Chapter 4 Step 1

"The plan starts now..."

"w- whhatt?? NOW!?"

"Yeah, after school. But don't worry, we will only take it slow. Like getting information about him through his girlfriends... Though I don't know what excuse should i come up with when asking... information... hehe" Sato said as she heavily sighed in the end of the sentence.

"I know. Leave it to me!" Aiko boasted.

"Ya' sure?" Sato said in an "unsure" tone.

"Yes... maybe...? Maybe i can think of excuses!" Aiko pouted.

"K' sure" Sato agreed.

As the bell rang, they walked apart due to their different classes.

"Ok class, i have a little announcement. As our academy is different from other schools. Instead of attending festivals, you will be attending to a prom."

The supervisor announced as the students started talking, whispering and murmuring about going to a prom or about gowns.

"BAAM BAAM BAAM" The sound of a desk being slammed by an instructor.

"ENOUGH TALKING.. ehhem. Anyways, about your partners.." The educator said as he took a piece of bond paper in his book.

" ### to ###, #### to ##, ##.... and lastly, Kayama-san to Kuzukawa-kun" The instructor stated as he finished pairing students.

"Anyways, I will be going now. Everyone, you can go home now." The instructor announced as he left the classroom. Some students also left the room to go to their dorms but some students stayed for awhile. Aiko and her friends also stayed to the room.

"Huh, so i will be paired with Hiro-kun huh?..." Aiko sighed in relief.

"Thank God I'm paired with him, I don't want to be paired with other boys I'm not familiar with. That would be very uncomfortable." She added.

"m-ME P-P-PA-PAIRED W-WITH K-K-K-KA-KAYA-KAYAMA-SAN!?!?!?!?!?!" Hiro thought as he panicked in his head and a bright shade of red can see through his cheeks. "oh no no no no no no WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?" Hiro nervously thought as he covered his face with his palm.

"A.. are you ok Hiro-kun? You look a little... Red..?" Kira asked him in a confused tone.

"Oh- uhh.. ye-yeah I'm ok!"

"Ok? Anyways, This is for you. But don't misunderstood, my mom said I should give it to you. There's also one for Aiko." Kira said as she gave a simple gift to Hiro.

"Wow, what does it contains inside?" Hiro said as he shook the box.

"Open it yourself dumbass" Kira pouted.

"Hahaha... Anyways, Thank you Kira" Hiro said as he warmly smiled at Kira.

"Your welcome, anyways I'll go to Aiko to give the same gift" Kira said as she smiled back at Hiro.

"Ok.." Hiro said as he blushed a bright pink as Kira said the name "Aiko".

As Kira walked closer to Aiko, She felt a weird aura from Aiko. She had noticed something different from Aiko. Usually Aiko would pack and leave immediately, but she didn't. Instead, she looked liked she was waiting for someone in the door. But Kira ignored those and walked closer to Aiko. But before she could say anything, someone already called for her.

"AIKOO!!! LET'S GO TO THE DORM TOGETHER!!!" Sato happily shouted as she walked through the classroom without any warning.

The students in the classroom were speechless. They stared at Sato and some of them glared at Aiko, especially boys who had a crush on Sato.

"Ok ok sure, just- don't shout in the classroom" Aiko sighed as she stood up and and walked closer to Sato. Before Aiko could get any closer to Sato, Sato already took her hand and walked as fast as they could. Sato Dragged Aiko somewhere.

The students would start murmuring and gossiping about Sato coming in the classroom just to get Aiko. Even Kira couldn't believe it. She was supposed to give the gift to Aiko but she already left. With someone else. That she couldn't even think of them getting along. Sadness and jealousy covered Kira's emotions as she looked at the gift she was supposed give to Aiko.

"Just when did they got close?" Kira quietly said as she turned around and walked back to her chair and kept the gift inside her bag.

"Are you ok?" Hiro asked as he came at Kira.

"Yeah... maybe.." Kira said with a forced smile.

"I know your not ok. Kira I know you might be wondering why Takahashi-senpai and Aiko got to be friends. I am confused too... It's just hard to believe that they could be friends..." Hiro stated as he scratched his head.

Kira stayed quiet.

"Ahh anyways, thanks about the gift again. I really appreciated it" Hiro said as he smiled once again.

"It's nothing. My mom just came from another place and that's just a souvenir."

"Ohh I guess your mom has a nice souvenir taste huh? haha" Hiro jokingly said.

"pfft. hahaha" Kira laughed.

"Thanks, you made me feel better" Kira stated as she warmly smiled with her heart's content.

"Glad to be at your service" Hiro said as he placed his right palm at his heart and bowed.

"Haha. You're like a butler" Kira joked.

"I'm not!" Hiro pouted as he disagreed.

"Awww You're like a manly man when your serious but when you pouted, your just cute like a bunny" Kira joked once again.

"I'M NOT!!!" Hiro shouted as he blushed a little bit due to embarrasment. Some students heard Hiro shouted so some of them looked in Hiro's way.

"Ahh I'm sorry for shouting..." Hiro apologized to the crowd.

As Hiro and Kira would continue their converstion, Sato would still drag Aiko.

"H-hey stop dragging me!!! I'm already exhausted..." Aiko shouted as she tried stopping Sato from dragging her.

"No can do miss, since we have to hurry!"

"Wait, WHY ARE WE GOING OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL!?!?!?!" Aiko panicked.

"Please shut up, we have to hurry!" Sato stated as she ran as fast as she can while dragging Aiko with her.

"Ok fine but please can you tell me where are we goi-" Before she could finish her sentence. She bumped her head at Sato's back.

"WE HAVE ARRIVED AT HANAYU'S CAFE" Sato happily declared as she went inside the cafe while dragging Aiko.

"...what are we doing at a cafe?" Aiko emptily said.

"You'll know when we get inside" Sato said as she winked. Aiko sighed.

"Ok fine let's go"
