Chapter 20: Amami-san, Asanagi, and I
The event in the morning where Amami-san blurted out that I knew her phone number quickly became the main topic of the day in our class.
After homeroom, during lunch and even now after school ended, curious glances, whispers, and slander that were hurled at me never stopped… Rather, I felt that as time passed, they got louder and louder.
To be clear, Amami-san and I never contacted each other over the phone before, save from the time when she made the one-ring call to confirm that I received her number back when we eavesdropped on Asanagi’s confession.
‘Psst, what kind of relationship do you think Amami-san and Maehara-kun have?’
‘Maybe they are dating?’
‘Hahaha, no way.’
‘Then, what happened last week?’
‘Who knows? A love affair?’
However, everyone didn’t know or care about such things. Because of that, they kept talking about it all day long, straying further and further from the truth while bringing up their own wet dreams about my relationship with Amami-san.
