Notes

Chapter 2.

MY FIRST REBEL SIDE
———————————————————————————————————————
“Dong”. My head resounded like a church bell. Even I couldn't believe what was happening. What was that number true? 68 points... It was the first time that I was going to fail in school.

But it is true that I have had less time to study since I joined u's, and even when I have time, I'm so tired that I do not have desire to study, and my mind always goes study to the choreography…

It’s not that I have not studied, but, my grades had never fallen so much. I thought that it could give me the luxury of taking some time off from time to time. Could it be that I lost the concentration? But, still... I kept looking and sighed.
———————————————————————————————————————
My status as a student was honorable… but had more danger than you imagined. That day, when they returned our English exams. When they gave me mine, the teacher, totally confused, looked on several tests with my name and qualification.

"Ms Nishikino, is perhaps studying too hard? Studying hard is bad for the health. Go to the doctor.” she told me when she returned my exam, with an empathetic smile. “And what could that mean?" I thought, but an unexpected scene greeted me when I misspelt the role.

It is true that I didn't have much confidence, but I didn't think that it would go so wrong.

I had compassion for myself. Of course, this happens in theory, but I never thought that people could actually get these ratings... but it happened. “Would I have passed if I wasn’t in u’s?" I thought. But of course, I was in shock... It was a shock so immense that I looked like a idiot when I got home and I threw myself on the sofa in the room.

To be honest, I'm not sure of how I was able to come home first. It's rather frightening when you get run down scores. But, it always rains when you’re sad, right?

Concerned, the Ms Waki brought me éclairs and tea with milk, while I was still in my trance... my senses returned to reality slowly and looked again the test.

"Agh, none of the vocabulary was mine, right? Although they gave us new material the next day... I guess I underestimated it…" I mumbled while I ate another éclair with a large bite... and then opened the door. And there he stood, for a change, my dad had come home early.

"Oh, is a test? Let's see if you've followed endeavoring to high school.” He told me as he approached me. I could not speak for the bite that I had in my mouth. Before I knew it, he walked up to me and took the exam. “Ah." To make that noise, the éclair fell to the ground. Immediately, my dad raised his eyebrows, and his voice turned severe.

“Mm? What is going on here?" He looked again and again between the number 68 and my name, as if he could not believe what he was seeing. “He’s having the same reaction as my teacher did." I thought. "What does this mean?” I thought again.

And then, there was a flash of lightning.

I shrugged, and he continued: “Are you beginning to waver, getting a score like this on Otonoki! Firstly, I commanded you to go to Otonoki because I thought that you'd find some connections once you went, and because it would strengthen ties with the Councillor for education if you ever failed a test.”

Apart from his tedious scolding, his face is beginning to look more and more red, it began to irritate me. "But what rays?” I asked, automatically. Will he take charge of the hospital? Councillor? Or I am a pawn in chess according to my dad?

“Do not talk back to your father! According to what MS Waki tells me, you started to rush even when you didn't have summer school, as if you were a slacker. And now you get this horrible rating! Do you not feel ashamed? You have known that something like this would happen, you would have not been sent to Otonoki. I am sure that those ordinary girls were bad influence.” There was where I stopped listening.

What rays? What rays? What rays? What rays? Already it is enduring me no more. In truth it was making me angry! "But what the heck? My friends do not have nothing to do with this! I said: 'what rays?' because you were making me angry! Really, what the heck? I even wanted to go to a public school as Otonoki! You were which forced me!”

Dad was speechless to see my reaction. I did not know. So this is what he meant when you said that I needed to go to a local school if it was going to take care of the hospital? Everything that he said made sense now..
———————————————————————————————————————
What great luck. And now I'm going to feel stupid for it. He never understood how I felt! It is so obvious that to take this qualification.. It makes me feel... The worst... Aaaah! Just so I could withstand the urge to cry, I bit my lip. I turned and took the éclair that I was eating and I left without saying a word. When I went with my dad to places, I could give a light look to his face.

For a second, I saw dad with certain expression for the first time in my life. With an expression of total amazement. Hehe ♡ I'm sure that was the face he had when he saw my score of 68 was nothing compared to this.

Oh, now that I think about it, that was the first time in life I shouted to my dad. So, I'm sure the fact that his daughter, who used to say "I want to be a great doctor!" when he asked, will unleash a rebellion against his father. It must have been a big surprise for him.

After returning to my room, I felt relieved, although, I was very depressed by my score. Is this what they mean when they say "let it out"? Even so, it should be good to shout from time to time. As for Papa... Well, who cares for him?
