This may be a subjective point for me... But I feel like Akari is very close to me.
Doesn't necessarily mean she spends all day only with me though, she has friends of course. She's popular in class because of her intelligence, so some classmates would come to her to ask for a short lecture.
But... Seems like they're only coming to Akari when they have a need, well it's not yet proven because of how small she spends her time with the other classmates...
I once happened to see her eating lunch together with the others, and to my surprise... She looked kind of different from what I used to see.
Oh by the way... I didn't stalk her, it's just a coincidence.
But even so, I have found one of those mates who really cares about Akari for who she is.
Sometimes when I'm not by Akari's side, I see her helping Akari out. Speaking of her... I don't remember her name though.
And speaking of the devil, the girl I just talked about is here...
"Hey, hey Yuna, let's eat together!"
"Ah, Yuuka, let's go!"
The red haired girl then helped Akari by pushing her wheelchair out of the class.
She has a friend who sees her for who she is. I'm glad, Akari.
Alright now... It's lunch break and I don't know what to do.
What's worse is that I ate too much breakfast so I'm not hungry at the moment.
Well... Let's seek peace and go to the library.
...
"Oh."
As I was walking through the hall, I bumped into her.
"Yuna asked me to invite you."
"R-Really?"
Why is Akari inviting me?
"Just come and hurry."
"Whoa!" She suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me with her. "W-Wait up."
"What is it?"
"This may be annoying for you but... I don't remember your name."
"Shimizu Yuuka. That's it? Then hurry up." She pulled me yet again.
Hold up... That's not what I saw about her before?! Where did that sweet and cheerful attitude go?!
What happened?!
"He-hey, let go of me, I can walk by myself." I pulled my hand back, trying to free my hand.
"If that's so then hurry up."
"Okay..."
I've got a lot of questions in my mind, but I guess it's no use to ask her now.
After following her for a while, I arrived at the school garden.
School garden? Never i thought they would be having lunch here. I thought they're going to eat at the cafeteria or other place...
"Yuuka! Over here!" Akari called to her as she waved her hands.
"We're coming!" Shimizu also waved back.
What's with that attitude difference...
Nevermind, if Akari is comfortable with her, then it's no problem for me.
"Homura, you didn't bring your lunch with you?"
"About that... No, I'm also not hungry."
"Oh... That's rare."
"Well... Actually, I eat too much breakfast."
"So it's like that." Akari chuckled.
Mmm... I'm allowed to sit, am I not?
Oh right, before I forget.
"By the way, why did you call me here, Akari?"
Akari shook her head. "Nothing, I think the more people the better it would be."
"Ah..."
Even though she said that... I don't think I can get along with Shimizu...
Akari starts chatting with Shimizu, while I only sit and look around awkwardly.
I don't have any more business here... I can go right?
"Homura, where are you going?"
Akari asked me as I got up from the bench.
"Ah... I wanna go buy some drinks at the vending machine."
"Oh, don't go too long, okay?"
"Gotcha."
Finally I'm free from that situation...
Might as well thank my throat from being thirsty.
I rushed back to the building to go to the vending machine.
Find you. What should I buy...?
"Hey."
I think I know whose voice is this...
"Ah, Shimizu, is there something?"
When I turned, I saw Shimizu standing not far from me, crossing her hands.
"I just wanna ask. You didn't have any HIDDEN motives do you?"
"Hidden motives?"
"You keep approaching her and that's suspicious."
"Suspicious?"
"Stop asking back and answer my questions already!"
"There's no way! How could I answer if I don't get what you mean?"
She's making me feel sick...
"What is your REASON to keep approaching her?"
"Reason? I don't have any, I just come to help her, that's it. And let me tell you that I never have HIDDEN motives."
"Hmph, such an untrustworthy word."
"What?! Aside from that, who ARE you?"
"I'm her best friend, and let me tell you, we've been best friends since elementary school."
"Oh..."
So it's like that.
No wonder she suspects me and treats me harshly.
"So let me be frank since you're stupid. I want you to stay away from her!"
And after that she left me just like that.
What's her reason to keep me away from Akari?!
She really is making me sick...
And on top of that, DO I look like a person who faked my niceness and helped a girl with HIDDEN motives?!
If she's talking about my appearance, I can deal with that...
Geez, my head is hurting because of my raised tone...
Ah, I almost forgot I came all the way here to buy a drink.
Mmm... What to buy...
Huff... She made me lose my mood. Better buy a water bottle to calm myself down.
And... How do I deal with her "order"? Should I listen to her…?
