That night, Shinichi and Ran had trouble sleeping. "How can I solve this problem," Shinichi thought. "I'm sure Sonoko will tell everyone in the class what happened. Tomorrow, I will surely explain to Ran. This is the only way to solve it." Meanwhile Ran was having trouble sleeping, for the image of Shinichi and Shiho floated in her mind, that she cannot sleep. "If only he knew how hurt I was."she said to herself.
When Shinichi got to school the next day, the whole class was talking about what happened the day before. As Shinichi sat down, Sonoko yelled at him. "Kudo Shinichi, you two-timer! Don't you know how hurt Ran was when he saw you two? Hmph." After thaat, some other classmates of his also began yelling at him. They kept shouting until Ran shouted. "Can you please stop!" Ran yelled. "Go mind your own business." They all kept quiet after that.
After school, Shinichi went to Ran. "Ran, about yesterday," he said. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. It's just that--" "Just what?" Ran said. "Umm..." "I think I know. You and Shiho went to a date and you were about to kiss her when Sonoko and I arrived." she continued. "Ran, I'm really sorry." he said. Then, Ran suddenly hugged him. "I've always loved you, Shinichi. I feel really annoyed when some other girl gets too near you." she said. "Especially that Shiho girl." Meanwhile, Shiho forgot her bag inside the cassroom. She went in and found them. "Kudou-kun," she said, tears falling down her cheek. "I just forgot my bag. I'll go get it." She brushed of her tears when suddenly Ran said. "Shinichi it's time for you to hoose. Who do you love more, me or Shiho." Shinichi stood in shock. Then he said. "The person who I love more is..."
