The three girls are walking together in the hallway to head home after Chi had finished communicating things out with Jetroharu.
"I guess we ended up resorting to apologizing to him." Jana said.
"Maybe he's different from the other delinquent guys after all." Rain tries to change her mind after hearing what Chi said about their conversation.
"Again, that's why I like him. " Chi smiles as she looks at the direction she's walking.
While their steps took forward heading downstairs, Jana looked at her side where she could see the campus ground. Upon looking, she noticed someone familiar as she squinted her eyes to take a clearer look
"Hey, wait, is that Jetroharu talking to a girl?"
The other two girls also stopped. Chi's eyes widened.
"Huh? He is? Who is he talking to?" Her eyes immediately pointed to the direction of which Jana was looking.
"Isn't that -"
Jana and Rain stared at each other after realizing who the person was.
-
"Me and him?" Nikee didn't know what the question was for, she was left dumbfounded by her sudden appearance.
"Yes. Why are you with him? I saw you giving something to him. " Chi looks at her earnestly with eyes glaring straight right onto her.
Reading Chi's expression, Nikee remembered what Jetroharu had told him.
"That girl likes me. I am uncomfortable around pretty people."
She got annoyed remembering it because after that statement, he told her that he prefers to study with her because she's a plain ass nerd.
"What did you give him?"
Just from these words alone, Nikee realized that she seemed to like him alot but she doesn't understand why this concerns her.
"Those are my notes. He asked me for it."
She knew it's not what Jetroharu asked for but the notes were written by her so she thought that would also work as studying with him.
"Notes? He asked you for your notes?" Chi's eyebrow furrowed from the thought of it.
"If that's all that you want to talk about, then I'm going-"
Chi pulled her arm as she was not answering her question properly.
"How did you guys get close that he asked you about that? Are you even telling the truth?" Her eyes were scowling in disbelief.
"We were never close. He should be the one you're asking about that, not me. "
Nike shoved her hands away from her grip and passed by them when Chi made the way open without noticing because her mind suddenly became deserted.
"She's right, Chi. We shouldn't trust her after all, so we should just ask Jetroharu" Jana looked at her.
"It's kinda weird, too. This is the first time I see them talking to each other." Rain said while looking at the both of them confused.
Chi's eyes we're still fixed on the floor while mulling over the idea of Nikee lending her notes to him for the first time.

As soon as Jetroharu got home and saw how welcoming the bed was for his tired body, he immediately threw himself on it after removing the bag from his back.
"Ah." He was looking at the ceiling as the mushy futon embraced his exhausted body.
"Instead of thinking that way, why not just prove to her that you are nothing like what she thinks of you ?"
Jetroharu smirked from remembering the words Kazu had given him, he knew well what it meant, he knew well it would mean that he had to impress her to prove her wrong.
"Me? Impressing her? I don't even like that nerd to begin with."
"She'll definitely regret her first impression of you and that will ease your hurt ego."
He continues to stare onto the ceiling pondering about what his friend meant. "Damn it." He rose from his bed and sat as he folded his legs. He took his bag beside him and opened it. The extra notes she gave him appeared right away just after he had zippered it open.
"How am I supposed to study this with just myself?" He looked at it in dismay.
-
Meanwhile, Kazu is laid down on his bed, teary-eyed while laughing his ass off as he watches something on his phone.
His laughter was interrupted when a notification came up on his screen, a message from someone he wanted to ignore.
"Tsk. What is his problem now?" He just slides the notification away.
"Anyways", he continued the disrupted laughing session, but the moment he slid it off, another new message popped up, when he did it again, new messages kept appearing.
"This guy seriously-". He tried to read the message from the notification.
Oi, I know you're seeing my messages on your notifications right now. Why are you not replying!? You're watching lewd stuff right now aren't you?
"Man, what a pain in the ass. Just because I'm bitchless doesn't mean I watch it often. " Everytime Jetroharu ignores his messages, this is what he always says and it's been proven effective in taking Kazu's attention.
He tapped on the notification to see what he's all worked up about.
Have I ever told you that she just gave me her notes then she just ran away? How am I supposed to understand this shit alone?
-
"Why is this blockhead ain't replying?-"
After dozens of spams, Kazu had finally noticed him and received a reply.
Ask for her social media account.
"Ask for her account!? This dude got screw loose or something!?"
