Basketball Club

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka POV

It was our classmates, Ike and Yamauchi.

"Oh. You guys are here too. Are you also thinking of joining a club?"

Last time Sumire talked to either of them was during the introducctions, but she is talking to them in a normal way now.

Hmm.

It seems they haven't angered her as much as Horikita has.

At least, not yet.

"Yes, of course!"

"Would you like to know?"

They were obviously lying.

Why though?

Do girls like boys who play sports more?

"Oh, really? Which club are you joining then?"

"Uh...that...umm"

Sumire raised a questioning brow.

Ike decided that this was embarrassing and so decided to change the topic.

"Sumire-chan, are you thinking of joining a club too?"

"Oh, no. I am not joing any club. But we are here to support Sudou-kun. He is joining the basketball club here, you know."

Sumire beamed while saying the last part.

Ike and Yamauchi deflated for some reason.

Again, Ike tried to change the conversation topic.

"Also, that student council president has a strong aura. As if he ruled the place."

"Right? He was able to silence everyone."

This time, Sudou was the one to reply.

Ike didn't seem too happy about that.

"Yea, yea. Also, I made a male group chat yesterday."

Why did you have to say that in front of Sumire?

Ike took out his phone.

"Do you both want to join too? It's pretty convenient."

"Eh, is that fine?"

"Of course. We're all a part of class D after all."

I didn't expect that.. I'm glad to have been invited to a group chat.

"What is this about?"

Oh no.

Sumire was looking increasingly interested in this group chat.

"I also want to join!"

Ike and Yamauchi both sweatdropped.

"I am really sorry, Sumire-chan, but this group chat is for boys only."

Ike very patiently told that to Sumire.

Sorry, Ike. No matter how much patience you put into your words, it's not gonna change Sumire's mind.

"Why is that? Just make it for the whole class."

"Uhh..."

Sigh.

It seems like I have to step in.

"Sumire, knowing Hirata, he would probably make a group chat for the whole class. So, why don't you make a group chat for all the girls?"

She brightened up at the idea.

"Oh! Kiyo-chan! Let's also make a group chat for just us three as well!"
