“Did you actually take a marathon around the school to find me?” I put a smirk on my face as I walked towards Saki and held out my hand for her to take.
Looking at her drenched face and her bunned hair almost loose, this girl seemed to have frantically searched for my whereabouts.
If I had to guess, she even reached the Gymnasium and after not finding me there, she ran back to the classroom until she found me going to the Changing Room.
“Because you’re not listening to me! You left swiftly. Noriko didn’t mean to doubt and be suspicious of you.” Saki answered as she took my hand and stood up.
She surely thought that I left because of what Kikuchi said and now she’s trying to clear whatever grievance she imagined that I accrued from that simple question and answer scene.
“I know. She’s just concerned about her friend.”
“Then why…”
Why did I leave?
That’s surely the question she wanted to ask.
