"So, what's up?"
"I uhm just wanted too.." Umi couldn't finish her sentence.
"How my date with Honoka went?"
"Yes, I am sorry, I shouldn't have called. It's none of my business."
"It's okay, and it is your business Umi-chan. It was fine, all we did was hang out in the mall looking for ideas for designs." Kotori replied smiling.
"Oh that's is nice. I hope you had fun."
"Umi-chan, why did you really call?"
"I, I was just curious. I am sorry..." Umi hung up.
Maybe Honoka was right after all.

The following day all Kotori wanted to do is talk to Umi and ask what is going on, she wasn't used to Umi just hanging up on her, especially since she called her asking about the date.
She was earlier then usual waiting for Umi and Honoka at their usual spot before heading to school.
In the distance she saw Honoka slowly walking towards her.
"Good morning Kotori-chan."
"Morning Honoka, uhm, where is Umi?"
"Oh she e-mailed me before, she said she isn't feeling to well."
"Oh okay, well then lets go." Kotori replied.
Not feeling well? Hmm, she seemed fine last night, I wonder what's going on.

Nozomi was standing outside the student council room, she was wondering if she should go in. After the events from yesterday she was nervous. She didn't know what to do.
Why did I just walk away after that moment we had? I must have hurt Elicchis feelings for sure.
She finally managed to open the door, Eri was sitting behind the desk and working on some papers.
"Hey Nozomi." Eris face lit up when she saw Nozomi entered.
She got up and walked passed Nozomi and closed the door. She turned and smiled at her.
"About yesterday, me leaving like that..."
Eri took Nozomis hands and looked her straight in the eyes.
"I get it, it was overwehlming, but you are here now." She moved closer to Nozomi and kissed her on the lips.
It didn't take long for Nozomi to ease into the kiss, it seemed like all her worries where gone.
They shared a special moment, Eri pulled away and moved back to the desk.
"I really have to get this done, because after school I want to spend more time with you, and talk."
Nozomi smiled and sat next to her, taking some papers and helping.

Maki was on the roof practising her smile since no one else was there, and no idol can just not smile.
She didn't realise the door opened at one point and Nico was just standing there watching her.
"You don't have to force yourself, as long as you smile at me." Nico said playfully.
"Ahhhh what are you doing here, you scared me half to death." Maki said embaressed that she has been caught.
"Sorry, I just wanted to watch you a little longer. Oh also, I think Nozomi and Eri figured it out, I saw them in the student council room before kissing."
"Well that's good, finally." Maki replied with a smile, she was happy for them.
"Now I just hope your classmate doesn't come inbetween, because if she does, I'll have to punish you." Nico walked towards Maki and gently touched her cheek.
Maki blushed and turned away.
"Well hopefully nothing will happen then." Maki turned around trying to hide her face.
Although I wouldn't mind punishment at all.

The day went really slow for Kotori, all she wanted to do is go over to Umis and talk to her, she has too many questions about that phone call.
"Kotori-chan, do you want to go to Umis?" Honoka asked after the last bell rang.
"I do, but uhm, you should go, I am sure she would be happy to see you."
"Hmm if you say so, but you should come to." Honoka didn't wait for a reply, she grabbed Kotoris arm and dragged her towards the school gate.
They arrived at Umis pretty quick, no words were exchanged Kotori was too worried that Honoka was with her.
Honoka rang the doorbell, turned to Kotori, gave her a quick smile and ran off.
Kotori just stood there confused at what just happend. She didn't have enough time to get her thoughts together because the door opened quickly.
Umi stood there looking at Kotori.
"What are you doing here?" Umi asked avoiding Kotoris eyes.
"Hey Umi-chan, I just wanted to see how you are doing, Honoka told me you didn't feel too great."
"I am better now, don't worry. Thank you for stopping by." Umi was about to close the door when Kotori hugged Umi.
"Why did you call me last night? Please be honest." Kotori asked still holding on thight to Umi.
"I just wanted to know how it was..."
"I don't believe you, you could have just called Honoka."
"I was just curious." Umi pushed Kotori away.
"Now please leave."
Kotori looked at her not knowing what to say.
Once again Umi was about to close the door, when her mother stood behind her.
"Oh hello Kotori-chan, would you like to have dinner with us?"
This was the perfect opportunity for Kotori to get more time with Umi and hopefully find out more. She nodded and walked inside. Umi couldn't stop her anymore.
After the delicious dinner, Umis mother told both of them to go to Umis room to talk about what her daughter missed at school today.
Umi couldn't refuse and walked towards her room, with Kotori right behind her.
Once Kotori entered she closed the door and was inches away from Umi.
"Now, tell me why you really called."
Umi didn't say a word, she looked at the floor and turned around.
Kotori threw her arms around her and held her. Umi wasn't protesting, it felt like that night at Makis.
"Were you jealous?" Kotori finally asked. She could feel Umi tensing up.
"Of course not." Eventhough Umi said that, she leaned closer into the hug.
Kotori pulled her closer, she adjusted herself a little and touched Umis cheek. With a slow motion she moved Umis face to the side. They were so close they could feel each others breaths.
Umi was the first to move even closer, she brushed her lips against Kotoris, catching her off guard.
"Umi-chan?"
