What a peaceful place... I should do it sometimes, don't do anything, just stare at the tree in front of me, quietly feel the sensation of warm air and ignore any other students' gazes on me. Is this paradise? Can I call it lucky?... ahahahaha don't joke around... Of course not!!

" I'm bored"

My name is Lucas Menez but my friends often called me Lu, a high school student. I love reading books especially novels and mangas. Wait... is that counted as a book? ...well whatever. If some of you are wondering why I am standing outside of our class and staring at the tree in front of me like an idiot, I have a proper reason.

Yesterday I went to the bookstore and bought a new set of novel series and some manga of course. Since I'd already finished the one that I recently read. After I got home I decided to read two to three chapters before I started to make my homework.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they were expected, instead of two or three chapters I'd finished reading seven volumes and I haven't even started to do my homework. I tried to finish but I got a phone call from my friend Hiro and told me that I am twenty-six minutes late for our class. Therefore here I am a scolded by our teacher and standing outside our class as a punishment. what a pain right?...

If only Hiro had told me that we would not go to school together today... we were supposed to attend school together today as always but he didn't tell me anything that he would go to school first... Hiro you traitor!

Just imagining him laughing at me from his seat makes me feel anger.

"Ohoho... how is it feels to stand outside the class while the other students are looking at you Mr. Lu?" speaking of the devil, it's Hiro talking to me from the window.

He is Hiro Marteuis, we're always been together since my first day in this school, it's two years ago my first-year high school days. As I remember our first meeting didn't go well, On the first day of the school year he tried to bully me by sticking a piece of gum on my uniform but I instinctively punched him before he even put the gum on my uniform. Isn't that amazing that we became friends after that?... or should I say that isn't it weird that we became friends after I punched him?...

"Yeah it's thanks to you I looked like a security guard of our classroom"

He laughed. "That's true you look like a dog waiting for its owner"

" Oooy! who looks like a dog yo––"

" It seems like you're enjoying your punishment Mr. Menez" ... ahhhhh I'm dead... I didn't even notice that our teacher was standing in my back.

"After school go to the teachers office" she said and then she left without waiting for my response.

[Lucas Menez, 15 years old died because of nervousness.

"aaaahhhh don't leave me!!" —Hiro who keeps pulling Lu's soul back to his body]

"So, what are you planning to do?"

"Well, for now, I'll just think for my reason and—"

"It's Ms. Sophia!"

"Look at me ms. Sophia!"

"Aaaahhhh it's ms. Sophia"

"Can I take some pictures?

I was interrupted by huge noises coming from the students near me. As I thought she's here again, when will she plan to stop tormenting me?

"Oh~ is that you Lucas? why are you standing outside your classroo— don't tell me you're here because waiting for me, how sweet of you" she said and there are the stabbing stares from the students around us.

As I expected from the captain of the girls volleyball team, she's truly popular.

Sophia Marc... she is a third-year student but she's always visiting the second-year building just to make fun of me. I remember it all started last year when I accidentally hit her face with a basketball ball. But when I think about it, it is not enough for her to torment me every day.

If only I can get mad at her... damn you and your juicy looking thighs!!

"Oh, no response? That's a sham—"

"Well~ Sophia what brings you here to the second year building... again" I tried to speak politely I avoid clashing with the other students around us. If I make a mistake it will the end of my high school life and the high school romance that I always dream of will be vanished!

"Isn't it a little hot here? do you mind if I come into your classroom right?" damn this girl... how can I decline that if there dozens of deadly eyes from my classmates pointing at me...

"S-sure we gla—" I stopped after I heard someone murmuring nearby. Please give me a break...

"L- la- lady... Lady Sophia!!" and that's that, Hiro bluntly shouted out of nowhere. I almost forgot that aside from being my friend, he's also the president of Sophia's Fan Club. Though the school didn't authorize them to have that kind of club that's why they disguise themselves as the Volleyball Researcher Club where they always featured Sophia.

"Aaaaaahhhh Hiro overheated again!!"

