The school prince (♀) is only close to me (♂) Remake

Chapter 16

(A/N Notes: In this chapter, we have the starring of a certain character from another story of mine that appeared a few chapters ago)

" "..." "

"... *Sniff*..." *Sipping juice with a straw with a dejected expression*

Yuriko, and her two childhood friends, Inoue Ayano and Takahashi Aki, were inside a cafe in the neighboring city, it was mostly empty with only a few people inside. The two were looking at Yuriko with warm eyes as they waited for her to calm down a little more

"... Are you feeling better, Yu-chan?"

"*Sniff* Yes..."

Aki was the first one to talk with Yuriko, managing to get a response from her

"Do you mind telling us what happened?"

"No..."

"Then can you tell us?"

"*Nods*..."

Aki was talking to Yuriko with a gentle voice, which looked very contradictory to her pretty "wild" appearance, from her long orange hair which was somewhat messy with a portion of her hair tied in a side tail by a red ribbon on her right side. Yuriko took a deep breath before she began speaking with a shaky and weak voice

"T-Ta... T-Take... Uuuuhh... T-Takeru... *Sniff* H-he... H-he... H-he's been i-ignoring m-me... Uuuuuuuhhh..."

And Yuriko again broke into tears as she began to cry silently. Then Ayano extended her hand to pat Yuriko's head

"There, there, Yu-chan. No need to hold back, we're your childhood friends, after all, got it?"

"*Sniff*... *Nods*..."

Ayano, who had dark green short straight hair and wore glasses that gave her a considerable nerdy look, and Aki, were both used to seeing Yuriko act like that since they knew how she had a tendency to become needy from time to time

" "..." "

They both stayed silent as they once again waited for Yuriko to calm herself, but they were still talking to each other with their eyes

<That Takeru person is definitely a boy>

<Yes, definitely. And it also appears that Yu-chan got really attached to him, for her to be this emotional from him ignoring her>

<Did they have a fight?>

<Possible, she might've gone overboard with something that made that Takeru person want to avoid her for some time>

<Makes sense, also... I think she might actually be in love with him>

<I think the same, but Yu-chan doesn't appear to be aware of her feelings towards him>

<Yu-chan... Dense as always, at least she's good at getting close to nice people so that Takeru person is definitely a nice person>

<Yeah, I also agree with that, Aki-chan>

<Thanks, Ayano-chan. Ah! Yuriko stopped crying>

The two noticed that Yuriko had stopped crying and was now fidgeting with her finger, stopped their secret talk and brought their attention back to Yuriko

"... Sorry for that..."

"It's fine"

"Yeah, so do you mind telling us about that Takeru person?"

"... No... So Takeru is... ... ... Cute... He's always willing to talk with me... And his embarrassed expressions are cute..."

Yuriko continue to praise Takeru, and then she began to talk about the time they spent together. Her expression had improved a little, she had a brighter expression but she still looked sad while her cheeks had turned a little red
