Song of the Chapter: Dramaturgy - Eve

Day after day you sit in your boring classroom. After the rehearsals and practices for Tokyo Blade started up, you barely got to see Akane and Aqua. Aqua would show up to class, but usually on the days he did you would be the one out of school doing your job. You had friends in class, but they didn't hold the same bond you and Aqua had after the start of B-Komachi, though they were getting close.

"[name]!! What did you get on the test?" Eruru asked as she ran up towards your desk, the closing bell had rung a few minutes earlier. With her own test paper in one hand and her other gripping onto the sleeve of Matsuyo's wrinkled uniform, "Let's compare our scores!!"

"Ah... I got a 91☆" You say, spinning your paper so it could face them, "It's not bad but I totally could have done better if it wasn't for question 12... I suck at explanation problems."

"A 91??! That's so good!! That's totally not fair! I only got an 84." Eruru whined as she plopped down onto the seat she had pulled up, consequently letting go of Matsuyo's arm.

"What did you get, Matsuyo?" You asked politely.

"Oh. Uhm..." Matsuyo bit his lip as he clenched the paper in his hand, "Let's just say it was above a 40. Yeah."

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Matsuyo. Honestly, this test was a hard one!" Eruru said as she tried to cheer him up, "Plus, that's an upgrade since the last test!"

"I don't know, man. School is a total waste of my time. It's not like I'm really going to do anything after this."

"But having a good education opens up a lot more opportunities in the future!" You chime in, "Even if you don't do well with the paper grade stuff, some of this information is pretty useful to have."

"You sound exactly like my Aunt." Matusyo groaned, laying his forehead on your desk, "This is all messed up. How do you of all people manage to keep up with all your grades when you barely show up to class as is?"

"Yeah, you totally have to be cheating or something!! Ohmygosh, I bet someone implanted a chip into your brain and–"

"Eruru, stop that. No one did anything to me and I definitely am not cheating. I know I don't ever come in person but... I take night classes!☆" You lie through your teeth. In reality, it was in a previous life where you were an academic weapon. Now all you do outside of class is stream or oversleep from a previous night of streaming.

"Night classes?" Matusyo murmured, "Do they really help?"

"Yeah, but they cost money. If anything, I could always tutor you, Matusyo.☆" You smile softly as you tilt your head to look down at him.

"We should totally have a group study sesh together! It would be so lovely and we would all be so productive and we could finally spend some time together with all three of us!" Eruru bursted out, "You two could both come to my house– or maybe the library would be better because I have a lot of family with me... or maybe we could go to one of your houses?"

"I think a library would be better." Both you and Matusyo say.

"Alright then! I'll schedule a study sesh in the library that's near the convenience store that's a street down from school, okay? I'll send the directions link in the group chat too!" Eruru said, pulling out her sparkling phone from the pocket of her shirt.

The three of you get up from your desk and slowly walk your way out of the classroom and eventually out of school. You wave your goodbye once you all start parting ways, a soft smile on your lips. Once everyone was gone though, the smile you once had returned back to its usual neutral expression. Looking down at the ground, even spending quality time with your friends couldn't fill the void without your partner.
