I somehow force Nene to ask Hanako all type of questions. I was to raw with mine and Hanako's relationship to do anything. I barely even talked to him. The only reason I knew he was still thinking about me is that Ku continued to float around me.

At this point, I genuinely think that no one else can see Ku when he's with me. Not even Nene or Kou. I kinda like it, I do.

But now, I sat on the balcony, watching as Hanako was asked all these personal questions.

I decided yesterday that I wanted to know all about Hanako. I realized, I never really actively got to know him. Mostly because I convinced myself that he would even try to open up. And I was mostly right, watching this happen.

"How hard is it to tell me your real name, your blood type, your family type, and your date of death?"

"What comparability test factored in the date you die?" He asked.

"Death languages." Kou joked, currently being the boundary between me and Hanako, Nene being next to me.

"Anyways.. you should do this reading on someone you're into, right?" He said, his eyes glancing towards me, but I was simply just looking at one of the comparability books. We haven't talked, and he knows this. I really haven't talked to anyone when he was around. I don't know how he feels about this silence. "Like that Minamoto guy."

"Okay, that's old, I never really liked him! He was just some popular hot guy. It's like having a crush on a hot actor in a movie. You can say you want to date him, but you know you'll never get to. Even to think about it, he is the student council president, and he's smart and hot. Never mind Minamoto's perfect."

I look towards the blond now standing next to Nene, looking a little sheepish. "Thank you very much. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you like that.."

"Oh, hey big bro!"

"Ah! Kou.. and Kusari! Just the two I was looking for. I didn't know you knew each other."

"Yeah! We met a little while ago."

I smile, standing up and walking towards Minamoto.

"About a month ago, yeah." I say gently. That's the first time I've spoken today with Hanako still around.

"Oh that's great. Skips the introductions." He said softly.

"So why did you need me?" I asked.

"Ah, right. I needed you to have this." He said, handing me a few slips of paper. "You need to sign them for the school gathering in a few weeks. I already signed, but of course I need my assistant to sign as well."

I took the sips out of his hands. "Of course." I leaned down to write my signature, handing him back the papers. "There you go, Teru."

"Thank you! I'll give these to the Headmaster later."

I nodded, watching as he introduced himself to Nene, but I felt a gaze fall on me. I looked around, but I couldn't see anything.

"Kou. Come with me. We need to talk."

I sighed, going back to sitting down. I watched as Nene freaked out about how she didn't even realize Teru and Kou had the last name.

I looked out at the tree line, ignoring most of this.

...━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━...

I read myself in the library, looking for any information about Hanako. Nene's little interrogation did seem to help me in any way.

It's all just silly ghost stories. No mention of Hanako being the snarky boy he is. I sighed.

As I stood up, I started gathering all the books, but one fell over. Instead of picking it up, a green haired girl picked it up for me.

I looked into her low lidded eyes.

"Oh, I'm so sorry to trouble you." I whispered.

"Tell me something." She replied instead. "Are you interested in the seven wonders?"

I smile a little. "I guess you can say I'm a big fan of ghost stories." I giggled.

The silence was loud..

"Hanako, huh?" She said again after observing the book I was holding. "Yeah, that cat-like kid."

I raised a brow. "Cat? Cat like how?"

"Meaning he's strong-willed, selfish, and needy."

"I mean, strong willed, yeah.. but.."

I blinked at her. He's never acted selfish or needy around me.. in fact, he's always quite selfless when he's with me. He's only needy as a joke.

Does she know Hanako? A different Hanako then I do? Why do I feel something. Is this jealousy? Why am I jealous?

"If you want to learn more about Hanako, I'd suggest you visit the 5th of the seventh wonders." She explained, walking past me. I sighed. I guess her explanation would mean that Hanako does at different around others he knows.. but wouldn't he of told me? About her?

As I was thinking, I ran into the teacher. I watched him fix his glasses as he looked at me, his black and white hair all ruffled out.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Tsuchigomori.."

He sighed, taking the books from my hand. "Reading about the seven wonders, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Interesting." He mumbled under his breath, walking away. "They are always.. a fun read."

...━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━...

"The 5th of the seven wonders? Yeah I know of it." Aoi said. "I've heard it's called the 4 o'clock library. There's a special room in the schools library that can only be entered at 4am. Each book has someone's name on it. I'm they contain the records of the person when they went to the school. What's interesting is that it contains the past and future logs. You can see what happened in the future if you read your own book."

"And there's books of everyone?"

"All though, there's something else you need to know if you're deciding to go."

"Do tell.."

"In the library there are three different colored books. Some white, some black, some red. White is for people who are still alive, and black are for people who have already passed."

"Then what are the the red ones?"

"All I know about the red ones are that they are the ones you should never ever open."
