[Flashback]
[Three Week]

"How's it going Mr. Lovers man?" Kaede slumped her arms over my shoulders. "How's the progress commin'?"

"I feel really bad about this..."

"You're having doubts again? Are you kidding me Saihara..." She shook her head before whipping open her laptop. "He obviously didn't have any feelings for you if he's chatting with 'chiaki' like it's nothing."

My mind flashed back to a couple of days ago when Kokichi warned us about messing with him. "B-But Ouma.."

"Forget about Ouma. Tell me, who knows more? Me, your best friend who's done this before or Ouma, the little grape who can't even talk to a girl?"

"Y-You.... I guess.."

    "Damn right it's me— oh look! He's online!" She quickly rushed to the chatroom, opening it up and typing something in it. "Trust me, this is revenge."

"Revenge on who." An unknown voice asked. 'Shit, shit shit.' We turned around to a female with long dark pigtails.

"Ha-Hakuwara!" Kaede stood up, slamming shut her laptop. She gave the shorter female a small wave. "I f-forgot I was supposed to meet with you...!" Kaede started to frantically shove her laptop back into her pink backpack, "Sorry Saihara! How about we continue this la—"

"What are you two doing with Amami?"

"Wa-uh...What do you mean?"

"...your laptop."

Kaede sighed, falling back onto her chair she looked up at Maki with a fake laugh, "How did you know?"

"Saihara is a nervous wreak in the corner and I saw Amamis face on the icon." She pointed to me before continuing, "Answer my question."

"Fine..fine.. can you keep a secret?"

"...It depends on the type."

"Akamatsu.." I begged her, she shook off my hand and gave me a pat on the shoulders.

"I trust Hakuwara enough! She's friends with Momota!"

"....you could call us acquaintances..."

"But if word gets out, you won't be the one in trouble!" I cried. "Too many people already know.."

"Stop talking as if I weren't in front of you." Her red eyes blazed into our own. Kaede looked at me before handing me a thumbs up.

I should've tried harder to stop
her from telling our secret.
