"Well, I'll be going now, I have to go and study my lessons!" Ryuji exclaimed.
Kaeri, Chiho, the girls of the group and the other boys watched with surprise as he walked away from them to join Hana in front of her desk. She hadn't finished putting her things away yet, and the young man waited a few minutes until she had everything together in her bag.
Then, once she got up, she walked towards the front door of the classroom to go out into the hallway and join the flow of students already leaving the other classes; closely followed by Ryuji. The boys still present also decided it was time to leave, ready to head to the arcade to set new high scores.
The girls in the small group, still massed at the side of the classroom, waited until the other students had left to express their displeasure.
"She's really unbelievable," said one of the girls in the group. "She's playing the untouchable girl just to get the boys in her pocket!"
