Aimee starts cursing right away.

Tendou blinks in surprise, while Hichimiya stands up from her seat and raises a fist.

"Why not? You better have a good reason because I will punch your ass if you hurt her again."

Semi raises both his hands while shaking his head at the sudden threat. He turns to see that I am looking at him in utter shock and shakes his head faster again. Before he can open his mouth to say something, Kanzaki utters something.

"Semi-san, why do you always hurt Eenie? I'm sure you probably don't intend to, but the stuff you say are always so harsh." She says in a quiet voice, while the entire table can only sit quietly; not just because of what Semi had said, but because of what Kanzaki had added. She barely ever talked to people, and she was the last person I would have expected to hear something like that from.

"Um-"

"I'm sorry Een, but like she said," Semi says, pointing at my friend, "I'm not trying to hurt you. And it's not that I wouldn't go on a date with you... It's more that I can't go."

"But why not?!" Hichimiya hisses, looking up to the way Semi had stood up and taken his half-eaten meal tray.

"I have somewhere else to be... I'm sorry, Een." He mumbles, and walks towards the wastebasket, dumping the contents in hand before he makes his exit.

"That little..."

"Um you guys, I'm sure Eita has his reasons, so... Yeah. It's fine."

"Do you," Aimee wants to know, pointing at my face, "Think you look like you're fine?"

"Well, whenever you plan something, of course, you'd feel terrible when it gets ruined. It's fine." I mumble. Hichimiya was beginning to protest, so I take my tray to leave the cafeteria as well.

On my way out, I find Mitsuki glancing my way with a confused expression on her face. She blinks at me a little and motions me to come to where she sat.

I don't have the heart to give her a smile as I shake my head and walk outside.

Tendou found out why Semi said he couldn't go with me.

"Eita-kun is at Tokyo." He says while we headed to Home Economics lab the next day. "He left right after dinner last night.'

"Tokyo?" My voice echoes. Tendou nods in response, while we enter the class. Sayaka-sensei gives me a smile, cheerful expression on her face while she waves at me.

"You're here to finish the cake you're making for Ei-kun?" She wants to know, a mischievous grin spreading on her face. Tendou laughs a little while I walk to her desk, a frown on my face.

"Sayaka-san, you can use the prep stuff. I don't have to make it anymore."

"Eh?" She asks, confused. I have to slowly explain to her that my soulmate wasn't in the city and how it would only go to waste if it sits in the freezer for longer. When I had asked her for help with making a cake for the occasion, she was ready to help me after the session, and I was thankful for the time she spent to teach me how to make a decent-tasting cake.
