When I got to school Monday morning, our class rankings were posted. Students were gathered around the board. Some students cheered at their rank ups, some sulked due to falling down in ranks. But for the most part, most students were content with their scores.

Sakurai Ayase

I smiled. I was able to maintain my spot!

Kuroo Tetsurou

What? How did he manage to get second place?

I stared at the board. I was too shocked to process this news.

"What was that about me scoring fifth place?" a voice whispered into my ear.

"K-Kuroo-kun?!" I jumped.

My heart started to race.

That startled me!

I turned to look up at him. He stood there smugly smirking at me.

"C-congratulations," I muttered.

"Huh? What was that?" he cupped a hand to his ear and shoving it in my face.

My face flushed. I bit my lip and walked away.

My heart was still beating fast and my face was still red. Last week I mistook this as possibly being infatuated with Kuroo or my fever, but now I know what this feeling is. Envy.

Kuroo maintained good grades, a healthy social life, and he was great at athletics yet he always looked so carefree.

applepi: I won't force you

applepi: but are you sure you don't want to meet up?

Not applepi too!

I groaned. I do what to meet up with him though. It's 96kami that I don't want to meet.

aYaPi☆: Did 96kami have you ask me? ꒰╬ •᷅д•᷄ ╬꒱

applepi: Like I said, I won't force you...

I do want to see applepi in real life. It won't hurt if I see 96kami too right? If he's not the type of person I imagined him to be, I'll just end my crush at that. But what if he ends up being really hot and I fall in love with him and then he sees me and he's disgusted by how ugly I am? Ahhh, what do I do?!

I got flustered at the thought of that.

Wait, why am I even entertaining the thought of meeting them? I need to study!

applepi: Hello? Are you there?

aYaPi☆: Y-yeah...

applepi: So?

I want to be carefree...

That thought passed my mind.

No! I can't! Mom and Dad are expecting me to follow Arata's footsteps! I need to focus on my studies! I have to...

I gripped my phone.

aYaPi☆: I'll go under one condition!

applepi: What is it?

aYaPi☆: 96kami can't come!

applepi: WHAT?!

applepi: WHY NOT???

applepi: WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME?? ٩(ↀДↀ)۶

aYaPi☆: Punishment for forcing applepi to ask me to meet! ꒰｡•'ｪ'•｡꒱۶
