***OUR POV***

Soon after the confession, Sakurai left Ichinose stranded alone on top of the school building as she slumped on her knees, showing just how intense this situation had turned into.

As she was busy reminiscing about what just happened, his face came into her mind and she felt butterflies in her stomach.

The more she tried erasing those thoughts, the more she thought about him and felt her chest getting tighter and tighter and as someone who was well informed about these things, she was not dense.

She knew exactly what had happened to her.

No, she knew exactly what was happening to her!

She just didn't want to believe and admit it.

Everything that happened at that time was very weird.

She never expected that things would turn out like that.

Not even in her wildest dreams.

Like who the hell would catch strong feelings in a situation like that?

As strength was still sapped from her legs it took her a while to finally get up and head home.

Still, even as she headed home, she could not stop thinking about him.

Ever since she got that fluffy feeling in her chest, it never left her.

It was like a parasite.

Feeding onto its host until it devoured her whole.

The next day was just a normal day just like everyday for everyone else except for that one girl who recently caught feelings and also found it very rough.

During lunch break, when Ichinose was busy chatting with her friends like usual, it only took an unintentional momentary glance to spot Sakurai coming from the opposite direction and her heart fluttered.

If wasn't for the people around, she would have swooned without realizing it.

What was worse was that the guy in question looked like he was coming to her as he was approaching her closer and closer, and Ichinose was sure she would faint.

It was a first time experience for her after all.

After laughing at her best friend, Inori for falling in love and bragging about such trivial things not worth her time, she was exasperated to be caught in such a similar situation.

Only difference is that she messed it up!

But as expected, the unexpected happened as Sakurai just passed by her like the wind, without even sparing a single glance at her as he continued walking to where he was headed, wherever that was.

The cafeteria maybe?

"Ichi?"

As a result, she frowned without realizing it.

"Ichi…?"

Because something was wrong.

She was completely ignored as if she didn't exist.

"ICHINOSE?!" this time Inori almost shouted.

"WHAT?!" she didn't even realize that she replied with the same volume and an irritated voice to boot.

"Whoa, whoa, easy gal, you just look kind of lost about something?"

"Do I?" She replied in a monotone voice.

"You can tell me anything, what's wrong?"

"Just something on my mind, don't think too much about it."

"Something is definitely suspicious, I can smell it."

"Since when have you ever been perceptive. Is this a joke?"

"Really?" Inori stared at Ichinose with a piercing gaze.

"Fine. Ask me anything you wanna know about."

"Nothing ,I guess. Oh, which reminds me, speaking of which, how did yesterday's confession go and who was the lucky guy? Was he hot? Tell me all the juicy details." Inori asked with sparkling eyes as innocent as a baby's.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Just that question alone was enough to make Ichinose flinch as she remembered everything that happened yesterday.

She started sweating profusely, as she didn't know how to respond.

She was overreacting.

But as she was already a good actor, she could overcome anything with pinpoint perfection.

"Well, it was one of those average disgusting perverts who think they have a shot at me? The guy couldn't help but stare at my chest?"

"Oh." Inori said as she glanced over her own chest.

Its not like Inori was ugly in any way, it was just that her puberty was hitting late!

"Don't worry, you'll develop in no time."

"Really?"

"I'm definitely sure of it."

"They say that a girl's boobs grow bigger if they are fondled by someone they love. Maybe I may ask Japana to do it for me."

"Hold your horses Inori, just hold on a minute. Where are you getting that type of content from?"

"Ha-ha~, it's a secret. By the way I'm still curious to know who the guy is?"

"Hmm? Can't even remember the name. I found it unnecessary."

"Okay, at least tell me what he looked like?"

"Well…" she said as she was crossing her hands to her back, in order to catch a grip of herself as his face flashed in her mind. She had to dig her nails hard into her palms just to keep a straight face.

Just telling the truth would be very troublesome.

"Black hair, black eyes, just like everyone else."

"You didn't tell me anything about what he looked like. Most of the guys in the school are like that. I need a better description in order to know exactly who it is."

But that was the point, she didn't want her friend to know in fear of knowing how she would react. Based on their previous discussions of guys they were dreamy about, this was not close to that.

Talk about bragging your standards.

"Lets see. He had unkempt hair, tall and I think he was a senior."

"Really, how did you turn him down? It must have been fun!"

