Notes: I never went to a Japanese High School so I just used one of the subjects we had in our country. I originally planned to add the narrator, but he was late to arrive in the set so…. maybe next time. The story supposedly takes place a few months after episode 12.

The entire first year students of Aogiri High School went to the beach as part of their NSTP training. After hours of community service, they finally had free time to relax and enjoy the beach.

"It's finally over!" The protagonist of the show, Sonokawa Momokawa said in relief as she approached a vending machine. The weather was especially hot today but everyone is in high spirits. Momoka sighed. After choosing her favorite beverage, she sat at the nearest chair and proceeded to drink the contents. She scanned the area around her and noticed that she was surrounded by her classmates.

She finished the drink and disposed of the bottle in the trash bin beside her. Momoka heard her classmates having a good conversation so she activated her pleasant mode and started walking toward them.

"Momoka-sama! I missed you so much!" A shiver went down Momoka's spine as she readies her fist. Standing her ground she quickly turns around while swinging her arm, which shortly hit the person that was calling her. That person was Kasugano Urara, Momoka's fellow club member in the Survival Game club that has been obsessed with her for some time now.

"What the hell are you doing here!? You're not even in this class!" yelled Momoka. She spent the whole day picking up garbage and listening to boring lectures in a very hot day. Needless to say, she was too tired and cranky to tolerate her stalker.

Quickly standing up, Urara approached Momoka with the intention of embracing her. "Oh Momoka-sama, I've been thinking about you every second of the day!" She started drooling and running toward her beloved. Momoka's reflex gave her another round of beating.

"Can you please stay away from me, Kasugano-san? You're super annoying." Momoka said with disgust. She was at her limit.

Urara's vision darkened and she shook for a couple of seconds. "I understand…. if that is what you want, Momoka-sama." She slowly stood up and turned around.

"Um….Urara?" Momoka tried to reach out to her. She went too far. Sure Urara is a stalker and just plain obnoxious, but she genuinely cared for her. She still remembers how Urara carried and protected her when she was infected with the unknown virus. Momoka blushed when she remembered the confession from the same incident.

Momoka came back to reality when someone called her name. The first thing that she noticed was that Urara was replaced with Goutokuji Kayo, her classmate and another fellow club member.

"What are you doing day dreaming while blushing in public?" Questioned Kayo as she snaps a picture with her smart phone. "Don't tell me, you're thinking of something perverted? It looks like Urara has infected you. I need to be careful from now on." She took a step back.

Momoka shook her head violently. "There's no way that's true! I'm just tired, aren't you too, Goutokuji-san?" She crossed her arms. She's on a beach for god's sake, why is she not relaxing yet?

"I am. That's why I'm heading at that shack to relax." Kayo opens her bag excitedly. "I brought a DVD of my favorite anime DoT, would you like to-"

Momoka cut her off "I'll pass. I'd rather go to the shore and look at the sea." She stops to glare at her surroundings. "We're at the beach you know. You should-"

Kayo cut her off back "I'll pass. I have a delicate skin and I don't want to waste time just day dreaming and looking at waves. There are more-"

Sonokawa walked away. She only has enough energy left to admire her surroundings; to stay and listen to another lecture would surely drain that. "This place is really beautiful, but there are way too many people. Maybe next time I can ask the president to schedule a trip just for us in the club-"

The thought of the club reminded her of the encounter she had with Urara earlier. "Why would I bother?" Momoka felt a little guilty. Despite how she openly shows her selfishness and disregard in other's feelings in front of her friends, Sonokawa Momoka does have a conscience.

"Someone get a teacher!" "Help!" "Is there a life guard here?!" Panicked cries filled the entire beach. Momoka went to where the commotion was and what she saw horrified her; Urara was far away into the ocean drowning.

The normal response of Sonokawa Momoka would be to laugh her ass off while snapping a bunch of picture. She would also come up with lame nicknames to increase the embarrassment of the person being teased. That's the type of person Sonokawa is, but for some reason she's doing the complete opposite.

She even surprised herself when her body started running toward the sea. She wasn't thinking properly. A bunch of protest was directed at her to stop but she couldn't hear them. Momoka's thoughts were filled with Urara; how she carried her and supported her when she was at her weakest. Momoka was horrible to her, always using her as a human shield and punching her. Besides her parents, Kasugano Urara is the person that cherished her the most.

Momoka woke up from her thoughts when she felt hot sand on her feet. She didn't know how or even if she was the one that did it, but Urara was successfully rescued from drowning in the sea. She sighed in relief.

"She's not breathing!" Kayo said after checking Urara. "Does anyone-"She did not finished the question because someone already enacted the answer. Kayo who was usually cool and collected was stunned at the scene in front of her: Sonokawa Momoka was giving Kasugano Urara a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; without someone forcing the selfish protagonist.

Coughing up water violently, Urara slowly opened her eyes. Everything was fuzzy and her head was ringing. "W-where am I? What happened?" She looked around her; she had no recollection why she was lying down on the beach with everyone surrounding her. Everyone seemed to be sighing in relief. To her left was Kayo sitting on her knees beside her. "Kayo-san, can you tell me what happened?" She slowly sat up.

As Goutokuji slowly explained what happened to Urara, Momoka finally regained her consciousness. The more she listens to the story, the redder her face becomes. She wanted to beat herself up for the embarrassment she went through. She was about to when a voice called out to her.

"Momoka-sama, you did all that for me?" Sonokawa looked up, she was about to give excuses; like she got heat stroke so she became irrational, or she did it to make her indebted to her for the rest of her life.

But as soon as Sonokawa saw Urara's tear stained face, it reminded her of the time Urara confessed to her. Without thinking, Momoka said: "I love you too, Urara".

Silence filled the air for a couple of seconds. Urara was about to say something but she was taken in by teachers. Everyone was given the order to go back to school earlier than they should have because of the accident. They begrudgingly obeyed.

It didn't take long for everyone to gossip and know what happened. There were already a lot of weird rumors floating around the school about the two of them: Like how they are usually seen going to school and eat lunch together. They were even dubbed the first year S&M couple by some students. Momoka always brushes off those accusations as wrong and coincidental though.

They started asking Sonokawa questions, but she didn't respond. Her thoughts overloaded so she decided to shut everything off. After a few minutes of eagerly waiting for a reply, the girls got none. They then came to the conclusion that the subject of their curiosity was currently unable to satisfy their needs. They unanimously decided to respectfully back off, for now.

Putting her ear buds while sitting in the bus ride back home, she wanted to contemplate what happened but nothing was there to remember. Thinking that she was too tired, she skipped dinner and just showered. Whatever was bothering her can be dealt with tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow. The world Sonokawa Momoka knows would change once more. Was the choices she made today was a mistake? Or is it for the best? Find out in the next chapter.
