“Let me introduce our new student, RIN, she’ll be joining our class from now on!” said by the teacher as she introduced a new student into my class, “Rin, you can sit right next to Aaron and say hi to your new classmates.”
“E……...EHHHHHH?!......” I was shocked for a second and stunned, just like a rock standing on the ground without moving. Did I hear WRONGLY? Or not? The person that is going to sit right beside me is a girl?!
“Nice to meet you, everyone……..” she said softly and walked to her place that was settled by the teacher.
Rin was quite a quiet and shy person when she had been transferred to my school. She had straight long white hair and one of her blue eyes was covered by her long hair. Since she had settled to sit beside me, the students at the backseat started to make many fake messages around the classroom about me and Rin’s relationship.
“Hey, look at the ‘king of prankster’ with her, how ‘sweet’..... Haha!”
“He’s going to enjoy this……haha!”
I could hear their nonsense whispers from front to back as she passed through their seats. I wanna ‘kill’ them right now, there’s nothing to do with me and her! Anyway, I will try to ignore them no matter what, I will remain as the ‘king of prankster’! After she sat down beside my place, she took out her things and put them on the table. Fun fact, when I accidentally looked at her face again, I began to wonder why she needed to cover one of her eyes. Is there any special or mysterious power that is hidden inside her? Am I watching too many magic series or dramas? Err…. I want to see what she covers beneath her hair…..
“Alright class, shall we begin our lesson?”
Everyone shouted “YES” loudly and got ready to start the lesson. Let me tell you a secret, as the teacher was teaching, I usually chose to be lazy, watching the view outside of the mirror or planning my next prank, because the class is boring. But, today I felt weird. When I tried to get lazy while I’m writing, something immediately struck through my heart. It felt like there’s a knife strike into me and I could feel the pain within me without seeing blood coming out of my body, then I lifted my hands and grabbed my chest tightly, I kept breathing heavily until Rin realised something happened to me.
“Erm….. Aaron…….wanna go to the…..” she talked softly. As she spoke, some classmates turned their heads towards me.
“No thanks, I’m ok…” I replied with my tongue pressing my airway which made my tone sound childish.
“Alright then, let us continue.”
What has just happened? It’s the same feeling as I’m walking on the road. I began to sweat and my hands kept shaking, I couldn't write a single word and I was scared. Then, I felt someone is parting my shoulder, it was Rin.
“Are you really, ok?” she asked me softly again.
“I’m really ok, look! I’m a man right now! Haha! Ah-”
Did I just speak out loud? This is the first time that I shouted 'I’m a man' in front of the class, at least the teacher didn't hear me clearly. Then, Rin started to laugh by covering her mouth silently.
“If you are, then shall we continue our own things?” she asked with a smile.
“Y-yea…..”
Then, she continued to take down the notes from the whiteboard. This is the first time that I see a shy and quiet girl smiling..... My face became red from shyness. What’s with the feeling?.... Come on Aaron! What are you doing???....
“What are you doing, huh? You are acting kinda……Hmmm...….” said by my classmates who were sitting right behind me with their eyes staring at me suspiciously.
“I’m going to kill you first!!!”
I had nothing to say about them no matter what, they were still going to talk about it for the next few days.
Finally, the break time started after the second period, let me start my plan B…EGH! WHAT IS THIS?! I felt like this kind of feeling is coming back again.
YOU SHALL NOT ALLOW TO PRANK ANY PEOPLE ANYMORE………
What’s the noise?! It just keeps repeating the same sentence in my brain. Please let it stop! I don’t want this!
YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS!!
EGH! The strike of the………….
Then, I’ve shocked, fainted and fell onto the floor. Darkness is not my enemy, why is it just coming towards me? Around 10 minutes later, I opened up my eyes and hoped that there won’t be anything to attack me again.
“Oh! You’re awake! You must be fainted because of tiredness or something……” said the nurse.
“I’m probably very tired because of staying overnight…..Hehe…”
Actually, I’m not okay, but I need to let her know that I’m actually fine.
“Oh, I see…. Then you should sleep early, you can go back to your class now.”
