I, hate Yuyi?

How is this possible!

Because she's me—

The only friend!

"It doesn't have to be that big."

One minute? For a second, or just a blink of an eye, the strange sense of oppression from the teenager disappeared, and the teenager in front of him was fiddling with his phone with his head down, his tone calm as if he had never said those words before.

The air seemed to freeze, and the sound of the keys on my phone was almost in my ears.

It's like a countdown timer, tick-tock, and I'm hoping that this moment will end soon, even if it's just a second.

"You just think I'm just saying it casually."

The boy's tone was quite relaxed, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being different from mine, and slowly put the phone back in his pocket, as if on purpose.

"But you haven't been noticing?"

“...... What the? ”

I don't know what the boy will say again, this time it's true.

"Really? Didn't notice? ”

The smile on the boy's lips widened a little, as if he was pleased with the confirmation of something.

"Forget it, that's fine."

With ambiguous words on his lips, the boy slowly retreated from a distance that was more reassuring to me.

Although he didn't look dangerous, I felt relieved by the small distance.

It was a kind of relaxation that was both physically and mentally.

"That's all for today, I'm a little tired."

There was no tiredness on his face, and the boy moved his steps back little by little.

"I'm going back first, Yono, see you tomorrow, the problem with the coffee machine has been solved for you."

“...... Thank you. ”

Thinking about it, this seems to be the only thing I can say right now.

"Don't be so polite."

His smile was still as bright as it was, but I couldn't look directly at the warmth that seemed so kind.

"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice now, Yono."

"Loyalty...... Tell? ”

I frowned slightly.

"Haha, don't be so serious, you can take it as a suggestion, this is advice given to you as an experiencer."

The boy suddenly stopped walking in the distance, and when he turned around, he jumped in front of him in three steps and two steps, and his cheerful movements were full of banter.

Gently pressed to my ear, as if whispering, his voice seemed very intimate, with a hazy taste in it, as if he was dreaming, and everything about him began to become a little unreal.

"It's still too late, get out of that kid quickly, or ......"

The boy didn't finish his sentence, but left such an incomplete and strange so-called "suggestion".

“...... What does that mean? ”

I subconsciously put the question out of my mouth, only to find that the boy who was still in my ear just now had become a back and disappeared far away from my eyes.

"I'm looking forward to seeing each other next time, bye-bye, Yono."

His voice came from far away, and by the time I came to my senses, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

I was left alone in the strange atmosphere he had just created.

If there was one word to describe this teenager, it would be mysterious.

Whether it's his appearance, or everything he does.

There seemed to be some kind of meaning in it, but every time I was about to touch that part, it left a regrettable trail like a meteor, and I couldn't capture his tracks.

It was a hunch.

I need to understand what that means.

I had to understand what that meant.

What he said and did must have a key that would allow me to unravel the one percent of the confusion in me.

I can't read the boy, but the boy understands one percent of me, so I have to understand the meaning.

Would it be possible to get a correct answer to my question if I had resorted to his kindness?

I can't be sure.

Because in my opinion, the boy's character is not good, but it is not to the extent of being bad.

At least that's what I think at the moment.

......

By the time I got back to school, the morning was almost over.

It's a little faster than expected, thanks to his help, I don't know what happened to Yuyi's side.

With doubts, I wanted to use my mobile phone to contact Yuyi, but I was afraid that my greeting would bring a sense of urging to the other party, so in the end I put the mobile phone back in my pocket.

There doesn't seem to be anyone on campus at the moment.,Although because of the school festival.,Someone needs to be in charge of preparing in advance.,But if the people in the class work together.,It's not really much in advance.。

It's better to say that it's because I'm the only one who wants to work hard in advance.

No, it's not right, and Yuyi.

Changing into indoor shoes, I slowly walked in the direction of the class, there was only one person's footsteps in the corridor, it was still noon, but the sunlight outside the window made me feel the temperature that I should have.

I consciously slowed down.

Or maybe it will allow me to regain that warmth.

The alternation of shadows on the walls began to slow down, and I counted the number of windows I walked through one by one, which was so childish, but today I found it particularly interesting.

Playing a one-man show, I came to the door of the class, and the door was ajar.

Maybe Yuyi has returned.

I held out my hand, but just as my finger was about to touch the door, the door opened.

"Ah......h

I looked at her in front of me with some surprise.

"What, under the snow, it's you."

Unceremonious words, like treating a stranger, no, we are strangers in the first place.

"I was a little annoyed by Youyi's urging, so I came over to take a look, but it turned out that the two of you were not going well."

Flirtatious tone, flamboyant personality, always put yourself in a high position when you speak, this strange girl, her name is Mariko, the same as me, she is a famous person even if she is placed in the whole school.

Unlike me, she was always on the path of her own choices.

"I'll leave it to you from now on, Lord Executive."

Passing by, waving his hand with his back to me, Mariko seemed to be about to leave, no, she decided to leave.

The strange name, her attitude towards me is evident from this alone, Mariko's hostility towards me for no reason, even though everything seems to me to be unjustified.

I don't know where I annoyed her.

I watched her and her departing back silently, and until now, I hadn't uttered a word.

It was rude, but I had been taught many times that it was the best thing to do, and that having a conversation with her would undoubtedly turn out to be a disaster.

Disaster for me.

Because Mariko's one-sided hostility towards me can easily turn our conversation into a quarrel, I will passively accept all the accusations from the other party, because as an honor student expected by my mother, I can't have the disadvantage of "not being able to get along with my classmates".

So, I can only choose to be silent.

What's more, it's not for myself, it's also for Yuyi, because—

"Ah, wait! Mariko! ”

She is also a good friend of Yuyi.

I turned to look at the late protagonist, and I couldn't help but recall the words of the teenager.
