"eh" "what do you mean"? i asked Atsuo while being confused, "exactly as i said, that guy is currently dating Yasu from class g" she said to me while patting my back,
"so-" "SO WHAT" i said loudly and tried to avoid the conversation, it was not like i was interested in him, yet something in my heart just didn't feel alright
.
"i got a text from Akari in is-ta" Atsuo said while writing, "oh what did she say"? chika asked while glancing "she said she would be back by 2 weeks" Atsuo yawned and looked at me "what's wrong with you" she asked me "nothing…"
i just sat there silently, writing my notes and scribbling "oh btw i heard that Yasu didn't like the rumor about Fuji and isami going out" Atsuo looked at me and grinned "of course she wouldn't, i mean aren't they basically dating"? i scoffed,
"that's true, although Fuji and isami match better" chika said while trying to spin her pen "oh shut up" the boys in my classroom stopped spreading those useless rumors and everything turned back to normal again
i had strict parents, they didn't want me to fall in love with anyone or date anyone, so obviously i followed them, but a part of my heart didn't want that, a week passed after the incident and i gradually forgot about it
"isami…" chika called me glancing at Atsuo "what"? i asked her "did you hear the rumor" she asked me while clinging to Atsuo which i didn't like, i shook my head and put aside my notebook "what is this rumor you talk about"?
chika poked Atsuo, and smiled nervously "well… you see" Atsuo started after siting on the bench "apparently yasu and Fuji broke up" i stopped for a while and then gasped
"wha- what do you mean" i asked them while standing up all of a sudden "i heard he didn't like the way she acted and all, so his friends advised breaking up with her" Atsuo whispered so no one in the class heard it
i did not know what was going through my head at that time, the only thing i knew was that i was happy for some reason which was unclear to me myself, "where did you hear it"? i asked her curiously, Atsuo stood up from the bench and glanced over at chika "from her buddies" chika answered my question,
[if it's from her buddies then it's certainly true] i thought to myself while grinning outside "and i heard that he was interested in you" Chika said all of a sudden only to get smacked by Atsuo "wait what…"
"why would he be-" it felt like words were not coming outside of me "i don't know, ready yourself for a confession" Atsuo said while sighing, i was kinda confused, after all he just broke up with Yasu and all of a sudden he was interested in me
i certainly didn't believe it at first, and things got embarrassing between us, i started running away whenever he was in my sight, it was uncomfortable to see someone you wanted to ignore for your whole life appear in front of you every time you go outside
2 days passed, and only 5 days were needed for Akari to come back "Kiyaki San" Gaman Akemi the person mistaken for being the smartest in our class called out to me "ah yea Gaman kun" i asked him, he looked around and then whispered to me
"Fuji San is calling out for you" he said to me and returned to his seat, "eh-"? it felt like my brain suddenly stopped working, why would that guy even call for me! without knowing the answers, i went to where Fuji was,
"umm" i mumbled, Fuji was surrounded by his guy friends some of them were even looking at me in an amusing way "i h-heard you called for me" i was pretty nervous, a guy so popular called a girl who no one knows about
"ah hello there um kiyuki san" he was sweating i could see that Fuji was as nervous as i was "it's nice to meet you" knowing that i got relieved and looked at the people around him "guys let me talk with her alone" he said while stealing a glance at them
they all got up and went away although i could still see them "may i ask why you need me" i asked him while fidgeting "i am sure you know about the rumors surrounding us" he told me while looking away, i nodded and let him continued "actually the reason for that is-" "that is"? i asked him, "well i once saw you and called you c-cute, so my friends started that rumor",
i didn't understand what he mean't at that time, why would a guy with a girlfriend call another girl cute in front of his friends and let them spread a false rumor, i didn't pay much attention to it at that time "i see, i guess that's where it came from" i replied hesitantly
"i am sorry" he apologized while bowing "it's okay, i understand how you feel since i also have friends like you" i bowed and took my leave, although it seemed like he didn't want me to leave, and thus 8 days passed like a storm i didn't see him anywhere and didn't care, Akari also came back and was busy completing the notes she missed while being away
"Where's Atsuo" she asked me "i think she went home already" i replied, it was lunch break Atsuo normally go to her house to eat food rather than bring them, the school gave her permission for it since her parents came here to request access
"ISAMI" naoki barged into the class shouting my name "the heck" Akari's mouth slipped out, i was surprised why would that guy even call for me "what"? i asked while looking at the crowd behind him, "Fuji is here"!! he shouted again "so-" i was nervous, there is no way that guy would show up again after what happened,
"he came with a dairy milk in his hand, duh"! another guy called Genki showed up, coming to the middle school section while holding dairy milk was the obvious way to propose to a girl, and there was a million chance it was me,
"ohh" Akari was pumped up, so was chika he entered the class like nothing and called for me "kiyuki san" "please come with m-me for a second" he was nervous so was i, even a dumbass could tell he was proposing to me
"i l-like you"!!
