Michiyo didn’t like to hear Ayumu’s scolding.
She doesn’t exactly like stress.
So Michiyo ran away from Ayumu,

“I noticed since last year that you always looked at him,” Akimoto-kun continued.
“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean I like him,” I didn’t want to tell anyone yet.

“That’s weird… because I like someone else!” I said cheerfully, as if I really did like someone else.
“Wait, really? Who?” he was unexpectedly curious.
“Not telling!” I teased.
“Aww come on. Is it someone we know?”
“Maybe~”
“Is it someone from the group?”
“Maybe~” at this point, I was really just playing with him.
“Me, maybe?” Akimoto-kun said, his eyes meeting mine.
