Why do I have such bad luck?
It all started that weekend when I heard a voice in my head telling me to run, at first I didn't pay attention to it and I just played video games, but after a while the voice became louder.
It was a very unpleasant feeling.
I tried not to think about it, but it got to the point where it became unbearable.
Inner Rito: {Run... They're going to... Snatch her away...}
When I heard that I couldn't take it anymore, I ran out of the house at full speed, leaving Mikan alone. At that moment, I felt that if I didn't listen to that voice I was going to lose something very precious to me and I would never have another chance to get it back.
Inner Rito: {Run... Straight... To the... Right}
The voice I heard was practically just whispers, but something about how it sounded made me feel strange, it was a man's voice, but the strange thing is that it felt like I had already heard it somewhere else.
I don't know why, but I was sure that voice was guiding me to something important, so I listened to it without hesitating even for a second.
The result...
I ended up falling down when I stepped on what I think was dog shit...
To this day I wonder, who was the stupid person who didn't realize that their dog was relieving itself in the middle of the street? I wish I had that person in front of me to give him a Punch.
And that was not the worst part...
In my confusion I ended up touching the shit with my hands.
I usually have bad luck, but never to that extreme, I just hope it is not a bad sign.
Although it was a rather strange situation, I quickly put it aside, although I wonder what that strange voice was, after that I did not hear it again, although I was looking for a while in the end I did not find anything so I ended up quickly returning to my house to clean myself.
I felt a little uncomfortable with the way Mikan received me when I came back, I understand that he was angry, after all I ran out while we were in the middle of dinner, but he doesn't have to be so cruel to me either, sometimes I wish he respected me more as his older brother.
It's true that she takes care of most of the housework, like cooking, cleaning, washing and shopping. But I also take care of the plants in the garden, sometimes I wish he would give me some credit for how hard I work.
When I went to sleep everything that had happened stopped mattering to me, the only thing that was going through my mind was:
Rito: (Tomorrow I will definitely confess my feelings to Haruna-chan!)
Just thinking about Haruna-chan made all my worries dissipate, although I feel a little nervous thinking that tomorrow I'm going to confess my feelings to her.
After that, everything went normally until the next day. I woke up a little late and after breakfast I left quickly for high school.
Or at least that's the way it should have been...
While I was absentmindedly thinking of ways to confess my feelings to Haruna-chan, a guy I had never seen before suddenly appeared in the classroom.
He was quite tall and his build was stocky and muscular, even with his uniform on it was impossible to hide those muscles that were like those of a professional bodybuilder. His hair was black with a few strands of red, it was also styled with bangs sticking out on his right side and his eyes were red.
If we looked only at his appearance, he was definitely the most handsome in the classroom, even I could not help but feel inferior, next to him I was like a simple dry twig of a tree, plus the firm and confident way he walked intimidated me a little.
Although I plucked up the courage to ask him who he was, I couldn't help but tremble with fear.
But even though I could talk to him, I couldn't understand what he wanted to tell me, besides, how the hell did he know my name, was he a... Stalker.
But all that stopped mattering to me almost instantly, I no longer cared who this guy was, why did he sit in Saruyama's seat like it was nothing? How did he know my name? None of that mattered to me anymore, because there she was.
Who walked through the door with her usual peaceful smile that can make anyone feel at ease, was none other than my beloved Haruna-chan.
Phew...
Even I don't know exactly when it was that I started seeing her as a love interest, but before I knew it I found myself already adoring her, she is such a kind girl and good to everyone equally, that's one of the things I like most about her.
The only problem is that whenever I try to talk to her I always end up stuttering or falling down in a weird way, since high school started last week, I've only been able to talk to her twice, and that was only possible because Saruyama gave me the opportunity, otherwise at this rate I'd still be just watching her from a bush like a stalker.
I wonder if I should listen to what Saruyama always tells me.
Kenichi: "Hey Rito, are you sure you want to confess so soon? Not to be a spoilsport, but even though you and Sairenji have known each other since middle school, you've barely interacted alone, although I have no doubt that you two would make a good couple... But, don't you think it would be better if you first get used to talking normally with her before asking her to be your girlfriend? If I'm being honest, I find it a little creepy to see you stalking her and following her around while you do nothing but watch her."
