The trees were blooming greenly, there were only few trees left to bloom, a loud noise were coming from the window, it was the sport club who was marching inside the school gates. The classroom had those vibes of a class in the zombie apocalypse, and it seems refreshing for me at least.

What am I doing here? Monologuing? I have to hurry he will be there soon...

I ran out of the class, holding the camera with my left hand. Since I am in second floor, I was sure that I would get faster than him to the rooftop.

As expected the rooftop door was opened, the a faint light escaped from the door above. I was looking from the stairs below, patiently waiting for him to come. Second turn into minutes and minutes turn out to be a freaking long.

Shouldn't he be here by now? The sport team is already done with the activity no? Jeez He will get hated if he make the girl wait like this. Wait...What if he is already there?

I hurriedly climb the stairs, I had to check since I couldn't hear anything from the down stairs. I will be dead if I am late.

I peek through the small gab, I was relieved to see the girl alone waiting for him to come. That's weird I am glad that a girl is waiting for hours to get an answer and it will be worse if he rejects her but I couldn't see the possibility here, well, I mean we are talking about Ayu Hiromi.

As expected, her short red hairs that clearly symbolize that she is above of all others (it is true though) her eyes that represents the color of the sky, and her lips that anyone wants to have few kiss with her, anyway you got my point. I backed myself down and sat on the step, waiting for him to turn up and he never turn himself up.

I pulled out my phone, went to my contacts and found his number with name "Lead" Let's give him a call then.

"You surely made me wait."

"I am busy right now." I took my phone near my ears as I sighed. The sound of dialing became soft. My phone was snatch from behind.

"What-" I met her, who was supposed to stay in there. It was my bad not hearing her footsteps and paying attention to her movements.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Do you know how much I have waited?"

"Umm.. 1 Hour?"

"And did it make you feel anything?"

"Empathy?"

"Seriously?" She sighed.

It was my first time talking to her face to face, well, we didn't even talk once.

"Don't you have anything to say for yourself?"

"Huh? I don't understand."

"Seriously? Apologize for making me wait this much."

"Wait what?"

"Don't play dumb, Yamashita informed you didn't he?"

"Yea... He did."

"So?"

I can't tell to her that I was just asked to be here as his recorder and I didn't hear about those. I gotta apologize, it is also my fault not giving her accompany while waiting for him

"I am sorry for leaving you by yourself."

"Apology accepted, Wait what?"

"Seat here, let's wait for Yamashita."

"You fathead."

"Now what?"

Normally I shouldn't be talking to someone like you, you know? But I am helping you by degrading my role a bit, can't you be thankful?

"Just come top." She went outside.

I followed her and she was waiting for me, her arms folded placed at near her stomach.

"Explain yourself, why were you late? And why were you peeking through the door with that camera?"

How did she found about that? Is she bluffing? In any case, I am stuck now. What should I tell her about the camera, Hideki told me to keep it a secret.

"Umm.."

"?"

I can't believe I am changing my role just for that.

"I mean, who wouldn't like to take some pics of you? The most beautiful and talented girl in this school."

She was avoiding eye contact and for some reason her face was reddish.

"Are you okay? Hiromi san."

"I-I am fine. I accept your explanation if you are not lying."

"I am not lying."

Eek

Did she bite her tongue or what?

"So am I allowed to leave now?"

"Wait... I didn't tell you about why I called you here..."

"Isn't it Hideki you are waiting for?"

"No... I was waiting for you."

"Huh?"

"I have always hold myself till now but i can't hold myself any longer..."

Wait!! What! Don't--

"You are Ku-kun right?"

How did she know about that? Who is she?

I was speechless while she continued.

"I knew it, those words, those eyes and those expression when you are nervous. I am glad I am able to meet you again Ku-Kun... I have been missing you since then."

I was not sure who she was and how did she knew about my old nickname but I did knew that she is going to destroy my peaceful life.

"I have been waiting for you, you know? I was holding these feelings for a long time, my love for you."

"Wait.. the plot is moving so fast, how the hell did i turned from background character to Romcom Protagonist?"

"What are you talking about? I have been always in love with you since we met. You said you also feel the same way, we even promised to marry in the future."

I was suddenly thrown from lower bracket to the main bracket and it was a lot to take. I mean, I was a non character a few second ago. Hideki what have you put me into???

That spring, on the rooftop, that was where it all started, my disaster yet an interesting life.
