The foundation day would start at 7am sharp, just not enough time for Asuka to even rest after her part time job, but she had to go, or else she'll get another violation.

She reaches the school almost the same time that Lili's car parked. When she noticed the blonde girl coming out, Asuka walked faster. She didn't want to meet that girl in the start of the morning.

But poor Asuka just can't have what she wants. Their section called for a meeting in the classroom. Asuka still had to see Lili there, but they were very far from each other, so it doesn't really hurts that much.

Asuka unconsciously tries to notice if Lili's ankle seemed fine now. Unfortunately, the blonde was sitting the whole time, not moving her feet at all. Asuka simply concluded that it still wasn't healed, or why else would the blonde be such a stiff in the chair.

When the short discussion of guidelines and roles were finished, everyone took their uniforms and started with their jobs. Asuka didn't have to wear anything but a hat with the diner logo of their classroom. She was assigned to carry a big sign board though.

When the people inside were all ready to open, a girl from the cashier area, clad in a yellow and red diner uniform clapped her hands to the air. Everyone clapped too. A guy nearest to the front door signaled a thumb's up to the classroom before turning the sign board in the door to OPEN.

Asuka walked off immediately, knowing that she had to promote as soon as possible or her classmates will begin getting mad at her again. When she reaches the frame of the entrance, she looks back inside, seeing Lili having a hard time walking to and fro. Her eyebrows twitched down. She felt the need to help Lili since she knows that she's the reason why she's having such a hard time now. Yet, wasn't she also having a hard time. She hadn't even had a wink of sleep for the past 24 plus hours, and she hadn't had breakfast yet, nor will she even enjoy the money she'll get with those jobs and hard work. She realized just how much of a hell she's been living because of that Lili, so for what reason did she have the right to even deserve Asuka's help. She's given more than enough already.

Asuka turned a cold shoulder and tried to even smirk at Lili, trying to convince herself that it was what that snob needed.

She left the school building and joined the easily escalating students and other visitors at the grounds. Being the Asuka that she was, she first enjoyed going around the food stands and buying little snacks to fill her growling stomach. She then went to the library which was closed, but she knew a way to get it from another door. She easily breaks in and falls asleep at one of the chairs.

Lili was now working at the cashier, although she was intentionally to be a waitress. Her classmates couldn't fathom the way she looked when she was having such a hard time to get the orders and giving them, so by the first hour of her shift, her classmate happily exchanged jobs with her.

She found it both fun and warm how she was being treated by everyone. Even the guys who were obviously lusting at her body and beauty made her feel happy, or over confident is really the right term.

She was just sitting at the humorously high chair, clicking buttons and handling money, which she enjoyed so much too. She would move her left feet sometimes to feel her ankle, but it just hurts so much that she would even have to bite her lips to stop from screaming.

That Asuka, I should've known she was lying, I better go to the doctor later-

"Hey, Lili-san your shift's done for now, you can come back by 2pm" A short haired girl wearing thick, black framed glasses approached the blonde.

"Is that so, Thank you Hatsune" Lili hopped down the high chair. She forgot how high the chair was making her almost cry when her ankle trashed the ground so fast and hard.

"Ah, Lili-san, are you ok?" Hatsune holds Lili's arms to support her from falling, feeling worried about how Lili's face was just cringed to pain.

Lili removes the glasses girl hold on her, and stood straight. She had now controlled the pain she was feeling and changed her expression to neutral and cool. She walks off to the front door and calls back to Hatsune, only looking from the side of her shoulder.

"I'll be back by 2, Adieu" Lili said. She went in a catwalk and whipped her hair at the entrance before turning sideways.

Everyone stay awed with her magnificent aura seconds even after she's left.

Asuka woke up after she hears cheers and yelling from the window inside the library. She stretches her body to the fullest while yawning loud. She rubs her eyes and stands up, leaving the library.

She steps out and sees that the campus was so full of people now. The booths and food stalls had doubled and the sports games have started.

A bunch of people in civilian clothing came running in rampage toward Asuka's direction which she avoids easily by jumping off their heads.

No wonder there was so much yelling

Asuka looked around to see where she can start promoting their classroom diner.
It was now 10:30 am, and she was sure that her classmates should be expecting a lot of customers by now.

She sees an area at the opposite side, close to other booths where tons of students and visitors were going and leaving. She smiled to herself and started to walk towards it when she stopped midway.

The rough girl noticed her rival walking towards that very same area, which made Asuka growl.

