Episode 7/Screenplay

SCENE 1
[Episode 7 Title Card]

[Setting: Dorm.]

[Morning. Inside Suzune Horikita’s room. The window curtain is closed. Suzune Horikita is sleeping on her side. The alarm that resembles a teddy bear that is on top of Suzune Horikita’s bed rings.]

[Suzune Horikita moves a little bit to reach for the alarm. She sits down on her bed afterwards.]

[Suzune Horikita sighs.]

[Suzune Horikita stands up and stretched her muscles to be awakened. She opens the curtain afterwards.]

[At the wall closed to her desk, there’s a list of summer plan that Suzune Horikita prepared. The first is her life schedule which is composed of 6 hours of sleep, and three successive pairs of an hour of eating and 5-hour study. The second one is her ultimate goal – to reach A-Class. The last one is her daily activity chart for this season.]

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): We finished our term finals and began our summer vacation.

[Suzune Horikita took a bath. After she’s done, she received a call from Kiyotaka Ayanokōji. But then she turned his call down.]

[For the second time, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji calls Suzune Horikita and similar to the prior case, she turned him down.]

[Kiyotaka Ayanokōji persistently call her that is why for the third time Suzune Horikita gave him a chance to talk.]

Suzune Horikita: Can’t you tell when you’re being rejected?

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Horikita.



Suzune Horikita: What?

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Want to go to the pool toge-

(Opening Song)

[SCENE 2]

[Setting: One of the school’s back alleys.]

[This is the setting where Manabu Horikita and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji first encountered each other.]

[Evening. The rain pours moderately. There are four people at the scene. Three are wearing rain coats while the other one is holding an umbrella.]

Ken Sudō: We’re steaming out here. Where is he?

[Someone immediately shows up in the scene. Wearing similar attire like the other three do. He’s also equipped with tools on his hands. Probably related to their operation tonight.]

Haruki Yamauchi: Sorry I’m late.

Ken Sudō: I told you to be on time!

Kanji Ike: You got all the stuff we need, though, right?

Ken Sudō: Yeah, of course

Kanji Ike: Don’t get the set-up point wrong. Operation: Peep on the Girls’ Dressing Room.

Ken Sudō: This will help us alleviate our loneliness

[In this plan, this involves a special commander and four Argos members. This will be revealed later.]

SCENE 3
[Setting: Locale of Dormitories.]

[Morning.]

[Suzune Horikita packs all the accessories and stuff that she needs at swimming pool. After she’s done, she went out of the dormitory building.]

Suzune Horikita: [Sighs] I have a bad feeling about this.



Yōsuke Hirata: Huh? Horikita-san? It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

[Yōsuke Hirata and Kei Karuizawa walks towards to Suzune Horikita.]

Kei Karuizawa: Wow, Horikita-san! You’re not dead? I haven’t seen you at all since summer break started.

Suzune Horikita: I merely had no need to see you people.

Kei Karuizawa (Annoyed): Oh?

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): Kei Karuizawa. With Kushida-san, she’s one of the leaders of the two class D girl cliques. Dating Hirata-kun has recently increased her influence in the class.

[Screen Text: Kei Karuizawa.

One of the students at the top of the Class D hierarchy. Because of that, she has influence among the female students on par with Kikyō Kushida. At the moment, she’s dating Class D’s effective leader, Yōsuke Hirata, which is strengthening her position. She’s easygoing and a bit frivolous. She’s reckless with money and blew the 100,000 points she initially received on fashion and accessories. Afterwards, she got most of the girls in the class to give her some points, and used them to finance her lifestyle. Seems often lacking in caution and consideration, but unlike Ken Sudō, she shows no signs of causing problems at this time.]

Suzune Horikita: And Yōsuke Hirata. A central figure among the class D boys and above average both in grades and in sports. He’s also gregarious. I’m unable to grasp why he was placed into the “loser” Class D.

[Screen Text: Yōsuke Hirata.

The effective leader of Class D. Above average in both academics and athletics. He is forthright and considerate to others. No signs of problematic behavior. He also earned the trust of students and teachers as a central figure in his middle school class. In both personality and abilities, he could be considered excellent, so many wonder why he was placed in Class D, the class of defectives. Kind and attractive, he’s very popular with girls. This popularity is limited not just to those in his own class, but earns him attention from girls in other classes, as well. At the moment, he’s dating Kei Karuizawa, a central figure among the Class D girls. He is often seen with her around school.]

Yōsuke Hirata: Horikita-san, why don’t you come hang out with your Class D friend from time to time?

