Okay so I did continue this. xD but I'm not sure if the way I made this chapter will be good tho.

Thanks for the reviews!

The next day…

Umi finally attend the first class, and she sat at the back row near the window. She looked outside the window and rests her chin on her left palm. She sighed. She heard the chair next to her scratches the floor, she turned around only to find out; a bunch of students gathering the table next to her.

She was startled of how fast they got there. They were noisy and it annoyed her, one can visibly see her vein pop out of her forehead. So she just looked away from the group. She look back at the window wondering who the hell is sitting beside her.

And then she remembered and she blushed. The sound of the door opening broke the group of students back on to their respective seat. And there she was; Minami Kotori sitting beside her.

"Okay class, let's go back to what we discussed about yesterday…" the teacher said "oh, Minami-san, why don't you share your notes with Sonoda-san—"Umi almost jumped off her chair as she looked up with a hard blush on her face.

"—since little miss delinquent here, didn't attend class yesterday." The teacher added and Umi turned away "tch! Whatever."

Kotori suddenly moved her table next to Umi and it caused Umi to look at her, the brunette just smiled at her as she positioned her notebook in the middle for Umi to see.

"Uh- thanks…" Umi muttered to herself, Kotori leaned closer and said "you're welcome, Umi-chan."

"C-chan?" Umi thought. "Uh- hey Kotori, what's this about…?" Umi pointed at the first problem on Kotori's notebook. "Oh! It's about…" Kotori explained everything to Umi, and she just stared at the brunette as she spoke, she didn't know how close their faces are to each other.

"Um… Umi-chan?" Kotori's voice snapped Umi back to reality "Y-yes?" She stared at Kotori, their nose were inches apart and Umi could feel her face heating up; from her neck up to her forehead, and she stood up in the middle of class and screamed.

….

Later, during lunch

Umi was eating lunch with Eli and Nozomi; both of them are now in their third years. Eli and Nozomi were sitting next to each other while Umi sat across the table, they were facing each other.

"Soooo~ how was bird watching, Umi-chan?" Nozomi teasing asked

"S-shut it, Nozomi!" Umi hid her face with both her arms, and Maki suddenly joined them and sat next to Umi

"What's up with her?" Maki asked, one brow raised. "Oh, Umi-chan here, caught a love bug." Nozomi smirked.

"More like a bird than a bug, am I right, Nozomi?" Eli added, and Umi kicked Eli's shin under the table and the blonde yelp in pain.

"What have I got myself into" Umi thought as she hid herself again.

….

Umi was on her way to the locker room when she noticed two figures near where her locker is. She hid somewhere close as she eavesdrops on the two figures, as she listens; she recognized one of the voices, it was Kotori's the other one was a guy's.

"M-Minami-san!" he bowed in front of the brunette, arms extended towards her with a pink envelop.

"I don't think I can—"before she could finish the boy spoke again "Please, at least think about it! T-thank you!" and after that the boy ran away from Kotori. She looked at the piece of paper on her hand when suddenly a voice startled her. She turned around.

"Umi-chan!" she smiled and hid the envelop behind her. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"That's my locker." Umi pointed at the locker next to Kotori. She walked closer to the brunette and opened the locker, changed her school shoes into her sneakers.

"Want to walk together?" Umi asked out of nowhere and Kotori answered way to fast "YES!" Umi was taken aback and just smiled.

….

The two of them walked together side by side, the sun was setting and it brings a wonderful orange hue to the surroundings, the wind was blowing against them and Umi's hair was hitting her face repeatedly which made the latter laugh at Umi's pissed off face.

Then a gush of wind came out of nowhere and Kotori's green ribbon flew "ah!" The brunette tried to reach for it but she was too short. Umi noticed this and ran after the ribbon that is somehow flying away from the two.

"W-wait! Umi-chan. It's just a ribbon!" Kotori yelled at Umi who was still following the ribbon. The object finally slowed down and Umi got closer but all of a sudden a car almost ran her over, good thing she was quick on her feet and noticed the ribbon flew once again.

"Are you kidding me?" Umi cursed under her breath.

She crossed the street even though the stop light was red and the cars were honking their horns as Umi ignored them and just ran. Finally when she got to a nearby park, the ribbon got stuck on a tree branch. Umi wiped the sweat that rolled down her chin with her sleeve.

She tried to climb the tree but she failed and fell unto her butt. She groaned in annoyance. She grab a rock, the same size as her fist and readies herself, like she was a pitcher of a baseball game, and she threw the ball and broke the branch causing the ribbon to slowly fall into Umi's head.

"I got it." She said to herself as she smiled, she felt like she made a big accomplishment for Kotori. Kotori!

Umi remembered she just ran and left Kotori alone. Kotori probably went home without her. She sat on the ground legs crossed and lowers her head and the ribbon fell onto the ground in front of her, she picks it up and just stared at it.

Then a voice called her, the bluenette looked up saw Kotori running up to her yelling her name, it seems she hasn't seen her yet.

"Umi! Are you here?!" Kotori yelled, and then she saw a certain blue haired delinquent sitting on the ground on the park. She ran towards the bluenette, Kotori stopped in front of the bluenette with both her hands on her knees, panting as if she ran a marathon.

"I got it!" Umi extended her hand with the ribbon in it towards Kotori, Umi smiled. Kotori looked at Umi with a worried look, the bluenette's hands were dirty and her face was flushed and a little sweaty but Kotori didn't mind, she pounced on the bluenette which caused Umi to fall on her back with Kotori in her arms.

"K-Kotori, w-what are you doing?!" Umi's face turned red as she just recognized the position they are in.

"Umi-chan I was so worried you left me!" Kotori hugged Umi tighter.

"I was just helping you get your ribbon back—"Umi replied as she slowly sat up "It's just a ribbon, Umi…" Kotori stifled a reply "What if you got hurt…" Kotori pushed herself away from the hug in order to look at the brunette only to find out Umi had a nosebleed and had a serious look on her face "I-I'm good, Kotori." Umi give Kotori a thumbs up.

"Umi-chan! Your nose!"
