“I saw him…before we left a while ago…I saw Keito-kun looking at us…did he saw Nino-kun…?did he heard all the teasing that my friends said…?man…!why is it that I can’t help thinking about that guy…?!!!” thought Yuki then slumped her head on the book in front of her

“ne Yuki-chan, daijoubu…?” asked Nino then he checks on Yuki

“hai~ I’m ok Nino-kun…” said Yuki

“eh…?but you looked like you’re not ok…ne, tell me…is there something bothering you…?” asked Nino

“betsuni…” said Yuki while looking at the window

“we maybe away from each other for a long time, but I can clearly read you like a book Yuki-chan…I knew you had a problem…you can tell it to me…maybe I could help you…” said Nino

“well, erm…it’s just that I don’t know my real stand on this guy’s heart…I don’t know what he thinks of me…we became close but there is an incident that made me avoid him…but…” Yuki said

“but you missed being with him right…?” continued Ninomiya which made Yuki face him

“hai…” uttered Yuki as tears form on her eyes

“have you tried talking to him…?” asked Nino

“nope…I was badly hurt Nino-kun…!” said Yuki

“I know that you’ve got hurt, but the only thing that can fix your misunderstanding is by talking with each other, hearing each other out…” smiled Nino as he pats Yuki’s head

The next day…

“Yuki-chan…” said Keito as he grabbed Yuki’s hand

“you…” said Yuki

“can we talk…?” asked Keito

“gomen I have something to do…” said Yuki and was about to leave

“aieru Yuki-chan…” said Keito which made Yuki froze

“stop blabbering—“

“it’s true…I love you Yuki-chan…! why won’t you believe me…?” asked Keito as his grip on Yuki’s hand tighten

“is it true…?is it true that you love me…?my heart says believe you, but my mind tells me not…I don’t know…!” thought Yuki while looking at Keito

“I want to talk to you and clear things out…” said Keito

“can we do that some other time…I have my tutorials and my tutor was there so I have to go…” said Yuki as she saw Ninomiya standing in front of their gate

“do you love him…?is he the reason why you can’t talk to me…?” asked Keito while tears started to form from his eyes

“stop telling non-sense…” sneered Yuki

“I don’t care if he is your first love, as long as I love you, I’ll fight for it…” said Keito

“whatever…” said Yuki then went towards Ninomiya

“who’s that…?one of your friends…?” asked Ninomiya while pointing at Keito

“oh he…?erm…no…he’s not one of my friends…” denied Yuki

“eh…?i thought he is close to you…” said Ninomiya while scratching the back of his head

“no he’s not…” said Yuki while looking at Keito

“she denied me…” thought Keito upon hearing the conversation of Yuki and Nino

The next day, as Yuki was walking at the hallway…

“ohayo Yuki-chan…! let me carry your things for you…” said Keito as he gets Yuki’s bag and notebooks from her

“eh…?are you sure you’ll carry my things for me…?” asked Yuki while raising an eyebrow

“of course…I’m the guy so I’m the one who supposed to carry your stuffs

“is that so…?well, Rein-chan, Kei-kun, you can give the notebooks that our sensei asked me to carry at this guy…he wants to be a good Samaritan…” said Yuki then Rein and Kei gave Keito the notebooks they were holding

“you also carry these…?” asked Keito as he carries the notebooks that almost cover his face

“hai…and since you said that you’ll gonna carry my things for me, then would you please carry that at our classroom…?” said Yuki then she walked away

“ganbatte Keito-kun…!” said Kei

“this is just a challenge that you must overcome…we’re here to support you…!” said Rein as she tapped Keito’s shoulder

“woah…don’t tap me or I might lose my grip on these notebooks…said Keito as he wobbles

“Keito was really trying his best just to get Yuki-chan back…” said Haruka as they saw Keito carrying the notebooks

“he really do love Yuki-chan…” agreed Ryosuke

At their lunchtime…

“ne Yuki-chan…why haven’t you eaten your lunch yet…?you looked busy…maybe I can help you with that…” said Keito as he sits beside Yuki

