Forget It

Chapter 3: Entrance Exams

Entrance Exams were just around the corner and everyone in Sakuragoaka is extremely anxious.
Every one of them started studying like crazy.

Though Yui can be such an airhead and get distracted in the process. Good thing Nodoka and Azusa is there to keep her studying.

Ritsu did study for the entrance exams. She studied the whole entire day, excluding the time where she had to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. But other than that, she studied the whole entire day. No breaks. She didn't even bother to tease Satoshi, making him feel lonely throughout the day.

Ritsu would snap every time when her parents or Satoshi interferes with her studying, so they decided to NOT go into her room. Ritsu would come out if she feels thirsty or hungry and go to the kitchen for a drink or snack.

Very un-Ritsu-like, right?

Well, at least she's finally studying, right? Mio kept begging her to study since elementary school. It's been so long. But she didn't listen to Mio. Instead, she listened to her mother.

K-ON!!

"Look at Tainaka-san..."

"Wow, she's actually studying for once, huh?"

"Yeha, I guess so."

"So very unlike her..."

"Right?"

"I like ice cream..."

All the girls in the homeroom stared at Ritsu, who was busy reading a math textbook and taking down notes. The three other girls of the Light Music Club stared at her in disbelief and sadness, but Mio was the one who felt the saddest. Mio should be happy that Ritsu is finally studying, but they weren't friends anymore and it just doesn't feel the same. And also Ritsu probably didn't listen to her.

The teacher finally came in and started writing calculations and math problems on the chalkboard for the class to write down. Ritsu actually did it. She even gave out her fullest attention. There weren't even doodles and drawings on her notebook, since her drawings were amazing.

"Alright, class. Answer these questions on the chalkboard over here. If you're done, bring them to me to check." Ritsu smiled happily as she has been waiting to hear that sentence. She wanted to answer the questions so badly. She began to answer them confidently. Minutes later, she finally finished. She was the first to finish, in only three minutes. She stood up and walked to the teacher, reaching out her hand which held the notebook while smiling. Mio, Yui and Mugi stared at her.

"Tainaka-san, finished already? I'm surprised. You're usually one of the last ones to finish." Said the teacher, who grabbed the notebook from Ritsu's hand. He began to check the answers, hmm-ing every now and then. He then widen his eyes in surprise.

"T-Tainaka-san, impressive! You've got all of them correct! How did you?" Hearing this, Mio widen and opened her eyes and mouth in shock.

"R-Ritsu..."

Ritsu smirked at the compliment. "Well, sensei, I just studied." Ritsu said, taking the notebook back and winking at him as she walked back to her seat. Everyone in the class, including the teacher, stared at Ritsu as she put her hands behind her head and smirked again. Seconds later, she found a note on her table that came from the right. She looked to her right, seeing a girl with no expression. It was none other than the Wakouji Ichigo.

"Tainaka-san, I'm impressed. I never thought you'd get any of the questions right." Ichigo whispered. Ritsu twitched her eyebrows. Ichigo noticed this and made a small smile. "Anyway, that is a note from me. Read it." Ritsu opened the note and read it.