Jetroharu replied to him immediately but after a few minutes of waiting, he never received any message.
"Freaking reply, idiot. "
He waited and was left hanging all night.
-
New morning took place, Jetroharu had come early looking like he wasn't able to have a good sleep overthinking of the next plan he should do. Although he appears to lack sleep, he was eager to find that person among the sea of students walking with him.
When he activated his eagle eyes as he raised the heel of both of his feet, he had finally found his target and ran as fast as he could to chase the only spiky haired guy among the normal hairs of students surrounding him. It's like finding a pufferfish surrounded by tunas.
As this guy walks peacefully yawning as he goes to the entrance, he suddenly felt something heavy weighing on his shoulder.
"Hey, Kazu. "
His eyes widened from the chilling voice.
"I see that you left my messages unseen last night." A scary aura came out from the angry man beside him and engulfed Kazu the moment this man side eyes him with a strong glare.
"Ah, that. I suddenly slept, so I forgot to reply.-" Kazu was shaken up.
"You're making excuses now?" He leered as his grip get more firm on Kazu's shoulder.
"Ah!" Kazu had found his way out of this situation and pointed to a certain direction.
"Isn't that Nikee? Let's go ask for her account now!" He ran immediately to escape but Jetroharu was able to reach for his arm before he could move forward. His anger had cooled down when her name was mentioned, instead it left him disconcerted.
"Are you in your right mind right now!? Didn't you understand what I messaged you yesterday!?"
He shoved Jetroharu's hand and moved both of his hands onto his shoulder.
"Look. We're asking for it because you need her help."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to ask for her account. Didn't you know what that shit means?"
Kazu withdrew his hands on his in confusion.
"You're putting an issue on this? You said you don't like her, but why are you thinking that asking for her account equates to that?"
"No. We're talking about what she thinks of it, not the other way around."
"Dude, you can't be kidding me. How could she think of it that way? We're clarifying that it's nothing like that- "
"I don't need her account. I need her to study with me." Jetroharu had found his resolve. He's not doing something she can easily misinterpret.
Jetroharu walks past him leaving Kazu at a loss for words.
"He's really damn hopeless." He whispered to himself.
"Fine. If you say so." He follows him from behind knowing damn well Jetroharu won't be able to keep his words.

The classroom as usual is filled with noises from students talking about topics unrelated to school. Amidst the clamor, Nikee is the only one who finds herself at peace while minding her own business as she listens to the music from her earphones.
She was reading the notes written on her notebook, seemingly unbothered, but this disappeared when a tall assertive guy suddenly interrupted her solitude.
"Oi, Mickey. These extra notes of yours aren't helpful at all. " A pile of paper covered the notebook she was reading. As soon as she looked up who the person was, her morning was ruined.
All the students turned their heads to their direction due to Jetroharu's loud voice echoing in the room. The whole class' attention suddenly gravitates toward them as they can see the tension between the two. Chi was also not an exception.
"If you want to make those notes useful, then go teach it to me. "
Nikee looked at him unforeseen from his action. She never thought he could talk to her like that in front of the class. The minute Kazu had seen Jetroharu coming to her unprovoked, he walked towards them to prevent any more confusion.
"Ah, Nikee, please excuse us for a sec. "
Kazu pulled him away in front of her.
"Dude, what are you doing? We should be talking to her alone, not in front of our classmates." He told him in a low voice because the students were eavesdropping.
"I don't think we'll be able to settle it when we talk alone. So I'm taking this rare opportunity now that she's here and the teacher isn't. Who knows? She might be going everywhere again."
He walked away in front of Kazu to head back at Nikee who's caught off guard, she tries to not mind the attention and focus back on studying.
"Oi, don't go back there, calm your nerves first." Kazu was panicking again.
When Jetroharu was about to go back to talk to Nikee, Wei had arrived in the room and saw the agitated atmosphere. He checked where this was coming from and saw that they were looking at Jetroharu and Nikee's direction. The view he saw made him uneasy as Nikee looked like she was feeling uncomfortable. He suddenly dashed towards them and blocked Jetroharu's way.
"Oi, Jetro, stop that." He tapped his hand onto Jetroharu's chest.
"The class rep's busy, you should talk to her after class." Wei's icy-cold gaze pierced through his senses. He wondered where this look in his eyes was coming from.
