Chapter 39 Jealousy

Jealousy

“Is it true that you rejected the confession of Maruyama-kun (丸山), the ace of the baseball club?”

During the lunch break, in an empty classroom on the first floor, the leader of a group of three girls questioned Mizuki. The two surrounding her also stare at Mizuki intimidatingly. These three girls are from the same class as Maruyama.

As Mizuki walked down the hallway, the three girls who had been waiting for her by pretending to be a coincidence caught her and led her into this empty classroom. The classroom is locked so that no third party can enter.

“…Maruyama-kun? The ace of the baseball club? Ah, that guy. Yes… It’s true.”

Tracing her memories in her head, Mizuki remembers the male student the girl in front of her mentioned and answers weakly with a somewhat resigned look on her face. Maybe she was at least a little bit scared.

“Yes, it’s true? What the hell!”

Exploding with rage, the leader girl in the middle raises a loud, rough voice and pins Mizuki to the wall next to the blackboard.

Mizuki’s back hits the wall hard.

“Ouch…!”

She turns her eyes away from the girl, her face contorted in pain, and lets out a weak voice.

“Really! Since you entered school, you’ve charmed a lot of guys, and when they confess to you, you turn them down. It’s annoying enough for a girl like you to get a crush in the first place, but the fact that you don’t go out with any of them and reject all of their confessions as if to put a damper on it really annoys me. Have you ever thought about other people’s feelings just because you’re a little pretty?”

“Really!”

“You play with people’s feelings!”

Following the leader’s ramblings, two of her cronies also go after Mizuki. Of course, they criticize Mizuki a lot.

“I want to smash that face of yours to my heart’s content. But if I use violence and damage your ugly face, I’ll get into trouble. I want to abuse you and drive you into a corner. But I’ll give you a break today. Thank you for your time.”

The clock on the blackboard in the empty classroom reads 12:40. In five minutes, lunch break will be over, and the fifth period will begin.

“Let’s go.”

Responding to the leader’s call, two girls surrounding her leave the empty classroom.

The sound of the door closing echoes loudly in the quiet, empty classroom. Mizuki is left alone.

“Sigh~ This is the worst.”

Leaning against the wall, Mizuki falls helplessly to the floor. As she falls, her skirt does its job well, keeping Mizuki’s panties out of sight.”

“Even if you are popular, there is no good in it. I wish I could share it with someone else.”

With a look of despair on her face, Mizuki covered her face with both hands. For a while, Mizuki couldn’t move.
