At the end of the dodgeball game, Mr. Tomioka called it a tie. After you and Genya took each other out, the two teams had been going at it until class ended

But it didn't matter to you who won, you just liked to be a part of it

Although, Aoi's words did really stick with you.

Usually, on Fridays, everybody's excited about Literature class because they always get a free period

But since today is the day of the quiz, most people are standing around looking gloomy and moping in class

Now, you're sitting at your desk, staring blankly at the paper in front of you. The goal is to answer questions about the reading, so you'll likely ace this quiz no matter what.

You look to Sabito. His head is resting in his hand, and he's looking down. You can't see his face, but something about him seems...sickly

You may have been sad about him ignoring you before, but that doesn't matter to you at this point. You're just hoping that if you stare at him just a little longer, he'll turn around and smile again

Because you know something's wrong, but you can't tell what

Suddenly, Sabito stands up quickly, his hands over his mouth

"Whoever is moving, please remain seated--" Mr. Himejima starts

Before he can finish, Sabito runs out of the door

You're staring at the door. You can't see him, but you can hear his shoes clicking down the hall

Don't engage. No more drama.

After tossing it around in your head, you decide to cast the thought aside. It's probably just a ploy to skip class--he's done that kind of thing before, last year.

Curious whispers and murmurs ripple throughout the class, since people seem to have the same idea as you

Mr. Himejima claps his hands together "Everyone please remain focused. Everything is alright."

After class, Sabito disappeared.

All during science class, you were bored and got caught doodling pictures of random things in your notes. But the teacher let you off with a warning

At lunch, Makomo finally got to meet Tanjiro and Nezuko in person--it was more of an accident than anything, though

You see, you and Makomo were looking for Sabito, since he wasn't returning any texts or calls. Coincidentally, when the two of you were walking down the stairs at the side of campus, you ran into the other two getting up to some trouble

"Ah wow!! It's the new guy..." Makomo says, feigning enthusiasm

"Hey," he smiles up at you from the bottom of the stairway "Whos this?"

Behind him, Nezuko keeps running up the stairs and sliding down the railing over and over again. She appears to be enjoying herself

"This is Makomo!! She's the smart one of my friends. Single too, if you're interested" You elbow her jokingly, and she looks up at you with starry eyes

You hope that joking like this will keep him from thinking you like him

"Nah. I think you two would look better together than me" Tanjiro laughed

You blushed, furrowing your eyebrows "HEY! Don't make it weird"

He shrugged and hopped onto his skateboard, balancing with his arms out "What'd you guys come here for anyway? You looking for somebody?"
