The bell rang, signaling that a costumer had just arrived. Two men looked up with a smile ready to greet the new arrival. But they stopped once they realized who it was. Standing in the front was a young girl, no more than 15. Short brown hair that fell to her shoulders. And hazel eyes. Standing behind her was a purple haired giant.

"Hey Ryo-chan, Da-chan! Sorry I'm a little late. I'm still in charge of cleaning after school."

The boys didn't know what to say. They both stared at the guy behind her. Aiyanna seemed to realize what was happening.

"Oh! This is Murasakibara-San! He's a classmate of mine that is also in charge of cleaning. He decided to tag along."

The two men looked at each other before turning back and smiling.

"Of course! No need to worry at all Ai-chan! Any friend of yours is welcome here any time!"

"Thanks." Aiyanna turned to look at Murasakibara, "This is Ryo Shou," She motioned to the short black haired man with equal black eyes, "And this is Darwin Deon. He is from America." She motioned to the man with short blond hair tied back in a half pony tail and green eyes. "They are both third years."

"Hello!" Darwin extended his hand out but then put it back down after Murasakibara just stared at it.

"I don't like him." Ryo was not at all happy.

"Ryo! That is no way to treat a customer!"

"I don't like him! Ok!"

"He is Ai-chan's friend!"

"Classmate! She said classmate! Plus what kind of person refuses a handshake!"

"Ryo-chan…"Aiyanna looked up at Ryo, "please don't be like that. He's a nice person I promise…"

Ryo turn a slight red as Aiyanna stared at him. He looked at Murasakibara for a while. Murasakibara just stared back.

"Fine! Let him stay if he wants! What do I care!" He then turned and walked into the back room.

Darwin turn to Murasakibara.

"Don't you worry about him! He's just grumpy, that's all."

Murasakibara was looking at the floor. He looked like he was trying to say something but was unsure of how to say it.

"Murasakibara-san?" Aiyanna Glanced up at him worry. "What's wrong?"

"Cake..."

"What?"

"I want some cake." He looked up at the counter where there was a spread of mini cakes and one big one as well as cookies.

"Oh of course!" Darwin smiled at him. "Just sit down and I'll get you some, ok!"

Murasakibara nodded and then headed to an empty table. Aiyanna sighed.

"Well, I'll go get ready. Got to work on some new cupcakes."

Darwin nodded at her as she disappeared into the back room as well.

They day ended rather quickly. She managed to finish her cupcakes for the next day. Apparently, Murasakibara ended up eating half of the treats they had made that day. Ryo still didn't like him. He refused to talk to him all day. Aiyanna tried all she could to get Ryo to be nicer to Murasakibara, but failed.

After she was done cleaning up, she headed out to the front. Murasakibara was nowhere in sight.

"Huh…Where is Murasakibara-san?"

"He left about an hour ago. Something about having no more money. Either that or Ryo managed to scare him away with his glares."

"Why is he like that?"

"Don't know. But no worries Ai-chan! I'm sure he'll come around soon. Just give him some time to know him."

Aiyanna Sighed. She had no clue how she was going to deal with this. But Darwin was right. She already had enough to worry about. Hopefully with time, Ryo would change.

"Thanks Da-chan! Well, I better get going. I have a test tomorrow. And if I don't pass it…..well….god knows what Hachi-chan will do to me. I need to study."

"Haha! So Ha-kun is still trying to get you to pass huh?"

"He never stops."

"He is just trying to help you Ai-chan."

"Ya, I know. Well, goodbye!"

"Bye!"

And with that Aiyanna retired for the day. She had a lot of studying to do. And hopefully this time she would not fall asleep.

She did it. She passed. She blinked and looked at her score again. It was still there. 60 out of 100. Not the best, but enough to pass. She felt like she was in heaven. She wanted to show it to Hachiro, but it was lunch. And being the Student council President, he had a lot to do. So he was not around at the time. She would have to wait until after class. She neatly put her paper away.

It was a nice day outside. She decided to eat outside instead of inside today. She grabbed her lunch and headed out.

Aiyanna didn't have a lot of friends…..ok. Hachiro, Ryo and Darwin were her only friends. No female friends. But she didn't mind. She was happy with her friends. Ryo and Darwin always treated her like a sister. And if she managed to not sleep in class and pass her tests, Hachiro treated her fairly as well. Plus, she still had after school cleaning with Murasakibara. Though he didn't talk much. Well, he didn't talk at all. He was always eating. But that didn't matter. She was still happy. Plus she was shy, so that didn't help either.

There was this Cherry Blossom tree behind the school with a nicely located bench underneath. It was rare for someone to visit the place, thus it was Aiyanna's favorite place. But she was not ready for what she saw once she was there.

Murasakibara was fast asleep on the bench. He was holding an empty bag of chips as he slept. Aiyanna just stared. She walked up to him.

"Murasakibara-san…" Aiyana whispered silently. She wasn't sure if she should wake him up or not.

All of a sudden there was footsteps accompanied by a sigh.

"So he was here all the time."

Aiyanna turned around with a scream. Standing there was Tatsuya Himuro. He looked surprised to see her there.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I was just looking for him." He said as he pointed to Murasakibara.

"It's ok. No need to worry. I just wasn't expecting to see you here….uh.."

"Himuro. Tatsuya Himuro."

"Nice to meet you Himuro-san. I'm Sango. Aiyanna Sango." She took a slight bow.

"Hm… Sango-san, May I ask what you are doing here?"

"Well, I had come here to eat, but when I got here, he was already here."

"I see. Well, I better wake him up. The Student Council President is looking for him."

"Hachi-chan?"

"Yes do you know him?"

"Well, he's my friend since childhood…"

"I see, well better wake him up."

It was a funny sight watching Himuro wake Murasakibara up. He had to push him a few times in order to get a reaction from him. Even then, he just mumbled and continued to sleep. He didn't fully wake up until Aiyanna opened her lunch and took a piece of cake out. Murasakibara immediately woke up and stared at her, or more like at the cake. So she gave it to him. He wouldn't move until she had after all. And with one more wave, Himuro took Murasakibara away.

Aiyanna sighed. That was her only piece of cake. She finished the rest of her lunch before returning to class.
