"So are you nervous about kissing Tsuruga-san?" Chiori questioned Kyoko as the LoveMe girls organized the President's seemingly endless costume closet.

"I'm not kissing Tsuruga-san!" flustered Kyoko as she tossed a torn pirate hat into the half-filled trash bin.

"So is Yuuko looking forward to kissing Tsuruga-san?" teased LoveMe number three as she hung a sheer toga on an overcrowded rack.

When she received no reply to her second question, Chiori turned to check on her acting senpai. Amamiya's breath caught in surprise at the slightly dazed expression on Kyoko's face. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes held an almost trance-like appearance.

Chiori repeated Kyoko's name a couple times before the teen finally responded.

"Oh, sorry," stammered Kyoko with a bow and a flustered voice. "I wasn't paying attention. What did you say?"

"Forget it," her companion replied with an amused shake of her head.

As LoveMe number three returned to her task at hand, Kyoko's fingers slipped to touch her lips.

"It's only Yuuko who is looking forward to kissing Masanori," Kyoko warned herself silently.

"Not me kissing Tsuruga-san," she unconvincingly lied to herself.
