    "BYE BYE, SHIMIZU-SENPAI, YACHI SAN! I hope to see you at Nationals!! Say goodbye to the rest of your team for me, will you? Have a nice trip!" Kaito bowed before walking towards his teammates, "Ahh... They haven't even left yet I feel really sad..." He sighed.

    "It's just that you get attached to people easily, senpai!" Exclaimed Lev, who was grinning at him.

    "That's not true!" Kaito denied, which made the whole Nekoma team laugh at his obvious lie.

    "Anyway, we better say goodbye to the rest of the teams." Kaito said out loud, looking away with a slightly flushed face.

. . .

They were finally on the bus. Some were talking, some were eating and most were sleeping. Kaito was doing non of those things. Instead, he was texting Langa.
