As the other students started taking their seats, no one said anything to that girl. In fact, people avoided sitting by her. Everyone except some kid who seemed too happy and popular for his own good. He sat down right next to her and even tried to greet her. His group of followers backed away and dispersed, but the girl didn't answer. She had her head buried in her schoolwork as if trying not to be noticed, but the guy was persistent.
"Hey Kuronuma," he said as if talking to one of his buddies.
The girl hesitated but then finally mumbled, "He-ello Ka-zehaya."
A huge grin appeared on the boy Kazehaya's face, as if he was pleased to get a response. But this girl, Kuronuma, looked away like she was scared to show her face.
Oh believe me, I knew what just took place. I've been in enough relationships to see when someone has a crush, but those two didn't seem to make a very good match. The most popular kid and the least popular just isn't natural.
But on the other hand, it was my first day and I knew nothing about these people or their friendships. For all I knew, they could all be a gang of devil worshippers or a gaggle of closet otakus.
The one thing I did know was that every time I saw Kazehaya and Kuronuma together, I felt a little pang of anger go off inside me. The thing I didn't know was that I was experiencing jealousy.
And so it begins… I hope to nourish this love triangle with tons of jealousy. Don't get me wrong though, I TOTALLY ship Shota and Sawako, but for the purpose of THIS fanfiction, there may have to be some sacrifice. I think I may do a longer chapter over the weekend.