Then, I left the nurse’s room. I’m still feeling frightened, but I need to keep up, maybe it’s just my illusion. When I walked back to my class, the classmates in my class immediately came to me and asked kindly whether I’m feeling well.
“Are you alright? I’m sorry that I tell everyone about the fake information of your relationship between Rin and you.....I won’t do this again next time, I promise ....”
“Yeah, very sorry about that…….”
“It’s okay, I’ll forgive you……” I replied.
“Which means…. we can continue ‘prank’ our ‘king of a prankster!?”shouted by all my classmates.
“Hey, I said I will forgive you, not to use my kindness as a threat for another prank!!! Ok?!”
Geez…… Never mind, at least they already apologise to me ( “Maybe you should be the one who needs to apologise them first…….” readers note ). Then, the bell rang and all students went back to their place and continued the lesson until the class dismissal. The rest of the story was just talking about me and my other fellow students listening to the teacher’s notes and writing them down, so I skipped them.
I forgot to tell you that my school is different from the other school because the lessons always started on the first day back to school and I found it boring as always.
=============================================================
Yes! Finally! School has finally ended and I can go home now! As I was going back home, I said goodbye to my classmates and went back home on my own. I had never got any other classmates who were using the same road as mine, so this is the time where I started to think about what interesting things I had done during the first day of school.
See my old friends? Hmmm…. Yes…..
See my new teachers? Yes…..
Get to do more than 5 pranks to different students? Well….. maybe…. Yes?…..
Get to make new friends? Hmm…. I don’t think I have made new friends at school…
In my life, I didn’t get to make many friends as they always think that I’m a weirdo who always calls himself a ‘King’ or trying to be outstanding than others. Well, you know that’s my own personality. Not having too many friends is ok for me, I’ve already got used to it…. Although you saw that there were many people inside my class who always praised what I did, in the end I already knew that people would never bother to care about me. The more I thought about making new friends, it made me lower my head even more.
Then, I felt someone patting my shoulder and I was surprised. I wondered who that would be. I immediately turned my shoulder to the back, it was Rin. She carried her bag and moved her head forward to see my face clearly.
“What’s the matter? You seemed to be more lonely than I suspected…….” she talked softly.
“No-Nothing….. I'm always alone while I’m going back home from school. You're just misunderstanding something….”
“Did your parents stay with you? I thought they were going to pick you up from school…”
“Listen! My parents had gone overseas for work, they just left me here to let me continue my studies for many years....”
“Oh….. so, you’re always alone right?”
“N-…..Yes,” I answered even more silently. My parents just don’t care about me, they only care about their work and their salaries. That's the reason why I hate my parents as always. Then, Rin walked beside me.
“By the way, you always walk this way to the home right? Me too from now on……”
“Eh? ……so where did you live then?”
“Restraint street.”
“That's the same place where I lived in…… what a miracle! What is your house number?
“9”
“That’s the one right beside my house….”
“Hehe, you know, I’m also going to live alone too from now on, because I’m from overseas to continue my studies and my parents still live in my hometown and always go working.”
“Erm….. you’re lying…… right?”
“It’s true!”
“Haha!” I laughed. I realised that from now on, my life will changed in a different direction. I’m not as lonely as always and now it’s time for me to enter my new chapter of life.
“Alright then, so,” I put my hands up, “I-I know that this is a stupid request from me, but….. just want ask…… can we be friends?”
“Huh?” she shocks and felt like this is out of the sudden.
“I......I know that it’s kinda early that we haven’t known each other yet, but anyways….. w-would you be my friend?” I was nervous when I had spoken the words.
“Haha… this is my first time meeting this kind of weird person. Yes, I can be your friend….”
Then, she grabbed my hand.
“Nice to meet you, Rin!” I smiled and Rin paused for a second.
“Nice to meet you too, Aaron!” she replied with a smile.
Although my move is stupid and clumsy, but at least I’m able to try to make a new friend. It’s very strange that people can easily get ashamed of what they are doing, which happened to me all the time…… From now on, we have officially become friends. This makes me feel happy that I have made one new friend and completed all the tasks that I need to do for the first day back to school!!
“All right, come on! Let’s go home!”
