CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE X QUINTS: Complicated Feelings

Please Stop Bothering Me pt 4

Getting off the elevator car, Ayanokouji subconsciously scanned the place. His gaze stretches from the left closed door which is the entrance/exit of the long staircase towards the other side where resting furniture was lined.

As he’d expected, the lobby is close to empty, only the staff and a few random faces were roaming in the place.

Ayanokouji sighed in relief knowing that he’d successfully avoided a certain person by heading out to school far earlier than yesterday.

He’d a feeling that she would wait for him today at the same time as they’d coincidentally met the other day.

Only for her to wait for nothing.

“Not my fault.” he mumbled to himself.

Ayanokouji was feeling lazier as days passed by. He didn't put any effort on his appearance today, just dressed in the required outfit for him to enter the school building — basically just wearing his uniform.

He stepped out of the first year dormitory building and was ready to head out straight to class, only to be caught off guard on something he didn't expect.

A girl with waist-length strawberry blonde hair leaned on the wall, humming a relaxing sound.

The sound of the automatic glass door opening distracts her attention and checks it.

Hazel brown and blue gradient met. Ichinose’s eyes sparkled and Ayanokouji was totally surprised.

“Good morning,” she waved her arm into the air, full of energy.

‘Give me a break.’ his apathetic face shows a bit of annoyance making the girl giggled.

Ayanokouji didn't expect this kind of ambush coming from Ichinose. It seems that his evaluation of Ichinose was slightly wrong. He is completely aware of her out of the blue foxy behaviors, but never imagined Ichinose to be this aggressive.

Moreover, her atmosphere was different from the other day. He doubts it is an influence from Ichika.

‘I wonder if….’

He pushed his thoughts on the back of his head, saving it up for later but totally prefers her to spill it out based on her personality.

Well the answer is obvious though.

Ayanokouji started walking while Ichinose remained on her spot, waiting for him so that they would go together, walking side by side.

Just as he was about to pass through her, she suddenly blocked his way. Her hands were on her back while staring at him, intimately.

“What? You found something funny in my face?”

Ichinose didn't say anything, she instead stretched out her arms towards him, making him more puzzled.

Although he can easily dodge, Ayanokouji just stands there, motionless, curious about what will happen.

Ichinose’s hand landed on his tie. She pulled the edge then pushed the lock, tucking in it.

“..Humm,” she hummed and lifted her face.

Their eyes met.

Ayanokouji was bewitched by the pair of blue. He couldn't cut his gaze from hers.

Ichinose moved closer. She leaned her hand to his chest and tiptoed, her face draws closer to his.

He feels her hot breath. Hearts beating faster, pounding at unimaginable speed.

She forward her arm towards his face, he was conflicted of what to do,

“Don’t–” he couldn't finish his words as she put her hand on top of his head and gently stroked his disheveled hair, fixing it.
