Chapter 48: Chapter 46 - Midori's Decision
Midori's days after her date with Ryousuke were bright and sunny. As if the world had turned out differently, she was more and more convinced that she did love him.
"hahh... ♡"
She don't know how many times she looked at the smartphone wallpaper containing a photo of the two of them. With teary eyes and flushed cheeks, she looked at it. Again, again and again.
Take it easy, there was no one at home. Her parents were away at work, and she was home alone. There would be no one to invade her privacy. It was a strange thing indeed, usually she would clean herself up immediately after waking up from her sleep. But today, after she opened her eyes, what she was thinking about was neither washing her face nor brushing her teeth. Upon waking up, her mind immediately went to work and started thinking about him.
Still wearing her pajamas, she picked up her smartphone beside her bed, stored on the study table. And just like that, she spent her morning just staring at the screen. Thinking of nothing else but him.
'Ryousuke... Kun'
She smiled embarrassedly, realizing that she had once again started saying his first name. Midori, with a happy feeling, recalled the time when Ryousuke had called her by her first name too... That was good.
*croakk
Although her daydreaming time had to be postponed after her body started protesting due to hunger. She held her stomach, put the smartphone back on the table and walked out. She prepared her morning meal by herself after she cleaned up and started her morning with a bright heart.
Although she ate at the dining table alone, she didn't feel the usual loneliness. All she felt was a warm feeling and longed to see him. The sky outside was also clear, seemingly supporting her mood.
This feeling had been going on for the past few days since the day of their date. It was Monday, she was ready with her uniform and was about to go to school. Finishing her morning meal, she picked up her bag and left the house. Not forgetting to lock the door as well.
Her mood was really good. She hoped today would be a good day.
----------
But it wasn't.
Her hope for today to be a good day seemed to have to be postponed. All because of what she saw in front of her.
'Who is... That girl?'
It was lunch break time. After she finished her lunch with Sayaka, she was about to return to her class. Sayaka Mayu was not by her side as she went to the toilet and told her to go to class first, saying that she had a stomachache.
And on the way to her class, she saw the scene in front of her. Two people who looked very close, chatting intimately. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she was still convinced that the two were indeed close.
The problem was, one of them was someone she knew. The only male friend she had, as well as the person she loved, Ryousuke-kun. He, with a concerned look on his face, spoke to the girl in his arms.
'No... This... '
Instantly, she felt that she must not be seen by them or she would not know how to respond. She hid into a corner and watched them silently.
*dug!
*dug!
*dug!
Her heartbeat was beating fast. This time it was not because of nervousness or embarrassment, but because of other feelings.
First, she felt annoyance. Followed by anger and also envy towards the girl in Ryousuke's arms.
A feeling of jealousy.
She knew this feeling very well. She often felt it when she saw other people laughing, hanging out with friends, or seeing a happy-looking family on the street. The feeling of jealousy when she realized she was alone and wanted to be like them.
Although, this feeling of jealousy is different. It was more... Solid, not just the usual jealousy and envy, but started to progress into hatred all directed at that girl. Stop stop stop... She tried to stop this feeling from arising, but it was all in vain.
The two of them seemed to be walking away, who knows where, until finally she couldn't see them anymore. Running, she climbed the stairs and entered her classroom in a hurry. Without paying attention to the others, she began to sit on her seat and bowed her head. Her eyes were unfocused, and her mind began to fill with all sorts of prejudices.
'I'm not his girlfriend... So I have no right to be jealous. Ryousuke kun would certainly prefer a girl like her over this ugly me, that's obvious. How stupid of me to expect that he would like me...'
She started overthinking.
Even as the bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom, she still couldn't focus and just listened blankly. At times like this, her inferiority complex began to emerge, she could never think that she was good enough and would see others as better than her.
She stayed like that for a few moments, before her mind started looking for a little escape.
Feeling the weight of a metal object on her skirt, she instinctively grabbed her smartphone and opened it discreetly. There, she saw a picture of her smiling with Ryousuke, and it calmed her down.
"Ah... That's right.... .... ", looking at the wallpaper on the screen, she recalled the decision she made the day she realized she liked Ryousuke. 'This is my life, and I decided that I would fight for this feeling'
Yes, that's right.
She slowly began to smile, a smile full of confidence.
Her eyes lit up again, closing the screen and putting her smartphone back away, she had a determined face.
'It can't be like this... I have to get rid of this bad feeling and make everything clear'
Midori decided. Seeing what happened earlier, she realized that indeed, a good man like Ryousuke would definitely not only do good to her, but would also do it to others. If it's a boy it's fine, but if it's a girl like earlier... She would not be alone in fighting for him.
"...", she stared straight at the blackboard, returning to her usual look.
Even though in her heart, she had already decided.
...
She was going to attack.
Yes, she would declare her feelings for him. Whatever answer Ryousuke would give, she wanted to make things clear and without regret. She was prepared for all the consequences.
'I love you, and I will make it clear by confessing my feelings to you, Ryousuke kun'
At that moment, the shy innocent girl that people knew began to change inside. The former Midori wouldn't even think about a decision like this and would just act passively as usual, but now...
Ichiba, the girl who was the target of Midori's jealousy, became the cause of the decision made by her. Realizing that she had to move quickly or it would be too late.
...
Without his known, Ryousuke started another incident that would leave him even more shocked than Ichiba who sprained her ankle and couldn't continue performing her play.
An event that will make Ryousuke and Midori's relationship change forever.
----------
"Ugh... My stomach hurts..."
Midori, thinking very serious thoughts in her mind. Everything until she even forgot about all the things around her.
One of them was about her friend, Sayaka Mayu.
Even though the bell had rung, she couldn't go back to her class because of her upset stomach after she finished eating the cafeteria's special menu for today.
Super spicy karaage.
Although the karaage was delicious, Sayaka Mayu made the decision to never eat it again.
"HuaaAaa! Full thrust!"
Sayaka Mayu's struggle in the toilet would be an epic story that she would definitely always remember.
