Hahaha! Dumbasses...
"Hey did you hear? Today's Hot topic... Horikita is apparently very close to dating Haruki! It appears... that he is soon going to confess to her."
This has been the recent hot topic.
About the most popular guy, Haruto asking out horikita.
They are one of the most famous to be couple.
Or so it should be... but, there's something nobody knows.
I Kenji Ito am the childhood friend of Horikita Yamada.
Yes! And we are mutually in love with each other!
YESS!!! The most popular women in this school is madly in love with a plain man like me.
The proof?
As you can see. She has the letter in her hand clutched tightly as she was giggling away with her friends.
She was a popular outgoing women, and the 2nd most popular women in this school.
The 1st being the short silver haired women in class 2 A.
But, i feel like there can't be any women as beautiful as her and that is a matter of fact.
And this women... is interested in me!
A man like me!
It's almost unbelivable, i can stand toe to toe with a man like Haruki and not feel inferior and it's all thanks to him.
Because now... we would make ourselves official.
All i had to do was tell her how i feel and we will be official.
And... 1 hour from now!
We will become a couple.
...
I was waiting on the rooftop to tell her my feelings.
I waited for a bit and than the door opened, a gentle yet excited smile greeted me.
But, the moment she laid eyes on me... her expression hardened and she turned pale.
"Kenji?"
"Horikita! I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time... Ever since elementary school, I've genuinely liked you. I've always looked up to you as a person and I'll always see you as someone i hold dear to my life, so with that in mind. Would you give me someone like me the honour of dating you?"
I was so blinded by my confession that i couldn't see that there were other prople present.
I couldn't even realise how her expression turned into a 180.
"What?"
Cold chill ran down my spine as i for the first time heard her 'hostile voice.'
This is the reason alot of people are afraid to confess or even get closer to her.
The reason... She uses this voice the moment she targets someone as an enemy.
She... was talking to ME In that tone.
People were clicking pictures confused for some reason as they laughed at me.
Saying things like, is he delusional? This corny fello! 'He really thought he had a chance?' 'who was he again and some such words came from their mouths.
"Are you serious?"
She asked with the same cold glare and the same cold voice.
She showed hostility to me.
I wanted to refute it and say no.
My body was screaming me to say no but... i couldn't lie to myself.
I respected her, I cared about her, I wanted her to be by my side, Mosg of all... i might aswell say that i loved her.
I genuinely loved her.
I didn't wanna lie in this situation.
"Yes, I truly-"
"Enough!"
She was genuinely pissed.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA"
People began laughing at my sincerity.
I was left humiliated, i couldn't ecen utter a word at her cold stare at me.
"SHUT UP!"
She screamed, causing everyone to shut up in unison.
"Nobody gave ya'll trash the right to laugh, Ya hear!"
It was her 2nd stage of hatred.
"Were you the one who put the letter in my locker?"
A cold glare, followed by words as chilly as ice.
"...Yes!"
I tried not hesitating but i did indeed hesitate.
"This bastard, bahaha!"
"My god... how can someone be this dumb?"
"Can this guy even match 1% of Haruki?"
"If it were that easy that even mediocre people can make her fall in love... people wouldn't be havibg such a hard -!"
"If you don't shut your traps by the next 2 seconds, I'll rip your tongues out."
She stated, glaring at the people who were giving running commentary from behind.
They instinctively shut up.
Even now... i hoped this was all a dream i was having in my sleep as i was getting ready to confess to her.
I sincearly hoped, I'd get up to a kind Horikita greeting me.
I'd hoped, all that malice wasn't wxerted at me...
but the more time passed... the more i realised that it was the cruel reality of my life.
I was probably going to be rejected by her.
Worst part here is that i understand why she was so angry.
I... didn't write my number in the locker.
Based on all the runours that spread about the confession... She probably hoped it was Haruto and not me...
so the reason for her expression to stiffen when she saw me.
The disappointment of it not being him and the anger of it being... someone like me.
Not just offended her but, it proabbly made her blood boil.
"Haa!"
She sighed as she opened her mouth again.
I probably at the time never thought... those words would hold me back for the rest of my life.
"I'm disappointed!"
She stated.
"I hoped it wasn't real... I hoped you were just a kind person who knew what say at what time. At first i liked your kindness but than realised something..."
She continued with a disgustful expression.
"Was... all your show of kindness for this? So i would fall for you?"
She asked...
"Maybe... it might have happened if you hadn't been so damn calculative about your praises... but..."
I couldn't even process what she was saying... i was utterly shocked by the 2 key words Calculative Complimenting.
"I truly am... disgusted by you Kenji."
She stated, with eyes filled with hatred and disgust as she opened the door and walked out.
"Every asshole that recorded this incident, come to me after this. I have something personal to talk to ya'll."
She said as she left and i just stood there with the roses.
Standing there...
'Disgusted' Huh...
I don't know what you mean Horikita because... everything i said to you until now...
Things i wanted to tell you... in the future aswell, every praise, every speck of respect, Every damn compliment...
I genuinely did mean it. I... really did love you...
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
So... you really do like him haa?
I always thought that you guys looked perfect and you'd definately be wasted on me...
but now that I'm faced with this reality...
I do realise... that i really am a pathetic excuse for a human.
