The three idiots were at lowest in the class.They were among the worst of failures.It seems that this quiz was a kind of eye-opener before facing the midterms.
The eight people mentioned were in alarm.After the teacher left the class hirata stood in teacher's Podium and started,"Everyone in class, Please listen to me.We must prevent expulsion by all costs.It would be bad of we lose our friends after spending so much time with them.I propose forming study groups."
From the corner of my eyes I could see horikita's face showing a irritated expression.I can guess why she is like this.Knowing her she must be thinking that people who can't even pass are better leaving the class.This way of thinking is very flawed.
Each person's usefulness differs.It is not possible for everyone to excel in every field.Human beings are meant to have flaws.And flaws are to be expected in a defective Class like ours.
Most of the students readily agreed except three idiots from our class.It seemed they didn't want to study.Man I seriously felt bad for horikita.How was she going to reach Class A with this folk.
The day was over.I made my way to the room.I seriously had nothing to do.No one in my class talked with me.Well Kushida sometimes opened up conversation but other than her,no one bothered to show pity on the loner.
I seriously felt great for having Kamuro and Chihiro as friends.Well kamuro was little rude,and Chihiro was a little,what can you say, Talkative?She talked a lot.I honestly can't imagine her talking for less than 30 minutes.Ichinose too graced me with her excellent conversations.She was good at holding long conversations but was also considerate of listeners.
Man is it just me or all highschool boys get this much attention from girls?
Well nevermind.I thought if I should help horikita a little but I too was in fix as it was very hard unless those three idiots take initiative to study.
I chose horikita as the leader of the class because she was agressive in nature.She wanted to reach class A.It was kind of a obsession.Rest of the class had given up their hopes and had already succumbed to their fates.
Well I knew horikita would do something for those three if she truly cared about reaching Class A and if she didn't care than she would be a disappointment.
Fortunately she asked those three before they could leave the class if they wanted to join a study group.
I wasn't scared of her dragging me in this class mess.She must have got the message when I showed her, her own brother's Contact.She thought I was aware of their relationship.But honestly speaking I didn't know anything except that they had a strained relationship.If she tries to go against me revealing unwanted things,I would have no choice but to expose their relationship.One might think this is no big deal but two people in concern, Horikita Manabu and Horikita Suzune knew very well how it would affect their status in school.A Class Student Council President has a sister who is in D Class.
It may result in me losing cooperation of the student council president and destroy my relationship completely with horikita.
Only if they knew I was the one who spread the rumour.
I wasn't a fool to lose their cooperation.They both were valuable assets.Horikita manabu for this school.I didn't know how much power the student council president had but when I came to know that the he knew about my scores I was sure that they must have a considerate amount of power.Horikita Suzune was important for two reasons.She can hold her own in conversations.And she was arrogant.
Arrogant people are the easiest to manipulate.Just once you show them that you are better than them,than they would keep chasing you,to get better than you.They can't stand the fact of being inferior.
This will make horikita the perfect candidate because I think she is the most arrogant woman in Class D.Of course excluding Chabashira sensei.That woman is one of her kind.
I decided to call it a day.There are still two weeks till midterms.
The next day
I made my way out of my room to change into casual clothes.Tosay was a weekend and I had been invited by horikita.Who knew what was that woman thinking.As much as I knew she wasn't one to waste her time.
Well I understand her idea of studying,but not all students in this school are like this.Even people in class D are enjoying this freedom they are getting from school.Talking of freedom,no one knows but I was the one most enjoying it.Well why am I enjoying so much?That's a story for another time.
I made my way to Keyaki mall where I found horikita standing.Apparently she had been here for quite some time.I thought I was going to come early.
"Hey"I waved her.
She graced me with a nod and averted her gaze as if I was the most uninteresting person.
Typical Tsundere.
The hell I was taking the insult.
"I thought you were one of the types who used their time judiciously but here you are spending your time in the mall."I tried to counter her by trying to insult her.
Keyword Tried
"Indeed I'm surely wasting my time,not by coming to mall,but by meeting you."
Damn woman.My self esteem was dropping day by day.Kamuro and Horikita were truly a force to reckon with.
I kept quiet as I didn't want me to spend the day depressed.
"Follow me."
She asked me politely.No more like she ordered me politely.One could see her irritation.
We made our way to the coffee shop 'Pallet Cafeteria'. Where we sat on one of the table.We ordered our coffees and sat.And the first question she asked was one I had expected.
"How did you have my brother's number?"
"__"
"I asked you a question ayanakoji-kun."
What the hell.Should I try to be intimidating,no that's no good.
The best way out of here was to lie.And fooling horikita was no easy task.
I had an option to keep silent but that may gave her an idea that I don't trust her.And that was a worst case scenario.If she thought that I didn't trust her,then she may gain some opinions of me.But I had to give her only one opinion of myself.That I am Superior than her.
In that way she won't question me any further.Whether I'm superior than her or not it doesn't matter to me but it would matter to her as she is the one with superiority complex.
So the most ideal scenario would be she would think of me as an mystery.So the fear of her being inferior to me would exist.If she fears my superiority,then that would definitely cause some frustuation in her which would lead her to become more curious of me.
That's why she would follow me, only to know me more.
So the best approach here would be to provoke her.
"Why are you so angry,is it because I threatened you or is it because I,a complete stranger have his contact while his own blood related sister doesn't."
Her eyebrows twitched,it was evident that she was angry beyond imagination.
"Just what the hell are you thinking Ayanakoji-kun."
"_"I kept myself silent with the usual poker face.
My silent treatment seemed to have angered her more.She left the place without even saying goodbye.The people sitting near our table must have thought this was lover's quarrel.The hell,she was a person who had no interest in love and I was a kind of person who had more interest in the topic love than the real thing.
I had no problem with her leaving me but that woman.She left the bill on me.
Well no use fretting about it now.So then I was already here so why not enjoy here.
So I decided to think what should I do about this whole midterm problem.
Should I leave it to their own strength.Apparently eight people were on the risk of being expelled.
Well their was one plan on my mind but it came with its own risk.I would be exposing it to Kushida who seemed to be too cheerful and not the type of person who I can expect to keep secrets.In simple words I didn't trust her one bit.But she was my best bet.The fact is I was ready to bet on Kushida more than horikita.
Horikita is just too good for suspecting people.Maybe years of staying alone changed her.
Days passed and the day for midterm came.
I sat on my bench waiting for my teacher to distribute the exam sheets.I had learnt that the results would be evaluated in a week and will be revealed in the class in front of everyone.Well not that it matters.
I had done everything in my power,now it was on them to avoid expulsion.
If they can't do this then they are nothing but liability for the class.
I need assets,not people who would hold back.
Out of eight people I only doubted three,Sudo,Ike and Yamauchi.
Those three would have a hard time as they seriously hadn't studied a bit.
Will this be the second blow to our class.If we take this blow,it might be too late to recover.Not that it matters to me.
Because I just want to live my life here in peace.
(A.N The next chapter would be the last in this volume.And I removed this from hiatus.Why you ask?Well because I was getting too much comments.Truth to be told,I didn't expect this many views for this book,I thought that being my first Wattpad book it would be horrible.Well im glad you liked it.And the updates would be weekly as I got exams coming soon and believe me online exams are a huge pain)
