Julian had now time to think about what he was going to say, he decided to go first to the video game group, but then during the lunch break, it was time.
He was a bit nervous, but he knew that they are probably going to be even more nervous than him, he goes in the class, Nakamura wasn't there anyways, one of the classmates from the video game group called to Julian "Nakamura was instantly going out of class after class was over!"
He goes up to them and asks a bit shy "Nakamura was telling me that you know much about video games, right, ähhm, I would like to also start, you guys have any recommendations?"
"I think the best guy to talk about this is him." One in the group pointed behind Julian and there he stood, his eyes were shining, like someone who is excited to be in his element, Julian was also surprised, he was very tall, so tall that he barely fit through a door frame.
"Did you hear what he asked for, Tanaka?"
"Of course, but we would go eat something now, you can come with us, if you want?" His voice was deep and calm.
"So fast can it happen, suddenly I am in a group of gamers going to eat in the cafeteria, me a few months ago could never think of this happening."
"Sorry, I forgot to ask, what is your name?"
"Mercer Julian." His name slowly began to mean something in school, at the beginning only a few knew him for being a transfer student, then one of his biggest hypes was the sports festival, this gave him lots of popularity, the posters from Ran also gave him attention but not really popularity, the other big thing that brought him popularity is what he does right now, becoming popular in many different classes, with all those things his name began to have weight, especially in the second grade.
"I think a know you, aren´t you the guy who almost won in this relay race, the big one at the sports festival, you are quite a little popularity already, only after a few months here right?"
"Y-yeah, seems like you know much about what is happening here, Hehe."
"Only a bit."
"This guy knows very much, I should be maybe a bit more careful around him, I think he also still remembers the poster move from Ran this bastard."
They arrived at the cafeteria; Tanaka had a portion for three Julian´s.
"So, Julian you wanted to know more about video games, right? Because you want to start?!"
"Yes, Nakamura was telling me that you guys know more about him then he does."
At the beginning Tanaka was very calm, as soon he started talking about video games, his eyes began to shine, he was talking even more then Nakamura, Julian was just sitting there and nodded the whole time with a pleasured expression, inside him he wanted to say that he goes to the toilet and just not comes again.
Ding, dong, ding.
"Finally."
"Guys, I think we should head back, Hehe."
"Yeah, your right, we need a bit to be there."
But Julian´s final wasn't really finally because they have a similar walk to class, Tanaka still was talking with Julian for almost the whole way to class.
"Do you want to exchange numbers? If you need anything or just want to meet up?!"
"Hehe, Sure."
"At least we have a bit different ways to our class! But beside that I am very mentally drained, I have a now someone who is more in the gamer group, I hope this was it worth, but I think the manga, anime guys already like me."
Later at home Julian got texted, no other than Tanaka "HEY! DO YOU REMEMBER THE GAMES I RECOMENDTED YOU TODAY, INSTAL THEM NOW AND WE CAN PLAY!!!"
"Okay wait a second."
"Why did he write everything in big letters and so many emojis?"
Hours later.
"This was my first time playing video games, was pretty fun, I think he likes me and probably the others from this group also, if they also like me I only have the IT, computer group left…to be honest that this school is so stereotypical is in my opinion not only hilarious but also disgusting in my eyes, because I know the school does this on purpose and I don't think they do it because they really want to do something good with it."
The days after he was also playing games with them, until he had the feeling that he could go on.
"I spend way too much time in this class if you ask me, I am popular enough in the gamer group that in can continue, after this group I am finally done with this class, hopefully the others take less time.
"I already have a plan about how I get instructed to them, I just say that something is wrong with my computer, it must be something that is not a physical damage but more something like an error, I say that something is wrong with my computer, I have a cousin that says that he can hacks, if I say to him that he should hack a computer but not that everything is broken, he will do it for sure!"
Julian called him, his cousin made a link, the one that should be hacked should click on the link and then there should be a virus.
"Hey Tanaka, I need your help, a friend sends me a link and since then…I think I have a virus now!"
"Sounds like a good friend, but anyways, I hope you have an antivirus program, right?"
"Of course, I already tried using it, but this virus bugged the program in a weird way that I cannot even open it, you know someone that could help?!"
"I know plenty of people that could help there but the best is probably a guy in my class, he is an complete computer and IT nerd, I can't go to school tomorrow because I need to go to the doctor, just say the problem and that you come from me, he is pretty muscular short and I would say good looking, brown hair, blue eyes, his name is Shimizu Daichi."
"Okay thanks, I am going to ask him tomorrow, but you said you go to the doctor tomorrow, is everything okay?"
"Everything is good, I have asthma, and I feel it since a few weeks stronger again, so it's just a little check, but to be honest I skip the rest of the school day and just play a bit or whatsoever!"
"Sounds good, thanks again and good luck for tomorrow, bye!"
"Thanks, good luck for you to dude, we are going to see us next week!"
"He, I have luck that tomorrow is still Friday because otherwise I would need to wait until it's over gone further!"
"I made some calculations and if everything should go after them, I should easily be able to become popular in the other school year, changing the system will take longer, hopefully I will be able to do this in time!?"
"Everything ran like I wanted to, maybe getting to know the IT nerds isn't that hard, after they also know me, I will continue getting to the next class."
"Even though I made some calculations about how long it's going to take in total, I am still excited about how long it's going to take?!"
"But there is one thing I that I worry about right now, I can't see the rope from my father, and I know what this means, we only need to look at Matsuda."
He had problems sleeping this night, he didn't wanted to wake up at the time he must, but he did it anyways, he was going to school, still being halve asleep, there was only two motivating things this morning, the cold and foggy weather, but also the motivation to become the most popular at school.
