High School Life

Mornings always start the same for me.

First, a quick trip up the mountain to take care of the slimes.
Then back down to water the garden.

After breakfast, I hop on my bike and head off to school.

Once I get to class, I quietly take my seat.

Next to me, Nakamori-san is already chatting away with Yamada-san.
They’re childhood friends, apparently, and always seem to be having fun together.
Laughing, smiling, trading inside jokes I don’t quite get.

I… don’t really have the guts to jump into a conversation between two girls like that.

But every now and then, Nakamori-san surprises me by suddenly pulling me into the conversation.
Just a casual, light comment—an open door.

We end up chatting, the three of us.
It’s a nice moment.

Until he shows up.

Right on cue, Takasugi-kun barges into the conversation, uninvited as ever.
He starts bragging—about how rich his family is, how some girl confessed to him but he turned her down, how amazing his watch is… stuff no one asked to hear.

And then, it happens.

Bit by bit, Nakamori-san’s face goes completely blank.
All the life drains from her smile.

Takasugi-kun, read the room, seriously.

I want to scream it, but instead I just sigh inwardly.

Finally, Nakamori-san drops the hammer.

"You’re annoying, Takasugi-kun."
A clean, merciless cut.

Takasugi-kun glares at me like I just stabbed him, then storms off back to his seat.

It’s become a routine at this point.

But still…

Why does he always glare at me?

What did I do?
