Beautiful World

Chapter 3 Silence

Asahi POV:

Gah... my feet are swollen from yesterday. I do love shopping, but Heaven made me follow her into at least a hundred stores. At least I got some cute clothes out of it. She has a lot more stamina than me that's for sure.

Asahi laid his head on his desk almost falling asleep. The young fawn wished to be back in bed snuggling in his blanket. 

"Luciasha~Sama, good morning!" Many first-year students greeted and crowded around her.  Heaven's beauty, kindness, and intellect were spread around the school like wildfire.  Almost everyone in the school knows her.

 "Good morning everyone!" Heaven greeted with a polite smile. An aura of nobility surrounds her as she takes one step. Everyone steps out of the way like obedient maids and butlers. 

She approaches the exhausted teen, "Asahi, there is a new bubble tea shop that opened recently. Do you want to go after school?" Asahi sprung up immediately shaking his head.

"Yessssss, boba!!!" I responded.

"Wonderful! Also, do you mind if I bring Takashi along?" Heaven asked.

"No, I don't mind at all," Truthfully I am a bit conflicted about Allard~Senpai coming. He probably wants to spend time alone with her. It will feel like am intruding on a date.

"Tch, why is she always spending time with you?" Shiro overheard.

"Heaven can talk to anybody she wants," I blissfully replied not looking at him in the eye. Sunshine and rainbows radiated out of the beaming teen. He was much too happy about getting boba to care about Shiro's jealousy.

"When did you start calling her by her first name?" Shiro glared at him more intensely.

"She told me to all of a sudden," I shrugged my shoulders. Fujiwara~San grumbled something under his breath and went on his phone. I sighed disappointedly for not making any progress for him to like me. Does he truly dislike me? 

"Bonjour à tous, we will review how to conjugate ER, IR, and RE verbs in the present tense. Then, we will be doing the speaking portion," Madame Cosette instructed. Confidentially, I filled in every blank fast and accurately. 

I looked up from my paper to see everyone else already finished before me! Calm down Asahi you just need to work harder. My confidence dwindled during the speaking portion as Heaven kept correcting my pronunciation. 

"Asahi, it's ok to make mistakes, " She noticed his hesitance in speaking.

"I know..." 

Heaven put her hand over her mouth thinking about how to motivate the disheartened fawn. A lightbulb appeared over her head, "Let me tell you a story. When I first started learning French in my third year in elementary. I was the worst in the entire class. I kept getting Fs and Ds on my tests and projects."

"Really!?" 

"Mhm, it took me the end of the school year to show results. I spoke, write, and watch French media every day to keep up with my classmates," Wow, that's very admirable of her.

"If you can do it, then I can do it," Heaven nodded in approval.

"Don't be afraid to ask for my help."

"Thank you, Heaven you're a lifesaver!" I bowed ninety degrees. 

"This school expects the best out of students. We have a secret code to always help each other," She made a playful shushing gesture. During the self-study session, Heaven taught me Passé composé and futur proche for next week's lesson. Wah... my brain hurts from learning! It's time to feed my brain with some Gyūdon~!
