The heat wave was covered from the cooling artifact installed inside the school. I enjoyed my ice cream in the café with Shelly, Ellen, Sienna and Delia. I never ended up attending anymore fraction meetings after that day. But, Sienna and Delia remained in our group.
"What is your class doing for the summer culture festival?" Sienna asked me.
"We haven't decided yet," I remembered the fight that happened a few hours ago.
All of my classmates stayed back to discuss what our class would do for the summer festival. This was an annual event each class in middle school would create a mini venue for the high school students to attend. It was like practice for becoming the hosts during social week. Last year, our class went with creating a mini café.
However, it would be boring to stick with the same stuff that every other class was doing. It was time to spice things up! We needed snack stalls like sukiyaki and yakisoba instead of the fancy desserts ordered beforehand. Maybe even performing a play would be nice.
"Let's do snack stalls," I wrote down my idea on the board.
"Maybe not snack stalls," Ellen tried to suggest any other idea.
"What about we do a play?" I clasped my hands together.
"We don't have enough people for a play," Allan pointed out.
"A gender bender host club!" I blurted.
Everyone looked at me like they didn't know what I was talking about. How would I explain to them it was cross-dressing while flirting with guests? I hoped they wouldn't search the term up as I came up to with a decent explanation, "it's a cross-dressing café."
"Wouldn't it be fun?" I threw the idea around.
I was curious how Luke and Alex would look if they cross-dressed into the same dresses I wore. They would finally experience the pain I've been suffering through at their insistence. At the same time, I would experience their comfortable shoes with no heels.
"No way," Charles yelled.
"Why not?" I shouted back.
"This is ridiculous," Charles was almost about to explode.
"Only you think it's ridiculous," I looked at Shelly and Ellen for support.
"Well, the idea itself isn't bad," Ellen muttered when I pleaded through my glistening eyes.
Shelly nodded to agree, which made our class split into two again. Charles harrumphed before he left the room to think of a better idea. Miliana ran after him to calm him down, which brought the room into a realm of silence.
"A cross-dressing café!" Sienna's eyes started to glitter.
"It would be fun to see," Delia laughed from the thought.
"Right?" My eyes twinkled.
I just needed to somehow convince Luke, which would persuade both Alex and Allan. Once everyone agreed, Charles would have no choice but to follow the majority. I could already imagine picking out their outfits for them. Their wonderfully sculpted faces would brighten even my collection of cheap clothes.
"But how are you going to convince them?" Delia seemed interested.
"I don't know yet," I admitted.
I walked back to my dorm room as I schemed more plans in my head. My relationship with Luke wasn't exactly the greatest lately. He showed hints of exhaustion from being part of two fractions while continuing the intense study sessions that took the majority of our day. After studying for our next exam, we both slipped into our beds without any conversation.
Apart from studying together, we didn't meet each other if we didn't have to. I continued to hang out with my usual group as Luke continued his sword practice. As long as we gathered a stable amount of points, Luke didn't care what I did unless it sullied his family name.
We were like childhood friends who were stuck together for too long that we avoided each other when we could. I already shared a dorm room with him and sat beside him during class. I was his partner whenever we had to attend a formal event as well as doing any missions together given by the school.
We had to see each other's face whether we liked it or not. Since we knew too much about each other, there were no fantasies between us. In fact, my impression of Luke being a prince from a fairy tale shattered after a month of living with him in kindergarten.
"What do you think of my idea?" I jumped on Luke when he came back from another fraction meeting.
"I think doing a normal café like last year would be better," Luke turned down my idea.
"Please?" I pulled out my glistening eyes begging for help.
"Only if you manage to get over eighty points in all the subjects for the next exam period," Luke gave me an impossible task.
The midterm period for all the subjects were coming up next week. Normally I earned at least three subjects below a sixty no matter how much I desperately studied. But it was because I didn't know how to use the dimensional library properly since I was still experimenting with absorbing the books.
I was starting to get hang out absorbing the books now. Since I could absorb two books per day, I would have to choose wisely on which books to absorb. I planned to take out the thickest books that covered everything instead of the books given by the school that covered one flimsy subject each.
"Deal!" I shouted.
