AYANOKOJI POV
Me {It was the day after the swimming class and class had already ended. Student voices could be heard throughout the halls}
??? [Kikyo-chan, do you want to stop by a cafe on the way home?]
Kushida [Sure! Just hold on a moment]
Me {After saying that, Kushida walked to the back of the classroom while putting a book in her bag}
Kushida [Horikita-san. I'm going to the cafe with my friends, If you'd like would you like to join us?]
Horikita [I'm not interested]
Me {She's been at it for a few days now}
Kushida [Is that so. Well I'll invite you another time]
Horikita [Kushida-san. Please don't invite me again, it'll be of all of our time]
Me {Despite Horikita's cold words Kushida kept a smile on her face}
Kushida [I'll invite you out another time]
Me {She then ran off to her friends, and they all left the classroom. But their words could still be heard throughout the halls}
??? [Kikyo-chan, please stop inviting Horikita-San. I hate her—]
Me {The rest of their words were inaudible. Horikita finished packing up and walked out of the classroom}
Me {I was lingering around the classroom, hoping someone would talk to me. But no one did, so I stood up from my seat and walked to the front of the class}
??? [Ayanokoji-kun, do you have some spare time?]
Me {The voice came from Hirata, he came up behind me and asked me a question}
Me [Yes I do]
Hirata [It's about Horikita. I was wondering if something was wrong. The girls were talking about her earlier. She's always alone, after all]
Me [No nothing seems to be wrong, but why ask me?]
Hirata [I would ask Yoshida about this matter, but he left as soon as the bell rang. And you're the only other person who is close to Horikita-san]
Me [I see]
Hirata [I just don't want any problems about bullying arising in our class]
Me {Bullying? Hirata got tense around the word Bullying}
Me [I think you should either talk directly to Horikita or to Yoshida]
Hirata [Yeah, You're right sorry for bothering you with this]
Me [No problem]
Hirata [Good day, Ayanokoji-kun]
Me {He left the classroom and I went home}

AYANOKOJI POV
Me {After school I headed straight for the dorms. Because I didn't want to be bothered with anyone, but on my way there I saw Yoshida hanging out in the lobby}
??? [Ayanokoji-kun, Do you have some time?]
Me {The voice that called out to me was Kikyo Kushida, Arguably the most popular girl in our class}
