“Did you not bring your textbook?”

“Yeah.”

You really didn't.

There was no textbook anywhere to be seen. She seemed to have been in such a hurry to get out that she hadn't even brought her pencil case.

“Okay.”

I had no choice but to open my textbook. I placed it along the boundary between our desks.

“Oh, and. Can I borrow one mechanical pencil?”

“……”

I took out a spare mechanical pencil from my pencil case and held it out. Since I was giving it to her anyway, I also tore out a page from my notebook for her.

“Thankies.”...
