Interlude 1
Of all the guys in the world... Why did it have to be him? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out why. There were all kinds of guys in that same middle school classroom. Takahara was good at any sport he tried. Tsukishima was really chill. Even outside of our classroom, there were some cute underclassmen and reliable upperclassmen. And honestly, even outside of guys, there were a lot of girls that were just as great. For example, Takinaka-senpai was a star in track and Midori-chan looked up to me.
But out of all these people, for some reason, it still had to be Kogure Kawanami. We only became friends by pure chance. Sure, he was funny, considerate, and sometimes a gentleman, but there were so many better options than him for me to fall for. But somehow, it was Kogure Kawanami.
I’m sure this plays right into the age-old question “Why do people fall in love?” It is a question with no answer, so instead of spending my time thinking about one, it would’ve been more productive to work a part-time job or something. Even so, I couldn’t stop 22thinking about Kogure Kawanami, no matter how pointless it was, no matter how silly it was—as if I had some lingering feelings for him. He occupied so much space in my head without even deserving it.
