"Welcome to the Ship Life Club!" Ricca was so enthusiastic about this scenario.
She was so bubbly, jumping all over us. There was no sign of her energy being drained.
On my way to this clubroom was torture for my legs. I didn't really enjoy the whole trip but it was worth the reward, a beautiful surprise. It was an actual ship, right on seawater. The clubroom is in the cockpit, I think that's what you call it. I went out to the dock and WOW. Just imagine the impecable view you can see by standing here. Fresh air and the breeze gently touching your skin and your hair going all over the place. Lucky for Ricca herself, her hair is locked in a ball because her hair is super curly.
"Are you enjoying the view?" There was a male's voice behind me. I looked behind me and there was a boy who had messy hair but it looked good on him, a sailor's uniform with a really nice blue hue on it, and his hands were in his pockets.
"Are you part of the Ship Life Club?" I asked because I wanted to.
"Yes I am. The only male who can take things seriously in this club," He sounded hesitant in answering and had a slight annoyed look on his face. "I'm guessing Ricca brought you here."
"Yes she did." I had no idea what else to say but that.
"Get inside please. I hoping we could start introducing one another." He walked away. He didn't even tell me his name!
"Jeez, okay." Well he didn't hear me saying that but I followed him inside.
When I went back inside I saw new faces. I don't even know them but at least they look friendly.
"Okay! Okay! Let's start our introduction!" Ricca being cheery just like the usual. "Welcome to the Ship Life Club! One of the most important clubs for the Science Department of the Highschool Department of this school!"
Everybody started clapping to Ricca's very short introduction. Wait, she's still going to talk...
"So let's get straight into intoducing one another. I'll go first and my name is Ricca from class 1-20. Next here is..."
"The name is Paul and I'm from class 2-15." Everyone was staring at him for his staightforwardness.
"Um, I forgot to mention that I'm the current leader and captain of this club and he is the Co-captian and manager of this club," Ricca was scratching her face. "Let's move on to the other members!"
"Hi, my name is Hannah and I'm the person who explains the safety measures and fun facts about the ship and the sea itself. Think of me as the tour guide of some sort. And oh! I'm from class 1-8."
"Yo~! I'm Joey from class 2-17 and I clean up this ship and arrange all the files stored in here. I'm more like a housekeeper in this club. Heheh."
"I'm from class 2-17 and my name is Argon. I help the housekeeper and the tourist girl Hannah."
"Herro~ my name is Tae and I help in housekeeping, controls, and catch whatever you can find in the tanks in this ship. I'm also in class 2-17. Heheheh."
"I'm last? Okay. My name is Juan and I'm incharge of the financing in this club. I'm in class 2-15. The Ship Club in also like a tourist destination of some sort or maybe you can call it an aquarium run by teenagers."
Theae people are very interesting to talk to and I wonder if they get paid to do this. It's like their job while they're still studying. Student labor I suppose.
"I'm just gonna ask. Who does the work on your behalf while you're in class?" Celine was very curious about this club.
"People who work here as full timers after they graduate college. They used to be part of this club you know," It seems like Paul knew most of what's going on in this club and it's history.
"Your turn to introduce yourselves newbies!" Ricca's is way to enthusiastic about this.
JanVier went first. "Hi, my name is Jan Vier and I'm from class 1-20 and I hope to be a good friend and help to you all."
"I'm Celine and I'm from class 1-20 just like Jan Vier. I hope to have a great time with you!"
I went last. "I'm Christel and I'm classmates with Jan Vier and Celine. I know I'm going to have a great time with you all and have a great school year with you."
After introducing ourselves everyone stayed in the ship lounge which is actually the entrance to the ship and we drank tea and some coffee. There was also some tasty pastries sitting on the table waiting for it to be eaten.
Ricca leaned closer to me and asked, "Are you convinced now to join my club?"
"I'm still wondering what you guys really do aside from doing serious things that sounds like you are Student-Wokers. What does the club really do when they're doing nothing related to this?" I was sort of convinced but I don't see what I'm aiming for in the club.
"We enjoy the beauty of the sea. We draw it, we compose music out of it, and we also help in school activities that will be held in the ship. We are really busy if you try to watch us work. We even study when it's break time," Ricca had a good answer but I don't think it's enough. "I bet you'll join us to find out your answer."
I nodded while I stared into my tea. I looked at the other members and they we're talking to one another while eating. They enjoyed the moment. Celine looked like she adjusted pretty fast. She's talking to the other members.
"So Chris, Just for me to confirm. Are you going to join the club?"
