Class representatives

How did I know all these? It’s the first rule of any game or work: whenever you start something new, and you don’t know about it, first observe, understand it, and then make a suitable strategy. And it’s a perk I gained while being a loner. I say it as a perk. But in reality, it’s my shield to deal with others. Compared to others, I am average-looking. The only thing I am good at is my studies. So, I have to maintain my rank-one status at any cost. But that won't be an easy task to do, since I am not the only one who is after the first rank position. Unlike the main characters, I have to work hard because life is unfair.

Our class has a total of 40 students. I sit on the left side of the classroom, near the window. In front of me, a girl sits, but it’s hard to remember her name. It’s a real shame that I don’t easily remember everyone’s name. Behind me sits Adrian, and beside him is Ethan. The sitting position made it easier to observe them.

And today we are going to select class representatives, one from a boy and one from a girl. Surprisingly, the candidates were not chosen by lottery but by recommendation. Our classmates recommended Ethan from the boys’ side and Clara from the girls’ side. Well, now that’s an unusual pairing. Being a class representative is a real pain. You will be given a mountain of work to do, and if there’s any festival or function that is being held, you will be used like a slave. If I am ever elected for the position, I will immediately resign. When I said this, “If I were ever elected, I would immediately resign,” I immediately signed my contract with trouble. Why? For some reason, I was called out to the staff room the next day. I went to the staff room, and there was a surprise waiting for me, apparently, and that was that I had to help both of the class representatives with their work. I thought to myself, Is God making fun of me? But why did the head teacher select me to help both of them? It’s not like that, I don’t want to work or anything like that; it’s just that I will lose my precious time of gaming. But I can’t refuse; otherwise, my credibility will go down, and I can’t let that happen. It was hard to build my credibility with all the teachers over the past two months; there’s not a chance I will allow all the effort to go to waste.

I was having all those thoughts as I was on my way to my class from the staff room. I entered my class, and as I was about to take my seat, the girl in front of me started her inquiry about the reason that I was called to the staff room. Now that I see her face clearly, she is beautiful. But I can’t say that to her. So, I replied to her, saying it was just a trivial matter.
