Chapter 2: V1C1:The Bestfriend

Yamamura Kokusai High School.A standard private school.There's nothing special here but it was doing its role of being a private school.Forty students each class and six class each grade level.Doing a simple math,there are a total of seven hundred twenty students who are attending this school.

I'm a first year highschool student here.A pretty normal boy you could find anywhere.I will not describe myself any further but instead,let's focus on the weather right now.

Today is Monday.In the middle of September.I think this month is included in rainy season but fortunately the weather today is pleasant.

It was a little bit cloudy but the sunlight is still visible outside which is a good sign.So far, there are no hints for heavy rainfall.

The morning class just ended and it was time now for afternoon break.I picked up my lunch under the desk.I opened the lid,said first "itadakimasu" before eating.It just some sort of fried fish and chicken and some vegetables.There's nothing special with it.

After finishing my lunch food,I brought back the utensil inside the box.I realized that I didn't have water on me so I decided to buy some in the canteen.

I prepared my wallet and go outside the classroom.When I reached the canteen,someone called me.

"Yo,Satoru.Finally buying a lunch food on the canteen?."

"Nothing like that.I will just buy a water."

"Hmmm.I see.Okay,since it was rare for me to bump into you on this place,let me treat you.Also you can pick whatever you want aside from a bottle of water.I will pay for that."

"Nah.Don't worry.I'm not that poor.And I will just buy a water.I can at least afford that with my allowance."

"Eh?.Just because I will treat you for once doesn't mean you are a poor man,Satoru."

"Well that's right,Kawakami."

"So you don't want a dessert after eating a heavy lunch?."

I thought the conversation ended there but it seems like he was still insisting for his generousity.I guess I will just accept his offer.

"An ice cream,Kawakami."

"Oh?.Just like I expected.At the end,you will not be able resist this once in a lifetime-like event."

"Well,I can't reject an offer from my friend."

"You still need a water right?."

"Yeah."

"For the icecream.In a cone or in a cup?."

"In a cup,please."

"All right.I will just also go with that.Wait for me a bit here, Satoru."

After that,he go towards the canteen to buy those things.

Daisuke Kawakami is a classmate and friend of mine.I become his friend since the first month of the school year starts.He is the one who approach me first and we noticed we are getting along to each other as the time goes by.

But that was actually a mystery. Afterall,compared to me,he was a good-looking man man.A clean face,good hairstyle, smooth skin and a little bit  taller than me.I heard that there are some girls,especially from the same grade level,confessed their love to him but he didn't accept any of them.So far,he still doesn't have a girlfriend,as far as I know.I was a little bit surprised because afterall,he was one of the most popular students in the school.

Going back to the mystery,I thought him being friendly to me has some sort of ulterior motive.But the more I talked to him,I realized his treatment to me is geniune.There is no malice on it.

While in the process of describing my friend,he finally came back,bringing a pair of a bottle and an ice cream cup.

"Here,Satoru."

I received the goods.I drank first a half of the water then proceed to the icecream.I opened the lid,scoop one from it and eat.

"You're going back now on classroom,Kawakami?." I asked.

"Yeah.And you?."

"Also the same."

After that,we both decided to walked together while eating our foods.

"Thank you very much.I will immediately bring this kindness back to you when the right time comes."

"Well if that's the case then how about use my first name on addressing me?."

"Eh?."

"Hmm.You look a little bit suprised,Satoru."

"I mean you are worried about that?."

"No really.It just that I'm addressing you with your first name and it feels weird that you are still calling me with my last name."

"If that's the case,to make things look fair,just address with my last name."

"No.That was impossible.Or should I say,your last name sounds weird."

"You're right."

My last name-Harakiri sounds suicidal.It was really a strange name.That's why some of my classmates often called me with my first name,which is something I wouldn't mind.

"That aside,I want to bring back your generousity in a more convincing way,Kawakami.I feel like calling you by first name is not enough for that." I said.

"I see.Then I will not force you anymore,Satoru."

Thanks goodness he didn't push any further.

The conversation ended there.We continue on our walk,in silence.After I finished eating the ice cream,I put the cup on the trash bin.Kawakami also do the same.

When we arrived at the classroom,we go back to our resvective seats.There,I heard a series of conversation from my classamtes.

"Oi,oi.Did you heard?.That a popular second year male student confessed to our transferee classmate?."

"I heard that.The popular guy rejected though."

"What!?.And why?."

"Dunno.I was also surprised,no."

"Eh?.You're joking right?.There's no way that one of the most popular guy in this school will fall in love to that gloomy girl right?."

"No,no.I'm serious bro."

"Well if you will think about it,Mishitsu-san is actually a cute girl.It's just that...."

"That what?."

"I think she was already aware of that fact but she just want to hide it for some reason."

"So maybe that's the reason why she was wearing a glasses."

"You're telling me that if she groom herself a little bit,she was actually a hot chick?."

