*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.
