Chapter 1
Mizuki peered at the newspaper that came out of the air. She wondered when they would actually come, or if this was just some practical joke.
"Surprise!" yelled voices behind her.
Mizuki saw Nakatsu, Nanba, Doctor Umeda, and the rest of the students from Osaka High. But the biggest surprise was the black haired boy slouching behind them, hands in his pockets, looking out of place.
"Sano?" asked Mizuki, shocked.
"They made me come," he muttered.
"Ha! As if. The guy was practically begging to come with us!" laughed Nakatsu as Sano glared at him.
"I wanted to see America," mumbled Sano.
Nakatsu snorted.
Mizuki beamed. "It's so nice to see you all!"
Hibari stepped forward. "I know, huh?"
Suddenly, Julia ran out. "Who are these people?" she asked. Then her face lit up. "Oh! You guys go to the same school as Mizuki, right?" She grinned at Nakatsu, who stared at her with a bored expression. He turned to Mizuki. "So, what do we do first?"
"You guys should settle in." Mizuki pointed at her huge house. "There's plenty of rooms for everyone. You just need to pair up with someone." The Osaka High students each paired up with someone from Saint Blossoms immediately. Only Sano and Nakatsu were left.
"So, Mizuki, which one of us should room with you?"
"What?" squeaked Mizuki. "How do I know?"
Sano shrugged and went to stand next to her. Mizuki stared at him. He had the same gracefulness as before and she was sure he could do the high jump perfectly now. How she wanted to see him jump again!
Nakatsu looked at them, looking like the perfect little couple and looked down.
"I'll room with Nakatsu," volunteered Julia, who was staying with Mizuki for a month until her parents returned.
Nakatsu and Mizuki gaped at her. Nakatsu sighed and walked after her as she continued back to the house.
"Shall we go?" asked Sano in a low voice. Mizuki jumped, still shocked from what had happened. Everyone else was gone. Sano grabbed Mizuki's hand and she felt small shivers from his warm touch. Inside, everyone was looking and ogling the rich tapestries and paintings inside.
Julia seemed to be holding back laughter at everyone's shock at such rich things.
After eating hamburgers and soda, everyone went out into the garden. Nakatsu stared jealously as Sano looked around before giving Mizuki a secret kiss on the cheek. "I missed you," he whispered. Mizuki's face turned red.
