“Ouuch…..what are you doing, Kensuke? It hurts when you hold on so tight.”
“Well, sit down, Sota. And don’t say anything. Then we’ll talk about it.”
“So, what’s going on…..?”
I was forcibly pulled to my seat despite my cries of protest, and as I sat down, I rubbed my shoulder, which was sore from being squeezed.
“I’ll ask you directly. There’s no tricking you. Answer honestly.”
Kensuke stood in front of me and leaned down to put his face right in front of mine.
“It depends on what you wanna talk about, but I understand.”
I tentatively nodded my head at Kensuke’s obedient attitude.
“Then let me ask you, why is Sota and Himemiya san so friendly and greeting each other in the morning? Or rather, you called each other by first names. What do you mean by returning her clothes? You didn’t talk at all until last week. Did something happen during this weekend?”
Kensuke’s nose was rasping and he was talking fast.
“I just had a lot happen to me yesterday.”
I only replied in short sentences.
Even though Kensuke was the only one talking to me, I could feel that all my classmates were listening intently.
The entire classroom was filled with a tense, tense atmosphere, as if it were just before an exam.
“What do you mean a lot? Oh, oh, by any chance, did you start dating Himemiya san !?”
And somehow I had a feeling that Yuuka was looking at me too.
Even while Yuuka was talking with her friends, she kept glancing at me and Kensuke.
Is this that?
Is she worried that I might “misunderstand” or say something unnecessary?
I put the situation into perspective in my mind.
The fact that Mizuki chan drowned is not something that I would go around blabbing about.
However, if I told people that I went to Yuuka’s house without that, it was very likely that they would misunderstand that Yuuka was going out with me.
I think Yuuka is probably worried about that and is glancing at me.
After all, it would be the popular Yuuka who would be bothered by unnecessary rumors, not me, the small fry.
That’s why.
I don’t want to get too specific here.
“There are a lot of things going on. It also depends on the person in question, so I can’t go into details. But let me make this clear: There’s no way I’m dating Yuuka, right?”
“T-this guy called Himemiya san by her name again……!? I knew you two were dating…..! !”
“No, listen to me. I just said that I’m not going out with her.”
“Hmph ! I’m not convinced !”
When I told him to give up, Kensuke slammed the desk hard, as if to show me how emotional he was.
“…Why are you so stubborn about not believing me? We’ve known each other for a long time, so please believe me, okay?”
“You see. As far as I know, there are no boys who call Himemiya san by her name. Not even one.”
“Well……that’s true.”
“The captain of the soccer team, the tall ace of the volleyball team, the president of the student council who got straight A’s on the Tokyo University mock exams, and even the palyboy seniors in the top caste popular group, none of them I have seen call her by her first name.”
“Kensuke, you might be surprised how much she’d like it if you called her by her name too.”
“You idiot ! How can I do such a thing? After all, she is the idol of the school, right? It’s said that when she went to Shibuya to play, she was scouted one after another by a super-famous major entertainment agency. I’m not even worthy of talking to her !”
Kensuke’s words were met with nods of agreement from all of his classmates.
They were listening after all.
Even if that’s not the case, Kensuke’s voice is always so loud that you can probably hear it even if you don’t like it.
“I’ve talked to Yuuka a little bit, and she didn’t sound like that at all, you know? Well, put that aside for now. We’ve been calling each other by our first names for a while now, after everything that happened.”
“But you’re not in a relationship?”
“Basically.”
“I don’t believe it.”
“That’s what good friends do, don’t they?”
“……”
“Right?”
“All I’m saying is—“
“What is it?”
Kensuke made a big remark once, and then said.
“I take back what I said before. I won’t treat you mac.”