Hey, finders keepers

Lili saw Asuka coming to her direction; she stopped walking and waited for her rival to come close to her.

"Kazama-san, you've been doing such a lousy job, there are no customer's coming to the diner but my pervert worshippers" Lili greets her in her ever fake sweet voice.

"I don't need to do a good job for those idiots" Asuka answered in her usual sketchy but cool voice. "Especially if her blondish brat is so consumed of making her temple out of that cheap student diner"

"Watch your mouth there, Kazama, I can have better if I want to" Lili was now showing her true side, snarky and dominating.

"Tsk, yeah, that was before, when you were still rich. Reality check princess, once you totally become poor, no one's gonna look at you for yourself, they're always just gonna be after the pretty sexy body of yours" Asuka stood away from Lili, sliding her hand up to down in the air to emphasize the Monaco white body.

Lili's mouth hang agape, which made Asuka pleased.

"You think I'm pretty and sexy?" Lili asked Asuka while her hands touched her chest.

Asuka sighed surprised before blushing. "Just leave me already to continue my lousy job"

Lili raised a brow before she leaves Asuka. When she was a great distance away, she decided to look back. She caught Asuka still looking at her, she smiled warmly but Asuka was waving her hands.

Lili looked so confuse and tried to wave back at Asuka.

The rampage of running people that Asuka just saw a while ago was coming back now, running straight to them. The crazy people were in a frenzied state that they'll bump anything or anyone from their way, causing the other civilians and students to run away from them. Lili hadn't noticed the rampage that was coming behind her, she was still busy decoding the weird gestures and waving of Asuka.

"Stampede!" Asuka yelled to the top of her lungs.

Lili couldn't hear her from their distance and the loudness of the cheers and shouts close to her. She rather makes up what Asuka is saying by reading the girl's lips.

"Sta…Sta…Stamp..id?, Stampede?!" Lili yelled back at Asuka who nods furiously at her and points towards her back.

Lili follows the direction of Asuka's point. She sees the swarming rampage coming so close to her. She tries to run away from it but she couldn't step fast enough because of the pain in her ankle.

"Get out of the way idiot!" Asuka kept yelling. "Hurry up and just run! Or jump!"

Asuka noticed Lili move, which makes her stop yelling but she notices that Lili can't actually escape since her left ankle was broken.

"Ugh!, Why do I always have to help you?!" Asuka thundered fast to Lili and caught her by the waist; she jumps high from the ground and lands the both of them at the end of the rampage.

"Asuka Kazama , you should know better to land gently when you're carrying someone who's injured!" Lili pushed Asuka off of her, and tried to stand up on her own. Asuka looks mad at her and stands herself.

The two of them stare at each other; Asuka was crossed arm while Lili was slightly slanting. She was not letting her left injured feet touch the ground.

Asuka moved to her fighting stance. Lili was wide eyed at her. "Are you serious about starting a fight with someone injured?" Lili raises her foot to show her swelling ankle.

Asuka for the first time, saw just how big the bump on Lili's ankle has become, there was blue and brown and green hue on her skin.
While looking at Lili's beaten bad ankle, a loud blast came off.

Both Asuka and Lili scanned where the blast just came from. The stalls and booths outside breaks down to the ground, and everyone was just running in different directions.

Lili put her ankle down and jump onto Asuka, embracing her from the neck.

"What are you waiting for? Run!" Lili wiggles Asuka.

Asuka was almost choking with Lili's grip on her neck, for a second her body reacted to Lili's command to run, but she suddenly noticed two groups of goon looking guys chasing each other, heading for the school buildings.

She loops out from Lili's embrace on her neck, and helps the injured beauty to gain a straight standing.

"I need to chase after those jerks; no one escapes Asuka the gang mediator!" Asuka shouted with confidence and started running to the building.

Lili stood there with her right hand raised to a position where it seems like she tried to stop Asuka. She closes her hand and nods to herself before chasing after Asuka.

The goons were wearing the same uniform as the boys in Asuka's school, but she doesn't recognize any of them. The two groups were composed of 6 guys each and the longer that Asuka chased after them, she realizes that they were actually allies. The two groups ran together after combining in the first floor of the building. Asuka tried to jump on the guys who were at the back. One guy fell down when Asuka kicked him in the back at the stairs. Another guy tumbled down the stairs when Asuka gets ahold of his shirt and pulls him hard. The other three after them were stumped in the face when Asuka tried to overtake them from above.

