"Hey, I think she woke up!" Hanamichi said in a loud voice.
Shizuka rubbed her eyes. Everything's still here. No this dream was not going away. What if this wasn't a dream? She was lost in a depth of thoughts of what could explain this.
Hanamichi waved his hand in front of Shizuka's vacant expression.
"Hello? Remember me?"
Shizuka snapped out of her thoughts. And unfortunately, she did remember him.
He's that guy that ... that ... *Shizuka faints again*
"Hey! Are you okay? Ah! She fainted!" Hanamichi started frantically.
"What did you say to her?" the nurse asked with suspicion at the redhead.
"It's not my fault!"
"So why did she faint?"
"Well, you're the nurse! You figure it out!"
"Hanamichi, calm down," Korgue coaxed.
Hanamichi went off to a corner of the room to fume angrily.
"Don't you two have classes or something?" the nurse asked.
Korgue shook his head, "No, not until nine."
Hanamichi looked up sharply, the clock on the wall read 8:30.
"AH!"
"What's the matter with him?" the nurse asked as Hanamichi sped out of the room.
"I'm LATE~~!" Hanamichi shouted as he sped down the halls.
It was not like it really mattered to him whether he went to classes or not. But if he didn't pass, he would be kicked off the basketball team. And today, he had a test in English.
English, Hanamichi shuddered at that thought as he continued to clear the halls of people.
Hardly panting at all, thanks to his great stamina, Hanamichi dashed into his class and slumped into his seat by the window.
"You're late," the teacher said coldly.
Hanamichi looked around. Everyone had already started the test.
Yohei looked over a Hanamichi, what could have made him so late?
"You have twenty minutes left."
Hanamichi facevaulted. It was a test designed for fourty minutes! Could he make it in twenty minutes?
Meanwhile, outside of the classroom, three people were whispering among themselves.
"Don't be so cocky, Yuuji. You just got lucky. Ten more minutes and I would have won the bet," Nozomi said as he forked over the money.
"So what's for the next bet?" Yuuji asked as he happily counted the money.
"What grade do you think Hanamich will get?" Chuichirou asked.
At the nurse's office, Shizuka woke up again.
"So you finally woke up, huh?" the nurse asked.
Shizuka looked around. No sign of that redhead. She sighed in relief.
"What school are you in? You're not wearing a uniform," the nurse asked.
"Oh, I don't go to school," Shizuka said. "I have a private tutor."