Suzune Horikita: I have no need for that. It would be significantly more effective to use the time studying or reading.



Kei Karuizawa (Infuriated): Oh, is that so? Let’s go, Hirata-kun. I guess Horikita-san doesn’t want to talk to us.

Yōsuke Hirata: See you around, Horikita-san.

[Yōsuke Hirata and Kei Karuizawa went out of the scene.]

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): I don’t need close companions. I’ve lived by myself all this time.

SCENE 4
[Setting: D-Class Group Meeting Place.]



Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): What, then, am I doing here?

[The meeting place is a rain shelter near the school. There, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, Suzune Horikita, Airi Sakura and Kikyō Kushida are waiting for the rest in their group.]

Kikyō Kushida: You don’t have any sunburn at all Sakura-san. Lucky! I’m so glad you’re coming with us, too, Horikita-san.

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): Kikyō Kushida. The image of benevolence, liked by both men and women. But I think she hates me.

[Screen Text: Kikyō Kushida.

One of the central figures among the Class D girls. She claims she wants to befriend everyone in the school, and has friends among students of every class, year, and gender. Her good looks and cheerful demeanor mean she’s naturally popular with men, but she’s popular with women, too. This may be because she takes a lot of time to interact with her fellow girls, and is very caring toward then. Many students respect her, which means she has tremendous influence within the class. She also does well in both athletics and academics. On top of that, her communication skills are excellent. She achieved the top grade in the class on the interview portion of her entrance exam.]

Kikyō Kushida: I was hoping we could use this trip to get closer. Okay?

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): But why is it that when she hates someone, she tries to get closer to them? I don’t get it.

Kikyō Kushida: What is it?

Suzune Horikita: Where are Ike-kun, Yamauchi-kun and Sudo-kun? They’re not here yet?

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Yeah, I guess they were held up.

[From far away.]

Kanji Ike: Sorry for the wait!

[Kanji Ike, Ken Sudō and Haruki Yamauchi approach the group.]

Kanji Ike: We overslept, sorry

Airi Sakura: You overslept... but you're coming from the direction of the pool?

[The boys get nervous after realizing.]

Kanji Ike: W-Well

Haruki Yamauchi: D-Don't sweat the details!

Ken Sudō: A-A-Anyway, let's hurry!

Kikyō Kushida: Yeah, let's go! Let's go!

[The group start to walk. Kanji Ike and Yamauchi look at each other.]

Kanji Ike: [--.- .|-…|..--.|.-|--.-.|-.]

Haruki Yamauchi: [-..-|-. ..|..-. .--|.-.-.|---.-|-…|--.--|-.--.]

[The conversation above by Kanji Ike and Haruki Yamauchi is an exchange of, the Japanese counterpart of. They use pointing finger gesture for every "-" (Dah) while thumb pushing gesture for every "." (Dit)]

[The boys are startled.]

Honami Ichinose: Oh... hey!

[Honami Ichinose waves at the group while accompanied by several classmates, namely, Ryūji Kanzaki, Chihiro Shiranami, Mako Amikura and Sō Shibata.]]

Honami Ichinose: You guys going to the pool too?

SCENE 5
[Setting: Girl's changing room]

Honami Ichinose: Today's the last day it's open, after all.

[The girls are changing into swimsuits.]

Kikyō Kushida: Yeah. Some others might come too.

[Suzune stares at Ichinose]

Suzune Horikita: How long has your chest been that way?

[Ichinose was changing but stops. She gasps at the question.]

Honami Ichinose: What? How long?

[Lifts her chest.]

Honami Ichinose: Since the third year of middle school, I think. It just kept getting bigger.

[Looks at Suzune.]

Honami Ichinose: What about it?

Suzune Horikita: No reason. I now understand... why you always seem to have more going on than you can handle.

[Kikyō looks at Sakura who is changing into rash guard]

Kikyō Kushida: Speaking of which, this might be the first time we've hung out with you, Sakura-san. Do you like swimming pools?

[Airi Sakura zipping up her suit]

Airi Sakura: N-No, not especially... Ayanokōji-kun invited me, so...

Honami Ichinose (Teasing manner): I see, I see! So it's because Ayanokōji-kun invited you!

Airi Sakura (nervously): Wh-What do you mean?

[Kikyō changing into her suit.]

Kikyō Kushida: There's been a lot more people hanging out with Ayanokōji-kun lately. He seems to have gotten closer with Ichinose-san, too.

Suzune Horikita: That's true.

[Ichinose is smiling in response.]

Suzune Horikita (Soliloquy): Honami Ichinose
