The narrator tells us that he was "crossed in the relationship" before he realized it, but he still doesn't know why. He feels "ambivalent" in his relationship with Yamu, but can't say "no" to her, because he's not sure how to express his feelings. He's worried that she's going to say "yes" to him, which will make him sad. The narrator says he'll wait for her at the school gate after school, and then he and Yamu can go home together.
