The mid-term exam was over and the day of the results announcement arrived.
The names of the top 10 students are posted in the hallway during lunch break, so I go out into the hallway with Makoto and Rikuto.
A crowd had already gathered and the place was filled with excitement.
When we also checked, my name was written in the second place.
“Wow ! Ken is in second place ! That’s amazing.”
“I studied hard. I should be able to get this much.”
“Not me. I thought I did my best as usual, but I guess it’s not like in junior high school.
Makoto was always in the top 10 in junior high school, but he missed it in high school.
“I’m sure I’m not in the top 10. I didn’t study hard.”
Rikuto says proudly.
He should have done at least a little bit even though he was involved in club activities.
“I mean, the first and second place is from class 1.”
Rikuto said as if he had noticed, but I had noticed it from the beginning.
The name on the first place is Fuyusaki Reina.
I knew she was smart, but I didn’t intend to lose, which was frustrating.
“Was Fuyusaki san always this smart? It seems like she’s gaining more and more fans.”
As Makoto said, a small enclosure had already formed in front of the Class 1 classroom.
Everyone must have come to see Fuyusaki.
“I wonder what the others are like, huh.”
As I was checking the other girls, my eyes stopped at the 8th place.
“Makoto, look.”
“What’s wrong? …..Eh !?”
“What’s up with you two?”
Rikuto wouldn’t know, so it wouldn’t surprise me, but from the two of us, there was a name there that shouldn’t have been there.

While Kenshiro and the others were preoccupied with the rankings, Hananoi Miyu came to the diner with her usual friends: Wadou Kinako and Sasakawa Kaoru.
“The diner is really empty today. Lucky♪”
Kinako looked around at the empty seats in the cafeteria and said in a loud voice.
“The test results will come out today, right? It has nothing to do with us. Right, Miyu.”
“Well, I guess so.”
I respond to Kaoru’s words with a feeling of powerlessness.
Kinako and Kaoru are my classmates from elementary school.
We went out together several times when we were in middle school, and after we decided to attend the same high school, we became close friends and studied together.
“Hey, how are things going with Miyu lately?”
“What do you mean?”
Kaoru said something out of the blue and I really didn’t understand what she meant.
“Don’t play dumb～the guy from the other day. Miyu likes him.”
“H-huh !?I told you, it’s not like that !”
“Really? Oh, maybe that handsome guy from before?”
The good looking guy that Kaoru is talking about is probably Makoto, but he is a friend of mine because he is friends with Ken.
“Not that guy either !”
“Okay, okay. Neither that guy～”
I told her that.
“Wait, you didn’t just say that !”
“Miyu’s face turned red ! You’re so cute~ (lol).
“What are you two talking about?”
“Hmm? Miyu likes—“
“Shut up already !”
While they were talking like that, the door to the diner was suddenly opened.
I looked toward the door and saw Makoto coming toward me with a glaring look on his face.
“Eh? Wait, what, what, what?”
Kaoru and Kinako also backed away due to the sheer force of the situation.
Makoto came right in front of me and showed me the screen of his phone.
“What kind of technique did you use !”
Makoto said, not in anger, but with a puzzled look on his face.
There was one picture on the phone.
It showed Hananoi Miyu in 8th place.
