     𝕋hey ended up walking to the girls bathroom together. "Ok, so you can't just do that everyday because I'll fail school, every once and a while is ok." She explained to him. It was dissapointing but it made sense. If she didn't learn, she'd fail exams, leading to no toilet-cleaning time! As much as she might hate it, he loves it. Maybe a little too much for what it is, but still.

    "What if I just like- quietly sit there?" he said squinting at her. "I mean it works I guess, don't know why you'd want to though." He pursed his lips together, creating a 'mmm' sound. "Well I haven't ever actually finished my education, not that it matters much since I'm dead though." Hanako told her while shrugging his sholders. "Really? You'd think Tsuchigomori-sensei would have tried too, since he was your teacher 'n all!" She looked at him slightly shocked.

     "Actually I think he tried, at least for a while. I think I was the problem there." The boy chuckled a bit as he opened the bathroom door. "Ladies first~" He held the door open for the chubby-legged girl. After made it in the door she stopped. He guessed she realized that she actually had to clean today. Even though this bathroom doesn't get too much traffic, it still should be cleaned regularly, especially if it is intended to be a hangout place for the trio.

     "I don't want to clean!" She whined as she stomped her big feet. "Awwwe c'mon Yashiro-san if you don't stay active how're you gonna lose all that weight collected in your ankles!" He said moments before disaster. "YOU IDIOT!" She yelled, hitting him on the head. "Whoa, whoa, Senpai you might want to chill it a little!" The exorcist boy who had seemed to just pop out of nowhere said, waving his hands quickly in front of him.

    "Ugh I hate you sometimes!" she looked away from the currently floating ghost boy who was rubbing his head. She had her arms crossed and was pouting. He could tell because her cute pudgy face reflected in the mirror.

     He tapped her shoulder softly and handed her a mop, grin on his face. "fine.. Sorry for blowing up." she dejectedly took the mop and slapped it on the ground, watee droplets going everywhere. She then pushed it around the wooden floors. Meanwhile, Kou was taking a rag to the doors, causing a faint squeaky noise to occur.

   "Hey Hanako!" The kid pulled the other two's attention onto him. "Have any donuts left? I could use a snack." He asked while wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Huuh?! Get your own! This was a gift!" He cried, holding his precious bag close.

   Cleaning up a bathroom couldn't be funner. He floated above the floors since they were still sticky. The windowsill was freshly cleaned, so it was still wet so he couldn't write yet. He just stared out the window, not like he could do much else. Tsuchigomori was likely grading papers and would get really made if Hanako were to burst in.

    Eventually the windowsill dried and he xould place the paper down without ruining it. With a cherry tomato colored face and slightly trembling hands he began to write. It might be a little silly of him to be this shy about writing, but he couldn't help it. It was akward. Hanako wasn't like Nene who was incredibly open about the romantics of life. It stressed him out, but eventually the words began to flow, like water from a stream.

    "Dear Yashiro Nene,

   I can't help but think of how pretty you are. You always look so soft, it makes me want to hug you until the end of time, that's not creepy is it?

      -From your secret admirer."

   It took all he had within himself to not crumple up the paper and toss it into the nearest trash bin like a game of basketball. He managed to make it to her locker luckily, letter in pristine condition, not a wrinkle in sight.

   He paused when he saw an unfamiliar letter taped onto the locker wall with the words 'for my beloved admirer'. He reached to the back of the locker and detached the tape. The words inside read,

I'm quite tired at the moment. Oh god.