Although at that moment I got angry and ended up ignoring him, I have to admit that he was not wrong, I am not even able to have a casual conversation with her unless we are talking to someone else. Besides, whenever I try to confess my feelings to her something strange happens, like the other day when I was about to talk to her and a masseter fell on my head, or the day before that someone suddenly opened the door and hit me in the face, or the day before that I fell down a hole.
Whenever I try to confess my feelings to her something ends up happening to me that prevents me from doing so, plus I also have that other problem that I always have accidents that make me touch girls in a perverted way.
Although it is an inconvenience, I can't deny that thanks to that I have had the opportunity to touch Haruna-chan several times in an intimate way and it has also happened to me with several other girls, I know I shouldn't feel happy about that, but I am also a man in my adolescence, even though I always complain about it, the reality is that deep down I feel somewhat lucky.
Since it's always accidents the girls always tend to forgive me so I guess there shouldn't be any problem with me enjoying it a bit, plus I can't deny that I have a bit of fun seeing the jealous face of the guys, especially Saruyama.
Even though he's my best friend, because of him I've been called a pervert more than once, so it's a little revenge.
While I was immersed in my thoughts, Haruna-chan started to approach while greeting everyone with a happy smile, she came walking straight in my direction.
The thought of Haruna-chan greeting me with her usual happy smile made me nervous, so I kept quiet waiting for her greeting with anticipation.
But out of any of my fantasies, Haruna-chan stood in front of the unknown boy who was sitting in Saruyama's seat and with one of the brightest smiles I had ever seen her make said:
Haruna: "Good morning, Saruyama-kun."
Rito: "..."
...
...
...
I think I was not the only one who remained silent for several seconds...
She just said...
Saruyama?
I unconsciously turned my head to look at the guy sitting behind me, but no matter where I looked I couldn't find any similarity between him and Saruyama, for starters Saruyama always had a carefree and funny look, plus the way he behaved all the time made him look like a perverted monkey.
...
...
...
Wait...
Was it really him?
His voice may have resembled him, but everything about him was completely different, plus he suddenly started spouting a ridiculous story, in which he told us that his change of appearance was due to a special body that his family members inherited from time to time.
Although it was a ridiculous and nonsensical story, for some strange reason everyone believed it immediately, perhaps I'm the only sane one in the classroom, but as I wandered in my thoughts I realized something that made me feel uncomfortable.
Inner Rito: {Why did Haruna-chan immediately know it was him?}
It is assumed that she and Saruyama have never had any kind of deep contact, they have only been classmates.
Then...
Inner Rito: {Why does she look so happy while talking to him?}
Also because of me talking to him, Haruna-chan completely forgot to greet me.
Inner Rito: {It's because of him! If Haruna-chan hadn't been distracted chatting with him she definitely would have greeted me with a smile just as happy!}
As the day went on, I became more and more convinced that this guy was definitely not Saruyama, apart from the fact that now he was not eating girls with his eyes, at no time did he approach me to encourage me, at this point he should have already approached me to ask me how I was and to encourage me to confess my feelings to Haruna-chan, but at no time did he do so.
He just invited me to have lunch with him and other guys in the class, but I was so uncomfortable with his presence that I ended up rejecting him and ran out of the classroom.
And so the days went by, but at no time I could not get rid of this discomfort, because of that I could not confess my feelings to Haruna-chan and I just watched her from afar.
Until today came...
I only left for a moment to go to the bathroom, but when I came back I found a scene that I would rather erase from my head...
Saruyama was sitting in his seat, but for some strange reason Ayana-sensei was sitting on him in a compromising manner, while Yame-san and Haruna-chan were trying to separate them.
But I didn't care about that...
What really disturbed me was...
Inner Rito: {Why is Haruna-chan pressing her breasts against Saruyama's face?}
Why did Saruyama just sit there and isn't doing anything to push her away?
Inner Rito: {We're not supposed to be friends}
Then why was he so attached to Haruna-chan.
Inner Rito: {He should know that I'm in love with her... Then why is he just sitting there doing nothing? In this situation isn't he supposed to push her aside, hasn't he realized that he's touching her in a compromising way?}
How can he let that happen and act like nothing happened, he just touched Haruna-chan's breasts.
Inner Rito: {Those breasts are supposed to be for me only}
When I couldn't take it anymore, I ended up running away while my mind was in complete chaos. Before I knew it, I was already at home.
