I had heard the phrase "it was your turn" on more than one occasion. Although, in reality, its meaning was much more crude than I could express. I am a logical person, used to approaching situations rationally, but in a sense, I am not real. I don't like to talk about things realistically, since what's the point of that? It's just sad, but at least there are no lies. However, there are times when I have to follow my heart, even if it makes me too angry. It is in these situations that I have to control myself even more.
And now, in the midst of these complicated situations, there is Ayumi. She knows a lot about guys. Dating so many of them gives you experience, and herein lies the problem. I can't let her get too close to me. I have to be cautious. I hope everything stays like this and there's no more pretending to be a relationship.
School was finally over and it was time to talk to Ayumi about the conditions. However, I had to consider what would happen if her mother asked us to act like boyfriends in front of her. Holding her hand or other simple actions didn't affect me. After all, I had done it before with several friends when we were kids, such as walking them home or participating in activities together. Although I was a little embarrassed, I had learned to control myself. However, I had not become accustomed to these situations, as they were special when it was a couple.
I agreed to be with Ayumi, even though I didn't like it. I went along with the situation, but now I had to consider the possible scenarios. What if she tries to kiss me? Or seduce me with her body? Or take me to one of those motels? I'm no fool, I did my research and met ten guys who had dated her. They told me she was very good at seducing them. Just thinking about it scares the hell out of me. I can imagine how they would feel in that situation, but living it is something completely different. For now, I have to let them know the terms.
If my calculations don't fail, I should find Ayumi in Class 1-B. There she is, just as I imagined. However, there are four men around her. Not surprising, considering her popularity and beauty. Maybe I should leave. In the end, I don't care about her. Why do I care so much about her today?
We switch to Ayumi's point of view just as Sora sees her.
"Ayumi, let's go to karaoke. I promise you'll like it," Saito says.
"I'm really sorry, but I can't today. I have other things to do," I reply in frustration.
These guys really wear my patience out. I've told them three times no, but they keep insisting.
"Come on, Ayumi. Have some fun with us," Akane insists.
"But really, I can't go. I have other responsibilities," I explain resignedly.
Damn, it's always the same thing. I just wanted to talk to Sora about meeting my mother, but maybe we should meet later and discuss it then. Wait, is Sora here? Did he come to see me or pick me up? God, this guy is really strange. I know he doesn't interact much with girls outside of his circle. This is really weird, but I like him. Wait, is he leaving? I should go after him.
-Sora, Sora, why are you leaving? Didn't you come to see me? -asks Ayumi.
-Not really. I was just passing by," replies Sora.
-This guy is really acting like a tsundere now," thinks Ayumi.
-Come on, Sora. Tell me why you came. Come on, if you tell me, I'll give you a present," says Ayumi.
-I don't want your gift, but it's okay. I have to tell you something," says Sora.
-Something, Sora. I knew you would. In the end, all men are the same. Well, you'll probably ask me to go to a love hotel. Pathetic," Ayumi thinks.
-Ayumi, I want to make it clear again that I don't like you. I don't want anything to do with you, let alone have contact inside the school," Sora says.
-But what the hell are you saying?
