Chapter 13: Just a normal day!?

“So that’s how it is, Trash.”

“There’s no way that will work! How would that work in the slightest, aren’t you just trying to get me to fulfil your fantasies!?”

“Shut up Trash, I never asked for your opinion.”

“I should have the right to at least voice my opinion!”

“Denied.”

*Thud*

I lightly hit my head on the table.

Working with this girl as an ally is impossible. It makes me feel like I’m just being led around. My opinion has no weight during conversations and all she wants me to do is very perverted things with Claire.

“So, lunch has just started and Claire should be on her way. Are you going to do anything at all with her?”

“Why would I do that during school!?”

“Why should it stop you?”

“Morals! Does anyone in this school have morals!?”

“Hmph.” She stands up from her spot and walks over to me. “Let me show you what having no morals truly is like.”

She grabs the collar of my uniform and lifts me out of my chair.

“Wait a second!” Her face is extremely close to mine, so I instinctively cover my face, “What are you doing if you hate men!?”

“Stop complaining Trash. You should be grateful I am even in the same room as you!”

She lets go of my collar and forces my hands to my side. Why is she so strong… actually, I should start exercising again!

She leans her face towards mine.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing Sarah!? Do you want to be killed!?”

Dominic runs in the room and tackles Sarah to the ground.

“Way to ruin my plan!”

“Plan?” I tilt my head. Suddenly it comes to me, “Ah! Why am I so gullible!? May as well tell me it was written on the god damn ceiling!”

“Calm down Logan.” He stands up and pats my shoulders, “I highly doubt you are to blame. Sarah’s plans are so realistic you will believe them.”

“Well.” Sarah stays on the ground but starts to talk, “The part about becoming allies is still on the table. I just thought I would try one last plan since the opportunity had showed itself.”

I collapse onto the ground.

“Why cruel world… just why?”

“Ugh.” Dominic grunts in frustration, “We don’t have time for this! What on earth were you trying to do anyways Sarah?”

“I was going to kiss Trash as Claire walked in the room to make it seem like he was cheating on her like all men do.”

Dominic walks over to Sarah and helps her off the ground, despite him being the one who put her there.

“Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. What are you talking about when you say allies?”

“Ah,” I stand up and sit back in my chair. “You see, Sarah offered to help me with my people skills, so she suggested that we form an alliance and work together to make Claire happier. I thought it was a good plan, but I really am too naive.”

“Yes Logan, you really have always been easy to trick… but I guess I can help you with this too. You have never been good at talking to others. We will talk about this later. Claire should be here any second.”

As if on cue, Claire enters the room.

“Hello everyone!”

I walk towards Claire after shooting Sarah an agitated glance. You wanted me to be more forward. I’ll be more forward alright!

I walk up and kiss Claire. Her eyes go wide as I kiss her, it wasn’t just a simple kiss on the lips either.

Claire gets really into it forgetting where we were. She starts to hug me.

“Okay. That’s enough. I think you’ve proved your point Logan.” Amy walks in the room behind Claire. “Clearly those two did something to agitate you enough to do that to Claire as soon as she walked in, but that is no reason to forget the time and place. But I guess you can’t be faulted.” She looks to Dominic and Sarah, “You two, come with me for a second.”

Amy turns around and walks out the door after motioning for the two to follow her.

“I guess I got dragged into this again… didn’t I?” Dominic lowers his head as he walks out of the room. Sarah following close behind him, having nothing to say.

Claire looks at me with a red face.

“L-Logan… It’s embarrassing in front of others… I just get too into it when you kiss me.”

“Ah, that is my fault I guess. So, is there a meeting today or are we just eating together again?”

“Just eating… but… while they are getting yelled at… c-could you… k-kiss me a-again?”

“Ah, I guess I could.” I lean in and start to kiss Claire again.

…

So… What am I doing?

I was currently doing calculations for different orders involving the upcoming school festival.

I can’t believe how many people are going to this festival. There are going to be just under 100 different businesses at this event and all of them are doing somewhat different things.

Some vary from regular festival games all the way to a wine tasting tent. Seriously, there is a section of the festival where you have to show your ID to enter. It has varying events going on that are not normally at festivals. However, most of them involve drinking. I hope Claire doesn’t drag me in there.

Drunk Claire is not easy to handle.

“Logan, are you almost done writing the orders? I am getting a lot of antsy businessmen calling me.” Dominic was the only other person in the room at the moment. Claire, Amy and Sarah were out trying to get the businesses set up.

The festival was taking place in the grounds of the school. How large the dimensions of the school really are is unknown to me, but it certainly isn’t small.

“Yeah, I’m working on the final handful of orders. The ID section has been done and you may as well start with the orders and calling.” Why the student council has to do this is because the school will cover 42% of each item, so businesses will send in what they are going to be bringing and the school will give them a cheque with the exact amount on it.

Finding out that amount is my job.

Why they couldn’t just go with 50% of the total is beyond me. The teachers in charge specifically asked me to do it for every individual item.

