Classroom of the Elite: OC the unpolished diamond

Volume 1: Study group

Chapter 5

Yato Pov:

After a moment in the infirmary of the school...

Nurse: The bleeding has stopped now. It will heal quickly enough that you can return to your class.

Yato: Okay, thanks.

I got up and left the infirmary. When I was out of the room, the first thing I saw was two of my classmates waiting a little further.

Yato: Ayanokoji and Horikita huh? Are you skipping class or what?

I said that to these two, but my attention and gaze fell on the girl, Horikita...

Horikita: No. Right now, the others are discussing what we should do to save our class, but the two of us decided not to participate in the conversation.

Yato: I see...but that still does not explain why you are here.

I then started looking at the other guy named Ayanokoji...

Ayanokoji: Horikita has some questions for you but before that...Are you fine? I mean, is your lip injury fine?

I looked at him in silence for a moment until I just nodded...

Yato: Oh, there was nothing to worry about...but still. Thanks for your concern, Ayanokoji.

Ayanakoji Kiyotaka always follows Horikita wherever she goes. I didn't have too much opinion on him until now. There was something that bothered me when Chabashira-Sensei explained the reason we got zero points this month. When everyone in the class was surprised or panicked, with a few exceptions like Koenji, this Ayanokoji dude still had no reaction or emotion. Why? There is something fishy about this guy.

Yato: Anyway...

Again, I switched my attention to Horikita.

Yato: Horikita, do you have some questions for me? You know...it's essential to be able to have proper conversation instead of ignoring people~~

Horikita: My. It seems that ignoring the person you are has truly hurt your pride.

Yato: Hahaha~~ And the hurt prideful person I am is about to ditch both of you here if you don't speak up~~

As I gave her a passive-aggressive answer with a smile, she stayed silent, her arms crossed.

However...

As she was about to speak, a voice came out from the loudspeaker.

Loudspeaker: Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from D-Class. Chabashira-sensei is calling for you. Please come to the staff room.

Yato: Looks like the teacher called you...

Ayanokoji: Yeah... sorry. I'll be going.

As he started to walk away, I decided to look at him doing so. 

Why would Chabashira-sensei want to meet him in her office?

Yato: ...

But as I was looking at him walking away, I felt Horikita's gaze on me...

Yato: Sighs...

Ayanokoji was soon out of sight, so I just decided to look at Horikita, who was before me.

Yato: So what's on your mind, Horikita? Why are you waiting for me here?

She remained silent while keeping her gaze on me as if she was trying to read me until...

Horikita: What were your feelings when Chabashira-sensei said the reason that you had been put in D-class?

Yato: What were my feelings? Let me answer your question with another question. Why would I give you my resentment about my placement? After all, you ignored me not once but twice when I tried to talk to you...what changed for you to come to me and finally speak to me?
