Teto and Iroha had finished 5 minutes before the bell to leave school rang. "Okay, we're done. It looks fabulous! Thanks so much for helping me, Iroha." Teto said, her eyes fixed upon the decorative classroom. "It's nothing! Decorating is my thing. It was fun, too." Iroha said, blushing. "Lets go get the others." Teto said, leaving the room. Iroha followed after. They both came across Miku and Rin at the stairway, looking out the window that shows the school's backyard. "What are you two doing?"Teto asked. Miku and Rin jumped as they noticed Teto walking towards them. "We're uh... just looking at something..." Rin replied as she giggled. "Yeah! That's all." Miku said, also giggling between her words. Teto pushed Rin and Miku out of the way. She couldn't believe her eyes.
There was Len, laying down with his eyes closed while Neru was holding him, with her eyes closed too. "Are they sleeping? I've got to wake them up!" Teto said, rushing down the stairs. Miku and Rin followed her as Iroha also looked out the window. "Aaah!" She quietly screamed as she ran down the stairs, following Teto. Teto appeared right in front of the two, demanding them to wake up. Len slowly opened his eyes. "What? I was in the middle of a really good dream too." He said sleepily. Teto pointed to Neru. Len looked down and flinched. Neru's head flinched along with him, and she was right under his chin. She woke up shortly after and looked up to see Len. She blushed and backed away from Len. "I-I'm sorry! I fell asleep and well.. that happened." She said, not daring to face him. Len looked away and scratched the back of his head. "Um..." He trailed off. "Just what were you guys doing?" Teto asked. "We fell asleep." Len said. Neru nodded. Teto crossed her arms and sighed. The school bell rang, indicating the end of the school day.
Neru grabbed her bag and headed for her house. 'Jeez... What was I thinking? There's no way I'll get closer to Len like that... Besides, he likes Teto, right? Hes out of my league, anyway.' She thought as she came to the street's intersect. She was surprised when she saw Meiko, one of her best friends. "Meiko!" Neru said loudly, running over to Meiko. Meiko noticed Neru and waved. "Hey Neru!" She said, hugging her. "I didn't know you lived here." Neru said. "Ah, yeah. I just moved in a while ago." Meiko replied. "Wanna check out my house?" She asked. "Sure!" Neru said. They both walked over to Meiko's house, which wasn't far at all. Neru was surprised at how neat, clean, and organized her house was. "Aren't you gonna lock your door?" Neru asked. "Nah, no need for me to. Besides, its how I earn more housemaids." Meiko pointed to five old men who were dressed in maid outfits. Neru and Meiko laughed. "So, Neru, found any cute boys yet?" Meiko teased. Neru blushed as she thought about Len. "No." She said. "Aw. Thats too bad. You're gorgeous, Neru. You could definently get a boyfriend at your age." Meiko complimented. "Thanks. I should get going now." Neru said as she headed for the door. "Alright. Thanks for coming over! See ya later Neru!" Meiko yelled to Neru as she walked down the street. "See ya Meiko!" Neru yelled, waving at her.
Neru noticed she was out of groceries by the time it was dark out. "Dammit. I'll just go to the convenient store right now. Neru grabbed her bag and locked her door. She headed for the convenient store when she was unexpectedly grabbed by someone. "Hey! What are you doing? Quit it!" She yelled before her mouth was covered. The person grabbed her and carried her away from the convenient store. She punched the man and fell to the ground. She breathed heavily and got up. "What the hell are you doing?" She said as the man grabbed her wrists. Suddenly she remembered that her mom always told her to never go out late at night alone. "God dammit!" Neru yelled as she turned around and kicked the stranger's face. He tumbled to the ground while Neru grabbed her bag. She took out a flashlight and shone it in the stranger's face. He had strange clothes, and purple hair tied back in a ponytail. "Who the hell are you?" Neru asked, angrier than she had ever been in her life. The man brushed his clothes and stood up. "I am very sorry for what just happened. My name is Gakupo. I have never met a lady as fine as you." He said while bowing. "Huh? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Excuse me, but I am NOT a lady." Neru said, giving him a deadly look. "My apologies. What is your name?" Gakupo asked her. Neru burst out in evil laughter. "You think I'd give you my name? No way!" She kicked Gakupo in the face and started grinding her foot in his face. "Hah! You're so pathetic! Why don't you go and fall off the edge of a cliff? You suck!" She stopped when she noticed blood gushing out of his nose. "See ya, hentai!" She yelled as she grabbed her bag and ran to the convenient store.
When Neru entered the convenient store she noticed it was pretty empty. Only four people there, one of them a cashier. She quickly grabbed snacks and ran up to the register. "Hey girl, you're looking pretty fine there." The cashier said to her. "Sorry. I'm not interested." Neru said, smart enough to avoid creepy people like that. She payed and quickly grabbed her bag of groceries. She sprinted out of there like a cheetah. "No way am I staying over there." She muttered to herself. She quickly entered her house and locked her door. She then slept until the next day.
Neru got up early for school the following day. She and Teto walked to school together as always. By lunch time, Teto had invited everyone into the clubroom. "Alright, I have decided. This weekend we are all going to volunteer at the beach in a beach house. Won't it be fun? It's our club's first activity. And if you don't come, you will get an F in 8th period." Teto said. Everyone stared in shock. Iroha, Miku, and Rin jumped up in victory. Neru just sat there, looking at Len. Then it came to her. A brilliant idea. 'I'll get my cutest bikini! Then I'll seduce him!' Neru smirked at her idea as Teto explained the details of their first activity. "It's kind of like a field trip. It will be overnight, and at night time, we'll all go to a bathhouse." Teto said. Miku and Rin squealed. "Hey. My friend wants to join this club, is that okay?" Len asked. "Who is he?" Teto asked. "Kaito." Len replied. Teto nodded. "Cool. I'll invite him tomorrow." Len said.
The next few days went by quickly. Kaito had joined the club, and Neru hadn't really gotten any closer to Len. Soon it was friday afternoon. Neru laughed as she tried on her cutest hawaiin style beach outfit. "He'll totally fall for this!" She said as she struck a few poses. Neru squealed to herself as she thought of tomorrow. "This is gonna be so much fun..."