"Somebody restrain him!"

"Take him far away from Lady Sophia!"

"No! Lady Sophia! I have a thousand pictures of you displayed on the wall of my room and I have a body pillow too! I dedicated my whole life to you and for you only!" — Hiro while being dragged by our classmates.

[Thus, Hiro Marteuis never be seen again...]

I remember I was in middle school when I first thought about it. I was so hooked on the manga that I recently read, that's where I started to wish for a high school romance.

[Lucas Menez on his first day of high school]—a signboard came out of nowhere...

“The spring has come! and so is my high school romance has now begun!..." [Lucas Menez, bluntly shouting after his first step on his high school]— a signboard came from nowhere...

Now let's see as I recalled, the main character will meet his heroine on the first day of school, they will bump into each other on the school ground and lately, they will found out that they will be in the same class. [Lucas Menez, a big fan of rom-com novel and mangas] — a signboard from nowhere...

[He got into his class without bumping with anyone else]— a signboard... nowhere...

Oh well, as if bumping with each other is the only way for the main character to get her heroine... [Convincing himself]—signboard... nowhere...

All the main characters were seating at the back next to the window acting like they were not interested in their surroundings —acting cool. If I seat there, there was a high chance that I'll get my high school romance drea— [There was a student already sitting at the back next to the window]— signboard

[Lucas Menez, screaming inside himself]— the signboard was tired...

✾This isn't the high school romance that I wish for✾

I quickly pulled out a chair and presented it to Sophia.

“Here y-you go..." I said with a nerve popping out on my forehead. Honestly, why do I have to do this? as if I submitting myself to her.

“Oh! how gentleman you are, Lu. Should I hire you to be my assistant or whatsoever?" Sophia laughed lightly as she sat on the chair that I provided.

“No... no, it's okay, you don't have to" cause just looking at your side, there a ton of students kneeling before you.

“What about us, Lady Sophia?"

“Is our service didn't satisfy you?"

“If you'll just throw us away, I'd rather be dead!"

Shut up you damn extras!!... and don't kill yourselves!!

“Is that so? ...what a shame" Oh! now I forgot to tell you something. Aside from being a volleyball star and a beautiful senior, Sophia was— Sophia Marc was a great Sadist. She often bullies not only me but also another person. “You there... buy me some drinks, you at the corner... yes the one who looks like an idiot buy me some bread... I want the freshly baked one, and you at the corner... get out of the room... your face disgusted me" and there you have it, the sadistic senior student, Sophia Marc.

...and for some reason, my classmates were extremely delighted to be bullied by Sophia.

“Give me a break..." I sighed.

“By the way, Lu" Sophia turned her gaze on me. “The school festival is about to come, do you have a plan to ask me to wandered every stall with you?" she asked as if she doesn't felt embarrassed about what she said.

Now that she mentioned it, I'd wondered what our class would do about the festival. Last year our class' stall ended up quite terrible—no it was not just quite, it ended up so terrible. Hiro was supposed to watch our fried noodle stall but he left to watch the game of the volleyball team—or just to watched Sophia played volleyball—and it ended up our stall burned into crisp.

“Well... let's just say that it was undecided due to what happened last year" I laughed awkwardly.

“I'll visit your stall so make sure not to burn it again" she leaned her face on my ears and whispered.“I'm counting on you" then she blew my ears that made me shivered.

And there's again the stabbing gazes from my classmate!! aahhhh they'll kill me!

“Lady—" there one more problem, Hiro escaped from his cage and now running towards us “—Sophia!!"

[A wild Hiro Marteuis appeared!

What will LU do?

-Fight

-Bag

-Pokmon

-Run]

Run, of course! Ru—Geh!—this isn't a Pokmon!

“Oh? isn't it, my dog Hiro? do you love the collar I gave you last time?" don't say it as if it was natural!. Sophia patted Hiro's head.

“Woof!"

Hiro! get a hold of yourself!

I sighed. This was too much pain in the neck, I don't know what Hiro ate and he became like that.

