Late Chapter is late.  I really do apologize. I'm going through a sort of writers-block fueled by depression because in my real life I am jobless and I have so many high aspiring dreams that I cannot financially support (dreams in the sense of going to a well-known art college in NYC or going to college in California) so any ideas you all have would really be appreciated. 

Also, please, don't just say "update soon"  because honestly, I am doing this story for me not for you guys so try t be more polite and give more depth to your comments. 

Sorry if I sound y but I am really going through a lot right now and my entire life has become some really tempermental on her period.

Anna was packing up the last of her equipment when she heard someone calling her name, turning around she saw Aiba running up to her

“Anna-Chan! Anna-Chan! Sho-Kun is here, he’s right outside.”

Aiba grabbed her hand and dragged her out the front door right u to Sho’s sports car.  After Aiba knocked on the glass, Sho rolled his window down giving Anna a big smile

“Konbow Wa Anna-San, it’s nice to see you again.  Genki desu ka?”

“Konbow Wa Sakurai-San, Genki Desu.”

“Oh that’s good, that’s good.”

“Anna-Chan! You should come with Sho-Kun and I to grab some dinner!” Aiba suggested, giving Anna a pair of puppy eyes.

“Now Aiba, you have no idea if she already had plans.”

“Iie, it’s not that I don’t, demo, I don’t want to be a bother.”

“Nonsense! It’s no bother!” Aiba insisted, opening the door for Anna

“Chotte Aiba-Chan, I have to go get my stuff.  Sakurai-San, is it really ok?” 

Sho looked at Anna, and then looked at Aiba standing behind her, his hands were folded together while his lips formed the words Please oh please oh please over and over again.  Sighing he nodded

“It’s fine.”

Anna nodded and Aiba squealed, getting into the car the two waited until she returned.

“Aiba, what are you thinking? I wouldn’t mind so much if it was just the two of us, but you know we’re going out with the guys for dinner tonight!”

“Ah, Sho-Kun you worry too much! You’re worse than my Okaa right now.”

Sho simply glared at the man, because at that moment Anna reappeared, she cautiously made her way to the car and opened the door.  Sitting down she sighed

“Really guys, I don’t know if this is such a good idea.  What if people see us?  I don’t want to bring trouble…”

“Iie! Don’t worry about it Anna-Chan.” Aiba consoled happily

As Sho started off he continually glanced at Aiba, raising his eyebrows as if to ask well, say something! Aiba sighed and cleared his throat, turning around to look at the girl sitting behind him he asked cheerfully

“So have you talked to any of the guys yet?”

Anna jumped from staring out the window, “Huh? Oh, no I haven’t.  I mean I saw Ninomiya-Kun when he came to the studio, and I sent a text to Ohno-San when I read somewhere that he was sick.  Turns out he just had a small cold.”

Aiba nodded “Well that’s a pity.”

“Huh?”

“You might not have much to talk about when we all go to dinner tonight.”

“Oh that’s no big- CHOTTE?! You mean you’re all going to dinner tonight?!”

“I told you this wasn’t a good idea Aiba!”

“But Sho! It’ll be fine; Anna-Chan is so much fun how can anyone not get along with her?”

“Have you ever thought about Jun?  He’s still moody after breaking up with that girl.  You know how long it takes him to get over these kinds of things.”

“Exactly why I invited Anna-Chan along, Jun needs some variation from us, we’ve become to somber and quiet.  I can’t always cheer the rest of you by myself!”

Anna’s focus went from one man to the other as they bantered on and on

“Uh? HELLO!? Has anyone even thought about how I feel in the matter?”

“Exactly!” Sho cried out “You can’t just force a person to come and play nursemaid without telling her what’s going on. Really Aiba, I wonder about you sometimes.”

Aiba simply smiled at Sho, turning to face Anna he sighed “Anna-Chan, Gomen ne? But I really do need your help, Jun’s bad attitude has kind of been rubbing off on all of us and I couldn’t think of anyone else”

“Oh, so I am just some back-up plan?”

“IIE! You didn’t let me finish.  I couldn’t think of anyone else who had met everyone that most of us seemed comfortable with.”

“But, the one time I did meet all of you, MatsuJun-San got angry with me and left! How will that help?”

“Because now you have a chance to redeem yourself, and show him your true self; besides, he had been irritable because of the issue with his girlfriend, but now that she’s out of the way there is nothing you have to worry about.” Aiba concluded with a smile

Anna sighed in defeat, “Well what choice do I have?”

“Don’t worry Anna-San.  It happens to all of us.” Sho consoled

Once they reached the restaurant, Aiba took Anna by the hand and led her into the private room the men had reserved.  To say the others were surprised would be an understatement, but they quickly got over their shock and greeted Anna pleasantly

“Anna-Chan, it’s so good to see you again!  How’s the job?” Nino asked as he gave her a hug. 

Anna smiled brightly and returned the gesture “It’s good to see you as well Kazunari-San, and my job is doing well thank you for asking.” 

The pair began talking and almost completely forgot about the others in the room, Ohno very gently tugged on Anna’s elbow before blushing “Gomen, Anna-Chan I just wanted to say hello.” 

“Oh, Ohno-San, Hontoni Gomenosai!” She stammered out before quickly bowing to the older man before taking a seat next to Nino.

It was at that moment that Jun stepped up to Anna and with a bow apologized for his previous attitude towards her

“I hope you’ll forgive me, I’ve felt bad for that ever since I had a chance to clear my head.  It wasn’t you I was angry with; I hope you can forgive me. “

Anna gasped; now that she had a chance to look at the man she noticed his appearance

“MastuJun-San, your hair- it’s brown!”

Jun smiled as he ran his hands through his newly dyed and cut hair “Hai, I thought it was time for a change.”

“Well I think it looks great.” Anna smiled

“Thank you. I do hope we can be friends though Anna-Chan.  I hear the guys talk about you and you seem like a great person.  I am really sorry for my behavior before and I hope we can start anew.”

 Jun stuck his hand out “Friends?”

Anna grasped his hand in a firm handshake “Friends.”

So yay, they're all friends now :)

Now if only I could figure out what to do?

Also don't freak out, this won't become a Nino/Anna otp, just Nino and Anna are gonna be besties and Aiba and Anna will have a special bond as well.
