Ren's pov:
After I left the school roof I then remembered that I had to do some groceries. So I head over to the nearby supermarket and grab a cart to collect the ingredients I need to make for dinner.
"let's see, we're currently out of spice and curry powder." I head over to an aisle that says they have what they are selling there. "hmm, curry and spice, it should be on this shelf." just as I grabbed the curry powder, someone tried to grab a coco powder next to it. We both stop and looked at each other, this person is a high school boy. Roughly around the same age as me.
"Wait a minute.. Ike? Is that you?" the person infront of me just stands there in confusion on how I know his name.
"I'm sorry but, do i know you?" he said and looks at me.
I looked at him and pulled out my glasses and wear them. "Do you recognise me now?" I said while wearing them.
Ike's eyes then widen with a Suprise. "Ren? Ren Hiyama!" I smiled at his response. I took my glasses off.
"Man, it's only been like a year since we last saw each other. Everyone was wondering what you were doing after our middle school graduation, I'm actually quite surprised you looked alot different then before" Ike says it with a smile.
"Well I kinda thought that I might grow out of my whole nerd phase back then" I said while rubbing the back of my head. Back in middle school I used to look different then I usually do now, I looked like a geek- an otaku as what people back then used to think of me. I mean like they weren't wrong, I love anime, manga and also novels.
He laughs and I just giggle. This is Ike Hayashi, he's my bestfriend back in middle school and till now we're still bestfriends. During our middle school graduation we made a promise to not tell where we would go for high school, I said that it would be better to not know what school he would be going. But even if we're gonna be separated we will still contact each other.
"So what have you been doing for a whole year?, apart from your whole change." he asks.
"I've been doing alot more studies then usual" I answered and he just gave me a deadpan expression.
"Thats nothing new, you always study no matter your grades" he says. He's right, I study more then the average person does.
Then someone hugs his right arm. "Ike-Kun there you are, I got the stuff you need" the girl says while smiling at him. "ah thanks" Ike response.
"who's this?" she ask looking at me. "This is Ren Hiyama, remember him?" Ike says while smiling.
"ehh? The class nerd!?" she takes out her phone and pulled out a picture of my middle school photo.
She looks back at me and looks back at the picture multiple times just to ensure that this is the same person she is seeing right now. "That's impossible, how did you change soo much from this to.... This?" she says with a Suprise expression.
Then I just answer with "Alot of training and decipline" I laugh nervously while rubbing the back of my head. "Anyways, it's nice to meet you again Kirisu-san!" I said while smiling at her.
"Nice to see you again too, n- Hiyama-san" she says while giving a nervous smile. This is Miyako Kirisu, she was also my middle school friend but she used to hate me back then. She was a gyaru back in middle school and it looks like she is still a gyaru in high school.
"So, seeming on how you two are locking arms I'm guessing that your dating?" I ask with my index and thumb on my chin.
"Yeah we are!" Ike says with a smile. Meanwhile Kirisu just slowly release herself from Ike with a bit of a sad expression on her face.
Hmm, their dating huh? That's something interesting. I then got a massage on my phone from my sister saying that we are gonna have company for dinner.
"is that your sister Ren?" Ike ask.
"Yeah, I gotta finish up here and make dinner" I said.
"You can cook ne- Hiyama-san?" she said. I giggled and reasure her.
"it's okay Kirisu-san, you can still call me nerd" I smile to assure her.
She then just nods and said "But it doesn't sound right to call you that now" she looks down.
I smile and said "you know what, you can call me anything you want."
She lit up and looks at me "Then! Can I call you by your given name?" she asks.
I was surprised and yet I smile "Yeah sure" I was happy to know that the person that hated me is now my friend
Things will be different now that I've became her actual friend. I wonder if I could be in a relationship like the two of them, then Sensei's face came to mind. Is it even right to date my teacher?. I look down wondering. Is it even legal?
