New Students

Keiichi's POV

Today is Monday and Mion and I are going to school. We were supposed to bring Rika along but Mion's mom said they would take care of her. Besides, how are we going to study with her? So I guess this is better.

I never thought I'd say this but, I am kind of happy with my situation. I don't know why but getting to spend some time like this with Mion, it makes me feel, I don't really know how to explain it, but I know I'm happy. Maybe, maybe I like her? W-wait, that's impossible. Mion is just a friend. I don't like her. No, of course I like her, I mean, we're friends. But- Ahh! This is so confusing! Why am I even thinking of this?

"Keiichi!"

Huh?

Mion's POV

Rena is sick so Kei-chan and I, just the two of us, would walk together to school. But Kei-chan looks like he's in a deep thought, so I just wouldn't disturb him.

Kei-chan… I don't know why, but I know that I love him. I will never tell him though, after all, I know he doesn't feel the same. Guys don't like girls who are boyish, they like them to act cute. So I know, I know that he will never like me.

"Keiichi!"

That voice is familiar. When I turned around, I saw Roy running towards us. Not just that, he's also wearing a school uniform! Does this mean that-

"Hey guys!" he said while catching his breathe.

"Hey, why are you wearing that uniform?"

"Oh this? I forgot to tell you yesterday but since I'll be here for a while, I enrolled at your school"

"What? W-well…" Is it just me, or does Kei-chan sounds like he doesn't want Roy near? I thought they were best friends…

"You wouldn't mind walking me there, right?"

"Of course not, we better get moving or we'll be late"

*SCENE BREAK*

Normal POV

"Shion, I am really grateful for everything you have done for me. Letting me stay here, taking care of Satoko, helping me with my surprise for her. I don't know how to repay you"

"It's okay Satoshi-kun. This is what friends are for right" Shion said with a warm smile.

When Satoshi woke up, Shion explained everything to him. Since Satoshi missed Satoko's birthday, they decided that they'd throw a surprise party for her later this day. So Satoshi has been staying at Shion's place until now. They are currently preparing breakfast when Satoshi brought the topic.

"But Satoshi-kun, is it really okay if you go to school now? Don't you think you should still rest?" Satoshi just giggled.

"Shion is so caring it's like you're my girlfriend" Even though Satoshi meant this as a joke, Shion couldn't help but blush. So she decided to joke as well to hide her embarrassment.

"W-well, aren't you pretty lucky to have me as a girlfriend" Satoshi just laughed again.

"Yup, I am pretty lucky" he smiled and patted Shion's head.

The two are too busy that they didn't notice someone enter the room.

"You two are cute together"

"Wha-"

"Relax, it's just me"

There, sitting on the chair in the kitchen, is the girl Keiichi met last night.

"Amaya"

"Kukuku, you still remember me huh?"

"Satoshi-kun, this is Amaya, she is a childhood friend of Onee and I. Amaya, Satoshi-kun"

"Nice to meet you, Amaya-san" When Satoshi reached out his hands for a handshake, Amaya just ignored it. Shion brought up a new topic to avoid the awkwardness.

"Uhmm, so, when did you arrive?"

"Just yesterday"

"Have you met my sister?"

"Yeah, last night. Anyway, I think I'm living here again"

"Do you have a place to stay at?"

"That's what I came here for, I thought there's still some space for me here, but looks like it's already crowded" she shot a look at Satoshi.

"Uhh, actually, I'm gonna live with my sister, so- "

"That's great! Also, I enrolled at your school"
