Chapter 25: I Am Also Tomie
This time, the Head Balloon returned again, but the panic it brought quickly dissipated.
Even the most important school only stopped classes for two days as a symbolic gesture, then returned to their normal schedule.
If the Head Balloon keeps coming and going every month, then students can't just attend school for half of the year, right?
Even if the school agrees, parents won't approve.
For safety reasons, Baguang Academy only used five stair classrooms, each divided into sections for different classes.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's classroom had both high school seniors facing college entrance pressure and freshmen just starting middle school.
Students from different grades sat together in the crowded classroom, where all they could see were a sea of people.
Until lunch time, Uesugi Kiyoshi still hadn't found his own happiness.
"I'm so bored!"
He was lying on the table, yawning, considering whether to acquire Baguang Academy and then transform it into a girls' school.
As for the male students, only keeping himself was enough.
"Kiyoshi, look, such a pretty girl!"
"Where? Where is she?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly perked up, leaped from his seat and was about to tiptoe to look around, but then he suddenly turned around and looked at the smiling Nakasone Kazuko.
"Ah, I was just curious. If she's pretty when you say so, how pretty must she be?"
He sat upright, gazing affectionately at the girl beside him.
"You know, Kazuko, you are the only one in my eyes!"
"Nonsense," Nakasone Kazuko said teasingly.
The shy girl turned away, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, occasional glances shimmering like water ripples, as if a classical painting of a graceful lady.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart skipped a beat, he held back his teasing words, about to boldly kiss her in front of everyone, but then someone pushed him, almost making him fall.
Who ruined my chance?
He angrily turned around, only to see a slender figure in the narrow classroom aisle, head down, bumping into students along the way without care.
Her navy blue checkered long skirt and blazer revealed she was a high school student, although young, her figure under the uniform was graceful.
"Excuse me, coming through!"
A slightly young voice entered Uesugi Kiyoshi's ears, with an unknown charm, like strands of hair reaching into his ear, tugging at his heartstrings.
What is this?
Surprised, he was about to ask when two urgent shouts sounded one after the other.
"Don't go, classmate Kawakami!"
"Kawakami, wait for me!"
A boy appeared from the front while a girl was running hastily, calling her name and blocking her way.
"Classmate Kawakami, why are you tangled with him?"
"I should be the one to say this, clearly I knew Kawakami earlier!"
The two boys stared at each other like provoked roosters, unable to fight due to the onlookers around them, finally both looked at the girl surrounded in the middle.
"Kawakami, tell us, who is your boyfriend?"
This is a gender-swapped version of a love triangle!
If you blame anyone, blame the school for forcing people who were unlikely to meet to be together, resulting in mistakes, right?
Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly became interested and watched the girl raise her head, revealing the right side of her face. Although young, her delicate features still made people feel nervous.
"Can you two be more mature? You are both my boyfriends. Can't you get along peacefully with each other?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was listening attentively, was shocked by such vulgar remarks and almost fell down.
Is this a tacky soap opera being performed in Japan?
However, the people involved were unable to accept reality as easily as the main characters in a soap opera.
Two male students froze on the spot, their faces turning pale and then green. The boy standing in front was the first to come to his senses, gritted his teeth, and reached out to grab the girl's arm.
"Kawakami, you are mine, come with me..."
"*Smack!*"
He received a heavy slap on his face, as the girl showed no mercy.
"I've said it many times, if you want me to smile, it's 10,000 yen; hold hands, 50,000 yen, if you don't pay, don't even think about touching me!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi was amazed, it was the first time he had seen such a "pure and unaffected" girl.
"Is this girl really too materialistic?"
Nakasone Kazuko glared at him, "So what? You happen to have money too."
"Don't talk nonsense, I am a gentleman, and besides, she is still a high school student!" Uesugi Kiyoshi quickly clarified himself.
But speaking of this, the girl named Kawakami did dispel a bit of the darkness in his heart.
In the end, it was because the other party was too young. Even if he had a price list in his heart, he couldn't reveal it publicly, or he would only diminish his own value.
Uesugi Kiyoshi really wanted to throw the flirtatious tricks at her face and make her write 300 movie reviews.
"By the way, why didn't Yokoshima come?"
The girl in the spotlight was unaware and began to look around.
"He promised to buy me a jewelry from Yumoku, why didn't I see him today?"
"Jewelry? Forget about it!"
The onlookers turned their heads in unison as the third boyfriend entered the scene.
He just arrived in the classroom, standing at the door with a wet protective suit, wearing a mocking expression.
"I have always hated myself for being unable to get rid of a vulgar girl like you. I often think, if there was another Kawakami in the world, it would be so much better than you!"
As he spoke, the boy turned to reveal the petite figure in a protective suit behind him.
"Finally, today I have found her, the second Kawakami who is kinder and better than you!"
The girl who followed him took off her protective suit, revealing her face completely.
The girl had soft and shiny long hair, a delicate and pretty face, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that added a touch of charm, and a slight smirk on her lips that seemed mocking.
"How is that possible?"
The materialistic girl turned around in surprise and saw someone approaching. It was as if there was a mirror between them, reflecting two identical figures.
"Hello, Tomie Kawakami."
The girl at the door put her hands together and smiled playfully.
"Let me introduce myself, I am also Tomie Kawakami."
Nakasone Kazuko couldn't help but be amazed as she looked at the two beautiful girls who looked like twins.
"It's so rare to see such similarity between two people in this world!"
She looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, only to find him with eyes tightly shut, showing a rare look of panic.
"What's wrong? Kiyoshi?"
"Don't talk, close your eyes and run fast!!!"
