Be Honest

Arriving at our classroom in the middle of the lesson spared me from my classmates’ barrage of questions about what had happened earlier. They could only watch me take my seat after apologizing to Shio for coming in late.

Seeing how nonchalant I was, I found some of my girls giggling at their seats. And so, I stuck to what I planned earlier, greeting and thanking them for the help they rendered to diffuse the situation.

But because we were in the middle of our class, Shio had to fake a cough and call me out to interrupt me from openly flirting with them.

Then, there was Satsuki who sarcastically grumbled at my side, “Heh. What a model student. Coming to the classroom at his own leisure. What’s next?”

Well, knowing the girl, I instantly knew that she just wanted to get my attention. I mean, because of her club, she was absent during that earlier commotion. Naturally, I was as happy to see her here more than anything.
