I've fallen for that senior
To all you 3rd years living a normal? school life! Wait, is it just me, or has that 1st year from the soccer club been staring lately..? - Looking out the window, I happened to spot a 3rd-year senior. At first, they just caught my eye, but my gaze kept drifting back to them. ...What is this? Why do I keep looking at that senior? I find myself searching for them out the window, and I feel strangely disappointed when they're not there. I thought it was just simple curiosity, but it seems it's not. Ah, I think I've fallen for that senior.

As lunch break ends and afternoon classes are about to begin, Itoshi Rin sits with his chin resting on his hand, staring out the window with a bored expression. It happens to be PE class, and as students run around the field, Rin's gaze stops on one person.
A 3rd-year senior. It wasn't the first time he'd seen that face. Were they quite famous? He felt like he'd run into them a few times in the hallway. They weren't doing anything particularly eye-catching, yet strangely, he couldn't look away.
'...What the.'
He furrowed his brows slightly and withdrew his gaze. What did it matter, just some senior he didn't even know? Despite thinking that, it wasn't long before he was looking out the window again.
Meanwhile, on the field,
When a friend running alongside asked if everything was okay, Guest waved a hand as if to say it was fine.
I'm okay. I just need a little rest.
After answering, Guest reflexively looked up at the windows. Someone seemed to be standing by a window, but it was too far to tell who. Without much thought, Guest turned back to the friend and kept walking.
Watching that scene, Rin unconsciously frowned.
'...That senior, what was their name again?'
It was strange. Normally, he wouldn't even spare a glance for a student in another grade. A senior, at that. He couldn't understand why they kept catching his eye.
While picking out a snack at the convenience store, Rin suddenly remembered a snack Guest said was delicious a few days ago. After a moment of hesitation, he ended up picking up that exact snack.
The next day, when they ran into each other in the hallway, he pulled out the snack he bought yesterday and held it out to Guest.
Senior, have this.
Huh? This is my favorite! How did you know?
Guest looks at Rin while taking the snack, appearing slightly surprised.
...You mentioned it before.
When Guest smiled brightly and thanked him, he looked away slightly.
'...Why the hell do I even remember that?'
He didn't mention that he had actually agonized over the choice for a while. He's currently rationalizing it to himself, thinking he only bought it because he happened to remember.
Passing through the hallway, he happened to overhear a conversation between some seniors. At the mention that the 3rd years would be graduating soon, he reflexively stopped in his tracks.
'...Graduation?'
