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

T/N: Here's the start of the extra chapters!

Thanks to Takizawa-kun actively denying the rumors about us, we managed to get through the next day’s rehearsal without hearing anything that could make us feel uncomfortable. We also managed to spend our days relatively peacefully, at least compared to the first few days when the rumors first started.

Of course, we still went to the student council room for lunch. I could still hear some people speaking badly about me whenever I was alone, but the number was too few to be concerned about, so I just ignored it.

The rehearsal day passed by peacefully and then came the next day.

It was finally the day of the sports festival.

As usual, I saw my mom off to work, drank a cup of cold tea and sat down for a while. It was still early in the morning and I had a couple of hours to spare before I needed to leave for school. But ever since I woke up, I had been feeling restless, so I decided to get ready early.

[Umi: Maki, we’ll get our lunch from mine and Yuu’s place for today.]

[Maki: Got it. By the way, I’ve already changed, so you can come over whenever. We’re all going together today, right?]

[Umi: Yes, but Seki’s house is in the opposite direction, so he’ll meet us halfway. Only Nina and Yuu will be with me.]
