High school days with you (Thomato)

Chapter 20: Jealous

The subject was: Summary for college exams and escape low scores

Ayato slowly put down his pen and frowned at the message. The email was brand new, it was not in his friend list either.

His first thought was that it was spam.

When school started, he put his own phone number as parental contact number. Because of his grades, teachers would occasionally message: Hello parent of Kamisato Ayato, we would like to have permission from you if Ayato could stay back to revise, our teachers are very capable and are willing to help him tutor one on one……..”

Several people will crowd in front of Inazuma High, disturbing flyers and trying to give talks. One day, they ran into one. Thoma immediately said, “no.”

But they refused to give up, they kept on asking, “If we could have a moment, can we……..”

“I said no, I don’t want to know.” Thoma frowned, “And can you please move? You are blocking the way.”

Ayato clicked on the message, but it wasn't spam, it was actually a summary of exams, there were no advertisements nor any weird links.

The guide was straightforward and clear.

Thoma had stayed up late to write the guide, once he was done, he placed his phone on his desk and crashed onto his bed.

His phone vibrated.

[Kamisato Ayato]: Kong-ge, did you send me the study guide? Can you please stop?

[Aether]: What study guide?

[Kamisato Ayato]: You weren’t the one that sent that to me?

They all thought for a while, and then Heizou started to share his theory.

[Shikanoin Heizou]: Wait, how about this…..A shy and very smart girl had a crush on Ayato for a long time but knowing that she can’t have him, she could only watch him from afar. And seeing Ayato’s grades, she decided to help him improve so that’s how Ayato got that email.

Everyone then started to agree.

[Lumine]: Make sense.

[Kamisato Ayato]: Ah, is that so?

Thoma stared at the messages and then buried his face into his pillow.

The next day, he continued the study guide and sent them to Ayato, “Don’t always be in your room, come out and eat.” Thoma’s mom said, “Okay, I’ll be there.”

When he finished eating, he went back to his room and found a new message. The subject was: Loving me is pointless.

Thoma scroll through and read the message: I already have a partner, so stop sending this thing. Friend, I really don’t know who you are but I hope you understand.

He stared at the rejection letter for a long time and then mumbled to himself, “Damn, I’m the partner.”

Thoma suddenly received a call from Ayato.

“What are you doing?”

Thoma stared at his PC and then said, “Playing games.”

“What game?”

“Urm, Love Live.”

There was silence, Thoma could hear some paper flipping from the other side, “What are you doing?”

Ayato didn’t answer, he quickly changed the topic, “Are you still wearing the bracelet?”

“Mn,” Thoma hummed in response.

Although they weren’t physically together, they both felt that the other was near.

The weekends are over, when Thoma reaches the classroom, their homeroom teacher hasn't arrived yet.

A few minutes later, Zhongli came in. He started the lesson by going through some comprehension questions with the class, and he kept on picking Ayato to answer.

“Ayato, stand up. Can you answer this question? Why did the author start crying?”

Ayato came up with a lot of amazing responses, the whole class started laughing before he could even say anything.

“Why are you all laughing?” Zhongli frowned.

“To show him respect,” Aether said, “What is your answer Ayato?”

Ayato stood up and looked at the teacher awkwardly, he then opened his mouth, “Maybe he has some fragile psychology, or he has an eye infection?”

Thoma rubbed his forehead in despair.

Zhongli was even in more despair than Thoma, he sighed and walked back to the front. Not saying a word.

When he left the classroom, Lumine started talking about the school anniversary and that they are going to hold an arts festival. Events like this, classes will have to pick to dance, sing or do a skit.

“Are you going?” Ayato leaned on Thoma.

“No,” Thoma said immediately.

“But you get to wear those clips again.”

Thoma stared at his deskmate, “Don’t mention it or else I’ll punch you.”

“But you will look cute in the-”

The sound of someone kicking the chair was very familiar. Everyone heard a loud crash at the back row, Aether glanced backwards and then said calmly, “Oh, let’s ignore them. What were you saying?”

“Are you really hitting me?” Ayato grinned while dodging Thoma’s punches, he grabbed onto his wrist and pulled him close, “Are you hitting your boyfriend?”

“You asked for it.”

Lunch break started, Thoma was about to head out to buy soya milk but then he suddenly heard Ayato cursed.

He sat back down his seat and leaned over, he glanced at the screen and saw a girl character.

Thoma took one earbud and placed it in his ear, he heard a girl voice, “I’m new here and don’t know how to play this game, so can you protect me later?”

Thoma did not say anything, he looked at his boyfriend and said, “You are living the good life Ge, even helping girls.”

“No,” Ayato immediately replied. Itto was supposed to teach this girl but he went to the toilet and left her with him.

Although Ayato liked the look of his boyfriend being jealous, he turned off the mic and said, “I don’t know her, she is some girl Itto is teaching, I really don’t know her.”

Thoma said, “If you don’t know her, why did he ask you for help?”

“Because he needs to go to the toilet,” Ayato replied.

“He asks you out of all people, you do this often, do you?”

Ayato was speechless, he stared at Thoma for a while, the girl was still talking but he heard none of it.

My housewife is usually so cold but now he is throwing a tantrum, he is damn cute.

The girl is clearly interested in Ayato, but he didn’t say much.

-Gege, you are from Inazuma High?

-Do you have a girlfriend?

Ayato isn’t so harsh like Thoma, when he reads the message in the chat, he simply replies, “I have a boyfriend.”

(A/N: I love Heizou's design, don't know why ppl dislike it so much. I think he is very cute)
