My Childhood Friend Who is My Girlfriend Betrayed Me - Chapter 14

Untrustworthy

To tell the truth, I still love Maho.

I still think about her all the time.

Why do I still love Maho?

She was having an affair with Takuya behind my back, remember?

She was having sex with Takuya everyday while she was still in a relationship with me.

But why do I still love her?

Damn it, I don’t get it…

When will I be able to forget Maho?

I wonder if I really can’t forget her for the rest of my life.

That seems like hell…

As I’m thinking about those things, I hear the bell ringing throughout the school.

The morning classes are over, and it’s now finally time for lunch break.

It’s lunch break already?

Because I’ve been thinking about Maho the whole time, I don’t even remember what the teacher taught just now.

Damn it, why can’t I get her out of my head…

“Hey, hey, Kazuma.”

Suddenly, a girl’s voice calls me from beside.

I turn my head and see Kurosaki beside me.

“What is it, Kurosaki?”

“Umm…if you don’t mind, would you like to have lunch with me?”

“Lunch? Well, sure.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Yeah, let’s have lunch together.”

“Yes!”

We leave the classroom and go to the rooftop.

Then, we sit down on a bench and start eating our lunch.

As I’m eating my lunch, Kurosaki talks to me.

“Hey, hey, Kazuma-kun. What kind of girl is your type?”

“Hah?”

I tilt my head at Kurosaki’s question.

Why is she asking me that?

Why would she want to know that?

Instead of wondering about it, I should just ask her directly.

“Why would you want to know about that?”

“Eh, t-that’s…”

Kurosaki falls silent at my question.

I take a glance at Kurosaki.

Her cheeks are blushing in red.

Hmm? What’s wrong, she is not feeling well?

Does she have a fever?

After a while, Kurosaki finally begins to talk.

“Umm…Kazuma-kun, the truth is…I like you. That’s why I want to know what type of girls do you like.”

“I see. Well, my favourite type of woman is—hmm? Wait a minute, what did you just say just now?”

“I said…I like you, Kazuma-kun.”

“……”

She likes me?

She got to be kidding right?

“Umm, is this some kind of joke…?”

When I say so, Kurosaki puffs out her cheeks.

“Mohh, I’m not kidding, I’m serious. I really like you, Kazuma-kun!”

“……”

I’m at a loss for words.

Kurosaki’s confession confuses me.

Does she really like me?

Or is this some kind of punishment game she has with her friend?

Kurosaki’s face seems serious though.

It doesn’t seem like she is joking.

“Why do you like me?”

“T-That’s because…”

My brain can’t process all of this.

Why does Kurosaki like me?

When does she start to like me?

Countless of questions pops onto my mind.

“You protected me from a stalker about a month ago, remember?”

“Hmm? Ah yeah~ That happened…”

“Kazuma-kun was really cool back then…at that moment, I fell in love with you.”

“……”

About a month ago, Kurosaki was being followed by a stalker.

He was harassing Kurosaki.

He touched Kurosaki’s chest, butt and even tried to kiss her.

I can’t just turn a blind eye at that, so I decided to help her.

If I didn’t help her then, Kurosaki would have been raped by that stalker…

That was really close.

Kurosaki seems to have fallen in love with me because of that incident.

In other words, Kurosaki fell in love with me because I helped her?

Well, that makes sense.

Kurosaki is very popular among the boys.

Kurosaki ranked second in a recent ‘Cute girl ranking’ the boys made.

I didn’t realize she likes me all this time.

Am I really that insensitive?

I can’t hide my surprise.

By the way, the person who ranked first in the ‘Cute girl ranking’ is Maho.

Why is that bitch in first place?

Well, she does have a really cute face…

She also has big breasts.

“Kazuma-kun…”

“Hmm? What is it…?”

“Umm…I really like you Kazuma-kun. So please go out with me!”

“……”

Kurosaki who is ranked second in the ‘Cute girl ranking’ just confessed her feelings to me.

W-What is this…?

Is this really happening?

It feels like a dream.

I’m happy, I’m so happy that she confessed to me.

But…

“I’m sorry, I can’t go out with you, Kurosaki.”

“!?”

Kurosaki’s eyes widened at my answer.

“W-Why…why won’t you go out with me!?”

“I’m scared.”

“Scared…?”

“Yeah…I’m scared to be cheated on again. I’m scared to be betrayed by someone important to me again… I don’t want to feel the pain of being betrayed again…”

“……”

Kurosaki is a really attractive girl.

She is cute, has a great personality, and she even has the same hobbies as mine.

If I start to date Kurosaki, I’m sure it would be great.

Every day would surely be a lot of fun.

But I can’t…

I don’t want to start a relationship with anyone.

I don’t want to experience anything like that ever again.

That’s why I turned down Kurosaki’s confession.

“Kazuma-kun, I will never cheat on you. I will never betray you like Maho-chan did. So—”

I open my mouth and interrupt Kurosaki’s words.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t trust anyone right now…”

“!?”

Kurosaki eyes get teary at my cold words.

I trusted Maho, I believed in her.

She told me that she would never cheat on me.

I even thought myself that she is a kind of person who won’t cheat on her lover.

But despite all that, she cheated on me.

She betrayed me.

She was having sex with Takuya every day behind my back.

I even wonder myself, why did I trust Maho …?

What a big fool I am.

I don’t think I can trust anyone besides my family ever again.

“Kurosaki…”

“……”

“I’m sorry, but you should give up on me. I don’t think I—”

“No, I won’t.”

“Eh…?”

“I won’t give up on you! I will never give up on you!”

“It’s for your own sake, give up on me.”

“No, I won’t! I will never give up! I will definitely become Kazuma’s girlfriend someday!”

“……”

What’s with this girl…

She’s such a pain in the ass.
