╭───── (🍵)

'I'M REALLY HUNGRY' KEIKO THOUGHT, Keiko Mochizuki, 16 years old, she was walking down the busy streets as she was lost in thought 'It's a shame Saiki couldn't walk with me tonight. Oh well he probably just want's to be alone' she thought.

She crossed the road only to encounter Yumehara and Teruhashi, the three seemed to have bumped into each other coincidentally, the three said each others names as a greeting but it was awkward since the three never really hung out together. The three decided to go into the cafe they all stood in front.

They sat down at a table together, the ginger and bluenette sat together while the green haired sat opposite them "It's the first time we've all seen each other outside of school." Yumehara said.

"You're right. Although me and Mochizuki have bumped into each other a few times, isn't that right?" Teruhashi asked, looking towards the girl she mentioned.

Keiko smiled and sipped on her green tea "Aha yes, quite a few times, but we are usually with others, we've never really spent time alone."

Yumehara glanced around the cafe "I guess you two come to these places too."

"Yes, I come here sometimes to study or read." Teruhashi replied.

Keiko glanced up at the two "Oh, I don't usually come to this cafe, I only came because of the invite." the three then went into a awkward silence as they sipped on their drinks. 'I may be friends with Yumehara but with Teruhashi here I'm not really sure what to say without her feeling left out.'

The three raised their heads and tried speaking at the same time but paused leaving them in a awkward silence again, Yumehara then cleared her throat and spoke "Oh, our class trip is coming up soon, right?"

"We're going to Okinawa, right? I'm so excited." Teruhashi excitedly replied.

"So am I, I love the beaches there, it's so nice and warm." Keiko added. 'that reminds me, I should ask Saiki if he's going'

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Yumehara thought, now thinking about Saiki and spending three days with him.

"Me, too." Teruhashi was also thinking about spending three days with Saiki, whereas Keiko was thinking about the food that was going to be there.

Keiko seemed to notice that the two were blushing and sighing at their thoughts something about "If only..."

"Are you two okay?" Keiko asked, they snapped out of it and then looked at each other.

"Were you thinking about something?" Yumehara asked Teruhashi.

"No? Nothing! Were you?" she replied, now raising her hands defensively, Yumehara also gave the same expression, they then both looked towards Keiko "What about you? Were you thinking of something?" Teruhashi asked.

Keiko gave them a confused look "Uh, no?" she replied, the three then sipped their drinks again until Yumehara spoke up.

"Is there anybody you two have a crush on?" she asked suddenly, Teruhashi spat out her drink and her hair went wild while Keiko only glanced up and gave the girl a concerned look.

"No, not anyone in particular." Keiko replied, the two then noticed that based on Teruhashi's reaction, she liked someone.

"There is!" Yumehara shouted out in delight.

"No, there isn't!" Teruhashi replied defensively "It was so out of the blue that I was just surprised."

"But Mochizuki reacted calmly? But I guess it makes sense. You don't look like the type to worry about romance." Yumehara stated.

Teruhashi dabbed her mouth with a napkin before smiling "Do you have a crush on anyone?"

Surprisingly Yumehara didn't panic of get defensive, her cheeks went red and she looked away "Well, I do."

Keiko gave her a glance, she knew that Yumehara and her previous boyfriend broke up because of his personality and she knew that the only person the girl liked was previously Saiki 'It better not be Saiki again, I thought I told her to move on so her heart wouldn't get broken'

"Oh, who?" Teruhashi inquired.

"It's a secret." Yumehara replied.

"Is it someone in our class?"

"Yes." Teruhashi made a strange noise after hearing that reply and seemed desperate to know.

"Teruhashi, she might not be comfortable with saying." Keiko told her.

The blue haired girl was sipping on her drink until she heard the girl next to her mutter the words "Saiki..." she spat out her drink once again demanding what she just said, "I broke up with someone recently, and..."

Teruhashi gave a forced laugh "Oh, I misheard!"

"He's someone I had a crush on before I started dating my ex." Yumehara said then glanced at Keiko "Mochizuki, should know. She helped me with it before..." Keiko sighed 'She'll get her heart hurt again'

"So, there actually is someone I've been thinking about." Teruhashi pointed out, this time Keiko gave her a surprised look while Yumehara spat out her drink this time.

Yumehera's eyes shone like stars and she leaped towards the girls face in excitement "No way! Who? A classmate? Our school? Is he French?"

"Yumehara calm down, she can't answer you if your smothering her." Keiko said, pushing her away from the girl.

Yumehara calmed down and looked at Teruhashi "I wonder who it is? There are lots of boys around you, so it's hard to guess."

"What? That's not true. The last time I hung out with boys was with Keiko on New Year's Day when we went to Saiki's place with Hairo and others." she told as Yumehara once again spat out her drink.

"Oh, I see." both of the girls then questioned about Saiki and if they both had a crush on Saiki but tried to act calm about it.

Little did they know that in the booth next to them sat Saiki, Kaidou and Nendou. Saiki needed to stop whatever was going to happen so he didn't have two annoying girls following him around.

As the three girls drank something flung over the other booth and landed on their table "Sorry, I dropped something." I recognizable voice could be heard.

"Nendou, is that you?" Keiko asked.

"Wow greeny and Teruhashi!" the three girls then looked up from the booth and saw that Saiki and Kaidou were sitting there with him. The two girls who had a crush on Saiki's eyes widened as they realized he was there this whole time, they then looked at each other to see that they were blushing and they were now sure that they both liked Saiki.

Saiki then used his powers to knock Kaidou into Yumehara "Oh, sorry!" he cried out, Yumehara's cheeks were redder than before now making Teruhashi believe she liked the boy.

Saiki then dragged Nendou to bump into Teruhashi and now her cheeks were more red making Yumehara think that Teruhashi's crush was Nendou.

But where's Mochizuki? Saiki then felt someone knock into his shoulder "Oh, Saiki I'm sorry. I didn't mean to knock into you." Saiki's eyes widened and he turned to see that Keiko was standing behind him, her cheeks red from embarrassment.

Teruhashi and Yumehara saw that the girl was blushing when she stood near Saiki 'Wait her cheeks are red' they both thought 'does that mean... Mochizuki likes Saiki!' they both watched in horror as Keiko smiled timidly at Saiki.

Good grief. I think I've just made things worse.
