In the classroom, with most of the girls doing their own things, Alex was doing that for himself. Sat down at a desk at the front, moving his pencil around, as he tries to think about what to write.
He was actually doing it, trying to create a poem. Needless to say, it was not an interest of his honestly, but the girls want him to at least try. So right now, he was trying. His only got one line though, and he was pretty sure he was going to erase it with the rubber end.
Very sad about it, but at least he was trying. With the other girls out, he could at least try and focus.
Doing that for a couple of seconds, until finally he gave up.
"This is impossible! I can't even rhyme for the life of me! No point!" He said, dropping his head down in a comical fashion. He laid it there for a couple of seconds until he heard footsteps.
'Something I can distract me! yes!' He said happily, looking to the side and seeing Sayori. She wore a smile on her face instantly when she saw him.
He admittedly wore one as well. "Hey Sayori! What's up? What are you doing?" He questioned eagerly.
However, she lost her smile. Now with a serious look. This was not something he really expected, as she walked her way over.
"S-Sayori?"
"Hey stupid!" She said, as this almost tripped him up by itself! "I see you're writing your stupid paper! Give it to me idiot!"
A long pause was there, as he had to comment. "Sayori? You uh... are you feeling okay."
"Shut up!" She said, getting him to look at her as if she was crazy. "I know you don't really care ugly!"
"U-Ugly?" He echoed. Wasn't even his first face, and it still kind of hurt him. "Why are you being rude Sayori?" He had to question.
She glared at him, until finally she cracked a smile. "I'm not being rude, i'm being a Tsundere!" She said happily.
"Uh... okay?" He repeated back to her just confused. Sayori knew she was going to have to explain. Moving around and sitting on the desk next to him.
"I'll explain. Tsundere is a type of dere. Where characters act all mean and stuff, but actually cares for who they like. They only act like that cause they can't really explain how they feel!"
"You looked this up?"
"I wanted to try it! I would say it worked out well." Sayori said proudly, as Alex just looked at her.
"Are you bored or something?"
"N-No!" She said a bit defensive. Even pouting about it as she looked at him. "I wanted to do this, I thought it would be fun."
"Okay then." He said to her. "Did you actually wanna see my poem or not?"
"Eh, not really." She said, despite her words she leaned her way in to look. "Wow, only one sentence."
"I'm having writers block." You say to with a big sigh. Looking over to the girl. "Not for me I guess."
"You just need to write about something else, write about Tsundere's!" Sayori said loudly as Alex had to chuckle.
"I don't think so. Maybe I'm just gonna give up and stop. Do something else."
Suddenly, another girl came into the room as they turned their heads. Natsuki, walking in with a massive box of what's easy to assume Manga.
Being the good guy he was raised to be, Alex just had to comment. "Hey Natsuki, need some help with that box?"
"N-No!" She said looking his way. "I can carry it! I don't need your help!"
"Geez, fine... I was just asking." Alex said as he was gonna continue his conversation with Sayori, just letting Natsuki do her own thing. However as he looked over, Sayori had stars in her eyes. "Sayori?"
"She's so good! H-Hey Natsuki, can I help!"
"I said I can do it myself. I don't need your help!" Natsuki said as Alex watched her reaction.
Chuckling. "Yeah, you can't beat the genuine article." He said to her.
"Maybe she can teach me! I wanna be as good as her!" Sayori got up and got moving.
Alex thought about this for a couple of seconds, until he had to chuckle. "Okay, let's watch this."
"Natsuki!" Sayori chimed in, as she put down the box of manga. The smaller girl looking over to her friend. "Can you teach me!?"
"Teach you? Teach you what?"
"How to be a Tsundere!" Sayori said excitedly. Bringing her face really close to her friend, who was of course just confused about it. Eventually she looked to Alex, who talked to her.
"She wants to learn to be a Tsundere. It's a-"
"I know what it is." Natsuki finished as he was just left confused about it once again. "I don't like being called that. Monika calls me that all the time."
"Cause you are so it! Come on, please! Teach me on wise master..." Sayori said playing around and bowing to her. Alex had to chuckle from the side.
"Fine, i'll teach you. You got to know though, that I don't take a serious. I want promises as well! Some favours for later."
"Yep!" Sayori said giving it away. Natsuki smiled. She doesn't mind being the master, not to mention she was gonna get favours for it.
