A Mob, Desperate After Being Ntr’d by a Coworker, Attends His High School Reunion for the First Time in 10 Years, and for Some Reason Is Approached by Four Beautiful Girls
◇Akamura Reia’s Point of View
There was someone I like
It was Uesugi Natsuki, who was in the same class with me.
What did I like about him? It is hard to answer that question, but I guess it is right to say everything.
–It was love at first sight.
In all my life, I had been confessed to a hundred times, but I had never fallen in love with anyone.
That is why I have come this far without dating anyone.
However, it turned out to be a revenge, and I understood myself for the first time after I fell in love with someone.
I was too embarrassed to talk to him at all.
I tried many times, but I lost my voice and went blank, not knowing what to say, and in the end all I could do was watch from afar.
But that was okay.
Apparently he had no friends, and of course I hardly ever saw him talk to girls.
In other words, I didn’t have a single worry that someone would take him.
And yet… Recently, I started to see Nina talking with Natsuki-kun.
That made me anxious and uneasy.
Natsuki-kun looked uncomfortable when he was talking to Nina, but he seemed to be enjoying himself somehow.
… I thought it was unfair.
So I decided to talk to him today, thinking that I wouldn’t move either.
7:45 a.m.
I left the house earlier than usual.
The reason is that today is the day Natsuki-kun is on day duty.
In other words, I wanted to take a chance to talk to him by pretending to be a coincidence.
I could at least talk to him if I was in a situation where there were hardly any classmates’ eyes on me.
With that thought in mind, I entered the classroom, skipping along.
Then, there were already three classmates in the classroom.
They were Natsuki-kun, Iwai-kun, who was sitting next to Natsuki-kun and who was also on the day shift
And Sana.
Sana was sitting next to Natsuki-kun for some reason, and they were talking happily about something.
“…Ah, good morning, Reia,” Sana greets with her usual enthusiasm.
“G-good morning… It’s so unusual to see you here so early,” I forced myself to smile, but I probably wasn’t smiling very well right now.
“Well. Reia is unusual too, right?”
“Y-yeah I woke up a little early….” I finally looked at Natsuki and said, “G-good morning, Uesugi-kun…”. I called him by his last name even though in my mind
“Oh, g-good morning… Akamura san,” and this was the first time we had a conversation.
H-he’s looking at me! He returned my greeting! and such a trivial thing filled my heart so much.
However, after he finished greeting me, she happily talked to Natsuki-kun.
”So? Any novels you’d like to recommend?”
“No… I don’t really know that much about it… I don’t even know what genre Anzen-san would like.”
“I like mysteries.”
“M-Mysteries… What do you have?”
Maybe Sana doesn’t realize it herself.
What kind of face does she have on her face now?
And what kind of feelings she is having.
… Aaah, of all people, Sana?
I am not a person of good character.
I knew that best.
I get jealous, I lie, and I respond to people I don’t like in a roundabout way.
There is no such thing as an Akamura-san who is kind to everyone.
So I am still honestly jealous and have emotions towards Sana that I shouldn’t have towards my friends.
I… sucks.
As it is, I go to my seat and fall into self-loathing.
If this is what it’s going to be like, I shouldn’t have fallen in love.
Even though I thought so, it was already too late.
Ah, this is what love feels like.
That’s what I thought.
