Chapter 5: Waa Does Not Dream of a Poor Boy

Despite what Kouji was expecting, changing classes on the second day of school here for him wasn't that bad. The real bad thing for him was now he was stuck sitting next to Waa in class.

He partially felt bad for Anastasia, since now the spot next to her was empty once more. He also felt bad because he'd much rather sit next to her, than this idiot next to him right now.

"…" She was doing it again. This was the fourth time, and it was barely an hour into class.

"Hey!" He gave her a swift chop on the top of her head, jolting her back awake.

"Huh?! Why do you keep doing that?" She glared at him. "I was just about to be confessed to."

"Please don't fall asleep in class." He talked back to her, not bothering to face her. Lucky for him, they were at the back of class. So the teacher didn't really notice them. No wonder she always dozed off so much.

"I know, but it's so hard." She whined, stretching herself across the desk. This was really distracting to him. Kouji had no clue how the headmistress expected him to not only raise these girls' grades, while also keeping his up to satisfactory levels. Paying attention to class and keeping an eye over to her. This was more than what any high school boy should ever have to deal with.

"Just pay attention to the teacher, this will be over soon..." He put a hand over his face. Kouji was barely able to keep his eyes open himself. Slowly, it felt like his body was slipping away from consciousness.

The teachers words were blurring out. Nothing was entering his brain, the darkness almost consumed him until something happened.

"Bang!" A yell screamed into his ears. Adding to that, a smash shook his desk. Kouji was jolted from his desk, falling flat onto the ground.

"What? What did I miss?!" He rapidly turned his head around, thinking that this was some attack. Instead, the laughter made him realize the truth of what happened.

"Hahaha!" Waa was barely able to keep herself on her seat as she was laughing at him.

"Why you…" He growled at her.

"Arisawa, Enokida!" The teacher yelled at them. "Can the two of you please keep it down back there."

"S-sorry." He quickly returned to his seat. Putting a hand over his mouth, he could feel the increasing heat of going through what just happened. Waa was still full of herself from what she just did. Not caring about what the teacher said to them.

That scare kept him on high alert. There was no more dozing off from either of them anymore and class was able to move on as normal. Soon enough, it was time for lunch.

"That's really your lunch?" She asked him as he pulled it out. It was just half a bag of bread crusts. "My breakfast had better nutrition than that."

"Well I just so happen to think that this is really tasty." He lied, taking a bite of it. This wasn't going to really fill him up, but the other half had to be saved for another day. The only way to get any extra flavor to this was the small packet of mayo he brought with him.

"You can enjoy that." She took out her lunch. Which wasn't really much more than his. A simple apple and banana. "I'll just eat something that can actually be called lunch."

"If that's it, you have a really poor definition of lunch." Not that he was one to talk.

"Aside from the fact that it's a lot healthier than yours." She countered. "It's not like I have any time to make a real bento."

"You would if you got out of bed at a reasonable time." With this short time spent on talking. He was already done with his meal.

"Whatever." She peeled open the banana and took a bite. "Why are you even still here? You don't have to keep me awake during lunch."

"I don't have to, but I also don't really have anywhere else to go." He told her, leaning back in his chair for a little rest himself.

"What about that Russian girl? Aren't you friends?"

"We're not that close." He said. "Now that I think about it, I've probably spent more time with you."

"Well aren't I special." She responded sarcastically. "Must be pretty boring to be the only boy here." Waa noted pretty much all of the girls were avoiding him. That was to be expected given everything surrounding him.

"I don't know if boring is the right word." This was his second day, and the things he had to deal with were nothing compared to any average school student. "What about you? Doesn't seem like you hang with anyone else."

"That's because I don't have any friends." She rested her head down to the table. Closing her eyes. "Everyone here is so lame."

"Kouji! There you are." A girl walked into the classroom they were in. It was Anastasia. "I was looking all over for you." She told him.

"So much for getting any sleep." Waa brought herself back up to watch out this scene.

"Right, sorry." He replied. "I'm just doing some of my tutor duties."

"Tutors have strange tasks for their work." She thought about the ones back in Russia. That difference between him and them was day and night. "But where were you this morning? I went to your house and saw that you already left. Then I got worried when I did not see you in class."

"I see this is a rather one-sided relationship." Waa made fun of him. "Don't you think leaving her in the dark was a bit mean?"

"I'm sorry about that." He explained. "I didn't think you would get worried for me. Plus I don't have a way of contacting you if anything happens."

"That is a problem." Anastasia sulked.

"Why don't you two use Rine?" Waa offered. "It's a messaging app, that pretty popular around here." She explained this for Anastasia's sake, but it was nice because Kouji never heard of it himself.

"Yes, we could exchange contact with each other!" Anastasia leaped in joy from that idea.

