Confused by the fuss,
I decided to ask a nearby classmate.

"What is going on?" 

The female classmate I was addressing
turned around in surprise at my question.

        "You mean you don't know?"

Jun, Kame, Shuu, and I exchanged looks.

"What are you talking about?"

Kame asked to clarify.

The girl looked carefully to both sides
before leaning in to share her information with us.

         "I'm talking about the new student."
