Y3V2: Shiina Hiyori’s SS - A Wavering Heart

Returning to my dorm room, I sat on the edge of my bed as to rest my body.

In my hand was a single poppy flower.

Simply by gazing at it, I couldn't help but feel my heart being fulfilled.

I simultaneously recall the sight of Ayanokouji-kun who’d come to see me in the library.

How it happened immediately after I had resolved to convince myself that I had come to hate him.

How he told me he wanted to see me again tomorrow.

My resolve to break away from him had already flown away somewhere.

“It’s frightening to feel so fulfilled…”

A day that had threw my heart into turmoil, yet one that turned into something truly wonderful.

Even I am deeply shocked myself. That such a large and powerful emotion had been hiding within me.

I understand it now.

That I see Ayanokouji-kun as a man, as a member of the opposite sex, and have fallen in love with him.

***

Spinning the flower gently, I let out a small sigh.

"It's okay, right......? To keep on loving him like this......"

I asked the poppy that would never answer me.

Ayanokouji-kun and Karuizawa-san have broken up.

So, I know that it's not wrong for me to love him.

But I don't have the courage to tell him how I feel, and above all else, we still remain in different classes.

As we continue to compete for Class A, these emotions surely won’t lead to anything good.

Can I really fight against Ayanokouji-kun's class while I'm still in love with him, I wonder……

"I..."

It’d be best if I cast aside such covetous thoughts and be content to remain as his precious friend.

Wanting anything more than that is wrong.

In the first place, there is no guarantee that Ayanokouji-kun even sees me that way

Remaining as we are right now.

Remaining like this.

Not too close, not too far.

It’d be a happier fate for my first love to end while it remains faint and fleeting, I think.

"Surely... that's the correct answer, right?"

I asked the poppy flower one last time.
