"Ah, school is finally over! We can throw a small celebration for Nite!"
Kiara stated gleefully while stretching her limbs out.
"We can have some food, finally!"
Keiji cheer and Kiara only look at him with scowl on her face.
"What?"
He raise a brow and Kiara only scoff before turning her attention away from Keiji causing the blonde to pop some vein.
'This girl… Ah! How annoying!'
Keiji grit his teeth and glare daggers at his twin while Nite only look at them as the three of them walk together.
"It's just unfortunate that Aoi can't come with us."
Kiara said as her shoulders drop and a sigh escapes her lips.
"She was the one who plan the welcome party and the one who's looking forward to it the most, yet she couldn't come."
She added with another sigh escaping her lips.
"We can't help it, something important came up and her presence is a must about it."
Gloomy aura surrounds Kiara upon hearing Keiji's words and another sigh escapes her lips.
"Stop sulking, cheer up. It's not like we won't see her again tomorrow."
Keiji said while Nite only watch them two while letting his-self lost in his own thoughts.
'I wonder what did happen… It seems to be an important and urgent matter.'
Keiji continue comforting Kiara as they reach the entrance of the school building and changed their indoor shoes to their outside shoes.
"Why don't we just celebrate tomorrow then, since Aoi is not present?"
Nite said causing Kiara's gloomy aura to disappear.
"Really? Would that be okay for you?"
Kiara ask as she pop out beside the shoe locker and Nite only nod his head at her question.
"And besides, she's the host, and a party that doesn't have the host will be boring."
Nite added as he finish changing his shoes.
"Well, that's true. But would that really be okay to you? We can celebrate today and tomorrow as well, you know."
Keiji respond, closing his shoe locker.
"Yeah, I'm okay with it."
Nite nod his head and leave the shoe locker.
"It's settle then! We'll have the celebration tomorrow and since tomorrow is also the final last day off club recruitment. And maybe, there's still some students who wants to join, you know."
Kiara smile as the three of them head to the school gate.
"I doubt that."
Keiji mutter under his breath which Kiara heard and glare daggers at him causing him to avert his eyes away from his twin and look to the opposite side.
"What was that, dear brother?"
Keiji felt a shiver run down his spine when he heard her menacing voice and shake his head vigorously.
"Really? But I heard something from you, really. What was it?"
Kiara smile 'sweetly' at Keiji while the said boy refuse to have an eye-contact with his twin.
Nite only watch the twins with a blank face before turning his attention back to the direction where they're heading to and saw a familiar figure outside the school gates causing him to make a halt.
"Isn't that Aoi?"
The twins stop in their tracks and turn their attention to where Nite was looking and saw Aoi standing outside the school gate as if she's waiting for someone.
"Aoi-
Kiara couldn't finish her name when she felt a shiver run down her spine and Keiji also felt it the moment she notice the dark expression the brown haired girl is wearing.
'W-What's with t-that expression…? I-It's my first time s-s-seeing that e-expression.'
The twin thought in sync as cold sweats run down their nape while Nite only stood still, looking at Aoi who is still wearing a dark expression. Her lips form a thin line, her eyes filled with blankness, yet fearful.
'For the past years that I've been classmates with Aoi, I've never seen her make that kind of face. And based on Kiara and Keiji's reaction, I guess this is also their first name seeing this expression of hers.'
Nite look at the twin in the corner of her eyes before looking back to Aoi, not bothered by the expression she's wearing.
'It's not like I haven't seen that kind of expression before. I already saw that expression too many times already, I'm used to it.'
Nite was unfazed as he continue looking at the brown haired girl who's currently on her phone.
But his brows crunched when he notice how her dark expression was replaced with a sad one when she remove her phone from her ear.
'What…?'
He saw her heave out a sigh before a black car stops in front of her and she stilled for a moment, looking at the car before finally entering it.
The twins was snap out of their thoughts by Nite snapping his fingers at their face after the black car drive off.
"Let's go home, it's starting to get late."
Nite told them before turning on his heels.
"A-Aoi… W-What about A-Aoi? Where is she?"
Kiara ask, her voice quivering a little.
"It's okay, it's nothing at all."
Nite said before walking away, but before he could reach the school gate, he turn around one more time to face the twins who is still in daze.
"You should get used to Aoi wearing that kind of expression, or else you'll get a cold feet every time you see her wearing that."
