Horikita Short Story: Horikita Suzune’s Prediction
The sound of a bird’s chirp from my phone slowly reached my ears.
It was time to wake up. I looked at the clock that was hanged on the wall while I was getting out of bed. I woke up as usual. The habit that the body had developed can’t be forgotten. This habit hasn’t changed since I entered this school.
With the exception of some special circumstances that made me go to bed late, I have always woken up at 6am.
After that, I slightly arranged my appearance and started preparing breakfast.
Although I don’t have much appetite, I’ve been eating three meals a day, as a result I’ve a balanced nutrition, to the extent of living a life of having a good diet.
After that, I left the room at 8 o’clock to go to school.
The sequence of actions up to this point has not changed since elementary school.
--Originally, it should’ve been like this.
The former me went to school alone, studied alone, ate lunch alone, returned home alone.
This is me –Horikita Suzune’s life, and at the same time, my nature.
The pitiful gazes that comes from the surroundings considering me as a solitary person are just meddlesome.
No, even an explanation such as meddlesome is wrong.
I can accomplish whatever I do.
Be it studies or sports, I have the confidence that I’m superior than my peers.
And more importantly, it’s impossible for me to trust other people.
At first, everybody displayed a good attitude in order to approach me, but they would immediately leave. So I naturally distanced myself from other people. As a result, I never perceived loneliness nor inconvenience.
That’s why this situation will inevitably continue. But recently, this has started to change.
Inside me, the tempo of my life has started to change quietly.
I feel that the time I spend being alone has been reducing.
I know what’s causing this.
It's because of the resident of my neighboring seat in the classroom.
I casted a glance at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-kun’s seat, who has not arrived at school yet.
I don’t know why, but no matter what attitude I adopt towards him, his attitude has never changed.
When we meet for the first time, it couldn’t be said that I gave him a good impression. I thought I would be quickly ignored.
When I came back to reality, I realized that the time where I talk to him has increased.
Why is that?
Why?
These questions rush to my mind in quick succession, I’m unable to understand this.
I’ve never considered Ayanokouji-kun as a friend, never.
Although I don’t know what he thinks, I only consider him as a person who sits beside me in the classroom by chance.
However, there is no doubt, my heart has some other ideas.
He has come to the classroom.
He looks like usual, slowly going to his seat while lacking enthusiasm.
During that moment, my classmate Kushida-san talked to Ayanokouji-kun.
“Thank you for the previous Sunday. You’ve really helped me.”
She was talking while having a big smile in her face and waving her hands. These are acrobatics I’m not able to do.
“Let’s go play again in the future.”
“Oh, oh”
Being treated familiarly, he answered her while looking as if he was thinking that wasn’t bad.
In other words, these two went somewhere on Sunday, didn’t they?
…Nothing to do with me.
