Today was Tuesday, the day after I've decided to break the truth to Mayafumi once and for all. I silently hyped myself up in my seat, reminding myself of my conversation with Akihiko-kun-- minus the suggestive bit at the end.

You can do it, Hitori!



" You're a lot more likable than you think, y'know?"



" Never before have I liked a person this much till' I met you."



STOP!


GET OUT OF MY HEAD!



Another truth about that day, was that I couldn't seem to get those words out of my head. Why does Akihiko-kun have to go and put certain ideas in my head when I know it's anything but. Agh! Okay, just calm down and remember the goal for today, and that is to clear up a misunderstanding between myself and Mayafumi-san.


Wait a minute.




W-What if she doesn't approach me first?!


I was suddenly hit with a backfist of realization from my own arrogance. I went into this, hyping myself up, thinking that Mayafumi-san would be the one approaching me. I completely disregarded the possibility in which she doesn't.




Does that mean I have to approach first?

I can't do that!


Class loners don't just approach popular girls like her! It's always the other way around!





I can already imagine how it'd go...

" U-Um...e-excuse me, Mayafumi-san..." I called out to her as she was talking to her friends.

" Hm?" She turns to me with a rather disgusted look, the look was shared with those in her circle as they eyed me with scrutiny.


I began shivering under their gaze.



" C-Can we talk for a moment--"



" Hah? Who does this peasant think she is?" One of her friends laughed amusingly. " Did she lose track of her place or something?"


" Lol! What a loser!"


" Ugh, the fact she approached us disgusts me!"


" Her pink hair and fashion sense is so trashy! "




" Akemi-chan, send away this friendless introvert back to where she belongs!" One of them says to Mayafumi.
