Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 16, has been released, and fans are happy with the story’s progression. Sumire has finally received the screen time in the manga, and her discussion with Sarada was quite intense. Things were getting a bit awkward for Eida, who was a bystander to that conversation.

In the chapter, the topic of Sumire being a class rep was mentioned again when Sumire expressed annoyance when Sarada referred to her as the class rep. This begs the question - why does Sarada call Sumire class rep in Boruto?

The main reason is that Sumire happened to be the representative of her class in the Academy. There might also be other reasons in the manga that could explain why Sarada calls Sumire “class rep” and why Sumire doesn’t like it.

Sumire was the class representative when she studied with Sarada and Boruto in the Academy. This is the most obvious reason Sarada calls Sumire class rep. However, there are other reasons why she might be calling Sumire that, even if she didn’t realize it yet.

In the latest chapter of the manga, Sumire was annoyed when Sarada kept calling her class rep. Sumire outright revealed that she has feelings for Boruto. However, Sumire asked if Sarada even considered her feelings when she leaped into his arms upon his arrival.

Sumire put herself in Sarada’s shoes and found her actions just. However, she still felt frustrated. It was clear that Sarada didn’t look at Sumire as her potential romantic rival. Class representatives must always maintain decorum and are expected to behave a certain way. Sarada has always seen Sumire in that light. This meant that their interactions lacked a certain degree of personal touch.

This is, in turn, amplified when it comes to romantic relationships. Academic settings don’t usually approve of non-platonic relationships, and a class representative is expected to enforce this. This could be one reason why Sumire was annoyed when Sarada kept calling her class rep.

Sarada, on the other hand, subconsciously refuses to acknowledge Sumire as a potential romantic rival. Sumire picked up on this when Sarada continued calling her “class rep.” Additionally, looking at a supposed friend through the lens of a class representative isolates that person. This could be another reason Sumire got annoyed in the latest Boruto chapter.

Conclusion

It is clear that Sumire and Sarada’s feelings for the protagonist will be a theme that will be explored in the coming chapters. Therefore, fans can expect similar interactions until it is resolved.

Based on how things are, fans can expect a response from Sarada Uchiha in the next chapter. That said, it is clear that Sumire is tired of being called the class rep, and she might confess to Boruto about her romantic feelings for him.
