Little Hearts in Your Heart

Chapters 22. Results and Comments

July, the first day of the final semester exam. Miki who was sitting at the back, with a serious face, her hands did not stop moving. His left hand covered the matter that had been shared. While his right hand did not stop scribbling the back of the answer sheet with strange and creepy images, and very unclear.

Another classmate was busy doing math exams. Kurumi, who was the supervisor that day, walked through between tables. He stopped next to Miki's desk. “What are you doing?” whispered.

Miki. Stretch out. Kurumi's hand patted the back of her.

Miki, of course there's no need to do anything. His name is not listed in the school book. So since then, he only thought of new characters for his horror novel that suddenly had to be added to make it interesting and hanging at the end. Before long, he sighed, propped up his chin, picked up a math problem and started working on it.

“Tak too hard,” murmured and it turned out to be heard in a class that was quiet. All

turned saw.

Kurumi in front of the class, glaring. “Arai-san, when you're done, there's no need to bother your other friend, ne.”

“Iya, sensei,” said Miki and lowered his head.

“I don't know how it turned out,” Megumi said. Kaori and Yoko let out a sigh. Miki just smiled, looking at them.

The four of them were sitting on a wide staircase leading to an upstairs balcony. It is now a break hour, after the first exam is over. Some kids are studying in the yard.

“You have tried your best,” said Miki, trying to calm down.

“Eh, can you do it all?” asked Yoko, who seemed a little curious.

“Ah?” Miki scratched her head. “Not really.”

“Miki-san seems to be able to do everything. Next time we learn together, well,” proposed Megumi.

“In Miki's apartment is very good,” Kaori said, teasing Miki.

“Good. I'm coming,” Yoko said in a serious tone.

“I won't invite you,” murmured Miki. “Already, let's go to class, you guys need to get ready.”

“I mean Miki, we, right?” kaori said, hugging Miki's hand.

“True. Is correct. We have to get ready, Minna.” Miki laughed, indistinct.

“Minna...” shouted Reki who walked over. Beside him was Hide who was half-running. “We bring bread and milk,” he said lifting the canteen.

“It was a snack before the test.”

They eat together.

“At least Hide will enter the hundred highest marks,” said Reki in between their meals. “This is the result because you bought us food.

Hide just smiled.

“Maybe Miki will also enter,” Megumi said and followed by a nod of Yoko.

“What way do you guys, I just don't do the thing,” Miki noticed his silent friends, “I mean not doing it well. Aah, I got curious about the result,” he said laughing.

“Miki-chan, weird yeah.”.

Megumi ran into the classroom, on her face did not lose her smile. “Hide entered the top hundred, seventy-one,” his info on his classmates.

All the classmates looked over and congratulated their class leader. Hide just smiled, misbehaved. He turned to Miki who patted his head slowly.

“You're great, Hide,” compliment Miki.

“Thank you, Miki-chan,” said Hide, timidly.

Kaori flipped her chair, “Ei, Hide, why do you always sit next to Miki, that's Reki's place, right.”

“What's wrong, Kaori? Reki's not there either,” Hide said.

Kaori sneered. He couldn't ask about Miki's script. He sighed. He can't stay still much longer. “Ohiya, Miki, you know he said Redy-sensei will issue Collecting Ghost.”

“Eh,” Miki exclaimed, loud, how many things Kaori is at stake.

“Backside Redy-sensei,” Kaori justify. “I'll send you later. I'm asking Miki, right now,” his siss.

Miki moved her lips, nagging Kaori. And Kaori just smiled, innocent. “So how is the script Redy-sensei?”

“You're talking about the script Redy-sensei?” Eiji who just entered the class, joined. “Can? You mean the novel?”

Kaori nodded. “Collecting Ghost. Will be out early next month. In this summer,” he said smiling.

“Ei, Kaori-chan, ne, I laughed reading it. So Redy-sensei will continue it, well.”

“Eh?” miki's eyes grew bigger. “Why are you laughing? Isn't that horror?”

“Ehm? Etoo,” Eiji thought, “Combine many ghosts from different countries, is not it very funny,” he said and laughed.

“Ah?” Miki exclaimed, her face looks very strange.

Yoko who has since sat in her chair, turned around, “I also laughed,” she said with a serious face. “But, that's good.”

“Ne, who said no good,” sneer Eiji.  “Only the horror rate is less.”

“But I like,” said Yoko, not to lose. “Horror comedy? That sounds good.”

“Where is horror comedy?” Eiji snorted, but he was silent as Yoko glanced at him cynically.

Megumi, who had just been silent, also commented. “But, do you think Hikaru-kun will fall in love with the ghost of Sakura-chan? Until last, Redy-sensei did not write further.  Moreover, Sakura-chan told the figure of a beautiful ghost, she also does not necessarily know where her body is, maybe she is still lying in a coma in one of the hospitals. So Hikaru-kun will help..” explains Megumi, long-width.

“Don't dream, Megumi,” says Kaori, holding back laughter. “If you knew Redy-sensei was never dating let alone another romance story, so you could say he would not be able to tell about the story of romance.”

“Ei? Kaori, you look like you know her,” said Eiji, in a mocking tone.

“But, Riri-chan,” Hide voice open, “if I read from all his novels, Redy-sensei just can't express his feelings. So, there is a little part that feels bland.”

Kaori glanced at Miki who had been silent since. “What are you talking about Hide? You said you were a fan.”

“I really like all the writing. I just added your comment,” Hide sneered.

“Then how about the development of his Romance novel,” Megumi murmured, “Redy-sensei might lose. I don't really like the news from Suzuki Aiko with the Director of publishing it. You think the man that Redy-sensei likes, is the same as Aiko's current lover?”

They just shrug their shoulders.

“But, Miki-chan, why has it been silent?” tanya Hide, “do not read novels well?”

“Ah?” Miki shook her head, slowly. “I read,” he said laugh.  “Ohiya, news about Redy-sensei who likes the man, is not true at all.”

“Eh? Did ya? Then why are they betting?” ask them with Miki's statement.

Yoko looked back. “That's because, the couple just made use of the name Redy-sensei, making Aiko-sensei's novel will be searched. They lied to Redy-sensei. And Redy-sensei stuck.”

Miki laughed, broken. “Yoko, you don't have to say it with such a serious face.”

“I became curious about the results of his romance,” said Megumi, sighing.

Miki let out a breath. He has to produce the best and get good comments.

Miki sat in front of his laptonya. He was talking to Editor Chio on the phone. “Then how?”

“You don't seem to have a sense of humor, but you make people laugh. So, why not just let it go,” Chio's voice sounded. “Write as usual only.”

Miki sighed. “Send to you tomorrow, Chio editor. See you,” Miki ends the call and starts typing on her laptop keyboard. After typing a few paragraphs, he stopped, pressed *backsp*ace, he said,

longtime. “Very pushy,” muttered, not because of his pushy paragraphs funny, but he remembered Megumi's comment, “ah, I can't write like that.”
