Do you believe in destiny?

...

Ayaka : Miyu. Are you alright?

Miyu : Ha?

Ryo : You're spacing out again?

Rika : Could it be that you're thinking about school already?

Miyu : .. A-aah.. Un.

Ryo : Why are vacations so short? *sigh

Ayaka : (pouts) And we're not classmates, Ryo-kun...!

Ryo : It's okay. Whenever there's an opportunity to see you, I'll go straight to your classroom.

Ayaka : Uwa! My Ryo-kun is the best! I'll always be waiting for you~

Rika : Uwaa..* Urayamashii ne! (I'm envious!)

Ayaka : (giggles)

Miyu : ...

"I'll be waiting."

Miyu : (looks outside the window)

Rika : oh by the way.. Miyu, the other day at the cafè, when Yuto arrived.. He said he was with you.

Miyu : Un.

Ayaka : Areee~ love love?

Miyu : *Chigaimasu! (That's not it!)

Her friends laugh.

Ayaka : It was a joke. Chill.

Miyu : Don't misunderstand.. He was just kind enough to accompany me to my brother's school.

Ryo : Kind enough?

Rika : She's really thick-skinned.

Ayaka : I wonder if ever you'll get a boyfriend...

Miyu : ... Sore wa.. Kankei nai deshou. (It doesn't really concern you...)

Ryo : Give her a break. Who knows... Someone out there is just waiting for her. (chuckles)

Miyu : E-eh..?

Ryo : Doushita?

Miyu : ... Nothing. (looks outside)

Ayaka : Do you wanna go to the mall? It's still 4:00.. The movie starts at 6 anyway.. Were meeting Yuto at the cinema.

Ryo : Sure. Let's go.

Rika : Miyu. You're coming, right?

Miyu : (thinking)

Ayaka : Don't tell me you're going to ditch on us again like last time.

Miyu : ... Can I just meet you at the cinema then?

Ayaka : Why? Where are you going?

Miyu : My mom's shop... I remember she asked me to do a quick errand.

Ayaka : Sou ka. But be sure to be there by 6:00. Wakatta?

Miyu : Wakatta. Wakatta. Jaa!

Miyu, still confused why she felt the urge to go see Koutani, found herself running towards that same tree. To her surprise... the guy was not there anymore.

Miyu : (catching for breath) That guy... *sigh ... I can't believe this...

Koutani's voice : Can't believe what?

Shocked, she quickly searched where the voice was coming from but Koutani had already appeared before her even before she realized it. He was just hiding on the other side.
