*Yashy beams happily, raising her hand triumphantly.*
Yashy: Whooo!! It’s over! It’s really over!

*Lucy, Yashy and Mike sit at their desks in class. Mike has a hand on his head, frowning as he looks at Yashy, who’s hanging on Lucy’s desk. Lucy looks skeptically at Yashy.*
Lucy: It’s not like you had to suffer through these finals..
Yashy: You kept me up all those late nights studying!

*Lucy, Yashy and Mike look over at their teacher, Mr. Noodles.*
Mr. Noodles: Well, class! You should be very proud of yourselves! Another year of school completed!

*Mr. Noodles gestures with one hand and puts the other behind his back. David and Mike watch him carefully.*
Mr. Noodles: Report cards will be going out in the first weeks of summer break. For some of you, your educational prospects are looking very bright indeed!
*David gazes admiringly at Mr. Noodles. Sparkles appear around him.*
David: Mr. Noodles..

*Lucy and Yashy sit at her desk. Lucy rests her head on her hand and looks worried.*
Lucy: I wonder if I’ll lose my place in CP English.. I think I screwed that one up.
*Yashy grins encouragingly, waving an arm.*
Yashy: You kiddin’? You got like constant Cs!

Mr. Noodles: See you all next year! Have a safe summer!
*Mike, Lucy and Yashy start to leave the classroom. Lucy holds Yashy, who beams up at her.*
Lucy: Do you even know what C means?!
Yashy: Ya! “Correct”!
*Daisy hurries into the class, waving at Mike.*
Daisy: Mikie!!
*Mike glances curiously at Daisy as he gets up from his desk.*
Mike: Mm?

*Daisy gazes nervously at Mike, blushing. Her ears are down. Mike looks at her curiously. Faceless students fill the classroom behind him.*
Daisy: Um.. I just wanted to..

*Mike smiles awkwardly. He starts walking, pointing ahead.*
Mike: We’re gonna be late.. You can, um, walk with me..
*Daisy holds her books to her chest, staring at Mike in surprise. She starts walking with him.*
Daisy: You wanna talk?

*Mike looks questioningly at her, one eyebrow raised.*
Mike: Why wouldn’t I?
*Daisy blushes and taps her fingertips together, flustered.*
Daisy: Um.. You know..

*Daisy and Mike walk through the halls, passing anonymous students. Daisy looks anxiously at Mike, holding her books tight.*
Daisy: I was really horrible that night we went to the..
*Mike smiles awkwardly and holds up his hands.*
Mike: Oh, Daisy, don’t worry!

*Daisy stares at Mike in disbelief.*
Daisy: Hm?
*Mike grins uncomfortably, blushing and closing his eyes. His ears are down.*
Mike: One night isn’t gonna make me hate you or anything..

*Mike stops walking and puts his hands on his hips, staring anxiously at Daisy.*
Mike: Come on, is that why you’ve been avoiding me all week?
*Daisy blushes and puts her hand to her face, smiling in embarrassment.*
Daisy: Hah, yeah..
Mike: I thought YOU were mad at me.. I wasn’t very nice to you that night..

*Mike frowns worriedly at Daisy.*
Mike: I’m really sorry for yelling at you.. I kinda wish we could just undo it and go back to the way we were..

*Daisy looks up at Mike, smiling in relief.*
Mike: And I mean WAY back.. Because I still think I’ve been a bad friend recently.. Would that be alright with you?

*Daisy, blushing and smiling, throws her arms around Mike, knocking him backward. Mike blushes, stunned.*
Daisy: Yes!! Mikie, that’d be perfect!

*Daisy smiles contentedly, resting her face on Mike’s chest.*
Daisy: I was just so worried.. I don’t want to lose you completely..

*Mike smiles down at Daisy.*
Mike:

*Tess, Sue, David and John stand in a semi-circle around Mike and Daisy. Mike stands awkwardly, looking embarrassed.*
Mike: Err. We’re blocking the doorway..
*Daisy blushes in embarrassment, her arms still around Mike.*
Daisy: Oops.

Author commentary

Veronica: Wow, time keeps marching on! It’s already the end of freshman year????

Mike is such an endlessly forgiving person, even though Daisy kept OBLITERATING his boundaries. At least she knows not to do that again, and Mike still wants to be in her life and be a better friend. I think people have expressed annoyance in the past that Daisy was never taken to task for what she did, but Mike.. isn’t really the type to do that. Unless he’s REALLY pushed far enough, and I mean, he took her to task in “Love My Way” itself! Daisy is making it really clear she won’t do it again and that’s all Mike is looking for!
