[ POV Matsuda Menhara ]
"OK, class... So, the results have been out. You guys must have seen the results on the board. The highest score is Katsuki-kun's as always. You shall pay attention in the class. Learn from Katsuki-kun. So, now I'm going to solve the questions answer and you guys check whether you wrote them right. So, first question is... " Our homeroom teacher began his lecture.
Katsuki... Ryuu.
*in Japanese the surname will come first before name
He's always the topper. He's popular as well. He's good at academics and his an athlete as well.
He has everything that a girl would ask for a boyfriend and a mother from her son.
I'm just an average. I wish if I could be like him. He's always with his friends around who are popular as him. Girls are also after Katsuki.
I just wonder... If I could ever be like him.
No. I must have lost my mind. What am I even thinking? I shall better pay attention to the teachers in class rather than thinking about others gossips.

School has finally ended. Everyone is leaving, but Katsuki was nowhere to be found.
Anyway, lately I've been always thinking about him. I mean... Like how popular he is... a bunch of students would be thinking about him, no?
I opened the locker of my shoes and for my surprise there was a letter. I was amused. Because, I never received any letters. Is it from a girl? Who? Is she from my class?
Wait... This can be a prank. Right. I've been pranked a lot of times because I don't have a girlfriend.
Yet, I still ended up waiting for that person in the classroom.
They said they'll meet me at the classroom.
It's already getting late... I wonder if it's really a prank. That would be embarrassing.
After taking a big sigh. I decided to leave since no one came. As I slide the door... I got astonished. I looked at that person... Katsuki Ryuu. Why was he even here though?
Maybe he also got a letter from another girl since he's so popular.
"Oh, my bad... I'll stay aside-- "
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, Matsuda-Kun that I came late! It's just that a lot of girls were asking me questions, so I couldn't come early." He stated as he panted still.
"Wait... A minute. Hold on... What do you mean?" I questioned in unbelief. Katsuki Ryuu. Our school's topper and popular guy ever is talking to me.
"Oh! My bad... I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Katsuki Ryuu. And, also that person who sent you that letter. Did you receive it? Might have as you're here waiting for me-- "
"Wait! So... You're that person who put that letter on my shoes locker? Why?"
"Well, Matsuda-Kun... I like you. In romantic. I wanted to confess my feelings for you, that's why I-- "
"Hold on! What?! WHAAAAAT??? I- I'm a guy... Katsuki... "
"-kun." I added.
"That doesn't bother me. I like you and that's enough I assume." A smile appeared on Katsuki's face.
"Hey, wait... Are you serious? I mean... Look closely, I'm a guy. You can't fuck a guy... "
"I can. I can if it's Matsuda-Kun."
What the fuck is this guy out of his mind?!
"I think we might have a misunderstanding... I've never talked to you or have we seen each other that often. So, how come Katsuki-kun likes me?"
"We've talked once. On a rainy day, you also landed me your umbrella and walked away in the rain."
"That isn't enough for you to like me! You shall have a reason behind liking me."
"I thought Matsuda-Kun recalled me... I'm... Katsuki Ryuu, Matsuda-Kun. That boy you once helped who was drowning in a river. You saved me and promised me that you'll protect me in the future as well... You forgot?"
"Ryu... I mean Katsuki-kun... So, that kid girl was you!"
"Girl?"
I laughed, "I thought you were a girl. I didn't know you were a boy. HAHA, you had long hair that time and you were cuter back then. Because, I thought you were a girl at that time HA-- "
"Aren't I cute now?"
"Huh... ? Cute?"
Oh, shit! Did I hurt his feelings by recalling him as a girl back then?
"I mean... Come on. You're a man now. So, how can you be cute? No guys can be cute-- "
"Of course, there's a guy who is cute! That's Matsuda-Kun!"
"... Uhh... Oh! Right, I have to go home now. It's getting late. We'll talk tomorrow, Katsuki-kun. So, bye... "
"... At least give me an answer before leaving."
"Oh... That. I'm... Sorry, Katsuki-kun. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings and sorry if I've mislead your feelings for me... But, I've never... ever saw you in that way so... Um."
"I see... I'm sorry, I wasted your time here by stopping you here... I'm really sorry, Matsuda-Kun... "
"Oh, then... I'll be leaving first."
I didn't know how to response at a such a situation. I've never encountered any, what do you expect from me?
I quickly left the classroom, wore my shoes and left the school.
