Is My Life Ordinary? - Chapter 129

You know the point when we learn the truth is the moment we realize all this time we’re just deluding ourselves.

Nothing goes as planned, ever so I learned nothing is going to last forever. And that’s how we came to know what betrayal exactly is.

“I must say it was quite something,” she made a remark that many couldn’t even decipher.

“What does she mean by that?”

“I don’t know.”

“I will not say if the results were good or bad but the only thing that I will say is that you are now just a year younger before you reach adulthood so you should now be able to discrete things. It’s not an option. You have to learn it and with this, you might get the hint,” she said in a serious tone.

This wasn’t something these bunch of kids could understand. Well, I am also of similar age to them but I have experienced things they have only seen in movies so it’s obvious that I would be able to understand those words.

“…” the atmosphere was uncomfortable for everyone, except for me.

I was kind of amused by everyone’s expression.

“So here’s the result-” The Homeroom teacher didn’t waste any more of our time and hung the white paper she was holding till now in front of the whole class.

…

Frowned eyes, half-bitten lips, and wavery eyes, either of these things could be noticed on these people. Isn’t this spectacular scenery?

Now they know what it means to cooperate with someone you didn’t wish for.

“Tsk!”

“Hey, did you just click your tongue at me?!”

“And what if I did?! I didn’t wish for you to sit me…! It was the last thing I hoped for!”

“Huh!? I also didn’t wish for it you know! You were also my last option…!”

“Hey, hey. Why don’t you settle down first…?” Alex said as he jumped in between, “It’s not like we can change the outcome now, can we? Let’s just accept it…”

“Alex, didn’t you write my name on your first priority…?”

“A I-I-”

“Anna, you didn’t write my name…?”

“Peter, you also choose someone else…?” This one is by Andrew. Peter mentioned him earlier.

“Wait, you aren’t happy sitting with me, Alex?” Alex’s partner questioned him and his frowned eyebrows with a slightly curled up skin on the forehead wasn’t a sign of happiness.

Let me briefly describe what actually happened here a few moments earlier.

Absolutely no one, literally no one got to sit with their first priority. Also, the ironic thing is that the last choice they wrote is the ones who they got to sit with, and most didn’t get to sit with either of their choices.

So all were disappointed. And they also got to know that they have just been delusional about their relationship. In reality, the ones they thought were close to weren’t actually the same case for the other person.

And that’s how this led to this situation. Not one, not two but the entire class was in an uproar. Also, the teacher just left the classroom after revealing the results and closed the door on her way out.

Well for me, I am sitting in the middle back with-

“Anna, are you okay with sitting with him?!” It was Anna’s friend who yelled so loud that the entire class was looking at her.

“… I…” she seemed hesitant.

“Anna… don’t tell me you choose to sit with HIM?!” her friend again yelled. Everyone could see the irritation in her eyes.

On the other hand, Anna was trembling as her legs were shaking frantically, well that’s given in this situation.

She couldn’t focus on her friend and her eyes desperately were moving here and there hoping someone would jump in to help her. And her last hope was Peter as she was constantly looking at him but he couldn’t also say anything.

Or he won’t say anything.

Also, she can’t openly admit it and she can’t deny it. It’s getting interesting.

“I wonder who chose to sit you…? I am pretty you didn’t get to sit your first choice either so why dig into others’ matter? Just worry about yourself,” I said.

“H-Huh!? I didn’t ask you, so just shut the hell up…!” she exclaimed.

“I would have if you were yelling at someone else but unfortunately you are screaming at someone who is sitting beside me and seeing her this isn’t making ‘comfortable’ so just think before you speak,” I glared at her.

“Anna, tell me you aren’t okay with sitting with HIM!” She completely ignored me.

“Emiliya… I…”

“Anna?!” that girl, is she worried about her friend? I am guessing she chose Anna for her priority and if not then why would she be so desperate?

“Y-You…! Don’t tell me you forced her to s-sit with you…!” she didn’t yield back.

“Y-Yeah… he could have done that…”

“He doesn’t have anyone so he must have forced her…”

Hearing that Anna was even more agitated. But that doesn’t matter now.

“Oh really? And when do you think I forced her to do this?” I asked her.

“T-That’s…” she couldn’t say.

“Let me finish that sentence for you,” I said, “This announcement was announced at the ending hours of school so after that, I am pretty sure I went directly home and in case you deny it, you tell me one thing then. Were you tailing me?”

“W-What! That’s not tr-”

“I am not finished,” I stopped her, “You can’t deny the fact that I left the classroom and after attending the second year this long even as ‘introvert’ as me could guess that you and Anna are somewhat- Close. So it’s possible you both went home together.”

“Where are you getting at…?!” she screeched. Her high-pitched voice vibrated inside my head.

“Don’t yell I am getting there,” I said, “If you both went home together how is it possible for me to have a talk with her? Hmm? Also even if it’s after you both went separate ways how is that possible that I contacted her? I don’t know where she lives.”

“Y-You could have tailed us or her!” She stood her ground.

“That’s also possible. But imagine a scenario where I try to approach her when she is walking home all alone.”

“…”

“Does she live in a remote area? Not likely. So if I were to even touch her all of a sudden wouldn’t she have made some kind of scream? If that were to happen I wouldn’t be sitting here instead I would be sitting inside a jail cell accused of being attacking HER,” I said.

“…” she tried to say something but while she was comprehending what to do next I had already swept away the ground that she was standing on.

“If you don’t want to get embarrassed more just swallow the defeat and sit down,” I said, “Right now.”

I baited her and it seems like it worked perfectly.

“You-You! Bastard…!” she came charging at and instantly grabbed my colors and tried squeezing them as hard as she could.

“Emiliya! Please s-stop…” Anna exclaimed.

“Just up Anna! I won’t let him bully or threaten him any further…!” Ah, her name is Emiliya.

“Listen to her, Emiliya. If you won’t separate my hand now you might get into trouble later on…” I gave her a warning but it was only loud enough for her to hear.

“Scum! You are doing something I know…!” she exclaimed. Eyebrows in its worst citation ever, teeth crashing against each other.

She then tried pulling me towards her but her fragile hands weren’t strong enough to move me.

*Creak*

“What’s going on here…!” It was the Homeroom teacher.

She paced in our direction and was pretty astounded by the situation she was watching right now.

“Emiliya let go of him right this instant!” she said.

“B-But-”

“I won’t be saying it again!”

“…” she shrugged her hand off me but her glare wasn’t.

“You and I will have a talk with you later. Come with me after the classes are over,” the teacher said in a stern voice.

Emiliya nodded in agreement.

“Rest of you! I can’t believe you were just watching this happen? Couldn’t one of you at least think of stopping them… or reach me out!” She was outraged.

But partially it was her fault also. She knew this wasn’t going to end well and without her presence, it would only worsen.

In rage, she left the room but this time she glared at each and every one. It was a hint that if this were to happen again this won’t end up good for either of them.

“Maybe… Emiliya was overreacting…”

“Yeah…”

“Allen doesn’t even talk so how will he force Anna into doing it…”

“Yeah, I guess even Anna is like us…”

And that’s how it is done.

No one knows what actually happened here but all this was pretty much staged and of course the award goes to Peter and Anna. They played their role pretty nicely.
