First Interlude

“Nanase ranked first in the STEM track.”

“Obviously. She hasn’t dropped to second place a single time since we became second-years.”

Students crowded in front of the ranking list posted in the hallway, chatting noisily. It only listed the top fifty students. I’d placed below that, so it had nothing to do with me.

Even so, I was still impressed that one of my classmates had continuously maintained first place ever since we had chosen which track to take. Her name was Nanase Yuino. She had been my classmate in my first year too. We had barely talked, but she was close to my crush, Hoshimiya-san, so I remembered her.

She hadn’t ranked number one during our first year, but perhaps she had become more motivated in her studies when we’d entered our second. There was a twenty-point difference between her and second place. She was blowing the competition out of the water. The aura she exuded felt different from our first year too.

Our second year was almost over. Most students were in entrance exam preparation mode. However, no one else was as driven as Nanase.

According to the gossip I had overheard from a group of girls, Nanase was aiming for the prestigious University of Tokyo. No one from our school had ever been accepted into UTokyo before, so all our teachers were showing her full support. Though our school had high average scores within our prefecture, we were still far from the cream of the crop. The best high schools were surely full of students like Nanase. It was irrelevant for someone like me who was struggling to pass in Ryomei, though.

Rather than thinking about other people, I should study harder so I don’t fail any classes. I know that, but it’s hard to motivate myself.

I slipped by my chatting classmates and settled into my seat. I was glad I was next to the window. If I were in the middle of the classroom, I would’ve been surrounded by popular kids, and that would’ve been hell. I glanced around the room.

Nanase was the only one with her textbook open, her mechanical pencil scribbling in her notebook. Her bored expression conveyed that she had nothing to do but study.

That one time we talked, she said she didn’t like STEM subjects. When she told me she couldn’t do the thing she liked anymore, the resignation in her eyes really left an impression on me. I wonder what happened. Not that I care. I’m sure she gave up on something important to her, and now she spends her time hitting the books hard.

I suddenly recalled that memory of a certain mundane, ordinary day.
