The Wind of My Life

...

*looking ahead

Why are people so angry at different things? And why do I have to pay for it?

* picking up a soap brush

(A few minutes before)

- Sebastian, can you tell us what you were doing yesterday before leaving school?

- Well, I was called by Naomi to participate in the collective cleaning of the school, cleaning the Club of Supernatural Studies together with a member of the club until about 4:20 PM. After that, I saw here on the student council to sign my participation and then I left the school . Why?

Strangely, some teachers started to look at me crookedly, as if I had been lying.

- So, Sebastian. When the cleaners were cleaning the hallways, the room entrance of this club was covered in ink , with offensive symbols and spray - painted the word "sinners".

* silence

- WAIT. WHAT?

- And according to Naomi, you came after that member of that club and signed the paper. Am I right?

- Yes, but ... Wait ... Do you think it was me ?!

I don't believe this! How did it happen so fast? No, I stopped by before I went, so whoever did it, did it after I went to sign my name.

- Sebastian, you were the last one there, so we think you have something to say.

- Professor , why would I dirty the room I had just cleaned? And the cameras in the halls?

- The camera in the hall was undergoing maintenance and therefore did not record anything yesterday. - Who would say?

- And there was no one on that floor?

- Most of the students were in the collective cleaning of the marked classrooms and few students passed that floor. In addition to the nearby club rooms being marked for cleaning today only.

Why is everything on its way to blame me?

- Fine. So, they called me just because I am suspected of doing this?

- Sebastian, you know that we are in a period of high debates, some very extreme, in relation to this type of behavior, and we do not admit this type of behavior. However, we do not want this action to be repeated or to attract the attention of other people.

- Then...?

- You are excused from your classes today and will clean up that mess.

- Wait ... Why me?

- Because...

- Do you still think I did that?

- We don't believe that. However, as the collective cleaning has already been carried out, consider this as an extracurricular activity.

- But why me? I didn't do that! There are many students in the whole school who are against the existence of that club and just because I, someone who has no problem with that, will pay ...

- Are you suggesting that some other student did this? It's a serious complaint, Sebastian. In addition, the school cannot go through any internal scandal that is exposed. Are you sure there are any other students who have done this?

Upon hearing this, Naomi watched with a face of anger, holding the paper fan tightly, wanting to defend me. But the problem is that teachers have a habit of rubbing these things because many of the students who have a problem with the club are the children of people who donate "spontaneously" to the school. So, I just have to accept this, without complaining why if not ...

- Fine. I clean .

...

(Current moment)

07:45 AM

But that is horrible, it is. They threw black paint on the windows and doors, drew some signs that look like imps and even the number "666" and the word "Sinners" on the window and on the club floor.

Well, it's time to clean up.

...

Damn ... This ink is hard to get out . What did they use?

- Sebastian?

I look at one of the doors and see Naomi with two buckets, a mop and a cloth.

- Naomi, I don't need ...

- Do you really think I would let you do this alone? - Well, there is no way to argue with her in that state.

- ( sigh ) Of course not ...

- Then I'll help you. And if you complain you already know.

- Okay ...

After that, we both started cleaning the club room. I wondered why this club still exists after so much has happened. Last night , I talked to some students from the clubs next door and they told me that this is not the first time that the club has suffered any retaliation from the students or of the school. The club not being on the collective cleaning schedule was the least I was told was bad. This considering that they have already placed two dolls hanging on each door of the club with a letter saying "Go to Hell!". And worse than I heard a lot.

And this is a hypocrisy that I don't understand. "Normal" people like them like things in movies , series or similar popular things , but when you have someone or a group of people who are overly enthusiastic about these things, they are different. And then that starts problems like what happened at the club.

And the school doesn't even help a lot in giving credibility to this club, because it would be useful in school festivals that happen here, but you know ... The unknown is always a sign to be afraid, according to people of the land of freedom.

- So ... Did you know who did it?

I asked Naomi, who was cleaning one of the windows and turned her gaze to me.

- Well, more or less. It seems that they shared photos in some classroom's chat groups. But a colleague of mine said that the first post was in one of the 2nd grade classrooms.

