She is Reading My Thoughts Again Today - Chapter 18

Confession Day

After school, I went to the courtyard which was written in the letter. There I saw a female student which I recognize because I pass her by a few times at school, then I stopped in front of her.

“Are you Yuna Sato?”

She gave me a small nod. She is a lovely person with big, puffy eyes. She was looking at me seriously.

“I’m sorry for calling you out of the blue. To be honest, I’ve liked you for a long time. Please go out with me.”

In a clear voice tone, she told me so. Well, I knew it was going to turn out this way. I had a hunch from the moment I saw the letter in my shoe locker as I got to school.

‘Come to the backyard at 4:30 after school. Yuna Sato’

Nowadays, SNS is a very common thing, I can’t believe she is confessing to me face to face. That’s ballsy.

“I’m sorry,”

However, whether I accept her as a love interest or not is another matter. At this stage, the only thing I can judge is her appearance, which is not my liking. Of course, if I had interacted with her before, I could have considered other things such as her personality and hobbies, but this is the first time I talked to her.

She instantly showed her dissatisfaction through her facial expression.

“Why? You and Kisaragi aren’t dating, are you?”

Why did she ask about that? Mentioning Kisaragi’s name at that moment won’t make me more attracted to her. There was an unpleasant feeling stirred up in my heart.

“We’re not dating but…”

“Then what kind of relationship are you having with Kisaragi?”

“It’s none of your business.”

I said those words vigorously without thinking of the consequences. I was shocked when I saw she bit her own lip and tears came down from the corner of her eyes. As soon as I saw her disheartened face, I regretted saying those words to her. But I had no right to comfort her since I had rejected her confession. I looked around and saw someone in the shadows who looked like a friend of hers. I left the courtyard as quickly as I could, thinking that if her friends were there, she would be all right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I heard that Yuna Sato confessed her feelings to you.”

When I returned to the classroom, Kisaragi was the only one there as expected. She has her back on the opposite side of the door I opened. Apparently, she heard my thoughts saying ‘after school, courtyard, Sato yuna’ over and over again throughout the day.

“So what?”

“Did you reject her harshly? I can see you felt guilty because of it.”

Well, I did feel guilty because of rejecting her. Not only I rejected her confession, I even said something bad to her and hurt her feelings.

“You said ‘it’s none of your business?’ You’re a terrible person.”

“When you say it again, it hits me even harder.”

“Nope, the worst person would be me.”

She stretched her legs and approached right in front of me.

“I don’t like it, us sitting next to each other, looking for our own benefit.”

“But you don’t have any intention to stop right?”

She opens her mouth and ‘bounced’ in front of me for the first time in a long time.

“Shall we just go out then?”

She approached and pushed me to zero distance and whispered me in my ear. Even though it was after school, there was still a good chance someone will see us like that. No, the more important thing was what she said. She shouldn’t say something that could’ve made a misunderstanding like that. Then, I saw a sweet smile that was stuck on her face.

“Then this relationship is official, even if it’s a bit of a crooked one.”

She continued to say those kinds of things to me until she was satisfied. Eventually, she moved away from me. My heart was beating wildly.

What was she thinking?

“You’re a worse person than I am.”

It was my act of denial. At least that was what it supposed to be.

“You must be joking. That is all your thought, right? I’m just saying it out loud.”

Those words made me feel uncomfortable.

“Why?”

I said in trembling voice.

Indeed, that’s what I was thinking about before I got here. But I haven’t thought about it since I went up to the second floor where this classroom is located. So, how could she read my thought like that?

“Where did the two-meter limit go?”

“It’s still there. I have been reading your thought process for a long time. Somehow, I’m beginning to understand them.”

Some people may consider the phrase she said just now is really cute.

Understanding my thought process.

Would it be Yandere? Or was it Kuudere? Well, I don’t know about it. I’m not interested in such things. Right now, I’m just scared with her ability.

“Please don’t be afraid. It’s just that she wasn’t your cup of tea, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Hokuto-san has the right to choose. It’s okay. Relationships are different for each person. ”

To think about it, maybe she was here because she was worried about me.

“After all that you’ve said, you’re going to make a joke out of me like that?”

“Now, what are you talking about?

Kisaragi is very good at playing dumb. I admit that she is good at it, but I can’t say it out loud. However, seeing her like that, I feel a sense of relief.
