Nino's Room
(Y/N) POV
Me: It's me.
Nino: Huh?!
I take my notebook away from Nino.
Me: You don't hear that.
I said as I start to stand up.
Nino: No, I heard that!
She said as she start to stand up too.
Nino: There's no way that boy is you.
Me: Just think whatever you want.
I try to put my notebook in my pocket but Nino quickly take it back.
Me: What do you want? I can pierce your ears now if that what I need to do to get my notebook back.
Nino: You still really want this notebook although I already saw that photo. Is there anything else you hide in here?
She said while flipping through the notebook pages.
Me*thought*: Crap. She will found that photo!
I'm about to stop her but...
Nino: Huh? What is this?
She said as she take out another picture in the notebook.
Nino POV
I look at the photo that I just take out from the notebook a few seconds ago. It's photo of (Y/N) is holding his phone and wearing mask is standing beside a beautiful white hair woman.
(A/N): Just imagine these two standing beside each other.
(Y/N): I think that's enough. You can-
Me: Akane...?
(Y/N): What the? How can you-
Me: This woman... She's Akane, right?
I look at (Y/N) as he look at me with confuse mix with suprised look.
Me: What?
(Y/N): How did you know her?
Me: Akane was my classmate in my old school. She was my best friend.
I said while looking back at the photo.
Me: But one day, in class, teacher announced that Akane has involved in an accident that took away her life.
Tears start to fill my eyes. I look back at (Y/N).
Me: What is your relationship with her?
(Y/N): There is no need for you to know. Now give that photo and my notebook back.
Me: No. Tell me and I'll give it back.
(Y/N): I'll buy a new notebook then.
(Y/N) POV
I'm about to walk to the door but Nino stop me.
Me: You already got my notebook and photos. What do you want now?
Nino: Answer.
Me: No.
Nino: Then I'll say to the other 4 that you try to rape me.
Me: I'm innocent.
Nino: We're in my room. And it just us. There is lot of things can happen when a man and a woman in a room together.
I sigh. I take my notebook away from her and continue to walk to the door.
Me: Akane was my girlfriend. After her death, I took no interest in love anymore. That's it. Now take shower, wear your uniform, and go to school.

After School
Library
(Y/N) POV
Ichika: I guess Itsuki and Nino still don't want to join?
Me: Yeah.
Yotsuba: (Y/N)-baka~! Question! Do you notice anything different about me today?
I ignore her.
Me: Do you guys even realize what's coming?
Yotsuba: You're gonna ignore me!? A hint, then, it's from the neck up!
Ichika: Ah, right! The camping trip!
Miku: I'm looking forward to it.
Me: You forgot about mid-term test, huh? Not suprised...
I put my head on the table in frustration.
Ichika:*laugh nervously* How could I not know?
Yotsuba: It seems like it's hard for (Y/N)-baka.
Me:*sigh* It's your bow, Yotsuba-san.
Yotsuba:*smile* Correct!
Miku who is studying english stop what she's doing and look at me.
Miku: Why you look little bit sad, (Y/N)-kun?
I raise my head and look at those three.
Me: How much you guys know about Akane?
All of three of them have suprised face.
Ichika: How did you know her...?
Me: Just answer my question.
Miku: Well, she was our best friend in our old school.
Me*thought*: Nino said the same.
Ichika:*laugh nervously* She's smarter than any of us.
Yotsuba: Beautiful too!
Miku: Why you ask?
Me: Nothing important. You can continue studying now. If there is any question that you don't know how to solve, wake me up. I'll take a quick nap. I had headache for the past few days.
I put my head on the table and fell asleep.
Miku POV
Ichika: How did he know Akane?
Me: Dunno.
Yotsuba: Maybe they're friends?
Ichika: Akane never said anything about she friend with boy.
Me: Well, we never know until (Y/N) tell us.

Evening
Outside School
(Y/N) POV
Me:*yawn* Sorry if I didn't help you guys with your study earlier.
Ichika: It's all right. At least you still help us when we wake you up.
Yotsuba: (Y/N)-baka look tired. What did you do yesterday?
Me: Study little bit.
Miku: As for your headache, I think you better go see doctor.
Me: Nah, it just a usual headache. I should be okay in two days or so.
Yotsuba: Oh! How about we go get fruit-flavored from the store in front of the station?
Me&Miku: I want the matcha-flavored one.
Miku look at me with suprised face while blushing slightly.
Me: What?
Miku:*look away* N-Nothing.
All three of them start to walk. I stand still in my place while holding my head.
Me: Aghh... This is why I forbid myself from remembering you.
Yotsuba: (Y/N)-baka!
I look at them.
Yotsuba: If you don't hurry up, we'll leave you behind!
I smile as my headache slowly gone. I start to follow them.

On my way home
(Y/N) POV
?
??: Stop right there!
I turn around and see Itsuki is panting heavily.
Me: What?
Itsuki: How can you just leave by yourself after that? In that situation, you'd go together, right?
Me: It's because I have to go home and get some rest. What, did you run after me just to say that?
Itsuki: No.
She hand me her phone.
Itsuki: There's call that you need to take.
Me: Huh?
I take the phone.
Me: Hello?
I hear Mr. Nakano's voice.
Mr. Nakano: (Y/N). My daughters have been troubling you.
Me: Oh, Mr. Nakano. Long time no talk.
Mr. Nakano: There's no need for you to so formal.
Itsuki: There's no need for you to be so formal.
Mr. Nakano: I'm sorry that I can't meet you in person. How are you? Is your tutoring going alright?
Me: Yeah, nothing too bad. Just little bit problem to convince Nino and Itsuki.
Mr. Nakano: They refuse, huh? Well, I'll talk with them later.
Me: No need, Mr. Nakano. We can't force someone to do something that they don't like. Don't worry, I'll talk with them after this.
Mr. Nakano: Well, if you said so, I'll not stop you.
Me: Thank you, Mr. Nakano.
Mr. Nakano: Not a problem. Well, I heard that the midterm test is coming up, but, I'm happy to hear you all trying your best. Even though it's a bit unfair... I'd like to use this test as a test of your achievements as well. The midterm is in a week. If just one of the quintuplets gets a failing grade, I'll find them a new tutor.
Me: Okay.
I end the call and give the phone back at Itsuki.
Itsuki: What did he said?
Me: Nothing too important.
I said with frustrated tone.
Me*thought*: These five can't have bad grades? How the hell that can happen?
Itsuki: Tell me. I know it's important.
I just stare at her face for a few moments before turn around and start to walk away.
Itsuki: Hey! Te-
Me: If any of you have failing grade, I'll be replaced. Don't tell this to the other 4. It will just put more pressure on them. Except Nino maybe.
Itsuki: Then why did you told me?
Me: Putting trust on someone is a key to make someone trust us. Do your best on your study, Itsuki. I'm sure you can do it. Don't do that for me, but do that for your future. Good luck.
