Chapter 8:

Welcome to the Boys Group Chat

The Boys Group Chat


Lucky’s sniggering manages to break through the anxious illusions of Genkei’s negative thoughts that created a fake reality of everyone insulting and degrading him. This brought Genkei back to reality.

“Hahahahahahaha!” Lucky couldn’t control himself to stop sniggering.

Everyone had perplexed expressions on their faces as they all found it rude and disrespectful for Lucky to laugh at someone’s else insecurity. Ren became triggered in anger and grabbed Lucky by the shirt.

“Oi, Lucky! You're taking the piss right now! I know you have a sharp tongue but this time you're going over the top!” as her angry eyes lock into Lucky.

Lucky wasn’t even fazed by Ren and continued to laugh which even caught her off guard.

“Genkei, you’re really funny. Do you know that?” Lucky had a fat innocent grin.

Genkei, who was overthinking about scenarios that never happened was speechless to hear Lucky’s words. Lucky stretched out his hand to pull Genkei from his knees.

“I can tell just by meeting all of you today, that our time at university is going to be super, super fun! Imagine all the stuff we're going to experience and can’t wait to share it with all of you guys!” Lucky expresses himself with happiness.

This happiness spreads along with everyone else and they all started to crack small smiles at each other.

“This guy…” Dai said to himself as he was impressed by him.

“Your too weird Lucky, you know that?” Ren releases him and puts her hand on her head as she’s getting tired.

Lucky giggles in response.

“Anytime, I’m starting to feel sleepy too, so I’m heading to bed. Since I don’t know Yoko’s room, I’m just gonna let her sleep with me but anyway goodnight numbskulls.

Ren leaves the kitchen with Yoko leaning on her while she’s sleepwalking. Yoko then slightly opened her eyes and noticed a slight smile from Ren.

“Ren-ren, you look happy, what did I miss?” Yoko yawns as she’s beginning to wake up.

“Ren-ren? Do I look happy? Maybe just like Lucky, I’m also looking forward to this year with those numbskulls. Doesn’t seem like it will get boring around here. Anyway, for our first night, do you want to do a sleepover in my room?” Ren replies with a smirk.

“Yayyy, sleepover, I call dibs on the bed.” Yoko sluggishly said.

“Oi! That’s my bed you numbskull!” Ren said.

As only the boys remained in the kitchen, Lucky came up with an idea.

“Hey, I know! Let’s create a boy's group chat! With only us four involved! What d'ya think?“

“I’m liking that idea!” Dai was high-strung about it.

“According to my calculations, having a group chat will allow us to communicate with each other efficiently about the latest news on campus,” Nerdy explains.

“Aren’t we group chatting right now?” Kaito said.

“But what are we going to call the group chat?” Genkei asks.

“We can just call it something simple like… ‘Mandem GC’” Lucky said.

“ ‘Mandem GC’? What does that mean?” Kaito asked.

“It literally just means a group of guys and ‘GC’ stands for group chat.” Lucky explains.

“Wow, that is very simple!” Kaito seems impressed.

“ I also think that’s a very nice and easy name.” Nerdy agrees.

“The name sounds like it can ring,” Genkei said.

“ I love the name! I love it! I love it! Everyone, give your phone numbers to Lucky. He will be the admin of this group chat.” Dai couldn’t hold himself back.

“Nah, you can be admin Dai.” Lucky rejects.

“What!? Are you sure?! Thank you dadd-”

Quickly as the scene changes… phew, I don’t even want to know what Dai was going to say next.

Anyway, moments later…everyone is in their room. Ren and Yoko are sleeping together on a bed in Ren’s room. Nerdy is using his laptop while his legs are curled up. Kaito is doing push-ups while his suitcase is on his back, Genkei is playing video games, Dai is pulling weird expressions while he’s on the toilet, and finally Lucky is lying on his bed while using his phone.

BING!

A notification sound that Lucky, Genkei, Nerdy, and Kaito have received at the same time. They all look to see where it came from on their smartphones,

Notification: Mandem GC created by DAI-DAI.

DAI-DAI: Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! Kiddos! 🙈

Genkei: I thought this is a boys' group chat only?

Nerdy: I was thinking the same. I haven’t seen any boy using the monkey emoji… according to my calculations. ¯_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

Kaito: Maybe someone has Dai’s phone?

Lucky: 😂

Lucky: What a bitch.

DAI-DAI: Shut up lucky! And it is me! I am Dai!

Genkei: Why is your font like that? Change it.

DAI-DAI: No. I like it!

Nerdy: And he also calls himself DAI-DAI…Weirdo ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)

DAI-DAI: Who here also saved Junichiro as Nerdy.

Genkei: ✋

Kaito: ✋

Lucky: 😕

Lucky: What was his real name again?

Nerdy: SCREW YOU GUYS! AND THAT’S NOT FUNNY LUCKY! DAI JUST TYPED IT IN THE CHAT!! ᕙ( ︡'︡益'︠)ง

DAI-DAI deleted a message.

DAI-DAI: Type what?

Nerdy: (ㆆ_ㆆ)

Lucky: 😂😂😂

Lucky: Why do you use punctuation for your emojis? Your really a nerd😂

Nerdy: Be quiet! It’s the creativity that counts!

DAI-DAI: Anyway guys I think we all know the real purpose of this group chat being formed, right?

Genkei: Obviously.

Lucky: Of course.

Nerdy: Whatever, go on.

Kaito: Isn’t the group chat made so that we can keep check-ups on each other.

DAI-DAI: What girls are you guys after? I know all of us went to the campus party today, so I won’t hear any excuses from anyone! Which girl is your target?
