Chapter 20: Learning Magic (Part 2)
’H-how... how is this possible?’
Shirone stood frozen, her face twisted in shock. When Amy and her friend walked past, she quickly turned her head away.
’Please just walk by. Don’t notice me.’
There was no way this encounter would end well, so Shirone prayed desperately.
Fortunately, the two girls seemed uninterested and passed by without a second glance—or so Shirone thought. He was painfully unaware of how a girl’s peripheral vision worked.
Amy’s Friend:"Amy! Amy! Did you see that guy who just walked by? Is he a new student? He looks way too old for a freshman... maybe a transfer? Ugh, he’s totally my type."
Amy listened to her chatterbox friend but didn’t respond immediately. Like Shirone, she felt something strange.
Amy:"Weird. I know I’ve seen him before... but where?"
Friend: "Oh? Since when do you care about guys? You’ve never even glanced at one before."
Amy:"No, seriously. I have seen him somewhere."
Friend:"Liar. You’re being weirdly defensive. You like him, don’t you? Admit it!"
