The chime rang, indicating that the class ended. “Stand,” I commanded like a commander in a military officer. “Bow”, everyone from the classroom followed my command as they’re sort of robot.

We gave our respect to our teacher after class. It’s about the time I will do my duty as a class representative now: collecting the worksheets of the class and hand it out to the teacher.

I started asking my classmates row by row to hand their worksheets. Some of them gave instantly; the others, they glare at me like I’m some of a villain. I don’t know why and I don’t want to ask.

Apparently, most of my classmates seemed nice; yeah, I don’t think they’re minding me much. However, when Kei appears, that’s how everything turns south. It’s known that our Senior is popular among anyone.

She’s kind and beautiful. A woman you can’t just see anywhere. It is how may be the author implies her looks to please the readers. Most of the girls’ love novels portrays pretty girls.

Well, that’s what about Girls’ Love is.

“Hey, Kira…” a familiar voice called. Turning sideways, Shirasawa stands while holding the worksheet. “Huh. Oh, there you are, Shirasawa.” I answered.

“What, you’re not planning to get mine, huh?” she grunt. Kobayashi immediately intervened between us right after, as she grabs Shirasawa’s shoulder.

“I thought, you don’t want me to get that for you, Shirasawa…” I tepidly answered. She seemed still bothered about me and Kei, and how our relationship gets through her nerves.

“What the…?! You’re trying to make me fail?!” she snarled. She sneers at me as I snort. “Nope. Not at all. I just want to do my duty as a class representative…. and it’s your choice if you want to cooperate or not.”

I mocked her with a grin, as Shirasawa’s brows furrowed in rage. “You bastard—”

I quickly grabbed the paper out of her hand before she cussed further. “I’m just joking with you, Shirasawa. Of course, you’re my classmate, I don’t want you to fail in class.”

I don’t like her at all and she shows hostile mood to me. We have our mutual feelings. Kobayashi tries to calm down her friend, as I leave the classroom.

“There’s no point in arguing, is there? She’s really a pain in the ass.” I grunt while walking the hallway to the Faculty room. Yeah, since the time she knew I was cheering Kei towards another girl, she became somewhat hostile.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

Not that I care. This is how the story supposed to be. It’s not about her and Kei; neither with me and everyone. In order to reach my goal; if it means to hate by everyone, I will carry out my plan.

***

I came back to the classroom after delivering the worksheets.

“Kira!” from the door of my classroom, Kei stands as she enthusiastically wave while calling my name. She’s currently with another girl, the one who I saw awhile ago from Haruki’s phone.

She’s currently fiddling with her phone but lifts her head to look at me as Kei voiced my name.

I admit she’s pretty. Her eyelashes are long, and has a round-shaped brown eyes. Her face is round; wears a light make up enough to be subtle to her looks. Beside her is Haruki, as he waves at me while smiling.

Yeah, I know…. she’s the girl you’re admiring.

“Hi, senior.” I called after reaching her. “Want to go on Karaoke bar before going home?”

This is a first detour to do after school. Apparently, I went to some detours after school before going home when I was in High school way back to my old life. Now it will happen again.

“I invite Ayase and Hinako here.” Kei added as she smiles. The two girls then dashed towards us and smiles at me. “We’re glad to be of your companion today, Kira.”

Shirasawa, who seemed to be vehement to the excursion, smiles at me.

Kobayashi nods as she smiles as well. I don’t know what will happen, but I don’t care about it at all. Right now, I don’t see Kagome with us. “Kagome won’t make it today since she has a practice.”

Kei apologetically uttered before I asked the question. It’s unfortunate, but this will be the chance for them to be closer. “Let’s get going!” Haruki cheerfully exclaimed with a smile on his face.

Picking my bag on the desk, we quickly left the classroom and headed out of the school.

Walking at the sidewalk, our group were divided into two, mixing with Kei, Shirasawa, Kobayashi and Haruki as the first group, while I stuck with the girl Kei accompanied with.

“So, you’re that guy Kei likes, huh?” out of a sudden, she mumbled.

“Huh?!” I twitched after hearing the words shes said.

She shows a playful grin while staring at me. “I’m Sakura Asahina, Kei’s classmate.”

“Kira—”

“I know your name. Kei called you, right?” she retorts. I nod to answer.

“I’m just wondering what kind of person Kei likes. She’s a pristine and friendly to everyone. But the boys in our year rejected by her. I never thought that someone plain as you makes her heart beats.”

“What’re you saying?” I grunt. I don’t know what she’s talking about, but I want end this conversation right away. There’s no way Kei will attract by someone like me. No way.

“Say, can I call you by your name? In exchange, you can call me Sakura.” the girl named Asahina Sakura utters to me.

“Uh, okay…?” I answered reluctantly. “All right! Kira… I’m looking forward to be your acquaintance, Kira.”

The girl named Asahina—no, Sakura… she seemed someone I can’t just ignore. I don’t know what will happen since she entered here in this scene. But I have a hitch that this will turn out to be a mayhem of events.

I hope this isn’t a foreboding event to raise where my relationship with the characters here will turn into fiasco.
