After a fake confession, a top-class beauty at school who is my female friend and my childhood friend both started aggre

The protagonist, Kazuki Asamoto, is an ordinary, gloomy second-year high school student with nothing special about him. One day after school, as usual, he opened his shoe locker at the school entrance and found a piece of paper inside. Written on it in round, girlish handwriting were the words: “I want to tell you how I feel, so please come behind the gym.” Believing it was a love confession from a girl, Kazuki’s excitement skyrocketed, and he hurried to the deserted area behind the gym. There, he found a beautiful girl who ranked high in the class hierarchy and was very popular among her classmates. Kazuki assumed she was the one who had called him out and waited nervously and eagerly for her confession, his heart pounding wildly. She did confess. Without hesitation, Kazuki accepted her feelings. However, the moment he replied, Katayama—an attractive boy who was also popular in their class—appeared, laughing loudly as he revealed that the confession had been a prank. Kazuki was confronted with this shocking truth and was deeply hurt. The next day, as he spent his time at school in a gloomy mood, during a break, Haya Masumoto appeared before him—one of the most beautiful girls in the grade and also Kazuki’s close friend.
