I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#08 Plans Are Discourse Candidates
Tuesday has come, we present the results of our work on human civilization that we were working on at that time.
“And that's how people come together,”
“all presentations from our group, thank you for your attention!” The girl explained our material densely and clearly.
“...”
The classroom atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
PROK
Someone started clapping.
PROK PROK PROK PROK PROK PROK
Followed by another round of applause, the class was suddenly full of applause.
“Thank you, Love,”
“You and your group are welcome to sit.” Said the teacher.
...
We walked to our seats.
“It turns out she's smart too yes.”
...
...
...
When the break came, we ate together in the cafeteria.
“So great presentation, friends!” Tino.
“Yes, yes, it's up to you.” My new voice brought food.
“I'm so proud of you, Love!” Again, Tino exclaimed, he seemed to be very happy.
“Hmm... somehow I want to take a vacation..” Said Ivi while stirring her food.
“Huh? I didn't hear wrong? Obviously impossible, you said a male friend should not go to your house, what else if you go out of town with a male friend? Surely your mother will ban.” Tino with a ketus.
“Who wants to go out of town with you? I'm just asking for Love.” Reply Ivi with ketus as well.
“Umm... Ivi, that's a good idea, how about the four of us vacation out of town?” The girl's proposal.
“I refused it!” I interrupted their conversation, while I was eating.
“You remember? The girl lost her steps during the holidays, and her former friends died from it. What if it happens to us?”
“Razox! Don't be so to Love, pity him.” Ivi hugged the girl.
“It is impossible for that to happen to us.” Tino.
“So, Love, where do we want to vacation? And when?” Ask Ivi softly.
Though the girl's expression did not change, she kept smiling.
“How about to the beach?” Tino.
“Don't go to the beach, Love can't swim, you don't know?” Ivi.
“Nothing, to the beach should not be able to swim, many other things we can do there.” Say the girl.
“Alright... if that's what you want.”.
“Then when do we go there?” Ask Ivi.
“Holiday of the semester.” Answer Tino.
“Eh? This semester's holiday? It was too long, now it's still the second week!” My complaint.
“Then when?”
“This week.”
“You crazy?! We're having a lot of tasks to complete this week.” Complain Tino.
“Huft, my suggestion no one accepted, just ignore me.” My complaint.
“How about the nearest long holiday?” The girl's proposal.
“Iya, but when?”
“If I see on the calendar, it does not exist, but he said there will be a holiday a week later, we can use that time for holidays.” The girl's proposal.
“Hmm... Do you know from whom?”
“There is in our class chat group, you don't know?”
“Iya? I didn't notice it.” Tino immediately took his phone in his pants pocket.
...
“True, it turns out next week there is!”
“Then we collect funds from now.” Ivi.
“Wow, I'm not a rich kid, I can't raise a lot of money in a week.” My complaint.
“Don't worry, Razox, I'll cover the transportation costs. We'll also be a joint venture for the lodging fee as well. Maybe I'll be dominant, but that's okay.” Say the girl well.
“...”
“Actually this girl who, anyway?”
“Alright, I agree..”
“... if you don't mind.”
“Of course not, anything for my friend.”
“...”
“Razox!”
There was a voice calling my name.
I looked at the origin of that sound.
That person is Kevin, my classmate.
“Razox!”
He was close and now he was standing next to me.
“What?”
“Uhh... that... are you still opening your consulting services? I want a consultation with you later in the afternoon.” He said very excitedly.
“No.” Answer me briefly.
“Eh?? Wh why?? Is it because I'm your classmate? That's why you don't want.”
“No, not because of that, it's just that I don't want.”
“Huh, alright, maybe tomorrow.”
“Bye.” Kevin left while waving his hand at me.
“...”
“Razox, why are you suddenly like that?” Ask Tino.
“You didn't do the consultation also yesterday.” Further.
“Come, Razox, you must keep the spirit.” The girl seemed to encourage me.
