Chapitre 2: Names
"Everyone, can you please listen to me for a moment?" A guy with good appearance stood up asking for the class's attention. His voice carried a charismatic feel to them. I wouldn't be surprised if he will end up becoming a class representative.
"Starting today, we're all going to be classmates. Therefore, I think it'd be good for us to introduce ourselves and become friends as soon as possible. We still have some time until the entrance ceremony. What do you say?" The class representative guy said.
"Agreed! After all, we still don't know a thing about each other, not even our names." Someone shouted.
After the ice had broken, the previously hesitant students began to speak.
"My name's Hirata Yousuke. Back in junior high, lots of people called me Yousuke. Feel free to use my first name! I guess my hobby is sports in general, but I especially like soccer. I'm planning on playing soccer here, too. Nice to meet you!" Class representative Hirata effortlessly introduced himself to the class.
He seems to be really upbeat and easy to get along with. And he'd spoken about his love for soccer too! His level of popularity must've increased two, no, maybe four times. Why, the girl seated next to Hirata had hearts in her eyes!
Honestly I was jealous of his popularity with the girls. I had asked girls many times in my junior high years if I could even snag myself a girlfriend, but they say they couldn't date anyone even more girly than themselves.
'The hell do you mean more girly than you? I'm a full fledged guy okay?! I genuinely and wholeheartedly love girls okay?! I could even show you my collection of porn magazines and my favorite AV actresses I did myself with!'
Just remembering that day would only infuriate me, so I forced myself to forget about my embarrassing past.
"My name is Inogashira…Kokoro. Um, my hobby is sewing. I'm pretty good at knitting. I-It's nice to meet you all."
Inogashira seems a sweet girl. With her hobbies it reeks of a grandma in the countryside. I bet she would be a good wife candidate.
"I'm Yamauchi Haruki. I competed in table tennis during elementary school, and in junior high I was the ace player on our baseball team. I was number four. I got hurt during the inter-high school championships, though, and I'm undergoing rehab right now. Nice to meet you."
I seriously wonder how this guy could spout all this lies with a straight face. I don't know why but I just had felt the urge I want to punch his face so bad.
The next one is what really caught my attention.
"My name is Kushida Kikyou. None of my friends from junior high made it to this school, so I'm alone here. I'd like to get to know all of your names and faces right away and become friends as soon as possible!"
An angel. There's nothing more I could describe her with. She's purely an angel with pure innocent existence away from the corruption of this world.
"Well then, next up is…"
As Hirata looked encouragingly toward the next student, that student glared back. His hair was dyed a fiery red. He both looked and sounded like a delinquent.
"What, are we a bunch of little kids or something? I don't need to introduce myself. People who want to do that can go ahead. Just leave me out of it."
"I can't force you to introduce yourself, of course. However, I don't think that getting along with your classmates is a bad thing. If I've made you uncomfortable, I apologize."
When Hirata bowed his head, some of the girls glared at the guy with red hair.
"Isn't it fine to introduce yourself?" one of them snapped.
"Yeah, yeah!"
As I'd expected, the pretty-boy soccer star had captured most of the girls' hearts in the blink of an eye. However, half of the male students started to look angry, probably out of jealousy. That includes me of course.
"Shut it. I don't care. I didn't come here to make friends."
The guy with red hair got up from his seat. It seemed he had no intention of getting to know anyone. Several other students followed suit and left the classroom together.
"They're not a bad bunch. It's my fault. I was being selfish and made people do this."
"No way. You didn't do anything wrong, Hirata-kun. Let's just leave those guys be, okay?"
Although some people is against at the idea of introductions, the students who remained were happy to continue. In the end, things wrapped up in a rather ordinary fashion.
"I'm Ike Kanji. I love girls, and I hate pretty boys. I'm currently in the market for a new girlfriend. It's nice to meet you! All the better if you're a cutie or a beauty!"
It was difficult to tell if he was joking or not. At the very least, the girls looked at him with revulsion.
"Wow. You are so cool, Ike-kun." one girl said, in a completely emotionless voice. Of course, her statement was 1000 percent pure sarcasm.
"Seriously? Seriously? Oh, man. I mean, I thought that I wasn't bad or anything, but…heh heh." Apparently, Ike thought that she was being serious. He blushed. Instantly, the girls started to laugh.
"Oh, wow. He's cute, huh, everyone? He's looking for a girlfriend!"
'Dude, she's teasing you.' I shook my head by this guy's gullibleness. He didn't seem like a bad guy, though.
"Excuse me, can you introduce yourself?" Hirata asked.
"Hmph. Fine."
He smirked like an aristocrat, displaying his arrogant attitude.
"My name is Kouenji Rokusuke. As the sole male heir to the Kouenji conglomerate group, I will soon be tasked with carrying Japan into the future. I sincerely look forward to making your acquaintance, ladies."
He aimed his introduction solely at the opposite sex, rather than the entire class. After hearing that he was rich, some of the girls looked at him with sparkling eyes, while others regarded Kouenji as if he were nothing more than a weirdo.
That was only natural. Even I myself born in a wealthy family wouldn't flaunt my family background.
After a few more students introduced themselves, it was finally my turn.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Amami Hoshi. Despite how I look, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm one thousand percent a guy."
I glared at everyone's eyes looking at me.
"That's all." After that short introduction I sat back on my seat.
After me another student introduced himself.
"Um. Well, my name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. And, uh, I don't really have any special skills or anything. I'll do my best to get along with all of you. It's, uh, nice to meet you."
Ayanokouji... Ayanokouji... Is he related to some top politicians or the business world perhaps? I had to say that name is familiar, I think I invested a certain project about a school for abandoned children or something like that...
"It's nice to meet you, Ayanokouji-kun. I always want to be friends with everyone, just like you. Let's both do our best, okay?" Hirata responded with a refreshing smile.
And with that ends our introductions. Later on an announcement came from the classroom speakers. It's telling us that we should gather in the gym building for the entrance ceremony.
