Chapter 4

Finally it was the day of the hot spring trip. All six of them were packed into Satou’s car. The four, who were not Satou and Rintaro, were squashed by all the luggage, which was half of Satou’s.

    “ Why do you need all this luggage?”, Chisato asked.

    “Because I need all my beauty products.” Satou said.

    Chisato just huffed, annoyed by all the luggage. Rintaro was also annoyed just like Chisato, but for different reasons. Rintaro was extremely exhausted and feeling feverish. Their face was semi-flushed red and they coughed every 5 seconds.

    “ Hey Rintaro, are you alright?”, Disu asked quietly.

    Rintaro turned back to them and just nodded slowly. “I’m fine.” they said.

    Disu nodded, and then proceeded to look out the window. Bunko was right next to Disu and was sleeping silently with her headphones plugged in her ears.

    Asahina was next to Chisato, and was humming along to the tune of his music and looking out the window. He looked to be drifting off into a deep thought and seemed to have a sad look in his eye.

    Chisato had his head rested against the window, seeming to be half asleep. Asahina was still continuing to hum. He rested his head on Bunko for a moment and then switched to Chisato. He hummed a higher tune and then patted Chisato’s head. He switched back to Bunko and hummed louder. He was then on Chisato once again and then on Bunko. This cycle just repeated.

    Chisato was too tired to care what Asahina was doing, so he said nothing to him. Asahina was now bored with this and just sat still.

    “Hey did you know I use to be a choir boy?” Asahina said.

    Chisato ignored him once again, and continued leaning his head against the window. Asahina didn’t like this silence and then rested against Chisato.

    “Don’t ignore me,” Asahina said, “Bunko’s already asleep and Disu is too far out there.”

    “ That’s cool”.

    “Chisato,” Asahina said, “let’s play a game.”

    “ No”.

    “Why?”

    “ Whatever”.

    “That doesn’t answer my question.”

    “ Yeah”.

    “Give me a good answer.”

    “ No”.

    “Please.”

    “ Nah”

    “Yeh.”

    “ What game”, Chisato asked, sounding tired.

    “I spy or two truths and a lie.”

    “ Nah”.

    Asahina frowned at his answer.

“Let’s play two truths and one lie,” Asahina said, raising his hands up in the air, “I’ll start. I use to be a choir boy, I joined a gang in middle school, and I had a girlfriend in middle school.”

Chisato only stayed silent and continued to try and ignore Asahina.

“Hey Chisato, guess please.” Asahina said, poking at Chisato’s side.

“ Why?”

“Cause I’m bored.”

“ You didn’t have a girlfriend.”