"I'd love to." He responded. "But I don't have a phone."

"You don't have a phone?" Waa looked at him with deadpan eyes, thinking that he was lying.

"I really don't." That was the truth. Not only was he rather strapped for cash. It's not like there was anyone he wanted to contact with anyway.

"Fine. I guess I have no choice. I'll lend you one then." Kouji wasn't expecting to be offered something like that from her. Especially not without a catch.

"And what do I have to do then?" Waa put her hand under her chin and pretended to think for a moment. She snapped her fingers when she came up with it.

"You have to come to my house every morning and walk with me to school."

"What? But isn't that already what I'm-"

"You don't have to worry about waking me up. I promise from now on, I'll come to school on time. I won't even fall asleep in class either." This rather sudden change of heart wasn't what Kouji would expect from her, not that it was unwelcome.

"But, I would like to walk to school with him." Anastasia contested.

"You're free to come with him." Waa told her. "So what you do you think, Arisawa?" He thought about it for a moment. It would certainly fix the problem he was told to fix. However, that also meant suffering with this girl's teasing.

"If you keep your word, then fine." He accepted. Though getting a phone was kind of nice. He understood that it wouldn't be under any plan. So using any messaging was going to require an internet connection, severely limiting its usefulness.

"Great. Swing by tomorrow and I'll give you an old one my family's got lying around." She laid back in her chair with a smile. "Guess that also means you don't have to be stuck in my class anymore either."

"Thank goodness, I can go back." Kouji would much rather have Anastasia sitting by his side over this girl. "Well, I'm gonna use the bathroom before class starts again."

"Have fun." She said in a singsong tone.

"I'm not… Never mind." He got up from his chair and left the two of them.

"Um… Enokida." There was something bothering Anastasia. "I thought that you did not like him." While she may not know this girl very well. The way the two interacting last time didn't sound like she'd want to spend more time with him.

"I don't." Was the answer to that question. "But, he definitely made my morning more interesting."

"Interesting?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"Heh, yeah." Waa chuckled, closing her eyes. "Hanging with that dude. Isn't all that bad."


Chapter 6: I Challenge You

"Then I challenge you to a duel!"

Why exactly was Kouji Arisawa, the only boy in an all-girls school, challenging Teru Wakiyama, the toughest girl in said school? Well, it all began during their second break meeting.

"Yo, what's up." Teru walked into the room assigned for them to do their study sessions. She didn't care that she was very late for this meeting. "Just got held up with some things."

"You look like an awful mess." Himawari commented on the bandages placed across her face. "I assume you got into yet another fight."

"Fight?" Kouji asked. "I'm surprised that you're still here?"

"Nah, what the teachers don't know won't hurt them." Except if what he read from her file was true. Then they did know about her extracurricular activity.

"As your tutor, I'm going to have to ask that you don't get into any more fights." He knew that if this kept up, she'd eventually have to get kicked out from this school. Having one of his students fail was definitely going to do the same to him.

"And as your student, I'm gonna tell you to go screw off." This girl was being defiant towards him, he was going to have to be a way to get her to stop this.

"I'm surprised someone like you cares that much." Himawari told him.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, you kind of look like a delinquent yourself." Waa pointed at his hair.

"Just because I'm blonde, doesn't mean I'm some troublemaker." Not anymore at least. Kouji was quite a bother to others back in his younger days. It wasn't until his last year in junior year that he had a change of heart and worked hard in his studies.

"Your face... is kind of scary too." Yuma continued on.

"I do not understand what you are all talking about." Anastasia finished up her first piece of homework. "I think that he looks like a nice person."

"Of course you would say that." Himawari countered. "I'm sure that where you're from, he looks normal. In Japan though, he stands out quite a bit. Not in a good way either."

"Can everyone please get back to work." Kouji turned strict on them. "And you better get working to make up for lost time, Wakiyama." Teru was the one he had to go hardest on. Her fighting, that was going to have to be something he nipped in the bud as fast as possible.

"Yeah, yeah. I hear you just fine." She ripped out her homework, almost tearing it. Getting this group back on track, their work got done in no time. Things went by rather quickly, studying was over. Once again, he met with the headmistress to discuss the progress he was making.

"I hear that Enokida actually has made it to school on time these past couple of days." She praised him. This was something that over the past month, countless attempts were made. Yet failed all the same. "She's also not fallen in sleep during class either."

"It's no big deal." It actually was, considering what he has to go through with now during the mornings. "I don't know if I should say this, but-"

"Teru Wakiyama got into another fight, correct?"

"So you already know? Then how come something hasn't been done about that?"

"That girl is rather headstrong." She pulled out Teru's files. "Most of the time, anyone that tries to stop her, has failed. Usually they found themselves rather hurt in the process." That wasn't really filling him with any feelings of confidence here.

