"Am I pretty Hiroki?"
"You're beautiful Takako, now what did you get for question 12?"
"B."
"Really? I thought that it would have been D..."
"It isn't."
"Oh...okay."
"Anyway you're obligated to say that."
"...No, I mean, I understand why its B and not D."
"No that Hiroki. You're my best friend so you have to tell me I'm pretty."
"Taka, you are the prettiest girl in our class."
"I'm not prettier than Mitsuko. Boys actually talk to her, they just call me..."
"...RoboBitch?"
"...Am I that intimidating?"
"No...Hardcore Souma is scarier, boys just talk to her because she never wears clothing."
"I bet all your friends talk about her though."
"They talk about you too Taka. They say you're...'very attractive' but...um...hard to connect with."
"They say gross things about me, don't they."
"Sometimes."
"Oh...well, what did you get for 13?"
"Um...is it A?"
"No."
"Don't be so hostile."
"Oh, is that what they say about me now Hiroki? That I'm mean and hostile?"
"Can you cut it out? Yes, sometimes you can be a little hostile and distant, but you know you're worth it."
"...What?"
"You're worth it...the push. You're worth the exhausting amount of time put in, just trying to talk to you. You have your guard up all the time, but people still respect you, and they will always treat you better than Mitsuko, or whoever. You aren't a RoboBitch, Taka, and you are beautiful, okay? In fact, I can't stand it when anyone says anything bad about you I just-"
"Okay okay I get it Hiroki. You can take a breath now."
"Sorry."
"Its fine. What would our classmates say if they heard you talking like that? They would get the wrong idea about us."
"They already have the wrong idea about us."
"...Do you like anyone Hiroki?"
"What?"
"Never mind."
"...You know I love you Takako."
"No you don't, we're just friends."
"No, I do. I said I love you, I never said I was in love with you. I think you're beautiful, but I'm not sexually attracted to you. I-"
"You're doing it again. Stop it."
"...You're the best thing that has ever happened to me, Taka."
"...Oh...I...um...well...thank you, and...I guess...I guess I love you...too. Ahem, anyway...question 13."
"I thought so."
"Shut up. Question 13? What did you get?"
"...Um...is it A?"
