The next day finds Sora and Ginger once again in the midst of their daily routines. They avoid each other as best they can, but with their lockers side-by-side it's not easy to do for long. As the day progresses, Sora can't help but steal glances at Ginger whenever she isn't looking, his heart racing every time their eyes meet.

Finally, during lunch period, Sora musters up the courage to speak again.

"Hey," he starts softly, sitting down on the track beside her instead of across from her this time. "I know we've been avoiding each other and all, but... I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for acting so weird yesterday." He pauses, swallowing hard before continuing. "And I care about you, Ginger. Even if it doesn't always seem like it."

There's another long silence as they both stare at the ground, lost in their own thoughts once more.
