Noa heads to his 3rd period classroom while searching for Hiro. When he looks inside the class there's no one there. Walking out of the class he can hear Hiro's voice.
He turns the corner and by the staircase there Hiro is facing the away from Noa. As Noa approaches he starts to call out to him. However he sees Hiro move in and embrace someone.
- Are they making out?
He quickly realizes that he is with someone and tries hide around the corner knowing that he shouldn't have been there.
But Hiro calls out to him.
Hiro: "Noa, wait up."
Noa waits however, adrenaline is kicking in from being caught and his nerves crash.
Hiro walks up to Noa who is petrified from this shock.
Hiro: "Noa?"
Noa tries to say something but can't. His mind is racing at 100 miles per hour.
Hiro: "Please, don't tell anyone what you saw here."
Noa comes back to his senses. "You really think I'd do something thing like that? Your secret is safe with me buddy. Besides I don't know anyone at this school and I wouldn't tell your sister.
Kazu and I were just worried that you would miss lunch so I came to bring it to you. I'm sorry for intruding, please forgive me."
Hiro: "You say that but I still want to talk it out. Let's meet up after school. What's your last period class?"
After Noa tells him which class to go to he apologizes again and heads back to the courtyard.
- Here I was getting all worried about Hiro for nothing. He was just busy getting with a girl.
Noa starts laughing to himself.
- Hiro sure did sound serious, why he was acting so strange. I wonder what he wants to talk about after class.
When Noa arrives he tells Kazumi that everything is fine and that Hiro got his lunch.
Later Noa arrives early to his 5th period class and picks a seat at the far corner of the classroom.
Ayako walks in aswell she sees Noa then heads towards Noa's direction
- Ayako is early today, is she coming over? I thought she hated me after yesterday.
Ayako: "Noa?"
Noa: "Y-yes?"
Ayako: "I want to apologize for yesterday.I wanted you to know that you didn't do anything wrong. When I thought you were with Kazumi I thought that maybe I would have a chance. But never mind that.
I shouldn't have taken my frustrations out on you when all you ever been is kind to me. I truly hope you can forgive me and that we can someday become friends."
Noa: "Ofcourse we can be friends I'm not mad at all. I am the one who should be apologizing for bothering you in the first place.
It wasn't my intention to burden you."
Ayako: "You know what let's put this all behind us and start over. Besides we were never officially introduced.
Hi, my name is Ayako Hoshino you call me Ayako or Aya for short, nice to meet you."
Noa: "Noa Imai, I prefer just Noa. The pleasure is mine."
Ayako: "I guess I should grab a seat before class starts."
