132 Fractions 1 (2/2)
I shrugged as I looked forward to going to school. But, even Luke appeared to be surprised from the brief conversation between Ben and I. His mouth slightly opened as if he was going to speak before remembering to close it when he had no words to say.
I didn't know who was inside Ben's fraction, but I didn't care as long as I could escape from the meetings that interrogated me. Before knowing this whole political thing existed, I thought Lucius and Ben were close to each other during social week. It was slightly unexpected on my end to figure out they weren't as close.
Lucius, who was still deliberating on what to do with this new information, decided to end this meeting early. The doors finally opened as I teleported myself back to the dorm room. When I glanced at the clock, I found out I only had thirty minutes before class started. I wasn't going to starve after skipping dinner last night.
”My fraction is having a meeting tomorrow night where you're invited to attend,” Ben told me his fraction's decision.
”Umm, thanks.” I mumbled as I talked while chewing on my food.
I waved to him to leave as I looked around if Luke was in the cafeteria with me. I could just imagine the long lecture if he discovered I spoke with food inside my mouth. But, the decision made by Ben's fraction was fast. Was this really the fraction that was hardest to join?
I could hardly focus on the lessons during class as my mind wavered on the sudden politics news today. Daniel came up to my desk after he noticed I stopped paying any attention to him during homeroom. Allan coughed to warn me to look up, making me drift back into what was happening in the classroom.
”You should continue your lesson,” I pretended I was listening.
”Of course, I would continue if someone paid attention,” Daniel tapped on my desk.
This wasn't the first time this happened. Charles didn't even bother to mock me after he got used to it. But I would definitely be lectured by Luke later on.
”Of course,” I answered while I elegantly smiled each time it happened.
Even Daniel couldn't continue to scold me during class when I remained ignorant. I wasn't interrupting his lesson or creating any discord. Plus, it was especially harder to continue with his disapproval when I acted like a model student.
After Daniel finished with his announcements, I ran out of the classroom to avoid Luke. I didn't feel like going through another intense study session after my brain was dead. Since, I didn't properly look where I was going, I bumped into a high school student on the way and fell onto the ground.
She generously offered me her hand to help me back up. But, noticing that her stuff had fallen onto the ground in the process, I rejected her offer and helped her pick up her possessions. After giving the catalogs with a thin BL comic hidden inside one of them, I walked to my usual café.
