--- 

We had midterms the next week.

Semi and I had done a lot of interacting as of late, and I was starting to slowly get used to seeing him fresh after he finished practice, during dinner, and during Home Economics. People no longer asked either of us to pair up with them, and Semi believed that it was all Hichimiya and Tendou's fault.

But he didn't seem disappointed when he pats the seat beside him, after Aimee and I enter the class.

In fact, he had a smile on his face.

I could seriously get used to this.

In the middle of us preparing a batter for cake, Tendou asks if he could speak to me alone.

I glance over to Semi, who gives me a nod, and we walk towards the cabinet, where Tendou crouches to pick up a small tray.

"Een-chan. See this?" He asks, lifting his left wrist up. Tendou's mark was made of three lines in between two small squares.

"What is it, Miracle Boy?" I want to know when he points to one of the squares.

"This wasn't on my hand when I went to bed last night."

Realisation hits my head and I glance again at the pattern on the volleyball player's wrist. The outgoing Tendou Satori never looked so serious in his lifetime, and he looks at me, blinking and waiting for a response.

"This means your soulmate..."

"...Is in love with me." He completes my sentence, placing the picked trays on the countertop and standing up.

"I don't know who it is... And Hichi-chan's birthday is still in two weeks. I want her to be my soulmate, Een-chan."

I couldn't begin to describe how happy I was that Tendou liked my best friend. It felt like a dream come true, and they matched too much to not be together.

"Yeah. I don't think I want to wait for her to get her pattern... And then find out that it doesn't match mine. I want to date her even if she has another soulmate."

"Satori..."

It seemed like Tendou had a lot in common with Takeru, as well.

"I just wanted to tell you that, Een-chan. That I'll confess, the way you did to Eita-kun."

"How did you know I conf-"

"Laters!" He sings, his cheerful mood back on his face when he takes the trays and leaves. With a sigh, I take out a tray for myself and head back to my station.

"I didn't know you and Satori were that close," Semi mumbles when I reach where he stood.

"Yeah well... Wait, what are you doing?!"

"What is says on that book, duh."

And once again, I found myself getting yet another F in my assignment with Semi.

But it wasn't like that last time with the fritters.

This time, Semi didn't leave, until Sayaka-san forces us to get out of her class.

"You're quite stubborn, you know."

"You're quite stupid, you know." He responds. He flicks my forehead and then gives me a nod before he walks out to the other wing.
