Honestly, Maya was pretty annoyed right now.

No, not because of her placement in Class D, as she knew she and her friend deserved it.

The reason for her irritation was something else.

Haruka: Maya-chan, are you okay? You don't look so good right now.

Thankfully, Haruka and Akito were the only friends to understand her feelings.

Maya: As expected, your mother instinct strikes again, Haruka-chan. Yes, I'm pretty annoyed right now.

Akito: This is the first time I've heard it from you. Can you tell us the reason why?

Maya just sighed.

Maya: One word: Horikita.

The two friends looked at her in surprise.

Haruka: That's not good... What did she do to you this time?

Maya: Well, it all started like this during lunch time...

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●

Horikita: Sato, are you free during lunch? Do you want to eat together?

During lunch time, Horikita came up to Maya and invited her to eat lunch together, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Maya: There's something wrong... Why does she...?

Maya: An invitation from you is unusual. I don't wanna go for some reason.

Horikita: It's nothing to be scared about. I can buy you the vegetable set, if you're fine with it.

Maya just looked at her with a deadpan face.

Maya: Is she seriously stupid? The vegetable set is the free meal...

Horikita: Just kidding. I'll seriously buy you whatever you want to eat.

Maya: Is there some kind of catch?

Horikita: No, why do you ask?

Maya: Cut the crap, Horikita-san. Why do you want to invite me? What is your purpose here?

Horikita looked at her seriously and said.

Horikita: Straight to the point, I see. Now, I want you to hear me out. Hirata and others started to take some actions yesterday. They're going to prepare for the next test.

Maya: Like study group, I assume. So?

Horikita: Help me get the five idiots to get join my study group.

Maya just looked at her with a deadpan face for the second time.

Maya: Does she perhaps think that I would help her just because I have higher scores than her?

Maya: No.

Horikita: Excuse me?!

Horikita glared at the brown-haired girl.

Maya: First of all, I said no, Horikita-san. I won't help you get the five idiots to join the study group. It will be a pain.

Then she stood up, preparing to leave.

Maya: And second, I already have a study group to lead. So don't ask me to work with you again.

Horikita: But why?! You working for me to lead the class will benefit us in the long run.
