A Snippet (Completed)

Chapter 1

So, another story set in a high school setting. It may be too common, but screw it, we may get tired of it, but we keep on taking it all.

Hi, I'm Andrei Cruz. Of course, a harem highschool protagonist.

Wait no, I'm just a high school protag. Not gonna have a harem mah dudes.

Alright, let's set the scene.

I'm currently standing on the school field, and I hear someone shouting and running towards me.

"ANDREIIIII!!!"

That brown haired blob of a female chasing me is Kimi Anderson.

A generic name. Of course.

She stopped behind me.

"ANDREI, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR 3 HOURS, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ALSO, WHERE'S JEFFERY?!"

Alright, time to make excuses.

First, confuse the target.

"You're not talking to me right now. I've ran too fast and what you're talking to right now is my after image."

"H-huh?"

Second, leave the target perplexed with shock.

"LOOK! I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU ALREADY!"

"W-what?" Kimi turned in confusion.

Third, EXECUTE ACTION!

"NOW, JEFFERY!"

A close friend of mine, Jeffery Santos, a school hearthrob, came out of the bushes with a large piece of cloth, enough to cover my entire body.

Yeah, I managed to get the school hearthrob to do stuff like this. Without anyone looking of course.

He ran sideways, temporarily covering me from Kimi's sight.

Then I ran away.

As Jeffery's cloth clears up Kimi's view as he gets farther, I was already at the other side of the field.

Heh, easy.

"OH YEAH! I'M THE LEADER! I CAN GRADE YOU GUYS HOWEVER I WANT!"

...

I didn't take another step. I turned to Jeffery, and he did the same thing.

"W-Wait.. Kimi--"

"ALRIGHT, IT'S FINE, GUYS. JUST RUN AWAY IF YOU'D LIKE TO. I'M JUST GONNA GO BACK, AND SEE WHAT I CAN GRADE YOU TWO!"

Kimi turned away and went back to the classroom.

Crap!

Jeffery and I ran towards the classroom.

"Alright, what can I do to help?" I looked at Kimi.

"Help? Well, we've been working on it for hours, so I guess a little help won't do. I need you to take the last part of this project and finish it with Jeffery."

"Actually, I've been helping since you started, Kimi. I had the biggest contributions in this project." Jeffery interrupted.

Are you serious.

"Oh right! I guess this one's all on you, Andrei."

"WHY?! Why leave all the work to me?"

"You want me to tell the teacher you had the least contribution in the group? The one who just got carried by us? The one who didnt't do much?"

"ALRIGHT! I'll do it then."

"Ookaay!" I then heard Kimi laugh in mischief.

What she said somehow triggered me to work on this.

Kimi's actually not like this as long as it's not about school.

I went home late because of this project.

But hey Kimi was with me so that's cool.

The next day arrived.

Alright, the group project is being checked by our teacher.

...

Wait, what?!

The part I did for the project was the only thing important and will be checked?!

What did the others do then?!

So basically, I did everything myself?!

"98."

AND WE HAD THE HIGHEST SCORE?!

I turned to Kimi.

She showed me a devious smile.

The class ended. I left the room with Jeffery and Kimi.

I also heard girls squealing as Jeffery steps out.

"You know I could've complained to the teacher and have him give me all the points." I glared at Kimi.

"Yeah. And I trust you not to." Kimi faced me back.

"What is your basis that I won't?"

"We know each other . I'd say we know each other too much!"

"Yeah but these are school matters though."

"Fair point. But I guess I just trusted you at that moment. Do you want me to pay you back later?"

"If you lower your score the next quiz then it's fine."

"NEVER."

"Pay me later then."

Kimi smiled and nodded.

Jeffery can't even bother talking to us in these moments because he's busy talking to random girls.

More like explaining why he can't date them for the thousandth time.

We finally went out to eat lunch after watching Jeffery take hundreds of pictures with hundreds of girls.

I still can't believe how this guy manages to live a life with all this fame.

After eating, we stayed at the canteen a little more.

Jeffery bolted up and looked at us with stress.

"WE HAVE A QUIZ AFTER LUNCH! AND I HAVEN'T STUDIED YET!" Jeffery slammed the table.

"Oh yeah, cool." I said, not turning my head away from my phone.

"Nice." Kimi responded, also not turning her head from my phone.

"HOW ARE YOU THAT CALM! IT WILL BE A LONG TEST!"

Kimi turned to him and confidently said,

"I mean, we BOTH are the highest ranking students in academics. I guess studying is something unneccessary."

"That's pretty confident of you. I'll wait till you complain to me that you forgot that thing you read days ago which caused you to have a single mistake, Ms. Bookworm." I smirked at Kimi.

"SHUT UP! IN THIS QUIZ WILL BE EASY!"

"Get a low score. That'll be enough as payment."

"I TOLD YOU I'LL PAY FOR THAT LATER!"

Kimi then took out a book and studied with Jeffery.

"Heh, "I guess studying is unneccessary." I mockingly said.

"SHUT UP! IN THIS QUIZ, YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"

"Heh, yeah, let's see about that."

Kimi gives me a menacing glare as I return her with a devious smirk.
