Miku's POV

Miku and Luka arrive at school. They try to catch their breath before calling Ia back. Suddenly, one of the bushes rustle.

"Psst! Over here!" Ia whispers as she pokes her head from out the bush. We sneak over next to her.

"Get down and follow me." Ia says. She begins crawling to the back of the school.

"What are we doing here?" I ask.

"Just wait. You'll see soon..." Ia whispers as she laughs maniacally to herself. We wait for a couple of minutes. Nothing happens.

"How much longer do we wait? Class is about to start." Luka says as she stands up straight.

"Um...Until lunch."

"......I'm heading in." She says, expressionless.

"Eh?! B-But!"

"I'll be back when lunch starts. See ya!" Luka leaves. I get up and follow behind.

"W-Wait!! You guys--"

~Time Skip~

"Mm...." I place my chin in my palm and stare blankly at the teacher. Ugh. I can barely stay awake. I should've gone to bed earlier...Maybe I should just...close my eyes...for...a little...zzZ...

"Hatsune!!" Sensei slams a book on top of my desk. I jump in surprise.

"If you're going to sleep in my class, at least don't make it obvious." She crosses her arms as she glares down at me. My face grows red. The whole class is staring in my direction. I look over to where Len is sitting. Our eyes meet for a split second. He averts his gaze and looks back at his open book. I look back at the teacher as she waits for my response.

"S...Sorry." I whisper shyly at her. She takes the book from my desk and walks back to the front. I stayed awake for the rest of class. Not because of how embarrassed I was that sensei caught me sleeping, but because of how close I was to having a heart attack when she slammed that book on my desk. I swear, it's like I saw a glimpse of heaven when I woke up. Oh well. The bell rung and it's lunch time now. I take the bento from inside my desk and walk over to Luka's desk. I glance over at Len's desk only to find that he's already gone. Huh. I wonder where he went...

Suddenly, the doors slam open. Ia walks in panting. She takes hold of both of our arms and starts running down the halls. "W-Wait a minute, Ia!" I beg. "Where are we going?!" Luka asks, nearly tumbling down the stairs. "You'll see!" She says with a toothy grin placed on her face.

Gumi's POV

I place my hand over my heart to try and calm down. Breathing in and out, I slowly make my way up the stairs. My eyes catch len, outside the window; Right in the place I requested. My face grows red.

I...I can do this!

I turn back around and jog to the place he is. I can't mess this up. Even if he does say no, at least I got to tell him.
