As usual, she can feel her female classmate badmouthing her. The whispers and sidelong glance, they started when she was small. Only explanation is that they feel threatened by her.
Once again, loneliness creeps. When was the last time she had a real conversation with someone? Someone she weren't trying to scam or obligated to interact with, that is. Maybe the class's nerds? Well, despite using them, they where the closest Kaede ever had to friends. They're forming a tightly bonded squad, while they didn't knew each other before she put them on her orbit.
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Kaede approaches the boys. Time to put the mask on.
>Perk : Handsome + Smile!
Here they are. Koichi, the smart guy that trains for medical school, Kenichi, the push-over and Kintoki, the Doesn't-give-a-damn.
" Hey boys.
>- What do you want?
- Apologize. I hope it is not too late. Using you as I did was just wrong.
>- Cut it. You want some help with the university entrance exams? I agree to help you... If you agree to... D-date me..."
Kenichi started brash, and embarassment build up with his sentence. It was painful to watch.
" I told you, I'm not here for that. I miss hanging out with you. But as a clarification, no I won't date you Kenichi. Nor you Koichi, or you Kintoki.
>- Why not? We are not good enough for you?
- As a matter of fact, you can take it like this. Seeing this world we're leaving in, are any of you strong enough to protect someone you love? To create a safe have for her and your children? Can you afford to fool around before that?"
Kaede didn't wanted to burst like that. But it looks like it sparked something in them.
>Perk : Simp Squad
>Koichi : I'll work hard to become a surgeon. Maybe I can volunteer as Fireman too?
>Kenichi : Always wanted to learn martial arts... Was worried of being too weak to start, but with that logic I'll never do it... I'll look for a Dojo tonight.
>Kintoki : Time to pick up sabre practice with the old man again...
Feel free to hook Kaede for anything once school is done.
