I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in My Class (WN)

Since my mom forced me back to my room, I’ve been sitting on my bed, doing nothing.

“I didn’t expect that Asanagi would ever sleep in my room.”

While a pair of friends hanging out all night wasn’t a strange occurrence, that only applied if both of them were of the same gender.

In the case of different genders, even if they were lovers, people would still frown upon the thought of two high schoolers doing so.

My door was shut, so I couldn’t see what my mom and Asanagi were up to. I also wore my headphones and listened to music, so I wouldn’t be able to eavesdrop on their conversation. I did keep track of the time though, so they probably finished bathing by now.

I also wanted to take a bath, but mom told me not to. She said something about ‘Umi-chan’s bathwater’ or something, as if I cared about that. If she was concerned that I’ll get strange ideas from Asanagi’s bathwater, then why not just drain it? I don’t understand.

Anyway, the song I was listening to was from a rock band I had been listening to lately. They went viral because they sang the opening theme for a certain anime, but nowadays they were better known for singing the theme song of a popular TV Drama.

“Stars in the sky, the cold night streets, shoulder to shoulder with you… The starry sky I saw back then had already gone…”

I hummed a certain song that was currently trending. Probably because it was the theme song of a popular TV Drama, the song stood out even though the genre of the song itself was quite a cliche. Or maybe the meaning of the song was just that good? Who knows? I’m not exactly an expert on love songs or anything…
