Ch 45
I went for a short run to school with Reika-senpai and we agreed to eat lunch together on the quiet stairs to the rooftop, where we parted ways with her.
Entering the classroom, I talk to Natsuki, my only friend.
“Good morning, Natsuki.”
“…. Who are you?
Yuya Omine? No way…. Did you forget?
“Yuya? You mean that Yuuya with long bangs and barely doing anything?”
“Natsuki, did you see me like that…”
“No, no… I don’t.”
“I’m not sure if I’m different or not. The most important thing is that you should be able to find the right one for your needs. There’s a lot going on in my life that’s changed my mood.”
“Hmmm.”
I don’t know if you knew what was going on or not, but the fact that you didn’t pursue anything is what I like about Natsuki.
By the way….
“‘Why all the buzz, by the way? Is there a new student coming in? Girls are always glancing at me, probably for Natsuki’s sake.”
“No, it’s not that. The actuality is, it’s not a good idea to be a part of the group. You’ve suddenly become so handsome and fresh that everyone is puzzled.”
“Natsuki, sometimes humility becomes sarcasm, you know?”
“Hah …. I’ve been thinking for a while that Yuya has too low self-esteem.”
“I’m still giving my opinion of myself quite high.”
” Where!?”
Natsuki is thinking too highly of me. If I had such high specs, Ichika wouldn’t have dumped me.
But now I can only thank you for dumping me. Thanks to you …. It changed my mind, filled me up, and made me feel positive. Because I fell in love with the best person who is beautiful, always sweet, smiling, sometimes selfish, and supports me when I have a hard time.
“Hey Yuuya. Why are you suddenly grinning?”
I noticed Natsuki waving his hand in the air as if to check if I was awake.
“What? Did I grin?”
“Yeah.”
….What should I do? It was unconscious. ….Let’s not think too much about Reika-senpai. It seems that I’m arbitrarily grinning.
As I was thinking about that, the door opened and my teacher entered.
“Take your seat. Um….”
I hope I can go home with Reika-senpai.
“Hey, Yuya, we’re classmates, but we haven’t connected on LIKE yet, so why don’t we exchange?”
“Oh, me too.”
“Um, that’s- ahaha.”
I don’t know why, but for the first time since I started school, I felt like I was talking to this many girls in my class.
It happened after the third period.
This school has three-hour classes in the morning and four-hour or sometimes three-hour classes in the afternoon.
After class, as I was putting away my pens and pencils, I was suddenly approached by a girl I didn’t know, and the number of girls gradually increased until I was surrounded.
It’s not good, I’m not sure if I can make it in time for my appointment with my senpai.
Natsuki, who was my confidant, had gone running to the store to buy some stuff.
I was too nervous to speak when I was surrounded by girls like this.
I’m not good at talking to girls. It seems that I can only speak fluently and happily with Reika-senpai.
Hmmm…what should I do? What should I do? Should I just ignore them and go away? Should I say no to them before I go to senpai? No matter how much I don’t like girls.
As I think about this, my vision is suddenly closed.
“Who’s this?”
“You’re Reika-senpai.”
“That’s right♪ But Yuuya-kun? What’s this all about..?”
Reika-senpai sounded dissatisfied and somewhat worried, hugging me from behind and whispering in my ear as I sat in the chair.
“Um, this is…I’ll explain it to you later, so let’s have dinner together soon, okay?”
“Muu. Okay.”
I knew I was a little late. If I had taken care of the problem earlier, this would not have happened and Senpai would not have had to worry about it.
Senpai still seemed dissatisfied, but she seemed to be in a better mood, as if she was happy to be able to eat with me.
I’m sorry then. Let go get something to eat.”
Um, yeah.
“Then, let’s go”
“Yeah♪”
Reika took my hand and intertwined our fingers. I responded by intertwining my fingers with hers, and she smiled happily.
I knew that she was totally different from other girls. I realized again that Reika is special.
