"hotaru! Choji! Why are you here?"

"We were expecting a warmer welcome."

"Oh, sorry."

She looked at me sharply.

"Choji, why did you put a box of tumtax on your teacher, Tsubasa's chair?! Now you're in the principal's office again."

"Uhm┘"

"Silly boy. Anyway I just stopped by. See ya!" we walked toward the doors.

"Wait! why so fast?"

"Choji still needs to work with Shinji for a project."

"Ok, See you later at home, Choji!"

I waved.

"Tch. Baka, as always."

As we went outside we bumped into a girl carrying a basket of bread.

"Oh, Hotaru! hello┘ Mikan sent me to buy more bread┘smile I'll be going now┘bye!" then she went inside the restaurant.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"You didn't notice? It's Anna!"

"The girl who makes weird cakes?"

"Yeah. She's head-chef in Mikan's restaurant."

"what?!"

"Well, She makes delicious food┘but weird. One time she gave me a dancing chocolate cake┘so hard to eat┘"

"Well, I'll be going┘" I touched the ring on my finger when it suddenly slipped.

"Darn┘" I muttered. I was about to pick it up when a speeding car ran over it.

"ahh!!!"

The car stopped and out stepped a guy who is┘

"Kokoro, damn you!!!" Hotaru shouted.
