Ethan went to school today, feeling ready to take on any obstacle.
And Ethan passed a lot of students, some were talking to each other, others are just walking to school, the sound of chattering filling the air.
Ethan entered his class and immediately sat on his desk, taking out his empty notebook and ripping out a page, folding it more and more until it looked like a paper fortune teller that every kid loves.
Except Ethan used the fortune teller to create a puppet instead, so he drew eyes on it; however, his drawing wasn't the best, so it wasn't asymmetrical. But it was good enough for Ethan.
Minami walked into the class and sat at her desk.
She looked at Ethan and smiled, then back at the board.
After some time, Minami noticed Ethan staring at her, so she just put her head on her desk and hid her blushing face with her arms.
Meanwhile, Ethan was staring at the window that was in Minami's direction; his thoughts were all about plans of what he wanted to do or not.
Minami then notices that his eyes didn't follow her as she hid her face, instead it was locked on to the window.
Thanks to that, she was able to calm down, and lift her head to talk to Ethan.
Minami: "Hey… uhm, are you okay?"
Ethan snaps from his trance and looks at Minami.
Ethan: "Yeah, I am… why?"
minami: "You're staring a whole lot today…"
Ethan: "Just thinking… planning… You know… the usual"
Ethan smiled, his smile was not rare nor common, he only smiled around those he liked and he's close to, Minami saw Ethan's smile and somewhat calmed from her tense state.
Then the teacher walked in, and everyone stopped talking and went back to their seats. The teacher started the lesson, and Ethan was focused(mostly, he was fidgeting around with different stuff).
When it was lunch time, Ethan went to the cafeteria and sat at a table, eating his sandwich, then minami walked to him with her tray of school lunch, it didn't look appetizing at all, the meat was gray, and the mashed potatoes had random chunks of cheese.
But the only thing was different was the chicken sandwich which didn't look bad.
minami: "Hey!"
Ethan: "Yo…"
Minami was oddly happy for some reason, and unfortunately, his friend was absent today, so Ethan was eating alone today.
minami: "So, uh… today I'm home alone, wanna come?"
Ethan: "Hmm?… uh… no thanks… I'm visiting my friend later, you know… check on him…"
And as dense as Ethan was, he didn't know, and he didn't even think of anything romantic as a possibility.
Minami frowned and got up, She took her trey and walked away. Ethan was clueless as to why she got mad, but shrugged it off.
Meanwhile, Minami walked to her friends and sat at their table, groaning.
Minami's friend 1: "What's wrong?"
minami: "That idiot… I hate how he's just so clueless…"
Minami's second friend patted her on the back with a smile.
Minami's friend 2: "Yeah, men are like that sometimes, but your guy is just on a different level."
minami: "I know… it makes me wanna punch him!"
Minami sighed and looked at Ethan with a half-angry glare.
Minami's friend 1: "Remember the last time that happened?"
minami: "yeah, I do… I got sent to the hospital…"
Ethan on the other hand was chilling at his table, he just finished his sandwich, so he looked around and saw that some guys were looking at him with envy and jealousy.
Ethan didn't get it and just got up, stretched a bit while yawning, then walked out the cafeteria to his class, some guys were walking and bumped into Ethan intentionally.
Guy 1: "Watch it, loser!"
Ethan stared at him with a disapproving stare, his face serious and a bit scary.
Guy 2: "Whoa… he's scary…"
Guy 1: "Oh come on, it's just an act, a loser like him won't do crap."
The first guy crossed his arms with a smirk and scoffed.
Guy 3: "But… look at his figure, dude, this guy looks like he exercises."
Ethan: "well… let me be honest… I don't…"
Ethan shrugged, but as soon as he did, the first guy put his hand around Ethan's neck but Ethan removed it with a slightly disgusted face at the horrible smell of sweat.
guy 1: "see? Like I said, just an act!"
Ethan: "You guys done? Let's get it over with, please. I have class to go to."
The first guy tackled Ethan, but Ethan punched him away, and as he was about to attack again, he fell to the ground.
He couldn't move. A familiar voice echoed in Ethan's head.
minami in Ethan's head: "Don't worry, I got them, you gotta calm down sometimes, fighting isn't always the answer…"
minami in her head: "at least when you aren't involved in a fight…"
Minami held out her left hand, and the guys floated upwards.
Minami threw her hand aside, and the guys all flew to the left and into a wall.
Then she said "losers…", all the guys started to scream while holding their heads, like they were keeping their heads from splitting apart.
They were all on the ground, 2 were on their knees, 1 was just lying with his hands on his heads.
From their point of view, the word "losers" was being repeated so many times and in such a loud volume that their head might explode.
Minami: "Don't ever touch him again…"
Minami put her hand down, and they all stopped, they were all panting.
The noises that they heard in their heads were now gone, but they didn't have the power to run, so they nodded in fear.
Minami: "Good."
Minami forgot to remove the muscle relaxation effect she put on Ethan, so all she heard from him was some mumbling.
minami: "Oh, sorry! Here you go!"
Ethan: "Thanks… You didn't have to… Traumatize them…. At least not that much…"
minami: "Oh… sorry!"
Ethan: "Why are you apologizing so much?"
Minami blushed and looked away before walking away.
Meanwhile, Ethan was just looking at her retreating form before walking to his class again.
Strange… he thought, why is she acting like this? Does she like me? NAH! Ofcourse not haha.
Oh well, still don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe just chill on disdorc… maybe.
And so, after school, the whole day went by with Ethan just lazily sitting back at his home.
