Minutes before class

When I entered our classroom, apart from my girls’ eyes focusing on me, I noticed some of our classmates also looking in my direction. They all had this amused smile on their lips as if they found something interesting.

Obviously, someone saw me with the Miura sisters and they started spreading gossip again. That’s what I gathered from their hushed mutterings.

Should I be bothered? Not really.

Wearing the same, inexpressive face, I simply focused my gaze on those few. They immediately closed their mouths and averted their eyes from me.

They’re not intimidated but guilty of talking behind my back. I didn’t need to explain myself to them anyway.

That’s why with that solved, I made my way to my seat, next to Aya.

After exchanging greetings with each other, we spent the time talking about Hana. She brought up her impression of the girl upon seeing her yesterday.
