What?

You think there is?

Who knows?

This is good.

There can't be!

And besides, everything'll be alright.

I mean, I can always go back.

I can reset things

as many times as I want.

Look at this! This is perfect!

You'll have to wait a year

if you miss this chance.

You were going to

tell him today, right?

- Yeah.

- You've got to give it a good crack.

Crack it and then what?

Sempai!

- Me?

- No!

Um...

Well...

Kaho!

Yeah.

We'll go ahead!

All right!

- What's with those girls?

- Let's just get going.

Enough with that girly throw.

Put your shoulder into it.

Hey.

You're late!

Sorry.

So, uh...

Those girls?

Just juniors from the Volunteer Club.

Right. What'd they want?

They wanted to know

if I was going out with you.

What?! We're not going out, right?

- That's what I told them.

- And? Anything else?

I don't know why, but...

...she asked me out.

- Way to go!

- Are you serious?

- So, what'd you say?

- Said I can't go out with her.

What?! You're so mean!

Take it easy.

- It took guts to ask you out!

- Why'd you say no?!

I'd definitely go out with her!

I mean, come on...

But she looks like that girl

you liked in junior high.

No, she doesn't!

Don't come crying

if you change your mind...

...and it's too late.

You can drop the subject now.

See ya.

Yeah.

Hey, where's your bike?

- Something happened to it.

- Get on the back then.

You're going to take me home?

Lucky me!

You really think he wasn't interested?

If Kousuke says he's not,

then he's not.

- I'm a bit relieved.

- Why?

If he gets a girlfriend,

he'd treat her good, right?

He's that kind of guy.

Then we won't be able to

play baseball anymore.

I guess tossing the ball around

wouldn't count as baseball.

I don't know.

I thought maybe the three of us

would always be together.

Kousuke would tell us

off for being late...

...and you would tease me for not

being able to catch the ball...

Makoto...

Hm?

How about you go out with me?

Stop the bike.

Stop for a second.

- What was that?

- Huh?

- What you just said.

- You want to go out?

How did we get to talking about that?

You were talking about

what if Kousuke got a girlfriend.

I'm not that ugly, am I?

Serious?

Serious.

W- W-Wait a minute!

What is it now?

Huh?

Makoto?

Ow!

Huh?

What the hell are you doing?!

Nothing.

Don't come crying

if you change your mind...

...and it's too late.

You can drop the subject now.

See ya.

Yeah.

Hey, where's your bike?

Get on the back.

How dare Kousuke beat me to it.

It's not like he's found

himself a girlfriend.

That's what he says now...

...but I bet if he got one,

he'd pick her over us.

- You can't be sure.

- Damn.

Without Kousuke,

we'd only be able to toss the ball.

You can think about that...

...when he gets a girlfriend.

Well, I guess if he gets one,

then that's that.

So then Makoto...

...how about you go out with me?

- Like I said, why are we talking about this?!

That's what he says now...

...but I bet if he got one,

he'd pick her over us.

H- Hey, you know what?

My sister's a total idiot!

Huh? I was just talking about Kousuke.

Let's talk about my sister.

If Kousuke finds himself a girlfriend...

You know, my sister...!

You want to go out with me?!

Don't come crying

if you change your mind...

...and it's too late.

You can drop the subject now.

Huh? Makoto?

- Get on the back.

- No thanks.

Hey, what's the matter

all of a sudden?

What's up with her?

- It's your fault!

- How so?!

I always thought you liked Chiaki.

Didn't you say you had to

stick by him...

...so he'd stay out of trouble?

- I might've said that before.

Why pretend he never asked?

Just go out with him.

- No way! No way! No way!

- Why not?

I can't imagine Chiaki

being more than just a friend.

If it doesn't work out...

...just go back in time.

- I'm sure you can do that.

- I don't need to go through with that.

Sometimes you can fall in love with

someone who says they love you.

It won't happen! Never!

I see.

So you're pretending

it never happened.

Poor Chiaki.

And after he got the courage

to tell you how he felt.

But I suppose he doesn't

even realize that he did.

Chiaki came to our school

this spring, right?

Yeah.

I heard he's been

transferring schools a lot.

Apparently.

Are the rumors true

about him returning from abroad?

I doubt it.

He's not too bright, for one.

- Not true, huh?

- Not true.

I wonder if something happened

to him at his last school?

- Why don't you ask him?

- 'Cuz, I don't have his email.

You're in the same class.

But you're really good friends with him.

But I wouldn't ask him

something like that.

- And I wouldn't say we're good friends.

- That's a lie.

It's not a lie. I mean...

Stop it!

- I can't stop it!

- It's all your fault!

- They're getting back at him!

- Stop it, you guys!

Look, he's turning his ass towards us!

- Who shut it off?

- Huh?

Huh?

It's Mamiya.

Are you about done?

- Next time, Takase.

- See ya.

That's pretty bad.

You're totally soaked.

Are you all right, Takase?

They threw cola on me yesterday.

But I did manage to throw a latte back.

They came after you

because of that. Right?

Hey, Makoto!

Did you watch the night game last night?

That Saito sure put the squeeze on.

Hm?

- Did you just look away?

- No, I didn't.

What are you up to?

Nothing.

What's going on? Tell me.

What's up your sleeve?

I said, nothing!

Huh?

What's the matter?

Konno, you...!

Why'd you ask me to fry the tempura?

Uh, well, I didn't think

that would happen!

This is all your fault, idiot!

What?! Who're you calling an idiot?!

Keep it up and I'll throw this!

Hey. Come on!

Fine! Throw it!

Sorry. Didn't mean to.

You idiot!

That guy's pretty rude.

He's calling everyone an idiot.

You're always calling me an idiot.

Yeah, but I say it out of love.

Where's your come back?

You're leaving me hanging.

Isn't she a little off today?

Don't you think so, Hayakawa?

Oh, uh... yes, indeed.

- What's with the polite talk?

- Well, we haven't spoken much before.

Makoto!

She's not here.

Why isn't she here?

- Did something happen?

- Huh?

No! Nothing!

I bet you said something that

pissed her off.

Don't say she's got big feet.

- She's self-conscious about that.

- I said, there was nothing!

Nothing!

At least I don't think so...

Whoa...!

Toss it back!

I can't throw while I'm thinking.

I don't know... I just don't get it.

Oh, it's just Yuri.

Mailbox:
Something great happened today!

What should I do?! Oh, it's just Yuri.

Mailbox:
Something great happened today! What

should I do?! "Something great happened today!"

"Something great happened today!"

Something great?

Mail Reply - Text:

Well?! What?! Tell me!

Mail Reply - Mail sent.

Hello? Oh, hi. Yeah. Hang on.

Yeah... Yeah...

I wonder what it was?

Hurry, let's go!

They're going to sell out!

Umm, I'm not feeling

very good today.

What?! You want to go

to the nurse's office?

Oh! Uh, I'm fine. I'll be okay.
