Sayuri and I made it back to the nurse’s office. Sayuri and I were left alone in the room when the nurse was finished disinfecting the wound and bandaging up my hand. Sayuri spoke, “Do you know Akira? How come I haven’t heard anything about it? What sort of relationship do you have with him?”
I desperately tried to correct her misunderstanding, “It’s nothing like that. I don’t really know him. I didn’t even know his name was Akira in the first place.” Sayuri sighed, “I’m a bit disappointed that you’d ask for his help when you have me. I’ve been your friend for much longer. Don’t tell me you’re going to ditch me for a guy. I thought we came to an agreement that we would never choose a guy over each other.”
I hastily responded to her, “It wasn’t like I was depending on him to help me out. I just didn’t want to bother you. I know you don’t like being around me in front of everybody. If people found out that we’re friends, I’m sure they would bother you. I won’t let them do anything to you. I’ll be careful in the future.”
Sayuri sighed, “You’re right. I don’t want to be caught spending time with you, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. If only I was stronger, I would stand up for you. I’m sorry I can’t do anything to help you. The least I could do is take you to the nurse’s office.”
I frantically reassured her, “It’s okay. You don’t have to do anything. I’m much stronger than you think. I don’t need you to take me to the nurse’s office in the future. If you keep getting caught helping me, Mikami and the others would also bully you. It’d be better if I went alone next time.”
Sayuri patted my head as if I was her little sister, “If anything happens to you, let me know. I’ll find out a way to help you. Don’t rely on other people in the future, especially Akira. I don’t like it when men get between us. I heard that Akira is a bad person. He likes to play around with girls. I don’t want you to become heartbroken.”
I agreed with her, “I really don’t know who he is. There’s no way he would have interest in someone like me. Don’t worry about it. If he’s a player, I don’t think I would like to be around him either. Thanks for letting me know what type of person he is. I probably would’ve fell for his tricks.”
Sayuri smiled, “That makes me happy. You always have a way to make me happy. Just keep in mind that he isn’t a good person.” I easily agreed to her request. I didn’t know if Akira was a player, but all I knew was that I felt thankful towards him. He helped me out when I was in a tough situation. I really didn’t want to get involved with men that reminded me of Sayuri’s ex-boyfriend.
Sayuri’s ex-boyfriend was named Takahashi, Hiroshi. Takahashi-san was known for being exceptionally friendly. He hardly had any enemies, and he also had a lot of fans. Most of the school considered him to be a school prince back in middle school. I also thought of him as a school prince. I grew to like Takahashi-san long before Sayuri got together with him.
He was ranked number one in school at all times and he had a handsome appearance that resembled a prince. Most girls were swayed by his looks. I also fell for him when I first met him. Unlike the rest of the boys, he was friendly to me. He offered to help me on many occasion. I was usually getting bullied by other classmates and he was the only one that stood up for me.
He was similar to Akira in many ways. I wondered if I was a magnet that attracted pity from handsome boys. Was I an existence that brought out their protective instincts? Maybe I seemed too pitiful in their eyes. I was always thankful towards Takahashi-san.
It was traumatizing to find out that Takahashi-san was disgusted with my one-sided crush towards him. It was humiliating to find out that the guy I liked didn’t truly care about me. I was nothing but a pitiful dog in his eyes. Guys like Takahashi like girls like Sayuri. It became obvious at a young age that I wasn’t pretty like the other girls.
In comparison to Sayuri, I was nothing but a country bumpkin with an ugly outdated appearance. Sayuri was the prettiest girl in school, and she had men fighting over each other to get her attention. I wonder what it would be like to live a day in Sayuri’s life. It would probably be different, wouldn’t it?
Sayuri always had men opening doors for her and gifting all sorts of miscellaneous things. She’d constantly open her locker to find love letters piled up and her day-to-day life was like walking on a flower road. Even our female classmates were trying to become her friend. It wouldn’t be surprising if Akira grew to like Sayuri.
Even Takahashi-san was unlucky when it came to Sayuri. Sayuri broke it off with him after dating him for only a year. I had no clue what the reason was for their breakup. I felt happy when they broke up, but it also made me sad to see Sayuri heartbroken the next day. Although she was the one that broke off the relationship, she still felt sad about breaking up.
It only made me feel happy because it was awkward for me when Takahashi-san was around. He was always hanging around Sayuri and I hardly had the chance to spend time with her when he was around. It felt nice knowing that I didn’t have to avoid her when he was around. After they broke up, Sayuri cut her hair short, but everyone still considered her to be a school beauty.
High school was no different. Many of our classmates consider her to be the school beauty. During the start of high school, she started to grow taller, and her figure resembled a model’s figure. On the other hand, I hardly grew since middle school. I was still short, and I still looked unattractive. My hair was always tied back, and my glasses took up most of my face.
I hardly had anything to look at in the chest area. I’d consider myself similar to a boy when it came to bra sizes. I don’t own a bra since my chest is small. In conclusion, I have no features that can attract anybody. I’m not too confident I’ll ever find myself a boyfriend. It be better if I didn’t find a boyfriend. All I really need is Sayuri in my life.
I’m sure there will be no chances that any guy would have an interest in me. It would be best to keep away from guys like Akira. There could only be trouble if involved with him. I’ll make sure to avoid him at all costs.
