—Itsuki—

The next day soon came. Anytime Goh would see Itsuki, he'd do everything he could to avoid her, even in class. This went on for hours and hours until Lunchtime came. As usual, the cafeteria was packed.

Currently, she was walking from the lunch lines with her tray of expensive food in-hand. The girl was headed towards the seating area, not noticing that she was being followed by Futaro. She eventually stopped at a table with four other girls who looked a bit like her. One of them being Yotsuba, another witness of the graffiti incident.

"Thanks for waiting." Itsuki told the four. She glanced over at Fuutaro Uesugi and gave a sly grin. "I'm sorry, but this table is full."

Futaro put on a face full of frustration before walking on to find a different seat. Not too long after, one of the girls with much shorter hair and her jacket tied around her waist got up to go where the boy was headed. It didn't take long for her to return with a smile on her face. Immediately, Yotsuba hopped up and left towards the same boy.

"I'll be right back, girls!" She whispered before tip-toeing away.

Itsuki decided to go with her meal. "Thank you for the meal!" She prayed aloud, getting ready to dig in. The other girls had already cleaned their plates as they were waiting for their sister to arrive.

"Usually you'd be the first of us in the lunch line, Itsuki." Mentioned the girl from before, with the waist-mounted jacket.

The girl sitting directly beside Itsuki, with headphones around her neck, looked up from her phone. "Ichika's right. What took you so long, Itsuki?" 

"I had... some stuff... to take care of." She answered between bites of her food.

The last of the girls frowned. She had butterfly-themed bows in her hair. "Okayyy, Rude."

"Oh no, Nino! I didn't mean it that way at all. I was preoccupied with talking to one of my classmates." She revealed.

Ichika took a sip from her juice box. "Oh~ Was it a boy?" She teased.

Itsuki shook her head. "A girl. But now that you mention it, I've been getting avoided by a boy."

"Do you know the boy?" Miku asked her.

"Not necessarily. Yotsuba and I had an 'encounter' with him a couple of days ago at the library." She added.

"Hmm." Nino put her chin in her hand, looking deep in thought. 

"What's the matter, Nino?" Ichika asked.

"Now that I think about it, there was this really cute boy who was avoiding eye contact with me in the hallway earlier. He had blonde and black hair and attractive eyes." Nino explained.

"That's him!" Itsuki clarified.

"Aw man. And here I was thinking he had a crush on me."

"As if." Miku muttered, underneath her breath.

"What was that, Miku?!" The butterfly ribbon girl retaliated. "Speak up!"

Miku puffed out her cheeks, crossed her arms and looked away. 

"Can you two please stop? We're at school." Itsuki interjected, in an attempt to calm Nino down.

"I'm interested in the boy conversation~ What kind of incident occurred between you three?" Ichika asked Itsuki.

Itsuki went on to explain the 'vandal situation' to her sisters. 

Nino looked downwards with her hand touching her chin. "That explains why he's trying to hide. Yotsuba is scary." 

"A fugitive on the run..." Miku added.

Ichika smirked and leaned towards Nino. "Blonde hair and a Bad Boy? That's right up your alley, isn't it?"

"Shut up, Ichika." Nino snapped, causing her sisters to laugh.

*That's 600 words for the next chapter. I was keeping y'all waiting for too long, so I felt y'all at least deserved this much so you could know I wasn't bs'ing when I said I was back.
