Simple Confession
Kanon looked over to her slightly sleepy friend as they placed their shoes into their respective lockers. Her best friend for as long as she could remember had been acting a bit off these past few days. The usually calm and collected club president of the calligraphy club would zone out more than usual and acted a bit more clumsy than usual with her. Plus there were times that she’d even act a little too distant. Kanon started to wonder if it was something she had done to cause the girl to act like this but nothing crossed her mind. Whatever it was she wondered if she could help her friend in anyway.
‘Riho-chan’s been acting so secretive with me lately…’“What’s the matter Kanon-chan?”
Feeling like she was being watched, Riho gave a lazy glance at her friend, causing the younger girl to flinch and almost drop her shoes. She quickly put them in her locker and gave a nervous smile.
“H-huh? What do you mean?”
“You looked like you wanted to say something…”
“It’s nothing!”
Kanon grabbed Riho’s hand, and instantly turned her back to the slightly confused girl. She then began to speed walk through the hallways, mumbling something along the lines of them to hurry to class before the bell rang. The younger girl internally kicked herself as the two began to walk up the stairs. Even though her and Riho had been friends for years, and at many times felt that the older girl was like a (younger) sister to her, she had a feeling of more than friendship. She wasn’t sure if she could call it love or not, but she sometimes wondered if it was along those lines.
Next to those feelings though, the younger girl truly admired Riho. Even though the girl was a total dork when it was just the two of them, in school she was almost the epitome of a perfect student. Next to her occasionally sleeping in class, the girl was a straight A student, and pretty popular.
‘It’s unfair sometimes….I wish my feelings wouldn’t show on my face so mush…’
After a quick hello from their classmates, the two quickly rushed to their desks and began to unload their bags. Kanon quickly unwrapped the plaid scarf she had around her neck and leaned over her desk as the school heater finally began to make her a bit hot.
“So Riho-chan, is there any love letters today~?”
The older girl shrugged as she looked in the desk in front of her and shook her head with a relieved look on her face. She then began to place her books and pencil case in as Kanon looked on. Being the popular girl that she was, it was kind of relaxing to see that there weren’t any letters today, though that didn’t mean that someone would probably ask during lunch or even after school. Speaking of confessions…there was one Riho didn’t tell her about.
“Nee, I heard you turned down a confession the otherday…”
Riho froze for a moment.
“Oh...yeah I did…”
“How come you didn’t tell me?”
“I…kinda forgot…”
“Ah, well I heard it was cus you told them you had a crush of your own…is that true?”
“….I just said that for an excuse of the rejection.”
“Hmm…”
Kaonon looked on, feeling that weird distant feeling again, before shaking it off and giving her friend a slight frown.
“You never really talk to me much about these things… so I just wanted to know…”
“Well what about you?”
“Eh?”
She sat up as Riho stood up and leaned against her desk.
“Do you have anyone that you like? Like that handsome sempai that’s in the school committee with you?”
“E-eh!? You mean Ikuta Sempai?! No way! Don’t forget I’m not as popular as you Riho-chan.”
Riho smirked as she placed her hands on her hips and leaned forward to a now slightly blushing Kanon. It was true that in their 1st year the younger girl did have a slight crush on their upperclassman, but as soon as she got to know the popular ikemen of a girl, that feeling of love quickly faded to just plain friendship.
“Ah, I’m sure you just don’t notice it.”
“I’m telling you! There’s no way I like Eripon-san like that!”
“Eripon-san?”
“She demands I call her that, she doesn’t like us calling her Ikuta-san for some reason…Any way we’re getting way off topic! This isnt about me, this I about
you!”
Kanon sat up and came face to face with her friend who quickly looked away from her eyes.
“Is there really no one?”
“…There isnt…”
“But your blushing! So there is someone!”
“T-that’s cus your too close to me…”
Just as Kanon was ready to probe her friend some more, their teacher came into the classroom and began class. As they did their stand, bow and sit down procedure, Kanon whispered to Riho, trying to get just who it was the girl liked.
