Chapter 6: Chapter 6- Club Fair
Yuta POV
5 pm
School finished around 1 hour ago, currently I'm inside the gym with large group of girls and a boy. To my right side was kei Karuizawa who seemed to be 'interested' in me somewhat and to my left was the 'angel' of the class kikyo kushida who joined with us.
"So Kageyama-kun are you going to join any clubs?" Karuizawa asked next to me as she looked at me.
"Probably but I'm not sure which one though." I said to her as she smiled.
"You look like a athletic guy, a sports club?" She asked as I deadpanned, I think I could join the taekwondo club to be honest. If not student council seems like a great club to join. Who knows I might try becoming the president of the club hehe~!
Approximately 100 first year students were waiting in the back for the club fair to start. As we received few pamphlets about the other clubs.
"What about you Karuizawa? Any clubs you're gonna join?" I asked her as she shook her head.
"Nope clubs aren't my thing." She said as I looked at her, I guess someone like her wouldn't really fit in a club huh?
"You're staring intensely at me. Were you charmed by me?" Karuizawa asked teasingly.
"You're beautiful, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone was charmed by you." I said with a smile, the perfect example could be a guy from class A in the zodiac exam who's name I don't remember at all.
Karuizawas eyes widened as she was about to say something before she closed her mouth. A slight blush appeared as she looked away.
"Shameless…" she muttered as I could see three girls teasing Karuizawa more.
"Look at them being lovey dovey." No comment.
"Must be good being young~" Did you grow old already matsushita?
"Karuizawa-san it seems someone's charmed by you~!" Satou said as she looked at me with a grin.
Karuizawa blushed even more.
"Mou~ stop teasing me already." Karuizawa said with a pout as the group laughed, okay I gotta say that was kinda cute.
Soon it started, on the stage was a male approximately 170 cm tall, considered average or not particularly tall. He had a slim physique, smooth black hair, and sharp glasses, and his gaze seemed observant and analytical.
The student standing in front of the microphone looked at the first-years calmly.
"Do your best~."
"Did you forget to bring your notecards?"
"Ahahaha!"
The first years taunted him, but he didn't react. It was like neither the laughter nor the encouragement seemed to reach him.
The laughter slowly died down, causing the atmosphere to turn quiet and turn. The young man's apathetic expression didn't change.
"My name is Horikita Manabu, and I am the student council president," he said.
Well well well, look at him shutting down the clowns.
"The student council is also looking for first-year students to replace the graduating third-year students. There are no strict requirements to apply for the position, but those interested should not be affiliated with other clubs. Generally, we do not accept any candidate involved in other clubs."
His tone was soft, but the mood was still tense. He was releasing a powerful aura that dominated the gym.
"Also, we, the student council, are not looking for anyone with a naive way of thinking. Not only will that kind of person fail to get elected, but they will inevitably become a stain to this school. The student council is only responsible for regulating the students, but the school expects much more. Those of you who understand can become potential candidates."
After finishing his speech, he walked off the stage and exited the building.
"Everyone, thank you for coming. With that, the club fair is over. We will now open the reception area for anyone interested in joining. The reception area will only be open until the end of April, so anyone interested after then can bring applications directly to the club."
The tense atmosphere slowly disappeared.
"He silenced the first-years with his presence." Matsushita said as we agreed with her.
"I'm going to apply for a club." Hirata said and walked away with most of the girls going with him and leaving me with Karuizawa.
"Why did you stay?" I asked her.
"Because I felt like it."
"I don't believe you." I said with a teasing tone.
"Wouldn't you want to be alone with a beautiful girl like me?" I shook my head.
She wagged her finger and smirked, "You already admitted that I was beautiful."
"Are you fishing for another compliment Karuizawa?" I asked with a grin.
"I-i wouldn't mind another one." She said stuttering a bit as she had a faint tint of red in her face.
"Now that I think of it let's exchange contact information Kageyama-Kun." Karuizawa said with a smile as I nodded.
"Are you two getting close?" A voice directed toward us caught our attention, after we exchanged our contact information.
Hirata and the others were walking over to us.
"What do you mean satou-san?" Kushida asked tilting her head.
"They're planning a date!" Satou said with a teasing smile, I had a deadpan look. Karuizawa went red again but protested only for her to get red again and say "mou~".
"Sorry but I need to go somewhere." I said to them as they nodded.
"I see, meet you tomorrow then Kageyama-kun." Hirata said with a smile as I nodded of course exchanging contact with the group.
Me and kuraizawa made eye contact as I nodded and left for keyaki mall. Why to buy some clothes.
Looking at my phone specifically contacts:
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Chiaki Matsushita
Ken Sudo
Kei Kuraizawa
Kikyo Kushida
Satsuki Shinohara
Maya Satou
Mei-yu Wang
Yosuke Hirata
Eight people already eh? Not bad. Well whatever after entering the mall, I went to a clothe store.
Kei Karuizawa POV
High school. A fresh start, they said. A place to make friends, learn, and grow. But for me, it was a battlefield and a place to run away.
The moment I stepped into those halls, I sensed the tension—the unspoken rules, the invisible lines drawn by my peers. It was hard to be alone.
Bullying wasn't just a possibility; it was an inevitability.
I know the possibility of me not getting bullied won't occur but what if it happens somehow again?
I'd seen it happen to others—the whispers, the pointed glances, the exclusion and I had been through it.
But I vowed that it wouldn't happen to me again so I'll the act of a tough girl! I'll be different. Stronger. I won't act weak. I need to have popularity.
And the way is dating someone who's even more popular. Which is Yuta Kageyama from the first time I saw him he was attractive for sure, he looked innocent and fun but was forgettable.
Why him? Well if you didn't know the girls have a forum of lists on handsomes, boys that need to die, gloomy boys. It's a sort of ranking.
Yuta Kageyama, is first place in the first year boys and second overall just below a senior named miyabi Nagumo.
And someone like Kageyama-kun in my opinion is the best option to cling onto so I can survive.
With having that in my mind I decided to call Kageyama near at the park I was heading at.
[Kageyama-kun~ where you right now? (^^)] I texted him as I got a text immediately.
[I'm heading to the dorm~ do you need something from me Karuizawa?( ◠‿◠ )] I giggled at the emoji and texted him back.
[Yes, could come to the park near the dormitories? Please.] I texted back but he didn't respond back fast.
[Okay. I'll see you in a bit.] he texted back as I responded okay and sat down on one of the benches staring at the ocean.
I hope he can help me….
