Gigi no doubt avoided Kōhei for the rest of the weekend. Rest of the weekend meaning, Sunday. Her stepfather told her Kōhei had come around and he also called her a bunch of times but Gigi didn't answer, settling for running off to Oya City instead. Once again, she was only here for the day since she had school the next day. Gigi practically skipped up the steps of Hanging Tower, black and white Nike sneakers tapping rhythmically up each step up of the building that had a ton of safety code violations. She held a plastic bag with fruits inside, a gift for the recovering car crash victim that was Seiji Kirihara. She reached the 5th floor and went down the apartments, greeting the kids who passed her along with the few aunties who knew her. Gigi eventually reached Seiji's apartment, Kirihara written next to the door in hiragana. She knocked on the door and waited a few minutes, hearing a little bit of shuffling and the door opened revealing Seiji. "Oh, Gigi? Ohayo" Seiji said with a dimpled smile

"Ohayo" Gigi said with a smile and handed him the plastic bag "a get-your-memory-back-soon gift"

Seiji let her in after taking the bag from her, laughing softly. "ah~ thank you" he said

Gigi took off her shoes and smoothed her hands down the black straight-leg jeans she wore. "Arata is here too" Seiji told her as she followed him inside

"Oh! I hope I'm not intruding" Gigi said as he led her to the living room

"Seiji, who is it— Ara? Gigi!" Arata stood up off the couch when he saw her

"Ohayo" Gigi greeted the older boy

"Ohayo" Arata greeted back, a smile on his face

"Your hair!" Gigi said as she sat down on the single-seat sofa next to the loveseat Arata was sitting on

During that whole mess with Kidra, Arata had dyed his hair blonde, now it was back to a dark brown colour. Arata smiled and laughed, a hand going up to touch the dark brown strands. "What you don't like it?" He asked playfully

Gigi leaned back into the sofa. "Well it's nice but you know I have a thing for bad boys, Arata" She said with a shrug and Arata laughed in disbelief

"of course you do" he said with a playful roll of his eyes

Seiji came back with the plate of fruits she had brought, cut and on a plate. "So how's it been going with your boyfriend Gigi? It was the first time last week any of us had seen him in person" Seiji said, a gentle smile on his lips

Gigi wasn't sure how to tell them she had been avoiding him. But she did want to know if they also thought the way Tsuji, Todoroki and Shibaman thought and if it was really everyone that didn't like Kōhei. "Yeah, I was kinda expecting him to at least come say hi... You dragged them all out before you even finished the soccer game" Arata said

Gigi frowned. "Well, Kōhei's kind of a hothead... I knew for a fact he would have started something with one of the other boys. I don't want him to fight my friends you get what I mean?" and they both agreed
