It seemed like the girls in class 2-11 were aware of my existence, Nakamura-sanās attitude proved that. Itās just that I didnāt expect to receive this much attention.
I assumed that those in the preparatory class would be more mature than the students from regular classes, but the number of eccentric girls here exceeded my expectations, including Nakamura-san.
āUm, Nakamura-san? ā¦I donāt think itās okay for me to be hereā¦ I should just leaveāā
āHehe donāt worry, Boyfriend-kun, Iāll let you off after Iām done with you. For now you should just make yourself comfortable, we have tea and snacks for you~ā
āā¦I have a bad feeling about thisā¦ā
From the other girlsā gazes, I expected that they would bombard me with a lot of questions if I were to give in.
I wanted to leave, but Nakamura-san blocked me from leaving and the other girls sealed the back door before I realized it. In the end, I had no choice but to resign myself to whatever they had in store for me.
Nakamura-san then dragged me to a seat right beside Umi.
āJeez, why are you here? I told you to not come here, right? Why didnāt you listen to me?ā
āā¦In my defense, I didnāt know that this would happen, but still, sorryā¦ā
āā¦Itās fineā¦ I didnāt think that they would go this far eitherā¦ā
Before I knew it, we were surrounded by the girls.
ā¦I swear I saw some of them grinning at us, but that was probably just my imaginationā¦ Right?ā¦
āSo this is the our class idolās boyfriend, huh?~ā
āHe is shorter than I expected.ā
āLook at him, he looks so scared, heās so cute~ā
Yes, Iām scaredā¦ Their gazes looked scaryā¦
ā¦Was this really the glorified class 11? The preparatory class? I didnāt wander into a lionās cage by mistake, did I?
āItāll trouble him if all of us were to talk to him at once, so, let me do the talking. Okay, everyone? Donāt worry, I know what you guys want to ask him, you can leave it to me!ā
āHuh? What are you on about, Nakamura? You just want to monopolize him, no? As if Iāll let you!ā
āYeah! You canāt do whatever you like just because your grades are higher than ours!ā
āThen, why donāt you guys try to steal first place from me next midterm? I want to see you guys do it.ā
Actually, only Umi had the right to monopolize me. I was about to say that, but I knew something bad would happen to me if I were to say that.
By the way, Nakamura-san got the highest grade in this class? I knew that she wasnāt an ordinary person.
āUh, Umi?ā¦ā
āā¦I know what you want to ask, donāt worry, I was the same as you when I first entered this classā¦ā
Back when we were in the first grade, those girls were in separate classes, so they werenāt that conspicuous. But now that they were together, their personality stood out.
Most of them, including Nakamura-san, looked normal, but they were quite eccentric.
Will Umi be influenced by them?
Oh right, they said she was the classā idol, what was that about?
Well, sheās gotten prettier by the day so I understood where they were coming from.
āBack when she introduced herself, I always thought that Asanagi-chan was a smart, athletic, stylish and pretty girl. She could make a perfect poker face too, so she stood out. But then I stumbled upon her secretly grinning at a boyās picture on her phone~ā
āThe embarrassed Asanagi-chan was so cute~ Good job on discovering that side of her back then, Nakamura.ā
āWhen we saw that gap moe, the position of the classā idol was pretty much decided.ā
āShe fell in love with an ordinary-looking guy instead of someone really popular, that made her a lot more approachable than before~ā
āI know, right?ā
Hearing Nakamura-sanās words, the girls surrounding us nodded in agreement.
The whole picture thing probably happened after I sent her those pictures of mine a while back. Still, I didnāt expect that this would happen.
I thought that sending those pictures to her was a bad idea, but it seemed that things worked out for the better for Umi? Maybeā¦
ā¦Still, those girls saw my embarrassing picturesā¦ Ughā¦
āYouāre loved, huh, Umi?ā
āMmā¦ Iām glad that Iām able to get along with everyone like this, itās justā¦ I didnāt expect this to happenā¦ā
āI feel you.ā
Still, she seemed to be more of a ābeloved characterā rather than the center of the class. But because of this, the atmosphere was more amicable than before.
Also, I kind of want to see Umiās embarrassed face when Nakamura-san found out about her cute side.
Anyway, from the way I saw it, class 2-11 seemed to be centered around Nakamura-san and Umi. They got along well, so there didnāt seem to be any issues. Our class couldnāt even compare to thisā¦ Poor Amami-sanā¦
The atmosphere in class 2-10 was really bad compared to class 2-11.
No matter how good Amami-san and Arae-san were, I couldnāt see them winning against Umiās class in the class match. This was basketball, a team sport. Two people who stood out could never beat a team who could coordinate well with each other.
Iām curious about how the match would play out when they faced each other later on.
āWait a minute, Boyfriend-kun!ā
āPlease call me by my name, itās Maehara.ā
āAh, sorry, Maehara-kun. Can you wait for a bit?ā
āā¦Why?ā
āWhy are you in such a rush? Iām not done questioning you yet.ā
āā¦I seeā¦ā
āHehe~ā
Since I knew that Umi was doing well, I decided to run away quicklyā¦ And was stopped by Nakamura-san.
I thought that I could slip by because they were all busy fawning over Umi, but Nakamura-san kept a closer watch on me than I thought.
āā¦Maki, just give upā¦ If you keep trying to run away, this wonāt endā¦ā
āā¦Rightā¦ā
After that, I was questioned by Nakamura-san for 30 minutes before she released me.
