*Hashimoto Hiroto’s Point of View
I decide to go to the bathroom and walk down the hallway alone.
I had never gone alone before.
Hazuki or Atsuya would always take me to the bathroom with them, and I was rarely alone at school.
But now I am alone.
And I was getting a lot of white looks from people around me, so it was painful to be alone.
“(What the hell is going on here? ……)”
I’ve just been reinstated, but it’s been hell since day one, hasn’t it?
Before I knew it, Yumi and the others were expelled, and that virgin guy had gotten a makeover and become ridiculously cool.
And above all, it’s the atmosphere of this school.
Before, everyone used to look at us and say, “Wow!” Why do they look at us as if we’re a tumor?
It’s crazy, isn’t it? This!
“(And Mikoto, after all)”
Mikoto’s behavior has been strange the whole time.
I don’t know, maybe it’s menstruation?
Well, I don’t know, but she’s really irritated.
I understand that this situation is humiliating, but it’s going to end soon anyway, right?
It’s just for now.
“You should stand taller, like a top executive!”
I really wish you’d follow my example.
Getting worked up isn’t going to solve anything lol
I was optimistic that things would get better soon anyway.
Then suddenly, I saw a group of guys from another class that I get along with.
Oh, just in time. I’ll have them listen to my complaints.
“Hey Masaya! It’s been a while!~”
I punche him on the shoulder and treat him with the same kind of distance that you only get with someone really close, like before.
“I’m finally out of school~. I mean, come pick me up, wow, I’m back in school, right? lol”
“…………”
Hm?
What’s with these guys?
Aren’t they all reacting too badly?
Their faces are contorted like they’re looking at something they’re not supposed to see.
Is that the kind of thing you’re into? This.
If so, it’s not funny.
“Hey, hey, your arm must have dulled over the past month, or you’re not funny anymore, you bastard~!”
I nudged him in the shoulder again, but he didn’t respond.
“Seriously, that vibe lol, right? It’s like ignoring me because I went back to school, right? Seriously, that’s old-fashioned lol, I’m bored of it lol”
“………..”
But even this got no response.
How stubbornly are they following the groove?
Well, let’s just assume it’s their way of welcoming me. They are such a good-natured bunch, you know.
“I mean, listen to me! I’ve been getting a lot of white looks from you guys! I came back to school for the first time in a month and everyone’s attitude has changed. Yumi and the others are going to be expelled from school, and I’m really in a state of bad things~!”
“…..hey, Hiroto.”
“Oh, have you stopped ignoring me? Lol, what’s with you? You’re surprisingly weak-willed! By the way, I still have a strong enough mentality to endure it…”
“–Don’t talk to me, okay?”
“………… Eh?”
Masaya’s words made my mind go blank.
What? What do you mean?
What did he just say to me?
“Stop treating me that way. And don’t hit me on the shoulder.”
“Oh, hey, hey, wow, you’re going to make me a target next time, isn’t that funny ……?”
“It’s not a joke. This is not a joke or anything”
“I’m not gonna act like we’re good friends anymore. I mean, we’re never good friends to begin with.”
“You’re not funny. The guys you hang out with aren’t funny either.”
“You’re really gross. Don’t talk to me.”
“Haa…..?”
The barrage of abuse.
At first, I thought that even this was just a part of the joke.
But their eyes were serious.
“Hey, what are you talking about ……?”
“Honestly speaking, I was only talking to you because you were in Osawa’s group, and I don’t even consider you a friend.”
“Yes, yes, you’re simply not funny. All you say is flimsy and stupid.”
“You’re always playing the lackey of someone else, and you’re worthless when you’re alone.”
“Whaa…..”
Are you kidding me?
I thought I was friends with Masaya and the others,……, but it’s not funny? Is it flimsy?
Is it worth …… nothing?
“I mean, come on. You’ve been floating around all this time. I don’t know if you want to pose as a friend to all kinds of people, but you don’t have a shred of popularity yourself.”
“Also, don’t get involved with us again. If people think we’re friendly with you, it’ll lower our value.”
“Hey, ……”
Masaya and the others left.
“wait a minute, Masaya! We have been good friends since junior high school…!!”
Masaya, who even used to hang out with me after school, turns around at the sound of my voice.
I was hoping that only Masaya would reach out to me.
—But
“I’ve never thought of you as a friend since junior high school.”
“Haa……….?”
Masaya spat that out and walked away without me.
I’m left behind.
I’m isolated… I’m really all alone.
It’s impossible,…… because I’m friends with many people, I’m at the top of the caste, and I’m supposed to be the most popular person,…….
“What the hell is this? ……”
It’s crazy. …… It’s crazy!
I can’t believe this is happening to me. ……!
“It’s not right! ！！！！
One punches the floor.
But all that came back was pain.
There was only one pain.
“Uwaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
