Ichigo Love - Strawberries love
By.Chinen Yuri
My name is Yuuri. I am a first grade senior high school student of Heisei Academy. I am a member of the newspaper club. We search for exclusive news at school everyday. Our current target is……first grade student, Yamada Ryosuke. Yamada is an idol for girls at school. But why does he not have a girlfriend? That is really strange. So I followed him with my camera. After school, when Yamada was walking home alone, a girl suddenly approached him.
“Yamada-kun….please be my boyfriend!” she said.
“Sorry, I am only interested in Strawberries” Yamada replied.
That girl ran away crying. He neglected such cute girl. And then his words about how he is just interested in Strawberries , is it just joke? Before this incident, he has also refused many girls on the way home.
On the other side of the street, third year junior high, Morimoto was walking together with his girlfriend, the name of his girlfriend is A. When A saw Yamada, she immediately ditched Morimoto to walk together with Yamada. Morimoto, who was watching them walk together from behind instantly grew envious.
The next morning, Morimoto called out to Yamada when he was walking to school.
"Follow me" he said, and Yamada followed him timidly, with a serious look on his face.
Morimoto lied about his poor physical condition so that he could keep pushing Yamada so that Yamada's date with A could be avoided. They were going to watch a baseball match together, and even though Morimoto knew that A loved baseball, he could not let her have her way. Finally, Morimoto had reached his limit and asked me to go to the baseball ground and take a photo of Yamada and A together and publish it, without them knowing. "i will take A back!" Morimoto exclaimed.
"I really liked A" Morimoto said, wounded at heart a few days later. He had lost.
"I will not give up to Morimoto. Because my heart won't lose to him" Yamada said as he nestled close to A.
Soon,Yamada and A became headline news and I was so touched. Since then, I had stopped following Yamada.
A week later after school, I took a different route home and came across a strawberry field.
"So this is what strawberry fields look like" I said.
When i looked further into the field, I saw Yamada and A. I then remembered something about A's family having a strawberry farm. Both of Yamada's hands were full of strawberries, a big smile plastered on his face. My eyes met his. At the moment, Yamada's sparkling smile changed to a grin.
"I'm just interested in strawberries" , I remember his speech. I was deceived by him. Yamada's affection was not because of A. But because of the strawberry field that A owns.
