(Ayako's POV)

Everybody had settled down. Well, everybody, except me and the other girls, in other words all the boys were sweating like hell.

"Ahh, good grief." Myura's calm voice interrupted my thoughts.

Myura! What're you doing here?

I heard her scoff.

They'll just think you're talking to yourself. . .

She had a point. Plus, it was partially true.