Maybe they want to try and charge more, or they are creating a scheme in which they sue the school for not refunding them properly.

I was also told by Dominic to reference the values with the actual prices on the market to make sure that the businesses aren’t trying to make a profit off the school.

“Great. I’ll get started on that. Why don’t you go help Claire once you’re done here? You might catch them in the middle of planning your birthday, so I’d be careful.” Dominic grabs the large stack of paper from the Id section of the pile and moves them to his spot.

“Ah, I guess my birthday is coming up soon.”

“Yeah, and someone is looking as depressed as usual about it.”

“Hey, is it really my fault? You of all people should know first-hand how horrible I’ve had it.”

“Yeah, yeah. Get to work so I can go to sleep faster. Some of us have real work to do.”

“Hey, this is real work too.”

“If you can do it in your head within seconds, it is not real work.”

“Whatever, I’m already done. I didn’t have much left to begin with. Make sure you don’t die from lack of sleep. I’d hate to have to take over.”

“Whatever. Get out of here and go have fun.”

“See ya. Try not to die.”

“I’ll do my best.” Dominic has a stressed smile on his face. He is really busy, but if I offered to help him it would only make it worse.

I wonder where Claire could be right now. Ah, doesn’t matter right away, I am tired of wearing this school uniform, it is too uncomfortable. I think I will get changed into something more fun… actually, instead of that. It’s been a while since I’ve done any real exercise. Maybe I should do a run?

That’s too boring. Let’s do some free running instead!

…

I was now wearing some loose fitting clothing and had just finished stretching.

Man, it’s been so long since I’ve done any of this. I’ve seen tones of places that are great for this, but just haven’t had a chance to so it.

Also, the school rules actually encourage students to be active and to use their environment to their advantage. Not a single rule saying I can’t climb all over things.

I did this all the time when I was in junior high. Pretty much any time I went out of my house I would take the shortest path, and that usually meant going over and under various obstacles.

So I guess let’s get started, what’s the worst thing that could happen?

I start to run as soon as I leave my room in the dorms.

I run out to the second level terrace where students occasionally hand out with their assigned staff. It was quiet right now, as most people were in the cafeteria eating their dinner.

I vault the railing and brag the opposite side. I lower myself all the way and kick off the wall, and roll once I hit the ground.

Next stop the main school grounds.

After a light jog to my destination I see the rocks that would be more accurately referred to as boulders lining the area.

I climb up the first 3 meter tall boulder in three steps. I carefully balance myself on the boulder and start top hop from one to the next.

As it is the main school grounds, there are people working to figure out where their spots are and are starting the designs of their locations.

I mostly ignore them as I continue to carefully hop from rock to rock.

Wow, this is tiring. I really am quite out of shape. I do a backflip off the rock to get down to see if I can still do them.

Landed it! Oh, got to roll!

I duck under a wooden beam that had suddenly appear in front me. That was dangerous… well I am in the middle of a temporary construction site.

I run through the school grounds vaulting off various things and climbing others.

“Whew.” I am thoroughly exhausted now. A good run always sets the mind at ease I’ve found.

Now back to my room.

I was about to open the door to the stairs when an idea floated into my mind. If I can jump down from the second floor terrace, there must be a way up without using the stairs.

I jog back outside and look for a way up.

Perfect! Beside the wall around a corner I didn’t see was a rock that was the perfect height to be used as a step before running up the rest of the wall.

I turn around and get a run up to the rock.

I sprint at the rock and get my left foot on top of it and push myself up, I then get my right foot on the wall and push myself higher.

I grab onto the top of the wall which has a space between it and the railing. I pull my legs up and push up and grab the railing that was just a bit higher.

After vaulting over the railing I see a few surprised students just stare at me. What? It’s not something amazing I just did you know. With a bit of practice, anyone could do it.

“Woo!” A couple students start to cheer and clap.

“That was amazing! You should teach us!”

“What!?” I was amazed at the sudden statement from a random student. “Umm…. I don’t know what to say… I was just exercising…”

“Yeah! Teach us!”

“Teach us!”

Several students start to crowd me.

“Come on! We could start a new club!”

“Wait a second guys! This is Logan!”

“The worst of the worst!? He doesn’t look that bad to me!” A female student shouts.

““So cool!”” A couple female students shout.

*Narrator here, we apologize for the inconvenience, but Logan has been broken and I will be taking things from here*

Logan was being crowded by a lot of students when Claire suddenly arrives from the normal entrance to the terrace.

“Stop crowding around my husband!”

“We forgot! We’re sorry!”

All of the students run away at top speed and the terrace empties.

“Logan, are you okay!? I was told that you were doing dangerous things! Father contacted me and… oh. You’re broken again…”

Logan was sitting in a chair with his eyes open being mostly unresponsive.

Claire takes advantage of the situation and kisses Logan. Logan regains his senses as soon as Claire kisses him and he kisses her back.

Thus, another day closes on the school life of our married couple.
