Chapter 555: Inner Feelings
It had been a long while since the two last met. Also, other than his manager Ayumi, Ishikawa was the only other girl with whom he had a close relationship.
So, it wasn't that much of a surprise when he thought of her immediately.
Thinking about her, Hiro couldn't help but frown, "I wonder how she's doing? Will she even agree if I ask her to meet now?"
Hiro sat there pondering.
He might blame his schedule for the lack of interaction with her but he couldn't run away from the fact that he didn't make an effort to make time for her.
If he wished to, he could have visited her.
But the reality was that he made no effort to meet her. Perhaps, he had been so obsessed with football that he subconsciously regarded such interpersonal relationships as irrelevant.
However, now that he thought about it, he felt guilty about it.
At this juncture, Hiro had two options before him- either he could run away from it or he could take action to right the wrong.
In such a scenario, most people subconsciously lean on the former option. As for the reason why they lean on the former, it probably has something to do with human nature that prevents us from stepping out of our comfort zone.
Hiro felt complicated inside as he thought about the relationship he had with Ishikawa. It was he who had approached her first and it was also him who had ghosted her.
Although Ishikawa never complained about it he couldn't turn a blind eye to it and approach her as if everything was normal.
'Did I lose affection for her? If not then why didn't I make an effort to win her?'
Hiro pondered if he had lost feelings for her.
'But then why do I think of her? Is it to comfort myself for the wounds I have inflicted on her?'
Different thoughts flashed past his mind as he thought deeply about the matter. Even though he thought and thought about it, he couldn't reach an answer.
The more he thought about it the more he felt confused.
For a while, Sumire just stood there without uttering a word. It was almost as if something in her phone had stunned her.
Her expression darkened as she looked at Sumire. She feared that something must have happened to her.
Then Sumire slowly turned to look at her.
With an apologetic tone, she said, "Forgive me Kaori, I won't be able to accompany you today."
"It's alright. But did something happen?" Kaori, the girl with the ponytail asked concernedly. A light blush appeared on Sumire's cheeks as she said in a low tone, "Hiro wants to meet." Kaori was one of her closest friends in the school. So, she naturally knew about her affection for Hiro. So, when she heard that she was going to meet Hiro, a bright smile formed on her face.
An overwhelming feeling of joy washed over her as she said excitedly, "You're going to meet Hi-"
But before she could finish her sentence, Sumire covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking. They weren't alone in the classroom and she was speaking way too loud.
To prevent others from finding, Sumire had to shut her mouth.
Fortunately, she was quick to react. Otherwise, Kaori would have announced it to everyone and who knows how many of them would rush to her.
As expected many turned to look at them.
Kaori realized that she was being way too loud due to her excitement. So, she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Sumire. I didn't mean to."
"I know, you didn't mean to. But let's keep this between us, okay?" Sumire said in a gentle
tone.
Kaori nodded her head as she whispered, "I won't tell anyone."
With lightning-fast speed, Sumire packed her bag. Then she bid her friend goodbye in a rush,
"Then I'll be off."
"Best of luck!"
Kaori winked at her as she wished her luck.
