This is Hikari's pov from the previous chapter.
*On her way to school.
'Sigh... my only cigarettes have been confiscated. If I buy another one, how much money do I have left? I don't want to be a burden to my parents.' Hikari was having an internal conflict.
"Hikari-chan, what's with the tight face? Do you have any problem?" Miyu was a delicate and caring person. She can spot even a little change in her bestfriend behaviour.
"Nothing, hehe."
'There's no way I'd tell her that I want to buy cigarettes. She would start nagging like a granny.'
"Look, isn't that Minamoto Kazuya." Miyu pointed her finger at him who's just crossing the streets.
'Huh, he's the guy who confiscated my cigarettes yesterday right? So his name is Minamoto Kazuya huh. Interesting name ngl.'
"What's with him? You interested?" Hikari wondered why Miyu suddenly mentioning him. As what she remember, Miyu never talked about any men related topic before.
"Eh, why me? Weren't you the one interested in him instead?" Miyu blindly jumped into conclusion.
"No way! I don't even know his name. How can I get interested in someone whom I don't know their name?" Hikari strongly denied.
"But yesterday you kept staring at him though."
"How did you know I was staring him? I might be staring at the people behind him."
"But Hikari-chan, his seat is at the back of the class and even sitting beside the window. Plus, there's no one else there except him who rarely move from his desk." Her logical reasoning scared Hikari.
"Jeez, Miyu-chan... why can't you be this sharp whenever I'm not around so that you wouldn't have to rely on me everytime."
"Hey, I never ask for your help. I've told you that I'm fine. I'm not a child anymore and I can solve the problem by myself." Miyu pouted as she was triggered by Hikari's word just now.
"Hehe, okay okay, I too want to see how you 'SOLVE' the problem yourself. By crying out loud maybe?" Hikari continuously teasing her. She successfully distracted Miyu by changing the topic.
"No... I won't cry. Like I said, I'm already a teenager so please treat me like one, understand?"
"Okay~"
Both of them entered the school together.
*In the class
"Junji-sensei's class is so boring..." She muttered.
She looked at her right. Miyu seemingly too focus on studying. As expected of the no.1 student. She then took a peek at the back, Kazuya had landed on his desk, couldn't fight the urge to sleep.
'Seriously, there's not a single time where I see him not being passive.'
"Next period is math and Miss Nakamura will be teaching right?"
The quiet Junji-sensei suddenly ask a very obvious question. He never interacted with the students during class what more asking a question randomly.
"I have a task to give to you students that is don't wake Kazuya up."
Junji-sensei's request staggering the whole class.
"But why, sensei?" One of the students spoke up.
"Nothing particular. It is intended to punish him for sleeping in my class. I've always been watching him and 90% of his time spent during my class was sleeping. I'm in my 50 so I don't have the guts to take action instead I'll pass the job to the younger one."
All the students were glued in silence. They didn't know what's more shocking. The fact that he's talking this much or the way he punishes his student.
"Haha you're really funny Kazuya." Hikari couldn't hold her laugh. She decided to know more about him and befriending him if possible.
