“Like Horikita… I wanted to at least look like I got along with Horikita-san . ”
“But you were stressed, huh . ”
“Yea . That’s my way of life . That way, I can feel my own real significance . ”
She answered without hesitation . Kushida has feelings and rules that only she herself knows . That’s what she was saying . Following her own rules, she frantically tried over and over to get along with Horikita .
“I’m telling you this because of the circumstances, but I really hate gloomy and plain boys like you . ”
My image of the cute Kushida has been shattered, but I’m not really shocked . People tend to have both public and private images, after all .
However, Kushida’s answer felt like it had both truths and lies .
“This is just my intuition, but were you and Horikita acquaintances? Before coming to this school . ”
When I said that, Kushida’s shoulder flinched for a split second .
“What the… I don’t know what you mean . Did Horikita-san say something about me?”
“No, I thought that it was your first time meeting her . It’s funny, though . ”
“… Funny?”
I remembered the first time Kushida talked to me .
“When I was introducing myself, you instantly remembered my name, no?”
Kushida asked in reply, “So what?”
“Where did you hear Horikita’s name from? At that time, she hadn’t told her name to anybody . The only one who knew was Sudou, but I doubt you met Sudou then . ”
In other words, she shouldn’t have had the chance to learn her name .
“Also, you probably got close to me so you could keep tabs on her, right?”
“Just shut up . I’m getting irritated from listening to you talk . I only want to say one thing . Do you swear that you won’t say a word of what you learned here?”
“I promise . Even if I told anyone, no one would believe me, right?”
Kushida is really trusted by the class . A difference of heaven and earth between us .
“… Ok . I believe you . ”
Although she didn’t change her expression, Kushida closed her eyes and exhaled deeply .
“Is there anyone that would even believe me?”
I accidently blurted out those words .
“Horikita-san’s kind of unusual, right?”
“Well, I’d say she’s really unusual . ”
“She’s not affected by anyone, nor does she involve herself with other people . The exact opposite of me . ”
Kushida and Horikita are really two opposite poles .
“You know, she only opens herself up to you . ”
“Wait . Let me make a quick revision . She doesn’t open herself up . Absolutely not . ”
“… Probably . Even so, she trusts you the most . Out of everyone I know, she has the most confidence in herself and the most wariness towards others . She wouldn’t trust anyone who’s worthless and stupid . ”
“You’re saying she has a good eye for people, right?”
“That’s the reason I said I believed you . After all, you’re pretty apathetic towards others, right?”
I don’t remember showing Kushida that kind of behavior, but she seemed to have confidence in her words .
“It’s not like it’s that strange to say . You showed absolutely no signs of giving your seat up to the old woman, right?”
I see, that’s what she’s talking about . She noticed us on the bus . And then she realized that we weren’t even thinking of giving up our seats .
“If you believed me, then don’t spread pointless rumors like that . ”
“If you had that much confidence before, you wouldn’t have had the chance to feel my breasts . ”
“Thats—I was really confused there . I panicked…”
Her facial expression softened, and changed to one of impatience .
“So, can I think of you as a bitch that would let boys touch your breasts without any hesitation?”
She kicked my thigh with all her strength . In a panic, I took hold of the railing .
“Dangerous! I could’ve gotten injured!”
“That’s because you said something stupid!”
With a flushed face (from anger, not bashfulness), Kushida snapped at me .
“Hey, wait for a bit . ”
I gave her a small nod .
Going back up the stairs, Kushida quickly got her bag and came back . She had a wide grin on her face .
“Shall we go back together?”
“S-sure . ”
I wondered whether this was a bad dream as her attitude did a complete 180 . It was the usual Kushida . In the end, I couldn’t tell which one was the real her .
