I m No Heroine

In an unknown High School, each classroom was informed of their incoming excursion to a famous park. A place full of wild animals found in North America.

Within a particular classroom, Mrs Browns carefully instructed her beloved students what to bring and what not to bring. Listing down the do's and dont's. As well as to remind everyone of their group allocation. Students were meant to write a 3-page essay by the end of the 2-night 3-day trip, which caused a huge portion of her students to wail in despair.

They tried to negotiate of course...

"Please make it a maximum of 2000 words, please!!"

"Better yet, I'll buy you souvenirs Mrs Browns! And since you love me, please allow me to skip writing the essay~"

"Not fair! I'll steal an animal for you, Mrs Browns. My offer stands until we get back."

Unfortunately, Mrs Browns was a righteous teacher. With her ever genteel demure, she spoke. "There is always the other option of not handing it in of course..." Flashing her beautiful smile, she continued. "But they will ultimately be left to do the weeding behind our school. I'm sure there are more wild animals there that you can admire in-between."

After hearing as such, none could argue no more. Amidst this ruckus, four particular students stood out without doing anything special in particular.

Raize, the class representative, was currently crowded by a bunch of girls fighting over their group arrangement. "Exchange with me! Me!"

"No, please. Who's number 14? Please switch with me..!!"

"Raize marry me~!!"

Their cries sounded so desperate as their shrills piercing.

On the other side, there were Ulla and Crystal, the vice class representative and her fraternal twin sister. Being in the same group, most male students tried to switch their numbers with someone else to get the chance to get closer with the two beauties.

However, once they realized that the last two members of the group were Lea and Bright who were sitting at the back quietly, they became hesitant. Then, as more and more students realized it was impossible to exchange lot number, the classroom grew more and more quiet.

Bright has been looking at them bemused, his hands resting behind his head. His handsome face charming some of the girls, while his mischievous appearance causing the males to remember his fame. He was quite different amongst the rest due to being part of the top 20 in the whole school, as well as a Jack-Of-All-Trades in the many sports club. His name was known to many on campus.

When most of his classmates attention was on him, he glanced down to his seatmate who was quietly snoring beside him. Her face was facing the other way.

Suddenly, he felt like teasing her.

Poke.

There was no reaction from her and she continued to sleep peacefully.

Poke. Poke.

His smile widening, he could feel her moving slightly.

Poke. Poke. Poke.

Their classmates were slowly backing away to the front, beside Mrs Browns. Their expressions unreadable, while Mrs Browns could only gulp nervously. She too was helpless with the famous pair.

Poke. Poke. Po—ke. Po—k-- --!

With swift movements, a slap almost hit his face, but it was obvious the strength was nothing to laugh at as it made a great sound of the wind.

"You dare wake me up this way....." Growled Lea, unearthing her table and raising it above her head.

Despite this, Bright remained smiling, only pointing at the crowd at front. "Tee-hee." He said, acting adorable with his charming blue eyes that were narrowed to crescents.

Slowly turning her head, some hair strands sticking to her face, her classmates gazed at her fearfully. Even Mrs Brown silently gulped once again, eyes bulging wide like a deer in fright.

Lea's eyes widened. Heat slowly rose to her head, tainting her face with a faint blush.

Slowly, she put down the table gently and quietly. Not a sound was heard as it landed on the cement floor. And as quiet as a mouse, she meekly sat back down on her seat. She then rested her hand on her chin, looking out the window, acting as if nothing happened. She even forgot to blink.

Bright burst out laughing. "Ha ha ha!! It was about time you woke up, Lea~"

She simply ignored him.

Seeing as her reaction was contrary to their expectation, the rest slowly went back to their seats, releasing a big relieved sigh amidst their steps.

Along the buzzing sounds, Lea whispered so only Bright could hear, "If you do that again, I'll kill you."

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead while faking a laugh. "Ha ha... Not gonna stop me, sweetheart. Especially when we are gonna be spending loooots of time in the trip!" For a moment, his smile seemed brilliant and genuine as his blue eyes sparkled with glee.

On the day of the trip, a crowd and four busses were laid on the campus central grounds. Students were divided by groups, given group tags and announced reminders to one another. The most popular group included.

"Ulla and Crystal Fernandez?" Called Raize. As his voice resounded, many young girls swooned at his attractive husky voice devoid of emotion.

"Both here, Class Pres!" Replied, Crystal energetically. Her equally beautiful sister nodding her head while showing off their luggage.

"Lea Rain Farechild? Okay, good." Knowing the person was already ready, but dazed, he did not bother to wait for her response. He briefly looked at her and went back to his sheet of paper.

"Bright." Not even a surname, he called. A frown creased his handsome face seeing a huge number of luggage behind the mischievous boy...

"Heey~ Present!" His arm shot up with a playful smile. Some girls covered their eyes due to his brightness, his blue eyes were particularly stunning.

"Okay, good. Leave 4 of those then get in the bus." Spoken coldly, Raize turned around to get in the bus himself.

Looking up the grey sky, Lea quietly muttered. "Rain..."

She appeared dazed as usual, but with her movements that were neither slow nor fast, she brought out a cute raincoat with cat ears and a tail. Seeing her adorable getup, Bright couldn't help but squeal silently while pushing her into the bus.

Rain awash the road, causing their arrival to the Wildlife Park a little late. It was still drizzling quite a bit when the students got down from their respective bus.

After they properly put their luggage in their room, there were a few groups who decided to explore the park despite the weather. They were much too excited to hold back despite the teachers' reminders.

"The sooner we see everything, the earlier we finish our essays.

"Ulla, find us a guide.

"Crystal, accompany your sister.

"You two, don't get lost." Ordered Raize one after another.

Not long after, their group was set and they begun their early exploration.

The tour guide was a lanky youth. He described each habitat cheerfully while not missing the crucial pointers.
