The next day.
I arrived at school at the same time as usual and sat in the back row seat by the window.
Hopefully, I would have liked to be in the very back, but I was in the second row from the back.
By the way, the seat behind me was…
“Good morning.”
“G-good morning.”
This is my ex-girlfriend seat, Tsukise Yuika.
She is taking out her luggage from her bag in an absent minded manner.
It seems that she greeted me as usual.
“Hey, can I ask you something?”
As I was feeling somewhat nervous, Yuika poked me on the shoulder.
I turned my body and looked back at her.
“Y-yeah….what is it?”
“I wonder if I like you, Takuto?”
You’re asking me that. ……
“Even if you ask me that.”
“R-right. …….I thought a lot about it, and I should’ve dumped Takuto. The first time I heard that Takuto was going out with Onee chan, I was really bothered. So, I said some terrible things to you, Takuto. …….That’s why, I’m sorry about…..yesterday.”
“It’s fine. Don’t bother apologizing.”
“I see? I mean, after all, why did you go out with Onee chan, Takuto….”
Yuika suddenly became irritated and glared at me.
But Yuka’s voice was drowned out by the sudden appearance of that person.
“Good morning ! Darling !”
“Whoa !? Wait, what is it suddenly !?”
Rina san raised her cheerful voice and grabbed both of my hands tightly.
She was shaking them up and down with a smile that was as bright as the sun.
“Aren’t you happy that your beloved girlfriend came to see you?”
‘I’m not, because I’m getting all the attention.”
“You’re not honest.”
“P-please don’t roll around like that.”
She pressed my cheeks with her index finger.
Even though we were dating, this distance is too close…….I was about to lose control for some reason.
“Hee….. Are you guys that close already?”
The ice-cold voice passed down my spine.
I turned around and saw Yuika resting her chin in her hand while staring at us with a wild look in her eyes.
“I-it’s not that we’re close or anything, it’s just that Rina san’s sense of distance is bugging me……”
“Jealous?”
Rina san cut me off and provoked Yuika.
Yuika turned away in a huff.
“Not really.”
“I see. I’m really going to snatch him away, you know? Takuto kun, I mean.
“Do as you please. I mean, why are you always asking me, who’s a self-centered person?”
“Are you still bothered by what happened yesterday?”
“I don’t care.”
“It doesn’t look that way to me……”
Rina san muttered to herself in exasperation.
Come to think of it, the area around my desk had completely become the center of the classroom.
The gazes from my classmates waved from one to another.
“That bastard, this time he even laid his hands on the sister…!”
“What kind guy is laying his hand on the sister…..”.
“Go to hell.”
“You mean he broke up with Tsukise san and went out with her sister?”
“Shimaidon….”
They probably thought that they were talking in a whisper, but we can hear them. That last guy, I’m going to hit him personally later on.
“What do you want from me in the first place? If I ask you to give Takuto back, will you give him back?
“Well, I don’t think so.”
“Then what you’re doing is puzzling.”
“Don’t ask me to return him back, instead come and take him away. Isn’t that what you should do?”
“… Well, that’s right. But I don’t have any intention of doing that.”
“Then I can flirt with Takuto kun without any worries.”
“You can do whatever you want, but why don’t you at least pick a place?”
“Don’t want to.”
“Huh?”
Yuika raised her voice in bewilderment at Rina san’s immediate refusal.
Rina san’s gaze turned to me.
“Takuto kun, open your hand.”
“E-etto, like this?”
When I opened my right hand and raised it to the height of my chest, and Rina san put her hands on top of mine.
The two of us grasp each other’s fingers so that they are entangled, and we’re trying to make contact that is only allowed for lovers.
Isn’t this person a little too aggressive ……?
“I-I’m embarrassed.”
“Ehehe. Oh yeah, let’s exchange contact information. We haven’t done it yet.”
“Oh, yes. Are you just going to leave it like this?”
“Is that not okay?”
Rina san said that in a sweet voice.
My heart skips a beat.
“No, I mean, it’s hard for me to….get my phone.”
“I think love is about feeling inconvenience.”
“Do you think you should say something like that?”
“Ahaha, did they find out?”
Rina san laughed lightly but she wouldn’t take her hands off me.
I had no choice but to operate my phone with my left hand only.
Despite the inconvenience, I succeed in displaying the QR code for adding friends without much trouble.
“Here.”
“Hmm.”
Rina san read the QR code, and the exchange of our contact information was complete.
Rina san loosened her cheeks in satisfaction and removed her hand from mine.
“Then, see you later.”
“Oh, okay. See you.”
Rina san left the classroom, and the tense atmosphere loosened up.
As I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt a sharp gaze from my back.
“…Your compatibility seems good. Much better than with me.”
“I-is that so?”
Yuika put her chin in her hands and turned her gaze to the scenery through the window.
She clearly ignored me.
Even though I have a vague feeling, I turn my face to the blackboard side.
I wondered why I was being treated like this after she’s the one who dumped me in the first place.
I felt that my feelings for Yuika were gradually cooling down.
