I let out a calming breath.
I was waiting out in front of the school campus, waiting to go out with some others.
It's easy to forget just how big the school grounds are.
"We're in the same class, but we couldn't go together with Kushida-chan."
I recognized the voice, and turned towards the entrance of the school to see Ike, Yamauchi and Ayanokoji heading in my direction.
"She had to talk with one of her friends in another class. She's really popular after all."
"Perhaps she's talking to a guy?"
"Relax Ike, it's been confirmed, she's talking to a girl."
Their conversation halted as they noticed me ahead of them, and I shrunk a little under their gaze.
"Huh, didn't think he'd actually come. He always seems to run from interacting with people." Ike commented.
Yamauchi laughed.
"Well! The more the merrier!"
Without warning, he wrapped his arm around my neck, and started walking off again.
I glanced over at Ayanokoji, who looked away.
Jerk.
I was only here because Ayanokoji invited me. Apparently he was invited to hang out with Kushida, and I figured this would be the perfect time to get her to open up to me a bit more, to figure out if she was okay. I didn't think these two idiots were coming along.
The others picked up their conversation right where they left off.
"Are you guys seriously going for Kushida?"
"Of course! She's honestly my heart's desire."
Yamauchi clearly had the same opinion as Ike, nodding his head in agreement.
"You're going for Horikita right? She's pretty beautiful, so I'll give you that."
I gave Ayanokoji a look, and he waved his hand, objecting the words.
"No. There's nothing happening there, seriously."
"Really? During class, didn't you guys glance at each other and casually hold hands? That kind of bittersweet, irritating event?"
I was interested in that.
I'd not seen that, and honestly I'm sure Ike is pulling shit out of nowhere.
But meh, you never know.
They would look good together.
'The emotionless couple.' I can see it already.
"Sorry for being late! Thanks for waiting!"
We all looked over to see Kushida run up to us, along with a few others.
"Oh! We were waiting Kushida-chan, wait, why is Hirata here!?"
My eyes moved to glance at Hirata.
He gave me a smile, and waved at me.
He appeared to be better now, so I'm glad.
"Ah, Shizukana...kun."
I looked back at Kushida, giving her a shy smile.
"H-hello, Kushida-chan, I hope you d-don't mind me tagging along."
She laughed.
"Of course not! It's nice to see you again Shizukana-kun!"