"Does that really matter?"

"You always tell me some exciting information about how you did the other guys. But since this time your answers are too boring, I don't think I want to know anymore." Inori said losing interest.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to get some food, Ichi."

"Don't feel like it."

"Even if that's the case, you are coming with me."

"Why don't you go with your boyfriend? Aren't you two dating?"

"I am going to buy some food for him while we're at it. You know as much as I do that he doesn't budge when he puts his mind to it."

"Urgh, fine."

Despite seeming uninterested, she was the most excited of them both.

She felt excited because that's where he went to.

The boy she was now fully conscious about.

She felt a burning passion to see his face again.

As always, there were other people who were always conscious of her whether be it girls or boys especially the boys and she always dismissed them like she usually does.

She only wanted one person to look at her now.

And the person in particular never even noticed that she was there as he was busy chatting up with his friends.

He seemed so happy without her.

And she never knew if she would ever find the chance to apologize.

Hopefully, she would.

Before it's too late.

And the next day, there were joint PE classes for everyone and Sakurai…

Well…

***SAKURAI***

Yes, of course. Today is a very exciting day indeed.

They say something exciting in need is something very exciting indeed.

After all, after just a full day, I had finally recovered from that state of madness. I could have sworn I wasn't in my right mind at the time. But who cares, the past is the past.

For you can see the new me now!

Yeah, baby!

These joint sessions are done once every week, and I get to see a lot of girls doing different activities.

And by 'I', I meant we, the boys.

No, I'm not alone on this one.

Just believe me for once.

All different types, from huge knockers to ironing boards, I get to see a very spectacular view.

From plump and soft to perky and soft, it doesn't matter.

I- eh we just want. To. See!

See as far as the horizon can take us.

If there was a sunset right now, I would be looking at it, peeking through my fingers as it looks cool.

Wait, we are not talking about the horizon right now!

Can we get to high school soon?

To be precise, can't the freaking DET just happen already?

I want to see.

We want to see!

I want these visuals to improve!

Hopefully, my #@*&#

The only thing which wrecked this perfect sight of mine were their uncanny reactions to THOSE HOT GUYS but what can I do about that. All I can do is just watch.

As usual, girls were swarming ridiculously around Tamaki and his other crew hoping to get his attention as some of them shortened their shorts even further exposing more their legs while others wore tight t-shirts.

Groups of friends had already started to meet up everywhere whether they were completely made up of boys only, girls only or mixed with most of them being mixed.

-Whack!

Who the fuck dares to hit-

Oh, it's just Mitsuki.

"Those are some greedy eyes you got there. I cannot believe how much they suit you well. You should stay like that."

"Thanks for the comment, gee."

"By the way, why can't I see Senki anywhere?"

"That's because he's having fun over there." I said as I pointed exactly where he was with pinpoint accuracy as he was lucky enough to be in a mixed group.

"Oh. Guess its just you and me then."

-Whistle!

"EVERYONE LINE UP!" One of the teachers instructed.

"So today, we're gonna start with 2-rounds of a light warmup around the whole school."

'WHAT?'

'Light?'

'Did he just say light?'

'YOU'RE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?'

"Teacher, isn't that a bit…" one girl tried to retaliate, clearly displaying the terror on her face.

"NO QUESTIONS ASKED! EVERYONE, LINE UP AND GET IN STARTING FORMATION!"

"We are not going to war old man." Japana rudely replied.

Everyone burst out laughing and the consequence of that was…

"THREE ROUNDS, EVERYONE, GET IN STARTING POSITION! NOW!"

Great, now we all suffering because some idiot could not keep their loose mouth shut.

"But sir, why should we all get punished for something we did not do? At least punish him only."

"SHOULD I ADD ANOTHER ONE?!"

'He's so fucking loud!'

""""""NO SIR!!!""""""

Almost everyone on the field replied at the same time.

"ON YOUR MARK!"

Every single person on the field felt their souls leaving their bodies at this moment.

One was already a far stretch as our school has a ridiculous radius, but three???

Is he trying to kill us?

Okay, I don't want the joint lesson anymore, I just want to be spared from this.

Every student faced the same direction as they kneeled into a crouch start.

"SET!"

Hold on a minute! Whose ass is this? I can clearly make out everything without difficulty.

-WHISTLE!

I hate my life.
