A Story About a Handsome Girl Having Her First Kiss Stolen by an Equally Handsome Classmate - Episode 10

February 18 (Friday)

She parted her grown-out bangs in the center and curled the ends tightly outward.

Originally, she had a layered bob cut, but today’s hairstyle has a slight wolf cut feel to it. The moment we met, Mizuhara was hooked on this hairstyle.

“Oh! You look so cute today.”

Mizuhara once again described Wakamatsu as “cute.”

Because his face is androgynous, he is often described as “cool” but rarely as “cute.” When Mizuhara says that to him, his body heats up.

“Are you embarrassed?”

“Well, you see…no no one has ever told me I’m cute.”

“Really? It’s so cute.”

Over the past month, I’ve gradually come to understand more about Mizuhara through casual conversation.

Favorite celebrities, favorite music, dramas you’ve watched recently, and movies you’ve enjoyed. Regardless of celebrities, I was happy to find that we shared the same favorite dramas and movies. I think being able to share the same things and find them interesting is very important in building relationships.

“Hey, where does Wakamatsu’s special come from?”

“Hmm?”

For a change, Mizuhara Shizuku brings up the topic.

“Wakamatsu, you treat everyone like this, right?”

“Well, I suppose so.”

“Even if I had stopped going to school at Komazawa, I would have done the same thing.”

Well, there’s no denying that.

Even if it wasn’t Mizuhara Shizuku who was asked by Yamabe sensei, I would still go to her house, make the same effort to get to know her, and be by her side. It’s easy to imagine that.

Wakamatsu has a wide circle of friends and is very mobile. If he has even the slightest connection with them, he will go over to play with them, even if they are from a different class or school.

Sure, you have a friend you can call your best friend, but if you were asked if there is a difference in the way she behaves with you compared to your other friends, you would say that, to be honest, there is almost no difference.

“Special, I never thought about it.”

“Hmm, so is your lover special?”

“I think he’s special. Even if I get a boyfriend, I’ll probably prioritize my friends.”

As I munch on a Pocky, I think about the meaning behind this conversation. Maybe Mizuhara has someone he likes.

“How do you treat your lover?”

“Uh, yeah…?”

“How do you like to be treated?”

Mizuhara Shizuku’s words made my body heat up.

“Just be normal! Just be normal!”

“Which side are you, S or M?”

“picture!?”

Even though it’s the middle of winter, my cheeks are getting hot. Is it because of the heating in the room, or is it because of Mizuhara Shizuku’s teasing?

“It’s normal! Normal, normal!”

“You don’t have to lie. Wakamatsu, you’re a masochist, aren’t you?”

“No way!”

“I don’t know, I’ve never met anyone like that,” I swallowed and ended the conversation. I brought up a different topic to Mizuhara, something unrelated to romance. It was normal to talk about love with friends, but when it came to talking about it with Mizuhara Shizuku, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
