No matter how confused you feel, time continues to move forward.
The day after Fujisaki and I practiced basketball together.
Today is finally the day of the sports festival. When I arrive at school, I can feel the excitement in the air.
“—–Akito kun, good morning! How are you feeling?”
Sena asks me this with more enthusiasm than anyone else.
I yawned as I walked to my seat.
“….Well, so-so. I’m a little sleepy.”
“Eh! Why, Akito kun, you idiot!”
Sena puffed out her cheeks.
It can’t be helped, I thought to myself. After what happened yesterday, there’s no way I could fall asleep easily.
“Come on, sports are all about condition! Hey, Renka, say something!”
“Eh? M-me…?”
Sena looked at Fujisaki.
But at the same time, she let out a gasp. …She must have fallen into her usual habit of turning to Fujisaki. She had forgotten that Fujisaki and I were keeping our distance.
But Fujisaki turned her gaze toward me and said,
“Akito. Let’s work hard today.”
She smiled gently.
Sena’s expression froze. Hideki, who had been talking with other boys in the corner of the classroom, hurriedly ran over to me.
“…Hey, Akito! When did you two make up?”
Hideki wraps his arm around my shoulder and whispers.
“Sorry, but I’m the one who wants to know. I have no idea what happened…”
“Oh, really? But look at Renka’s face, Akito. She looks really happy…”
Hideki tilted his chin and pointed toward Fujisaki.
Looking over, she had both hands on her white cheeks…and was still smiling broadly.
Seriously—what is happening? I wonder.
Fujisaki should hate me. But as of yesterday, I didn’t get that feeling at all. On the contrary…..what was that “I like it” really about?
◇◇◇
The first two periods were conducted as usual.
At the start of the third period, the entire grade gathered in the gymnasium. There, the male executive committee members made the opening declaration and the athletes’ oath.
…By the way, I hadn’t spoken to Fujisaki since that morning. I didn’t have the courage to talk to her, and she didn’t speak to me either. Sometimes I felt like she was smiling at me, but I decided not to worry about it.
First, a mixed-gender dodgeball game was held.
The members were everyone except the ten basketball team members. In a chaotic atmosphere, the game progressed steadily.
And after about ten minutes…
“Hahaha, sorry, Sena. We lost!”
For some reason, Hideki proudly raised his thumb.
Hideki is exceptionally athletic. He performed better than anyone else and had created a momentum that seemed poised to secure victory.
However, in the end, they lost to Team A, which had more remaining players at the timeout.
Everyone in the class understood the reason for this outcome.
“Hmph. It’s my style not to target girls.”
Sena silently punched Hideki in the face. And she did it with a regular fist.
With a cry, Hideki’s body flew through the air.
◇◇◇
After the lunch break, the second match was women’s basketball.
We decided to cheer on Sena and the others from the second floor of the gymnasium.
The match was a close contest, with neither side giving an inch and a heated battle continuing.
“Hey, Ayata.”
Teranishi kun, who was also on the basketball team, suddenly spoke to me.
“Sena chan is really cute, isn’t she? I really like active girls like Sena chan…”
His gaze was fixed on Sena, who was playing just as well as the basketball team.
Today, Sena and the others were wearing red basketball uniforms instead of their gym uniforms. The sporty outfit suited Sena incredibly well.
…That’s right. She tends to be overshadowed by Fujisaki, but Sena is quite a beauty in her own right. Her slightly childish face is certainly cute, and her friendly personality toward everyone contributes to her popularity with the boys.
“Teranishi is on Team Sena, huh? Well, I’m still on Team Renka.”
This time, Kujou kun joined the conversation.
I couldn’t help but stare at Fujisaki in her uniform—and of course, I was mesmerized by her. Her slender white limbs and healthy thighs were dazzling.
“A beauty like Renka chan is impossible to find anywhere else in the country. We’re so lucky to have someone of her caliber in our class.”
It goes without saying that Fujisaki is exceptionally beautiful.
The number of times she’s been confessed to might have reached three digits by now. …But the fact that I’ve been nervous every time is a secret.
“No, no, you don’t get it, Kujou. With a beauty like Fujisaki san, it’s just frustrating because you can’t reach her no matter what. Plus, Sena chan has bigger breasts.”
“Teranishi, that’s super rude to Sena chan. Besides, that unattainable feeling is part of Renka chan’s charm. If you think about being with her, it’s so taboo it’s crazy, right? Also, Renka chan has sexier legs.”
“You both are just horny…”
I replied with just those words and turned my gaze back to the girls’ basketball game.
Soon, there were only a few seconds left in the game. Team B was losing, but the difference was only one point.
In the final offensive opportunity, the ball went to Fujisaki…and she scored with a beautiful jump shot.
Immediately after, the whistle blew to end the game. Sena embraced Fujisaki’s slender body with enthusiasm.
With this, the sports festival was one win and one loss. The result of the next men’s basketball game would decide the class’s victory or defeat.
“…We won, girls.”
On the other hand, Teranishi kun muttered gloomily.
Nakajima kun gently patted him on the back and said,
“Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s get ready.”
In contrast to his classmates who were celebrating the girls’ victory, he was still in a heavy mood.
Finally, we were about to face Class A in the match.
