Real || Ririka M.

Chapter 2

You dropped the unnecessary things in your locker as you rushed to your room. You successfully avoided bumping each and every student except,

"Look where you're going" The Vice President said with her usual robotic voice, she looked at you and you noticed that she was one or two inches taller than you. You blinked realizing that you were still staring "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful from now on" you said bowing before rushing to your classroom.

You entered the room to see that there wasn't a teacher yet and you sighed before dropping your bag on a seat at the middle of the room, making sure that no one saw you.

You looked around and no one here seemed to interest you so you continued on daydreaming. Soon the teacher walked in and started her lesson and then another teacher, the day was completely normal.

You were the top of your class, not that it matters, how people treat you depends on how well you gamble. So no one still knew who you were despite being the top of the class.

Gambling. You were quite good at it, exceptional even, but you weren't challenged much so you don't get the chance to prove yourself. You've lost once and got in debt for 3 million yen but you played it immediately, not even letting the student council write you a life plan.

The student council. They were okay people, runa told you about each and every one of them, except the vice president since she didn't know anything about her either. You hated the mittens and Fido system but you kind of understand where the president is coming from.

The class ended and you went to the cafeteria grabbing one sandwich and heading outside to sit on one of the benches. The weather was the perfect kind of weather, When both heat and cold are balanced and everything just becomes so easy in the seconds that you experience that type of weather.

The sky looked like it was going to pour rain any second now but you knew better, basing on the news forecast, the feel and the smell of the fresh air, it was the perfect weather.

"Now if I only had my sweater" you mumbled as you sat down in a very secluded spot not noticing another person's presence.

"Hello"

You looked to your left so fast that you heard cracking sounds at your neck. You groaned at the pain and held your neck.

You heard very weird yet soft? giggles coming from the Vice President, the sole reason that your neck was in pain right now. You playfully glared at her and if her mask was off, she probably would've raised her eyebrows.

"Are you alright?" Her weird robotic voice asked.

"Mhm it's gone now" you said as you looked at your sandwich with a bit of nervousness.

Ririka POV

She looked at her sandwich weirdly and I got worried for her. "Uhm may I ask what's wrong?"

She looked at me and blinked a couple of times and then seemed to have a realization. She was so cute, wait what Ririka you're calling someone CUTE??

She seemed to notice my pause and smiled before answering, "I just don't have an appetite today" I looked at her with confusion

"Why did you buy one then?" I asked her

She looked at me and then smiled "Runa was kind of looking at me at that time, and I got scared"

I let out a genuine laugh and she seemed to be happy seeing that, my heart swelled.

"Uhh how about you Vice President? Are you gonna eat?" She asked me with concern. I got kind of embarrassed and felt hot under my mask so there was a huge pause before she broke the silence

"It's okay if you don't tell me of course" she said smiling and patting my shoulder gently. The contact made my face feel hotter. Ririka what are you doing??

I was about to answer her when she faced away from me, her back was in front of me. I got confused and was about to ask a question where. She suddenly said. "You're embarrassed of taking off your mask in front of a stranger right? Now just lean on me so you get to eat, I promise no one can see you here and I won't look"

I was speechless. Utterly speechless. How do you respond at that??

"Look I'll even eat this if you eat too, and I l- like your company and I don't really want to leave"

"O- okay, thank you" we sat together with our backs together (A/N: just like the picture above) and talked a lot, she was very surprised by my voice, I can't blame her. I felt very comfortable with her and she actually didn't try to peak.

Minuets passed and we knew that classes would start. I was about to say something when

"I think we should go now, classes will start in a few and I really don't want to be late" she said and I nodded putting on my mask. She got up and smiled at me before starting to run towards the school.

She stopped a few feet away from me and turned around, I tilted my head in confusion and she grinned, she looks so pretty when she smiles.

"I had a great time! Be more proud of yourself vice prez! I hope you'll get more comfortable with me next time!" she said before running again.

I waited for her to be out of my vision before I sank to the ground, my face was hot and my heart was beating fast. I don't know what's going on with me but I felt happy knowing that we'd talk again next time.

Y/N POV

What the hell did I just say??? You internally panicked when you sat on your seat and all of what just happened sank in. I like your company?? Wtf was that Castillo! You grumbled and buried your head in your arms, you were so embarrassed.

"Did I just have lunch with the Vice President... " You mumbled quietly and the teacher suddenly called your name, you forgot that class already started.

"Miss Kane right?" she asked and you nodded.

"please translate the phrase in English" the teacher smirked, she probably thought you were stupid or something, even teachers forget who you are.

"Umm,  It is important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay though never quite eradicated, this is a quote from Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire right?" You asked in English after you answered. The teacher nodded and let you sit down.

You sat down and the day continued on as normal with you daydreaming through everything that happened.
