Stretched Time
When I arrived at the changing room, the four who were with me earlier were changing as well and upon seeing me, Sakuma acted friendly and apologized. Perhaps he’s thinking that I got mad or hurt about what happened earlier. Moreover, he’s feeling guilt from riding what Fukuda was saying back there.
As I said, I might be annoyed but I didn’t really care about it. That’s why after nodding at him and accepting what he called an apology, I changed back to my uniform and left the room after making it awkward again.
The other three were also looking at me but… unlike Sakuma, none of them approached me. Naturally, I didn’t really have any intention to cater to their hurt egos.
Let it be a new rumor for all I care. At least, the highlight might only turn to me and the girls around me. That’s the best-case scenario.
With half of the 7th period used for resting ‘again’, the remaining half was spent with a short lesson from the last teacher.
