Eps. 7. Japan-english

Two twelfth graders were sitting alone in their classrooms following UTS, Brill and Rilly. Their other friends had gone home first.

Sensei Reinny who became their homeroom teacher sat overseeing the Japanese exam and the English exam.

"Sensei's..."

Miss Sherly English maple teacher appears on the doorstep of the classroom.

"When they are done, please tell them to come to the teacher's office, okay? Will wait in there..."

"Wait a minute miss Sher, I have something to tell you..."

Sensei Reinny followed Miss Sherly out of the room.

Brill glanced briefly at their two teachers, while Rilly stared at the listless blank answer paper of his, he knew nothing about English, he was weak in this lesson plus he did not learn a bit.

Brill glanced at Rilly's answer paper, then he rolled out his answer paper.

"I don't speak Japanese..."

Brill whispered as he showed his completed English exam answer paper. Rilly stared doubtfully but Brill quickly swapped the paper in his hand for Rilly's Japanese answer sheet. With her gaze she asked Rilly to immediately take the English exam that was already located on Rilly's desk.

And before Sensei Reinny enters the classroom again Rilly is done copying answers and returns Brill's exam papers. With a gesture Brill replied that he was not finished.

Rilly waits for Brill to finish with a thumping chest, she is afraid that Sensei Reinny will come and find out what they both did. In addition there was a debate because he first interacted with Brill, a figure he observed in silence.

There is no feeling of like he does not dare if about it, just a little curious about the figure of the regent of this area and also his disposition that is so indifferent to anything, indeed he looks very perfect, indeed, the handsome face of a body that is proportionally tall and thin like idol boys on posters that are widely taped in Manda's room.

Like him, Brill never seemed to be close to anyone, either the boys or girls in their class, especially in other classes. The difference, still many who are close to Brill, still try to make friends even though it is always considered bland. Rilly was of course the opposite, no one would want to greet him unless forced to.

After the exam papers were taken Sensei Reinny and Miss Sherly Rilly rushed home, it was already too late, she could imagine what was waiting for her at home.

In the vast empty courtyard, where he used to bypass for the nearest route to Betsy's oma house, a shout rang out in his ear.

"Hey..."

That's Brill's voice. Rilly kept walking quickly, even half-run.

"Hey.. hey..."

The same scream, maybe the guy was with his bodyguard. Rilly noticed the path he was going through.

"Hey..."

The voice was heard again this time so close that Rilly turned his head though he did not feel that he was called with hey, hey.just a curiosity, let alone being chased by the guy.

Rilly finds Brill's sight on her, and no one else is pursued by Brill. Rilly looked up at the sky, no kites breaking. Rilly turned back to face forward and further accelerated his pace.

"Hey... You, we're classmates, Japanese-English?"

Not seeing anyone else in the vast yard full of wild grass, also clue in the phrases 'we are classy' and 'Japan-English' makes Rilly slow down his pace.

Am I what Brill meant? Brill doesn't know my name? We're class okay but Japanese-English? Was it because of the exam?

Rilly hesitated, but he waited further and further to slow his pace. A moment later Brill had already stepped in his footsteps. The path that was not overgrown with weeds is only for one person, until Brill stepped while lifting his feet high through the grass that was as high as his thighs.

"Thank you for that one..."

Brill talk to him. It's weird but the average girl's dream guy at their school actually thanked her and still walked next to her in high strides.

"Thank you for cheating..."

Rilly nibbled on his lower lip, sakiiit.

"Eh. I'm also grateful for the English cheat..."

"Ehh? You're talking normal?"

Brill did not turn his head when he said that sentence, it seems that he enjoys walking his way now. Rilly observed for a moment and was curious about Brill's statement just now.

"meaning?"

Curiosity just popped out.

"You. it turns out that your way of speaking is not what they like to imitate every time they talk to you..."

"Hey..don't be so quick..."

Rilly looked astonished.

"Why?"

"I don't like to walk alone..."

The gaze asked to be read by Rilly, until finally he followed Brill's will.

"Where's your bodyguard?"

Again the question escaped Rilly's lips.

"Still in front of the school, I jumped over the side fence..."

Rilly smiled faintly, still unable to believe that the most popular guy in school was walking alone with her, and the way she spoke was as if they were close friends. A few minutes they walk in silence in the same position, parallel, with the same rhythm of steps.

When Brill was supposed to turn towards the regent's official house, Rilly glanced because Brill did not turn.

Does Brill want to accompany her home or?

Rilly shook his head slowly expelling the trajectory of thought that felt excessive, where it might be like that. Until entering the big road they are still walking side by side. Rilly's down now because on this road cars and people pass by. Rilly looked in Brill's uniform clinging to parts of the weeds.

"Mmm your pants..."

Rilly said quietly, still hesitant and insecure, but again he could not hold his own words, sparking off.

Brill stopped, Rilly only turned his head for a moment and continued his steps, moreover there were some people he knew were staring at the two of them. Of course they know Brill, Brill's face often appears on the streets plastered in billboards with the family of the regent's mother for happy holidays or other things.

"Hey.you... hey..."

Hey hey you, actually Brill doesn't know my name.

With a sad feeling Rilly stopped and turned his head. His gaze caught Brill's index finger pointing at the part that was heavily attached to the petals of wildflowers.

"Clean..."

Ehhhhh?

They stared for a moment, and Brill's gaze seemed to hypnotize Rilly for a moment...

"Clean..."

"Ehh?"

"Clean..."

Three times repeating the same word in the same tone, it sounded a little arrogant. Rilly reluctantly had to touch the part of the guy, even if it was just in his clothes, slowly crouched down and made Brill request.

In his heart, he was used to serving oma Betsy to dirty things, used to serve the wishes of children aunt Ine... a guy who has only been interacting with him for an hour or two is like commanding himself.His heart hurts a little here, but he does it too.

The feeling of a good heart came, perhaps he was outlined to serve people, at least his life was beneficial to others... Rilly smiled faintly, at least once doing something for a regent boy, the coolest guy in his class even at his school. Moreover, he had been kind, even though both were lucky, but it was on Brill's initiative. Think of it as a thank you.

After finishing and making sure no more weeds were stuck, Rilly stood up.

"Had..."

Rilly said and immediately stepped away from Brill. It was invisible in his eyes that the guy was back to line his steps like before. Rilly quickened his pace, his mind reminding him he was already very late coming home.

Before he turned to Betsy's house, a fancy black sedan with a beautiful number, which he recognized as Brill's car sped past him.

Rilly took a breath, for a moment she was excited to interact with Brill, but the look in Brill's eyes she saw last time, her little heart said it wasn't a friendly look. It's just a random event. It is also impossible that Brill considers him a friend, even his name alone is not remembered Brill even though in absent their names sequentially.

In the car, as the car passed by Rilly, Brill caught a glimpse of the girl he had been with for the past few hours... Maybe nothing is extraordinary.
