“Ah, Sota kun, good morning !”
For some reason, Yuuka was at the school gate–but as soon as she saw me, she waved to me with a beautiful smile.
“Yyuka, good morning !”
I wondered why Yuuka was waiting for me at the school gate, but I casually greeted her back, just as I have been doing in the classroom lately,
“H-hey, look at that !”
“Oh, it’s Himemiya san. Why is Himemiya san waving at that guy?”
“You mean she was waiting for him at the school gate?”
“That dull mob is with Hinemiya-san?
“Who the hell is that guy?”
“Isn’t that Konno from the 2nd year?”
“Konno? That’s the guy who got dumped by the pretty girl.”
“I remember that rumor.”
“Does that mean he switched to Himemiya san this time?”
“That’s not true, right? Why is it that someone like him can be friends with so many good looking women?
The surrounding students were already starting to make a lot of noise.
…Well, I guess that’s obvious
The school’s idol Himemiya Yuuka is waving at someone like me.
What’s more, they noticed that she was waving her hands with some excitement, like a happy dog wagging its tail.
“Hey, Kensuke. It looks like Yuka was waiting for me, but what does she mean by that?”
I first tried to ask Kensuke for his opinion,
“Sota_…..explode, you normies ! But this time, I wish you a long and happy life !”
Kensuke shouted something incoherent in a tearful voice and dashed away from me and rushed into the school building.
Oh, hey …….”
I was left stunned by my best friend’s sudden eccentricity, and Yuuka came running to me in a little trot.
“Hattori kun ran away. What happened? Did he remember something urgent?”
“I don’t think it’s anything like that……”
By the way, “Hattori” is Kensuke’s last name.
Hattori Kensuke is 16 years old, and he’s looking for a girlfriend (I advertised it).
“Really?”
Yuuka tilted her head curiously, but I was the one whose head was filled with questions.
“More than that. Were you waiting for me? Did you promise to go with me?”
Yuuka was waiting for me–as expected, I couldn’t think of any other situation than that, so I decided to ask her straight out.
“No, I didn’t make any such promise.”
“Right. But then why did you wait for me?”
“Well, that……would be a long story, wouldn’t it? The bus I usually take was extremely late today.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that.”
“Then I arrived quite late, so I suddenly thought that maybe Sota kun was on the next bus. Then I looked back around the school gate.
Then I saw Sota kun walking toward me, so I decided to wait for him. You see. We are classmates, so it’s not strange for us to go to school together, right?”
Yuuka explained the reason why she was waiting for me for so long in a strange and explanatory tone.
In other words, Yuuka’s story could be summarized as follows.
It’s not that she was planning to wait for me from the beginning or anything.
The reason for this is because of a coincidence of bus delays, and because she saw a classmate who she had recently become friends with, so she had no reason to ignore him, so she just waited for him.
“I see. Bus delays are the biggest problem for those who commute to school by bus, aren’t they?”
“Right !?”
It’s not uncommon for buses to be delayed due to little traffic lights, unexpected traffic jams, or getting on and off the bus.
So I wasn’t particularly bothered about that.
Many times I was almost late for the first period because the bus was late, and I had to dash to school the moment I got off the bus.
Each time I’d try to go another bus earlier, but it was too hard to get up one bus ride earlier, so I’d stop after all.
So there was no problem with the bus being late.
The problem is–,
“I mean, I’m glad you’re waiting for me. But…now we’re standing out in a weird way, aren’t we……?”
Even now, all the students passing by were staring at us with surprised faces as we spoke in front of the school gates.
“Yeah, it seems so……were you perhaps bothered?”
Yuuka asked in an apologetic, thin voice,
“Nothing like that. I was rather happy.”
I told her how I honestly felt.
What guy wouldn’t be happy to have a cute girl like Yuuka waiting for him at the school gate?
No, there is no such guy.
But even so.
It’s embarrassing to be so conspicuous.
But if you think of it as the price for being able to smile at Yuuka, it’s not a big deal at all.
I was aware that my heart was so excited that I was jumping up and down.
“Really? That’s good…….”
Yuuka smiled happily when she heard my reply.
“U—-uu.”
I was shown that amazing smile right in front of my eyes, and my mind was once again filled with fantasy that [Yuuka likes me, doesn’t she?].
