The Genius of White

Chapter -3 Part -4

Sakura POV

"Is anybody out there! Please help me!" I was banging on the door for some time, hoping that someone will hear it and be able to help me out. It has been two hours since I was locked in this storeroom. Why is this happening to me? I was just want to live my life as quietly as possible.

Flashback

Because of my social anxiety, I was never able to make a single friend throughout my school life. And I know it going to be the same thing here. But I'm okay with that. That's why I like photography. It's a single person active. I was convinced that I don't any other person to enjoy my school life.

Then coincidentally I meet up with Ichinose-san. She was the leader of Class B and the most popular girl in the school. At first, I was hesitant to talk to her since she was a student from another class but as we talk a little bit, I was able to feel relaxed around her.

Ichinose-san feels completely different from Kushida-san, another girl from my class who was also very popular among the students. Kushida-san emotion or her smile feels forced while Ichinose smile feels genuine. Ichinose-San becomes my first friend in this school

Because Ichinose-San was the leader of Class B, we aren't able to spend much time together, regardless I am happy that I can make at least one friend in this school who I can talk to freely.

One evening I was looking for a perfect angle to take a beautiful photo of the sunset. When I got near the window, I saw a group of students circling a student from my class whose name I think is Ayanokōji-Kun. They were insulting him. Without thinking I take few photos of them.

After some time they let him go unharmed. I took a sigh of relief. Just as when I thought everything is good, another student comes up and start beating the others. I don't know what to do, so I take few more photos of them and then got out there.

And on next day, I found out that Ayanokōji-Kun was accused of beating some of the Class C students, which confused me. It's was the other guy who beat them up, then why did they all blame Ayanokōji-Kun. I want to say Ayanokōji-Kun is innocent and I have the proof of it but I couldn't gather enough courage to say that in front of the whole class.

Then I decided to directly talk to Ayanokōji-Kun about this. But as soon as class finished he was surrounded by the other students, so I left the classroom without saying anything. Since I don't know him at all, I couldn't find him outside the school building. I left with only one option which is to go to his room.

I asked the receptionist in our dorms building about Ayanokōji-Kun's room number. Nervously I make my way towards the boys' floor. Luckily there are not many students outside their room. Upon reaching his room, I hesitated to knock on his door. What if he didn't yell at me or become angry for not tell him sooner. Then I mentally prepared myself and was about to knock on his door, when somebody call me out.

"Hello, is there anything you need from me?" Upon hearing someone voice, I almost got a heart attack. I quickly recovered and saw Ayanokōji-Kun was standing there.

"Ah, I just.... um...." I shuttered. I couldn't even able to make eye contact with him.

"Don't need to rush yourself. Take your time," He said in a calming manner. I look at him for a second. Then look away from embarrassment.
