“YOU’RE FREAKING JOKING RIGHT????!!!” Kim almost shouted from the top of her voice as soon as she saw the names written in front of her. With widen eyes; she blinked a million times just to make sure that what she was seeing was indeed real. All the people standing around looked at her peculiarly as if gazing a psycho.

It wasn’t long when two of her best friends joined their pale looking friend just standing there, frozen on her place.

“Kim-chan lost to Kei nii-chan again… Mou~” Yuki uttered after looking at their exam scores: Ranked One – Kei Inoo.

“Daijoubu nee-chan! You’ll beat him next time!!” Amu tried her best to be supportive while shaking the older one back into her senses.

I invited Rio-chan and the others too… You’ll be going deshou?”

“This DOG will come too?”Kim pointed at Inoo’s direction.

“Who are you calling DOG? I told you not to call me that!!”

“DOGS can’t tell me what to do!!”

“Well, this ‘DOG’ is going later at the party since I RANKED FIRST ON THE EXAM – UNLIKE ‘SOME’ PEOPLE”
