Chapter 283. Another one? (2/2)
“Dude! What’s wrong man? Was the picture I painted too stimulating for you?”
“No, my eyes have been sullied and my ears have been raped. I didn’t need to know how many times you jerked off to her tits. Too much info! You got that? I don’t need to tell Rosa about that, you moron! Did you expect me to tell her, ‘Oh, the girl in question’s tits could make a man jerk off ten times in a week?’ Hah! Is that what you expected me to tell her?”
“Hey, come on man. Chill, dude. Chill. Not so loud.” Jass looked around and let out an awkward laugh when he noticed a few girls’ eyes filled with disgust had been drawn our way. The other guys in the classroom, on the other hand, didn’t care at all.
“Look man, it’s not like you need to tell her that part. That was just between us two bros.”
“I’m not your bro.”
“You’re such a hard ass.”
“Seriously, what do you even like about this girl? She sounds like she’d be a weirdo.”
“What do I like? Do you even need to ask? You can’t figure it out?”
“Of course I do.”
“Her tits.”
“Please go die.”
“She’s wild and looks like she’d be good in bed.”
“Please go die.”
“Come on man, what else can I really say? I haven’t even had a chance to talk to her yet.”
“You should seriously give up. It’s not going to work out. She probably has a boyfriend already or something.”
“If she’s got a boyfriend I just have to steal her from him.”
“You’re a real piece of work.”
“Ever since I saw her, she’s the only thing on my mind. Dude, it might be love at first sight.”
“Isn’t it just lust? You’re just thinking with your dick, aren’t you?”
“No, it’s love. I’m sure of it.”
“Haaaaah. Whatever. I’ll see what I can do.” I’ll ignore it. Yeah. Let’s do that.
“Seriously? Great.”
After that, Jass returned to his seat and lunch came to an end.
The next day in the classroom at lunch.
“Hey, Ran. About my request, has there been any progress on that end?”
Huh? What?
I looked up from the driver’s handbook on my desk. It was Jass again.
Oh, right… Izora…
“None yet. I’m working on it. So can you please be patient?” I’ll just keep postponing it. Hopefully, he’ll end up losing interest in her this way.
“Request?” Rosa questioned curiously. Unlike the day before, Rosa was with me. She was intimately slumped onto my back with her arms over my shoulders and face directly beside mine on my left. Today I was helping her study for the knowledge test next week.
“It’s nothing.”
“Haaaaah. How nice. If only I had a girlfriend who’d do that with me...” Jass muttered.
“Hey Jass, what’s this request you just brought up?”
“Huh? Uh, like Ran said, it’s nothing important.”
“Hmmmm… if it was nothing would you be asking Ran for help with it? Could it be that you still haven’t given up on Alicia?”
“Ugh. No. It’s not her. I’ve given up on her.”
“Oh? Not her~ meaning~ it’s another girl then?” Rosa was sharp.
“No…” Jass awkwardly averted his gaze out the window to the side.
“How suspicious. If it’s not that like you claim, then what could it be?”
“Ah! I just remembered something I have to do. I’ll talk to you later, Ran. I’ve gotta go.” Jass made a quick escape.
That idiot. Why’d he have to come and ask when I kept Rosa around me as Jass repellent? Yesterday I’d offered to study with her today at lunch hoping it would act as Jass repellant. Sadly it hadn’t.
“Hey. Hey. What was that all about, Ran~” Rosa repeatedly poked my right cheek with her right index finger as she asked interrogatively.
“It’s nothing important. Just something stupid as usual.”
“Oh~ something stupid~ it sounds pretty interesting to me though. What is it? Tell me~ tell me~ it’s got me curious now.”
“I’d rather not.”
“What~ you’re keeping secrets from your girlfriend? You can’t trust me?”
“Haaaah. You really want to know that badly?”
“Of course.”
“He’s got the hots for that girl I’ve been trying to hook up with Zale. He saw her when she was talking with Alicia outside the school sometime last week. Now he wants me to use my connection as the boyfriend of Alicia’s best friend to find out about her and potentially meet her.”
“Oh~ that’s quite the predicament. Why not help him out though? Don’t you think it would be pretty funny? They were both competing for Alicia and now you could make them both compete for this girl. If you think about it, Jass could be an effective obstacle to strengthen the relationship between those two.”
“That’d be awful. I’m not going to do that.”
“If you won’t do it, then I will.”
“You should be focusing on the knowledge test, not something like this.”
“Nothing says I can’t do both. Besides, I’ve got plenty of time to cram for it on the weekend.”
“Haaaah. You must be pretty bored.”
“Of course I’m bored, I didn’t get to participate at all last time. And if I’m being honest, I think the better result would be if that girl ended up with Jass rather than that guy.”
“What makes you think that?”
“As I said before, I just really don’t like him. Flaunting his parent’s money around in Alicia’s face to take advantage of her family’s situation and tempt her, I can’t stand that type of guy. I wish he’d end up forever alone.”
“You do realize Jass is only lusting after her.”
“So what? Lust can lead to love.”
“Well, do what you want. I’d rather not get involved with this one. It sounds too messy.”
“Sure. I’ll go right ahead then.”
Somehow, Rosa had taken Jass’s side over mine. I understood Rosa’s stance, but I could only fulfill my side of the contract with Izora. Whoever it was she liked was who I’d help her get with. Helping Jass would be a breach of contract unless she liked him. That was why I couldn’t help him.
Three days later it was Friday. By now, Rosa had already talked to Alicia and convinced her to help her arrange a meeting between Jass and Izora. Well, Ria. The fake name she was going by.
“So her name is Ria. What a nice name,” Jass mused to himself from the seat in front of my desk.
“You’re seriously creeping me out.”
“Hehehe. Your girlfriend is awesome. She actually managed to set something up.”
“She did?” I obviously knew about it already, but I didn’t know the exact details.
“Yeah. She did. I can’t wait. I wish time would go by faster.”
“Well, good for you I guess.”
“Heheh, yeah.”
The stupid infatuated look on his face was disgusting.
“So what exactly is the plan?”
“You were sort of right. Though she doesn’t have a boyfriend there is someone who’s chasing after her. I was pretty shocked when I found out who it was though.”
“Oh? And who’s that?”
“The student council president. First, it was Alicia, now it’s Ria. It seems I’m fated to clash with him. He’s my love rival.”
Wow, I never thought I’d hear such a cliche term come out of someone’s mouth in the real world. I was convinced that particular term was something exclusive to fictional stories.
“How youthful… good luck with that, I guess.”
“Thanks. I’ll definitely succeed this time. I won’t lose to the student council president just because he’s older than me.”
“He’s also got more money than you.”
“Ugh. Forget that. Money isn’t everything.”
“Money makes the world go round. A lot of girls take financial stability into consideration when picking a partner, you know.”
“I may not be as well off in that regard, but it’s not like I’m in poverty. I’m sure it won’t be that big of a factor.”
“If you say so. Just don’t come crying to me when she picks based on who’s got deeper pockets.”
We bickered back and forth over the subject until the bell inevitably rang and lunch was over.
