"You failed even at such a good moment, you useless garbage"
I felt like crying.
"Sakamoto-kun, what did you mean by "you failed"?"
Once we were back in class F, we gathered around Yuuji's seat. Yuuji, the main organizer of the Summoning War against Class D, seemed to have finished his job. And he was just sitting there, sighing while shaking his head.
"You still dare to talk?! Because you idiot ran away at the last minute, all our efforts are in vain now. After witnessing such a scene, no one in their right mind would believe that Shimada and Akihisa are in a relationship."
Then, Yuuji hit my head with a rolled-up script.
Muu......I was thinking about my beet red wrist at that moment, and didn't even know what happened. Did my acting skills really suck?
"I'd say, the only good news is that Shimada looks as if she harbors affection for Yoshii...... but this alone won't be enough to cause that Shimizu to freak out."
Hideyoshi, who was standing beside Yuuji, let out a sigh. If it was just Yuuji alone saying it, I wouldn't have minded, but now that even Hideyoshi said that, then it must be true. Damn it, we failed again......
"Even if you want to have another go, Shimada is still quite pissed off, and you even happily came back to class together with Himeji......"
I turned my head to look at Minami's seat, which was pretty far from Yuuji's, but Minami just let out a "Hmmph" and looked away when she noticed me. It's over for me; she looks mad.
"I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone back to class together with Akihisa-kun, it would have been weird if Minami-chan and Akihisa-kun were having a relationship for real......"
"Actually, there shouldn't be any problem since both of you are classmates....I'd think that the real problem was that Akihisa dumped Shimada, and then you two came back for now. Ignoring what others think, Shimada's thoughts are obvious, right?"
Although it was all just an act, I, who was acting as Minami's boyfriend, came back to class with Himeji-san instead, so this must've hurt Minami's pride. I never meant for that to happen all along......
"Never mind that, Akihisa, you should apologize to Shimada."
Yuuji pointed at her direction with his chin.
Yuuji's right. Minami was angry at me all along. She agreed to act with me even though she was reluctant, and I embarrassed her in the end. This must've been very unreasonable to her. I should really apologize to her.
"You're right. I'll apologize to her now."
I stood up and walk towards Minami's seat.
Although my intentions were good, it still couldn't change the fact that I hurt her.
"Minami, about that......"
I stuttered to Minami, who was unhappy and gazing outside the window.
"......What do you want?"
She might have replied, but she still wouldn't look at me. She stared at me from the corner of her eye for only a moment.
"About that, I'm really sorry."
I still couldn't raise my head even though I knew that she was looking elsewhere. She still wouldn't look at me, not even once.
"I don't want to bother you anymore. Don't you prefer hanging out with Mizuki?"
"No, it was just a coincidence that I met Himeji-san at the corridor."
"I don't want to listen to your excuses."
