Chapter 16: Throwback Memories of Araki

Araki's PoV

Later on that day, I didn't go to school. Mom have already left the house to inform everybody about forgetting me. It's not like I don't care for them anymore, but it is more like moving on from those happy and fun times that I spent with them.

And there are reasons why I wanted them to move on from that...

Sure it's rude to not tell them myself, but it is what I think is for the best. And believe me, if I were to go there right now, I won't be able to escape that place.

After thinking about what I should do before tomorrow's date( not the actual date ), I've decided to go and have some little reunion with some people.

I mean, it's been a while.

Riko, Hajime... better be ready.

----

So after taking some bus rides, Keikyoin's flag was visibly seen from here where I stood. The building was huge. Three, in fact, and that doesn't include the inner court and such.

And for not getting other people's attention too much, I wore a simple chocolate designed tee shirt, a pair of chocolate brown boots, summer shorts that is grey in color. I didn't forget to brought a cap and tied my hair into a ponytail.

Now I'm unrecognizable!

I wore black shades just in case.

I checked my wrist watch.
"Time's nine in the morning, it's review time for one hour. I better hurry." I marched my way and went inside the building.

Keikyoin is a school of freedom. Not just because they let unknown people walk inside the entrance gate for free, that doesn't mean you are allowed to go wherever as you like.

Its strict policy about not getting a sixty percent average or below is far more secured than the entrance fee.
As long as you are far above that grade, nothing could go wrong. But if you did earn yourself a sixty below, that's bye-bye yesterday for you.

Exams are quickly passed down to each students the day after the one day exam. And just because I got myself a seventy doesn't mean I'm one of the smart-asses around Keikyoin.

I stumbled upon a student, not so quite familiar to me as we apologize in syncronize. "Sorry!"

"Er... N-No, I should be the one who should- Wait, Koutaru?" With questioning look that I sent to him, I didn't recognize it sooner that it was Hajime.

It was the 5th Genius; Hajime Yuushio, also the most adorable guy on campus. And one of my friends, I laughed apologically. "It's been a while, Hajime. How're 'ya?"

"Woah, at first I thought it was a transfer student from abroad but it was only the one and only Koutaru Araki... You didn't bother telling us that you're actually a girl, huh?"

We talk about random stuffs, we reach the end of the hallway here on the first floor, at the end of the hallway there is a staircase which leads to the second floor.

Keikyoin's uniform was never formal but still, it's my taste. A simple white short sleeved button-up and a red and black checkered skirt for girls and plain dark red ones for boys. Its neck ties are all simple plain red for girls but for boys they don't need one.

"So, this is my stop. If you're still going to look around, Riko is at the inner court practicing his serves. You'll see him there, he won't go anywhere where there is a court, you know. See 'ya!" As he bid farewell, I asked one thing.

"Before you go, Hajime, could you tell- I mean, I just want your opinion on this one. What do you think if one person tries to help everyone but that could also break them emotionally and that it also concerns about saving the world?"
