(psst.. you're haruka)

It's the day of the school festival in Miyamasuzuka High. The halls were immediately crowded by students walking out of their classrooms. As Minori spotted you, she immediately tried to go to you, but eventually fell due to the large crowds.

"Waah!", Her yelp immediately grabbed your attention just as she wanted to tell you something. She immediately jumped up in embarrassment as soon as she saw you.

"Oh thank god.. I thought I'd lose you!", she said before asking you to come to the rooftop. She started to visibly sweat as soon ad you agreed, but grabbed your hand and lead you there.

As soon as Minori wanted to say what she wanted, her bullies called you.

"Hey, Haruka! We've got to tell you something so unexpected!"

You had a bad feeling about it, but as much as you knew how they are, you had to.

"Yo, did you know that Minori isー

Her blood ran cold, Minori was visibly shaking and on the verge of tears. You gasped, unable to process their words.

Minori was embarrassed and hurt that what she was about to say was spoiled after gathering the courage for so long. She immediately ran to the hallway as you yelled out her name. She stopped, facing you backwards.

"I'm sorry..." She mumbled out with her voice wavering. She was crying of course, despite not seeing her face. She ran away shortly.

You yelled out her name, and eventually cried too. Negative possibilities of what will happen to MORE MORE JUMP! ran across your mind, causing your heart to beat faster and faster.

Eventually, the festival was over and everyone had to return home. You opened the door and walked in with your head lowered, sniffling. You didn't even have the energy to do anything, you just went to your room.
