Kurosaki Mafuyu woke up with a start.
Changing into her uniform she couldn't shake the feeling something bad was going to happen today.
She sat on a chair and buttered a toast. Since the Christmas party Hayasaka had been avoiding her. When she asked why Hayasaka just looked down and muttered.
She got up and put on her shoes ready to go to school. Kurosaki wished she knew the reason but she was a bit afraid to hear the reason.
When the first period's bell rang Kurosaki glanced at the seat next to her. Hayasaka didn't come today. Actually he didn't come for the past few days. He didn't even answer her calls.
Kurosaki felt gloomy not having her best friend sitting next to her. Kurosaki had asked Yui but he too didn't know.
Of course, Yui and Kurosaki tried finding out the reason why Hayasaka was not coming to school but failed.
He was still living in the dorms but he wasn't opening the door whenever Kurosaki tried to visit him.
The school ended which seemed like eternity to Kurosaki. She wasn't able to focus, her thought were clouded with Hayasaka.
"Hey Mafuyu, come to the teacher's room for a minute," Takaomi's words brought Kurosaki back to the world.
Kurosaki followed Takaomi to the teacher's room in a gloomy silence.
Takaomi told her to sit, "Mafuyu, the teachers have complained that you are not focusing on your studies, is it because of Hayasaka?"
Kurosaki nodded, "Takaomi-kun, do you know why Hayasaka is not coming to school? He's not even answering my calls." asked Kurosaki frantically.
Takaomi just shook his head, "Come to think of it, Hayasaka acted strange after the Christmas party."
"Don't tell me you have a skeleton in your closet because he certainly looked strange after looking in your closet." Takaomi added sarcastically.
"Of course not!" Kurosaki yelled.
"Anyway, quickly return normal because it sure isn't fun having a gloomy Mafuyu," with this Takaomi patted her on her head.
Kurosaki stared at Takaomi, he wasn't the type to be gentle.
"What are you ogling me for? Am I that handsome?" Takaomi sneered.
"Shut up!" Kurosaki blushed furiously. Takaomi just chuckled.
Kurosaki got up and went outside. Kurosaki's thoughts went back to at what Takaomi said.
'My closet? But I don't have anything special in my closet,' thought Kurosaki confused.
When she reached home she decided to check her closet. Perhaps she had missed something crucial?
Her eyes searched the closet for a long time, she didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
She sighed and closed the closet door. She sank down on the floor and lied down there for some time. The floor was cool which was comforting.
