"Where's Kuro?" Kenma asked, eyes glued to his smartphone as always.

"He said he'd meet us here," I explained.

I sat at an empty seat next to Kenma and set my lunchbox onto the table.

My mind drifted to Kuroo and Ishihara.

I wonder what they're doing right now.

I sighed. Suddenly I didn't feel like eating.

"Your hair looks nice today," Kenma said indifferently.

"Th-thanks," I tried to muster a smile.

What are they talking about right now? There's no way they're actually dating. How did this rumour start?

I couldn't figure it out. Why is it that the more I involve myself with Kuroo, the more things get confusing?

"Oh, that's right." Kenma started tapping on his phone. "I started this new game last night. It's called White Oasis Online."

He handed me his phone. The game was a beautifully designed MMO, especially for a phone game.

"I spent at least an hour on the character creation alone." He tapped on the screen to reveal his character, a short female witch with blonde hair and black cat ears.

I smiled. The witch reminded me of him.

"I'll download it right now!"

I excitedly went to the app store and downloaded the game.

I felt a little bit better. It was as if Kenma knew something was troubling me.

"Thank you, Kenma."

"Huh? For what?" He popped a chip into his mouth.

"That's not a proper meal," I changed the subject. "Here, let's share."

I opened my lunch box and placed it on the table in front of him with a pair of chopsticks.

He looked cautiously at the food then to me.

"Don't worry, I'm not very hungry," I assured him with a smile.

He looked back at the food. "Thanks for the meal."

He used the chopsticks to eat a piece of a rolled omelette.

Kenma's eyes widened. "Did you make this? It's delicious."

"No, my mom made it. I'm pretty useless in the kitchen," I laughed while scratching the back of my head.

"That's not surprising," he mumbled while helping himself to another piece of the omelette.

"I have feelings you know," I giggled. "Ah! The game finished downloading."

"Kenma! Guess who I just saw in the hall-," Yamamoto yelled as he busted through the doorway.

The moment he saw me he fled behind Fukunaga. "S-Sa-Sakurai-senpai?!"

"Hello, Yamamoto. Hello, Fukunaga," I greeted them.

"H-h-HELLO!" Yamamoto shouted.

Ah, there he goes unable to control his voice.

"Hello, senpai," Fukunaga replied.

"So who did you see?" Kenma shifted the conversation back to Yamamoto.

Before Yamamoto could answer, two girls walked by the class.
