After weekend, I finally looked up proudly and entered the classroom.
“Good morning~.”
I tried to speak a little louder than usual, but no one responded.
I was walking toward my seat with my head down, feeling a little depressed,
“Ah !”
I heard a voice.
I looked up and saw a girl with glasses standing up in front of me with a surprised expression on her face.
“Ah.”
It was the girl I saved from the strange old man yesterday !
Awawa !
Not only did we go to the same school, but we were in the same class !
No wonder I thought I’d seen her before !
She also seems uncomfortable.
I try to remember her name, but I can’t think straight !
I mean, I don’t know any of the girls’ names, except for Saki !
What should I do?
“…Hi.”
“Good morning. Thanks for yesterday.”
I can’t !
I can’t remember !
“…..Erm, sorry. Can you tell me your name?”
“Your’r terrible ! You can’t even remember your classmates !”
I asked in horror, and the girl smiled after a cute pout.
“I’m Kumagai Yuri.”
“Kumagai san. Nice to meet you.”
“Yeah, nice to meet you too. And what’s your name?”
This time, she asked. Cute.
“So you don’t know～! I’m Samejima Kingo.”
We both laughed shyly, and I was getting all the attention around me.
[ [Well then.] ]
Once again, near my seat,
“Good morning~.”
When I said that, he replied, [Good morning.]
It was Sudo Yutaro, a very attentive guy from the tennis club, sitting behind me.
“You’re friends with Kumagai?”
He usually just say hello, but Sudo was unusually curious.
“No, we passed each other at the mall yesterday,
we were both like we’ve seen each other before, but can’t remember.”
“Yeah, you’re only looking at the blackboard or your desk, aren’t you?”
Sudo was taken aback, spreading his hands wide and shaking his head.
“By the way, today we’re gonna choose the group for next week’s field trip.”
“I see.”
Again, Sudo seemed taken aback, spreading his hands wide and shaking his head.
“You don’t seem to be interested in it,
but it’s a fun event where you can get to know the girls better !
We form groups of two boys and two girls,
The boys get to pick the ones they get along with, and the girls get to pick by lottery.”
“I see.”
The two boys and two girls will make up a group.
He’s overeacting.
“Seriously ! You’re not interested in anything, are you !
Well, that’s okay.
I’ll be in the group with you.”
“Oh, thanks.”
“Of course.”
Sudo is a really nice guy.
About two weeks ago, I was assigned to clean the men’s restroom for the first time.
I was the first one to go to the men’s restroom on the first floor, so I immediately started cleaning by myself.
After a while, two tall guys came in, making a lot of noise.
“Ew, cleaning toilets is the worst, isn’t it !
Hm, where’s Sudo?”
“What’s with that guy? But, hey, the good guys are doing a great job, aren’t they?
Hey, we have to go to the club.
I’m sorry, but I’m counting on you. Hahahaha !”
Without hearing my reply, the two boys turned around and left, laughing hysterically.
I had no choice but to continue cleaning the toilets earnestly.
After a while, Sudo came in.
“Hm? Where are Enomoto and Ohori?”
“Erm, they were going to the club…”
“So you’re cleaning toilets all by yourself?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you an idiot? If you can’t stop them, ask someone else.”
“…I don’t have anyone I can rely on.”
Sudo let out a big sigh.
“It’s because you keep looking down.
You’re gonna get into all kinds of trouble with them.
But there are definitely people who will help you if you ask them.
Look, I don’t know what’s going on with you,
Don’t keep it to yourself, ask around.”
Sudo put his hand on my shoulder and took a breath.
“Of course, you can count on me first.”
Sudo grinned and pointed at himself with a thumbs-up.
And then he stuck up and cleaned the toilets with me.
During gym class, too, when we did the preparation exercises as a pair,
he even invited me when I was alone.
Sudo is a really nice guy, even though there are a lot of other guys he gets along with.
He is a really nice guy.
During homeroom, the class committee members presided over the group assignment for next week’s field trip.
“First, please make pairs of boys and girls.
The pairs should draw lots on the teacher’s table.
The four who draw the same number will form a group.”
It seemed that most of the pairs had already been formed,
The representatives were heading to the lectern to draw lots.
“Hey, Samejima. Go draw a good lot.”
“Don’t complain if it doesn’t work out.”
I went to the teaching table and drew the lot, and it was number three.
We were told not to say the number out loud,
I silently returned to my seat and showed Sudo the lottery ticket.
Then, a man sitting next to me called out,
“Hey, let’s exchange lots. Here.”
