The AR Gamer Girl «Original story»

Chapter Seventeen

I smiled, but my happy world was broken by the teacher standing next to me. "Lyra." I quickly turned away from the window. "Yes sir?" He looked stern. "Come to the faculty office after school, but before the club activities." D-did I do something wrong ...? "Yes sir." The teacher went back to his desk and I just copied the last of the notes for Zane, until everyone handed the test in. "Everyone take your book." The teacher continued where he had left of the previous day and I just worked on the notes and my own study until class was over.

The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. Zane didn't show up again, but I was sure he'd show up at practice. The lessons finally ended and Nina face-planted on her desk. "I'm tireeeed~!" I chuckled. "I can understand." She pouted and took her stuff together. "You gotta go to the teacher's office right?" I sighed. "Yup ... I don't even know what I did ... You coming?" She smiled. "I'm walking you till there. I have club!" I smiled back. "Sounds great! Let's go." We took our bags and left. We kept talking about some random things, until we parted. I knocked on the office's door and opened the door. "Lyra." I walked over to Mr Teng. "You needed me?" He handed me my test. "Lyra, you scored perfect scores. No matter how many times I looked at it. How did you do it?" I let out a small sigh of relief. "Oh ... I just studied all the material from yesterday. I then revised it this morning quickly, before class started." He looked dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute ... Are you telling me, that you studied your mathe--." "Excuse me sir, sorry for interrupting, but I think you misunderstood. I studied all the material from yesterday. Also the other lessons." He let my sentence sink in for a second. "Wait, so you studied all your lessons from yesterday and revised them all this morning?" "Yes sir." I answered quickly. He took a second until he spoke. "Excuse me for thinking different of you Lyra. It seems you are one of the most, or the most devoted student I know. Could you explain to me why?" I smiled. "Of course. As a teacher you know of my job. For that I go to morning and evening practices. That leaves me not a lot of time to study, so I study the material from the day in my club, between breaks or at home, then revise it in the morning to make sure it sticks. That makes me able to keep up with this school work, the other work and my job." He smiled at me. "Keep up the good work Lyra. I also saw you were taking double notes, could I ask for who?" I chuckled slightly. "For Zane-kun ..." He looked surprised. "Oh ... Well, if you can't help him, then no one can! See you in class Lyra, sorry for holding you up." He smiled and I went to my club room.

Arriving I sat down and began making some posters. They just said that I was here for any needing help on work for school. They could come for any problem from any year. I'll also offer tea! In the mean time, I'd go out and buy a tea set for everyone, since I of course didn't have one now. I was happy with the posters and left them on the desk. I'd put them up before school starts, so everyone could see it through the day and if they needed, they could ask for permission to come late for their club and come to me. After I put them away, I started studying and began to study in advance. If I wanted to help more people, I needed to know more.

My timer went off. 15 minutes. I got up, packed my stuff together and left to the gym. I set myself back against the same tree like the day before and began to watch my entertainment, the girls. After 8 minutes passed the girls left again. After everyone was gone, I walked in. "Hell--?!" Suddenly a guy was standing before me and I jumped back with a small scream. Jumping back made me stumble and I felt myself falling, until someone grabbed my wrist. "Look out!" He helped me up and I put my hand on my chest and took a deep breath. "Phew ... That was close ... Thanks ...?" He let go of my hand and smiled. "Call me Will." "Thanks Will-kun." I smiled. "Did you need something? I need to go change ..." I remembered why I was there and blinked a few times. "Oh! I'm sorry!"

I quickly took the black notebook out of my bag. "Could you give this to Zane-kun for me please? I'm sorry to bother, but I'd rather not barge in like yesterday ..." I said a little embarrassed about what I had done. He chuckled and took the notebook. "It's fine, what's your name?" He came closer and I didn't really know what to do, until I backed up at the wall, Will putting his arm besides my head. "I-umm-I mean-!" He came very close to my face and I was just shocked, frozen solid. "Back off Will." Will glanced back. Zane was standing a few meters behind with crossed arms and an annoyed face. "Hm~?" He made a sly look, while I was slowly but surely stepping sideways to the exit. Before I actually made it, he turned to me. "Running sweetheart?" I stiffened, frozen solid again. He planted a kiss on my cheek and they went from flushed to strawberry red. Will walked towards Zane, giving him his notebook and whispering something in his ear. In the mean time I just ran out, not wanting to be there anymore. What had just happened?!