- How disgusting. But did you know which of the classrooms?

- No. According to my colleague, he said it was an unknown number that posted and left the group. So, even if we know, I think the person was too serious to do that.

- Wow ... But are these photos circulating among students ?

- No longer. Teachers pressured me to tell all students to delete photos and not share on any social network. To avoid spreading this among parents.

- That explains why they were there on the council, right?

- Yeah. As much as they want to teach us all, they still follow orders and rules to keep this ideal school perfect for everyone, when in fact, it is just to put these problems aside. Normal for them to do that, but at that level ...

- I see...

After saying that, Naomi finished cleaning the window and before moving on to the other, she looked at me with an expression of concern .

- Sebastian, you were daring to try to say that it was some student who has an desaffection for the club. Do you know what they could have done to you?

- Well... I don't know ... It doesn't make a difference anymore.

- Don't do? You could get suspended for that!

- Naomi ... Do you really think they would do that ?

- Well ... I don't know ...

- So ... Unless they want a time bomb , they are sure to at least ease the situation for them.

I tried again to clean the room and we didn't talk about anything else. It's not that I want to think about it, but I'm more concerned with what Claire is going to think of me and how I'm going to meet Ellyn's friend ...

...

12:45 PM

After a while, Naomi and I ended up cleaning everything before lunch. The teachers had only given me extra-curricular hours , but it doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to know who did it. Not because I cleaned it yesterday or because I wanted to look like I was at fault, but because they would have done it right after Claire and I have cleaned it.

- Sebastian?

I had sat on the same staircase where Naomi and I stayed from time to time to talk or something. And it was just me thinking about her that she appeared, holding her bento, which smells good.

- Hi, Naomi.

* Naomi sitting next to me

- Where's your lunch?

- I've already had lunch. As I couldn't go back to the living room , I was waiting to have lunch released. First in line always has one privilege and another.

- I know. If you want some, I can give you some of my lunch.

- N- No need, Naomi. Thank you. - I wanted so much!

- Okay. Itadakimasu! - Seriously she said that?

In the end, I kept looking up to not have to look at Naomi shamelessly. Delight my gaze on her, in other words.

- So ... What are you going to do until it's time to finish school for today?

- I don't know ... I think I'll go to the library. It must be a good place for slee...

* flick on my forehead

- Ouch!

- Don't do this if you want a paper fan on your head.

- I was kidding. I will read the subject that I missed in class today.

- Hmmmm. I hope that's it.

- But and you? Did you leave your classroom to help me at that time?

- Well ... I asked the teacher to release me. I said I had an extremely important student council job.

- You lying is a rarity.

- Look, knowing that you were cleaning the club as a form of "punishment" didn't seem fair to me. And also because I have a slight guilt for not seeing this soon.

- I see...

- Besides ... I think you would like to have a company close to you ~~

Naomi has a way of embarrassing me or let me screaming inside that I wonder if she does it on purpose or she doesn't notice. .. I just have this impression ...

- W-Well, thanks. And I'm sorry for talking to you like that.

- No problem. I was also frustrated with what the teachers said . So, I understand you are angry at that moment, if you can be angry.

- I feel that this was an unnecessary criticism.

- I thought many people already did that.

- Maybe, but only ...

- Sebastian Rodrigues?

Out of nowhere, I hear a male voice coming from the top of the stairs and I see a blond boy with brown eyes , a little bigger than me, looking at me directly.

- Yes it's me.

- Pleasure. Robert Gallstone , member of the Club of Supernatural Studies.

- Ah yes. Nice to meet you.

Why did coincidences come to give me a fair broth today?

- Hi, Naomi ~~

*silence

Huh ? That's weird. Naomi looked at Robert with a "Get out of here!" that I saw a few times. Why do I feel a problem between them? Wants to know...

- Eh ... What is the reason for looking for me?

- Ah yes. I came to thank you about the collective cleaning yesterday and the cleaning you two did today . - Huh ?

- Wait, how did you know?

