There, it's the bell!! Off: Take your seats. Fuuko [thought]: Hmph.

I'm sorry, I've monopolized all the girls in this world. Isocchi: Huh.... Don't change the subject. Daiya: To me, it just looks like you're trying to distract yourself. Aren't you? Off: But I'm really glad it's just before the test, ne. ------- Page 19 ------- L: It would really suck if you still had club, but you wouldn't go so you could avoid him anyway, right? Fuuko: Not really, we do live in the same apartment. D: Ah, that's right. You live just a floor apart from each other, ne. You get uneasy when you hear the sounds from up there? (wah---) Fuuko: ------yeah Fuuiko: But I know that I can't run away forever... Fuuko: Ah! I'm just going to get my sweats from the club room so I can take it home. L: Ah, ok.

He's always been like this, I must have given him a playboy power up, huh? /Fuuko/ I can only laugh Fuuko: But really, I'm just another person with no special meaning to Daiya, huh... L: ...I don't think so D: Me neither. Fuuko: Eh? ------- Page 26 ------- D: I know how much it hurts having a one-sided love, but D: aren't you just thinking about yourself?
