A rumour had formed around the fact that I was seen constantly getting into Kaburagi’s car.
‘Kaburagi-sama and Reika-sama went home together today.’
‘This morning, Kaburagi-sama told Reika-sama not to forget about their promise after school.’
This was horrible.
Since this was all Kaburagi’s fault, even if by some chance he came to blame me for it this time I was going to bite him back.
Seriously though, it was actually so depressing having these unfounded love stories being told about yourself.
“Gosh, Reika-sama. When did this happen?”
“I’ve always thought that you’d be a great match for Kaburagi-sama.”
“Say, Reika-sama, won’t you tell us what kind of chats you’ve been having with him?”
“Waah! Me too, me too!”
At lunch, the girls pestered me for love stories with stars in their eyes.
What kind of chats, you ask? Mostly about Kaburagi’s ridiculous romance, and lectures on how commoners live.
Did you know, girls~? Kaburagi wanted to light up fireworks for his confession, and he gave a girl he wasn’t even dating yet a handmade ring with their initials carved into it~
“We shared a car because I had some business with him, but nothing like what you girls are imagining, all right?”
“Ehh? But people saw him take your hand too.”
Probably that time I really didn’t want to go, he got tired of my trudging, and then dragged me away by the arm.
“Perhaps it was the time he pulled me forward because I was walking too slowly. I doubt it was more than that.”
“I heard that the two of you seemed to be talking quite cordially with each other.”
“About studies, I suspect.”
Like that time I suggested textbooks and workbooks as a present, or the time Kaburagi told me about his library date.
The girls seemed put out by my boring explanations, but who was going to take responsibility if these baseless rumours drove the boys even further away from me?
Right now I still had the faint hope that somewhere in this school at least one boy secretly had a crush on me.
Since I recently rid myself of that unlucky poem anthology my love life was definitely going to get better from here.
“Kisshouin-san, I’ve gathered the free time plans from the boys.”
Satomi-kun came my way with the papers for the class trip. I had already collected the same forms from the girls.
“Shall we hand them in then?”
“I can go by myself, you know?” he suggested, being considerate of the fact that I was chatting with my group.
