Chapter One – High School

Harumi and Yuri's children grew up to be wonderful children to other people. Even though Harumi and Yuri were no longer in the world, their children became the spitting images of the two.

The boy, Yuuto, was adopted into a wealthy family and became the best soccer tactician that he became Raimon High School's coach's apprentice at an early age.

As for Haruna, she was adopted into a different family but they were really happy to have her. She was also part of the school's newspaper committee. Her friendly personality and perky attitude helped her in getting good stories from other people.

In almost a week was the school prom. The school's prom committee was doing their job with preparing. The theme was "fairy tales". The gymnasium was decorated to look like the interior of a palace, complete with a chandelier and fairies on the wall.

Part of the prom committee was Raimon Natsumi, the student body president and resident bitch in the entire school. She instructed her minions where to put the props and the decorations; she went to the catering company for what to prepare for their dinner, the table cloths and setting, and the placements of the tables and vendors; and she is also in charge of the DJ and the prom's playlist.

"Megane-kun, can you be in charge of the video presentation?" she asked one of the school's biggest nerds, Megane Kakeru. The only person that was as much of a nerd as he was happened to be his twin brother, Kazuto.

"Sure thing, Natsumi-san." He replied with a smile.

Everything seemed to be in place.

Yuuto helped his soccer team with good table manners and courteousness toward their prom dates. It was actually a cute sight to Haruna, who giggled behind her older brother.

"Okay boys, what is the round-headed spoon used for?" Yuuto asked the Raimon Eleven who were standing in a straight line.

One boy raised his hand. "Is it used for soup?"

Yuuto nodded. "You are correct, Endou. This spoon is a soup spoon." He lifted up a spoon and showed it to the boys. "Now, what is this spoon used for?"

The line of boys groaned in frustration. "Seriously?"

Haruna couldn't help but giggle at the boys. "What's wrong with the desert spoon?"

"On second thought," Yuuto said quickly. "Let us practice courteousness with young women. Find a partner, any partner, and everyone will demonstrate how to be a proper date."

The boys lit up and smiled. They all ran to Haruna with smiles on their faces.

"Please, do not use my sister." Yuuto added. "Pick someone who you want as your prom date. Just because my sister is the prettiest thing on this earth, it doesn't mean that any of you have the right to go out with her."

Haruna stopped giggling and looked at her brother. He seemed pretty serious about these guys not going out with her. "You guys can look for a partner." Haruna told the boys. "I'm sure a lot of girls would love to have you guys ask them to prom."

And with that, the group of boys dispersed and one of them was left.

"Gouenji-kun?" Haruna said as she saw the boy standing right in front of her. "Did they leave you?"

He shook his head. "I just don't feel like searching for a girl right now." He told her as he folded his arms and sighed.

"You don't want to get dibs on Natsumi-san?"

"Nah, there's no need."

Why would Gouenji-kun not want to grab a partner and practice courteousness? She thought to herself. Is he not interested in dating unlike the rest of the team?

At that moment, she had a brilliant—beyond brilliant—idea.

"Why don't I be your partner?" she asked joyfully.

He looked at her as if she was a crazy person. "What the fuck do you mean by that?"

"I think you understand perfectly clear 'what the eff I mean'. You know exactly what I'm saying. Let me be your partner and you'll be as courteous as a British man to an American lady."

Gouenji gave her a confused look. "Huh? What does that mean?"

"That actually means 'very rude' since the Brits don't seem to like Americans so much."

He thought about it for a little bit. Now that I think about it, Edgar and Mark don't talk at all. He looked at her and sighed. "I don't really need to do this and I have a feeling I'll get killed by Kidou if I really do this but okay. I'll let you be my partner."

She smiled a big smile that could be seen from the moon and shone as bright as Las Vegas from outer space. She was really happy that she could enter heaven right there and then. "Thank you so much! I cannot thank you enough."

This was going to be Haruna's first ever prom and she was going with one of the most popular guys in the entire school. She was more excited than when she was reunited with her brother for the first time.

Gouenji, on the other hand, was even more excited than Haruna was. The truth was he liked her. He liked her a lot. He knew Kidou would kill him if he found out about his crush towards Kidou's sister. He just kept it a secret from the rest of the world and remained his expressionless-ish self.


The two met up after school at the school gate. Gouenji knew that this would be the start of his story with Haruna.

"So, gentleman, where do we go?" she asked him as they walked away from the school.

He put a hand on his chin and thought to himself. After a few seconds he put his hand down and walked in front of her, facing her. "Where do you want to go?"

She smiled. "That's easy!"
