Hazuki, who had been sucking on a lollipop before let the candy drop from her mouth as she noticed Kumiko. Midori managed to catch it in time but had her jaw dropped as well.

With a frown, Kumiko sat down behind her desk. "Is it really that surprising for me to be here?"

"It is! It totally is!" Hazuki exclaimed as she slammed a fist on Kumiko's desk. Her eyebrow twitched as the pain hit her. "We thought we wouldn't see you for another week." Hazuki then quietly confessed, staring down at the red side of her hand.

Kumiko forced herself to smile. "Well, I am back!"

She tried to ignore the happy chattering Hazuki and Midori did, probably about her. Right now she was more worried about how far behind she was with learning and tests.

Her eyes wandered through the classroom. Some kids had been staring at her and quickly changed their direction of view when they noticed she had seen them look at her.

When she noticed the back of Kousaka's head somewhere in front of her but more to the right, she stopped her eyes from trailing any further.

Now she regretted coming to school. Especially when Kousaka turned around and looked her dead in the eyes. She was just like Azusa.
