Hazu's POV:

I wonder where Ayano is.
"Hi Kashi. Sorry for being late. Budo wanted to talk with me."
"It's alright Aishi." I say with a hint of jealousy.
"Are you ready to go?" she asks.
I nod as she grabs my hand to drag me to the stairs.
I blush while she drags me. Aishi doesn't notice the blush, but she notices my flustered mutters.
She turns around and sees my red face.
"Are you sure you are feeling alright Kashi?"
I nod, and look down at our intertwined hands.
She notices and glances down.
"W-we should go!" I slightly yell.
"Okay." She says through her laugh.
We start to ascend the staircase to the rooftop, it of course didn't take long because we were on the second floor.
"I see a spot!" Aishi quietly yells.
She lets go of my hand and starts to jog to the spot.
She's been hanging out with Asu too much.
I mentally sigh and walk towards Aishi.
It's been about eight months since I first met Aishi, and she has been eating lunch with me everyday since then.
It's been eight months since I first fell in love.
"Hey?"
"Yes? Hi. Sorry." I say.
"You alright? You've been spacing out.
"Y-yeah! I'm fine, just thinking."
"Thinking about what?~" she asks me.
"I-it's been e-eight months since we first met." I silently mutter.
Aishi has learned to decipher my mutters by now, no matter how quiet I mutter.
"Has it been eight months? It feels like two." she says in shock.
I smile at her and she smiles back.
"Hey Kashi? You can call me Ayano if you want." she says.
I turn bright red and look down.
"Y-you can call m-me Hazu."
"Okay Hazu~" she says teasingly.
My face burns brighter.
She sees and laughs.

Taro's POV

Is that Yan-Chan?
When I see her smile and laugh my stomach, normally, turns to butterflies, but today I don't feel the butterflies. I feel jealous.

"OMG! IS THAT YAN-CHAN?"
I look over to my friend, Osana Najimi.
"HI YAN-CHAN!" she yells as she waves.
Aishi looks over and waves back.
"You know her?" I ask Osana.
"Of course I know her dummy. Midori, Yan-Chan, Raibaru, and I were best friends back in middle school."
How come I didn't know that?
I've been friends with Osana since we were five.
"Oh! She wants me to go by her! I'll be right back Taro! If Raibaru comes by tell her I'm saying hi to Yan-Chan!"
I nod as Osana runs off to talk with Aishi.
Who even is that boy Aishi is hanging out with?
He seems socially awkward.
Osana points towards me and waves.
I wave back.
"HE WHAT?" Osana yells as she stomps towards me.
"YOU WENT ON A DATE WITH YAN-CHAN AND DIDN'T TELL ME?"
"It wasn't a date Osana. I bumped into her so I treated her to dinner as an apology."
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!"
"I never saw it as important to tell you."
Whilst Osana scolds me, I see Aishi sitting back down by that boy and laughing at me, not in a mean way. I hope.
