None of the characters from KCC or the story's original plot belong to me, they belong to Tomohito Oda.
This story is about a school life of 3 teenager students on the Itan Private High School:
One of them is named Henry Céspedes, and he is quite th...
The classes had just ended and we see our group of students (AKA: the wolfy, onion head and the sociophobics) spending a bit of time together.
Najimi: "Taking fast food takes like, around five minutes, so it might be okay, right? But on the bike parking there was this patrol guy and told me: "Hey you..." Oh, Komi, can we go to your place this time?"
Henry: 'Don't change the subject! What happened next?'
Najimi interrupted their story by asking Komi to let her friends spend the afternoon at her house, just like they did with Henry before.
Henry and Tadano could see a constant change on her scenography;she was conflicted. She always wanted to invite her friends over, but she was embarrassed of showing them her home life.
In the end, she nodded, but started shivering.
After a shortish long walk, Komi and her friends arrived at Komi's house. Najimi didn't think about it even twice, and barges in without even ringing the doorbell.
The rest of the group enters too, and they see a femenine figure standing in the hallway while holding the laundry.
Henry, Najimi and Tadano: 'She's so pretty! That aura... those eyes... that nose... that's defenitely Komi's mom!'
???: "Oh my! Are you Shouko's friends? Now this is new!"
This person had the same personality as a teenager, Henry, Tadano and Najimi were questioning who on earth was she, meanwhile Komi, was cringing behind them.
Henry: 'Um... who is she? Her mom? Sister? Cousin maybe?'
Shuuko: "Darling! Shosuke! Shouko had brought her friends over! Oh wait, they're not here yet, oopsie daisy!"

After that ridiculous scene with Komi's mother, the group finally entered her room. It was clean, ordered, barely any dust too. She even has the memento that Henry's brother, Nick, gave her hanging on the roof (it was a figurine of a cat astronaut, and Komi thought it was cute).
Henry, Tadano, Komi and Najimi were chatting and having fun together while trying to avoid speaking about the mother of Komi.
After a while, they sat and almost did nothing. Everyone wanted to break the ice, trying to say something, but couldn't. In the end, Shuuko brought everyone tea and snacks, saving them from the torment that was an akward silence.
Najimi: "Hey, can I use the bathroom?"
Henry: "Oh, I need to go too."
Komi: "Sure, no problem, it's on the left after you turn right when you leave the room."
Najimi and Henry "went" to the bathroom, however, Najimi was actually being a picard, Henry did go to the bathroom, but Najimi was actually spying on Komi and Tadano to see if they were going to do something while they were alone.
They waited 3 minutes and nothing happened, then Henry say what Najimi was doing and just decided to do nothing, knowing that nothing would happen at all.
Najimi waited about 15 minutes and they didn't even feel akward together. Najimi was disappointed.
Tadano: "Took you long enough."
Henry: "They were lying, they didn't actually go to the bathroom, they were spying on you to see if something happens, but it didn't."
Komi: "That... explains it..."
Najimi knew that Komi had something no one wants to see, something embarrassing, that kind of thing you don't want others to know about, not even your parents.
As Najimi began to search underneath Komi's bed, she started to enter on her panic mode. After a pause, Najimi did find something under Komi's bed: Books on tutorials about how to communicate with others.
That wasn't enough for Najimi, as something catched their eye: Komi's photo album. Najimi asked Komi if they could see it. Henry was facepalming, Tadano was angry ant Najimi for being a nuisance (as per usual) and Komi was emaciated, but nodded and allowed them to see it.
They saw different pictures of a young Komi doing some activities: Piano, calligraphy, swimming... but then they saw a picture of her struggling with English too (okay, they are actually speaking japanese, but you guys are reading it on English because I doubt you'd go to google translate the whole story.), so Komi has always been Komi.
In the end, Tadano, Najimi and Henry ended up staying until very late.
Henry: "Sorry we stayed until so late Komi, I hope it doesn't bother you."
Komi denied that statement shaking her head left and right.
Komi: "I actually had fun, don't worry for not cleaning or anything."
Henry: "Okay, thanks for having us, see you tomorrow!"
Najimi: "C'ya!"
Tadano: "Bye Komi!"
After saying goodbye, Komi entered her room and say how disordered it was, but she didn't care. However, her phone suddenly rang.
Najimi had sent her a message with a photo that they secretly took of her and Tadano being face to face and Henry chatting with them.
Komi asked her mother about a new picture frame, this shocked her since Komi usually doesn't ask for anything.
In the end, the picture of Komi and her friends is now hanging on top of her window, while Komi's giving a joyful smile.