She walked forward and turned around, smiling to Sayori.
"Okay, Class 101 of being Natsuki!"
"Being a Tsundere..." Sayori commented getting a glare.
"I'm not a Tsundere! Alex, do you think i'm a Tsundere!"
"That... is a loaded question. One I am not going to answer." He said looking away from her. Very bitter about that.
"W-Whatever, just stand up already."
"W-what?"
"We need a test subject! Sayori, get him up!" She said, as she listened. Sayori moved around giggling and lifted him up next to her.
"I don't wanna do this."
"Neither do I," Natsuki commented as she forced Alex to stand there. "But Sayori has got to learn!"
"Learn what, to be like you?" he had to question as she gave out a huff.
"Whatever, just stand there like I said!"
"Yeah stand there!" Sayori added as Alex frowned. Is he seriously just going to get yelled at.
"Okay, so how do we do it?" Sayori said very eager about it. "From what i've seen, it involves being mean cause you don't want to show that you care!"
Natsuki thought about this before laughing. "You don't know. You talk down to them, cause you are better than them. Watch and learn."
Natsuki walked over to Alex and looked up to him. Suddenly, she pushed her finger right to his face. "Don't think just because you are taller that you are better than me! I'm smarter and cuter!"
"What?"
"You need to show who's in charge." Natsuki said, ignoring Alex. "Now you try Sayori."
"Got it!" Sayori said with a giggle, walking over to Alex. She walked over and wore a smile on her face.
"Alex, in the real world you are dead! Your body is probably under-"
"Sayori!" Alex interrupted.
"N-Not like that!" Natsuki said pulling her friend to the corner.
"Y-You don't need to be that mean to him!" She whispered, although Alex could hear.
"Oh, so I got to be... medium mean."
"Yes, medium mean." Natsuki corrected. They both split up and walked over to Alex.
"Do you know, that you are ugly!" Sayori said.
"You already said that Sayori?"
"So ugly, that even the ugly duckling doesn't wanna look at you!" She said again.
"Not bad Sayori, keep it up!"
"Don't encourage this Natsuki!"
"You are so ugly, that when you look at the mirror it breaks!" Sayori said, rather cheerfully.
"I'm not gonna just stay here to get berated." Alex said, moving around. It was kind of cute when it started, now he was more ticked off than anything.
"No! Alex! Stay please I beg you! I need to learn this. I-If it's about what I said then I am sorry!"
"Look, Sayori she is just tricking you to be rude. Plus, that isn't even how Natsuki acts." Alex said to both of them. They blink for a couple of seconds
"Y-Yeah it is. I talk down to you, because i'm better than you." Natsuki said, crossing her arms and being stubborn.
Which just made Alex laugh. "No it isn't, you act tough but you are actually a really sweet girl. You hate it when we figure this out though. You hate being looked down on, but you love being looked at."
"T-That's absurd! Stop telling lies!" Natsuki said, with a noticeable blush on her face.
"You are the one who is lying Natsuki. Not to mention, you are teaching poor little Sayori bad habits!"
"No i'-
"I know what to do!" Sayori chimed in between the two. Very happy. "If you don't think that is what a Tsundere Alex, then show me. Show us how Natsuki acts!"
There was a moment of silence, until Alex couldn't help but crack a smile. "Okay, sure let's go."
"Wait?"
"No wait! Let's go!" Sayori said, grabbing Natsuki's hand and dragging her to a pair of chairs. Sayori smiled as she got them both to sit down. "Okay, show us Alex!"
He couldn't help but smirk while doing this. He walked right over and grabbed the box.
The box of manga that Natsuki brought in here. Lifting it up without much problem. With his bigger frame, he found he had less trouble.
"Hey what are you doing with my manga?" Natsuki barked, getting him to smirk at her.
With the best acting that he could really muster. "W-What do you care idiot! It's my own business! You don't need to know everything about me!"
"Ohh, he's so good at being you Natsuki!" Sayori said in amazement.
"That sounded nothing like me!" Natsuki shouted, and Alex saw his chance.
"T-That sounded nothing like me, stop trying to copy me!"
"Stop trying to... hey!" Natsuki shouted angrily, getting laughs from both sides. "Stop making fun of me!"
"Alex, can you teach me how to be a Tsundere like you!?" Sayori begged, getting him to laugh about it and joke.
