"Fuyu, are you listening?" She got distracted from her reverie when her classmate called her name. She raised her brows and slowly nodded.

"You're not listening. I'm telling you something important but it seems you're not interested in it." She pouted and rested her arms on her desk.

"I'm listening now. I'm just thinking of something." She mumbled. It's been a week since she had a fight with Yamasho and until now, they are not talking. It looks like he doesn't have any plans to talk to her.

"I heard from the other years and sections that Yamasho-senpai is courting someone." Her classmate said in a low voice as if it is a top secret.

She bit her lips when she heard this. Does it mean he is just playing with her? Those they did during the team building were just nothing? If he really did those to make her move on from Riku, then he succeeded but in exchange, he gave her another heartbreak.

"The girl must be so lucky." She mumbled and opened her notebook to make some doodles. Her classmate keeps on talking about this top secret until they hear the school bell ring.

"Where will we go today?" Her classmate asked while fixing her things. Their teacher for the last subject is absent and it is already their dismissal.

"Should we go to the mall today?" She smiled, thinking that going to the mall will make her forget about Yamasho somehow.

"Let's go to the new stationery store there. I heard there are lots of cheap materials you can buy there." Her ears perked up. She is a hoarder of art and crafts materials.

The two went out of the classroom together and she saw Yamasho in the hallways. She slowly looked away and clung on her classmate's arm as they kept on walking out of the premises.

She thought he would already talk to her but he didn't. She just passed by as she saw that he is talking to his friends from other sections. This confirmed her thoughts that she is already nothing to him. She took a deep breath and refrained herself from crying.

He got her first kiss and first hug. She is not really close with her male classmates and their male club co-members. She may be sitting beside them at some times but she will not talk to them unless they need to. She is close with a certain guy but it is her older brother.

"I'm excited." She smiled, shoving the negative thoughts away and just thinking about the new stationery store that her classmate mentioned.

"Ah, right! You're friends with Yamasho-senpai, desho?" She furrowed her brows when she heard his name again. She is trying to forget about him but her classmate keeps on talking about him.

"Why don't you ask him who the lucky girl is?" She slapped her arm lightly while glaring at her. Why would she do that? She will just hurt herself if she will ask.

"We're not close. Don't make me do ridiculous things." She said. Her classmate narrowed her eyes at her. She raised a brow.

"Right. You like Riku-senpai. You told me about it." It's been a while since she heard that name and instead of feeling hurt, she is feeling nothing.

"I moved on from him already. We had team building last week, desho? His ex-girlfriend was there and it looked like they got back together." The two girls kept on talking about Riku and his ex-girlfriend until they arrived at the mall.

They immediately went to the stationery store and Fuyu got a basket for the materials she will buy. She started to look around and she went to the pens section first. Her eyes are glimmering while staring at the various pens displayed on containers.

It took her almost two hours before she could decide on everything. The basket she is carrying is a little heavy and she went to the counter to pay for it. She opened her bag and looked for her separate wallet for her savings.

"Are? Where is it?" She mumbled while still looking for her wallet. She can't find it. It seems she left it at home.

"What happened?" Her classmate asked and she told her that she left her wallet at home. She heaved a deep sigh and took the basket to put everything back where she got the materials.

"How much?" Her eyes widened when Yamasho appeared besides her. The cashier told the total amount and he got his wallet to pay for it.

She got the paper bag full of materials but he snatched it away from her, knowing that it was heavy. He gestured to her to follow him outside and she slowly nodded. The two girls followed him outside and she looked down while fiddling her fingers together.

"Next time, make sure to bring everything important. What if I'm not around?" He started and she lifted her chin to glare at him.

"Why are you scolding me? I didn't ask for your help. Why are you even here? Why are you not with the girl you're courting? Give those to her instead. It's not me who paid for it, anyways." Her classmate is just watching the two. He sighed lightly and gave the paper bag to her.

"Are you jealous? Here. Don't get mad. Did you miss me? I was too busy. My older sister gave birth last week and I needed to go home early to take care of the dance school." She puffed her cheeks while looking at the paper bag.

"Why would I miss you? I didn't miss you. Your older sister gave birth? Is it a boy or a girl?" The two stopped from talking when her classmate interrupted them.

"I'm Fuyu's classmate and friend." She introduced herself and Fuyu almost forgot that she was there.

"I'm Yamasho. I'm courting her." He smiled at the two and Fuyu just took a few steps away from her friend, planning on how to escape from her badgers.