Lili was slowly following from behind; she was able to avoid the bodies being thrown from the stairs and give them a final blow if they were still conscious.

When there was only four guys left, they run fast to enter the chemistry lab at the last room in the third floor.

Asuka reached the lab too late. The guys had locked themselves in. Asuka repeatedly tries to break the door down. She tries kicking it but the aluminum door didn't even get a scratch. She then moved backward, away from the door and run to it, budging the door with the side of her shoulder.

The door was still reactionless. Asuka held on to the door knob, thinking that she could maybe break it to open the door. She gripped hard on the knob when it suddenly twisted; Asuka pulled it fast open, as if afraid that it might lock again. She pops her head in, and before she could see anything, she went into a seizure like state. Two of the goons came out with masks on their face as they held a bottle sprayer on their hands.

Asuka was holding onto her neck, coughing violently. Her eyes started to get teary, becoming red and wide open. Her mouth felt so dry and she was losing breathe.

The two guys sprayed at her again, causing her body to vehemently shake on its own. The other two came out of the lab grabbing a little vial, they laughed at Asuka who has stopped shaking but was breathing in and out so fast.

The four goons, makes their escape easily while giving Asuka some kicks on the side which the girl still tried to return to them but with no avail. When the four of them had gone away from Asuka's body, they were abruptly stopped by Lili, ready on her fighting position.

The guy who was holding the bottle tried to spray some on Lili, but she kick the guy's hand with her good feet. The bottle flies near Asuka, and Lili realizes that the girl was suffering. She kicks the two guys that carried the bottle directly in their faces. Blood came out of their mouths before they fell asleep in the floor. She then grabbed the other guy in his shirt, she carries the guy and tosses him to the other who was holding the vial. The vial falls and rolls to Lili's feet; she retrieves it to her pocket and kicks the two guys to unconsciousness.

Lili makes her way to Asuka whose sweat was dripping so much, her polo was already soaking. She was relentlessly exhaling and inhaling, her body was trembling lightly and her eyes weren't even blinking.

"Kazama? Kazama?" Lili gently shakes Asuka's body in her arms; she pulled the girl closing to her, until she was almost sitted to the blonde's lap.

Asuka's mind was yelling inside her to snap out of it. Although her body is almost in a seizure state, Asuka's mind was as normal as ever, she can still hear and see everything correctly, including Lili's call to her. She can even hear the blonde's worried voice as she begs for an ambulance to come as fast as they.

Lili layed Asuka on the floor again, she patted the girl on her temple, wiping her sweaty bangs.

"Don't worry Asuka, the ambulance are on their way now, just wait ok?"

Asuka's body was still in a dire situation yet in her mind, Asuka was grateful to see the caring of her rival for her. She couldn't command her mouth to say what she wanted but she was just thankful that Lili was there to help her. Asuka's body was slowly stopping to shake and her sweat was also lessening, Lili notices this and tries talking more to her.

"Asuka, Asuka, that's right, fight it, I know you can.."

Asuka's hearing was deafening until she couldn't hear what Lili was saying to her anymore. She desperately wanted to move her hands but they just won't. Her eyes started to cry. Lili cupped her cheeks and tried to swipe her tears.

She called me Asuka, call me more, call me more

Asuak's mind was now becoming blurry too, she kept repeating in her mind how much she wanted Lili to call her name again, but at the same time below the deepest regions of Asuka's mind, she was asking why she was thinking of this.

All too suddenly, Asuka felt her chest burning. Her mouth let out a wild scream of pain which made Lili back away from her. Asuka's hands found their way to her chest. Her heart was beating so fast and she palpitating ridiculously.

Lili held her shoulder's and tried to stop her from reaching to her chest since her hands were starting to grip hard on them.

Asuka

Asuka

Asuka

Her name was the only thing that Asuka could hear whenever Lili opened her mouth to say something to her. Asuka felt so much adrenaline and pain in her body, her mind was going dizzy.

Why am I palpating so much? My hearts beating crazy it feels like it wants to come out of my chest…

Lili was softly slapping Asuka on the side of her cheek. Asuka had fell unconscious, her abdomen wasn't rising or anything anymore. Her mouth didn't give out any air.

Lili was frantic that Asuka might've died already. She tried pumping Asuka's chest to revive her heart but she couldn't pump so well with such big distractions.

"Stupid big chest!" Lili stopped thrusting the seemingly dead girl's chest. She inhaled a lot of air before she pressed her mouth to Asuka's, giving her CPR. She repeatedly does this until the ambulance team arrives.
