Classroom of the Elite (Ayanokoji Kiyone)

Volume 1 : Making Friend

Ayanokoji Kiyone POV

??? : "Kikyou-chan, do you want to stop by a cafe on the way home?"

Kushida : "Un, let's go! Ah, but wait a bit. I want to ask one more person."

After being invited by one of her female friends, Kushida walked towards Horikita while putting a book in her bag.

Kushida : "Horikita-san. I'm going to the cafe with my friend, if you'd like, would you like to join?"

Horikita : "I'm not interested."

Horikita swiftly cut down Kushida's invitation with a few words.

Can't you just lie that you're planning on shopping or that you're meeting with someone else? Horikita bluntly rejected her invitation. However, Kushida was still smiling.

This sight wasn't anything new. Ever since the entrance ceremony, Kushida has periodically tried to invite Horikita. I thought it would be fine for Horikita to accept once in awhile, but that might be the perspective of a bystander. Nevertheless, no one has been able to invite Horikita successfully. Well, maybe not if you put my attempt on the club fair as count

I wonder, why she is so persistenly....Not quite right...

Why she tried so hard to invite her, there is another student who look like alone. Aside from her, maybe Sakura-san and I can be categorized loner. I wonder....

Unlike Horikita who decide become loner, why nobody asked me to hangout. Honestly I feel lonely...

Several boys sometimes started talk with me. Honestly I think some of their conversation quite interesting that's why sometimes I talk with them genuinely. But this case wasn't happened with girl. Almost none of them are started conversation with me except Horikita-san who mostly she mocking me on purpose like a routine for her.

Kushida : "Is that so.... Well, I'll invite you some other time."

Horikita : "Wait a second, Kushida-san."

For some reason, Horikita called out Kushida. By any chance, did she give into Kushida's invitation?

Horikita : "Please don't invite me again. It's a bother."

She said with a cold tone. Typical classic Horikita I guess

However, Kushida wasn't affected and continued to smile.

Kushida : "I'll invite you some other time."

Kushida ran back to her friends, and they exited the hallway.

??? : "Kikyou-chan, please stop inviting Horikita-san. I don't like her"

As the door was closing, the girl's voices could be faintly heard. C-cruel...

The words should have been heard by the nearby Horikita, but there was no indication that she heard them.

Wait a sec, could it be the reason why nobody girl invite me was because they secretly hate me even if I do nothing? Now, I'm worried. How could I ruin my school life by doing nothing?!

Horikita : "You don't say unnecessary things like that, do you?"

Eh? She suddenly talk to me?

Kiyone : "Yeah. I understand you well enough. It's pointless."

Horikita : "That's good."

Horikita, who finished packing up, walked out of the classroom at her own pace.

I was lingering around the classroom for a bit, but I got bored and stood up from my seat. Time to go home. Then I decide to exit the classroom
