A week later after the volleyball match

*Swoosh*

I overheard my classmates talking about where we are headed.

"It seems like we will be going to an island owned by the academy to take the special exams as a class." a student said.

"Woah! I wonder how big the island is!"

All of the first years boarded in this one super train that is en route into an island called Isla de Servival, it is translated into Island of Survival in english.

I wasn't particularly worried about what awaits us there as long as it won't trouble me and my inner peace.

"The world really is an art."

I opened the bag I brought with me to grab some candy to chew in order to prevent motion sickness, better safe than sorry.

*Chew*

My phone vibrated so I checked on it.

It seems like someone messaged me.

Ah I finally got your number! Can we meet up somewhere?

It was from an unknown number so I was quite confused as to why would a stranger just randomly decide to message me directly considering I am not that socially active.

I held my phone for quite a while thinking what to respond.

"I really should be asking someone's advice when it comes to this."

Staring down the phone and thinking what to do for minutes, I finally decided to respond.

Okay.

I then turned the phone off and opened up the book I was currently reading.

It's already been half an hour since the train started up and we've been travelling at a relatively calm yet swift pace.

The train in itself is actually quite large,  in every passenger car there are specifically 20 students in it. The train that my class is riding is only consisted with 5 main parts, 1 is for the power car/the main part of the train, 2 for the passenger students, 1 for the canteen area, this part is a lot bigger than the other parts in fact it's as big as the first three parts mentioned, and lastly the lounge area where students can hang out when they are allowed.

The train's lightings and designs are pretty aesthetic and simple yet very advanced at the same time I quite like it.

"ANNOUNCEMENT! CLASS S HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN THE NEIGHBOURING ISLAND AND THEY WILL NOW BE TAKING THE SHIP TO ARRIVE IN EVERY CLASSES' MAIN DESTINATION, AS FOR OUR CASE WE WILL BE ARRIVING IN THE NEIGHBOURING  ISLAND AFTER 2 HOURS AND IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 3 HOURS TO REACH THE ISLAND OF SURVIVAL BY SHIP. YOU ARE NOW ALLOWED TO ENTER THE CAFETERIA AND THE LOUNGE, BE SURE TO RETURN TO YOUR RESPECTIVE SEATS 15 MINUTES BEFORE WE ARRIVE, WE WILL BE GIVING YOU NOTICE SO PLEASE OBEY RIGHT AFTER WE DO! HAVE FUN IN THE TRIP!"

The sounds of the announcement then faded and my male classmates are now slolwy moving towards the back where the cafeteria is located, fancy the girls for they are much closer to it.

I myself started to walk towards the cafeteria to grab some coffee and maybe just hang out in the lounge with Andres for a while.

As I was walking though, I received another message from the same person.

Can we meet up somewhere in the lounge?

The person requested.

Okay, just tell me where exactly when you are ready. I responded.

Okay!

I then walked and later on arrived at the cafeteria, I ordered a cafe latte to sweeten up my pallate.

*Sip*

I received a message from the same person yet again while I was sipping some coffee.

Ah I see you!

As the person sent me that messaged I looked at my surrounding for quite a bit.

Not a moment later I saw someone tapping on her phone, and as she was done with it I received a message.

You see me now?

When I finished reading the message, I diverted my eyes from it and unto the woman, she slowly walked towards me and it was clear, she was the person that was messaging me.

The woman appeared to look boyish yet very feminine at the same time, her hair's tomboyish yet she look attractive with it, her fashion style is top-notch that it's actually quite impressive.

She then stood in front of me.

"AHA! Uesugi! I am so pleased to have finally meet you face to face!" the woman exclaimed.

She seems so cheerful just like Onodera.

"You know you are so amazing in that volleyball match a week ago! I am totally a fan of you now!" she added.

Was that the reason as to why this woman want to talk with someone like me? It seems like it really is a bad idea trying to stand out.

"Uhm, thanks."

The woman looked at me and then smiled looking excited.

Huh?

"I REALLY LIKE THAT ENERGY YOU ALWAYS GIVE OUT! CAN WE BE FRIENDS???!!!"

I am actually so flustered as of now, puzzled on why this gal likes the aura I emanate.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What I mean is I want to be your friend! You seem like a cool guy and all you know, you and Andres is such a dynamic duo and I want to be a part of it!"

"Ooookay? but shouldn't you heighten your standards a bit when it comes to making friends?"

"EH? But you guys are my type of friends though! Pretty please?!" she said those with sparkling eyes that I guess no one could resist.

It's quite annoying to get stared at so I just have to agree.

"Alright, just stop it with those eyes and begging."

"Yay!"

She then shaked my hand to thank me.

"I promise you, you wouldn't regret it!" With those words she then gave off a bright smile.

I am starting to feel like this is just the beggining, I really have to stop attracting as much attention if I want to live the life I want.

That really was a huge error on my part huh? If this continues I will really be annoyed.

I then invited the woman to a coffee and let her sit down beside me.

She then ordered an espresso.

After taking a sip on her coffee I asked her something.

"May I ask you something lady?"

She then let out a sigh of relief from drinking her coffee.

"What is that?"

After asking me what the question was she continued to drink her coffee.

"Who are you?"

She choked on her coffee and it made her spat it out a bit.

"EEEHH?!"
