Chapter 8 - Club Cleaning

After school, They met up in their new club room.

Amasa: This place is...

Sakura: Kinda...

Kazuki: It looks horrible? Yes I agree.

Kenji: The reason why we have club activities today is to clean and possibly decorate the club room. Don't you guys want a comfortable club room?

Shinji: Yeah But you never told us we'd be cleaning (He said while sitting his bag down by the door, where everyone else's bags were)

Kenji: Yeah I know. But I figured you guys probably wouldn't show up if I said "Oh yeah I'm going to make you do chores."

Amasa: "Make"? Pfft. You're not making me clean.

Haru/Asashi: If Amasa doesn't want to, then I don't either.

Kazuki: Simp (He mumbled)

Haru/Asashi: WHAT'D YOU SAY?!

Kazuki was surprised. He didn't know that Haru could hear him.

Kazuki: N-Nothing. I didn't say anything.

Kenji Laughed.

Kenji: "Simp " Is crazy work.

Kenji laughs again, he wiped the tears from his eyes and exhale.

Kenji: Man seriously, Kazuki You're funny.

Kazuki smiled, But you could tell he was annoyed.

Amasa: I'm fine with cleaning but I really don't want to.

Kenji: I knew you'd say something like that Amasa, So that's why...

Kenji dug in his bag and pulled out a store bag.

Kenji: I bought you some yogurt. But, you have to clean first.

Amasa blushed and looked away from the the yogurt.

Amasa: You think you can bribe me with yogurt? (She said in a quiet voice)

Kenji: Yep.

Sakura giggled.

Shiho/Suki: You really like yogurt that much huh?

Amasa was surprised.

Amasa: What do you mean? But I didn't accept it.

Shiho/Suki: Well, I can tell you really like it. You were blushing when yogurt was mentioned and your friend is trying to bribe you with it.

Sakura: Yeah. It's so obvious Amasa. Remember when you were stealing Kenji's Mom's Yogurt?

Amasa: I remember that all too well. It's embarrassing.

Sakura giggled.

Shinji: I really got to use the bathroom.

Kazuki: Then go?

Shinji: Also Kazuki I've noticed that you've been talking more than usual. Usually you'd barely utter a word unless it's some work type stuff.

Kazuki blushed a bit and looked over at Kenji who was smiling.

Kazuki looked back at Shinji.

Kazuki: Well... W-Would you prefer if I didn't?

Kazuki looked away.

Shinji: Yeah Man. It's always awkward when you don't speak. It sometimes just feels like you're a bystander. Y'know? We'd all love it if you spoke more. And you're funny.

Kazuki smiled.

Amasa was surprised for a second, but then smiled.

Sakura: You have a nice smile, Kazuki.

Kazuki blushed and looked away, Scratching the side of his head.

Kazuki: R-Really? Thanks...

Shinji walked over to the club room door quickly.

Shinji: I'm going to the bathroom.

Shinji left out the club room quickly.

The room was silent.

Shiho/Suki: Uhm... Well I've noticed you guys were calling me by my surname... I'd actually prefer... If... Uh... If you guys called me by my given name.

Amasa: Okay, Suki.

Suki smiled.

Sakura: Suki.

Suki: Y-Yeah?

Sakura: No I was just trying out your name. I was only just saying it. Call me by my given name as well.

Suki: I will.

Sakura: Go ahead.

Suki: Sakura.

Suki blushes.

Kenji: Yeah you're welcome to call me by my given name as well.

Kazuki: I don't mind either.

Suki: So it's Kenji, Sakura, and Kazuki. Right?

Sakura, Kazuki, & Kenji: Yeah.

Kenji: I'm sure Shinji wouldn't mind letting you call him by his given either.

Suki: Probably. But he's not even in here. I can't just be like Hey and randomly call him by his given name.

Kenji: Yeah I know.

In that moment, Shinji walked in.

Suki was startled.

Shinji: What's up? You look like you were startled Shiho.

Suki/Shiho: Oh no. I wasn't startled. You just opened the door suddenly...

Shinji: Oh My bad Man.

Suki/Shiho: Oh well we were talking about how I wanted you guys to call me by my given name.

Shinji: Oh alright. That applies to me too right?

Suki: Yeah.

Shinji: Alright. You can call me by mines if you want. You too, Asashi.

