I Was Confessed To By A Woman I Didn’t Know, And I Said Yes
On the first day of school after the 1 Golden Week – Golden Week or ‘ĹŚgon ShĹ«kan’ is a week from 29 April to early May containing multiple Japanese holidays. It is also known as ‘ĹŚgata RenkyĹ«.’Golden Week, I sat down in my usual seat in the classroom, took my textbooks out of my bag, and noticed a letter on my desk.
As I tucked it into my pocket so no one would notice, I scurried around the classroom to see if it was someone’s prank.
It was quite an unnatural movement, but no one seemed to say anything about it, so I decided to calm down and go to the bathroom or something.
However, at times like this, there were people who interfered with me, so I couldn’t rest easy.
He was talking to me.
“Hey, did you go anywhere during your vacation?”
“I just went to visit relatives.”
“Oh, I went to Hawaii.”

Now that the homeroom teacher had returned to the staff room, I would go to the bathroom and check the contents of the letter.
If it was someone’s prank, I might have to take the whole day off tomorrow, but it was a rather cute envelope, so I was a little hopeful.
“Huh? Where are you going?”
“To the bathroom.”
“Well, don’t be late for the school assembly.”
“I won’t take too long.”
Tanaka was concerned about my behaviour, but the good thing was that he didn’t try to get involved more than necessary.
There was a guy in elementary school who imitated me in everything, but compared to him, I think I’m a much easier person to get along with.
I would have to quickly go to the bathroom and check the letter.
The rest of the class seemed to still be having homeroom, and no one was out in the hallways, so I was thankful that no one was in the bathroom.
Somehow, I entered the back private room and gently took the letter out of my pocket to check it carefully.
The envelope was addressed to me, so I was sure it was in my name, but the sender’s name was not written on the envelope.
I slowly peeled off the cute character sticker on the back and opened the seal, and the letter that came out from inside also had cute characters on it.
I took it in my hand and checked the contents, and if it wasn’t a prank, I would have no problem saying it was a love letter.
“But you should at least write down the name of the sender. Who the hell would give me a letter like this?”
I couldn’t help but notice that the sender’s name was not actually written anywhere on the letter.
The only person who was in the classroom before me was Tanaka, so it couldn’t have been a girl in my class, but I wouldn’t forgive him if he made someone else write it.
I put the letter away and put it in my pocket, but it would be a problem to leave it in my pocket for the school assembly.
I was sure there will be an inspection of my belongings, so when I get back to the classroom, I would tuck in the handout I was given earlier and put it in my bag.
The principal’s talk at the school assembly was much longer than the homeroom teacher’s, and when I was getting a little bored, I looked around and made eye contact with a girl from the next class.
It was a little awkward because the other person immediately looked away, but I was happy to make eye contact with a rather pretty girl.
“Hey, are you going straight home today?”
“No, I’m just going to stop by the library and then I’ll be back.”
“Do you like books, Maeda?”
“There’s a book my sister’s looking for, not me.”
“I see. Maeda is a nice guy.”
I lied about my sister looking for the book, but it was hard to go see the sender of the letter if Tanaka was with me.
I almost felt a little guilty, but Tanaka was the type of person who didn’t seem to mind that kind of thing, so I decided not to worry about it.
I grabbed my bag and was getting ready to leave, but I was having a hard time finding the meeting place written in the letter.
I thought that if I went to the library, they would have maps of the area, but they didn’t have what I was looking for.
I asked a member of the library committee and he gave me a piece of paper with the map of the area printed on it, which I thought was good service.
With a map in hand, I searched for my destination, which seemed to be a park in the opposite direction of my route to school, and sat down on the designated bench to look at the sky.
It wasn’t a clear day, but it was definitely a nice day, and the moderate cloud cover provided a nice shade to make it comfortable.
“Good. Thank you for coming.”
I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw the girl I had made eye contact with at the school assembly standing there.
We only saw eye to eye for a moment, but I thought she was a lovely girl even in this way.
“Are you the girl who gave me the letter?”
“Yes. I’m glad you read it.”
“Was it supposed to be a love letter?”
“Yes, I fell in love with you at first sight when I saw you a little while after I started school.”
“I’m glad to hear it, but can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“Why didn’t you write the sender’s name on this letter?”
When I asked her about it, her face turned red and she covered her face with her hands. I had never seen anyone react like this before, so I was a little happy.
“I’m sorry, I was so preoccupied with writing Maeda-kun’s name carefully and the contents of the letter that I forgot to write my name.”
“It’s okay if you forgot, but if you don’t write it down, I’ll think it’s a prank.”
“Oh no, I would never play a prank on Maeda-kun.”
“No, I don’t know you at all, so what am I supposed to do?”
“Then go out with me so you can get to know me better.”
Maybe this girl was cute but a little troublesome.
I thought and looked at her, but I was so happy that she liked me that I almost smiled a little.
Okay, I think I’ll go out with this girl. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just break up with her.
“Okay, we don’t know what the other is like, but let’s go out.”
“Really? I’d love to!”
Then this kid covered her face with her hands again.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
“Oh, me? My name is Misaki. I’m Misaki Sato.”
“I see. It’s nice to meet you. Sato-san.”
“Huh? Misaki is fine.”
“Misaki, then.”
“You’re being a stranger now. I would like to call you Ma-kun.”
She’s giving me nicknames and calling me whatever she wants, should I not be concerned about this?
I wasn’t sure, but I hoped it would be fun from now on.
