Class B

V1: Chapter 15

Honami's POV

"I like you."

Huh?

Eh?

What?

"My apologies Senpai, could you repeat that?" I asked the blonde male in front of me.

"I like you." He smugly said, his cheek resting against his palms, staring at my face.

I was now... uncomfortable.

I don't think I particularly did anything of the sort to make him like me.

"Would you like some tea?" He asked, getting up and boiling the kettle.

"S-sure?" I replied, confused about the current predicament I was in.

"I like you." Again? Why does he keep saying that?

I bowed in front of him slightly and was about to start speaking before he put a finger to my lips.

"Drink this tea." He handed me the cup and I awkwardly took it. This is the first confession I've received from a boy, is this how it's supposed to go?

I slowly sipped on the tea and as he watched me, a smirk slowly manifested on his face.

The next thing I knew, I was blacked out.

—

"Hm? What happened?" I said, getting up from wherever I was. All I remember was going to the Student Council room and seeing Nagumo-Senpai.

"Are you alright?" A panicked voice asked, evidently worried for me.

"Yeah, my head just hurts a little, where's my phone?" I patted my pockets and took my phone out of my pocket, checking the time. It was already 7 pm?! It was only 2 when I went to the student council office.

I looked around and noticed I was in an unfamiliar room, "Where am I?" I turned to my left and saw Nagumo-Senpai with a worried look on his face.

"Aha," He scratched the back of his head, "I brought you to my room since you just passed out, sorry if it makes you uncomfortable." He replied.

Passed out? Why did I suddenly pass out?

"I see, thank you for looking after me," I bowed after standing up, "I should take my leave, shouldn't I?" I said, beginning to walk to the door since all the dorms were the same and had the same layout.

"Dinner is nearly finished, wouldn't you mind staying?" He asked, calling out to me.

For some unbeknownst reason, I felt like something was going on behind the scenes. Yes, Nagumo-Senpai has always been kind to me, and yes, I do have him in a positive light but why did I feel like something was wrong?

"If it's nearly done then there shouldn't be a problem with me staying, I'll just have to eat quick since it's getting late."

Would Kiyotaka be annoyed with me for staying in another man's room? I hope not.

Dinner was soon served and we sat at the table in silence.

"Ichinose." His voice sounded different to earlier, much less nice.

"Why are you in class B?" He asked me.

My breath hitched as I slowly picked up the piece of food with my chopstick.

"I don't particularly know, Senpai," I replied.

I lied. I knew very well of the fact in which I was placed in Class B. It haunts me to this very day.

Not to be egotistical or anything but I have strong academic grades, I'm within the top ten in our year and my athletic abilities are also very good. Most would say that my personality is on par, if not better than my previous skills but everyone has a flaw. Whether you're a genius or a prodigy, you have a flaw, and my flaw has a bigger impact on me than anything else in this world.
