Akira Momoshiro - It wasn't planned like this (english)

Chapter 22

I registered some light falling on my face. Slowly I opened my eyes and was blinded by the sun shining through the side of the blinds. I sat up and stretched. >> You can really get used to being woken up like this. << All at once, I felt sad. "I'd rather be in training..." I stood up and headed to my wardrobe where I selected my outfit for today. Looking at my bandages, I paused for a moment. >>Should I tie off my breasts again? << After a moment's thought, I took one of the bandages and covered my chest with it.

>>The others in the class don't know what all went on...<<

As I continued to dress, my stomach began to growl. I realized that I hadn't eaten in more than a day, so I briefly checked the time and then made my way to the dining hall. Since the guys were probably going to be done training soon, I had to hurry so I wouldn't be surprised by them. Since I was thus in a hurry, I decided to just grab an apple and run off again. As soon as I held my loot in my hand and went back to the door, my eyes met my regular spot.

>> The laughter, our tinkering... it will never be the same... <<

I took a quick breath and went back to my room where I ate my breakfast. After that, I sat down on my bed and waited. When the time came to go to class, I took my school bag and went to the door, but I didn't open it. >> Do I really want to go where I have to see the others? I'd rather stay here... << I stood there for half an eternity until I finally got all my courage together and left the room. On the way to class I often had to fight with myself not to turn around again and finally I had managed to stand in front of my class.

A glance at my watch showed me that it was probably about to ring for class, so I reluctantly entered the room and took a seat at my desk without looking around. I could feel the astonished and puzzled looks of my classmates, but since class was about to begin, no one could speak to me.

During class, I tried to concentrate on the material and not look at Kuramochi or any other baseball player. I succeeded quite well, but it was quite exhausting. As soon as the break was over, I got up and left the room. I felt a certain emptiness in my stomach which was probably due to my poor breakfast. Unobtrusively, I made my way to the vending machine where I could buy something to eat. >> I never thought that this vending machine would one day ensure my survival. <<

After eating everything my money was enough for, I made my way back, running into some of my former colleagues from the other classes. I helped myself by staring stubbornly at the ground and walking past them. Once I arrived at my destination, I was about to open the door when I saw a small crowd in the corner of my eye. I glanced in that direction. It was Miyuki, Kuramochi, Maezono, Sawamura, Furuya, Kominato, Kayami, and Nabe, who were talking together and having their fun. Sawamura was apparently having less fun, as he just got some headbutts from his green-haired senpai. >> Since when do they talk so much to Kayami? << Inconveniently, Kayami's eyes and mine met. The others noticed that Kayami was fixing something with his gaze, so they too looked in my direction. I quickly looked away and disappeared through the door.

The next few lessons I had to think about exactly this situation, unfortunately this ensured that I did not notice anything of what the teacher was explaining. As soon as the redeeming bell rang, I stood up and threw all my things carelessly into my bag so that I could get out of the class as quickly as possible. I managed to leave at the same time as most of the class, which meant that my former colleagues could not see me.

Now it would be logical for me to go to my room right away, however, most of the students are out at this time and I can't bear to have to see any more of the team. For this reason, I went to the restrooms to wait a bit. I stopped in front of the entrances.

>> Girl or boy? << I took a breath and went into the men's restroom. There I went to the sinks and looked at myself in the mirror hanging above.

"What am I going to do? Is this really supposed to go on?", I asked myself, when suddenly the door opened. >> Kayami! << "Well, how are you doing after you got kicked out?" he asked as he walked towards me. "So far so good...", I tersely gave as an answer. The farther he came toward me, the farther I backed away until a wall stopped me. He stopped as soon as he was right in front of me. His hand came up and took my chin. "You know, I can't quite believe that. You must be hurt that your friends betrayed you, am I right?" - "Let go of me!", I said, slapping his hand away. "I would have hoped that anyone would have had your back, but the truth is that no one chose you in the vote. You're on your own! No one will ever be able to trust you again!" came from Kayami followed by a cheerful laugh. "Shut your mouth right now! I'm doing just fine without your stupid sayings...", before I could speak further, another person entered the room. It was Chris - Senpai.

Kayami smiled at me one last time before he then left the restrooms. Chris looked after him in wonder and then looked at me. I was leaning against the wall, unable to suppress my rising tears. My senpai walked up to me. "Akira, are you all right? Did Kayami do something to you?" I replied with a shake of my head. I then turned to one of the sinks and began to wet my face with water. "I'm fine," I said, addressing it more to myself.

Once I calmed down, I walked past Chris - Senpai to leave the room. "I'm sorry I delayed you," was the last thing I said before I disappeared. I immediately made my way to my room, where I locked myself up again to process what had happened. "Why can't he just leave me alone?" I sat down on my bed and wrapped myself in my blanket.

All afternoon I sat in this position thinkingabout what I could do, but I had no idea. In the end, these were my last thoughts until I fell into a bad sleep sitting up.