“Then you want to stop in the beginning?” Ask Diviana.
"Don't because yesterday.” Think Tino.
“Uhh... I really did not expect that my consultation would be like this..”.

Flashback...
Razox and Tino were eating their lunch in class at recess.
“Razox, you have activities?” Ask Tino.
“Looks like I have an exkul exercise later.” Answer Razox.
...
...
...
They eat quietly.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Some people enter the class at the same time.
“I first!”
“I first!”
“Soaring!”
It looks like the girls are scrambling to get into class, they are huddled at the automatic door.
One of them escaped the crush and ran straight away...
... towards Razox.
“Eh?”
“What are you called Razox?!” Ask the girl.
“I-iya.” Razox nodded slowly.
“Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Tasla from the X-4! Greetings!”
“I-iyaa..”
“Hey, hey, why are you here?! The first one to come here is me, move aside.” A girl who was seen huddling pushed Tasla.
“Hai, Razox.” Greet the girl gently.
“My name is Rani, I'm from the same class as Claudia, my goal here is-”
“Hei! Move aside! I should have come first!” A girl smaller than Rani comes pushing Rani from the presence of Razox.
“Include, I'm Anggya from, you must be Razox.”
“...” Razox is confused.
All the girls came straight for Razox.
“A-what's going on??” Razox asked who was scared.
“My goal to come here is to consult you.” Rani.
“Rumor says that consultation with you will directly get solution.” Connect Tasla.
“You know Claudia? He confided last week to me about his relationship. I've given him a solution, but my solution didn't work.” Further.
“Because of that, we came here! I want to consult with you, maybe you can find me a mate!” Rani Seru.
“I am too!” Anggya.
“...” Razox nodded with a spoon in front of her mouth.
Tino looked at Razox and tried to understand what was going on.
“Hey, hey, didn't you guys see us?” Tino stood up straight from her chair.
“Sorry yes, Razox is not wanting to be disturbed, come back another time.” Tino immediately walked towards them and led them to come out.
“...” Razox is still silent and gaping.
“Razox, they're gone.” Tino said as she walked back to her seat.
Razox just nodded and stayed gaping.
“Te-thank you..”
End of flashback.
---
“Yaa.. I know that's why you don't want to open a consultation now.” Tino.
“Already, Razox, no need to think about.” Say the girl.
“Uhh... I don't think about it, it's just that I'm afraid it happens again..”.
“...”
“You know? My goal is to prevent people at this school from becoming depressed and ending their lives through ‘Depression Door’,”
“but people are misguided because seeing the solution I gave to Claudia makes the relationship better.”
“While I'm not a matchmaking agency.”
“I gave the solution it comes from, whereas I did not understand the way the relationship works at all.”
BUCK
I got upset and hit the table.
“AAARRRGGHH!!! Why did this happen to me??!!”
I screamed in the cafeteria until people looked at me in confusion.
“He is not the one who opens consulting services at this school? The hell time he himself stress?” Whisper someone too loud, until I can hear it.
“Uhh..”.
“Please call Kevin.” My speech.
“Huh?” Tino was confused to hear my request.
“Kevin!!” Shouted Tino.
Kevin, who was still in the cafeteria and eating, looked up at Tino and approached her.
“Adwa apwa?” Kevin asked with his mouth still full of food.
“Alright, you can consult me today.” I said in a lethargic tone.
“Eh?!” Everyone was shocked to hear my words.
“But before, I want to ask.”
“Bwby.”
“You want to consult about what?”
“...”
Before answering my question, Kevin chewed the food in his mouth and swallowed it, it seemed like the answer would be long.
“So it's about my friendship, my friendship is fine since yesterday—”
“Stop there.” I interrupted his unfinished words.
I thought, it's gonna be long.
“Alright, I accept it, meet me after school later.”
“We ‘kan classmate, obviously I directly met you.”
“Oh, I forgot about that.”