“you see, I was doing my Trigonometry homework here…oh, and you said you’ll help me…?then do this for me…just make sure that you can finish that before the lunchtime ended ok…?” said Yuki then she gave the notebook at Keito and leave him carrying her obento

“now she wants me to answer this…?i haven’t even done answering my own homework…!and I haven't eaten my lunch yet” said Keito while looking at Yuki’s notes

“ne Yuki-chan, I think you’re being harsh at Keito…you’re making him your slave…” noticed Satomi

“no I’m not…he’s the one offering me a helping hand so I’m just grabbing the opportunity…” said Yuki while eating her obento

“are you taking a revenge on him…?” asked Mikan

“eh…?revenge…?” asked Yuki

“yeah…because you’re making him do those things…” said Haruka

“well, if you call that revenge, maybe I was really doing revenge on him…” said Yuki while smiling evilly

“man…this girl here can be evil at times…” said Haruka, Mikan and Satomi in chorus

It was festival at their place so they planned on going at the town to visit the stalls and watch the fireworks…

“I looooooooooooooooooove festivals…!” exclaimed Rein

“you love everything not related on school works…” laughed Kei

“are you saying something Kei Inoo…?” glared Rein

“woah…why are you so hot-headed…?i’m just telling the truth…” laughed Kei

“why you…!at  least I’m not engaging myself with so much studies…! I can have fun and I’m not talking with thick books unlike you…!” exclaimed Rein

“hey…! Reading books is good…!” pouted Kei

“but reading mangas are more fun…!” exclaimed Rein

“these two started their fights again…” sighed Kota

“these two always fight since they were little…I knew that behind those fights, they really do like each other…” smiled Nino

“yeah…they were always fighting with each other…! We thought that they would not tell each other what they feel but in the end, they became a couple…” said Ryosuke

“time flies so fast, these kids were really grown up now…” smiled Nino

“now why do you sound like an old guy reminiscing his past…?” laughed Haruka

“oh…yeah…”laughed Ninomiya in embarrassment

“what is the name of that guy…?” asked Nino while pointing at Keito

“oh…he is Keito…one of our friend…” said Kota

“I knew something was going on between them…may I know…?” asked Ninomiya

“well, I know it sounds that we were talking behind their back but since you’re Yuki-chan’s childhood friend, I guess there’s nothing wrong in telling you…” said Yuto then they started telling Ninomiya the whole story

“oh…sou…so that’s what happened…but as what I can see, he was trying his best to have Yuki-chan back…” said Ninomiya

“ne, what are you talking about…?” asked Yuki as she went near them

“nothing much…” said Yuto

“let’s stroll around now…!” said Mikan

“me and Koppi would go buy some foods…” said Satomi

“me and Mikan would play at the target-shooting…” said Yuto

“ we would have some goldfish scooping…” said Ryosuke and Haruka

“ok…I guess we would get separated since we were about to buy candied apples…” said Kei

“let’s go Nino-kun, we usually go at different stalls when we were young right…? I missed that…” said Yuki

“gomen Yuki-chan, I remembered I have to go do something…I think you should go with Keito-kun…” said Ninomiya

“eh…?!!! With this guy…?!” exclaimed Yuki

“hai…so jyaa…!” winked Ninomiya then he left them

“so let’s go to where we supposed to go…” said Kota then all of them left Keito and Yuki

“I can stroll around by myself…” said Yuki

“no you’re not…you’re going with me…” said Keito then he dragged Yuki at different stalls

Yuki can’t do anything but to go with Keito…they went on different stalls and buy different foods…Yuki, was unnoticingly enjoying Keito’s company and she started to laugh with him…now it was time for fireworks display…

“sugoi ne…!” exclaimed Yuki while amusingly looking at the fireworks

“I’m happy to see you laughing and smiling Yuki-chan…I missed that…” said Keito

“nani…?ha…!if you think that I already forgive you, then you are wrong…” sneered Yuki in crossed arms

“whatever you say Yuki-chan…though you sneered at me many times, I’m still willing to spend my time with you…like tonight…I enjoyed the festival because I’m with you…” smiled Keito as he leave a peck on Yuki’s cheeks making Yuki blush

“YOUUUUUUUUUU…!!!!” exclaimed Yuki as Keito run for his life
