It was a new day at Shiriowa junior high, everybody was in the cafeteria eating breakfast. Best friends Hiroki, Shuya, Yutaka, Iijima, Shinji was at their table eating breakfast. Shinji noticed something strange about Hiroki, his face was really red and the turn of events that happened in Iijima's apartment. Hiroki turns his attention to Iijima who was texting on his phone, he tried hard not to think about what happened yesterday, despite the fact that it wasn't the first time Hiroki busted in on Iijima having sex. After breakfast was finished everybody head out to their locker, for their first period class. As Hiroki opens his locker, he was approached by a tall, short haired girl named Kotohiki Kayoko.
"Hey Hiroki how you doing today?" Kotohiki asked.
" I'm doing good, why you asked?" Hiroki asked.
"Because for some odd reason, your face look really red, did something happened?" Kotohiki asked.
"Well, Iijima would probably kill me for this, but yesterday when I went to get my phone charger from Iijima, I busted in on him having sex." Hiroki informed Kotohiki.
"Ok with who?" Kotohiki asked as Hiroki scratches his head.
"Tendo Mayumi." Hiroki responded.
"Don't worry he will get over it, like the time you busted in on him having sex with Mizuho during the eighth grade dance. Kotohiki reminded Hiroki.
"Oh yeah, that was by accident." Hiroki said as Iijima approached them.
"Hey guys what's up?" Iijima asked.
"Look man about yesterday, I apologize." Hiroki said.
"Don't worry about it man, it was my fault , I should have known to make sure the door was locked." Iijima said.
"So are we cool?" Hiroki said.
"Of course, its not like I will hold a grudge against you for that." Iijima said as he give Hiroki a high five.
"You see that wasn't so hard." Kotohiki said.
"Of course it wasn't, but I have to head to class, see you in second period." Hiroki said as he hugs Kotohiki and heads towards class.
"See you in second period my love." Kotohiki said to herself.
As Iijima heads to his first period class, he bumps into Tendo, the had brief conversation about yesterday. Tendo's face was really red, her heart was beating really hard, she couldn't even say a single word. She puts her arms around Iijima's neck around him and kisses him. With a surprised look on his face, Iijima kisses Tendo right back.
"Wow that was unexpected." Iijima said.
"There is something I have to get off my chest, yesterday felt like magic, like with there was a major spark between us." Tendo said as she blushes really hard.
"I fell the same way to." Iijima said.
"Really?" Tendo asked with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, why don't talk more of this over a movie at my place?" Iijima asked.
"I would love to." Tendo said with excitement.
Without his consent, Shinji and Shuya was listening to their conversation. The two boys was really surprise that their best friend has found love. They decided to keep to it themselves. Ijima arrives at his first period which is history with Mr. Honda, he was class was a little to easy for him. He was given a group assignment where he has to complete a worksheet. His group included himself, Shinji, Shuya, Satomi Noda, Yuka Nakagawa and Sakura Ogawa. During their group work, Shinji whisper to Iijima.
"What's going on with you and Tendo?" Shinji asked.
"Were you listening to our conversation?" Iijima asked.
"It was Shinji's idea." Shuya said.
"Thanks a lot Shuya." Shinji said as he threw a paper ball at Shuya's head.
"Hey lets just focus on this assignment, we talk about it during lunch." Iijima said.
"Oh yeah something is up, anything involving a girl he will automatically change the subject." Shuya said.
"Wow, who is this lucky girl if I may ask?" Satomi asked.
"Don't you guys say a single word." Iijima said.
"Don't worry I'll figure it out eventually." Satomi with a smile on her face.
"Go ahead Iijima, you big stud." Yuka said.
"This is why we should discuss this at lunch." Iijima said.
"Yeah, i think you're right." Shuya said.
After finishing their group assignment, the whole class discuss the answers they had with their groups. The class turned in their worksheets waiting for next assignment, which was to choose an era of Japanese history as group, and write a summary about it. Whatever they don't finish in class, they could finish it for homework. As the students were working on their, the ball rang for class dismissal, it was time to move on to 2nd period.
