CHILDHOOD FRIENDS STUDY:


AKI: "I'll see you tomorrow."



AYUMU: "U-Um, Aki, do you happen to be free tonight?"


AKI: "Hm? I'm just planning on going home and studying. What's up?"



AYUMU: "Do you think we could...study together? I'm not feeling very confident about tomorrow's tests."


AKI: "I don't mind at all! Let's do it!"



AYUMU: "Thanks!"


AKI: "No need to thank me, Ayu. It'll help with my studies as well, and I wanna make sure I get good grades on this stuff too. Not just math."


AYUMU: "Yeah! I don't want just 60, I want a perfect score! Mifune won't have a thing to complain about if we ace our tests, will she?"


AKI: "We can finally tell her to stop her nitpicking if we get a perfect score."


AYUMU: "I've gotta study hard then!"


AKI: "Sounds like you're pretty fired up about this. How about we both aim for perfect scores?"


AYUMU: "Okay!"


AKI: "Sweet! Then come over to my place after dinner."


AYUMU: "Can I bring some snacks?"


AKI: "Haha, if you do, then I'll put on some good tea for us."


...



AYUMU: "Coming in!"


AKI: "Glad you're here! You wanna relax a bit before we start?"


AYUMU: "I'm ready whenever!"


AKI: "Ahaha, then let's study like we've never studied before!"



AYUMU: "Yeah!"


AKI: "What should we start with? Classical literature or world history?"


AYUMU: "Let's go with classical literature."


AKI: "The exam's gonna cover pages 57 to 80. Let's pull out our notes and start reviewing. Um..."



AYUMU: "Wow, your notes are written so nicely! And they're so easy to read, too!"


AKI: "You think so?"



AYUMU: "I sure do. They're like the perfect example of what notes should look like!"


AKI: "Calling them a perfect example might be a stretch. But, Nozomi did teach me one or two things about notes."


AYUMU: "Wow! I should ask her for help, too!"


AKI: "T-Trust me you don't want to do that..."


AYUMU: "Huh? Why not?"


AKI: "Because she's......let's say her sessions are way too  intense. Besides, your notes are great the way they are."


AYUMU: "You really think so?"


AKI: "Of course!"



AYUMU: *Giggle*


AKI: "Hm? Did I say something funny?"


AYUMU: "No, no! I was just laughing at how this feels like the old days."


AKI: "The old days?"



AYUMU: "Remember back in elementary school, how we used to split up our homework so we could finish quicker and go play? This just reminds me of that."


AKI: "Oh, is that all? I guess we really have known each other for a long time, huh?"



AYUMU: "We've been friends for so long. I'm hoping we'll be together 'till we're both old and grey."


AKI: "I want that, too. Being around you is so much fun. I want to be with you forever, Ayu."



AYUMU: "R-Really? You mean that?"


AKI: "Sure, I hope we stay friends forever."


AYUMU: "Oh..."


AKI: "Hm? You don't believe me?"



AYUMU: "No, that's not it. *Giggle* It...It just makes me...happy to hear you say that."


AKI: "You don't sound convinced."


AYUMU: "N-No! I mean it!"


AKI: "Here's to many more years of friendship."



AYUMU: "I might be a bit of a ditz, but here's to many more years together!"


AKI: *Laugh* "We can be ditzes together!"


AYUMU: "Yeah! Let's-"


*RIIING*



AKI: "Oh, I just got a text from Kasumi. Let's see... She wants me to explain how to answer a question because she doesn't get it.
Oh, I know this question now! Yeah, it is a bit tricky. You've gotta do it like this...and then it's like this for that one..."


AYUMU: "Sounds like Kasumi's studying for the exams, too."


AKI: "Yeah, she's doing a great job."


AYUMU: "She does work hard aft-"


*RIIING*



AKI: "Now Chika's texting me. Apparently, she had her first exams today, too. I'll just give her some words of encouragement."


AYUMU: "Everyone's really putting their minds to it. You think we can all score over 60?"


AKI: "It'll be fine! You're all such hard workers, and you've put up with all kinds of hard practice too. A couple exams are nothing."


AYUMU: "Yeah! These should be ea-"


*RIIING*



AYUMU: "Who's messaging you this time?"


AKI: "Let's see. Oh, it's Rina."


AYUMU: "Seems like everyone really looks to you for help. I guess that goes for me too, though."


AKI: "You think?"



AYUMU: "I sure d-"


*RIIING*



AYUMU: "Who is it now?!"


AKI: "Eli wishes me good luck on my exams."



AYUMU: "Good grief! Don't blame me if you flunk your exams because you've been playing with your phone this whole time!"


AKI: "Yikes, I can't let that happen! I'm supposed to get a perfect score with you! All right, sorry everyone, but I'm gonna turn off my phone while I study."


*RIIING*


AYUMU: "Hmmm?!"


AKI: "It's from You, she wishes everyone the best of luck."


AYUMU: "Good, now phone off."


AKI: "Okay, okay, it's off..."



AYUMU: "Yep! This is your time with me!"
