After I finished this story, I put all the short chapters together into normal sized chapters, made extra spelling corrections, and made the writing a little better. So don't be surprised if the story information said it's supposed to have 17 chapters.
Authors note: This story takes place a day after the anime ended.
Hikari's eyes widened in surprise. "There's going to be a new member?"
Ryu nodded. "He is coming here tomorrow afternoon. He is a transfer student, but his grades are amazing."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Hikari asked curiously.
I hope it's a girl. Hikari thought.
"Do you know anything about them yet? Like if they're a boy or a girl?" Hikari asked and stretched her arms.
"Its a boy 2nd year," Ryu replied."That's all I know."
Hikari felt a little disappointed, but she shrugged it off.
"Speaking of which, where are the others? We are the only ones here." Hikari asked herself and looked at her silver watch.
"8:00 am." Hikari read to herself.
Since Takishima is late today, I can use this chance to study ahead of him! Hikari thought and clenched her fist in motivation.
Hikari lied out her textbooks on the coffee table and started to study.
Only 2 minutes have passed when Hikari's studying is interrupted by the sound of a door being opened.
Jun and Megumi came in through the door and were followed by Tadashi and Akira, who were holding hands.
"Hey guys! Is Takishima with you?" Hikari called.
Jun opened his mouth to reply when a princely voice interrupted him.
"You miss me?" Kei said, who came in after Akira and Tadashi.
He went over to where Hikari was sitting and flashed her a charming smile.
Hikari immediately felt her cheeks get hot. "Uh umm I was just wondering!" She responded quickly.
Eager to change the subject, Hikari grabbed her Physics textbook. "Anyways, I have to study for the upcoming exams!"
Tadashi sighed and sat down in the chair next to Akira. "I'm bored Akira! How about we kiss? Tadashi suggested in a stoic tone. The whole room was consumed in silence.
Akira glared at Tadashi. "NO!"
"Common. We are dating, remember?"
Akira stopped yelling at him and her cheeks became tinted with pink.
Tadashi grinned, and playfully said, "Common, just one?"
Akira's blush became deeper.
Megumi scribbled something on her board, then flipped it around so Akira could see. "Do it do it!" Her board read.
"GRRR! FINE!" Akira snapped, trying to get her embarrassment to go away with anger.
Tadashi leaned in for Akira and put his mouth on hers.
Hikari looked away, feeling a bit uncomfortable watching her best friend kiss.
Kei noticed her reaction about the kiss and grinned deviously when he thought of what her reaction might be after he says this."Hikari,we could kiss too."
Hikari blushed a deep scarlet. "No way perv!"
Kei got closer to her and took a small strand of her raven black hair and put it to his lips. "Your blushing, that means you must like me." He said and dug his golden eyes into hers.
Hikari pushed him away and avoided his question and did her best to change the subject."Whatever. I have to get back to studying."

/THE NEXT DAY/
Hikari arrived early at class today.
She causally walked into the greenhouse and headed over to the coffee table and seated herself on the cushy beige seat.
Nobody else was here, and the only sound that could be heard was the chirping of birds outside.
Hikari secretly couldn't wait to meet the new S.A member, and she had trouble confining her excitement.
Hikari sat in silence for a while longer.
Finally, her solitude was disrupted when the green house doors opened, and closed.
Maybe that's the new S.A member! Hikari thought excitedly, a smile forming on her face.
The figure by the doors came closer, then Hikari could now see him clearly.
He was strikingly handsome, with dirty blond hair that was in the same style as Kei's. He had emerald eyes, broad shoulders, and a thin jawbone.
Hikari gasped at how good looking he was. "Are you the new S.A member?"
He smiled at her, revealing perfect straight and white teeth. "Yep. I'm Tamaki Takahashi. Nice to meet you."
He held out his hand to her and she shook it.
"I'm Hikari Hanazono." Hikari said and gave him a bright smile.
"Oh and I forgot to ask. Whats your class ranking?" Hikari abruptly asked.
"8th. What about you?"
"2nd."
They stood there in awkward silence, and Hikari couldn't help but blush a bit. She felt really weird about being with such a handsome guy.
Seconds later, the green house door swung open. It was Kei.
When he saw how Hikari was blushing towards the new S.A member, his expression darkened.
He went over and joined them.
"So this is the new S.A member I'm guessing?" Kei asked coldly.
"Uh yea." Hikari said, surprised by Kei's hostility.
Tamaki grinned at Kei. "Nice to meet you. I'm Tamaki Takahashi." He said and extended it towards Kei.
Kei shook his hand, but clenched it tightly.
"Kei Takishima." He said through clenched teeth.
Tamaki looked Hikari's way.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked.
Hikari blushed. "No... Why...?
Kei's rage went to a horrible level, and Tamaki stepped away from Kei.
Unable to confine his anger any longer, Kei stormed out of the green house, leaving Tamaki and Hikari.
"Whoa whats his problem?" Tamaki stated, confused."Well whatever."
"I'll go after him." Hikari said and rushed after Kei.

Hikari sprinted after Kei, hoping to catch up to him.
She started panting, but she pushed herself beyond her limits.
Finally, she found Takishima. He was sitting on a park bench with his face buried in his hands.
She approached him. "Uh.. Takishima?"
He didn't reply.
"Takishima?"
He looked up at her and she was startled from his facial expression.
He looked...
He looks depressed... Hikari thought. But why would he be depressed?
"Whats wrong?" She asked, concern clearly written all over her face. She sat next to him on the bench.
"Take a walk with me in the forest and I'll tell you why.." He responded quietly.
She nodded, kind of confused, and followed him.
He led her to a small forest next to the school.
Trees blocked out most of the sunlight and it seemed dark although it was still broad daylight.
Slowly, Kei pushed her towards a tall tree and put his arms on either side to keep her from escaping.
"Uh... what are you doing?" Hikari asked oddly, her eyes shining with total innocence.
Instead of replying, Kei stared right into Hikari's eyes and held her gaze with his.
She blushed.
Hikari quickly changed the topic. "So... What was wrong earlier?"
"I guess it was because I was jealous..." Kei stated in a hushed voice.
"Jealous? Why?'
Kei sighed quietly. Just how thick headed is she? I guess I'll have to spell it out to her directly. Kei thought.
Kei took a deep breath. "It because I l-" Kei stopped talking when he heard rustling in the bushes.
"Who's there?" Kei called.
2 figures appeared from the bushed. Tamaki and Akira.
"Why are you guys here?" Hikari demanded.
Tamaki scratched his head,embarrassed. "I thought you were taking to long to get Kei, so I came looking with Akira. I saw you and Kei go into the woods and we followed, but then it looked like something private was going on between you two..."
"KEI YOU BETTER NOT HAVE HURT MY HIKARI!" Akira screamed and tried to punch Kei.
Kei easily dodged Akira's futile punches."Relax. I didn't. In fact, I think she was enjoying it." Kei teased and cast a glance at Hikari, who avoided his gaze and blushed.
"Well we should head back now. I'm sure the others are waiting." Tamaki suggested.
"Oh you already met them?" Hikari asked.
"Yea."
Whenever Tamaki's around, Hikari ignores me! Kei thought. Wait... Don't tell me... She likes him already!
Well that's it for this chapter. Please review!
