L Lawliet In COTE

Chapter 2 - Shameless

***The Teachers Lounge**

"Sae Chan!" You're finally here; what took you so long?" The bubbly Hoshinomiya asked Chabashira, who just entered the teacher's lounge. She hugged her behind and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Nothing, or at least I can't really say, but you'll find out soon enough. I have some fascinating characters this year, one being particularly... Insightful." Chabashira said, looking at the ripped paper in her hand. She sighed and rolled her eyes at Hoshinomiya's gesture.

"Oh really? I'm happy for you, Sae Chan! It won't be easy for you, though; my Class B also has a diamond in it." Hoshinomiya said, winking at her.

"Don't think you two are the only ones. My class C has also been blessed with a talent this year," Sakagami interrupted, smirking. "He's a genius, and he'll make sure we surpass all of you."

"Class A is also in good shape. We are packed with talents. It's just a materr of who will take the reigns," Mashima said in a cold and indifferent tone. He ignored Sakagami's challenge and looked at his laptop.

"I think you all will be surprised when you hear what happened in my class D; as long as I can get him to lead the class, I think A-Class is really possible this year," Chabashira said, squeezing her hand while staring at the contract she made with Eru. She felt a surge of pride and frustration at the same time.

***Eru Lawliet**

For such a grand school, the entrance ceremony truly is as dull as you can imagine. Well, at least the student council president seemed interesting. Not only did he look similar to that black-haired girl in my class, but she had the same last name, Suzune Horikita; "Hmmm, I wonder."

I was currently in a convenience store staring at their array of ice cream flavors contemplating what to buy.

"Eru? Is that you?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned my head slightly and saw Ayanokoji.

"Yes, it is; what a coincidence," I said, looking at him with my dark eyes.

Ayanokoji glanced at the front of the store, "They seem to be giving out free items; it seems like your hypothesis on class, and private points was possibly correct."

"It seems that way," I responded, disinterested, once again facing the ice cream. I tilted my head and asked, "Ayanokoji, may I ask you an important question? Do you know the size of the fridge in our dorms?"

Ayanokoji raised an eyebrow. "No, why? Is it important?"

"You see, if I knew the sizes of our fridges, I could estimate the size of our freezers to get an idea of how much ice cream I can fit inside of them, but without that information, I will just have to assume our fridges are small, meaning there isn't much freezer space for ice cream," I explained as I began to put ice cream in my shopping crate.

Ayanokoji looked amused. "You're really serious about this, aren't you?"

"I wouldn't joke about a matter as serious as this, Ayanokoji," I respond after putting the 8 pint-sized containers in my crate. "Are we done here?"

"I guess so. Is that all you are getting?"

"For now, I will get some of the free hygiene products at the front of the store," I said and hunched over the container with free products. I delicately took the necessary products and products and put them in my crate. As I did, the convenience store doors opened.

"I had hoped to avoid encountering the two of you again, but it appears luck is not on my side," Horikita remarks, her annoyed gaze lingering on my basket.