"Nah i'm good." He said to her. "Just don't listen to Natsuki. She may be a Tsundere, but she clearly has no idea what she is talking about."
"I do so!" Natsuki said. He was going to joke back, but clearly... it was not worth it at this point. Natsuki was not happy. Her eyes shaking and her teeth barred.
"Hey Natsuki, i'm only playing with you. I didn't mean anything I said. It was only to be taken playfully."
"I don't like you making fun of me!" She shouted back. "Especially you!"
A long pause, a real long pause.
"What does that mean?" Alex questioned, wanting to know if he was going to be honest.
Natsuki lowered her head down to him, not showing what she was thinking. Until she raised her smile. "N-Nothing! I'm just joking with you two! Look at us, both playing around. Hahahaha!"
This left him more confused as he just looked at her. Not really understanding what she meant.
"Natsuki?"
"Actually, I was playing Tsundere the entire time! That concludes the lessons Sayori!"
"I can't believe it." Sayori said. "Not only do we have the Tsundere who hides her true feelings, but also the oblivious main character who doesn't understand what's happening!"
"What's happening exactly?" Alex questioned, almost like he was solidifying it.
"Nothing. Nothing is happening." Natsuki said staring at Sayori.
"Hehe, I guess nothing happened." Sayori said giggling a bit.
"Are we done here then?" Alex said, moving around and back to his desk. "It was weird you two, I can say that."
"Hey, we still got one more thing to do!" Sayori said grabbing her chair and moving next to him. Sitting across. "We got to finish your Poem!"
"I said I was going to abandon it." Alex said back to Sayori, but she was not going to take it.
"Come on, we just gave you a whole show about Tsunderes. Show us what you got!"
"Us?"
"I wanna see too!" Natsuki said on the other side of him. Pulling up a chair as she looked over his shoulder as well. He simply sighed, and started writing.
"I learned nothing about Tsunderes, except that they can get pretty crazy."
"No, you can't end it there. Nothing rhymes with crazy!" Natsuki scolded.
"Lazy does." Sayori replied, as Natsuki had to give her that one.
"Although I learned a few things about my friends. Like Natsuki being lazy."
"Hey! I'm not lazy!" She barked as both Alex and Sayori laughed. "Say you are lazy. don't peg that on me."
"Fine, how about... for me to truly understand Tsundere's, I can't be lazy."
"... I can allow it."
"One more rhyme. You got this!" Sayori said.
"I know Natsuki is one, I know Sayori isn't herself."
"I know that... girls. What rhymes with herself?"
A long silence, until Sayori commented. "Wow, you have no idea what you are talking about. Do you?"
"Look i'm trying!" He yelled to them. "This was so much easier when I did it with Yuri. Maybe I should-"
"You did it with Yuri?" Natsuki questioned back, getting Alex to pause and think about it for a couple more seconds.
"Y-Yeah, she did help me before. But I-"
"We are writing a Poem now!" Natsuki yelled. She was determined now. Her hand on his shoulder.
"What? Why so suddenly determined?"
"I-it's nothing important idiot! I just want you to write!" Natsuki replied as she leaned her way in.
"Oh, there it is." Sayori said, almost squeaking about it as she can't help but show she was excited about it.
Regardless, they both started to write, writing about Tsunderes but funnily enough. It went from writing to Natsuki. However neither of them knew about it.
"Okay, I got it!" Alex said lifting it up with a smile. "You girls wanna hear?"
"Yep!"
"Sure do." Natsuki said after Sayori. Both of them smiling about it.
'She may be fierce, but that is one of her strengths.
She may be wild, but that is one of her strongest pairs.
Because despite her size, attitude or size.
He greatest strength, is her care.'
"Hmm... not half bad. However, I think i'm done writing for now."
"I'm gonna hang this on the fridge." Sayori giggled. Getting both Alex and Natsuki to question. 'We have a fridge?'
Sayori got up and moved away, transporting through the door as Alex and Natsuki were left sitting next to each other.
"Just so you know, those things I did before. I didn't mean to make you feel hurt. Just messing with you." Alex said. She probably knows, but it has to be said.
"It's fine, I knew. Say..." She said looking at him with a smile. A cute smile that very rarely goes on her face. "If you want... we can read some manga together!"
