Chapter 10

    Right after lunch period... was gym. Couldn't be at a worse time. For those who have gym right after lunch, they understand how terrible it is running with pizza slices and chicken sitting at the bottom of their stomach. It's like boulders weighing you down from the inside. Luckily, I usually only have takuan for lunch, so I don't need to go through such torture. But some of the students who clearly overate were clutching their stomachs and breathing heavily as they stretched. Poor things. I hope you choke on that luxurious food you got to eat today.

    *Tmp!*

    "Yo! Sir!"

    Shawn finally came from downstairs. Took him long enough to put on that uniform. I wonder what he was doing down there to take so long. Maybe trying to peek in the women's locker room? Eh. I wouldn't put it past him.

    "From the looks of your skinny stomach, did you have takuan again?"

    "I did."

    "Have you thought about trying other foods?"

    It's not like I have a choice in the matter, Shawn. Sigh...

"Well, that aside. How did things go with Cassidy?"

    Shawn stopped stretching and sighed.

    "She talked to me this morning at my locker and told me to meet her at the same place. But when I went there during lunch, she didn't show up. I guess she meant after school. It's fine. I can wait till then."

    Can you? I bet you were hyperventilating as the clock slowly ticked towards the end of lunch. Heck. Even now, I bet you're stressing out. Though... Cassidy didn't seem like the type of person to deny someone by not showing up. I have only met her once, but I could tell she's a nice person. So at the very least, you shouldn't need to worry about the worst-case scenario, Shawn.

    *Tweet!*

    The gym teacher blew his whistle and we all ran over to the meeting point. As I thought, we were going to be running two laps around the track. Curses. I may not have eaten a lot, but my stamina was that of a veteran neet. I'll probably be dead by the end of it. As for Shawn...

    "*Fwoo. Fwoo.*"

    He used to be in track and field! Running a mile or two would be a breeze for him! Khh! I swear if he slows down on purpose to make it seem like I'm keeping up with him like he usually does, I'm going to choke him!

    "E-Err, sir? Why are you looking at me like that?"

    "Tch! Just finish your two laps and wait for me."

    "You sure? If you want, I can-."

    "I'm completely sure."

    *Tweet!*

    We all stood at the start of the track and got in our positions. Our gym class was a bit different than most. Rather than having individual gym classes, our gym was big enough to have the entire school take the class at once. But with complaints from our gym teacher that taking care of that many students is impossible, the teacher was promptly fired. And then the gym classes were split into two. One before lunch, and one after. Course I got stuck with the one after.

    "..."

    I never thought of it, but there might actually be some people I-.

    *Bang!*

    "?!"

    I started running, but wasn't that a real gun?! Why the heck did the teacher not fire a blank?!
