Nene POV:
I am not joking when I say he is gorgeous.
I know I say that a lot, but believe me this time.
He was with some other boys, holding a lunch tray and heading towards my table. As I stared at him, somehow I must have caught his eye because we locked eyes for a second before I hurridedly looked away.
He had soft, wavy auburn-red hair with few strands framing his angular face. His eyes were a sparkling apple green- the perfect contrast to his hair. He was so, so handsome, standing out from the other boys by a mile.
I stared down at my tray and tried to shovel food into my mouth, doing my best not to look at him. I was sure my face was strawberry red.
"Excuse me!" the boy's voice was suddenly right behind me. I bit back a gasp. "Mind if I squeeze in here?"
I almost pinched Marlee in the elbow when I realised she was looking up and smiling. "Oh, hey, Kai. 'Course." She scooched over, squishing me onto the wall, and Kai slid in between her and Chouka.
"Hey, Kaiii!" Chouka turned around, grinned, and hugged him. Hugged him.
"Hey, Chouka-chan." Kai smiled fondly and squeezed her back.
"Who is that?" I hissed to Marlee.
"Hmm? Oh, him?" Marlee ate a spoonful of fried rice, then turned to me. "That's Kai Koboyashi. He's a second-year and Chouka's boyfriend."
Chouka's boyfriend.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. HE'S TAKEN. I THINK I'LL DIG A HOLE RIGHT HERE AND DIE. CHOUKA DOESN'T DESERVE HIM!! AHHH AND HE'S A SECOND-YEAR! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PERFECT FOR ME. WHYYYY MY HORRIBLE LIFFEEEEE-
"Oh. I see." I turned quietly back to my lunch, holding in the screaming in my head.
"I doubt he'll last long." Marlee giggled. "Chouka's had at least ten boyfriends. Each of them goes after two months. Right now Kai's at one month. Chouka has, like, this wierd obsession with boys! And boys have a wierd obsession with her. And Hanae, of course. But Hanae dates long-term. Chouka's a total short-term!"
"What about the others?"
"Well, Aimi dates sometimes. She mainly dates the ones Chouka leaves behind- she's a total Chouka-follower. She probably wouldn't date if Chouka didn't. Hanae dates the good ones till she gets bored of them. Mayumi has had a few boyfriends, but they always break up with her because she refuses to get as far as kissing- she has some kind of religious problem with it, I think, and the boys don't like that. Ume has tons of fans, but she's too spacey and dense to date. Or even respond to those love letters she gets in her locker! As for me, I have a long-term boyfriend. But things are kind of more platonic than romantic."
"Wow. I didn't realise... well. Most of the boys here are taken, then?" I shot a wistful glance at Kai.
Marlee followed my line of sight and smiled. "Well, yes. Were you hoping to get someone here? You don't have anyone you left behind?"
Oh. Wait.
"Well, I do." I said hastily. I had almost forgotten! "We'd only just started dating, though."
"Is that why you're so eager to move on from him?"
"What?"
"Don't pretend." Marlee giggled. "I know you've got a fancy for Kai. So, you're one of those girls who... oh, this sounds bad, but... you cheat?"
"No! No way!" I gasped in horror. "Oh, no. I just... well, I guess I just forgot for a moment. I'm not like that! I won't make a move on Kai! Oh god, please don't think of me like that."
"Of course." Marlee said quickly. "I'm sorry. It's just, well, it's pretty common here."
"Common? To cheat?"
"Well... yes. You see, Chouka does it all the time." Marlee said thoughtfully. "I think the boys here have learnt to deal with it. I guess you could call the girls here... poly."
"Poly?!"
"Polyamory. Where you have multiple relationships with different people and it's totally cool with your partner or something. But obviously, the dating version."
"Wow." I shook my head, dazed. "I didn't know that was a thing. So the boys here.. they don't mind at all?"
"Mmm. Some of them overreact a little. Most of them have learnt to just go with it."
I blinked at Kai. Had he gotten used to it too? Did he just go with it?
Oh, I'd better stop looking at him or I'll become poly like those girls too. Except without the consent part.
