- I knew it was going to be awkward but I didn't think it would be this rough.
Noa and his friends diligently studying in silence. Ayako sits in the far right corner while Hiro is on the opposite end. Kazumi and Noa also sit across from eachother.
- The tension is so high it's almost suffocating. Maybe I should say something. Just then Nayumi walks in.
She notices that Noa has friends with him which puts a smile on her face.
Nayumi: "Hi Noa, sorry I've been so busy. I see you've made up with your friends!"
Noa: "Shinotomo Senpai y-yeah I did. Hey guys, this is the person I was telling you about. Thanks to her I'm caught up on makeup work. Let me introduce to..."
Before he could finish his sentence they all blurt out. "Student council president Nayumi Shinotomo!?!?"
Noa: "Huh?"
Kazumi: "She's the student council president she's top of her class"
Ayako: "I heard you were rank among the highest in the nation on some subjects."
Hiro: "It's no wonder you finished your makeup work so fast."
- So that's why she's super smart, she's actually a genius student council member.
Noa: "I didn't realize you were in the student council."
- No wonder she's always busy.
Noa: "Let me introduce you to my friends. Kazumi Kazu for short, Ayako also answers to Aya and we all call him Hiro."
Nayami: "Hello everyone it's nice to make your acquaintance. May I ask what you all are working on at this moment?"
- She seems so elegant all of the sudden.
Noa: "We're all sort of working on our own thing."
Nayumi: "That seems to defeat the purpose of a study group. You really should work together. What your weakest subjects?"
They all respond with thier 3 worst subjects.
Nayami: "Alright it seems like we have some main subjects we should put our focus on."
They begin to study with the help of Nayami.
- Nayami saved us, now everyone's taking to oneanother. Even Hiro and Ayako are talking again. I'm glad it all worked out.
The week after the exams. Noa and his friends wait for Nayumi in the courtyard.
Noa: "I managed to get a passing scores in Japanese."
Kazumi: "Yay, does that means we get to hangout?"
Noa: "What do you mean? Aren't we always hanging out."
Ayako: "I think she's talking about out side of school silly."
Kazumi: "Aya-chan gets it, we should celebrate with some karaoke you could even invite the student council president."
Nayumi: "You know you don't have to keep calling me that. Nayumi is fine."
Kazumi: "I'm sorry it's a force of habit."
Nayumi: "What were you guys taking about?"
Kazumi: "We were just thinking hanging out off campus."
Nayumi: "Sounds like a fun time..."
Noa notices the sad look Nayumi had as she spoke those hallow words.
- Does she feel left out?
Noa: "Y-eah we were just saying that we should invite you to come with us."
Nayumi: "I can't go I have to be somewhere after school."
Nao: "Ok then maybe some other time?"
Nayumi said as she smiles however her eyes tell a different story.
