12 hours have passed since Shining Saotome decided to allow love in his academy. No one has made a move on the beloved Haruka, yet. Is it that they are too cowardly to confess love? Or perhaps this act calls for more preparation. Nevertheless, this is still a competition amongst the boys.

The sun has just risen and is as beautiful as ever. The fresh scent of a cherry blossom sets the perfect mood for what's going to happen today. Sakura petals fall short of Haruka's graceful stride when she steps foot into Saotome Academy. She sighs in relief to be away from Tomo-chan. She practically begged her to reveal her crushes name. However, that relief wasn't meant to stay.

"Greetings Nanami!" A cheerful voice is heard from the trees. A slender figure jumps down to greet a frightened Haruka.

"Oh, it's just you Cecil!" Haruka smiles and returns his friendly greeting.

Cecil takes Haruka's hand and kneels before her, gently placing a feather-like kiss. This leaves Haruka surprised and staring into the princes emerald eyes. "I've longed for this moment, Lady Haruka."

"Huh?" Haruka still seems shocked from the boy's sudden kiss.

"We are now free to express our feelings. Now-" Cecil is cut off by Ren's raspy voice.

"Don't be so hasty, prince. We still don't know who little lamb like." Ren pulls out a bouquet of flowers and bows before Haruka.

"Jinguji-sama! It's not like that!" Haruka accepts the flowers anyway.

"Lady Nanami freed me from that curse and it is only right for her to become princess of Agnapolis" Cecil frowns at Ren's interference.

"Ano…" Haruka finally decides to escape the awkward situation while the two boy's argue over her.

~~~~~~~A couple moments later~~~~~~~~

Haruka sighs. As much as Ren and Cecil admire her, she doesn't quite feel the same towards them. She starts heading towards the cafeteria until she bumps into a muscular boy.

"Omph" Haruka falls and the flowers from Ren fall at Tokiya's feet. "Gomena! I'm so clumsy!" She apologizes.

"What's this?" Tokiya asks with concern, picking up the bouquet of flowers.

"Oh, they are from Ren…" She scrambles to her feet.

Why didn't I think of giving her flowers, Tokiya asks himself. "Oh…" He hands them back over. "You should really be careful…you might end up bumping into someone other than me."

"Huh?" Haruka didn't quite hear the last part.

"Forget it, you should probably hurry before they run out of your favorite dish" Tokiya fixes his carelessness.

"Hai!" Haruka runs across the hall so she won't be late.

~~~~~~~After seating down~~~~~~~

"Nanami!" Natsuki calls out and sits next to her.

"Natsuki-chan!" Haruka waves hello.

"Haruka, you are always shining bright in my eyes. I've admired you from the start." His eyes lock with hers.

"Shinomiya, you're bothering her!" Syo practically shoves Natsuki away from Haruka.

"Ooh! You're so cute when you're jealous, Syo!" Natsuki hugs the blushing Syo. "Well then, I'll let you have your time with Haruka." With that, Natsuki leaves.

"Did you need something?" Haruka asks Syo.

"I…uh," Syo scratches the back of his head, trying to think of something quick. "I wanted to thank you for helping me overcome my fears because I've gotten plenty of movie requests!" Syo puts on a convincing smile.

"Oh, that's great!" Haruka claps. "Your acting skills are awesome!"

"Really? Thanks." Syo blushes some more at Haruka's compliment.

~~~~~~After breakfast~~~~~

Haruka finished her breakfast and decides to continue writing her song she started yesterday. When she arrives in the piano room, she finds Masato playing a song of hers. He starts singing about locked up feelings until…

"Masato-kun?" she startles him.

"Oh! Haruka, I had no idea you were coming!" He stands up to greet her.

"I just wanted to compose another song for you guys." She says.

"You always work so hard for us, I appreciate it." Masato thanks her.

"It's nothing!" She bows and Masato leaves.

~~~~So far, Haruka hasn't received a direct love confession for a person like her to realize it~~~~

The sun is setting and it is getting dark. Haruka starts walking towards her dorm until a red haired boy stops her.

"Ittoki-kun?" Haruka asks.

Otoya gently grabs her hands and stares with his bright red eyes into her red-orange eyes. "Nanami," he says. His cheeks almost as red as his hair. "I like you!" He shouts.

That's about as blunt as it can get. Hope you enjoyed this chapter because Chapter 3 is coming soon!
