After being confronted like that, Aya walks around the school mindlessly while thinking to herself, "Naoki sure is popular..." while looking down at the floor.
Until she suddenly spots Naoki from a distance in front of his class in the hallway, talking with a bunch of girls. Aya decided to just walk fast past by him while avoiding eye contact and Naoki catches that.
"What the-" Naoki quickly turns his head to look at Aya, tries to reach her but the girls around him preventing him to do so.
After school, Naoki, Tetsu, Ryu, and Hirofumi gathering around in the Student Council President Room to wait for Aya's extracurricular activities as Naoki pacing around with his hand holding his chin.
"Why is she avoiding me?" Naoki suddenly asks to the rest of them. "What is she doing? Did i do something wrong?" Naoki adds with a very confused look on his face.
"Your fangirls going crazy these days. She's scared of them." Tetsu answers with a playful chuckle.
"What a pain. I was just being nice to them and now they're acting like they're entitled to me." Naoki scratches his head in frustration. But then, Ryu suddenly adds a revelation to the conversation.
"Some girls told her to stay away from you." Ryu says that got the rest of their ears perked up.
"What are you saying?"
"What do you mean?"
"Who said that to her?"
Naoki, Hirofumi, and Tetsu asks in order while staring at Ryu. Ryu still smiling devilishly and can't stop giggling.
"It was Akina and Mai from our class, Naoki. They asked her why did you reject Yurisa yesterday. And asked her about your type and stuff." Ryu explains.
"How do you know that?" Hirofumi asks Ryu in curiosity.
"I overheard them this noon." Ryu says calmly. "But the most important part is the truest part about Akina's words that i couldn't disagree." Ryu adds.
"What's that?" Naoki asks again.
"Akina said that Aya looks good with me or Tetsu. Haha." Ryu laughs in satisfaction while covering his blushing face, having his eyes piercing at Naoki.
"Don't piss me off, asshole. Aya isn't exclusively looks good with you. It's with all of us. Don't get ahead of yourself over some bitch's words. You're pathetic if that's your source of validation." Naoki says aggressively to Ryu while getting all up on Ryu's face with a glare in his eyes.
"I'm just saying, if that's how other people sees Aya with me, then I'm all for it." Ryu adds while still with the same smirk.
"Hehe. So that's what people think of us, huh?" Tetsu in the back smiling wickedly as well and nods in agreement from Akina's words that delivered by Ryu.
"I said don't piss me off!" Naoki shoves Ryu's bigger body effortlessly while Ryu chuckles again. Naoki then pacing around again while clenching his fists, in attempt to calm himself down.
"That Akina and Mai bitches... they better be careful with what they say next." Naoki mutters to himself in his pace.
"Then why is she avoiding me too?" Hirofumi suddenly asks in confusion to the rest of them. Ryu shrugs his shoulders.
"I mean, technically, she's avoiding all of us because we're always together." Ryu says.
"She thinks she can avoid me forever?" Naoki mutters to himself loudly while breaking the pen in his hand. The rest of them have the same eyes as Naoki's.
Naoki quickly takes out his phone and calls Suzu. "Oi, Suzu. You have more work to do tomorrow." Naoki says to Suzu through the phone call.
Once Aya's extracurricular activities are done, the guys waiting for her on the front gate of the school while speaking to themselves. Aya spots them from a distance, and doesn't approach them in instance. Instead, Aya runs away from them very fast past the gate and the boys that got them gasp in shock.
"What the- hey! Wait!"
They quickly run after Aya, but Aya runs way faster than them and has been since they were kids. Even outrunning the school athlete Ryu.
"Aya, you! Hey!!" Naoki shouts aggressively at Aya from behind her. They were far away from Aya, and Ryu the closest one with Aya but still can't get to her.
Aya manages to get to her house without any of the guys managed to get to her. They all left frustrated at Aya's sudden escape from them.
"I won't let you get away next time, Aya..." Naoki mutters to himself while clenching his fists, glaring at Aya's bedroom on the second floor from Aya's front house along with Ryu, Tetsu, and Hirofumi.
Aya did manage to get away from them, but her phone quickly bombarded by their constant calls and texts that she has to shut off her phone completely and then hiding herself in her room for the rest of the day.
