For Some Reason, My Ex-girlfriend, Who Lost Interest in Me, and My Current Girlfriend, Whom I’ve Kno

☆ Shizuku Natsukawa ☆

I don’t really understand the emotion of jealousy.

The meaning seems to be ‘to envy those who are better than you.’

I have never been the one to hold, but the one pointed at.

That’s why I didn’t know what to do with these feelings that were arising for the first time.

A sudden transfer student. Her true identity seems to be Shota Komori-kun’s childhood friend.

And she’s a beautiful girl, even from my point of view.

Her chestnut brown hair is softly wavy, and her neat face is meticulously dolled up with makeup. Furthermore, her style is outstanding.

She perfectly embodies men’s tastes. That’s how I felt.

As soon as Shota-kun and Takamine-san met again, they started talking about the past that I didn’t know about.

I’ve never seen him look so happy.

I hate that. I really hate that. I sincerely wish he wouldn’t make that face to anyone but me.

A feeling as cold as mud washed over me.

Ah… I see. So this is jealousy. It’s not a very hospitable type of emotion.

It has already taken over almost my entire being. If only she wasn’t here.

But my inner feelings were even wilder.

Today, we’re having our monthly seat change that coincides with Takamine-san’s transfer to the new school.

Up until now, I could never understand why students would make such a fuss over something as simple as a seat change.

But now I understand. I know now why they were so upset and what they were expecting.

It was probably a sign that they couldn’t stop themselves from wanting to be next to the person they wanted, or not wanting to be apart from them.

After all, I’m feeling exactly the same way.

This is because my seat is next to Shota-kun’s.

It’s heartbreaking to think that he’s going to leave me when just a few days ago, I only thought of it as a convenient way to show off our fake relationship.

And that’s not all. If Shota-kun and Takamine-san were to be seated next to each other…

I shook my head like a wet dog. Chasing away the nightmare, and biting my lip.

I think my eyes might have been moistening.

For the first time in my life, I’m asking God for help. I’m sorry for ever saying that it’s ridiculous to worship an imaginary being.

Please… Please let me sit next to Shota-kun again–!

And the result,

Yaa-Ya-Ya..Yattaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I was lucky enough to be seated next to Shota again.

I was so happy that I was about to jump up and down.

I wonder if Shota-kun is also happy with this result.

Curious, I pushed down my excitement and turned my gaze to him.

(EHHHHHHHH!!? I think Natsukawa-san is staring at me!? She really doesn’t like it, does she? Of course she doesn’t! She’s next to the person she finally ended her fake relationship with… Um, so the reason she’s staring at me is probably, ‘What the h**l are you doing just accepting this result? Do something to change the seats,’ right? Then–)

“Sensei! Mayu-nee–no. Takamine-san has bad eyesight, so how about having her switch places with Natsukawa-san?”

(Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Wa-Wa-Wa-Wait a minute, Shota-kun! Why!? I was just about to bite into the biggest piece of luck of my life!? Why are you trying to knock me out of heaven and into h**l!?)

“I guess you’re right. Considering Takamine’s feelings, it would be more convenient for her to be next to you. All right. Natsukawa, do it.”

No way! I’m going to kill you if you keep talking nonsense, Sensei.