“By the way Hiro..." I called Hiro who's still crawling in front of Sophia “the school festival is already next month, what's our plan?"

It may not look like but Hiro is the class representative of our class, he may look like an idiot sometimes but he's always on top ranking of our class.

I just hope sometimes he shows some dignity as our class rep but looking at him now... impossible —it IS impossible.

“School festival?" Hiro tilted his head as if he doesn't know what ‘school festival' means. I'd just simply nodded as an answer. “None" he answered with a straight face.

Figured.

“More importantly Lu, did the teacher told you to head to her office later? do you really have time to thinks about what would we do next month instead of what will happen to you later?"

“Geh"

I almost forgot. It was just from the previous chapter but I'd forgotten that our adviser told me to go to her office after class and I haven't think what would I reason to her.

Thinking that I'll tell her that I was late and hadn't done my homework because of manga and novels was like committing suicide.

It was an absolute suicide.

For now, I'll blame Hiro for what happened to me—it is his fault in the first place—if he told me that we weren't headed to school together today then maybe instead of reading manga and novels, I'd did my homework.

“Your face looked like you were scheming something..." Hiro looked at me with his eyebrow furrowed.

“N-nothing..." I answered with a straight smile.

A moment after, the bell rang and so Sophia made her way along with her thralls out of our room. I'd supposed to be relieved that she was gone—not dead of course, just went back to the third year's building—but that was the opposite.

Many students surely are happy when the class ended, that was also for me, but not today because our teacher— inclement awful teacher—Ms. Hannah was waiting for me in her office.

Our school—Hanman high school or Hanhigh—was large enough to hold a single cubicle for each teacher, serve as their working area where the files, modules, exam papers, etc. located.

Just like the other school, Hanhigh was composed of buildings, large buildings that exceeded four to five floors and have five rooms in each row. Hanhigh also has a pool, cafeteria, gym hall, conference hall and it also has a soccer field—but not as large as those professional soccer fields, just a normal size school's soccer field.

Currently, I was in front of Ms. Hannah's cubicle hesitating to knock on her door. As I estimated, I was just standing right there for fifteen minutes and didn't move even a single bit.

I raised my hand to knock on her door but I pulled it back to me, then I raised it again and pulled it back to me.

I repeatedly did this before the door made a screeching noise and slowly opened.

Miss Hannah was gazing down at me, she was slightly tall compared to me so she needs to look her gaze down just to met my eyes.

“Oh, isn't that Mr. Menez?" I felt a bit nervous—honestly, it's not a bit, it was an extremely nervous flowing through my vain. I'd still looked down avoiding to met her gaze but I felt a pair of hands, held hot of my shoulder.

“M-aam?" I stuttered as I slowly looked up at her.

She was smiling, a smile that she hadn't shown on. our class even for a second, a smile that she never made before, I supposed, but it was quite familiar to me—like my mother when she needs something to me.

“Nice timing, I need you to do something for me" her smile still wasn't faded on her face.

I knew it, she's making me run an errand.

Looking at the building in front of me. I sighed.

So... What am I doing here again?

Currently, Ms. Hannah asked me to went to the first year building and wait for a certain person. I was standing there for twenty minutes, staring at how large the building was, looking around it like a suspicious fella.

Geh! even looked around it was obvious that there's no one left in this building! who am I supposed to wait? a ghost?

I sighed again.“It's bothersome, her legs were still intact so why do I have to be here? if she just scolded me and let me go home I could play the last stage I left yesterday.

[Lu Menez, staring at the building like a dog who's waiting for its owner]

That's too cruel!

Well, I got nowhere to go if I continued complaining in the air here, for now, why don't I look around inside the building. In the end, I decided to enter the building—so where were those twenty minutes waiting for?

It was the first time that I entered the building without any other people, I felt like I was in a thriller movie or something.

“It was a cold night when I entered the abandoned building" [Lucas Menez, starting to narrate what in his mind] “the rumor around said that a high school girl was crying here each night but no one saw her before even once" [Lucas Menez, starting to enjoy what he does] “No one ever sees her before they always heard the words ‘He—"

“Hey, you there..."

