Classroom of the Elite Year 2 Vol 11

Chapter 3: The nightmare I was most afraid of

"Ayanokoji-kun, we've only been kissing since I came in. Are you okay with how it's going?"

"We could do even more, I won't mind if it is with you, Ayanokoji-kun?"

"You sure, Ichinose? Then please don't mind if I go ahead."

"You might think, I'm some sort of a good girl but even I have these thoughts but not for anybody else, only for Ayanokoji-kun."

"I surely won't mind if you do so, in fact, I was waiting for you to ask me. For a moment, I started to think, you are not interested in me, and are only going along with my selfish requests even now."

"Ichnose, do you really think any boy would be fine just with kissing you?"

"But you're not just any boy, Ayanokoji-kun."

"Well, I'm going ahead. Pardon my actions!"

After this they did all sorts of things that could happen between a boy and a girl. I wanted to stop them but no matter how much I shouted, they wouldn't seem to be listening to me. They were lost in each other, without a care for a world outside that room.

That was the dream I had last night, I was always aware that Kiyotaka could leave me at some point when he won't find me of use anymore.

But once he confessed to me that night, I started to feel like he had sincerely fallen in love with me, though my heart, who was already his, wanted him to also fall in love with me even long before his confession.

I was still not sure because of how he just sees every other person as just tools, nothing more. But there was still a possibility that his feelings were real, we had spent so much time together so maybe it was possible if it was with me.

I know him better than anybody else, yeah even Ichinose don't understand him better than me. I thought no matter who comes in between Kiyotaka and me, nobody could change our relationship. We would graduate as couples, I had already considered possibilities of some small fights between us but something to this extent, I was just not prepared for it.

I know I'm saying this all just to console myself. But I don't want to wake up and go to school just to see Kiyotaka with someone else.

I wonder, would kiyotaka be wondering right now? Why haven't I picked his calls last night? Maybe he would be thinking I've a fever again and would rush here to check if everything is alright with me. I want all this to happen, Kiyotake please make my wish come true.

I know this all can just be a misunderstanding from my side, maybe nothing had happened between Ichinose and him yesterday. Maybe I'm overthinking it all.

I know him, he just won't fall for any girl because she is pretty. But then why did he let Ichinose hold his hands, wait maybe she is blackmailing him.

Nah, I doubt there is possibly anybody in our school who could blackmail him. Then did it all happen by his own choice? I don't understand why he would go alone in a room with Ichinose when he already has me.

Has he forgotten about all those gifts we exchanged? Has he forgotten about all those times we were together? Or has he also forgotten about the moments when our brain couldn't resist and we did let our bodies talk?

Phone started ringing ...

I picked up the phone and accepted the call.

"Kiyotaka ..?"

"It's me, Sato! Karuizawa-san"

I completely forgot, I told everything to Sato about Ichinose going alone in Kiyotaka's room. She might be worried about me, and wondering whether or not I'm coming to school today.

"Hello, Karuizawa-san ..? Are you there?"

"Hello, Sato-san! Good Morning!"

"Good Morning, Karuizawa-san!"

"Did you call Ayanokoji-kun after we talked yesterday?"

"No ... I don't know how I should even talk to him anymore."

"Karuizawa-san, if you won't discuss this matter with Ayanokoji-kun yourself, then this might get worse and in the worst scenario your relationship would never be as before."

"I know ... But if he says, he's fed up with me and wants to break up. I won't be able to accept that."

"I'm just not ready to face him right now, maybe I'd like to calm myself first and try talking to him tomorrow."

"But still I don't think that's the best idea, Karuizawa-san!"

"Well, first tell me whether or not you're coming to school today?"

"No ... I don't think, I would be coming to school"

"Karuizawa-san, I seriously think you and Ayanokoji-kun need to talk right now."

"Why are you giving up this soon? You haven't even listened to his side of the story yet."

"If you can't do it, I would ask him on your behalf. I would ask him in front of all the students and Chabashira-sensei, making sure he would have to answer my question."

"Sato-san, what are you talking about? Why'd you go this far just to help me?"

"Don't get me wrong, Karuizawa-san. I also like Ayanokoji-kun. I was okay with him being with you because you are my best friend."

"But if he's going to break up with you and patch up with someone who is not even in our class, how could I stay silent and watch like nothing happened ..!"

Ahh, this had completely slipped through my mind, Sato-san was also helplessly in love with Kiyotaka. She was silent all this time just because he was with her best friend.

"Are you really going to ask him in front of the whole class? Do you think it's the right choice?"

"Yes, I think it'd be best to ask Ayanokoji-kun upfront. Even someone like him won't be able to avoid the question if it is asked in front of sensei and other classmates."

I think Sato-san had already made up her mind, no matter what I tell her she won't be backing off now. Well, it is both for her and my sake now.

"So have you made up your mind, Karuizawa-san? Are you coming to school or not?"

"I'm still confused, but I want to listen to what Kiyotaka has to say otherwise I won't be taking a good sleep today."

I'm coming ... I muttered.
