DUMP,LONER AND KARAOKE:FINALE

"I'm going!"

Mizuhara announced and got up to leave without even looking at her boyfriend.

I still felt she seemed familiar and something seemed off about their relationship.

Kazuya did nothing and didn't go after her. Even I know it's courtesy to accompany the girl to make sure she goes home safely.

"Does anyone need anything?"

The waitress asked while everyone was awkwardly silent.

"I'll like another refill!"

Mami was back to her sweet,cheerful self. Clever girl.

At least people forgot my out of place comment. I'll just finish my steak and get out of here.

...

Everyone was out on the street and stretching their legs after having a meal.

Kibe and Kazuya were standing at a distance but I could overhear them.

"Kazuya,you should have gone after her."

"Oh, you be quiet"

"Now,listen..."

While they talked I heard Miharu say

"Well it's getting late,we should be heading back"

Her long black haired agreed with her.

"What about you Mami? Are you coming with us?"

Mami who was staring at Kazuya with a blank expression quickly turned around and smiled at them.

"Hmm... Oh I have to be somewhere. I'll see you later!"

I considered talking to Kazuya. I don't interfere in other people's lives and their relationships anymore but he clearly still has issues with Mami.

And there was mystery of his relationship with Mizuhara. He was literally paying for a 'girlfriend' to help himself get over with Mami dumping (of which I was very skeptical ) so where did she come from?

He was even bragging about his relationship but how long had they been together?

If there was something shady going on, people would end up hurt.

And Komachi would be disappointed with her big brother if she found out.

"... can I have your number?"

I suddenly broke out of my musings.

"Huh?"

It was Miharu who had asked.

"I said can I have your number? This was the first time you've hang out with us. We can meet up again"

Oh yeah. I was never really a part of their group. It wouldn't hurt, although I'm a bit wary of Mami.

"Sure"

Miharu seemed like a nice girl so I gave it to her.

"Thanks. Well,see you"

She and her black haired friend were on their way.

I turned to Kazuya who was now walking away from Kibe and seemed in a downer mood. More than usual.

"Kazuya let's go back together"

Before he could object

"You're drunk. You'll get lost"

He was annoyed but didn't say anything. Good

Kibe got close to me as I walked pass him and said.

"Hikigaya-san,please look after my friend."

I don't know you, man.
