Arriving at the first year rooms on the first floor of the building, Kagome and Kei looks at the window to see if Kira is still there. The remaining students got baffled as they see once more (and some of them saw Kei for the first time) the two.
“Oh, Senior Yukiyama and Sakagami!”
A familiar voice called them. The two became alerted and looks at the one who called. Holding a broom on his hands, Nakazono Haruki greets them. “Hi, Nakazono!” Kei greets with a smile.
“You’re looking for Kira, right?” Nakazono asked. Both of the girls nod, althoughl, Kagome is reluctant to answer on his question. “Yeah… I was looking forward to go home with him… I mean, the three of us.”
Kei’s voice show a little less distress because Kira’s not around. She seemed disappointedl; looking forward to see him now, but ended up ditching.
“Well, a while ago… one of our classmate asked him to go somewhere.” Nakazono answered. That made Kei alarmed after hearing it. One of his classmates, huh? Since everyone seemed not fond of talking to him except for this guy.
“Oh, if it happens… that classmate of yours….” Kei hesitantly asked.
Nakazono felt agitation towards his senior’s question. He sees that Kei is interested in Kira. But what can he do? Kira is a type of guy that seems distant to everyone, and just follow who someone approaches him.
It’s his first impression since the first time they met, or should it be the time he saw the two at on the way to school. “That classmate’s agirl, huh?”

Cracking the silence, Kagome retorts. Nakazono and Kei looks at her; Kagome seemed not falter to gaze at the two. “Yeah…. it’s a girl.” Nakazono answered. His restrained to hold onto Kei’s question loosened.
The three of them become silent. None of them dared to ask. “…. Maybe I should ask Kira?” Kei cracks the silence, fishing her phone from the skirt pocket. Quickly opening the screen, she searches Kira’s contacts.
Fiddling her fingers on the screen, Kei gazes at the screen intently. She must ask Kira if there’s a girl he likes, no… the one who called him awhile ago.
Kei doesn’t want to impose on Kira’s privacy, but she can’t helped but to get worried if another girl swoons him. “How’d it go?” Kagome asked. She’s kind of curious now, that Kira, who doesn’t show any interest over Kei, happens to approached by another girl.
In a sudden ring of her phone, Kei quickly check the notification on it. “Ah, now he’s on his way home now.”
As Kei reads the message, her shoulders drooped down. The excitement she has suddenly snuffed after reading Kira’s message. “He said he’s on his way home…” her voice barged with sadness.
Kagome notices it. She sees Kei dejectedly right now because of Kira. This must be the plan of that man to make them get closer. “Well, wec an’t helped it; might be, Kira got a girlfriend—”
“No, it can’t be.” Kei protested. Nakazono ansd Kagome got baffled from Kei’s retort. Even Kei herself got baffled on her own response. “I mean, it can’t be helped, well Kira is a guy, so…. having a girlfriend…. must be good, right?”
She forces a smile. She even hide what the words she just said mean all about. “Well for that, let’s just go home.” Kagome offered to Kei, as she reached to hold her shoulder.
“Yeah, let’s go home. Thanks, Nakazono, for telling.” Kei uttered as she walked away from the classroom together with Kagome. “Sure, senior.” Nakazono wryly smiles as he glimpsed at the two.
“You sure are something, Kira. Making senior Sakagami having that face.”
Sighing languidly, Nakazono shakes his head sideways. He knows that senior Sakagami is totally down bad for the guy. It’s Kira who doesn’t show any interest to her that makes this kind of situation a heartfelt one.
“Might be tomorrow, Kira will tell about what happened today. He must tell all about it!” with enthusiasm on his voice, Nakazono then goes back to cleaning on the classroom together with the others.
