I look around the entire classroom in a daze.
The reason why I am doing this alone is simple.
My seat is in the last row by the window, so it’s easy to see the whole room, and most importantly, I have nothing to do.
““Hey, hey! Look at this! A guy in the soccer club gave me this picture of that beautiful girl from Midori-High School, “The White and Silver Goddess”! Isn’t she cute?~!”
“Well, she sure is cute. But I saw the “Cherry Moon Angel” in person the other day and she was on a different level. She really looked like an idol.”
“If Hazuki says so, it must be for real! I’m a fan of “ The Princess of Everlasting Summer” by the way! saw it on social media the other day.”
“You guys talk about girls from other schools too much.”
“Really, really~”
Five men and five women were gathered in the center of the classroom, making a lot of noise.
It’s normal to get together with friends like that during lunch break, but I didn’t have any friends like that.
And since I have no hobbies, there is really nothing to do.
But today, the five members of the so-called “top caste” were noisy to the point of being easily recognizable.
“I mean, aren’t they as cute as they sound? Those girls.”
says a blonde, girly-looking girl named Osawa Mikoto, fiddling with her hair.
“Hey, hey, hey~! Mikocchan, are you jealous?”
“Ha? I’m not going to be jealous of you.
You’re still an idiot, Hiroto.”
“Ah⁉ You’re the one who calls me an idiot?!”
Hashimoto Hiroto, who is small in stature, gets angry in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Hahaha, I think that’s what they are saying about you, Hiroto.”
“Even Hazuki is making fun of me⁉ He’s getting carried away just because he has a nice face!”
The blonde-haired, moustachioed, good-looking Kaito Hazuki smiles freshly.
“Well, well, calm down! I only think of you as a short and stupid guy! Gahahahaha!”
“I don’t want Atsuya to call me stupid!”
With his long hair tied back, Ryuzaki Atsuya laughed out loud, matching his size.
“Don’t worry about what everyone else is saying, just think of yourself as a genius, okay?”
“Yumi ……! You’re the only one on my side, ……!”
“Fufu…… easy guy!”
Katase Yumi, with her pigtails on, rests her chin on Hashimoto’s shoulder and smiles slightly.
It’s really lively.
The class can definitely be said to be centered on those five people.
And…
I, Mizuki Saku, am definitely the outsider of the class.
I’m the one who stands in contrast to them.
“I mean, Mikoto! Didn’t we make a promise the other day?!”
“Geez ……haaa, are you seriously going to do that?”
“A guy…..no! A woman’s got two words!”
“Go for it!”
“Good luck, Mikoto!”
“…Well, if Hazuki asks me to, I have no choice but to do it. …I guess there’s no other way.”
Osawa gets up and starts walking around, fiddling with her hair.
Soon after, she stopped in front of a man’s seat.
It was …….
“Hey, Mizuki. Can I have a minute?”
“…… eh?”
No way, it was me.
When I was surprised, Osawa looked down at me and said
“After school, I want to talk to you. Come to the back of the school building.”
–And then came after school.
I came with Osawa to the back of the school building, where there were few people.
Osawa stopped and turned her body toward me.
“Thank you for coming.”
“No, nothing.”
I had never talked to Osawa before.
So I had no idea what we were going to talk about in a place where few people were around.
Suddenly, I looked at the stairs in the shadows behind me.
“What’s up?”
“…… nothing. So what’s the story?”
“Well, actually, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time,…….”
Osawa looked down, glanced behind me, then looked up and said.
“I’m in love with Mizuki. So will you go out with me?”
Osawa stared at me.
…I was surprised.
I never thought that Osawa would confess to me.
No, it’s not normal.
I’ve never talked to her before, and she said my bangs were too long and annoying, so there was no way she would like me based on my looks.
I heard that Osawa is popular at school, so she would have no trouble finding a partner.
Besides, there’s the matter of what’s behind me, and there’s a conceivable possibility – a false confession.
But if Osawa really likes me, it would be disrespectful to Osawa’s feelings to make that determination.
So I guess I should think seriously about it,…… but it’s still hard to believe.
“What do you think, Mizuki? Do you think you could go out with me?”
Osawa emphasizes.
“Well, ……”
What should I do?
First of all, I have to find out if it’s true or false. ……After all, you have to answer these things sincerely. ……
“…….Pfft”
Osawa suddenly blows up.
Then she clutched her stomach and began to laugh.
“Ahahahahahahahahaha! I can’t do it anymore! I can’t take this!”
“Eh?”
I couldn’t swallow the situation.
