After that brief chat, we walked in comfortable silence towards class. I noticed that many people were watching us, which was normal when I walked beside possibly the most beautiful and popular person in the first year. The looks varied between jealousy, envy, hatred, and curiosity. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but I ignored them and kept walking. When Ichinose and I were about to say goodbye to go to our respective classes, two people shouted behind us."Ikeshit: Bastard! Not only are you delaying the class, but now you're trying to betray us!" Ike yelled at me with hatred and reproach, which made no sense."Yamadead: Yeah, you're a useless guy who hasn't contributed anything to the class and now you want to leave and be useless somewhere else!" he said while laughing, making me think of Einstein's famous quote about human stupidity."I'm not betraying the class; I'm just walking with Ichinose, who is my friend," I replied, although I wondered if it was worth responding."Ikeshit: As if I would believe such nonsense! A shady and solitary guy like you could never be friends with someone like Ichinose-chan," Ike shouted again."Yamadead: Yeah, you're probably blackmailing her with something to make her talk and walk with you; otherwise, how would someone like her be interested in a useless guy like you?" Yamauchi said."Ichinose: Yamauchi-kun, Ike-kun, stop insulting Ayanokouji-kun for things he's not doing! And he's not useless like you say; He's much better than you. Besides, Ayanokouji-kun and I have been very good friends since the beginning of the year, so don't blaspheme him," Ichinose said with a tone that sounded quite angry.Both Ike and Yamauchi couldn't say anything in front of Ichinose; they just exclaimed "tch" and left angrily."Ichinose, thanks for defending me," I said. "They insulted you for things you haven't done and called you useless when you're anything but that.""It's okay, Ichinose; you don't have to get so angry for me," I said, although I can't deny the fact that I'm happy she defends me that way."But I can't let them say those things about someone I consider important to me," she said as her cheeks turned a cute shade of pink."As I said before, you don't have to worry about that. For now, we need to go to our respective classes since it's getting late," I said, trying to make my tone as gentle as possible."Okay, you're right. I don't want to be late," she replied.