I think his name was Enomoto Takato, a guy on the basketball team,
He’s an aggressive guy who likes to dominate.
So the number 3 lottery is the winner?
“No.”
Without even discussing it with Sudo, I said no.
“What’s up with you, you fucking shady piece of shit?”
Enomoto and a fellow from the soccer team named Ohori Naoyuki, who was seated behind me, glared at me.
He glared at me, but I stared back at him.
“Quiet there! Okay, hands up, number one.”
The host, a member of the class council, cautioned Enomoto and the others, and the group assignments for the boys and girls began.
The girls in group 3 were Kumagai, who I had rescued from the strange old man yesterday.
“Yay ! I got it ! Nice !”
Sudo, with a big smile on his face,
slap me in the back.
After that, when the group pairings were decided and we split up, Enomoto kicked me on the desk.
It didn’t hurt, so I didn’t care.
“Nice to meet you~.”
She came over to me, saying so lightly.
It was the short-hair girl sitting in front of Kumagai san.
I don’t know her name, of course.
“Nice to meet you !”
Sudo welcomed her with a smiling face,
the short-hair girl smiled as if she was up to something.
“She didn’t know about Samejima until just now.
Yuri, do you know this guy’s name?”
The short-hair girl pointed at Sudo,
Kumagai san’s eyes were swimming as if she was flustered.
“I’m sorry.”
“Gahh I don’t mind.
Sudo Yutaro, I’m in the tennis club.”
When Sudo smiled, his white teeth glistened.
He looked as cool as he could !
“So, Samejima, you didn’t know Yuri’s name or face until just now, did you?
Do you know my name~?”
The short-hair girl grinned.
Of course this will happen..
“Haha~, I’m sorry !”
“Haa, I can’t believe you don’t know your classmate’s name～!”
I sighed deliberately, but the short-hair girl was smiling,
Sudo and Kumagai san were smiling, too.
[ [Yeah, yeah !] ]
“Curse you ! Even Kumagai san didn’t know about Sudo !”
I countered, and the short-hair girl struck a cute, pretentious pose.
“Because, Sudo is a mob, so you don’t need to know, but look, I’m cute, aren’t I?”
[ [How terrible !] ]
The short-hair girl giggled as Sudo and I harmonized.
“I’m Kioka Yuika. Don’t forget.”
“Nice to meet you.”
After the meeting of the groups, the class representative who was the host of the meeting shouted loudly.
“The students will visit facilities in the city in the morning and report back to the teacher at either Arima Onsen or Kobe Airport at the end of the day.
On the way, please speak to a foreigner in English and show the teacher a picture of you with the four of you.
Please consult with your group and decide where to go.
Then, break up.”
“Hey, the four of us connect with each other on line.
Let’s think about where we wanna go and talk about it.”
Sudo suggested with excitement.
Yeah, I understand.
Kumagai san is beautiful and Kioka san is cute.
“Okay～”
“Yes.”
Sudo, Kumagai san, and Kioka san held their phones close to each other.
“Look. Samejima, too.”
“Erm, what should I do?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know?”
“Because this is the first time I’ve had a smartphone in my hands since this past April,
the only person I’m linked to is my sister, so…”
I linked up with Saki first, and on the day I bought it, I was communicating with her without sleeping, but…
I was dumped, and waited for a week for her to contact me, but nothing happened, so I deleted it….
She hasn’t contacted me since then, has she? Of course not !
“Heh, there’s someone like that.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Kioka was strangely impressed, and Kumagai san nodded in agreement.
“You weren’t in the class line group, were you?
Sorry. Shall I invite you?”
“Thanks. But I haven’t had any problems so far, so I don’t mind.”
“We all went to karaoke together during Golden Week.”
Saki loves karaoke. I bet she went with Matsukubo Takuma.
“I see. ….I didn’t even wanna go to karaoke, so it’s fine.”
“What, are you tone deaf? I’m looking forward to it.
Let’s go out again sometime.”
Sudo sensed my inner thoughts and smirked.
Then Kioka took my phone and linked me to everyone.
“Here. You’re so lucky to be linked first with two such beautiful girls !”
“Seriously, you’re the best !”
I took advantage of Kioka’s joke, and she stared at me.
“…..You’re pretty flirty, aren’t you?
Why are you a loner?”
“Well, it’s fine. Well then, let’s just say that.”
When I stood up and looked around, I saw that Saki was in the same group as Matsukubo Takuma.
Maybe it really is fate, though it’s frustrating.
By the way, Enomoto and Ohori were staring at me,
The girls in their group were the plain ones. Too bad !
