"Hey, do you have a minute?"
As we called it a day at the Manga Club and all got up to head home, Eri tapped on my shoulder from behind to talk to me.
"Sure"
Gina was a few steps ahead of us. She turned back and saw Eri trying to talk to me, and she just said 'I'll catch you guys later' and paced off.
"Let's go talk somewhere"
I wasn't sure why we had to go somewhere to talk when everybody else had left now and we were by ourselves, but seeing that Eri made the effort to approach me first after that awkward confrontation earlier I thought I'd just go along with what she suggested.
Without saying anything, we walked quietly through the empty hallways of the school building, reached the staircase at the far end, and climbed up until we reached the door leading out to the rooftop.
"Do you mind?"
