APRIL 21, THURSDAY
Afternoon

Tsuyoi attended basketball practice. He had wanted to hang out with his actual friends — Yosuke and Chie. Of course, not to say Kou and Daisuke weren't friends.

He just liked Yosuke and Chie more.

Speaking Kou, the blue haired boy had ran up to him.

"Jeez, I'm hungry..." Kou groaned. "Hey, Birodo, Aiya or Junes?"

Tsuyoi was very tempted to say Junes. But, as from hanging out with Yosuke, knew of Inaba's venomous hatred for Junes.

Begrudgingly...

"Aiya."

"Oh, you know what's up Birodo! Their Hui Gou Rou is epic." Kou said with a smirk. Tsuyoi found it note worthy that the other boy had a gleam in his eyes.

Tsuyoi heard Daisuke call from the gym entrance.

"Hey Kou! Hurry up!"

"The soccer team's done already? You guys are fast, man. Don't you have cleaning up to do?" Kou laughed.

"Yeah, but I don't have to do that stuff." Daisuke retorted, walking to both Tsuyoi and Kou. "Oh yeah, by the way, this girl in my class was looking for you. She made something for you in home ec. She said, 'Kou-chan loves sweets,' or something like that." Daisuke explained.

"Well, I do like me some sweets..." Kou mumbled.

"I'm jealous." Daisuke joked.

"No, no, we're just friends." Kou said while laughing. "I don't mind the sweets and all that, but I wish she'd stop calling me 'Kou-chan'. I swear, the more girls I tell not to call me that, the more they seem to enjoy doing it. I hate my name. 'Kou.' It's such a crappy name..."

"Well? What are you gonna do?"

Kou sighed. "...I guess I'll go pick 'em up. You like sweets, Birodo? Want me to get you some, too?"

"Sure."

Kou smiled. "If I mention you, I bet she'd give me tons! Alright, leave it to me." He got up, stretching. "I'll get us so much candy, we'll be too fat to practice!"

And thusly, Kou looked very pumped up!
