Yosuke's POV:

Okay... Final class is over and done with. Now all I need to do is head to the food court...

Head to the food court and hope Yu catches the memo...

Especially since school doesn't seem like a good enough place for him to be...

"Hanamura?"

I turn my head. "Oh. Hey, Ichijo, Nagase. Practice not on today?"

"Is... Narukami in?" Ichijo asks.

"...No," I sigh.

"I... I see."

"Why?" I say. "I doubt he's missing anything important in basketball."

"The hell's that mean?" He frowns.

"So... I'm guessing you don't know?" Nagase scoffs.

"Don't know?" I mutter. "Don't know what?"

"Dude, shut up..." Ichijo groans.

"Narukami is pissed at you."

"...What?" I frown.

"Jesus, Daisuke," Ichijo grumbles.

"...Did... Did he say why?" I ask.

"Somethin' to do with you hanging out with all the girls at lunch yesterday," he chuckles. "He flipped, man. Started callin' you all the names under the sun."

Yu...? Jealous?

So... He does still like girls, right?

But... Come on. Yu would never badmouth me. I know that.

"Bullshit," I scoff.

"Eh?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"Yu's not that type of guy, alright?" I cross my arms.

"...It's true," Ichijo shrugs. "He was... actin' all weird yesterday..."

"Shit... Happened recently, okay?" I sigh. "He was... prolly just in a bad mood."

"Make excuses all you want, but it doesn't change what he said," Nagase shrugs.

"...I don't have to take this from you guys," I frown.

"...I don't think he really means it," Ichijo mutters.."...I think you should talk to him."

"Yes, that's on my list of things to do," I groan.

"...I hope he comes back soon."

"Yeah," I say. "Me, too."

~~~

"Who even was that?" Chie scoffs.

"No clue," I sigh.

"He said, 'catch me if you can', too," Rise murmurs. "It's... kinda freaking me out."

"...Is it the murderer?" Kanji asks.

"The what?" I frown.

"Murderer?" Teddie says.

"Oh, yeah," Kanji shrugs. "Naoto said they caught the guy."

"You mean, boy detective?" Rise mutters.

"Well... Yeah," he says. "He told me and Yu-senpai yesterday."

"And you didn't think to tell us?" Yukiko scoffs.

"It... slipped my mind, I guess..."

"Jesus, Kanji..." I grumble.
