𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟬𝟬𝟭 - hate the game, not the player

Your eyes narrowed as you gazed above the three game cards in your hand, [ e/c ] iris staring at the red ones of Kazuha who tilted his head upwards, his expression not giving away any of his thoughts as he drew one of his own cards, placing it on the table in front of you and changing it with a heart seven.

You felt the stares of the bystanders on you, everyone silent and drawn in by the tension of the game as then a sly smirk was drawn on your lips.

"Bridge!" Smashing the game cards at the table, you exclaimed your victory as Kazuha then stared at you dumbfounded.

"Brid— Wha— [ y/n ] do you even know how this game works?" He asked, placing his own cards down.

"Of course, you need to collect cards of the same rank" you pointed at the cards you laid on the table while Kazuha let out a sigh.

"That's canasta"

"I thought we were playing poker?"

A lot of sighs could be heard as the male opposite of you let his head drop to the wooden surface of your school desk, your classmates who had watched your match — of whatever game you were supposed to play — went to their own seats in the classroom again or left, till only Yoimiya and Ayaka were left standing at your side.

"I'm pretty sure you were playing Rummy" Yoimiya commented as you collected the cards again.

"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that was blackjack..." Ayaka muttered, sitting on the chair she had pulled towards you beforehand as you just shrugged your shoulders.

That was till Kazuha arose from death. "It was Schwimmen... we were playing Schwimmen" he said as you took off the card that was sticking to his forehead and mixed it together with the others again.

"Next time you should just explain the rules", you said, trying not to mess up at mixing ,"then maybe it wouldn't end like this"

Truth to be told, the poor boy tried to explain it at least four times but the light switch in your brain went off the second he came to the part where you needed to calculate and count how many points you had on hand.

"There will be no next time" as patient as Kazuha was, this was even too much for him. Though, that was what he said the last three times as well and yet here he sat, playing again just for the same outcome as you just sheepishly laughed.

"Yeah... sorry about that" you said, feeling a bit bad for your friend to which he just smiled and said to not worry. "Anyways, break is almost over, wanna get something from the vending machine real quick?"

Ayaka was quick to agree as well as Kazuha. Yoimiya on the other hand declined the offer and went to do her homework that was, well, due till next lesson.

Leaving the classroom with the remaining two, the hallways were crowded with students as always as you tried to avoid running against another person, making your way outside to where the vending machine was placed.