"My guts is telling me that,bro."

"Guts you say.It seems like you are watching her closely in the past month,bro."

"Are you also perhaps trying to confessed to her someday?."

"You idiot.How did you come with that conclusion?.You could call it men intuition,okay?.Men intuition."

After that last statement,the four boys laughed to each other.

Hmmm.What's her full name again?.Hmm.Ah,Haruka Mishitsu.She transferred in this school last month.The reason for that was never mention.It seems like they want to keep it in private.Not my care though.

The boys earlier almost already describe her.

She was wearing a glasses.A height that is of course smaller than me.A fairly good white skin.And the face.Hmmm.Not too overly good but not really bad.Fairly enough.But I can at least say she have blue eyes. eyes.Yeah,slightly blue eyes. Laslty,a shoulder-length hair.

And maybe it was true that if  she groomed herself a little bit, her beauty will be showacase. I'm not really sure though.

For personality,I noticed that she doesn't really interacting to other students not unless it was an important thing to talked about.That also means she haven't talk to me and vice versa.A lone wolf,you could say.

"Hey,Satoru.You probably already heard the news about Mishitsu-san right?."

Kawakami approached me and suddenly interrupted me from my thoughts.He was holding a book,which is I didn't know exaclty what kind is it.

"It was already obvious.That it become a hot topic to our classmates by just looking at them right now."

I don't really need to ask that news.Evesdropping to the conversation from some poeple is already enough to know it.

The atmosphere was still okay not until me and Kawakami came back here.So it was probably safe to say that the confession event happen while I'm eating my lunch and go towards the canteen.

"Well it really become a trending topic because a second year popular student was involve.What's more,that guy was rejected by Mishitsu-san."

"It seems like most people was surprised that he got rejected.But for me,that fact was already an expected thing to happen.Afterall,a couple between a second year male student and a first year female student doesn't really suits well in my eyes."

"Ho.Are you perhaps a romanticist,Satoru?."

"That is just my opinion.You probably get what I'm trying to say right,Kawakami?."

"Joke aside,I got it."

I admit that I didn't know the whole story but about those two but knowing Mishitsu-san personality,she was the type who would not immediately accept a confession,especially from someone who is in different grade level.

"By the way,since we talked about that transferee student,do you have interest to her,Kawakami?."

"Oh.That was an unexpected question coming from you,Satoru."

"I'm just a little curious."

But he is right.That kind of question is not something I usually ask to him.

"No.Not really.So far,I'm not interested on getting a girlfriend,yet."

"Yet heh."

"That's the reason why I'm not accepting a confession from someone right?."

"You're right."

"How about you?.Any interest?."

"I have the same answer as you,Kawakami."

The only difference is that no one confessed their feelings to me since the school year starts.Not that I'm expecting one though.

"Anyways,the real reason why I approach you here."

"Real reason?."

"You said that you will immediately pay back my kindness when the right time comes no?."

"That is..right."

The topic about Mishitsu-san was immediately changed into something related to his generousity he gave to me in the canteen earlier.

"How about you return this book in the library for me?."

So that's the reason huh.

He gave me the book.I looked on the front cover of it.There are two man standing in the cover.One is wearing a glasses while the other seems like wearing a mask.That was my interpretation if I'm not being mistaken.

Based on what was written here,I'm sure the title of this book is "The Hollow Man".In the bottom part,you could see the name "John Dickson Carr".That was sure the name of the author.

"A novel huh.What is the genre?."

"A detective-fiction book,Satoru."

"I didn't know your are reading this kind of book,Kawakami."

"No,no.Of course,I'm not the one who read that book.In the first place,I'm not really interested on novels."

"Then who is it?."

"It was my older brother."

"I see."

Well I'm haven't meet his older brother since he was not studying in this school.So I can't really describe him.Afterall,he was already a college student.

What's more,he didn't still visit this school,which was already expected since college students are usually the busy people.

But it was first time hearing that his older brother likes  these kinds of books.A new fact was learned today.

"What is the course again of your brother?."

"He wants to become a lawyer, Satoru."

"Ah.Now it all make sense now."

"Hmm.What did you mean?.

"Well it just that maybe that's the reason why he was reading mystery novels."

"Is that so?."

I'm not sure if wanting to read mystery books and to become a lawyer are really connected to each other but it was somehow.Yeah,somehow.

"Your brother aside,you could just return this with yourself right?." I asked.

"Well you're right.But I don't want to go the library.It was too far from here afterall."

"Is that so?."

"What's more,I'm sure you will not reject this time my request right?."

He hit a bullseye.

I looked at the wall clock.We still thirty minutes before lunch break ends.I picked up the book and stand up from my chair.

"I'm sure you will encounter good things today,Satoru."

"What did you mean?."

He didn't answer me and instead,he just gave me a slight smile.

After his vague statement to me,I finally went outside the classroom.At the end,I didn't manage to know what he mean by that.