“Who is it?”
“Nobody.”
“Fine then, I’ll just guess till I get it right!”Riho was about to reply when the teacher called them out and told them to hurry up and sit down. Throughout the rest of the day, Kanon wondered long and hard who it could be. Since she was Riho’s closest friend, the person she guessed would most likely have to be someone they knew. She guessed their sempai friend Mizuki-chan in P.E., their underclassman friend Haruka in Chemistry class, and even guessed Sakura-chan in Caligraphy class, but each was shot down with no luck. Eventually school was over and the two girls were alone in the classroom, finishing up an assignment.
“ Kanon-chan, did you finish writing up the class journal?”
“Almost, why? Did you want to go somewhere?”
“Yeah…The school store…”
As Riho stood up to stretch, Kanon instantly gasped and dropped her pencil, to look up at her friend.
“THE OLD MAN AT THE STORE?!”
Riho gave her a slightly discusted look as she brough her hand to her chest to calm herself down.
“You’re still doing that?! And no! Just give up already, jeez!”
“I guess I will…”
Kanon sighed as she picked up her pencil and began to write again as Riho wrapped her scarf around her neck. The two stayed quiet for a few more minutes as Kanon finished the last sentence and closed the book. She leaned back in her chair and let out another sigh as she got up and began to pack up her stuff.
“Well anyway, I was just curious Riho-chan…I just wanted to help you if you were troubled about it, but if you’re fine then it’s ok. Let’s go home~!”
The younger girl wrapped her own scarf around her neck and held Riho’s hand. Just as she was about to open the door, she stopped when she suddenly felt Riho squeeze her hand. She looked at their hands and then at her friend who was now looking away from her with a slight blush on her face.
“Riho-chan, what’s wrong?”
“Jeez, since you were so persistent all day today I’ll tell you…. But only once so listen good ok?”
Kanon eagerly nodded as she fully faced her friend all ears to who this person could be.
“The one…the one I like…it’s…”
Before Riho could finish her sentence, the door suddenly slid open, making the both of them jump and let go of their hands.
“Ah! Here you’re still here Kanon-chan!”
“E-eh?! Oh! Eripon-san!”
“I have a message for you!”
As Eripon began telling her message, Kanon turned all the way to her sempai. She was listening intently to what was being said until she felt a sudden warm hand intertwine with her free hand. She took a quick glance down to see Riho’s grip tighten, and felt a shiver run through her. Before she knew it, Eripon looked down from her paper to make sure the younger girl was listening.
“Did you get all of that Kanon-chan?”
“Huh!? Uh… Y-yeah!”
Eripon gave her a wary glance before looking at Riho and then their hands.
“Alright then…I’ll be sure to leave it to you then…Make sure you two get home safe…”
She gave the two a wink causing Kanon to blush even more, before sliding the door closed. It took Kanon a few minutes to calm herself back down before she realized she didn’t hear a word that her sempai had said. She knew that she’d have to ask her again at the meeting tomorrow, but that wasn’t important at the moment.
She looked back down at their still clasped hands and then to her friends still blushing face.
“Riho-chan…Is it…me?”
Riho quickly looked away from her and let go of the younger girls hand to bring her own up to her scarf.
“Let’s go to the school store before it closes already…”
“O-Okay…”
‘So Riho-chan’s secret was me all along….’When the two were finally walking home, Kanon couldn’t help but look at her hands. Her heart was still racing from the sudden interaction as well. Riho sighed as she glanced over at her friend, still looking at her own two hands in amazement. She had to admit though; she was still not over the rush as well.
“Kanon-chan, you’re saying everything too loud…it’s embarrassing…”
“But still…How did I not notice??”
“It doesn’t matter now so just stop~”
Kanon looked over at her friend (now girlfriend) who was still blushing as well. This was defiantly going to take getting used to, not that she didn’t mind.
