"eh, no way is that Ichigo-chan!"

This just might be the kind of situation where that phrase applies. Unable to stop herself from crying out, Ichigo sat in disbelief. It was hard to believe. But, it didn't seem like it was a dream.

With her mouth agape, she turned around to face the familiar voice she was hearing.

"uwaa~~ it really is Ichigo-chan"

A girl with slender legs and beautiful hair that swayed with each step walked up to their table

"halloo!"

"Ami-chan?" Ichigo's eyes became teary, her smile was three-times bright than usual. She was extremely shocked to see her friend. "What are you doing here?" was all she could ask.

"what else, to eat, silly!" her smile almost blended in perfectly amidst the gentle morning sunlight.

"kyaa~" Sure enough, she noticed the three princes. "Ichigo-chan, who are these cuties?"

"Ah, they're my groupmates in St. Marie Academy"

"oh, you mean the new school you transferred in?"

"uhn-" Ichigo nodded as she gave out a huge grin. "they're called the sweet princes"

"ho-ho!"

"this is Andou and then Kashino…"

"hi! I'm Nagisaki Ami, Ichigo's friend. Please call me Ami"

Before Ichigo could introduce the remaining prince, rose petals already showered at their table

There he handed a pink candied rose to the enthusiastic girl

"uhm..yeah, that's Hanabusa"

"thank you!" was all she could say as she blushed heavily at the sight of the princes.

"Ichigo-chan, you're so lucky"

"oh, I almost forgot! Rin-chan and Kitamura-kun are coming here too!

"Ehh,really?" Ichigo began to reminisce the past that the strawberry gelato she just ordered started to melt down her hand.

"Oi, Amano!" Kashino snapped her back to reality

"ho-ho!" her friend gave yet another teasing laugh. "Could it be because of Kitamura?

"huh? What about him?"

"Didn't he ask you out before?"

"EEEEHHHH?" everyone was shocked with what they heard.

"why is Ichigo-chan shocked too?"

Ichigo somehow didn't know what to say, so instead she gave a bashful laugh.

"so Ichigo-chan was unexpectedly popular in her previous school..."

"no-no way…"

"so-"

"so, what?"

"so how many admirers did you had?"

"ho-ho" Ami-chan's eyes were gleaming as she leaned forward to look at a better view at each of the princes face. Her senses were never wrong when it comes to her friend's love life.

"well, if you count Nagishima-san in sixth grade that'll be three-"

"EEEEHHH!" they gave yet another shriek

"like i said, why is Ichigo-chan shocked too?"
