Midterms Day 1 Science

All right, time's up.

It's not over.

You still have tomorrow.

How did you do?

Terrible.

Come with us, Akanecchi.

Shopping.

The school trip is coming up.

When exams are over.

I have practice today.

Oh, okay.

Is it language arts tomorrow?

Yeah.

What do you think will be on it?

Kota!

Hey, don't ignore me. Kota!

What do you want?

How was the test?

No good.

You're totally out of it.

Yeah.

Want to see my new move?

Do it, do it!

Please don't.

Ogasawara Dynamic!

Stop it!

Ow!

Cut it out, seriously.

Ow...

How's that different from your usual move?

Kotarou-kun.

You're here early. What about school?

It's exam week.

Oh, yeah?

What are you up to right now?

Cleaning up around the kagura hall.

Huh?

Hey, Kotarou-kun.

You're here early. What about school?

It's exam week.

Is that that one book?

The one you let me read before?

That was my second story.

This one's my first.

Kotarou-kun, I'm counting on you for the Sunday practice.

Okay!

You've submitted before?

So you got the results?

No time to be thinking about exams, huh?

Kotarou!

You'd better be studying.

I know.

I know that.

Mizuno-san

Thanks

You're welcome

Sorry about today

No problem

See you at school

Yup, see you

I don't feel like studying

Would that be annoying?

Azumi-kun: Are you studying for the exam?

Yup

I'm not bothering you, am I?

Akane, did you take your bath yet?

Oh, yeah, I did.

Okay.

I guess I will too, then.

Not at all

Something crappy happened before exams

Like what?

Club stuff... I guess?

Literature club?

Yeah

Weird. I can't even manage to talk to her at school.

I get bummed with club stuff all the time too

Really?

What do you do when you can't make things work?

I think you're fine the way you are

Like you said at the sports festival

I was happy you said that to me

I think you're fine as you are too

The secret to good shiatsu is a mother's touch!

Okay, time's up.

Please pass your answer sheets forward.

Kota!

What are you doing later? Wanna hang out?

I have club.

I have club, too.

Seriously?

But exams are finally over.

Come on, let's hang. Let's hang!

Go ask a girl out or something, Roman.

It's not like that.

Why? What's the matter?

Akanecchi!

Bye-bye!

Come on. The school trip is coming up, after all.

See you tomorrow.

Let's go buy snacks.

Oh, yeah. Bye-bye!

Snacks?

Yeah.

I guess I can't say no to snacks.

Come on, let's go.

Just skip your club.

I can't skip out on my club!

Come on, just this once!

I can't miss a day right now.

I can finally run.

Right?

Oh, I'm gonna go toss this. Hold on a sec.

Okay.

Hey, Curly-kun!

Hey!

We're friends now.

You told me Curly-kun's cool, so...

We have a week until the meet.

Let's stay focused.

Okay!

Have you noticed?

Everyone's hooking up.

For the school trip, I bet.

What? Is that it?

How dumb.

Why? What's wrong with that?

Off-leash dogs are causing problems

Please keep your dog on a leash

I wish I had a boyfriend.

Right?

Not especially.

But what about Hira?

Huh?

What?

Nothing.

Not gonna go out with him?

Why?

I heard someone asked him out, but he said no.

Seriously?

He said there's someone he likes.

Definitely Akane.

That's what I think, too.

The literature club has a superstition.

Pick out a book at random,

and that book will give you the perfect life advice for your situation.

At the very least, I don't believe romance comes down to chance.

I believe it comes down to volition.

Really?

He should just ask her out.

Hira?