“Right those words, they continuously heard those wo—"

“Hey, you there..."

Wait, is it just me or somebody calling me?

I looked around but there was no person aside from me here in the abandoned building. [Still think that he was in an abandoned building]

“Is someone th—!"

I jolted as I felt someone pulled the hem of my uniform, a little girl who's holding a book was standing at my back. I bent my knee down just to level my face to her.

“Why is grade school student doing here in a high school building? is your parents a school staff here? or are you lost?" I patted her head. “It must be hard for you, come on let's go and find your paren—!"

Then she kicked my lower leg after I tried to help her—she kicked my leg.

“What is your problem you ugly brat!?"

She remains silent. Stepping back her right foot and kicked my lower leg again my times. Brook lee? is that you Brook lee?

“Shut up! I'm a first-year student you stupid upperclassmen!" her voice was contradicting her looks, her voice is scary it's terrifying!

“A—ahh I get it, stop, please. Just one more hit I felt my bone will be broken" I gave up.

“Just apologize first!"

“A—ahh sorry sorry, it won't happen again?"

“Add young lady"

“Huh? young lady? why?"

She gritted her teeth and kicked my leg faster than before. I asked if you were brook lee just answered!

“A—ahh I gave up, You win young lady, I apologize it won't happen again, so please stop kicking my little sorry leg"

She stopped, sticking out her breast—or more like her chest—to show that she was on a higher level than me.

But I just felt sorry for what she looked like. She looked like a kid who's proud of herself after she found a nice smooth rock.

“Then as a punishment, carry me on your back to Ms. Hannah's cubicle" she pointed he index finger in the direction of Ms. Hannah's cubicle.

Ah... what a bothersome, I just want to go home. Anyway, why would I carry her on my back—ah... she's the reason why Ms. Hannah sent me in the first year's ground.

“Let's go" I turned my back and attempted to walk but in a sudden moment, a book flew on my back and crashed into my head. “Ge-! what the heck do you want?" turning my gaze to her.

“Piggyback ride..." she mumbled. I just looked at her puzzled by what she said. “I want a piggyback ride can't you hear me!?" she groaned.

What are you, a grade school student?!

Ahh... if I want to go home early, I'll just do what she said and tossed her into Miss Hannah's cubicle. Then I was relieved from my punishment.

I sighed and bent my knee.

“Here, are you happy now? hurry I want to go home" I said irritably.

She tossed her hands wide open in the air, cheerfully said “Yey! yey! piggyback ride!" then returned to her usual scary looks. “You've seen nothing, stupid upperclassmen"

Just hop on already you stupid brat.

As she leaned her body on my back, one thought snapped on my mind. Board! as flat as board! I felt like a wall leaned on my back instead of a high school girl.

“Hey, stupid upperclassmen" she called with her head facing downwards as she hopped on my back “Did now... you just compared my boobs to a flat board?" I felt that she's emitting a killing intent aura.

Aaahhh sorry sorry spare my life!

“Just wait... sooner or later, it will be like my sister's boobs," she said with a faint of embarrassment on her face.

It is awkward!

I started to stand up, lifting her on my back, and walked towards Miss Hannah's cubicle. “So you have a sister, I wonder if she has a sharp tongue like yours"

“Geh! don't just turn your eyes quickly on my sister after you sexually harassed me, you stupid upperclassmen!"

“Don't kick me while you're on my back, do you want me to throw you?!"

“Just try it and my sister will gonna kill you!"

“Like hell I care, you siscon!"

[Thus, Lu Menez met the sharp-tongued underclassmen.]

On Miss Hannah's cubicle

The teacher furrowed her brows as she saw Lu in front of her with the sharp-tongued underclassmen carried on his back, she blinked many times to make sure that her eyes didn't deceive her. She sighed as she lightly massaged her right temple.

“So why are you carrying my sister like that?"
