"And I thought you were a noble person."
"You'll have to excuse me because I really need a girlfriend this year."
A look of surprise appeared on Hotaru's face and then he said;
"Senpai, didn't you have a girlfriend before? I mean, you're handsome enough."
The blonde young man took his time to think and then said;
"I can answer your question with another question. Kohai-kun, is having pretty features enough to attract a female to you?"
Without hesitation, Hotaru replied;
"Based on the society we live in now, I can answer yes."
They were walking in a corridor on the third floor of the school, and next to this corridor there was a wall of medium length. The blond young man stopped walking, then looked at the blue sky and said;
"Actually, I'm looking for something else. To be honest, I'm a little popular with the girls at school. But somehow, that's not what I want."
Hotaru looked at that sky and then said;
"Hmm, I think I can understand what you're trying to say. I'm also looking for something I can't find in just a beautiful girl."
The blonde young man smiled until his white teeth appeared, then he walked towards that wall and put his hand on it saying;
"Kohai-kun, I really hate the relationships that people are in now. I've never had a girlfriend in my life, and I've never had sex with a girl. And that's something I'm proud of, because it's so rare. Maybe what I'm saying is weird isn't it? But I really, really wish my girlfriend would be virgin and a good wife. I'm sorry that I have begun to express my backward thoughts-"
Hotaru interrupted him saying;
"Senpai, it's not a backward thoughts. I think your way of thinking is right. I'm glad I got to talk to you on the first day, it's like a good luck."
The young man laughed and put his arm on Hotaru's shoulders, then said;
"Stop calling me Senpai, I'm Makuru. Just Makuru."
"And I'm not a kohai, it's Hotaru. Just Hotaru."
The blond youth extended his hand to Hotaru and then said;
"So again, nice to meet you, Hotaru-kun."
"Me too, Makuru-kun."
After they shook hands, Makuru directed Hotaru to his class, and he reached to his class without problems.
Hotaru lifted his head up, to find a sign that read "F-1" which was the name of the class he was looking for. But he hesitated a little to open the door.

'First impression is important, I had no interest in meeting new people in the past, but this time it's different. I'll hide what I have to hide, I promise I won't ruin your dreams this time, I'll just be... an ordinary friend'
Hotaru was about to open the door, but someone opened it from the inside.
She was a girl with bright green hair and wore copper-colored glasses. Her features were perfect, and she was not only a pretty girl, but also close to him.
Luckily, Hotaru isn't the kind of person who would remain shocked by something like this.
It's true that his nose was red, but that was only because he was allergic to spring.
It's very difficult to know what he is thinking through his body language or facial expressions. He acted like the girl in front of him was something he used to see every day.
And because he was the same height as that girl, he was looking straight into her eyes. It was as if that girl wasn't looking at Hotaru. He is in front of her, and her eyes look at his eyes, but she does not see him, as if she is looking at something beyond that, as if Hotaru is just a transparent thing.
Hotaru took the first step into the class, which was not the behavior of a gentleman.
What the gentleman would do in this case was to wait for the girl to pass first, and then he would enter again. But Hotaru didn't do that and took the first step for himself, then that girl left the class.
'She's really pretty, but compared to the girl who was giving the speech... She's just on another level.'
Although he does not plan to get along with either of them. However, he was sure that the girl he met in the morning was more beautiful than the one with glasses.
Hotaru finds that the people in the class talk in groups. One group of five people, another of three, and three groups of two people only. Some of the students were sitting without talking to anyone and checking their phones.
'They pretend they're busy with thier phones, just like I always do. It is an appropriate solution, but... There is no absence file on this day, which means that attendance here is not a necessary thing. And yet they are here, they are just looking for friends like me. But they can't take the first step.
What I'm going to do now is something I really don't want to do, but in order to break this gloomy atmosphere, and in order to make getting to know them easy!'
Hotaru put his hands in front of his face and said out loud;
"Two hundred Dollars for whoever brings me the underwear of the girl who just came out."
The class was silent for a few seconds, and everyone was looking at Hotaru without saying a word.
'Now people sitting alone won't feel embarrassed, because I'm the most embarrassed person here. Anyway, they wouldn't be able to do something like that because this is an elite high school. I'll be the pervert for a while but I'll explain to them that I'm not that kind of person later."
Hotaru was walking towards the last seat sinking in his thoughts and looking down, then suddenly someone bumped with him without apologizing.
Hotaru raised his head and found that the class was empty, then he said in a trembling voice;
"You must be kidding me!"
