Ponytail girl tells them that in the popularity contest, a certain Alice won third place for popular girl and a certain Rabbit won the first place for popular guy. Makoto is surprised by this. Iriya winks and gives her an okay sign. Makoto is really happy that she hopes she can be like this next year with everyone, smiling until it hurts. Soon, it is back to school and Uki is dead tired after the festival. Yusa happily gives Makoto a CD copy of his performance. Before going to the faculty office, Iriya tells Makoto if she has time after school. Makoto says yes, and they agreed to meet. As Iriya goes out with Yusa who is pestering him about it, Uki teases Makoto that today will become an anniversary day. Then, Makoto recalls that it is her birthday today on October 4. Her friends scold her for forgetting about this. Uki comments that her birthday would be the anniversary day of the confession. Makoto says that it is still not definite. Uki is sure that this will happen and suggests to Makoto that she must tell Iriya that it is her birthday for she might get a gift from him..of this and that. Makoto blushes really red. It makes Nanami wonder what Uki told Makoto. Soon, Makoto is waiting by the shoe lockers. She blames Uki for making her super nervous. She checks her looks on the mirror if she looks okay. She starts to wonder if she is expecting too much and what if it isn’t about that. She prays to God that she would be at her best for today. Just then, some guys are passing by. They are from another school who are going there for some club activity. A guy bumps into Makoto. The guy turns around to apologize. Then, they look surprised at each other. The surprised guy mutters, “..Kisaragi.” Makoto recalls him during her junior high. Just when Iriya is heading downstairs, Makoto mutters, “..Watase-kun..”
