Apparently the Gal who Bullies me Likes me

Chapter 2

The Seat Next to Me

During class, I remembered how I went home with Tachibana on my bike yesterday.

The two bags in the basket, the weight of the pedals, Tachibana's back with her black hair being blown by the wind, somehow I felt nostalgic even though it only happened yesterday.

I looked at the seat next to me and saw that Tachibana was lying down on her desk.

I can understand why she would want to sleep, since she was sitting at the very back of the classroom by the window. And, since this is a school where delinquents gather, it's normal that there aren't that many students who are taking the class seriously.

I look at Tachibana's face while she is sleeping.

If I describe her rather than saying cute I would say that she is beautiful. 

When compared to the other girls it seems that she does not seem to be wearing a lot of makeup.

I guess you could call that a natural beauty.

I have learned the term "natural beauty" from listening to the conversations of the gals who are bullying me, including Tachibana.

Her eyelashes are long and curled, and her eyes are long and slit.

The bridge of her nose is firm and her lips are full.

Her shiny black hair was silky and looked like it could be used in a shampoo commercial.

When the wind blows, you can smell the sweet scent of the perfume she wears.

If someone said that she is a model for a magazine I would immediately believe them.

While I was staring at her Tachibana suddenly opened her eyes.

When that happened I immediately look away.

Wait, did she found out that I was looking at her sleeping face?

Tachibana who had just woken up stared at me suspiciously.

I pretend that I didn't notice her and continue writing on my notebook.

"You were looking at me, weren't you?"

This is really bad, it seems she knew that I was looking at her.

While I'm enduring Tachibana's dubious gaze, I was thinking on a way on how to get out of this situation.

Suddenly the bell for the end of the class rings.

I remembered that P.E. was next, so I immediately grabbed my bag and ran to the boys' locker room.

"Hey! Wait!"

I heard Tachibana's voice from behind me, but I pretended not to hear her and ran out of the classroom.
