Izumi Akina

After waking up Chifuyu, Sora then heard an announcement from the school speakers.

"All students are advised to go home as a strong storm will be passing here in our city... I repeat..." It repeated a couple of times, and after the announcement. The before empty corridors are now packed with students as they raced for the entrance.

Sora and Chifuyu are walking out of the main building when they saw Takako standing near the entrance holding a purple umbrella with penguins on it.

"Takako!" Sora called, waving his hands while moving closer with Chifuyu by his side.

"Yo... oh... Chifuyu-sensei" Takako bowed seeing Chifuyu, and though she was quite close with sora and know that Sora and Chifuyu are like stepbrother and sister she still paid respect to her teacher.

Chifuyu just waved and paid no attention because she is still a little bit sleepy and especially because of the relaxing sound of the rain, she finds it a little serene to hear.

"Have you seen Izumi?" Sora asked, looking around the entrance. He recently texted Izumi who is his girlfriend to meet with him at the entrance of the building.

"I didn't," Takako said.

"Oh... there she is!" Sora said, pointing at the stairs.

Izumi saw him waving and smiled a little, she was rather shy on a sense, she's not popular or any sorts just your average high school girl, she has black hair, black eyes, and a cute face. Sora and Izumi met a couple of times before they seriously dated, she was quite familiar with him cause he often was in the library, that is where they got to know each other.

Sora, who was quite a bookworm often stayed in the library because he finds reading relaxing, there he also saw Izumi, one time Izumi sat near him where his reading table is and without knowing how, they ended up knowing each other a little better. What surprise Sora was when Izumi confessed to him, and Sora accepted it nicely because he finds her quite cute with her timid personality, they also have many common interests, and so that's where they started dating, it is exactly one month ago.

Izumi moved towards the group of Sora and bowed a little shyly though she has met these people before, she was not quite proficient at talking as the shy girl that she is only to Sora can she have a normal conversation.

"Now that everyone is here, Chifuyu-sensei, lead the way to your humble car," Sora said, patting the back of Chifuyu who's leaning on the wall.

"Why do I have the responsibility to take you to your homes? don't you have legs!?" Chifuyu said, rebuking him seeing him all happy smiles while patting her back.

"C'mon it's raining heavily and I also don't have an umbrella, and even though Takako has one we couldn't fit in one umbrella right?..." Sora said, reasoning with her while pointing as he talks.

"Hmmph... it's not my problem besides you have your bag you can make it a cover from the rain, also my apartment is on a different route than your and it's also quite far so give me a bit of slack." Chifuyu said, also pointing at his bag while giving her reasons to deny him.

"Umm... Sora-kun I have an extra umbrella with me in my locker... you can use that and return it later" Izumi said, interjecting in there conversation.

"Really!? That's great!... thank you, Izumi I'll return it later." Sora said, having a cheerful expression, Izumi then gave him her keys to her locker, and he ran off towards the second floor.

They stood there in silence for a while, but it was broken by a phone ringing, it was Chifuyus'.

Chifuyu looks at her phone and distances herself a little from them and took the phone call and sighed. She then walks back to Takako and Izumi.

"Tell Sora I'll be going, I have some errands. Tell him goodbye for me." Chifuyu said, as she ran towards the parking lot and open her car. and drove off.

"Have you told him yet?" Takako said, looking at the car driving off to the distance, and glared at Izumi.

"I... I was planning to." Izumi said, a little startled from the way Takako was glaring at her.

"You should tell him... Or I'll tell him myself." Takako said, with a slightly threatening tone.

"I... I'm sorry" Izumi said, having a guilty expression.

About a week before Sora and Izumi started dating, Izumi's big sister dared her to have a boyfriend for a month, seeing her all shy and timid her sister decided to do that to Izumi, to make her high school a little livelier, her sister is quite a delinquent on this school she has also gone back a year and is currently on the same year as her little sister, Izumi.

Izumis' big sister who was a delinquent before became a good student now because of Izumi helping her with her studies through teaching her on some subjects, and cheering for her for getting a high score on her exams, so she too decided to help Izumi to come out from her shell and become a bit more talkative and a bit more approachable.

The thought of daring Izumi to have a boyfriend was when Izumi's sister saw Izumi and Sora talking to each other on a normal conversation, which is quite rare for Izumi to do, that's why she decided this must be the first step for Izumi to become more open to people. She then dared her that if ever she got a better score than Izumi on a test Izumi has to do what she requests, and fortunately she did pass Izumi on the test, so Izumi has to oblige to her request and confessed to Sora.

Takako only knew of this when Sora told her that he recently got a girlfriend, she was quite shocked, how could an idiot like him got a girlfriend she thought, and when she knew the name she then massaged Izumi's sister who was her friend, there Izumi's sister knew that Takako would tell Sora about all this dare seeing how rightful of a person Takako is so she begged her to not tell Sora and said that it was for her sister, Takako agreed but has one condition, Izumi has to tell Sora about it when the one month time came.

"What's with the gloomy attitude?" Sora's voice that came from behind startled them a little but was quickly back to there usual composure.

"Let's go, before the rain got even worse," Sora said, opening his umbrella and stepping outside on the pouring rain.
