My Story of Falling for the Class President Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Kashii-san is in a Bad Mood

It seems Kashii-san is so angry that her comnts are starting to sound like Freeza-sama.

Regarding the seating change, we had agreed to 'form a group if we were both left out.'

Apparently, she's upset that I happily joined a group when Ise-san and Kan-kun invited .

Kashii-san is usually friendly and rarely gets angry, so this is the first ti I've seen her get mad at soone like this.

'The boys who tead up with were led by Kan-kun, who reached out. If I didn't join them, I'd have been forced into so other group of five, so joining them was the best option.'

'...I get that, but!'

'Joining an already complete group by myself is really tough. It's not harassnt, but you genuinely get forgotten, you know?'

'...Seriously...?'

'It's true.'

I said this with sad eyes.

I've been forgotten on a field trip before, you know? Seriously, by the ti I noticed, everyone had already started descending the mountain without .

'But we promised to wait and see! And you made a snap decision!'

'I was waiting and watching, but Kashii-san, weren't you getting tons of aggressive invitations from the boys' group in Class 3 too?'

'Tachibana-kun could've made a strong approach too, couldn't he?!'

'I can't form a group by myself, can I?!'

I couldn't help but retort in a Nobu-like style.

It's really rare to see Kashii-san interact in this way; I've never seen it before.

For a while, Kashii-san kept grumbling and complaining.

(Is she busy, or does she have a lot of troubleso stuff on her plate again?)

After a brief pause, Kashii-san asked .

'I couldn't ask the other day, but why did you keep ignoring after saying you wanted to keep so distance? You said that last September, and until around June this year, when you finally shared your worries, I was left wondering the whole ti. Even when I tried talking to you, you'd just say "yeah" or sothing... I thought maybe you were avoiding .'

'But Kashii-san, you seed so busy, and even when I tried to talk, soone always interrupted...'

Kashii-san, puffing up with anger,

'Even with consultations! Ise-san passed on your issue to , which is why you talked to , but if she hadn't, you wouldn't have consulted , right? We've been in the sa class a lot, and even if it was brief, we served as class presidents together. We've been through quite a bit...'

(Does she think I don't trust her because of the order in which I consulted people? Especially after what Kousuke put her through recently.)

'I was actually planning to consult either Kousuke or Kashii-san first. But then Ise-san beca my desk neighbor, we got more chances to talk, and I felt sure I could trust her. Plus, I wanted to talk to soone who hadn't been close to before. Sorry. Kashii-san, our seats and distance were far apart too...'

This comnt seed to add fuel to the fire.

Kashii-san, with slightly teary eyes,

'Ise-san, Ise-san, you're so close with her, huh! The distance was there because you said you wanted space, right?! I even invited you to join my group for the seating change! But you just followed Ise-san without a second thought! Are we going to drift apart just because our seats are far, like back in elentary school? Do you hate ?'

(Even though she's asking if I hate her, the way she keeps glancing at seems to say, "You don't hate , do you?" It's like she's oddly confident about it.)

'I don't hate you! ...Not at all, though I might feel a bit nervous around you.'

(I get that she's super angry, but what should I do about it?)

But her angry expression is so cute that, even though I'm being scolded, I can't help but smile.

I continued speaking.

'Kashii-san, you're always working so hard, aren't you? If it's okay with , I'll listen to whatever you have to say.'

Kashii-san told about how her workload as class president has increased, how the other class president from another town barely does any actual work, so her tasks keep piling up, and how she's anxious about the second sester being busy with lots of events.

Maybe talking to soone helped her feel better, because she returned to her usual smile—though she quickly seed to rember sothing.

'You're trying to smooth things over like that, aren't you?! I'm still angry, you know! Fine! I have my own plans too! ...Tomorrow, Wednesday, after school when there's no club activity, co here again! It's a promise!'

Will Judge Kashii deliver another guilty verdict?

On the way ho, I ran into soone from another town at the shoe lockers.

This person's locker is right above mine, so when our timing overlaps, we get in each other's way.

Then they said to ,

'Tachibana, I heard you were a loner and got picked up by Ise-san? Lucky you, huh?'

Since they said it in a mocking way, I shot back.

'Yeah, I got picked up by a beautiful, busty gal (lol).'

'...'

'...'

I went ho thinking it'd be nice if we didn't talk to each other since it just leaves us both in a bad mood.

anwhile, in Class 2-3, Aoi was considering a character change and was taking steps to reinvent their image.

Aoi '...'

Kousuke '...'

Obata 'Aoi-kun! You don't need two silent characters in one class! It's such a hassle to communicate!'

Kousuke (So that's how they see ...)

Aoi's wandering journey seems like it will continue for a while longer.
