32 ☆ ( "PLEASE, SATO, AND PLEASE, GODS." )
"Where did you apply?" The five of us walked down the stairs, getting ready to head to each of our Teacher's desks at the office to see our scores from each of the universities. I was the most nervous–this would make or break the truth being prevailed. "I applied to Kyoto, Tohoku, Nagoya, and Osaka."
"Good for you, Sunoo. Where are you trying to go, though?" Hanae asked, her arms linked with mine. I continued rubbing my hands down the side of my skirt, pressing away the sweat. "I applied to Keio, Tohoku, and Nagoya. I really want to go to Keio, though–because to be honest, I don't think Tohoku will take me. Nagoya, it's a mixed bag."
Jungwon knocked his knuckle against her temple, causing Hanae to hiss. "Because you're not a bookworm, the chance is even less," She rolled her eyes and rubbed the spot, Jungwon began to hum and walk along.
"I want to go to Nagoya University. I heard it's one of the best universities for research," Sunoo shoved his hands in his pockets, sparing me a glance–and then directed his words to Riki. "How about you, Riki?"
"Kyoto only."
"WHAT!?" The three synchronized, surprised. I raised my eyebrows in surprise, but I wasn't that shocked. This was exactly in the plans. He chuckled awkwardly, hoping that I was looking–but I was staring at the path. So, he quickly cleared his throat. "You're taking quite the gamble, Riki. What if you don't get in?"
"Then I'll just apply to a school in the spring. It doesn't bother me," Riki shrugged. "My number one is Kyoto University. I'm in Class 1A and got a good score on the first round of entrance exams."
"Oh right, you didn't tell us what you got."
"I got a four-hundred-thirty-eight."
"Holy shit!" Jungwon's jaw dropped. "That's almost as good as Rie's!"
"How do you know my score?" It was the first time I spoke, but I meant it. "Don't tell me–Sunoo, did you talk about my score to him?"
Sunoo cheesed. "I swear, Rie, it was an accident!" Riki looked between us, attracting the attention of Sunoo's curious expression. "What is it, Riki?"
