Chapter 31: Second School Day
(The second day of school. Saiki was determined not to go to school early, not when he had no lessons for the first two hours. He could finally enjoy some peace and quiet at home before the chaos of the school day began. Or so he thought.)
Saiki (thinking): Why would I go to school early when I don't even have class for two hours? I'll just stay home and avoid the madness. This is my chance for a peaceful morning.
(He sat in his room, relaxed, enjoying his time alone. It was perfect... until he heard a loud knock on the door.)
Nendou (shouting through the door): Yo pal! Open up, I'm here to pick you up for school!"
Saiki (thinking): I should've known. There's no escaping this guy.
(Saiki sighed, walking over to the door and opening it. There stood Nendou, grinning widely.)
Nendou: Yo! You ready to head to school? I thought we could walk together again!
Saiki (thinking): Why does he always do this? I told him I didn't need him to come over.
Saiki: Nendou, I don't have any classes for the first two hours today. I'm staying home.
Nendou: Yo pal! School! Together! We will be late ,hurry up pal!
Saiki (thinking): This guy... there's no way to win.
(Against his better judgment, Saiki gave in and followed Nendou to school. By the time they arrived, Saiki realized that he had just wasted two hours of his morning.
He found a quiet spot in the school hallway, hoping for some peace, but the inevitable happened. One by one, students started showing up, all coming over to talk to him. First, it was Teruhashi with her usual compliment, then Kaidou talking about some new Dark Reunion theory.)
Saiki (thinking): I should've stayed home. This is worse than just dealing with Nendou and Kaidou in the morning. Now I'm stuck here with all these people, and for what?
(By the time the bell rang for his first class, Saiki was mentally drained. He realized that even when he tried to avoid the chaos, it found him anyway.)
Saiki (thinking): There's no escaping it. Whether I go to school early or late, the madness follows me everywhere.
(The bell rang, signaling the start of the day. Saiki was already mentally preparing for the chaos that was about to unfold.)
Aren: Morning, Saiki! Wanna meet behind the school to talk?
Saiki (thinking): Not today, Aren.
Teruhashi: Saiki, why didn't you look at me this morning? Are you falling in love with me?
Saiki (thinking): I swear, sometimes I wonder if I should just stay home.
Kaidou: Saiki! Something big will happen today ,we must prepare..
Saiki (thinking): And here it comes...
Nendou: Yo, pal? Best day ever, right? You wanna go for ramen after school?"
Saiki (thinking): I should've just stayed home today.
(The day went by in a blur of endless greetings and interruptions. The lessons were easy, but the constant distractions were unbearable.)
Kaidou (dramatically): They've been watching us, Saiki. The Dark Reunion—
Saiki (cutting him off): Kaidou, not now.
Toritsuka: Yo, Saiki! You see all these girls around? I think I'm in heaven today. How am I supposed to focus with this much... temptation?
Saiki: If you keep this up, I could send you to heaven,but I'm pretty sure you're not worth the effort.
(By the end of the day, Saiki was completely drained. It didn't matter how early or late he came to school. The chaos always found him.)
Saiki (thinking): I'm starting to think skipping school might be easier. But then they'd just come to my house...
(As he walked home, he could already hear Nendou's voice echoing in his head.)
Nendou: Yo, pal! Same time tomorrow?
Saiki (thinking): Great. Another day of this.
(And with a sigh, he walked home, ready to face another day of inevitable chaos.)
