"Hey! Ayanokoji! Come here will ya?" Someone loud yelled my name.
A couple of my classmates were playing card games in the back and it just so happens that I've been called over.
"What is it?" I reply hastily.
They had two packs of cards, both were identical as possibly purchased at the same time.
There were as well Chess pieces and chips.
Gambling I suppose.
The guy who called me earlier is someone I haven't met before, but knew who he was.
Mamoto Kai, one of the popular guys in the school.
Despite his handsome looks and tall height, he was known as a playboy and often was seen bullying under class men.
"You see, our school is having a festival next week. It consists of a gambling game, a relay race, and so on. We've been creating a team and want to know if you're in?"
Joining Mamoto's team has many benefits, but the gyarus in the class often hang out with their group, so if I wanted my plan to succeed, I would need to fight against them.
"I'm sorry Mamoto, but I cannot join your team" I responded.
"Eh?"
Mamoto made a bewildered face, not comprehending my response, and started panicking immediately.
"Wait wait wait! Nobody just declines my offer! You-"
"But that is my choice."
The eyes of all my classmates were on us now,. Whispering could be heard all around.
The team could be any size but I would need a minimum of 5. I already have 1 person in mind.
"Hey, Hirata, do you mind if we create a team?"
"What!?"
"Huh? Um, sure, we could create a team. But are you sure you don't want to join their team?"
There is no going back now. I continue to pursue my options.
"Yes. I'm certain."
"You can't do that!"
"You-"
Mamoto suddenly grabs me by the collar, but releases immediately once Miya Setana entered the room with her group.
It would make sense if one side or the other got their bullying habits from each other.
"What's going on here?" Miya asked.
"This man!" Mamoto yells, "just rejected my offer to join my team!"
"Ehhhh? Aw, is that too much for a baby like you to handle?" She teases.
Moving her hand from her waist and up her torso, the boy is left gaped.
Miya pushes his body to his seat before noticing me.
She switches her attention quickly with a devious smile on her face.
"Maybe this Ikeman wants to play hard to get aye? Fine then, whoever's team wins gets my upmost cooperation" she announces.
Mamoto was surprised, but gained his confidence.
"Hehe, that's right! I'll win, just watch!" He shouts and walks out the door leaving the items on the plastered table.
If I remember correctly, the objective of the game is to win all the queens by combining cards and the other chess pieces together.
It was essentially outnumbering the other.
