Eleanor went to school like nothing happened. On their science class, Miss Fujioka paired up the students for their next activity. Eleanor was paired up with Sayuri Mei. Their presentation is that they would pick and research any topic that is related to biology and explain it to the class. Mei was excited because she thought that if Eleanor would talk to her even if it is just school related she would slowly be warm to everyone.

“Okay, I hope you are satisfied with the pairs that I have made and make sure that both of you will work, is that clear?” Miss Fujioka said and left for her next class.

Mei was looking forward to it while Eleanor was just staring outside the window. After their 2 subjects in the morning it was lunch time. Before Mei could talk go Eleanor, she left and went to the roof top to eat her lunch and gaze at the sky. Not long after she went up, Luca, Mistuo and Koemi were also in the rooftop having fun.

“Finallyy, its peaceful and quiet\~” koemi said with relief.

“Hey Luca, how is it going on with Leiko?” Mistuo asked.

“Ohhh, YOU ARE COURTING HER I REMEMBER.” Koemi added.

“Our boy is interested in first year student.. AHAHA” Mitsuo said.

While they were laughing and having fun at eachother’s stories, Luca saw Eleanor who was quietly eating and gazing at the sky while listening to some music.

“Hey koemi” Luca said.

“Isn’t that the girl from yesterday, the one in the convinient store.” he added.

“hmm, I did not know she is a student here.” Koemi said.

They continued to laugh at their story while Eleanor finishes her food and went back down to her classroom. When she got back, Mei was about to reach out to her but the bell rang for the next subject.

“I will just reach out to her later hehe” Mei said to herself while looking at Eleanor and went back to her seat.

After the last 2 subjects the cleaned up their classroom while Mei still hasn’t got a chance to talk to Eleanor.

“Mei, good luck with the ice princess (Eleanor).” Her friends told her.

“Yea, its quite hard to talk to her you know. She keeps her cold atmosphere around her.” another added.

“Ami, Reiko, don’t worry about me, but I do hope that she would talk to me.” Mei said.

While Mei and her friends were talking, Eleanor was done and was about to go out. Mei was able to asked her if she is free this afternoon.

“uhm, Fumiko, are you free this afternoon?” Mei asked and smiled.

“No.” Eleanor said.

“How about this Saturday?” Mei asked again.

“ok.” Eleanor said.

“heree i wrote my phone number so you can call or text me hehe” Mei said smiling.

Eleanor accepted the piece of paper and placed it inside her pocket amd left for her part time job.

“great job Mei.” Reiko said.

“ahaha\~ you think? I was sort of scared because she really is cold.” Mei said while trying to smile

“yes, sure sure, you’ll be finee” Ami said.

- AT THE CONVINIENT STORE -

“Hey kyoko, I heard that-”

“Oho\~ isn’t it our friend Eleanor?” Kyoko said.

Eleanor did not expect that Kyoko would talk to her like that even though she was scared she tried to remain calm and cold.

“That would be ¥450” Eleanor said in a cold tone.

“I did not know that you are working here.” Kyoko said and threw the money on the counter.

“I recieved ¥500” Eleanor said.

“here is you change” she added.

Kyoko went near her and whispered, “ Don’t worry, It’s not like I am going to harm you right now.”

After that she left, Eleanor tried to remain calm but the manager of the store noticed her and offered that she could go home early for today but Eleanor insisted she was alright and she could continue to work.
