Volume 1 Chapter 1.2 - Shimizu-san and Art Class
Shimizu-san and Art Class 2
“When he is absorbed in something, he never listens to what people say…”
As I was thinking of heading to the art room after Toshiya was gone, I remembered something I had to do before that.
(Right. I have to wake up Shimizu-san.)
I looked at the seat next to me. But Shimizu-san, who was supposed to be there a moment ago, was already gone, and I was the only student left in the classroom. When did Shimizu-san leave the classroom? I looked at the clock to see that the class time was approaching, and hurriedly left the classroom.
When I arrived at the art room, there was only about a minute left before the class started. Toshiya, though it’s not intentional, seemed to end our love talk just in time. When I took my seat, the students were still buzzing, and even though I didn’t intend to listen to them, I could hear people talking around me.
“Shimizu-san really dyed her hair black.”
“Do you know why she dyed it?”
“I don’t know. I asked my friends and they all said they didn’t know either.”
It seems that Shimizu-san is the main topic of conversation. Students from other classes also take the class together because the art class is held jointly with two other classes. The news of Shimizu-san’s makeover, which has calmed down after a few days in our class, seems to be fresh news to the students in the other class.
（I wonder if Shimizu-san is okay?)
I sneak a look at Shimizu-san. According to the seating order in the art class, Shimizu-san’s seat is diagonally behind mine. Shimizu-san seems to know that people are talking about her, and she does not seem to be in a good mood. But I can’t ask her about it now because our seats are a little far from each other. While I was wondering what to do, the door opened and the art teacher came in.
