It’s been a week since the new semester started.

    I have no friends.

    It’s not a particularly important issue.

    High school is not a place to have fun, but rather a place to get an education, so it’s okay if you don’t have any friends.

    Even though public education is not just a space for acquiring knowledge, but also a coming-of-age ceremony for the socialization process, those who have already experienced a past life do not need to learn how to make friends, how to talk to friends, etc. I am definitely a member of society.

    “Hey…, do you want some marshmallows…?”

    There was a rustling sound from the seat in front.

    No. You’re not a member of society, you’re definitely a high school student.

    So, like a high school student, shouldn’t you make some friends? I don’t really need a friend, but I feel strangely inspired when Yumina takes the seat next to me as she pleases and then goes to a different seat every break to chat.

    Actually, the reason I feel this way is not because Yumina is talking about this alone during break time. This can be happen.

    But that doesn’t mean they go out to eat alone during lunch time.

    In that case, I can eat it with Do Yu-geon who is in another class. Of course, it’s not because he feels unnecessarily burdened by eating without Yumina in the middle of it, so he refuses for the same reason.

    Thanks to that, there are times when I eat alone without friends, but that can happen. When you enter college, you will inevitably have to eat alone depending on your class schedule, so you are just getting the college experience in advance.

    So, the reason I think I have no friends is not because of those reasons. Of course, it was because my mom suggested I make one more friend. As a dutiful daughter, hearing my mother’s concerns broke my heart so much, anyway.

    “But when are we going to eat…?”

    This is not a particularly dutiful daughter, so if I were to give another reason, usually when children enter first grade, they run around trying to find friends. So, like when I was in my first year of middle school, some kids should come here… … .

    He’s not coming.

    When you see something, doesn’t it make you want to say something? Do kids live without looking in the mirror?

    If you talk to them, they are willing to accept you as a friend through various screening processes. I didn’t want to do that on the first day, but now that I think about it, I feel like it would be nice to have at least one friend. Because friends are important in high school.

    Friends in college have intertwined interests, and friends in elementary and middle school often grow and change in personality, so the only people you can call friends without thinking about it are your friends in high school. If we miss this time, there will be a lot of problems in building human infrastructure. Simply put, it becomes difficult to make friends.

    But then, first of all, there has to be a group of candidates before you can choose something or not. Did I go out too early in middle school? Looking back, I didn’t do anything in particular. It would be an exaggeration to say that I was a model student, but I didn’t have any major accidents. But, as if there were rumors, no one approached me. oh my god.

    What should I do, Mom? I’m willing to make friends, but I’m having trouble with kids.

    In my head, I could hear my mom answering, “There’s nothing I can do about it.” I see If my mother is like that, I can’t help it as a daughter. I’m sorry.

    I got up from my seat and headed to the cafeteria. I guess I’ll have to eat without my friends again today. sad.

    The girl in front hurriedly put a bag of marshmallows in her bag and followed suit. Why is he following me?

    As I walked back and looked at the girl, she cowered and looked embarrassed.

    “Why why?”

    The attitude is like this, but annoyingly, he is slightly taller than this person.

    I’ve been following you for a week and I don’t know why I’m doing this. Was the sense of kinship that I felt because I got to school early on the first day so great? I wanted to ask him if he had any friends, but even after seeing him like this, he has a kind personality, so I didn’t do that yet.

    Since he’s been chasing me so hard, I can add him as a friend candidate, but unfortunately, he’s eliminated. The reason is simple. I don’t like how it looks. Just as you can make friends because you like the way they look, there are also cases where you drop out as friends just because you don’t like the way they look.

    “Why is your hair white?”

    “Originally, so…?”

    Although the school rule did not prohibit dyeing your hair, it did not mean that you should go around with noticeably gray hair. However, seeing as there is no teacher touch, I wonder if it is dyeing hair. But the eyes are actually black.

    When I lifted my short hair with my hand, even the roots were white.

    “Isn’t it because it hurts?”

    “It’s always like this.”

    Are you mixed race? As I thought before, I don’t like the way things look, so I’m eliminated as a friend. I hate white. Schrödinger ruined one of my tastes.

    I got my lunch and sat down. Today’s meal is mixed grain rice, 4 kinds of side dishes, beef stew, and kimchi. Since kimchi is a separate dish, it was not included in the side dishes. The taste is good, perhaps because the nutritionist is good. Still, it would be better if the meal was served in a buffet format. Is it not possible because of nutritional balance? It’s a shame.

    After finishing the meal, we headed to the library. It was great to kill time by looking around the library and making a list of books to read someday.

    There was an advertisement for manpower posted in front of the entrance.

    Recruitment of library members.

    The girl’s eyes lit up.

    “Are you going to do this?”

    It’s a voice that reminds me of It could mean that he’s finally found a topic to talk about, or it could be that he’s asking if he’s going to do this too.

    “no.”

    Well, what do you do? The easiest way to change a hobby is to turn the hobby you want to give up into work. The library department is good. Just get over the fact that books get heavy when piled up.

    The girl became sullen.

    Is it a club?

    Why not do something like that?

    * * *

    “No way!”

    Yumina shouted.

    “Club activities are definitely a subject that occupies regular class time. Its importance cannot be overstated. By setting and pursuing common goals, cultivating civic consciousness amidst the conflict, and moving away from subject-centered one-sided knowledge acquisition, we become knowledge users and producers. “It’s a very important time to gain experience as a professional.”

    “These things have nothing to do with me.”

