"Yamazaki-kun, do you have a girlfriend?"

Sousuke was surprised by his classmate's question.

"No, I don't. Why do you ask?"

"I often see you and Anzai-chan together. She's not your girlfriend?"

Sousuke glanced at Mika, who was sitting at a large library table with three other classmates; they were working on a group presentation. Sousuke smiled when Mika rubbed her nose and he noted that she looked lovely in the blue dress she was wearing.

"We're just friends." Sousuke said.

"Ah, that's too bad. You two look really good together."

Sousuke shrugged; it wasn't the first time he'd heard that.
