Eira.

Keiji:

Sorry, Eira-san, but we have to reschedule our group study session. We're staying late at training today.

Me:

It's alright, Keiji! Don't worry about it.

Keiji:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

Me:

Sure. Thank you. Good luck with training. Please say hello to Koutarou-senpai for me. ^^

Keiji:

Will do.

Well, I guess I just have to study... alone.

"Masafumi-san!" Some of my female classmates approached me as the final bell rang for the day. I tilted my head upwards from my desk to give my full attention to them.

"Hello. Yes?" I flashed a polite smile.

"We're going to the coka today with our other classmates. Wanna join us?" Mari-san asked with a smile.

"Coka?" My eyebrows knitted together to express my confusion.

"It stands for coin karaoke..." Ayume-san uttered in a mild tone.

"Oh..." I blinked in surprise. Of course! I have never tried the coin karaoke, and I heard that it's quite fun!

My first month in Nekoma High School has been sailing smoothly so far. And by smoothly, I meant by gaining friends. Kuroo-san must have been really popular in here because I became the center of attention right after he talked to me in this classroom. I have interacted and made friends with a few of my classmates, mainly Mari-san and Ayume-san. I haven't really had the chance to interact much with my other classmates but this might serve as a chance for me to get closer with them.

"You'll have some fun in there, Masafumi-san. I'm sure!" Mari-san encouraged with a grin. Ayume-san smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Sounds wonderful." I smiled, but then it wiped off at the reminder of my father, who strictly ordered that I shouldn't slack off when it comes to academics. Heiress duties. I internally sighed. "But I'm sorry, I have to pass this time. I have to study..."

"Eh... but you just aced our quiz today! You deserve to celebrate at least." Mari-san pouted.

But not enough to impress my parents. It will take a lot more than acing my quizzes and exams to be worthy of the last name 'Masafumi'.

"Sorry. Maybe next time." I smiled apologetically.

Ayume-san chuckled suddenly. "Uh-oh. Mari, look, 9 'o clock."

"Oh my god, It's Kuroo-san!" Mari-san whisper-shouted.

I casted my eyes at the exact direction and indeed, Kuroo-san was by the window, taking a peek at us, specifically at Kenma. He gave me that same smirkish smile when he noticed my stare, which made me start to think is his trademark. I smiled back, only a little.

Which reminds me... I still have to meet up with Kuroo-san after classes. I have stayed up late last night thinking about different kinds of possible scenarios and I even prepared a list of answers! I have made it a big deal than it should be...

The staring contest didn't last long because I was the one who ended it. I returned my gaze back at the duo in front of me and saw them also looking at Kuroo-san before they refocuse their attention at me, then they plastered on a smile once again.
