Chapter 29: A false confession 2
I headed towards Katase. She also slowly walked towards me.
And there, in front of the teacher’s desk, we stood facing each other.
I could feel the so many stares, and so intense, that they made me nauseous.
“…So, what do you want?”
“Ah… well, um the thing is…”
In terms of the script, there were words which wouldn’t even measure a page long. Rather, it’s just a few words, and yet…
That time, the time when I had confessed my feelings to an opposite gender for the first time, I might be even more nervous now than when I was at that time. It’s true that situation was completely different too, but more than anything, back then I was absolutely brimming with confidence. That and this too, all because I had interpreted everything conveniently for myself.
Now’s not the time to be reminiscing… I cleared my mind off unnecessary thoughts and focused what was important in the present.
“Katase—san—I’ve liked you for a long time. Please go out with me.”
…Pin Drop Silence. To a degree that even the lively voices from other classes echoed in.
As I bowed my head and extended my hand, I stared at the wooden floor, feeling a sense of release from having completed my task successfully.
Come now, Katase, say what you are told to, with utmost clarity as possible.
“Hey, see, a gloomy introvert guy’s doing something way out of his league oi~!”
It was immediately clear to me that it was Tachibana. Her shout was followed by a crude laughter. It was probably the Tinkerbell group. And surely, others too, started smirking at that amusing spectacle.
Well, I guess, it can’t be helped after all. Since it’s only natural that all would react in someway.
However, praising Tachibana still pisses me off. Even if it was a means to an end, it was still extremely frustrating. Hearing her voice resonating in my head made me realize how irritated that made me feel.
“……………………”
…But still, just when is Katase going to speak her words? This pause feels excessively long—
Just as I thought that my outstretched hand was enveloped in warmth.
Huh? Held? …Why?
Surprised by the unexpected turn of events, I looked up.
“…If you are okay with someone me—yes, please!”
Katase, beaming with complete and incredible joy, responded to the fake confession with affirmation.
