Midori fell silent. Akemi didn't want her around... oh, no, was she just causing trouble? She didn't want to cause trouble... she wanted it to be nice, she wanted to give Akemi a gift! And now... now she was just making trouble... she was no better then those boys... This wasn't what she wanted at all! Midori immediately looked down at her feet, clutching her bag against her chest harder as... now the boys were approaching, and one of them speaking to her. They were trash! They were horrible trash! If they hadn't been here, Akemi would have been fine and she could talk to her and give her the gift... but no, they had to show up and talk to the lovely girl. They ruined it! They probably wanted her didn't they?!

Fingers trembled over Midori's bag and then froze. No, no, she wouldn't do that she couldn't... but if they dared to do anything that upset Akemi ever... Midori looked up weakly... then immediately back down. When she spoke, her voice was weak and wavering.

"... I-I... w-wanted... A-Akemi-sempai... w-wanted to... g-give you..."

The girl's voice trailed off into silence. She didn't even acknowledge that one of the boys had spoken to her. No, her attention was fully on the wonderful girl. Maybe she could still give her gift...