Then behind me, from behind the stairs, Hashimoto and the others came out.
“Hey, Mikocchan! That’s foul, isn’t it?
It’s really impossible!~”
“It’s great that you put it into words.”
“That’s it~!”
“Gahahahahahaha! You’re the one who endured it well, Mikoto!”
Eventually, they surround me and bring the phone in their hands close to me.
“Yes! The prank was a huge success!”
“Prank?”
“My liking of Mizuki and my confession were all lies. What are you being serious about? There’s no way I could fall in love with a shitty loner like you lol. That’s a pretty big misunderstanding lol.”
“That’s it! The look of distress on Otaku-kun’s face was really very humorous~~!”
A laugh erupts from the audience.
I see, so it was a lie after all.
“Hey, hey, Otaku-kun! Did you really think Mikoto told you? And you imagined it, didn’t you? You imagined going out with Mikoto and having it with her, didn’t you!”
“Gross, virgins always imagine things like that.”
“Well, you’re a virgin, so it can’t be helped, can it?”
“Oh, well, don’t do that to him, he’s so pathetic. It will only make him miserable, right?”
“Hahahaha! You’re right!”
I was heaped with abusive language.
I see. I’m being made a spectacle of by these guys now?
That’s why
I wondered what advantage it would bring to them, and then I realized.
“I mean, this is going to get a lot of attention right⁉ If I put up a video of it!”
“Indeed, wow, his expression was really terrible when he found out it was a lie!”
“I feel sorry for him~~~”
“Well, it’s okay, isn’t it? I gave him a good dream, even if it was just a little bit.”
“Hazuki was a little too harsh lol”
The five of them talk noisily again, just as they did in the classroom.
…Although I do have some thoughts about it, there’s no point in getting involved.
“Is it okay now? I can go home now?”
I say, and the five of them freeze for a moment, then look at each other,…….
“””””hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ！！！！”””””
Hey, did you hear that? he said, “Enough is enough!!!!”
“This is a masterpiece! lol”
“You’re so funny, virgin!”
“Go home, otaku kun”
“Bye bye!”
I turned my back to the five people laughing at me and started to walk away.
There is no use in taking advantage of them. I’m sure that in this case, the right thing to do would be to not take them seriously.
I told myself that and walked away.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The next morning.
I went to school as usual.
“Hey, isn’t that him?”
“Oh, that’s the guy from the video.”
“How can you come here with such a nonchalant face?”
“Poor guy.”
“That’s a real masterpiece, isn’t it?
“That’s what Osawa and her friends are all about.”
I were attracting a lot of attention.
But I had no idea what was going on.
I arrive at the classroom with doubts.
When Hashimoto notices me,
“Aaaaahhh! You’re a celebrity! ～～～～～～!!!!”
shouted loudly while pointing at me.
All eyes in the classroom were on me.
Osawa and the others looked at me and grinned at me as if they were making fun of me.
Hashimoto came under me, put his arm around my shoulder and poked me in the chest.
“Hey, hey, hey!?How do you feel now?
You know, being an Internet celebrity! Are you happy no matter what? You’ve got your chest puffed out⁉”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
I said, and Hashimoto looked at Osawa and the others and giggled.
“I heard that⁉ Otaku-kun, you’re being so silly~~ lol”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, that kind of move is really good. It’s so disappointing~ lol… Ah, I guess there’s no other way. Hiroto-kun will teach you~! here.”
“Hnn! this…..”
Hashimoto showed me a video on his phone.
It shows me in the video, and the location is behind the school building.
“Is it yesterday’s video by any chance?”
“Yes! I posted it on social networking sites and it went viral! Look at this! Ten thousand likes! Ten thousand people liked this video! Isn’t that amazing?”
I don’t know much about social networking, but 10,000 likes must be quite a lot.
“That’s really great~! You’ve become famous thanks to us!”
Hashimoto patted me on the back.
Then he smirked and said in a voice that struck a nerve.
“Well, here’s a video of you getting dumped, lol”
Osawa and the others begin to laugh at Hashimoto’s words.
Apparently, the buzz had gone viral.
The video of me getting dumped by Osawa.
–But this video changed everything around me.
It was in a classroom.
in the studio.
in home…….
“This is …….”
Certain beautiful girls grinned as they each looked at their phones.
What they see on their phones is a video of one boy getting dumped.
And that boy was the one they were looking for.
“………… I finally found him.”
-I had no idea at the time.
I had no idea that this video would get buzz and those beautiful girls who are famous in other schools would rush to me.
