Mai was not in the classroom.
I wonder if she is now shedding tears and reporting to the teacher in the staff room about what happened yesterday. ……
Mai is a former idol.
Moreover, considering the series of actions from yesterday, it is hard to believe that she is not an idol
Is there really a chance for me to win? ……
I managed to put on a poker face, sat down in my seat, and looked out the window.
The window is a dim reflection of the classmates beside me looking in my direction.
“Hey,…… did you hear about that guy,…… he seems to be the younger brother of that half-beautiful transfer student from …… third grade. How could such a dull guy have such a beautiful sister? They don’t look alike at all.”
“It seems like a lot of beautiful women have been appearing around him lately. Even Minazuki-san from yesterday…or maybe it was a misunderstanding…anyway, even though it was a misunderstanding, she still hugged him…I’m so jealous”
My classmates, who are always talking loudly, are hushing their voices so that I can’t hear them.
I could not really hear what they were saying because of this.
However, it was obvious from their suspicious behavior and facial expressions that it was not a good thing.
Soon, it was homeroom, and the homeroom teacher entered the classroom.
It was exactly the same pattern as usual, but the homeroom teacher’s attitude was a little odd.
She glanced at me, looked at Mai’s seat, and let out a sigh.
“I’ll take your attendance …… and Minazuki-san is absent huh……”
And there, the homeroom teacher sighed meaningfully again.
And after taking all the attendance, the homeroom teacher said, “Oh …… and Saeki-kun, please come to the staff room during lunch break.”
At that moment, my heart skipped a beat.
I had expected this, but I was still shocked.
And at that point, I realized.
I knew …… that things had taken a turn for the worse, just as I had predicted.
Needless to say, I couldn’t get through the rest of the class.
In no time at all, it was lunchtime and my homeroom teacher,
“Saeki-kun,…… a little bit.”
She came all the way to my seat and urged me to get out of my seat.
I felt as if she was watching me to make sure I didn’t run away.
I wondered if this is what it was like to be arrested.
I headed for the staff room, picturing in my mind’s eye a criminal being taken away, as I often see in TV dramas.
I thought we would be talking in the teacher’s room, but my homeroom teacher let me through to a private room next to the teacher’s room.
“Well …… sit down. Saeki-kun.”
As recommended by my homeroom teacher, I sit on the chair in front of me.
The truth is, I feel like running away right now, but I still have enough rationality not to do so.
The homeroom teacher, with a hushed voice,
“Saeki-kun,…… you are Mizunashi-san’s fiancee–“
“I-I’m innocent …!”
I really wanted to tell a persuasive excuse that I had thought up in my head.
But my mind went blank at the time, and all I could say was this
I couldn’t even pronounce the word properly because I chewed it.
“Eh…… not? But, Minazuki san–“
“S-she is …… Mai, no, no, Minazuki-san has always been …… a liar ….. “
It’s the worst thing to do to say bad things when the person in question isn’t around, but you can’t change your feelings.
This is …… self-defense if you ask me.
But I wonder if my argument will really be accepted. ……
No,…… perhaps a poor excuse would have had the opposite effect.
In the eyes of the homeroom teacher, I’m now just a lousy bastard who disses his childhood friends behind their backs.
