I'm Just A Chuunibyou: Why Are Maidens Falling For Me? [Volume 1]

CHAPTER 43: Just exchanging notes

The bell rang and lunch ended.

Mocha-san and I walked back to the classroom together.

I don't know why. But for some reason, the boys are staring daggers at me.

It was probably because I came in at the same time Mocha-san did so they most likely assumed we ate together(which we did) thinking how nice it would be to eat with a girl.

They got jealous just thinking about it. I didn't really think much of it.

The time we got back to the classroom, the bell just rang so there isn't much time for a crowd to form. For now, we are safe for questioning.

The teacher for this period arrived and class proceeds.

As class is proceeding, I'm still putting phase two to test to further my perfect sidecharacterization act.

I abandoned the listlessly looking outside the window to just looking bored during class.

This time I was looking straight so my neck doesn't hurt as much as it did when I was facing the window.

Mocha-san on the side seemed to be preoccupied, writing on a piece of paper on her table.

Hmm... What should I write?

It looks like she was giving a lot of thoughts on what she was going to write on the paper.

In the middle of class, a hand with a note poking me on the side trying to get my attention.

It was Mocha-san trying to hand me a folded piece of paper.

She was giving it as if she was saying take it.

I took folded piece of paper out of her hand and.... then tried giving it to the person in front of me.

"N-no. Stop!"

Mocha-san accidentally let out a voice from surprise. She didn't expect I would try passing it on to the person infront.

"Ahem"

The teacher cleared his throat in a very obvious manner as if to say "be quiet" to the person who let out the voice just now.

Her face turned red and stayed put, behaving herself out of embarrassment from her blunder.

She looked at me pouting having a somewhat annoyed glare.

You did that on purpose didn't you.

Is what she though. She still recognizes me as a delinquent so she thought I was teasing her. Just like the devious male leads in shoujo mangas who like teasing the female lead.

Was I not supposed to pass this?

It has been a while since the last time someone tried passing me a note. So I wasn't expecting it was meant for me.
[Being avoided / has no seatmates on the back]

When the teacher turned his back continuing with the lesson and writing in the board.

Mocha leaned closer and whispered.

"O, open it"

So it was for me...?

I unfolded the note. And what's written inside was "Let's eat together again sometimes?"

I tried to think of a response that a too cool to even care type of character would say.

I handed back the note to Mocha-san. She opened it and the answer that I wrote under her message was "Do as you like. I don't care"

How about that. Do I look like someone who lack the least bit of care now? Kukuku.

After she finished reading my reply. She then giggled.

He didn't say I shouldn't. What a dishonest delinquent.

She took my words as "I don't care but I don't mind if you come".

She thought I was just being dishonest with myself and actually wanted her to come by not stopping her.

She gave me the note again. Written under my answer, a new question was being asked and it says "What class is next?"

It was Mocha-san's way of making small talks.

This is exiting. This is the first time I tried exchange notes with someone during class. I want to keep it going.

I simply kept it short and answered "P.E."

The note came back again. "You can ask me anything. Don't worry, I wont expose your secret(trespassing)"

I looked at her and she gave me a thumbs up with her eyes sparkling with of purest intentions.

Oh, yeah... She already knows my secret identity. [The hood for the assassin role]

Remembering that she already knows. Might as well use this to my advantage on becoming the perfect side character.

She already knows so I don't think it would hurt too much if I asked for her opinion.

I hand her the note. "Do you think I look like the perfect side character in an anime?"

She looked at me, analized my appearance and thought about every interaction that happened between us, from the we met until now which started just earlier this morning.
[Conclusion: A hot delinquent male lead.]

She gave me her reply and what she wrote was.

["Not the slightest"] You're the perfect character for a male lead role.

Eh...?!

Reading her response. I placed my hand on my chin in thought.

So Phase two is a failure huh...

If she responded so blunt and harsh like that, it could only mean the second phase of being a generic character was totally not befitting for a side character which is the one role I'm trying to polish.

I guess it's time to commence phase three of being a generic character.

I think it's time for [Operation BETA] commence.