“Thank you, Razox.”
Kevin just left us, he didn't continue eating.
“Hey, friends, earlier ‘kan we are talking about our vacation plans.” Sela Ivi's.
“Lanjutin dong!”
“...”
“Alright, where was it?” Ask Tino.
“...”
Everyone was remembering while looking up.
“Oh yes!” The girl exclaimed.
“I bear all transportation costs, you guys stay joint for lodging costs.”
“Hmm... What do we want to ride?” Ask Tino.
“Car, I will ask my uncle to lend him his car.” Answer the girl.
“Mobile? Who's driving? I can't drive a car.”
“Pamanku.”
“Eh? Is it not a hassle?” Ivi looks doubtful.
“Take it easy, my uncle is very nice kok.”
“Alright, later I will find a place to stay that has a good view.” Tino.
TING
The bell rang, indicating that the break was over, we went back to class.
---
We studied as usual until the school day came.
TING
“I will wait for you at the stop as usual.” Tino.
Tino left the class with the others.
“...”
I was alone in class, he said Kevin met me right here, where is he?
BEEPING
“Razox!”
Therehewas.
“Sorry, I went to the toilet.”
Kevin walked right towards me.
“I instantly start yes..”
“Wait,”
“can I listen to your story outside? I'm a little bored in this class.”
“Of course.”
...
We went out of class and to the school park.
“Well, Here seems better.”
We sat on an empty bench in the school garden.
“Alright, so like this..”.
Kevin started telling me, hopefully I'm interested in solving the problem.
“My best friend..”.
“... betray me.”
“Hmm... why can?”
“He snatched my gebetan.”
I want to go home.
“So, yesterday I stalked my target social media account girl, I scroll down. And I saw my best friend in one of his pictures.”.
Without me telling her, she continued her story, even though I had put on an uninterested face.
“... I saw a photo of two different hands holding each other! And the caption has the name of my best friend! Obviously it's my best friend!”
“...”
“Since a few days ago, I have never seen them close together, even I doubt that they know each other. Out of curiosity I asked my best friend, and he replied that he did not know doi.”
“...”
So bored, I looked the other way.
Kevin keeps raving even though I don't listen to him, he doesn't seem to know.
“...”
Hold still...
...
I saw something, just passing by, rather a person, he was not wearing a Platinum High School uniform, but his clothes were all black.
“Kevin, stop for a moment.”
“Eh?”
I stood up and approached the figure, he was so fast walking, that I lost him, but I kept chasing him, I seemed familiar with the figure.
Yes, I've seen it on CCTV footage, could it be the same person who had plucked the duct tape back then?
I saw him go into the library.
“Hah?”
I just realized, he entered without an access card, why?
I followed him into the library.
BEEPING
When I entered the library, I did not see the figure, I only saw the library guard who was tidying up his books.
“Hm? What do you want to do?” Ask the library guard.
I am confused by this situation.
“...”
“Why shut up? Hurry home! This place will close.”
“Uhh... alright.”
I'm straight out of the library.
“...”
I went back to Kevin thinking about it.
“Where are you?” Ask Kevin.
“I'm new from toilet.”
“Hah? Men's toilet ‘kan is there, there it's women's toilet.” Said Kevin while pointing at me coming.
“Eh?” I was immediately confused to hear it, he realized that I was lying.
“Ti-no, I just rotate, to make it further.”
“Ohh so, I don't think you want to hear my story, so you're stalling.”
“No! That's not what I mean!”
“Then for what?”
“No special reason, I just want to rotate.”
“Continue your story, where was it?”
“Well, so dong.”
“Not that I doubt our friendship, it's just why..”.
Kevin continued his unimportant story, I obviously didn't listen to him, I was still thinking about that figure, and why could the library guard directly appear when I entered.
“Eh?!”
I just realized something.
If the library's gonna close, why isn't he coming out?
“Uhh.”
Maybe the place is in the library...
It's probable...