    A flower was scribbled on the club official letter. I don’t know what kind of flower it is because it was drawn with just a few circles. The flower herself probably doesn’t know.

    “But no matter how much we are young ladies, we can’t say anything about not joining the club!”

    “really?”

    Yumina flinched when he spoke with a hint of doubt in his triumphant words. In my head, I must be trying to guess whether it is possible to waive the obligation to join a club with the authority of the chairman. If I were to ask the person concerned whether it is possible or not, I would reply that whether it is possible or not, my mother will not listen to such foolish behavior. In the first place, club activities are assigned during class time, so how can you not do them? It’s worth a try just to avoid going to class.

    “Still, it would be fun to be in a club.”

    Do Yoo-geon said. It’s a different class, but it’s dismissal time, so it’s in our class. Because the class is located in the farthest place, it is difficult to meet. I guess it’s an illusion that I can feel my grandfather’s shadow, right?

    “Why do you both think I’m going to try to abuse my power? I don’t go out of my way like that, do I?”

    When I asked the girl in front of me, she hesitated and then nodded. The reaction is slow.

    “In times like this, you can answer honestly. My lady wouldn’t do anything like this. I guess.”

    “Why do you put flax on the back?”

    “Anyway, our young lady also has to join a club. So, if possible, it’s better to have a club that everyone can join together, and if possible, it’s even better if it’s customized! Ta-da!”

    Yumina held up the print. This is an application for club creation.

    “Let’s create a club!”

    Not bad. As the high school was moved to a new city, existing clubs with a long history were disbanded, so creating one is a good option. Personally, it’s better to say I won’t do something among people I know than to say I won’t do it among other people who want to do something.

    “Wait a minute. I already submitted an application for the club with my friends.”

    Do Yu-geon destroyed the atmosphere. According to him, he had already talked about the club among his friends, so he submitted the application as soon as he received it. It’s just been the final hour when the teacher has printed something out, so what if I finish it during that time?

    “What did you do?”

    “Soccer club.”

    “If it’s soccer, shouldn’t there be a lot of people?”

    “Of course, we filled the number of participants. I was worried that there might be duplicate applications for the soccer club, so I already got permission from the principal last week.”

    What did you do last week when you were entering school?

    Yumina crossed her arms and groaned, as if her plan had gone awry.

    “If there are only three people, it’s not the minimum number of people.”

    Then, after much thought, he asked:

    “Is it okay if there’s a kid in our girl’s club who isn’t your friend?”

    “Anyway, there are only kids in the classroom I don’t know. I don’t even know who was included in your plan in the first place.”

    When I pointed at the girl, she looked shocked. I guess I thought they were friends.

    “Hmm. He’s a friend, right? He bounces.”

    Yumina rubbed the girl’s shoulder. My standards for friends are rough. I just shrugged my shoulders.

    “Then, I guess I’ll have to recruit a kid who’s not interested in club activities and is going into hiding as a member of the ghost club.”

    It’s a name I really like.

    “So the number of people is resolved.”

    The confidence that he can easily find at least one person stands out. Is this the confidence of a mafia boss?

    “Now it’s time to decide on the long-awaited club activity! Wow!”

    Yumina encouraged applause with both hands. The girl in the front seat looked flushed and clapped enthusiastically.

    I have something in mind for the club. It’s my second game of life, and there’s no way I didn’t even think about clubs when I entered high school.

    “Let’s keep it simple and have a gardening club.”

    “Horticulture department? That’s an unexpected request.”

    “I also have plants at home. I bring them and take care of them during club time.”

    “Plants? Could it be succulents?”

    What is a succulent? It refers to a pet plant previously made with a gardening kit. Suyuk’s name is Yumina, and this one’s name is Daepa. Since the species is Stuki, management is very simple.

    Water twice every three months.

    end.

    I could just give it water during club time. You don’t have to give it every time, and it doesn’t take a long time, so you can do nothing the rest of the time.

    “That’s not gardening!”

    “Gardening begins with watering.”

    “That’s not what gardening in the modern sense is.”

    “You’re strict.”

    Yumina sighed and looked at the girl.

    “Is there anything you want to do?”

    “me……?”

    “Yeah. Say anything. This is an idea meeting. Even if it’s nonsense, it’s okay.”

    What I’m feeling now is that I can sense kindness in Yumina’s voice. It’s different from dealing with this side… … .

    “If that’s what you want… a good night’s sleep?”

    “Deep sleep?”

    Deep sleep? It’s a very unexpected answer, but I like it.

    Yumina didn’t think this was the case, but she seemed to be lost in thought that she couldn’t bear to deny it since she said it was okay even if it was nonsense.

    “Good. Let’s get a good night’s sleep. If we wanted to make it more realistic, we could just call it a good night’s sleep research department.”

    The girl who was watching Yumina looked at me with a bright face.

    “but…….”

    Yumina opened her mouth as if she thought this was really not true.

    “No, think about it. You’re busy. There’s no time to use up your stamina for club activities. So, I’m using this time to study how to get a good night’s sleep so that I can conserve my stamina and faithfully participate in club activities.”

    It is too much to hope to enjoy a normal high school life while working hard to lead a magical girl organization.

    As if he knew that, he didn’t stop him from taking the printout and writing “Deep Sleep Research Department.” Even if club activities are abnormal, this is a youth you will not regret.

    “That won’t pass.”

    As if he couldn’t see it, Do Yu-geon said something. What do you not know? Making something happen that shouldn’t be done is called power.

    As expected, it passed easily.

    It was a good result, except for the regretful look I received from my mother, whom I ran into by chance.
