Chapter 7 – Dayti Confession
Noon. Lunchti finally arrived. My classmates, tired from morning classes, showed their relief.
So of them imdiately went to the cafeteria with their friends while the others gathered around their desks to eat their lunch together. To each their own, but for loners like , sotis, lunchti could be a pain, today especially.
“Huh, Maehara-kun, you didn’t bring a lunch today?”
“Mmm, my mom only gave this.”
I showed Ooyama-kun my shiny 500 yen coin.
Normally, my mother would wake up early to make a lunch box for , but, if she got too tired because of her work, she would just give money like this instead.
“Hey, Ooyama-kun, wanna go eat together?”
“Ah… Well, my friends are waiting for , so I gotta go.”
“Mmm… Have fun.”
I knew that this would happen, there’s no way that he would eat together with . After seeing him off, I also moved away from my desk.
“Umi ~ Let’s have lunch together ~”
“Ah, I’ll join ~”
Amami-san and Nitta-san gathered at Asanagi-san’s desk. During lunchti, those three would usually gather around like this.
“Ah, sorry, I have to go out to buy sothing first, start without , okay?”
Said Asanagi-san. This was rare, she didn’t usually try to break off from her group like this.
“Eh? But Umi, you brought your lunch, right? Do you still need to buy more food?”
“I an, I’m not going to buy more food… Well, guess I’ll buy sothing to drink…”
“Then, I’ll–”
“Oh sorry, but can you let go by myself today?”
Another unusual occurrence. Asanagi-san usually would bring Amami-san with her everywhere.
If you are wondering, no, we don’t have any plans to eat lunch together.
“…Fine, but co back as soon as you can! Or else, I’ll eat your lunch!”
“Yuu, a grudge over food is sothing reaaally scary, you know? …Well, actually, you can eat so of it if you want to… Well, I’m off”
After waving toward everyone, Asanagi-san hurriedly walked outside the classroom and bumped into .
“…Umm…”
“Hello.”
Asanagi-san just sent a look before she passed by and left the classroom.
I noticed that she was staring at her phone the whole ti, her face looked slightly unhappy. Well, that didn’t have anything to do with , I shouldn’t pry about it.
Though when our eyes t just now, it seed like she had sothing to tell .
…Well, I’d better get going too.
I decided to push Asanagi-san’s matter to the back of my mind and went to the store next to the stairs.
The store, which was located inside the cafeteria, was crowded with students looking to buy lunch tickets and bread. They neatly lined up in front of the store.
As expected, since I ca here later, popular food like stuffed buns had been sold out. All that was left were lighter foods like sweet buns or just plain bread. I went to the cafeteria and there was no seat available left for .
In the end, all I could get was a small anpan and milk even though I didn’t particularly like them and wandered around to look for sowhere to eat.
“Now… Where could I find a quiet place for today?”
Whether I brought my own lunch box or bought sothing for lunch, I would always look for a quiet place to eat.
Of course I could just go back to class, but I felt like the others were secretly ridiculing whenever I ate alone.
If this were a gyudon or ran shop, no one would give a crap about eating alone, but it was the classroom, it just felt wrong if I were to sit there and eat by my loneso.
You might say that I’m overthinking things, but the fact that I’m always overthinking these things is the reason why I’m a loner.
“The courtyard… is crowded today… Well, let’s go over there then.”
A loner always prepared several places where he could be alone. Like the bench in the courtyard… right below the tree shade, the rooftop which was normally off-limits, the teacher’s parking lot, and the bicycle parking lot
It was a nice day and I was in the mood to eat outside, so I went to the bicycle parking lot. There were a lot of shady spots, so I figured I could spend so ti there without standing out.
“…ease… go… with …!”
I heard the voice of a boy that I didn’t recognize coming from so distance away.
I couldn’t make out what he was saying, but he was probably confessing. Well, this scene happens once or twice a month in places like this.
“…Ah, youth…”
I couldn’t care less whether he got accepted or not, but getting too close to them wouldn’t be a good idea. I snuck around and blended into the shadow of the bikes, opened my bag of anpan, and proceeded to listen to the rest of the confession.
“Ah… Um… Sorry. I’m not interested in dating anyone right now.”
Said the girl, her voice sounded familiar to .
I had a feeling that the one who got confessed to was Asanagi-san.
