The fallen autumn leaves crunched as Ayuzawa Misaki's feet take her sprinting to the school gates. "Uagh! I can't believe I slept through my alarm clock! And I have a meeting in 5 minutes!" She mutters to herself. "That's what I get for not sleeping for the past week…" It was true though, because the finals were taken yesterday. And the minute she stepped out of the shower, she collapsed on her bed.

She quickly takes off her shoes and changed into her indoor shoes, used only inside the school. "That's rare for kaichou to be late," said a soft voice from behind.

She quickly spun around, only to see Usui Takumi right behind her wearing a smirk on his face. "B-BAKA USUI! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!"

"Ehhhh…."

"I'm already late for the meeting so stop bothering me!" Misaki said and

sprinted towards the direction of the Student Council room.

"No running~!" Usui shouted out after her.

"I'M NOT RUNNING! I'M SPEED WALKING!" She shouted back.

~TIME SKIP: LUNCH TIME! ~

"Misakiiiii!" Sakura's voice shouts. "Let's go eat lunch!"

Shizuko, walking behind Sakura, said, "Unless you're busy with the student council."

Misaki shook her head, "No, I'm free." She looks outside the windows. "Is it cold outside? If not we could eat outside…"

Shizuko shrugged, "Let's step outside and see."

When they stepped out the door, a chilly wind blows against their faces. "I-I d-don't think it's a g-good idea t-to eat o-outside today…" Sakura said, chattering. "Misakiiii, can we eat in your class today?"

Misaki nodded, "Sure. I don't mind."

As they were walking up the stairs Misaki heard a familiar voice saying, "Hey you guys! Did you see Misaki-chan anywhere?"

"You mean Kaichou?!" came another voice. "Are you stupid?! Why are you looking for her? She might kill you!"

"But I didn't do anything bad though~"

Turning the corner, Misaki could see a chocolate haired boy chewing on bread crust while many boys swarmed around him. A boy leaned closer to him, "I know the Prez changed a lot since when she first became president but she's still going to kill you! Don't you remember what she did to you on the first day of school?"

The chocolate haired boy tilts his head, trying to recall the event. "You mean when she took away my bread crust?"

"And when-"

"AHH! KAICHOU!"

Misaki walked closer to the group surrounded by a dark aura. "Why don't you continue?" She growled, "I would love to hear more about myself from you guys."

The group of boys quickly retreated back into their classroom, leaving a boy, still chewing on his bread crust, standing in front of Misaki and her friends. "Oi! Hinata! Quick! Retreat!" They urged.

Ignoring them, Hinata smiled brightly and threw his arms over Misaki. "Misaki-Chan!"

Blush crept onto her face. "Y- You-Kun!"

"Misaki-Chan, my grandpa just sent me tons and tons of veggies!" His eyes sparkled as he was speaking. "Can I come over to your house tonight? I'll bring a lot of veggies with me!"

"Uh… Yeah." Misaki said. "You can come over around 7… We can have dinner at my house."

Hinata's eyes sparkled. "Yay!" He ran down the hall towards his friends. "Then see you tonight!" He called over his shoulder.

"Hey! No running!"

~Time Skip: Maid Latte~

"One order of Moe Moe Omurice!" Misaki placed an order in the kitchen. "Eh?! Usui?! Why are you here?"

A pair of emerald green eyes stared back at her. "The kitchen crew is on break today." He said, smiling. "I get to spend time with the cute Misa-Chan."

"Oh shut up!" Misaki said, blushing. "Just hurry up on the order."

"Hai, Hai." Usui turned back to the stove. "Is there anything else?"

"Eh?"

"If you're just going to stand there, I'll just assume you want to place an order or you want me." He said, turning his face towards her, smirking.

Misaki felt her face grow hot. "W-what are you talking about you perverted alien! Go to hell!" She said, stomping back to the front.

~At the Ayuzawa Residence~

"Hinata." Misaki said, opening the door. "You're here!"

"Hai!" Hinata placed an arm full of vegetables onto the floor. "Here's all the veggies my grandpa sent me! Boy there was a huge mess just down the street! The pumpkins fell out of their box and-"

"Hai hai. It was rolling everywhere and caused a biiiiiggg mess." Came a smooth yet familiar voice.

"Usui?!" Misaki exclaimed. "W-why are you here?!"

"Ah! Usui-Kun helped me with the pumpkins-"

"He wasn't able to carry them all by himself because he wasn't strong enough." Usui cut in. "So since I was there, I helped him."

"Eh Usui-Kun!" Hinata whined. "Stop cutting me off in the middle of my sentence!"

"Ah. It's You-Kun and the future brother-in-law." Said a monotone voice. "We're just making dinner. You should join us."

"Suzuna!" Misaki yelled, blushing. "What did you mean by brother-in-law?!"

Suzuna picked some cabbages and cucumbers off the wooden floor. "But Onee-San, don't you plan to marry Usui-Kun?"

"Ehh… I want to know too, Misa-Chan~!" Usui took off his shoes and stepped onto the wooden floor. "Won't you be marrying me?"

Misaki blushed even more. "E-Eh?!" She turned to Suzuna, "Suzuna! Did this perverted alien infect you with his pervertedness?!" she pointed her finger a Usui's face. "He must have! My sweet sister would never say that!"

Usui looked at Suzuna, and Suzuna looked at Usui. "Did i?" Usui asked, lifting up an eyebrow.

Suzuna shook her head. "Not that I know of."

Misaki was speechless. To think that her sister had teamed up with the perverted alien was just wrong! She turned to Hinata and pulled him inside. "Let's go Hinata!"

"E-Eh! Misaki-Chan!" He stumbled after her.

"Thanks for the meal!" Hinata said happily, setting his chopsticks down. "It was delicious, Oba-san!"

"I'm glad you liked it." Minako smiled. "It's very nice to have 2 boys around the house."

"Don't worry, Okaa-San." Suzuna said with her monotone voice. "You'll have a son-in-law in a few more years. Onee-San's working on getting you one already."

"Oh is that so!" Minako placed her hand on her cheek and looked at Misaki. "Misaki, are you really?"

"Suzuna! Cut that out!" She shouted, blushing. Again. "No mom! I'm not working on anything related to romance!"

"Eh… You're not?" Usui looked at Misaki with his puppy dog eyes. "But Misaki-Chan, you said you lov-"

"Hinata! Help me prepare tea!" She quickly got out of her chair and dragged Hinata with her to get the tea.

"Ah- Misaki-Chan…"

As Usui, Suzuna, and Minako were fussing over the "future brother/son-in-law" topic, and Misaki constantly shouting at them, Hinata felt out of place. It was as if he wasn't there. He stood there silently and listened to the conversation. 'But I love Misaki-Chan too.' He thought. 'And I've known her for a long time, longer than Usui-Kun.' Hinata stared into his cup of tea. 'I came and searched for her. But all Usui did was attend to this school like all other guys and just… stole her away from me.' He looked up at Misaki, who was waving her hand at Usui and Suzuna, blushing and panicking. 'Why Misaki-Chan? Why am I no good? Is Usui really better than me? What's so good about him anyways?' His heart ached and on the verge to tears.

"Hinata?" Misaki gently shook his shoulders. "Are you alright?" she looked at him with worried eyes. "Are you not feeling well? Are you sick?"

"N-no." Hinata stammered. "I'm fine."

"That's great. If you feel sick tell me, 'kay?" She smiled.

Hinata clenched his fist over his chest, grabbing a handful of cloth. 'Why Misaki? I know you love Usui-Kun. And I try to shut my feelings away for you.' He stared down to his feet. 'Why do you always melt my heart with you smile?'
