“There’s a seat available. Let’s sit down.”
“Sure.”
While we were walking to the station, Senpai remained silent.
She seemed to be thinking about something and I felt bad if I interrupted her, so I didn’t talk to her.
Naturally, we didn’t hold hands like we did yesterday, and we walked to the station together without hesitation and got on the train.
This morning, too, many people got off at Akaitohama Station, and after watching them, the people on the platform got on the train.
Fortunately, we were able to wait at the front of the train and were able to secure a seat, so we sat down in a row.
It was a strange feeling.
I had been on the same train with Senpai many times before, but I never thought I would be sitting in the same chair with such a conscious effort.
“It’s quite bumpy, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. It’s scary.”
The train rattles, and Senpai tense up.
She’s so scared.
Senpai moved her body towards me, and positioned herself to avoid the person next to her.
“Is everything all right? I wish a seat by the wall was available.”
“I’m fine. But I’m anxious……”
“Ah.”
Senpai gently places her small hand on the back of my hand.
Then, she fidgets with my hand as she squeezes it lightly.
“Can I stay like this?”
“Eh, y-yes. I’m fine with it.”
“Yeah.”
Her hand is as cold as ever.
But somehow it feels warm even though it is supposed to be cold.
My heart is beating faster.
I’m worried that my nervousness will be revealed through my hands.
“…..AOh, by the way, what’s in that paper bag?”
I immediately brought up things that I was interested in but didn’t have the time to ask about.
In addition to her school bag, Senpai had another large paper bag.
I could imagine that what was inside was probably her lunch box, but I dared to pretend not to notice it in order to distract myself a little.
But Senpai,
“It’s a secret.”
But for some reason, she didn’t answer.
“A secret?”
“Yeah. A secret.”
“Huh.”
I think it was a lunch box, but I guess it wasn’t.
I don’t know why she kept the contents a secret, but Senpai next to me kept muttering [Secret] was so cute that I stopped thinking and just stared at her.
The train eventually arrived at the station nearest the school.
◇
As we left the platform, my hand naturally fell away from the hand I was holding with Senpai.
When I left the station, I could see glimpses of other students on their way to school, so I put my hands in my pockets, thinking that we couldn’t hold hands here and there.
Senpai walked a little behind me and remained silent the whole time.
Just when I was relieved that it would be less of a fuss, I heard a voice from behind me.
“Hey, Sendai, good morning.”
“Good morning, Kaneko. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“Haha, surely. I mean, are you in a relationship with someone?”
“Eh?”
Kaneko asked happily, suddenly lowering her voice.
“Well, it’s Hyori senpai. You went to school together, it’s like you’re in love.”
“Ah, no, it’s just that there’s a lot going on.”
“What do you mean a lot of things? Hey, let me hear it.”
“Ah, I get it, I get it. I’ll see you later.”
“Heh heh heh. Then, I’ll go ahead, It would be bad if I interfered. See you in class.”
Kaneko briskly goes on ahead of me.
I was just about to say good riddance to the gossip-monger who is as cheerful and nonchalant as ever, when Senpai caught up with me and stared at me.
“W-what is it?”
“Is that Kaneko kun?”
“Y-yes. He’s a good guy.”
“I see. Do you want to hang out with your friend after all?”
“Eh, well yeah. But we’re always together at school, so it’s not like every day.”
“I see. Yeah, got it.”
“?”
I don’t know what she understood, but she was mumbling to herself.
When we arrived at the school, Senpai said, [Wait a minute] and went to her own shoe box and changed into her jacket, then came back immediately.
“Then, let’s go.”
“Eh, go where?”
“To the classroom.”
“Classroom? But your classroom is on the other side of the hall.”
“Right. but I’m worried about whether you’ll make it to class properly, so I’ll see you off.”
“D-don’t worry. I’m not skipping class or anything.”
“No, no. I’ll see you off.”
“Haa.”
For some reason, she said he was going to see me off to class.
I guess my mother wants to make sure I’m studying properly.
She treats me like a child.
I’m doing my best to be diligent.
I guess she doesn’t trust me.
“……”
When I walk with Senpai through the school building where the freshman classrooms are located, I catch glimpses of people passing us in the hallways.
Even if an upperclassman were just wandering around a school building full of juniors, they would stand out, but if it was Hyori senpai, who was known as the most beautiful girl in the school, it would be even more so.
And if that senior is walking around with a boy from a lower class, then everyone is not happy about it.
I was not feeling comfortable living in this situation.
Only Senpai kept her composure.
“Um, we’ve arrived at the classroom.”
“Yeah. Well, then, go on your way.”
“Y-yes. I’m sorry to bother you.”
“No, it’s okay. It’s what I like to do.”
“B-but.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ll see you later.”
Senpai left me dashingly.
I followed her back with my eyes for a long time.
Students who passed by her stopped when they saw her and admired her graceful figure.
I knew Senpai was beautiful.
She is also somewhat fragile and graceful.
I slept with her yesterday, right?
“……Senpai.”
Remembering last night, my heart ached again.
As soon as I entered the classroom, several of my classmates started talking to me and asked me all kinds of questions about Senpai, but I couldn’t even answer them properly.
We had been together for so long, so even this time of being apart was painful.
I wonder if I’m dependent on Senpai.
♥
“Ehehe, everyone is talking about us. I’m happy.”
When I went back to the classroom, I was sad because I would be separated from him, but when I went back to the classroom, my classmates would ask me, [Hey, are you in love with your junior boyfriend kun?].
Up until now, people have been shunning me as a girl who isn’t interested in men or doesn’t like them, but everyone is friendly and talks to me.
Well, I don’t really care either way.
They are the kind of creatures who would flip out again anyway.
I know that they are the ones who will happily flock to me just now.
But I’m glad that they congratulated me and Tokiwa kun.
I’m glad that everyone knows about our relationship and is envious of us.
Ehehe, I’m happy.
After this, I’m going to go see him every time I have a break.
I’m also going to give him his lunch box.
I really should have given it to him earlier, but that would have been boring.
I give him the lunch box I made for him in front of everyone, without hesitation.
I go to his class every day, every day.
Until the other girls realize that they have no interest in taking advantage of him.
Even after the other girls gave up.
I’m a little possessive.
But you say I’m cute for being so selfish, don’t you?
Tokiwa kun said I’m cute and he likes me, right?
“Tokiwa kun is cute enough, too. I can’t wait for the break time to come.”
