The History Club

After a long nap in his last class, he arranged his desk and even dared yawn loudly in front of the others. The lad was seated at the back but it was enough for everyone to notice. It gained everyone's attention including his teacher.

"Karo! Starting tomorrow, you'll be seated in front! If I ever caught you sleeping, I will let you solve a hundred math problems!" The teacher nagged and everyone inside started to laugh. "Everyone, dismissed!"

Their teacher gaze were like daggers to Karo until he left. Karo placed his bag over his shoulder and started to walk tiredly. After he passed through their classroom's door, he remembered that he's the vice president of the History Club and a meeting was to be done for today.

He sighed and murmured, "What a tiring day."

......................

The Club Room isn't that far from Karo's classroom. As he walk pass the corridor, he noticed that a lot of clubs are planning on their projects for the upcoming event. He's kind of jealous how other clubs has a tripled amount of members than theirs. He plug an earphone in and just listened to some songs in order to distract himself.

"I really can't win when you're my opponent unless I resort to dirty tricks."

"Dirty tricks are your specialty. But I won't suggest you use it in actual matches."

Karo was still outside the club when he heard the two other members having a conversation inside. He unplugged the earphones and placed it in his pocket. The club door was widely opened, he stood in front of the entrance, leaning at the door, watching the other members converse on how to win a chess without using dirty tricks.

"Dirty tricks are still tri-Oh! Hi there Vice President!" The secretary of the club, Crood, with his uniform missing a necktie, waved at Karo.

"Thinking of winning a chess without losing a piece?" The President of the club, Victor, who told a mockingly statement at Karo. But the real intention is to see the Vice President's grumpy face.

"Losing a pawn is already a loss for me. Not like someone who will sacrifice every piece just to attain victory," Karo replied with a smug look on his face pertaining to Victor. He let himself inside and went straight to the bookshelf behind the two.

"The books are dusty. These should be cleaned tomorrow. Where is Venim? This time should be club hours, why is he not here?" Karo asked the two.

"Making a love potion for me perhaps?" Crood confidentally pointed himself after muttering the words, not knowing the one he's talking to is already at the entrance.

"I'm afraid I haven't yet succeeded in making one," someone came in showing a set of perfect teeth, having his dimples visible in his face. It was the treasurer of the club, Venim Penn. He went inside and everyone sat in their own specific chairs.

The President, Victor stood up and announced to everyone, "Now that everyone's here, let's discuss the new project for the upcoming school festival."

"Any suggestions?"
