Chapter 6: The 'Talk'

Stepping inside the principals office it basically feels like an Arctic zone. I mean, how does he survive this?!

But anyway, upon entrance he immediately sits down on those huge leather chairs behind the desk and in front of those huge windows that are covered with black curtains. Like one of those movie scenes from Men In Black or something....

"Now, Shirogane-san. I know you may be wondering why I asked you to come with me here, and well. Needless to say, the show you put on in the cafeteria clearly proved you are exactly the person for my case..." He started off and laid a brown envelope on his desk as he gestured for me to sit on one of the plush velvet sofas that were on both sides of his desk.

"Um... Sir, by no means of offense to your judgment, however how could you possibly require a new student to help you with a seemingly important case?" I asked politely.

"Ahaha, Shirogane-san this is exactly why I think your perfect for the case. Polite and humble in presence of authority yet your personality shines behind the scenes. Anyways, I suppose I should explain to you the importance of the certain case I have at hand." He gently pushes the brown envelope towards me as I take it and open it. Inside are various papers which I will disclose of the contents later.

"You see...some of our school's clubs haven't been being very productive lately. And I think this is because of the lack of motivation. Now, I would only wish for you to merely supervise the clubs listed down on the first page but as you can see, the drama club has been extremely inactive for the past 6 months now. You can only imagine what kind of lag that would put on the schools ego. So I would like you to organize some event for them to feature in the Winter Festival, which is one day before Winter break so you have an entire 3 months to plan the event and organize it."

Astonished by the responsibility suddenly handed to me I stutter a reply, "S-sir. I hardly think I could ever be capable of doing something so important for the school...and well, organizing an event? For the Winter Festival and most of all for the drama club of all things? I'm not a big of an actor however, but if you really think I am capable of such a duty then I gladly accept."

"Haha! That's it Shirogane-san! I knew you couldn't let me down. Especially after your father left such a big imprint here!" The principal laughs heartily and smiles.

"But...sir I will have to place a minor complication..." I said softly interrupting his joyous laughter.

"Ah yes child, and what would that be?"

"Well...I promised to become the Swim Teams manager for I am good friends with three of the swimmers on the team so I suppose I should just tell them something came up?"

"Ah, no no. You can still be their manager. Its just that they don't usually have many events to go to when it comes to Autumn and Winter. So they have quite a free schedule for the next few months. And I will see to it that you don't overwork yourself!"

"I didn't think you had so much faith in me sir." I said as I stood up and bowed as I exited the room.

Upon shutting the huge dark oak double doors of the principal's office I sighed as I felt my knees give way. This is way too much for my first day.... First there's Wakana-san and Morizono-senpai fighting over me tooth and nail, then all of a sudden the principal pops out of nowhere and tells me to supervise clubs and even make an event??? To be featured in the Winter Festival?! I mean, I'm not one to beat around the bush. I know the Winter Festival is one of the best events of the year when it comes to Samezuka. Everyone looks forward to it. And I don't want to ruin it with my horrible jackass event! And oh! There's also the fact that I. Don't. Do. Drama!!!!!!! I'm gonna fail so miserably at this!!