As Iijima was walking his way to his locker to get his things for second period, he gets stopped by Satomi and Hirono. Whatever he was discussing with Shinji and Shuya wasn't over."Now tell us who is this lucky girl Keita." Satomi said.
"If it's a girl from a different class, she has to go through us first." Yuka said as she pinches Iijima's face.
"There is no need for that, becides, i would think twice before dating a girl from another class." Iijima as he sees Tendo and Fujiyoshi walking their way.
"Hey Iijima where are you headed?" Tendo asked.
"To math class." Iijima responded.
"Cool, i have math class to, i see you in a few minutes." Tendo said as kisses Iijima.
"See you in a few minutes." Iijima said as he turns his attention back towards Satomi and Yuka.
"Congrats to you Iijima, you lucky stud." Satomi complimented Iijima.
"You lucky son of a gun, see you in math class." Yuka said as she makes her to the gym.
"Goddammit, lets see how this play out." Iijima said to himself.
Meanwhile while Hiroki was dismissed from Ms Hitomi's math class, Hiroki heads towards his locker to get books for his next class. He noticed that Kotohiki was approaching him, with her hands on her chest. "Hey Kotohiki what's up?" Hiroki asked.
Before Kotohiki could answer the answer question, she took a deep breath, and told Hiroki what was on her mind. "Well there is something I have to get off my chest." Kotohiki said as her face was turning really red.
"Ok." Hiroki responded.
"Well for quite some time. I have been developing these for you, I just didn't know how to put it in words, you're sweet, gentle and really nice." Kotohiki confessed.
"Wow thanks, I never knew, well how about we talk about it at my place this afternoon, we could watch a movie." Hiroki responded.
"I would love to." Kotohiki said.
"Cool, come by anytime after 6, see you later." Hiroki said as he gives Kotohiki as kiss on her cheek and heads to his next class.
With so much excitement, Kotohiki was happy and relieved that she was able to express her feelings to Hiroki. Distracted by this special moment, Kotohiki rushed to her locker and heads to art class. As enters the classroom, she takes a seat next to her best friends Kanai Izumi and Chigusa Takako. The two girls noticed that their best was happier than she usually she, they knew something was up.
"Hey Koto what's up with you today?" Izumi asked.
"Well Hiroki invited me to his place this afternoon." Kotohiki responded.
"Really he did?" Chigusa said she reminded herself that her and Hiroki used to date.
"Is there any particular reason?" Izumi asked.
"Just to watch a movie." Kotohiki responded.
"Today has been full of surprises." Chigusa said.
"Oh that's right you guys used to date." Kotohiki said.
"What do you mean by that?" Izumi asked.
"Word in our class, Iijima and Tendo are an item, we just don't know for long." Chigusa responded.
"Oh my god, no way, Tendo and Iijima, she is lucky." Izumi said.
"Well they lived in the same building for years, I knew something had to be up." Chigusa said.
"Wait, wasn't he dating Mizuho?" Izumi asked.
"Yeah, but things didn't work out, but they remain good friends." Chigusa responded.
"I hope things workout for them." Izumi said.
"I hope so to, if it doesn't I call dibs." Hirono said.
"Shimizu, were listening this whole time?" Kotohiki asked.
"Of course, I was, don't worry I wont tell a soul." Hirono said.
Hirono Shizumi was a member of Mitsuko's gang, she often pick fights with girls from other classes. Iijima managed to convince the gang to stop their bullying, earning their trust and respect. He was one of the few guys in the class she could trust, she developed a secret crush on him ever since. They always engage in a good conversation and share a good laughter.
"Well class is about to begin, mind as well get back to my seat, see you guys." Hirono said as she heads back to her table.
"She really has changed." Kotohiki said.
"Iijima did managed to convince them to stop their bullying for good." Chigusa said.
"Well that's true, you don't she has a crush on him?" Izumi asked.
"No way, that's impossible." Kotohiki said.

"We sure do." Izumi said as the three girls shares a laugh.
