The Next Day
P.E. Period
Track and Field Ground
(Y/N) POV
Maeda: You're good at sport, aren't you? Why did you give excuse saying you're not feeling well?
Me:*sleepy* I wanna sleep... *dozes off*
Maeda*thought*: He dozed off...!!
Maeda: Hey, don't fell asleep when we're having a conversation!
He said while shaking my body.
Me: What...?
Maeda: Don't "what" me and stay awake!
He said and stopped shaking my body.
Maeda: Anyways, I heard your 50 meters dash record is 7 seconds, right?
Me: Yeah... I think so...
Suddenly...
Maeda POV
Teacher: Nakano-san, 6.9 seconds!
Me: Oh, she beat your reco...
Before I could finish my sentence, I noticed that (Y/N) has stood up and there was... Fire around him...
Me*thought*: What the heck? He got fired up in all of sudden!
(Y/N): Sensei, let me try too.
Teacher: (L/N)? But didn't you say-
(Y/N): I'm fine now.
Nino POV
Me&My siblings: Didn't he say he isn't feeling well?
Teacher: Well... If you said so...
(Y/N) took off his P.E. jacket and started to jog to the starting line.
The teacher blew the whistle and (Y/N) instantly sprinted to the finish line faster than Yotsuba.
He reached the finish line in...
Teacher: (L/N)-san, 4.1 seconds!
Classmate 1: Woah!
Classmate 2: He beat Nakano-san's record!
Classmate 3: Forget about Nakano-san, he beat Usain Bolt's record for 50 meters dash!
Yotsuba: (Y/N)-kun sure is fast! I wonder what makes him got all fired up!
Me& The other three:*looks at her* Yeah... We think the same thing too...
(Y/N) POV
Teacher:*looks at me* How about joining Olympic?
Me:*picks up my jacket* Hell no. That sounds like it needs ton of works.
Teacher:*sighs* Anyways, are there are any of the P.E. committee around? I need someone to clean this up.
Classmate 1: Ah, they're absent today.
Teacher: Then I'll leave it to you, class reps.
Me*thought*: I'm gonna beat their ass for sure.
Me:*wears my jacket* Let's get this over with, Yotsuba.
Yotsuba: Okay!
We started to walk to all the stuffs that we need to bring to the storage room.
Me: I'll take this massive one. Take care of the smaller ones.
Yotsuba: Sure.
We picked up our portion and started walking towards the storage room.
As we walking, I heard two of our female classmates chatting about us.
Female Classmate 1: See? I knew it.
Female Classmate 2: There's gotta be something going on between them.
I just sighed.
Yotsuba:...
Lunch Break
Cafeteria
Yotsuba POV
Me: Itsuki! Please take my position as class rep!
Itsuki: Wha? But you were so eager to do this previously...
Me: Please~ I'll even let you have this croquette roll.
Itsuki: Y-You're solely mistaken if you think I can be bribed with food!
She said while eating the croquette roll that I offered.
Me: There's the rumor going around and I'm frankly bothered by it. So I want you to be class rep, instead.
Itsuki: A rumor?
Me: They're saying that m-me... And (Y/N)-kun are... Go-going out together...
Itsuki: But didn't we agreed that...
Me: I know, but...
Itsuki: You don't want (Y/N)-kun to lose face?
Me:...
Itsuki: Yotsuba, you know (Y/N)-kun well. This kind of thing won't bother him even a little.
Me: But still...
Itsuki:*sighs* How about you just ask him what he thinks about you?
Me...
Timeskip
After school
Our class
(Y/N) POV
Me: Good grief... They call us class reps but we just get stuck doing odd jobs.
I said and put a book on a student's table.
Me:*looks at Yotsuba* I'm done here, how about you?
Yotsuba:...
I grabbed her ribbons.
Me: Are you listening?
Yotsuba: S-Sorry!
Me:*let her go* Well, let's get this over with.
Yotsuba:... (Y-(Y/N)-kun, what do you exactly think about me?
Me: Hah? What's with this cliche romance question?
Yotsuba: I-It just...
She didn't finish her sentence.
I sighed.
Me: Well, I think the answer is the same as I gave to your siblings. I love you.
Yotsuba: But I...
Me: What?
Y
otsuba: I don't want you to lose face when people know that you going out with an idi-
I put my index finger on her lips.
Me: Stop insulting yourself.
I removed my finger from her lips.
Me: And I don't care if I lose face, Yotsuba. When I was just a child, my mother always said, "no matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying". That's why...
I smiled at her.
Me:*smiles* Never lose faith in yourself. Humans are equal only when they were born. And after that, they are no longer equal. They change over time based on the actions they took. If you can't change yourself alone, then don't worry. I'll be with you. Even when I go to Stanford, I'll still try my best to help you and your sisters.
Yotsuba: (Y/N)-kun...
Me: Well, I'll wait for you outside.
Yotsuba:*smiles* Sure.
I started to walk to the door.
Me: Oh, yeah, before I forgot...
Yotsuba: What is-
I cut her off with a kiss on the lips.
She was shocked, of course.
After a few seconds, we broke the kiss.
Yotsuba quickly looked away.
I ruffled her hair while smiling.
Me:*smiles* You did well, class rep.
