Chapter 11 (Okasawa)
"*Sigh...*"
What's been the matter with me? For the past few days, I've been unable to get any form of sleep. Just tossing and turning. And in class today, I haven't been able to pay attention. All this was because... Hayake-kun... He started hanging out with Hinako-san. It was so sudden too. They haven't spoken a word to each other in their first year, but now I hear that they've been talking on a regular basis. Some have even gone as far as to say that Hayake-kun is planning to ask Hinako-san to prom.
"...! Mmh! Mmh! Mmh!"
No, no, no! Shake away the thought! Hinako-san has always hated the idea of prom! She even said that she wasn't planning on going this year! T-Take deep breaths. Deep breaths to calm yourself down.
"..."
Maybe... I should talk about it with someone. That might make me feel a bit better.
"Ai-san."
"..."
"Ai-san?"
"..."
The person sitting next to me in my English class was Ai Ka. One of my closest friends. She's in the same year as me, and we've been friends since elementary school. The best way to describe her is...
"Zzzzzzzz..."
She's always sleeping. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I heard from her parents that she usually sleeps around sixteen hours a day. It's almost scary. To think someone could sleep like that on a consistent basis. Slightly nudging her shoulder, I tried to shake Ai awake.
"A-Ai-san. Can you hear me?"
"Mmh...?"
No good. She can't hear me. Hah... I won't interrupt her sleep if she's that into it.
"..."
But... Then what should I do?
*Sliide!*
"...!"
The teacher walked in. Class is starting.
"Everyone. Please open your textbooks."
...
"One day, I would like to show you the stars. Class. What makes this different from the previous sentence?"
*Shake. Shake.*
I can't even focus. The rumors surrounding Hayake-kun and Hinako-san have been getting to me. I know that they're just rumors, but...
"..."
Maybe... It's true. They actually liked each other from the very start.
"...!"
W-W-What am I thinking?!
*Thwack!*
"Ow!"
A-A book?
"Hirano-san. If it isn't too much to ask, can you please pay attention?"
"Ah-."
I was shaking my head really fast during the middle of class. That must've gotten the teacher's attention. After I apologized, the teacher went on to continue her lesson. We were studying English, so it was something I had to pay attention to, but...
"..."
I wonder if he's in gym class. I didn't see him in my gym period, so he might be in the one after lunch. But if he is, then-.