- I went to the bathroom and saw you cleaning the club room today. Some friends of mine had told me that someone sabotaged the club yesterday and that the teachers made you clean it up. - He seems well informed about things.

- Ah ... No problem.

* Robert touching my shoulder

- Look, I know it wasn't you, so don't be nervous.

The moment he touched my shoulder, I just felt a chill in my spine coming from Naomi who was looking in a way that was making me more nervous than talking to Robert.

- O-Okay. It was just that?

- Yes. I'm sorry for disturbing your moment here. If you'll excuse me.

Robert went down the stairs and headed for the sports court. He seemed very polite to me, even with his thick voice. But there's something that made me more aware ...

* Naomi looking ugly at Robert

- Did something happen between you, Naomi?

*silence

- ( sigh ) Sebastian ... If I ask for something from you, can you promise to do it?

- It depends. What is?

Naomi turned her gaze to me and ...

- No matter what he says or what he asks of you, don't approach him.

...

- Naomi?

- He may seem polite, but he's not that kind of person ...

I never saw Naomi with a serious look like that. What did Robert do that left her like this?

- Naomi, I don't ...

- Promise me, Sebastian.

- O-Okay.

- Great...

Unfortunately, this promise will not last long, as he and Claire are people I have to approach to confirm whether they work with magic or not. But I don't need to say or do that with Naomi around ...

- (relief) So ... Shall we go? I accompany you to the library ~~

Naomi gets up and starts walking up the stairs slowly, but looking back, seeing if I'm going. After a few seconds, I just decide to go up the stairs with her. Naomi, what happened?

...

03:30 PM

Finally! I almost slept here in this place so quiet and peaceful. I pick up my things and leave the library. To be sure, I asked Naomi if she would need help and she said no need, so I can leave school without problems . And besides, I ended up getting a message from Stella saying that she and Ian were in the hospital because Ian's grandmother had a heart attack and the two of them stayed there with her, watching to see if she was okay. I worried, but I think Stella is the best company for Ian at those times. If I have time, I'll see if I can talk to him today.

After walking for a while, I realized I had a red car stopped and when his window opened ...

- Come on, Sebastian!

- Fine. You don't have to shout, Ellyn.

I got in the car and then the car started taking the fastest route to Madison. Over time, Ellyn seemed a little uneasy, as if she wanted to talk to me, but if we say something in front of the driver, he will find the conversation that she and I are going to have to be strange.

...

03:55 PM

...

I have come here in Madison a few times, but I am still surprised by what I see. A very populous and very stylish city in my eyes . And to think that a 20-minute drive separates Creast Fall , a medium-sized city, from Madison, a large city full of opportunities.

In the end, Ellyn and I ended up stopping in front of a place that appears to be for renting small apartments . To be honest, why would a rich person live here?

- Finally! I couldn't stand to be quiet!

- You could have said something, don't you think?

- With that driver looking at me all the time? No way!

It doesn't matter if you're from another world, pretty girl is always the target of a look. Even I looked and there's no excuse.

- So ... Can you explain, Ellyn?

- Well ... Before we go in, I'd like to tell you a few things first.

- Fine.

Before she spoke, we started up a small staircase to reach the apartment where this friend of Ellyn's is.

- My friend is somewhat "different" from me.

- Different? Are you going to tell me that he is a demigod or a legendary warrior?

- Not quite. It has certain distinctive attributes that would leave anyone amazed or afraid of him. - What kind of friend is she making?

- Look, if I was able to accept you, why would it be any different with him?

At that moment, Ellyn gave a forced smile , as if I was wrong.

- Okay ... If that's what you say.

We ended up stopping in front of one of the small apartments and Ellyn took a deep breath before opening the door. And when opening ...

* BAM!

- STOP! STOP! STOP!

- This is for you to stop taking my clothes without my permission, you ...

* looking at a boy lying on the floor with a young woman tickling the boy's belly

- (Ellyn holding a laugh) Raphaela, we're here!

When looking at the guy, he seems to have a white wolf ears it and a white tail ... I just could look at the Ellyn with a look forced ...

- Even in the other world have this type... Niceeee...
