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

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.
