Mi-chan and Tatsuo-kun (COMPLETED)

Part Two

I tightened my ponytail and slung the bag on my shoulder. I blew a stray lock of hair away from my face. Today's class was boring. Its only been a week since junior high started but things were starting to get repetitive.

I rarely spend time with Tatsuo nowadays since he's been busy with schoolwork and club activities. Unfortunately for me, the swimming club was still in its recruiting phase so we never have time for club activities as the senpais were too busy sorting out the new recruits.

I sat on a bench at the back of the school, Tatsuo and I's usual meeting place. I looked at my wristwatch and decided to visit his clubroom.

I chuckled; maybe he needed help getting out of there.

Seeing as their clubroom door was left ajar, I peeked in.

I somehow expected to find Tatsuo in a bored state. I was expecting him to be waiting for me or something.

Instead, Tatsuo was preoccupied with knitting. A group of girls were also busy with themselves, some of them even crowded around him. They were singing compliments from left to right.

"Kiyoshi-san, thats amazing~"

"Wahh, Kiyoshi-kun can you teach us that technique you just used?"

"Master Kiyoshi is the best!!"

Tatsuo looked shy from their compliments. He whispered a small 'thank you' every now and then.

I smiled. He was finally making friends. They're more like fan girls but nonetheless, they were still friends.

Suddenly the door next to where Tatsuo was, opened. A very pretty girl appeared.

"President, welcome back."

"Everyone, the Pres. Is here~"

"Emiko-san!!"

Emiko Izumi?

I've heard her name multiple times floating around school. She was considered the campus belle in the school. She's said to be a beautiful, kind, and caring senpai.

The rumours didn't exaggerate at all. Her long silky black hair flowed gracefully behind her as she walked towards the group. She had very pleasing features as well; well-shaped eyebrows, big expressive eyes, a slender nose, and plump lips. Emiko-senpai was also mature for her age, both physically and mentally.

I looked at my own chest. I sighed.

Life is really unfair sometimes.

"Kiyoshi-san, do you need help?" She automatically sat herself beside Tatsuo.

"It's alright, senpai. I'm almost done anyways." Tatsuo looked up from his work with a smile.

Emiko-senpai hummed and took out her own knitting gear. She started unwinding the yarn. I was clueless about what she did afterwards that.

"Ne~ don't you think the two of them look good together?"

"They're so cute~~"

"They should definitely date!"

The others were whispering amongst themselves while occasionally shooting teasing glances at the two.

I took a closer look at the two sitting together. They gave off an image of 'two-newlyweds working in harmony'.

An uncomfortable feeling rose in my chest. I was confused.

The feeling intensified when Emiko-senpai suddenly laughed. The two looked to be talking and having a good time.
