Chapter 7: Anna Tachibana
I'm finally ready to go to school, but before I go I have double-checked my appearance if there is something wrong, after confirming that it's fine. I smiled at myself.
"Great! Now, I'm at least presentable for any possible interaction."
Though I'm not sure how it would go since it's been a few months since I've talked to someone my age, except for Jaune of course, plus they weren't talking but chatting.
Before I forget I kissed my mother on the cheek and said. "I'm going now, mother."
My mother smiled at me brightly and replied. "Have a good day, you look handsome with your uniform young man!"
A typical mother's response to her son, most parents say their son is handsome but in reality, only 2% are, but it's a morality boost so it's perfectly fine and healthy.
"I know, mother," I answered without a shame, truthfully speaking, I do have a good appearance, but not to the point that I'll be called handsome often, only once in a while.
From my experience interacting with people, you should be confident of what you are, but not too much unless you want to be hated or branded as narcissistic, but there are exceptions for these people who had those top-tier appearances.
I'm honestly a bit jealous of what they had, they won the genetic lottery, but I'll have my chances soon so, I wasn't too worried about it.
The school bus arrived and I went inside and took a seat at the corner of the bus, a good thing it was still empty.
After taking a seat, I took my phone out of my pocket and used it as an excuse to open my group chat.

(Chat)
Blake "Good morning everyone."
For a few minutes, no one replied but I wasn't too surprised, because from what I've known we have a different timeline, plus the others are busy.
Jaune "Oh hey, it's the night for me I've just finished my training with my partner."
As you can see, he changed his chat name and the others did too, except for me and Echidna.
Blake "So, let me guess you're taking a shower right now?"
Jaune "Yep, can't sleep with my sweats you know?*
Blake "So, hey are you still courting Weiss?"
Jaune "How did yo- Oh yeah right..you know everything about me."
I frowned, it wasn't just Jaune all of my other members believed that I know everything about them, don't get me wrong I did try to convince them that I was not what they believe me to be, after all, I didn't want to lie to with my friends, but they just thought of my words as bullshit.
So, I've given up convincing them of what I truly am, but I didn't tell them that they are merely fictional characters in my world, because I'm afraid it would be too much for them to take in, or maybe not but I'm not telling them their future if they won't ask me, it's completely their choice.
So far, no one has asked me about it.
Blake "So, do you?"
Jaune "Yeah…"
Blake "I don't need to guess that it went badly huh?"
Jaune "Yep, I've tried a few times now but I've been rejected by her every time."
Others might not know his feelings, but I do every time Weiss rejects him, it's slowly tearing him apart, because he truly did love Weiss behind his goofy smile there was pain beneath it.
As a friend, I wanted to tell him that Weiss isn't worth it, but he'll probably brush it off, because love is a bitch, so all he can do is support him.
Blake "You know, you're kind of degrading your feelings, you can talk to me, heart to heart you know? Don't say it like it's no big deal getting constantly rejected by her, if you ask me I can help."
I know that my help wouldn't do much, but hey at least I'm helping.
Jaune "I...I...I admit that it hurts honestly it's like someone stabbed a knife in my heart every time she rejects me.."
I know that feeling Jaune, I do before I've gotten a girlfriend who I thought was my destiny, I've been rejected many times, some hurt like hell, and some don't.
Blake "That's normal if you're seriously in love with someone, it would be strange if you don't, anyway if you want my help first stop calling her Snow Angel, it only works on certain people and I might sound harsh but you're not one of them, at least for now. Second, don't call her beautiful. Do you think a girl of her caliber would fall for you after being called beautiful? Say those to her thousand other suitors! Third, don't sing her a song if you're nervous and not confident about it, you'll only make her annoyed if you fail. Fourth flowers? How many guys do you think gave her those? Fifth she's an heiress. She's naturally prideful, so your best shot is to treat her like a normal person and don't be a yes man, convince her that you are genuine and aren't after her money and father's company. It's hard but you have to try. Seventh she also has her issues so please understand that I'm sure you do after all that's how you fell in love with her in the first place right?"
And after giving him my advice I thought. 'And Eighth, dye your hair blue, it might increase your chances.'
Then I snorted in amusement and thought 'As if it would work!'
But truly, I should tell him to cut his hair because it looks like a mop.

