Maki's P.O.V

the next day I woke up early and when I went outside my room my Mom and Dad are carrying big boxes

"What are you doing Mom?" I asked

"ohh you woke up early...come help me carry this...there's a new person who will live with us" My mom said

"Ohhh new maid?" I asked

"Nope... it's Yazawa Nico" she said

"What?!" I said

"Maki-chan" Nico said right behind me, I just looked at her

"You woke up so early but you're always late in class you know" She smiled

"Didn't I tell you not to talk with me again?" I said coldly

"Hehehehe we're in the same house...so it's a kind of awkward if the two of us won't talk right?" She said

"I gotta go" I said

"Ehhhh? Let's go to school together" She said

"Maki... from now on You and Nico will go to school together ok?" My Mom said

"Ughhh...ok fine" I said and get my bag and went inside my car...Nico followed

"I will eat breakfast there in school..." I said to my Mom

"Okay dear" She said

When we arrived at the parking lot of our school... I said something to Nico

"Don't tell anybody that we are living in the same house okay?" I said

"You're not mad at me anymore?" She asked

"Yeah" I smiled slightly

"Alright then" She smiled back

When we arrived at our classroom I sit beside her since we are seatmates..after that Honoka and Kotori came

"Yo Maki-chan,Nico-chan" Honoka cheered

"Hey" I said

"So...how's you and Nico? Getting along well?" She asked me

"Well...we're friends anyway hehehe" I smiled and then the teacher came in and Honoka and Kotori went to their seats

"Ok... let's get on with this directly... it's almost examination so please stand up those I will call... Eri Ayase,Honoka Kousaka,Kotori Minami,Nozomi Tojo, Umi Sonoda,Hanayo Koizumi... and... Nico Yazawa" The teacher said so they all stand up

"The 7 of you will pick one of the persons I will call now... Aika Akiyama,Chinatsu Fujimoto,Ayane Fukui,Haruka Hisakawa,Kaori Hayashi,Miki Kawaguchi, and... Maki Nishikino" Wait what? My name is called but still confused on what's going on... so I just stand up

Nico's P.O.V

"Eri's group is Group A and Maki's Group is Group B...now Group B will pick a partner from Group A" The teacher said

"Maki you can pair up with me" Nozomi shouted

"Ahhh Sorry Nozomi but I'm going to pair up with Nico" Maki said

"you're going to pair up with me?" I asked

"Well... I know that the girls in this classrooms don't like you except for Honoka,Kotori and Eri...and Also me...so I just want to be your partner that's all" She smiled and I blushed a little

"T-Thanks" I said without looking at her

"Ok... now that you're already with your partner...you see the examinations are coming and Group B are the ones having a lower grades and Group A are the ones having the highest grades so I want Group A to help Group B to study...from now on your partner is your study partner" The teacher said

"Ehhhh?!" Maki got surprised, I just laugh

"Don't laugh Idiot!" She said

"Sorry,Sorry... is just that.. I thought that we are partners for some activities but helping you to study is an another story hahhahaha" I continue to laugh

"Grrrrrrrr" Maki pout and she's so cute and it makes me blushed again

Cute?...wait... what did I just say... jeez what is this feeling I have right now I thought

"You stop?" She said

"Ahhhh yeah hehehe" I said and still blushed a little

After class me and Maki went home directly and when we arrived...

"Where's mom?" Maki asked one of her maids

"Your parents have a business trip today and they will be back next week" The maid said

"Ohhhh okay then" Maki said

"When are we going to start studying Maki?" I asked her

"Maybe later" She said and went inside her room but I push the door wide open and went inside her room

"Hey! Get outside my room you Idiot!" She said

"Maki...is it always like this?" I asked her

"Geez... it's my choice if I want my room to be messy" She said coldly

"well...let's clean first your room and after that let's start" I said and she just nod

After couple of minutes of cleaning I saw the mini board of Maki near her study table

"Maki... is she your girlfriend?" I asked

"... Ex-girlfriend" She said and looked down

"Ohhh sorry about that..." I said

"It's okay hehehe" She smiled a little

"Can I know your story?" I asked

"Ahhhhh...s-sure" She said

Maki's P.O.V

"So...tell me... I'm listening" She smiled

"it started on a day with a gray sky...I was always alone in school and even in my house because my parents are always on a business trip... I have no friends in school but on that day...everything changed..." I said

FLASHBACKS

"I forgot my umbrella again..." I said while looking for my umbrella in my bag...I have no choice but to go home without an umbrella

"Jeez...do you want to have a fever nyaa?" A girl asked behind me

"Ummm excuse me?" I said

"Rin Hoshizora...nice to meet you Maki-chan" Rin smiled

"Ugh...n-nice to meet you too" I said and she shared her umbrella to me

"You know Maki-chan... I've always wish that you and me will be friends" She said

"W-Why is that?" I asked

"Well... I can see that you're a good person and a responsible one nyaa" She said cheerfully

"Do you always have to say "Nyaa"?" I asked

"Yup!... I love cats and cats loves to make friends with someone who is beautiful and cute...and... the truth is …... I have a crush on you Maki-chan" she smiled and I was so surprised

END OF FLASHBACKS

"After that...Rin is the one who is always there by my side until I fell in love with her and we became lovers" I said

"Ehhhhh... that's why you drew a cat last time" She said and I nod

"Well... it's an unforgettable story I guess... a love that started on a rainy day"She smiled

" Yeah" I smiled back

"Well then... let's start studying" She said and I nod

Nico's P.O.V

"Then let's call it a day" I smiled to Maki and it seems like she fell asleep so I pat her head

"You're a troublesome seatmate...Maki-chan" I giggled and went into my room and sleep...

The next day... Me and Maki went to school together...

"Hhehehe" I giggled

"Something wrong?" She asked

"It's a kind of weird... because you're my classmate...my seatmate...my housemate and my study partner..." I smiled to her

"Yeah..." She smiled back

After class... Me and Maki decided to go home early because she wants to study but the time Maki was about to drove her car towards her house she stopped in the gate of our school

"Maki?" I said but Maki didn't reply...she just stare on the two persons in front of us and they're so familiar

"isn't that Rin and Eri?" I said and she went outside her car and went towards them

"Maki!" I said and I also went towards Rin and Eri

"What are you doing here?" Maki said

"Maki...chan" Rin said to her

"So you replace me to her huh?!" Maki pointed Eri

"Yes! Because I realize that you and I were not meant to be!" Rin said

"Maki let's go..." I said as I pulled Maki

"Nico wait!" Eri said, I just stare at her and let Maki get inside her car and I followed

"Let's go..." Maki said as she drove her car away from Rin and Eri

When we arrived at Maki's house...

"Let's start studying Maki-chan" I said

"ummmmm maybe next time Nico-chan" She said and went inside her room...
