Kota Yabu Story
[Just One Special Person]
“What if Instead of Idols, they were normal high school students!”
In the morning when I’d left my house, unexpectedly, Mizuki (T/N: There’s so many readings for this name so I just picked Mizuki since I’ve heard it more lol) came out from the house next door at the same time. Her semi-long hair was a shade of black that had never been dyed; not even once. Even though she was the class president and an honor student, her skirt was a little short. Being my childhood friend, her eye brows would gather together when I’d raise my voice to say “Morning!”
“Geez, again!”
“Hm?”
“Your shirt’s not fully tucked in! Your bag too! You’re not even wearing it properly over your shoulders. I can’t approve of this!”
“Yesssss, yes”
She made me hear the things she disliked and then she puffed up her cheeks.
“Well, even if I don’t approve, it has nothing to do with me, okay!”
She’d tell me the same thing every time and every time she’d warn me about what annoyed her, she’d laugh along.
Just like that, the two of us walked together and once we got near the train station, she said:
“I’ll be going ahead of you”
“Huh? Why?”
She went on, walking rapidly but I caught up to her.
“Isn’t it obvious?” she replied.
“That girl…she’s waiting for you at the station right?”
“AH!”
“That girl” was a girl that had confessed to me the week before. She wasn’t really a girl that I knew but I had promised that I’d give it a try and that we’d go to school together today. That was certain.
Although…
“Does that matter?”
I realized at that moment within my head that not walking to school with Mizuki like I always did just didn’t make sense.
She got inpatient and replied,
“Worry about that a little. I’ll give you a break. See you later”
She said that and ran off. By chance, I ended up beside the person that had been walking ahead of me, Inoo Kei. Inoo also lived nearby and he and I had gotten along well since long ago, so coming across him wasn’t anything out of the norm.
There was a girl standing right next to the ticket check point. She waved her hand once she noticed me. Even though I saw her, within my field of vision I could still see Mizuki’s back in the far distance.
“She’s such a good girl. No matter what we’re talking about, she does her very best to listen and she even feels overjoyed when I’m only asking if she’d like me to carry her bag. Unlike Mizuki, she doesn’t get mad easily…”
Break time.
It’s what I told Inoo while grabbing onto the hand rail of the balcony on the 2nd floor.
“That’s good then” he said as he sat underneath the railing. “Why did you decide to go out with her in the first place?”
“Why…because she confessed to me?”
“That’s it?”
“Just by looking at her, I could tell she was happy”
That’s what I told him. It sounded like an excuse as I took a deep breath and looked down towards the floor.
“This morning…she told me, ‘Yabu kun doesn’t laugh very much when he’s with me’”
“No, well…even if I change up my voice…”
“Aren’t I supposed to be your friend?”
Despite of the many times the 3 of us have been together, whether it be on our way to school, during breaks, vacations and even after school, It’s been only me this whole week. As my boring mood spilled out, Inoo let out a bitter smile.
“It’s all because Mizuku realized that she had to be there as a friend and ‘support’ your relationship with that girl”
“….”
I thought that that was how the 4 of us were moving along but, if I had said anything about it then I would have been scolded for it again. Just thinking about that gave me no choice but to start feeling sad. Why can’t I get through this without any problems? …this isn’t fun at all.
“Isn’t it a bit weird?”
“What is?”
“You’re asking what,”
It’s weird that I don’t have that person beside me now, even though she was always by my side. I couldn’t put that feeling well into words. I hesitated.
Right below the balcony, Mizuki happened to be walking by. It seemed like she was coming back from the gymnasium. She was carrying her gym clothes while walking with her friends.
“Mizuki!”
I yelled out her name from above as I waved my arms towards her. She glanced over at me for a bit but completely ignored me as she continued on, chatting with her friends as they walked away.
(Huh? She’s ignoring me?)
I felt mad. I raised my voice.
“Why is she ignoring me? She might pretend to look cute with her pink hair tie but in reality, she’s nothing but a scary girl with a
mean character!”
Along with those sharp words, a bundle of gym clothes flew towards me with great force.
Right before my face was hit by them, I managed to somehow catch them with a smile.
“Amazing! You heard that coming all the way from the 2nd floor?”
Of course that wasn’t what I really thought. As I smiled like a fool, a small voice reached me from nearby: “Yabu kun…”.
Once I turned around, I saw that it was my “girlfriend” who had come all the way from the classroom over to the balcony.
I understood it very well once my smiling face disappeared at the sight of her worried expression.
…I understood.
That girl wasn’t the one for me.
“I’m sorry”
Once I realized it for myself, those words spilled out of me.
“I felt incredibly happy but…”
Around the end of lunch,
While holding on to her gym clothes, I waited in front of the neighboring classroom for Mizuki, who was coming back from the cafeteria. Her face scrunched up once she noticed me as she spoke to some of her friends.
“You fool! You didn’t have to come and bring them yourself; you could have just given them to Inoo”
That remark annoyed me.
“You hate being with me that much?!”
“That’s not it, but, you’re supposed to treasure your girlfriend. Besides, I don’t want to see it!”
“See what?!”
“You being with another girl, I don’t want to see it!”
“If you’re not around then I hate it!”
Inoo, who had heard our conversation all the way from inside the classroom, came outside to intervene.
“You two…are you fighting or are you confessing to one another? Which one is it?”
Being too tired to have recognized it, I was taken aback.
Right before my eyes, she gave me a reply.
“There’s no way I’d be confessing! I mean, Kota is-“
Adding on to it, I decided to intervene.
“We broke up earlier today. I told her I was sorry”
“So fast! Why?”
“You’re asking why?”
Because I felt that no matter what other person I’m with, If Mizuki isn’t there then it’s no good.
Because I understood that there would be no other presence like Mizuki’s.
These words swirled around within my head.
As she looked up towards me with a face of curiosity, I organized what I wanted to convey…but at that moment I realized what the current situation surrounding me was.
It was right before our afternoon classes begun, right at that hallway. Several of our classmates that were coming in and out of the classroom were full of interest towards us and stared.
No, it felt more like there gazes wouldn’t leave us because they were hoping for something to happen.
“As expected, I can’t say it here at all.”
Leaving things unfinished with what I had just said made everyone surrounding us go, “Ehhhhhhhhh”. Their voices were full of disappointment. They were that interested!
Having realized what was going on between us, her face turned red.
Just like that, I reached out and returned her gym clothes.
“Let’s go home together today”
When it came to the countless of words I said she happily nodded to them.
Just as the ringing sound of the chime began; our feelings sprung forward and synchronized with one another as it resounded.
The End :3
===============
(Interesting comment from Inoo)
I read this at first without knowing that I was in the story. I was really surprised when I saw my name appear! I couldn’t hold back from disturbing others and I ended up shouting, “I’m in this!” (laughs)
