Fake 75: New Semester

I was feeling a little positive last night. But, as soon as I stepped into school, I felt like I returned to what I was before.
In fact, rather than saying I returned to what I was before, I might not have changed that much, perhaps.
However, the fact that I am now going to school side by side with Aoi is clearly different compared to the beginning of the second semester.
After parting with Aoi, I went to my class and took my seat, but it was still no different from usual.
There was nobody to greet me nor did I have to greet anyone. I sat down and waited for the class to start, but there was still some time left, so I was gazing at the scenery outside and spacing out. It was then that I heard a voice from the side.

“H-hey……”

At first, I neglected it because I thought the voice was not directed at me, but I heard the voice once again.

“Hey……”

In response, when I turned to look in the direction of the voice, Honda was standing there.

“Eh? Me?”

“Yeah, it is a morning greeting.”

“……Greeting? Ahh, a greeting…… I see.”

“Yeah. Thanks for the last time……”

“Oh, okay.”

“After getting berated by Wakaba-san, I thought about it again, and my attitude was terrible. I wasn’t behaving in the proper manner even though I was saved by Yamaoki. So, I’m sorry.”

“………It’s okay, I don’t really mind about it.”

“Then, that is all.”

“Alright.”

How surprising. I never thought that Honda would apologize to me and thank me.
Although my response became iffy in surprise at this sudden development, it was, by no means, a bad feeling.
Because today was the first day of the third semester, we only had classes in the first half of the day. In the afternoon, Aoi came to my classroom to pick me up and, when we were about to return home, unexpected visitors turned up in my classroom.

“Ahh, we found you. Are both of you in class 3?”

“Aidani-senpai and Higashima-senpai.”

“We’ve troubled you the other day.”

“I was still thinking if it might be a little too early, but we wanted to greet you at school. So, we came here right away.”

“Likewise, thank you very much for the other day.”

“It seems both of you are in the same class.”

“No, only I am in class 3. Aoi is in the next class.”

“That is right. Although I am in class 2, I am going home together with Rin-kun. And, I just arrived here to pick him up.”

“I see. So, it is like this. You two are well-matched, indeed.”

“Thanks for the compliments. It is natural because we are ‘partners.’”

Not only Aoi but also two people, who obviously looked like upperclassmen, came to talk to me intimately like close friends. Thus, it was inevitable that I could feel my classmates’ gazes on me.

“If you like, why don’t we eat lunch together after this?”

“Lunch? What would you do, Aoi?”

“I don’t mind if Rin-kun is okay with it.”

“Then, let’s eat together.”

“Is that so? I am glad that you agree. Okay then, there is a restaurant where we often go to. Will that place be alright with you?”

“Yes, please do so.”

After that, we were taken to a place that seemed like a fashionable cafe by the two seniors, and we had lunch there.
Of course, it was my first time eating in a place like this, so I got nervous, and my way of eating became a little awkward. Nevertheless, the lunch was delicious.
I also think we were able to chat quite unreservedly.
I thought nothing had changed when I went to school this morning; however, it seemed like things around me had changed a little after all.
