Before the First Event

The scene in the room reminds him of the first chapter of the 'Black Roses' it does not just remind him... it is the first scene where the whole story started.

Michael stared at Mikael with a face as if he has seen a ghost. Mikael notices him but Michael looked away.

'is he the Mikael from the manga?... it must be a coincidence... because if it is not it means that I'm dragged into the story! '

I'm looking at him when he started to walk, I averted my eyes and look at the window instead.

I felt Marco poking my back.

"What is it?" I asked

"Let's change seats"

He continuously poking my back with his finger. What's with this guy?

I lean my back on the chair and looked at him.

'It looked like I already know why he wants us to change our seats'

"Michael you're next!"

The advisor shouted from the back of the room... I almost forgot that we are in the middle of introducing ourselves.

I stood up and faced my classmates.

"Michael Tuazon... nice to meet you"

I bowed and back to my seat, I gazed at Mikael who was in the back talking to the advisor.

If it is the Black Roses that I know then the advisor's name would be...

I take a looked at the I. D that gave to us earlier.

[ADVISOR: Ms. Jhade Velasquez]

'Eh? '

I stopped after I confirmed that it was her... the Ms. Jhade from the manga. As far as I know, she is an excellent advisor, it is just sometimes she didn't act like a normal advisor.

"Hahahahaha then why are you still here Mikael?"

I heard her laughing at the back.

'Then it is mean that I'm in the world of Black Roses that I know, that's why there's a sudden change in the school earlier'

Then again Marco Didn't stop poking my back.

"Please?"

He said while looking at Ericka.

"Shut up... and stop poking me!"

is he just bored or what?

I looked to my side as I felt someone passed by. It was Mikael who's now in the vacant seat in front of me. I was looking at him when he turned his back and looked at me.

" I'm Mikael Teodones... Let's get along this year"

" Michael Tuazon... nice to meet you"

" Yeah I heard it earlier"

ah! it is when I am introducing myself earlier... I didn't know that he is listening at that time, especially if he was talking to Ms. Jhade.

"Our name is pretty similar right?"

"oh? yes I think so too"

" And that girl is Ericka... she is a friend of mine so take good care of her"

he said while looking at Ericka.

" What do you mean?"

He brought his face close to my ears and whispered.

" I noticed that she's always looking at you"

"What?! "

I looked at him grinning.

" it's a joke it's a joke"

oh! he said it twice... but if it is true that Ericka's looking at me then maybe...

I smiled.

"Just kidding"

"Did you say anything?"

"nothing"

We stopped when Ms. Jhade announced that it is time to start the class and she started to write something on the board.

"Michael?"

Ms. Jhade called me.

"Answer this"

she said and tap the board in the front... I stood up proudly and started to walk...

If there's something that I can do best, it is studying, I am pretty confident in my smart brain. Last year I was in the top 10 of the highest grade in our classroom, in other words, it will be a piece of cake for me... Yeah, a piece of cake... a piece... of cake...

Now that I am standing in front of the board and there's only one thing I can say...

'What the heck is this?!"

Ms. Jhade approached me.

" You can answer it right?"

I think she doesn't want me to feel embarrassed that why she whispered it to me. But... I still have my pride... no.. no... It's now my chance to redo my impression earlier.

"Please do not disturb me"

I said and continue thinking...

'Is this the lesson for the third year? but I haven't learned it yet... I feel like I jump in a whole year... wait I'd jumped a whole year I am fourth year in this worl-'

I stopped when I feel someone hit my head and looked at who was it.

"Oh, are you okay? did someone hit you?"

'eh... I think I pissed her "

I smiled at her and looked back at the board but she hit me again!.

" You should start answering Michael"

she said while smiling... I still can't get why did she act like a child despite being a 28 years old woman.

I just laughed awkwardly.

"You may go back to your seat"

I nodded and started walking to my seat when I noticed that Marco and Mikael are both suppressing their laugher.

I looked at Ericka for a second... it seems like she didn't see that.

"What are you laughing at?"

I asked both of them after I sat down but they didn't answer me.

This is not bad as I thought, I admit that I panicked earlier when I found out that I am... we are in their world. But something is bothering me.

'Why Marco didn't surprised about this? '

I remember he is the one who recommended me that manga.

"Am I too handsome?"

Marco while rubbing his chin.

" Shut up"

I said and looked in a different direction. I didn't notice that I am staring at him.

A few hours had passed and it's already lunch break, Marco and Mikael go out to buy us some food.

"I didn't know that the two of them already know each other"

I said blankly while looking at the window.

" They both laughed at you earlier"

I was surprised and looked at Ericka who's cleaning her desk. She looked at me with a blank face"

"What?"

" No, it's just... I didn't expect you to open a conversation with me"

Yeah, that is true... the moment that I figured out that she's the Ericka from the Manga I've already expected that she will not talk to me unless there's something she needs... that's the personality that gave to her by the author so I can't complain.

"Oh! right-"

what is it? she's thinking?

"Ummm... weirdo do you have some spare pen? I think I lost mine"

'Eh? that's why she talks to me? and what's with weirdo?!'

I open my backpack and took my spare pen.

"Here... and my name is Michael I introduced earlier right?"

She took the pen and open her mouth.

" Thanks...hmmm weirdo"

" As I said it is Michael"

"Yeah... weirdo"

"Its Michael"

" oh? it's not your name... I just called you weirdo"

" Don't just address someone like that!"

" Ok... weirdo"

" As I .... ok ok forget it... it will become an infinite loop"

" oh? you said ok twice"

As I thought, it is like an argument but her expression and tone of her voice didn't change as well. It's like I throw a ball on the wall and it hit me back.

"Yo! we're back!"

It was Marco who entered the door while waving the plastic bag in his right hand, at his back is Mikael sipping a can of a strawberry milkshake.

"Here..."

Mikael and put a can of strawberry milkshake on Ericka's table.

"Can I talk to you later?"

Ericka while looking at him... isn't this the first chapter? then that means the first event will happen after school.

"Sure"

'Then after school is the start of the story huh?'