Haru/Asashi: I don't mind if you guys call me by my given nane either. We are friends now.

Shinji: Right.

Kenji: Alright. Let's get cleaning.

Amasa: With what cleaning supplies?

Kenji: I thought I told you guys to get cleaning supplies.

Everyone: You didn't.

Kenji: Oh.

Suki Laughed.

Suki: You're so funny, Kenji.

Kenji: You think?

Suki: Yeah totally. I bet we're going to have lots a fun in the future.

Kenji: Oh Thanks.

Kenji smiled awkwardly, while scratching the back of his head.

Amasa watched them. She didn't like that they were together like that.

Amasa(Thoughts): D-Does she like him? No way. They just met. There's no way. Wait, Why am I concerned with this. It's none of my business. Who cares if she likes him and then he starts to like her back and then they start dating and I'll be all alone. Yep, who cares?

Sakura noticed that Amasa seemed disturbed.

She knew why.

Suki continued to talk to kenji.

Sakura smirked.

She whispered to Amasa.

Sakura: Maybe those two will start dating soon. (Said quietly)

Amasa: W-What (Said quietly)

Amasa was surprised by Sakura's comment.

Sakura: You heard me, I said those two might start dating soon. They look so good together. But I think you and Kenji would look better together, Don't you think? (Said quietly)

Amasa: W-Well Maybe but that doesn't mean I like- (said quietly)

Shinji: What're you two talking about over here huh?

Sakura pushed him.

Sakura: None of you're business! Go Chat with Mr.Gloomy!

Kazuki: Wha?

Shinji: No!

Kazuki: Wha?

Shinji: I'm just curious is all. You girls having some girl talk then?

Sakura: Yeah now go away!

Shinji: Aw you're so mean. Meanie!

Sakura: What?

Shinji: I said you were a meanie.

Sakura: Please, You sound like a child.

Shinji: But I am a child.

Sakura: I thought you were a teenager.

Shinji: I am but-

Sakura: Okay then, you're not a child. Shut up and Go away!

Shinji: D-Don't tell me what to do!

Sakura: Don't tell me not to tell you what to do. What teenager says "Meanie"

Shinji: Me obviously!

Sakura: Cry about it.

Shinji: No! What's there to cry about. Plus I'm a man, and a man doesn't cry!

Sakura: Nuh-Uh! A few seconds ago you said you were a child.

Suki and Kenji continued to talk while they argued in the back.

Suki: They're pretty loud.

Kenji: Yeah I know. They're like toddlers. And Kazuki is like the mom. He's always stopping the meds.

Suki: Oh I see. I would've assumed you were the most responsible.

Kenji: Not really, Sometimes I'm like a toddler too. It's fun. We're still young so we'd better enjoy it.

Suki: That's something and old person would say. So I guess you're muture, mentally at least...

She chuckled.

Amasa walked over to them.

Amasa: What's so funny? (she said in a rude tone)

Kenji: That was rude.

Suki: What's your problem? You jealous of me and Kenji.

Kenji blushed.

He looked at Amasa.

Kenji(Thoughts): That would be great. Amasa fussing over me- No! I mean, only so Suki can leave me alone. She's bothering me too much.

Amasa: Pfft. As if. I didn't mean to sound rude. I was irritated with Sakura and Shinji. I saw you laugh a bit so I was just curious as to what was funny. Cuz Kenji ain't funny. Y'know?

Suki: I think Kenji's plenty of funny.

Amasa was surprised by her response.

Amasa: Surely you're Joking right? Are we talking about the same guy here.

Suki: Yep. And he's handsome.

Amasa was surprised again.

Amasa: Really?! This ugl-

Amasa looked at kenji's Face, and she blushes.

Amasa: Y'know what, Forget about it. You're really Pis-

Sakura: Ouch!

Shinji: Oops.

Sakura: WHY'D YOU THROW YOUR LAME HEADPHONES AT ME!

Shinji: MY HEADPHONES AREN'T LAME! GIVE THEM BACK!

Sakura: YOU'RE NOT GETTING THEM BACK!

Kazuki: Can you guys stop.

Sakura&Shinji: Shut up!

Kazuki got mad.

The vein in his head was popping.

His eye twitched.

Amasa: He looks really mad...(Said in a scared tone)

Kazuki: who are you to tell me what to do?! Huh?! (he said angrily)

Sakura and Shinji went quiet immediately.