"Of course, I'm sure you want me to take care of it." Chances are, he shouldn't just go and best her up. That would get him into a mess of trouble.

"I'm certain that with your background, you can handle it." That statement worried him. How much did she know about him? "Anyway, go and finish up school. You should try and enjoy yourself." They two separated and as time passed. School came to an end.

"So, how's the phone been treating you?" Waa asked Kouji, as they were getting their school shoes put away for the day.

"It's fine, I guess." Lucky for him, she was kind enough to lend him the password to the school's wifi. That gave him another place where he could use it, other than the apartment's free wifi at his house.

"Well then how about as payment, you smell my shoe?" She held up one of them to his face. His face contorted in disgust, as she burst out laughing. "Heh, just kidding."

"I am here now." Anastasia took care of her stuff and ran up to the two. "So, we are heading home now?" As per his agreement, Kouji walked out of the school building with both of the girls. However, this walk home wasn't going to be completed as he expected.

"What are you doing here, you punk!" Teru was holding someone by their collar. Actually, this was another boy. Kouji recognized the school uniform immediately.

"Wakiyama, stop it!" Running in between these two, the attempted assault was broken up. Just in time to prevent any regrettable actions. "What's going on here? Why are you-"

"I caught this pervert trying to peep on us." She pointed at him, defending herself. "He had a pen and notebook, drawing things down."

"K-Kouji, is that you?" While arguing with Teru, he was interrupted by the voice of the boy he just saved. For just a single moment, he regretted doing so. "It is you!"

"H-hey, what are you doing?" The boy latched onto him in a hug. This was pretty embarrassing with all these girls staring at him.

"My, I didn't realize that you were on the other team." Waa made fun of this sight.

"It's… Not… Like that!" Finally, he pushed the grapple hold on him. Sending the boy flying away. "His name's Moku Osaki, and while he's a bit of a perv. I'm sure he meant no harm to anyone here."

"You're friends with that freak?" Teru yelled at him, then stomped on Moku as he laid on the ground.

"We're not friends." Kouji corrected. "I'm pretty much the only person that puts up with this guy's antics." Back at his old school. The two sat right next to each. Since he swore he'd avoid trouble, he just did his best to ignore this strange individual.

"I knew it." Moku got back on his feet. "I knew the rumors were true."

"The rumors?"

"That there was a boy in this all-girls school." He pointed to Kouji's outfit, being that it matched the girls. Along with the fact that he was coming out of this school. "When you transferred out. I knew that the boy just had to be you, so I came here to get proof."

"But I do not know if drawing it would prove that to anyone." Anastasia pointed out the flaw with his plan. From what Kouji knew, this boy was closer to the girls' intelligence, than his own.

"Well, I'm an artist. So when I saw an all-girls school for the first time. I just couldn't resist drawing it for reference." He showed them his notebook and what he had drawn out.

"Wow that is good." Anastasia scanned over the paper. "Hey look, I see Wakiyama!" She pointed over to one of the figures drawn. It certainly couldn't be mistaken for anyone else. That short hair and skateboard proved it.

"Geez… I'm not that cute." She disagreed with the way she was portrayed on paper.

What is all this ruckus?" After hearing the yelling, Himawari finally made her way to source of it. She wasn't that concerned at the idea of Teru getting into a fight, but when she saw another boy. That got her riled up. "And why is this boy here?"

"Apparently he's one of Arisawa's friends." Teru told her.

"I already said that he isn't my friend." He replied through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry it took me so long." Yuma was apparently following Himawari, but she lagged very far behind. "You… Dropped this." She handed a bag to her.

"Thank you." She expressed her gratitude. "At least there's one person here that has some manners."

"You know, you shouldn't just jump to beating people up." Kouji scolded Teru. "It's one thing with other delinquents, but come on. Just think about the consequences for once.

"Why should you care about what I do?" She turned her rage towards him. "I'll hurt anyone that tries to cross me, and that includes you to." This was getting nowhere for him.

"You leave me no choice." He didn't want to do it. But from what Isako said to him earlier, it was probably okay to use his prior experience against her. "Then I challenge you to a duel!"

"A duel huh?" That was getting her excited. Just right into his trap. "Just gotta let you know that I'm stronger than I look." Teru was getting full of her self. Her relaxed stance showing no fear.

"How barbaric." Himarwari commented on what was unfolding before her eyes. "We don't live in feudal times."

"I'm not asking for a fight. I'm pretty sure I'd win easily." Kouji was no stranger to fighting himself. Someone like her probably wouldn't be that bad. "But, that would just prove that violence is the answer."

"Then, what is this duel you are asking for?" Anastasia asked.

"Simple." Kouji and Teru stood across from each other. Staring the other down in intimidation. "How about a game of chicken?"
