Maiko's POV:
The next day, Ayano and I got dressed and I brought my favorite book with me, so I can ready it during break, we lock the door as Osano is waiting for us and we walked to school together. We heard Ayano's phone ring and Ayano takes her phone out as I asked, "Who's that?" "It's probably from some random number again. Go ahead, I'll catch up." Ayano said, "Um, OK. If you say so." I said as Osano and I kept walking to school, I wonder what's wrong with her?

Ayano's POV:
I hate lying to Maiko, but I have to do this to get to Senpai. I saw my text as it said,

Info:
I'm glad you decided to join me, but I forgot to mention something I require for my services...

I texted back,

Ayano:
And what's that?

Info:
Panty shots.

Ayano:
Excuse me?

Info:
Unfortunately, I require pictures of girl's panties from you. You see, my sources require payment too.

Ayano:
Ugh, that's disgusting.

Info:
It's what I require if you want my help.

Ayano:
Fine. I'll get you your panty shots

Info:
Excellent.

I shook my head in disgust, I can't believe I have to do that, but I have no choice, I gasps softly when I saw my Senpai walking pass by me, I stare at him lovingly. Oh Senpai...don't worry...soon you will be mine.

Maiko's POV:
I'm getting worried, I hope everything's ok with Ayano. Osano and I changed our shoes, and I took out my book and Osano asked, "What's that book you have, Maiko?" "Oh this? My dad gave it to me when I was little. So, it's a very special book." "What's it called? What's it about?" Osano asked curiously, "If you're really interested, I'd let you borrow my book, but you have to promise to take good care of it." I spoke.

"...r... really?... You...you'd let me...I..I mean, of COURSE I'd take good care of it! That's obvious!" Osano said, "All right then, you can give it back to me when school's over, okay?" I said as I held out my book to him. "Yeah, I will!" Osano said as he took my book. "Come on. Let's head to class." I said as we made our way to our class.

Osano's POV:
Wow, she let me borrow her book! I'm so happy! Once class is over, it was lunch time, I head to the fountain area and said, "Okay, let's see what's so special about this book..." I began to read, and I'll admit, it's a really good book, I was in the middle and stood up as I said, "Here's a good stopping point - woo, time for a break! Just a quick stretch..."

I stretch around the fountain and grab to book to read it again. I look at the time to see it was almost time for class, and it's a good thing too, I just finished reading this book. I quickly head to my classroom where Maiko is in her desk, and I sat next to her as I put her book in my bag. Classes are finally over and after cleaning time, I went to change my shoes, grab the book and head to the entrance of the school to find Maiko waiting for me.

"Hey Osano! So, what did you think about the book?" She asked, "It was actually... way more interesting than I expected. Thanks for letting me borrow it!" I said as I hand the book back to her, "No problem!" Maiko said happily as she took her book back.

She's so cute! "...Y.. You should spend some time with me... instead of reading books." I mumbled. "What was that?" Akemi said, uh oh! I hope she didn't hear me! "I-I said, 'There are better novels than this old book!' Anyway, let's get going already!" I said, Maiko shrugged and put her book away. "By the way, where's Ayano?" I asked, "She went back home. I told her I'm staying here to wait for you since you borrowed my book." Maiko said. I nodded and we head to her house.

Maiko's POV:
I think Osano's acting a little strange, but then again, he sometimes acts like this, so I guess I shouldn't worry.