Sakura: Uhh are you o-

Kazuki: shut up. Now listen, you two are going to shut up and go to the store and get cleaning supplies. (He said in an angry tone)

Sakura& Shinji: YES SIR!

Sakura and Shinji Saluted.

Kazuki took a deep breath.

Kazuki: Okay, I'm paying for them. So here's some money. (he siad in his usual tone)

Sakura and Shinji took a sigh of relief.

Kazuki gave them some money for cleaning supplies and they left quickly.

The room went quiet for a while but Kenji decided to start a conversation.

Kenji: I've never seen you angry before, Kazuki.

Kazuki: I wasn't angry...

Kenji: Yeah okay.

Amasa walked over to Haru.

Amasa: What're you doing there Haru?

Haru: Just reading.

Amasa: What're you reading?

Haru: N-Nothing interesting.

Amasa grabbed it out of Haru's hand and started reading it.

Haru reached for it but didn't yank it from Amasa.

He sighed.

Haru: You can't just take someone's things, Amasa.

Amasa: I know, But I figured it was okay to do it with a close friend... But if we're not that close then it's fine.

Amasa reached the book over to Haru.

Haru blushed.

Haru: N-No it's fine. Next time just ask okay?

Amasa smiled.

Amasa: Okay.

Kenji's eyes twitched.

Suki: What's wrong?

Kenji: Nothing.

Amasa: So this is a romance book huh? I didn't know you were into that type of stuff Haru.

Haru: I enjoy them sometimes. I just do happen to fine this one. It's and old one inside my library.

Amasa: Oh okay. It's decent. Even though I haven't read the beginning.

Haru: It's enemy's to Lovers.

Amasa: Oh okay.

Haru smiled.

After a moment, Shinji and Sakura came back with supplies.

Sakura & Shinji: We're back!

Kazuki: Great, Let's get to cleaning.

They started cleaning the room. After a while it was done.

Kenji: Phew. We're finally done. We have 5 Minutes left. So let's just leave. Amasa You're going to call a ride to your house?

Amasa: Yeah I'm on it.

Amasa walked over by the door and called someone.

Amasa: Hello, I need a car that can fit 7 People and I need you to pick me up from school and take me to my house..... Uh yeah.... Thanks.... Anyways we'll be waiting..... No, the one I inherited..... I hope not, but I don't think so..... A bit....Are you there?.....Oh well you can take it off them Kay?... Alright, See ya.

Amasa put her phone back and went back further into the room.

Amasa: Alright, He's coming.

Kenji: Who?

Amasa: My driver? Who else?

Sakura: Alright!

Amasa: He's going to be here in 10 minutes.

Kazuki: I'm going to buy some drinks then.

Amasa: I'm not thirsty.

Shinji, Sakura, Haru, Suki, & Kenji: Me neither.

Kazuki sighed..

Kazuki: Then I'm going to get a drink.

Kazuki left the room.

It was quiet the entire time.

Kazuki came back with a green tea.

Amasa: Oh, Kenji where's my yogurt.

Kenji sighed and gave her the bag.

Amasa looked in the store bag.

Amasa: There's some snacks in here to.

Kenji: It's for all of you guys, for volunteering to help me clean the club room.

Haru: Whatchu mean "Volunteering"?

Kenji: Did I not tell you guys? It was my Job to clean the club room, not you guys.

Everyone: No!

Amasa: You always tell us things late.

Then they heard a car horn.

Amasa looked at her phone.

Amasa: It's only been 6 Minutes. It's not him.

The she got a text.

Text: I'm outside. Get your butt out here. I know you hear the horn!

Amasa groaned and texted back

Amasa(Message): You said you'd be her in ten minutes. It's only been seven. Have you been speeding again? I'm not paying for your ticket again.

Text: Yeah Ok. Get your butt out here before I leave you. I ain't got to drive you.

Amasa(Message): Please, You have nothing but time so what's it matter if I take my time.

Text: Alright I'm leaving. đź‘‹

Amasa: Gosh I hate this guy.

Amasa(Message): Hold up geez.

Amasa: We've got to go or he'll leave us. That guy is going to be the death of me one day I swear.

Sakura chuckled..

Sakura: Who was that?

Amasa: Just grab your stuff and come on.

Amasa left the room quickly.

Everybody followed after her.

When they reached the outside they didn't expect to see.....
