It's already a few days since Ayumi talked to Keita. The reason she didn't talk to him is simply because she's embarrassed of what happened back when both of them are in her room.
"Did I creeped him out...?" Ayumi thought. She gazed over to Keita's seat, as soon he noticed her gaze, he immediately look away.
"I totally did!" Ayumi screamed internally.
"What is she doing?" Keita thought.
"If things didn't look like usual, someone may suspect there's something between us! Especially that Itsuki!" Ayumi thought.
"Keita, why not we ask Ayumi-chan about it?" Itsuki asked.
"Huh? What can you do by asking her?" Keita said.
"C'mon! It's just for asking, no big deal with that." Itsuki urged.
"It's a chance! Nice one, Itsuki! Come over and talk about something! I'll just pass the topic on back to Keita... And then!" Ayumi is in her high speed processing, until Itsuki came up with a question.
"Ayumi-chan, what did you do with Keita that day?" Itsuki asked bluntly.
"Whaaaaa-" Unexpectedly, it backfired.
"See? I told you it wouldn't work." Keita said.
"Keita! How could you be so calm at times like this?!" Ayumi screamed internally.
"I see..." Itsuki walked back to his seat.
"I need to do something..." Ayumi thought as classes began. During lunch break, she messaged Itsuki.
"I need you to get out of the classroom and meet me near the staircase to the rooftop. DO NOT TELL KEITA." Ayumi sent.
"Huh, what...? I guess I'll go get myself a drink. Do you need something?" Itsuki casually asked.
"No, I don't need anything." Keita replied.
"Alright, I'll get something real quick." Itsuki said. After a while, Ayumi also leaves the classroom.
"I rarely see you leave the classroom at times like this." Keita asked.
"Huh?! What? Why are you talking to me?" Ayumi is surprised.
"You're acting weirdly. Is there anything happened that you think I shouldn't be talking to you?" Keita asked.
"Uh nothing! I need to leave now!" Ayumi runs off.
"Weird..." Keita muttered as he walks back to his seat. A girl he doesn't know is sitting on it.
"Excuse me, you're on my seat." Keita said.
"Oh, you could see me. I'm Yukimura Mayoi, a member of the student council." Mayoi introduced herself.
"What kind of question is this? You're a senpai are you?" Keita judged.
"Ahaha... It's been a complex of mine for having little to none presence. Well yes, I'm a senpai of yours. In fact, the secretary of the student council." Mayoi replied.
"So what do you need from me?" Keita asked.
"Ah, I think you should already know who our president." Mayoi asked.
"Yes I do." Keita responded.
"Our president would like to include you as a part of our student council." Mayoi explained.
"Woah... That's a big request you're asking here." Keita reacted.
"It could be sudden, I do not know what our president saw in you, I'm just here to invite you in behalf of our president. Please consider it." Mayoi said as she leaves the classroom.
"Huh... There she goes..." Keita spotted her disappearing after passing through the door.
"Those two are really suspicious." Keita muttered as he returns to his seat to read.
"Okay... This looks fishy, could you just tell me what is this?" Itsuki said.
"S-shut up! It's because of you!" Ayumi said.
"Is this about the what you did with Keita problem?" Itsuki asked.
"Y-yes..." Ayumi admitted.
"I see... Please go on." Itsuki said calmly.
"Can you keep secrets?" Ayumi asked.
"Don't know if I can, but I do have a lot of secrets." Itsuki said.
"I don't trust you, but I need someone to help me." Ayumi said.
"I see, I'll do my best." Itsuki said solemnly.
"... I see. Actually, I..." Ayumi went on and said what she wanted to tell Itsuki. Itsuki's expressions changed as she tells him her secret.
"I see... It's not quite a convincing story you've got there... But I can feel why you feel that way." Itsuki said.
"..." Ayumi's face is all red.
"Hey, don't be like that you know? I'll try my best to help you this time okay?" Itsuki convinces.
"I know already! I'm going back first!" Ayumi walks back. Being as observant as Itsuki, he cleared a few suspicions about Ayumi, the reasons of some of her actions now seemed apparent to him.
"Poor girl... Guess I have to help her out then." Itsuki said as he slowly strolls back to his classroom.
"The student council huh... What could I possibly caught the president's attention to the point that she wants me to be a part of it?" Keita ponders. As soon he looked at the entrance, Ayumi returned to the classroom.
"Oh, you returned." Keita approached Ayumi.
"Eeek!" Ayumi is startled.
"What's the matter?" Keita asked.
"N-nothing! Go back to your seat idiot!" Ayumi pushed Keita aside and quickly runs back to her seat. She hides her face with her arms, trying to hide her bright red face.
"I guess she's not in the mood right now..." Keita sighs.
Suddenly, both Keita and Ayumi's phone rings a notification.
"Shall we head to M's after school? I feel like hanging out there, OK?" Itsuki sent a message to both Keita and Ayumi.
"Sure" Keita replied.
"What are you trying to do?" Ayumi replied.
"Well... I'm gonna ditch you guys after a while, so take your time!" Itsuki replied.
"Sigh... Guess I should appreciate his help for a bit I think..." Ayumi sighed.
