"What happened back there?" asked Moko-san

"I have a slight nyctophobia*" her expression changed. Her look was telling me that she is worried.

"I'm quite fine now, I had to do various therapies for it. But I'm quite fine now,"

She sighed. "I'll go to your room whenever we experience a slight black out,"

I smiled. Moko-san might be a bit cold on the outside but she is definitely soft-hearted.

Then she opened the door at the end of the hallway. It looked a little creepy. The door was rusting and it seems it doesn't belong to this extravagant building.

"Ah...moko-san where are we?"

She smiled. "Welcome to Love Me circle" she opened the door and the room was a mess. Journal papers are scattered everywhere. No one was around. Books are all messed up.

"Whoah" I whispered,

"Yeah, sorry I am currently preparing for the upcoming quiz bee,"

So this is Love Me? "Why is it called Love me?" I asked her.

"You'll know soon,"

Then I heard a choir outside the room.

"He's here" whispered Moko-san.

"Who?"

The singing voices became louder. I opened the door. The entrance was extravagant and quite a little bit overboard. The students who were having their club meeting went out and were all laughing.

"Who is he?" I asked Moko-san

"He owns the estate of this university. He is also a good friend of Tsuruga-san's father," she sighed "Takarada Rori, one of Japan's mightiest billionaire,"

"What's with the grand entrance though?" I asked

"He always does that," she sighed as she closed the door, "you'll get used to it"

"Aren't we going to meet him?"

"Later," she replied while closin the door "he'll have his rounds on every club"

"Was that really necessary?" I asked her

"Which part? The part I shut the door or the part where he had an extravagant entrance?"

"The latter"

Moko-san sighed deeply, "you'll get used to it"

Then Moko-san kept skipping and hopping on the entire room. She did not pick the papers and the books. As a kind friend I just did what any human being would do. I began picking the scattered books one by one—

"HOLD UP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She yelled at me, I froze.

"Ah cleaning?"

"DON'T! I know it look disgusting and filthy and a lot of things but everything has its own order. Don't touch it!"

"Alright" Then I began placing the books exactly where they were placed, the page and even the angle.

"How are you doing that?" She asked suddenly..

"What do you mean?" I asked back

"That!" She pointed the books I placed correctly.

"Um... photographic memory?"

Before Moko-san could even react the door suddenly swung open.

"Kanae-san!" Takarada Rori came inside the room wearing a majestic outfit. "Have you been preparing for the upcoming quizbee?"

" I have, as a matter of fact I have found my partner,"

"Really?" He replied skeptically, then he looked at me. "nice to meet you young one!"

He shook my hand rather forcefully. "Nice to meet you too" I replied shaking his hand forcefully too.his grip became tighter so I also tightened my grip.

"I like you young lady!" He replied with a loud laugh, "are you the new comer who just aced the entrance exam?"

I just nodded.

"I see" he then flipped his cloak. "I shall see you around!"

Then he left the room. Moko-san and I looked at each other. We sighed deeply then laughed hard.
