Henry
The next day, I woke up earlier than usual to prepare myself and fix my things. I wore my jersey shorts and a white t-shirt along with the varsity jacket the school gave. As I passed by a mirror, I saw the jersey hanging from my bag and remembered that it was Gumi who gave it.
YuiArgh... I lost my handmade wristband... I worked hours on it for Henry but in the end, I lost it... I was really planning on confessing after his match but I feel like he barely noticed me... He's not the kind of person who'll climb all the way up the rooftop for someone especially on the day of his match...
MegumiI... can't believe I actually said it. I actually confessed my feelings? I wonder if he got that? Did he? Then... will he ignore me just like he did from the start? I've been so unfair to him and Yui.
HenryThe next day arrived quickly as the sun's ray meet my face. I won't be at school the whole day since they second match will be at the opponent's home court this time. I... can I keep avoiding Gumi?
Megumi"Kou...?"I doubted
MegumiI chased after Kou as he was about to leave the school... I grabbed his uniform while panting, "Kou, let's watch Yui's match today."
YuiAfter a long and hard game. Our team won the five sets match and fort the first time manages to play at the semi-finals where the strongest schools gather. The semi-finals will be held at a bigger gymnasium after our exams and the school field trip.
YuiSoon, the bottles of soju just kept coming as Henry and Kou keep glaring at each other, Megumi's drinking so much that she seems to handle. I'm stuck with making sure trouble doesn't ensue as I grilled my nice piece of plain beef.
MegumiI sighed loudly as they left and looked at the night sky still on Kou's back. He stood still and teased, "They already left, aren't you going to get off?"
Kou The climate's getting warmer as the sun's at its peak... summer's coming... the season of summer's almost here... This spring, I had a lot of regr
Henry The next morning, Gumi was unexpectedly absent today... maybe, she got sick?... or just woke up late?...for the period and lessons, I was physically present but mentally absent... I couldn't stop worrying and thinking about Gumi...
KouI immediately went towards the laboratory Henry said and there I saw Megumi along with some famous junior who's blushing beside her. I grabbed Megumi and hugged her from behind.
HenryI was surprised to see Gumi. I knew for certain that no one else would be here but there she was. I immediately sat up and moved away from her. Just as Gumi tries to stand up and leave, I grabbed her hands and said, "Stay."
MegumiJust when I thought my heart could not sank any lower... it just did. I didn't mean to see it, I wanted to look away but I just couldn't. Seeing Yui and Henry kiss in front of me was the last straw.
KouI walked Megumi back to her house and went to ride the train. I went directly to my part time job where my co-workers joked around, "Oh, back so early? Are you here for extra more hours to buy your girlfriend a gift?"
MegumiWe all sighed as soon as we begin. This is so awkward but Yui tries her best to lead our group. She really is reliable. She disseminates the task effectively and says that we have to submit a draft by tomorrow morning and work on it as a group again tomorrow.
YuiMegumi comes back inside the classroom and awkwardly sits beside me. I'm still pissed off not entirely because Henry ended up liking her but because I genuinely thought of her as my friend.
Megumi I woke up and got ready for school. I don't think I really have the energy to go to school but still, I got up earlier than usual because I wouldn't want to bump into Henry so early in the morning.
