Reader's POV:

The sound of Shiemi's footsteps were bouncing off of the walls, her sandals slapping on the tile floor of the cram school. It was her day off but everyone had decided that they would meet up at their classroom to hang out.

'A Kimono was definitely not the right choice of clothing today...' Shiemi thought as she ran as fast as she could.

Her motivation to get there on time almost dissipated when she heard voices coming from her classroom up ahead.

'Crap! I'm late!' She thought but then suddenly regretted it. She had never been so frustrated to curse before so it was a new experience. She didn't like it.

"Woah watch out!" a familiar voice cried but before she could register who it was, she slammed right into the person's chest, landing on top of whoever it was on the cold, hard floor.

"Ouch..." Shiemi groaned and rubbed her head. The world spun and all she could see was two big round circles.

"Are you okay Shiemi?" the voice asked again.

The big round blue circles blinked and Shiemi jumped back in surprise yelling as she did so. The sudden movement made whoever was underneath her jump upwards as well, the person's head smacking into her chin as he sat upwards.

"Why the chin!" Shiemi cried as she rubbed her sore chin.

"Heh, sorry"

She blinked and looked to see the person was none other than Rin Okumura. The two blue circles must've been his eyes.

"AHHH! R-RIN IT WAS YOU?!" She broke into a meltdown of embarrassment and apologies.

"Well who the hell else was it?" He said sarcastically.

Rin sat up suddenly stopped and looked up at Shiemi. She blushed as she felt Rin's eyes looking at her. He made no move to get up.

It took a few moments of awkward silence for Shiemi to realize that the only reason Rin wasn't getting up was because she was sat on his waist and down to his thighs.

"Oh sorry" She said, quickly climbing to her feet and Rin followed.

He flashed her that grin of his that always made her heart flutter. "It's cool!"

She took a slightly closer look at Rin's teeth when she thought he wasn't looking. It used to always confuse her that Rin had canine teeth and slightly pointed ears. She thought it was just a cute feature but she soon found out Rin's secret. He is the son of Satan. Every time Shiemi heard someone say something about Rin being the son of Satan, it made her want to break into violence, defend Rin and finally be useful. No, that just wasn't her.

Rin paused at the door. "You coming?" He asks.

"Oh yeah, coming" Shiemi snapped out of her thoughts and brushed them aside, following Rin into the classroom.

All that mattered was today. Today was the day Shiemi was going to become official friends with her classmates.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Bon's voice greeted them as they came inside.

"Hey guys!" The rest of the gang greeted them nicely.

"Sorry not sorry!" Rin grinned and slouched on one of the desks.

"Do not piss me off Okumura..." Bon muttered and turned away.

'Okay, here's your chance Shiemi! Go, GO!' Her inner voice motivated her to confront Bon.

"Um excuse me Bon..." Her voice was barely audible because of the noise from behind her but Bon somehow managed to hear her.

"Yeah what?" Bon turned to face her and her legs started trembling. She hadn't noticed how much taller Bon was than her. Now he was towering over her, looking down expectantly.

"I-I was just wondering if... well if you wanna be, you know, friends?" She spoke, suddenly regretting her words and gulping.

Bon didn't shout. He didn't retort. He just broke into a wide grin and laughed.

"Oh Moriyama you crack me up!" He laughed.

"What's so funny?" Asked Shiemi, genuinely confused.

"We're already friends! I already count you as my friend" He smiles.

"Okay then!" Shiemi finally stands up tall and smiles.

Next was Shima. Her friendship with Bon made her confident and motivated her. The casanova was leaning against the wall. He looked gloomy.

"Shima? Are you okay?" she asked, concern in her voice.

"I'm fine..." he grumbles.

"I can tell somethings bothering you" she walked closer "Just tell me."

"Fine then. I think... I think I'm in love with Izumo" he said sadly.

Shiemi rolls her eyes. "You don't mean it."

Something about the way Shima was acting made her want to believe him.

"I'm not lying. But if I ask her she'll turn me down because one she doesn't like me and two maybe she does like me but if I ask she will think I'm joking because of my character."

A pang of pity hit her like a ton of bricks. "Okay I believe you. What can I do to help?"

"Why do you want to?" He asks sadly.

"Because that's what friends do" Shiemi smiled.

"We're friends?" Shima asks, surprised.

That statement dulls Shiemi's confidence slightly but she shrugs it off and continues.

"Of course we are!"

"I always thought you hated me because I always flirt with you" Shima looks at his shoes.

"No! Sometimes I found it funny! We are friends okay?"

Shima suddenly seemed a bit happier. "Yeah sure!"

"Like I had asked before, what can I do to help?"

Shima broke into a sly grin. "Well..."
