It was the afternoon English class and Ren stared at the textbook with the most utmost seriousness but the words blurred together.
"Detention until 6:00 PM."
"But trials start Thursday at 6:00 PM."
"It'll take me Fifteen-minute sprint to the Old Hanasakura Shopping Arcade, if I run the entire way."
"Can I make it five days in a row? Two weeks?"
His phone buzzed silently in his pocket. Ren glanced at the teacher who was writing on the board, his back turned to the class.
Carefully, Ren pulled out his phone under the desk.
It was an unsaved number. "Heard about Hanagaki's detention play. Don't worry. We've adjusted the schedule. Just be ready. -M"
Matsuno.
Ren stared at the message. "How does he already know that?"
Then he remembered.
Hasegawa said they had him under surveillance.
Of course Sakuratei had eyes in the school.
Maybe a sympathetic teacher.
Maybe cameras of their own.
He typed back quickly. "Adjusted how? I can't miss detention."
