I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in My Class (WN)

ssible, would you come to the Christmas party with me?…’

‘I’m sorry… I’ve promised to go to the party with my friends… Besides, I already have someone I like…”

 

Obviously he’d get rejected, but I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him.

 

No one knew this except for Umi and I, but at the moment, Amami-san was focusing on repairing her relationship with Umi.
She simply didn’t have the time to get closer to other people, let alone someone from the opposite gender.

 

Amami-san would prioritize her best friend, Umi over everyone else, including me.
If he really wanted to have a relationship with her, the best thing he could do was to wait.

 

She said she had someone that she liked? Who?

 

I’ve heard her talk about male idols quite often, but I don’t really think those count.

 

If I were to name someone that she truly likes… Umi?

 

“It’s about time, lovebirds, get ready.
Or do you want to wait a little more?”

“Alright, let’s go.
Maehara, follow me.”

“Eh? Sure…”

 

Ignoring Nitta-san’s comment, all three of us went up to Amami-san’s side, pretending that it was by chance that we bumped into them.

“Yuu, what are you doing here? Have you eaten yet? If not, you wanna join us?”

“Umi! Ah, yes, our business here is pretty much done anyway.”

 

Amami-san saw us and came to our side with her iconic smile on her face.

 

‘Thank you, Umi.
You too, Ninacchi, Maki-kun.’

 

We quickly left the place.
The upperclassman who was left behind looked uncomfortable.

 

We decided to eat our lunch on a bench in the courtyard.

 

As soon as we sat down, Amami-san’s previously stiff face relaxed.

 

“Fuuh… What a relief…”

“Good work, Amami-san.
That was quite the ordeal, wasn’t it?”

“Not really.
It’s troublesome to deal with it, but I’m used to it by now.”

 

According to Amami-san, she’d actually been called out like this several times since the cultural festival preparation.

 

At that time, it was mainly Nitta-san who would interfere instead of Umi since the latter was busy with the committee matters.

 

Nitta-san tended to slack off back when we were working on our festival project, but behind the scenes, she was doing her best to support her friends.

 

I guess I could understand why Amami-san and Umi kept her around as a friend.

 

There were many things you couldn’t understand just by looking at them from the corner of the class.

 

“Oh, by the way, Umi, you said you have something to talk about after school.
What is it? Is it a bad time to say it now?”

“Not really, but Nina is around, so…”

“Eh? Why are you leaving me out now? Rep, why is she being mean to me?”

“Uh… sorry about that, Nitta-san…”

 

My impression of her had changed, but could I really trust her?

 

“It’s fine~, just pretend that Ninacchi doesn’t exist for now~ So, what is it?”

“Uhh… You see…”

 

While keeping a close eye on a certain someone, Umi talked about her plan after the Christmas party was over.

 

“At Maki-kun’s house? Sure, that sounds fun! If you two are okay with it, I’m down!”

 

Amami-san immediately agreed.

 

Well, I’ve been troubling her lately, so I guess I’d have to do my best for her during that day.

 

“Eh? The two cutest girls in our class will hang out at Rep’s house for Christmas… Damn, that sounds so interesting… But…”

“Huh? That’s rare.
You aren’t forcing yourself to join us?”

“…I got a date with my boyfriend on that day…”

“““Huh?”””

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you guys? Someone confessed to me at the cultural festival.”

 

Umi and Amami-san shook their heads.
Since they didn’t know, I obviously didn’t know either.

 

I’m not surprised since Nitta-san was pretty cute herself. 

 

We spent the rest of our lunch break listening to her brag about her boyfriend.

 

My excitement was through the roof now that my Christmas plans were set.

 

But of course, more trouble would come around to bite me after school.
