"Do you have any idea what is going on, Tezuka?" Sanada asked, pouring the briskly boiling black tea in his cup. They were sitting around a tea table in the lobby of the main building. He, Tezuka, Yukimura, Gakuto, Yuushi, Mami, An and Miyako were all sitting together.
Tezuka glanced at the table about ten meters away from them. It was a smaller one which can only seat three people at most. Ryoma and Atobe sat across from each other, their eyes boring at each other's pupils in an intense staring game. Both had their arms folded over their chests and their right leg crossed over the other, their backs leaned back casually.
Tezuka sighed. "No. If anyone does, I'd like to know as well." He said, taking the pot full of milk and pouring some on his tea.
Gakuto laughed uneasily and took the pot of milk after Tezuka had put it down. He placed a generous amount inside his teacup. "Aren't they getting tired though? They've been at it for fifteen minutes already." He commented.
"Well, they'll tire out eventually. We just have to wait." Yukimura said, before turning to Tezuka. "There's the only thing I'm certain about and anyone can figure that out. Whatever it is, it has a lot of connection to Ryouko." Yukimura said and took the milk after Gakuto. He also poured some on his tea.
"Tell me, is life always this hectic around the Fujioka princess?" Yuushi asked. "Can you please pass me that, Yukimura-san?" He added as Yukimura was putting the container of milk back on its place.
"Sure." Yukimura said and handed it to him. Yuushi poured the milk on his cup and stirred it with a teaspoon.
"No. It's calm, most of the time." Tezuka answered after taking a sip of his tea.
Sanada took the pot after Yuushi and added the milk on his second cup of tea. When Mami took the container, it was completely empty.
"Haha." She said uneasily. "I see that you all take your tea with milk, senpai-tachi." She commented.
"Right. I thought you'll like plain black. I guess I overestimated you." Miyako added before nibbling on a strawberry doughnut.
An laughed. "Well, you're all so..." She made a big circle with both of her hands. "...big... for junior high students that I almost forgot that you're all still fourteen years old. Still, isn't it a little childish to take your tea with milk?" She said.
The five boys coughed uncomfortably.
"I usually like it plain but I'm craving something sweet today..." Yuushi said.
"Me too." Tezuka added quite hesitantly, before busying himself with the tea.
"I just copied them." Sanada said, trying his best to look poker-faced.
Yukimura laughed. "Tea with milk is good every once in a while."
Gakuto only shrugged. "I always take my tea with milk."
Mami snapped her fingers and turned to Gakuto. "I like you. You're honest."
"Well, thank you but I don't like girls that are younger than me." Gakuto replied, before taking a bavarian doughnut from the tray.
Mami scoffed. "Excuse me, senpai but you're not my type either." She replied, quite offended.
Miyako and An laughed. "Stop mocking me, you guys." Mami told them, pretending to look hurt.
"Well... Do you think we should do something about that?" Miyako suddenly said, gesturing towards the next table with her head.
When they arrived in the lobby, taking Miyako's offer of tea to somehow lift the awkward atmosphere, Atobe and Ryoma both insisted that they sit in a different table.
