Spring is coming now : Spring

Episode 13: Bad Luck (2)

The next morning
I woke up early, went to the convenience store, bought a strawberry jelly, and ran to school. My usual routine was playing games until dawn, then sleeping for about four hours before being late, so my body just couldn't handle it.
I fell asleep as soon as I got to class.

"Ah... I need to give you some jelly..."

My partner even asked me if I was okay, as I was almost half dead. I didn't respond and just fell asleep as if I had fainted.

"Tiring, ringing, ringing~"
The bell rang. I woke up with a jolt, my head a mess, and my mind still awake, looking at the clock.

12:20.

 [Ah... I'm screwed.]

How could no one wake me up? Honestly, I thought it was normal to wake up a sleeping child during class...
I always stayed up late and slept at school, so the teachers and kids all thought the same.
 
It was in front of Class 7, Grade 2. I peeked inside the classroom through the window. The only people in the classroom were either studying or sleeping. I looked closer, wondering if anyone was really there.

[Ha... Did you go out to eat?]

At that time, a kid who seemed to be the class president of class 7 spoke to me.

"Who are you looking for? Why are you peeking into other people's classrooms like a thief?"

I was embarrassed and said no, and went down to the cafeteria. A thief? Honestly, I think I would have thought so too.

[....Huh? That short hair..!!]

Seeing a familiar back, I ran back and grabbed his wrist. But the boy who turned around and looked at me wasn't the same boy from yesterday. I apologized and finally gave up.

[Yeah... what should I do after finding it...]

At this moment, the familiar cherry scent came again. Where is it...? Where is it...? I looked around for a while, but the child was nowhere to be seen.

"I guess I should eat the jelly..."

 
The first love of his life ended in vain.
