Why does mom keep waking me up early saying I'm late? Hardly anyone is here yet.
"What up, J-man?"
there's only one person alive who would call me something that stupid.
"Kiyoshi I swear if you call me that I'll-"
"Oh come on John, You know you like it! Its our friend thing! You call me Kiy and I call you J-man!"
"I have never once called you "Kiy!" Stop trying to make this a thing!"
This guys Kiyoshi. He's... Kiyoshi. Not the most popular. Not the most intelligent. Still, he's a close friend and more into sci-fi then I am.
I might go so far as to say he's fun, but I'd advise waiting for my full review.
Well, fun so long as he isn't hitting on girls like the shameless pervert he is, I mean.
"Heeeeey Ladies."
And here we go.
To Kiyoshi there are three kinds of people in this world. Attractive feminine girls he wants to date, guys, and none of the above. And its just painful watching him trying to interact with category 1.
This time his latest victim happened to be two of the most popular girls at school.
Sayaka, A girl with long pink hair, is the veritable queen bee of the senior class and head cheerleader.
Despite the upbeat cheer performance and sweet and innocent facade she puts up around teachers, the girl has a mean streak that she seems more then eager to exert on my friends- or anyone she dislikes for that matter.
Cornelia, The short orange haired girl standing beside her, is Sayaka's second in command and yes-man all rolled into one.
If Sayaka says to do something, you'll be sure to hear Cornelia repeat it. It's not like you'd ever be far away from the source if you did, either, considering she rarely leaves Sayaka's side.
And as much as I should have felt bad for their suffering at the hands of Kiyoshi's latest "wooing" attempt, It was hard to muster up much sympathy for a soul pair like them.
"What the fuck do you want, Perv" said Cornelia
"Oh, I just think I'm going to be late to class" said Kiyoshi
"..." said Sayaka
"Because I'm so lost in your eyes right now." said Kiyoshi
"ugh fuck off." said Sayaka
"forever" said Cornelia
that... wasn't as bad as I was fearing. Terrible, yeah, but I've seen him do worse. Oh I have seen him so much worse.
"Hey, I'd say I actually made progress that time!" said Kiyoshi
"Look I Know you'd go for anyone... but those two? Seriously?"
That would be our friend Katrina, my other best friend. Competitive and athletic she's way into fantasy, as much as Kiyoshi is into sci-fi.
Shes also a bit of a tomboy, which is probably why Kiyoshi doesn't hit on her every 5 minutes.
"think about it Katrina! What better way to counter the wild seas of personal conflict then with a romantic mending of the bridge. It's a tale practically as old as time itself." said Kiyoshi "Yes they'll be eating out of the palm of my hand in no time. John Understands. It's thanks to that book he gave me that I was able to get this far."
Book? Wait did he mean the gag book of puns I gave him last month? I... I think he does. Wow.
The worst part has to be that its working. That was a step up from his usual game.
"Come on you lady-killers, we need to get to class" said Katrina
*****
In the hall you heard the morning announcements saying "Good morning everyone! Unfortunately, our usual speaker, Emily, is sick today. be sure to wish her a swift recovery. But the good news is that you get the morning news from me, your very own student council president Yui Yamashita. First up-"
The voice on the intercom would be Yui, Our class representative and Student council president. I was very glad she was at the office instead of here: if she ever sees me a second late to class the lecture begins. Plus she knows I live within walking distance of the school, so i usually don't have any excuses. The worst part is we were actually friends growing up and are parents are still really close. I know she means well, but if she'd had the same stick up her ass back then as she does now, I doubt eight-year-old me would've given her the same benefit of the doubt.
"-Thankfully has decided not to press charges against our school. Finally our girls swim team managed to snag first place at the regionals last weekend! Let's hear it for Team Captain Flavia and her new district record."
The classes attention shifted to the center of the room where the aforementioned captain was seated. Flavia simply gave a humble smile as a cheer went up throughout the classroom, but you could tell that she was proud of the swim teams latest victory. While we might have had a love of swimming at this school Flavia attracted a... different kind of love from the student body, particularly the guys. Even looking at her for just half a second, it wasn't hard to see why.
"And that ends the announcements, please have a fun-and safe-day of school." finished Yui
"Alright, Alright, It's time to settle down now. I know everyone is very interested in Flavia and the teams accomplishments. But there's a test coming up, and lets just say that you need more review then I do" said the teacher Ms. Williams
A unanimous groan replaced the cheering in an instant.
"Now to begin-" said Ms. Williams
Our Teacher Ms. Williams who had, for the better part of a year insisted we call her "Connie", quickly looked down at something on her desk before addressing everyone with a smile.
"-If you aren't looking forward to this test, that's just a sine that you need to study more!" said Connie
...
"get it? don't make me go on a tangent" said Connie
...Is that a cricket chirping?
"Y-Y'know like cosine and tangent" said Connie
"Oh, I get it, Connie" said Kiyoshi
At this she seemed even more despondent. She slid a book off of her desk and into an open drawer.
Is that the same pun book I gave Kiyoshi a month ago? Is it breeding or something?
"...Lets just start class" Said Connie
After your morning classes it was lunch with Katrina and Kiyoshi like usual
