I'm a Total Nobody, Yet I'm the School Beauty's Childhood Friend?

[Everyday School Life + No System + One Female Lead + Romance + Childhood Friends + Proactive Girl]

Why is she so nice to me?

I'm not the protagonist of some world. I'm just an ordinary, mediocre person, an insignificant nobody like most people, someone no one notices.

She's different. She's smart, kind, popular, and shines wherever she goes.

What could someone like her have to do with me?

“I thought you'd recognize me right away, but you acted like you'd forgotten me. You left without a word back then, even though we'd made plans...”

Her eyes grew wet.

I froze.

Xiao Mu?

The little girl who used to run after me everywhere?

The Xiao Mu I never even got to say goodbye to when I moved away in sixth grade?

“Xiao Mu?” I stammered. “I remember now...”

She looked up at me, tears falling from her eyes.

She's always been the one to take the initiative. I've always been the one passively responding to her. I'm really insecure and don't know how to express these feelings. She taught me how to love and encouraged me to learn to express what I feel.

I think this leans more toward male-oriented fiction, but I chose the wrong tags 😭
