"Thanks again for helping us!"
"No problem."
"I am not going to say that they can ask me again if they need help or maybe should I say it…"
"If you need help again you guys can ask me."
"Why did I say this…sigh, I need to see the results in the end."
"O-okay, really, I thought that it was maybe to exhausting for you?! But if really is okay then sure!"
Two hours later
"It's already late I think I should go home…"
"Okay, see you tomorrow in school!"
"Ha-ha yeah, bye!"
"I never thought that something like this could be so exhausting!"
"But one good thing it has, I have now connections in this class; best case would be if we meet but without studying!"
Julian came come, still a bit wet, but he was so exhausted again that he just changed his clothes and felt exhausted in a deep sleep.
"Yawns…I slept pretty well, I wonder when they are going to ask me again?"
In school…
"Hmm, she doesn't answer me, weird, she doesn't even receive the message, we have a break, and we are in neighbor classes, I can be there in seconds."
"The six are all here, I just go in and ask them."
"Hello!" Julians was thinking again about how bad they are in math and needed to force his smile."
"Oh, hello, is something, your visit seems a bit random?"
"Oh, I am sorry I can also go again if you want?!"
"No, no stay if you want."
"To be honest, it was pretty fun helping you in math, so I was asking if you need help again or in something different!" That it was fun for him was one of the biggest lies he could tell someone.
"R-really, it seemed as you were annoyed yesterday but if it was really so fun, we still need some help anyways!"
They discussed a bit what day everyone has time to; after talking a bit, they decided to meet on Monday because today and the weekend no one has really time."
"Okay so see you guys on Monday, bye!"
"So one weird thing is in this class was that the rest of the class not only look at me also at the others like they were outsiders and are don't belonging there, they were also staring at me and the others, they seem as they only want be under themselves without any outsiders and this six in their class, am I imagine this or is it really like this?"
This weekend was like the one before a good regeneration for Julian and now he was on the way to the liberty for studying and he was still not sure "Should I ask them or not about the class?!"
"Hello guys, how are you?"
"Hi, I think we are good beside in math, Hihi!"
The studying was slightly better than last time, they studied for shorter time, and they also were better now; they decided to drink something again afterwards, Julian wanted to ask them about their class.
"Guys, could I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"You surely remember when I was in your class right?"
"Of course, how should we forget?"
"I may sound crazy but it felt as the stares of your classmates almost as a threatening and it also felt as they only want to be under themselves and want to have to do with no outsiders, but it also felt like they also see you guys as outsider?!?"
"Sigh…you are really right, so before I explain more I need to explain something different, when we six firstly came in that class we were confused that every others out of our class didn't wanted to have anything to do with us, we were already going to the principle, beside that he did nothing he was telling us something interesting, you maybe already noticed that there are many classes that have many people that are similar, he also said that it is not an accident, they give students that are similar much more likely in one class, the class we are in is actually a family, it sounds crazy but all the classmates there are in some way related, the family doesn't wants to do anything with outsiders, but often also some come in a class that are not similar to the others, and that are we in this class.
"Are you joking or something?"
"No everything I was telling is true or at least that's what the principle told us, we even recorded it, do you want to hear it?"
"O-okay."
He was listening to the audio recording and was shocked to really hear the principle's voice.
In the audio recording the principle also said why the school does this, it should that people are under same people what makes them more comfortable, but this excuse sounds weird for Julian but needs to accept it for now.
They all calmed down and still had a nice evening, after time they were all going but actually this information is not just something mind-blowing but chances nothing, it chances a lot!"
"If people are really very similar in most classes this can be an advantage or disadvantage based on how the class is, if a class is very similar, there is a high chance that the whole class likes me; or not, I think it makes no sense to try to get into the rest of the class."
"To be honest I think already reached a milestone, I think because I am so popular in the 2-1, I can say I officially not just in the one thousand but also in the top nine-hundred and eighty´s."
"The next milestone is to get in the top nine-hundred and sixty's and so on until I am in the top nine hundred."
"I don't know why but I didn't used my new rope ability not much, I think using it more often can help pretty good!"
"Becoming popular in the classes worked well beside that one but I think I can move on now to the next one, the next one is class 2-4, their class is somewhere I rarely am, so it will interesting what type of people that are, now that I now that it's very common that similar students are in one class.
Now that the weekend was over, he could begin again, the two last times he was going for a walk in the school or in the schoolyard and by accident something happened that helped him a lot.
This time he also tried it, his inner expression was just a light ironic, humorous smile.
"The two last times were pure luck, but for getting ideas walking is still great, if I think now, I was almost never going here where class 2-4 and 2-5 are!"
He was only walking by the class 2-4 and there were two students from this class, recognizing Julian.
"Hey, wait is you not the one that placed with your team second place?!"
"Yes, he is!" The other one intervened.
"Wait in this class people know me? If plenty other also do it could be easy as fuck!"
Over time many students, only from class 2-4, were crowding around Julian and asked him questions. "What was your secret to be faster than Saotome who is one of the fastest racers in the whole school?" or "Do you think you and your team can beat them next year?" And plenty other questions, also typical ones about America, around ten minutes later even a teacher needed to intervene because they were too loud!
"Sigh…finally they are away; I want to be popular but to be honest one thing never could understand, why do people like popular people? What do I mean now if there is a very popular musician, why do people have much interest in the musician? Do they think he is some kind of different human then the fans, beside that he is a good musician not much and why do people always mix artist with their work?"
"But anyways, enough of such questions, they are not changing everything, thinking about things that don't chance a thing are useless and a waste of time, wasting time is the worst thing I can do right now!"
"So this is like the guys from the student council must feel like, sigh…even though those guys are very annoying I need to see the positive behind it, it will be very easy, I will also go there and make it look like I just stand there by accident, until tomorrow I have time to prepare myself for those annoying fans…eye rolling."
The next day he woke hope sighing multiple times, preparing himself mentally, his whole life he was antisocial and alone, being surrounded by so many people suddenly can be very annoying and overwhelming.
"I think I am ready now, my plan is simple, in the lunch break I will go there and act like it is an accident I am right there and to let it look more realistic I do something on my phone, doesn't really matter what, I can also open my calculator and act as I am texting with someone.
Being popular in two classes is one thing but getting crowded by so many is something far different. "My plan is just to be charming and kind, me being already popular in this class will do the rest."
"Show time!" Internally he had a big, excited smile because it was so easy.