Jaune was surprised by the advice that Blake gave him, no one had ever given him detailed advice for courting Weiss.
As he finished reading them, he was shocked by their accuracy, most of it was completely reasonable, and what he was doing with Weiss made him rethink.
Then he realized how badly he failed! Not only did he do it, but he's also making Weiss hate him!
"Damn, I should have asked him for advice earlier!"
Jaune was many things, but he wasn't a fool, he understood that his actions of courting Weiss made him less likable in her book!
Now that he realized this, Weiss doesn't have much of an impression of him, to begin with, he only made it worse.
He finally realized his denseness.
Jaune thought. 'Shit, I have to change my approach right now! I have to change her opinion about me first rather than courting her!'
Because he realized this, he had to thank his group administrator for this.

Jaune "I see! I didn't realize my mistake! Thank you for showing me my flaws!"
I smiled at his reply.
Blake "No problem, I'm glad to help and besides that's what friends are for, don't be shy to ask me for help next time."
Jaune "You're a great friend, thank you."
Now it's making me blush, was my advice really that helpful? He's giving me too much credit, but anyway I should tell him about his hair ASAP.
Blake "Am I? So, I'll give you another piece of advice: go cut your hair, it's a great way to start anew."
Jaune "You think so? I-i guess I do need a haircut.."
Good, he's taking my advice well, good boy but I think I'm forgetting something quite important….oh his bunny onesie I should tell him to get rid of that monstrosity!
But before I could chat in the group chat. Suddenly sometime taps my shoulder, and I shifted my attention toward that person.
It was a girl at his age, wearing the same uniform as him, but with a skirt, she looks like an Asian-American, she has long black hair that reaches her waist, she wore a black backpack with an anime keychain, she also has a lot of earrings on both of her ears, along with a black mask on her mouth.
Honestly, my first impression of her is like she's the main character that was straight out of an anime.
But to my concern, why did she tap my shoulder? I looked at her with a questioning expression.
"What?"
Then she pointed at my seat and answered. "That's my spot."
Oh.
"Oh."
I was silent for a moment, before adding. "Really? Because I don't see your name on it."
I should have worded it better, but it was too late to change it anyway.
After I said that, she frowned at me and said, "Stand up, and you'll see my name."
What? Is she serious?
By curiosity, I stood up and stared at what was beneath me, and I saw a name.
Anna Tachibana.
Wow, she's really serious that she had her name on, welp too bad she had marked it as her territory, leaving me no choice but to take another seat. I wasn't a stubborn person and I don't want to give this girl a reason to hate me.
So I changed my seat just a few inches away from the main character's girl.
After I left, she took a seat in my former seat but gotta admit she has a juicy ass.
All of sudden without a warning, she glared at me, as if she felt my indecent thoughts about her.
I quickly avoided her gaze. I thought. 'Is this the legendary sixth sense?'
After that we both spent our time in silence, using our phones to pass time, none of us were trying to start a conversation.
Because I wasn't a believer of 'Strangers are just friends that you haven't met' but unless she starts the conversation first, I'd happily comply.
But it seems that she doesn't have any plans of doing so.
After the not so awkward atmosphere between us, slowly the bus was getting full and we were finally at the school parking lot.
I looked at the window to see the school, and I muttered. "It's good to be back…"
(End-)
Alright patience, the conflict begins next chapter the low-key face slapping begins!
Also about Anna Tachibana, it's fairly obvious that she's one of the heroines of our MC. I won't promise that she'll be the last one because we'll never know what the future holds!
