Chapter 29

'One day you will realize who is true will be on your side, even when you least deserve it.'


On Monday a little after school, every one of the Class 1 -A was in the classroom. They had to decide what they would do during the cultural festival that would happen in a few days. So Kotegawa asked everyone to stay in their seats so they can decide what they would do. "Well, today I would like to discuss with you about the possible themes of the cultural festival that is going to be held by the school in a few days." Yui who had just written on the board 'cultural festival' said.

"Cultural Festival?" Lala asked surprised.

"It's a school activity for the public organized by the students." Peke explained.

"Sounds like fun, right Rito?" She asked excited for the boy sitting in front of her.

"Yeah ..." He answered vaguely as he looked at the window.

Lala frowned slightly as Kotegawa keep talking and writing on the blackboard.

"The festival is no joke, is a part of your academics. As to the theme our A class will put out. After thinking long and hard I got two options: Calligraphy exhibition and performance or discuss about the city's expansion in rural areas. I plan to choose one of these options. So what do you all think?"

"Eeeeeeeeeh?" All students said upsets and not believing what she proposed.

Yui was surprised by everyone's reaction, she was sure that everyone would like the idea.

"Hey, Kotegawa-san, can we give our opinion?" Risa asked raising her hand.

"Eh? Of course that's why I chose two options..." Said Kotegawa but was interrupted.

"Not with this." Risa said interrupting her. "What I meant is that there are other things we can do besides these things that you alone chose. Am I not right, guys?"

The students begin to talk to each other with ideas of what to do in the festival.

"And by any chance do you have any suggestions?" The head of the school disciplinary committee asked crossing her arms.

"Well…" The blonde girl tried to answer while scratching the neck. "I was thinking… how about we do a disco?"

All were silent looking at Risa with an indignant expression.

'A disco?' Yui thought still not believing what she just said. 'What an absurd idea. I bet everyone will agr-'

"What a cool idea." Someone said very excited.

"That's cool if it works will be the most different idea from this year." One girl shouted.

"We can arrange a kouyasai then!" One of the boys pointed out.

Suddenly everyone was thrilled with the idea, giving suggestions, talking with a friend and Kotegawa saw everything still shocked. Risa seeing that his idea was being accepted by all, decided to act. She walks up to the board. "Since we all agree, now we need a theme." Said Risa calling everyone's attention.

Everyone started to suggest ideas, Kotegawa seeing that she had no more space there, goes to the her desk crestfallen, Lala pokes Rito's shoulder calling his attention. "Hey, Rito, is not it nice to see all the class excited with the idea of Risa? I think her idea is very fun, do not you think?"

"Yeah, sure." He said returning his eyes to the window.

Lala folded the arms, upset with the attitude of the boy. Meanwhile the other students kept giving ideas. To prevent any disaster in the classroom, Risa asked one by one which theme should be chosen. Several ideas have emerged as animals, food, movie, police and even dragon ball... And so finally it was Lala's turn.

"So Lala-chi what is your suggestion?"

"What if the theme is space and aliens?" Lala said cheerfully.

Rito widened his eyes and looked back. 'What is she thinking?' Rito thought still surprised by her choice.

"Great idea." Risa said. "I like it!"

And she was not the only one that liked, many people liked too and so after everyone has voted, the space theme has been chosen.

"Now that we have chosen what we will do, I think it'd be better everyone go home and think on ideas. Tomorrow I hope everyone brings great ideas. And also we need to see who wants to be part of the organizing committee. Until then ... Everyone ganbatte kudasai."

And after this speech everyone stands and claps for Risa who blushed slightly. Everyone, or rather nearly everyone, left the school excited, talking about the festival and ideas with friends. A little later Rito and Lala were also heading to home. "I'm so glad they chose my idea... I think I will apply myself to the committee. What do you think?" She asked already having ideas for the festival.

"Do whatever you want..." he answered vaguely again.

Lala gets angry and confronts him looking into his eyes.

"Rito... Is everything okay?" Lala asked putting the hands on the hips.

"W-why do you ask?" He answered a little flushed and flustered. "Of course I am."

"Are you sure?" She asked with a face of concern. "Since that day I came back from the amusement park it seems to me that you are trying to avoid me."

"I said I'm fine, Lala. No need to worry about me." He said leaving the front of her and kept walking.

"How rude. You should be grateful that the Lala-sama cares about you." Peke shouted nervous with him.

"Whatever." He said not bothering to turn around.

Lala sighs seeing that he will not talk to her, she decides to talk to Peke. After another 10 minutes of walking they finally arrive at home. "Tadaima, Mikan."

"Hey what took you so long at arriving home?" - Mikan pointed. "Did something happen?"

"Today we had to choose what we will do at the school festival." Rito answered.

"Really?" The mini-chef asked. "And what will you do?"

"We are going to make a disco and best part of this is that theme is space." Lala said cheerfully. "And I suggested the theme."

Mikan raised an eyebrow. "Lala ... But do not you think you can be discovered with this theme?

Lala's eyes widened. "I had not thought of that. In that moment I forgot I was an alien." She said putting her tongue out, scratching the back of her head and making an innocent face.

The two were flabbergasted and stumbled backwards onto their feet, their legas raised comically to sky. Rito got up still not believing that she was so dense some times. "Well, I'll take a shower now."

Rito climbed the stairs toward the bathroom, when Lala was sure he was already in the bath she went to the kitchen to talk to the sister of the boy. "Hey Mikan can I ask something?" Lala asked.

"Huh? Of course... what would it be?" The brunette asked while cutting vegetables

"Do you know if something happened to Rito?" Lala asked looking upset.

"Not that I know." Mikan stopped cutting to pay attention on Lala. "Why? Did something happen between you two?"

"Is just that since I came back from that meeting with Saruyama he has been acted weird with me and he has responded vaguely when I ask him something and it seems like when I get near to him, he evades or attempts to get away from me." Lala pointed.

'Since the date?' Mikan thought putting the index finger and the thumb on the chin. 'Rito has not told me what happened at the date in which he spied on... Is he jealous and so is acting weird?'

Mikan begins to smirk and Lala did not understand why she was smirking.


Meanwhile Rito was showering, while drops of hot water streamed down his face, he thought about his behavior with Lala. Lala ... I'm sorry. I know I've been acting strange to you ... But I cannot stop thinking about the dare of that stupid haunted road... I know it's a stupid joke but always when I look at you I remember that.'

Rito sighs and turns off the shower. He wipes with towel and then put it around the waist. He leaves the bathroom and goes to his room. "What a great bat- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ." Rito shouted surprised by what he saw in bed.

"Hi Rito." Said Lala who was sitting on his bed.

"Lala, what are you doing here?" He asked with red cheeks.

"I've come to talk with you." She said innocently and then starts stare at him which makes him blush even more.

"Lala, w-what are you looking?" He asked felling uncomfortable.

"Oh sorry." She said sheepishly. "Is that I had never realized that you have a fit body."

And Rito did really had a really well structured body, despite not even come close to being like a bodybuilder but was well shaped. After all, years of boxing training and weight training made him to stay in shape.

"Stop staring at me like that is embarrassing." He said putting his hands on the chest to cover himself "Can I put some clothes first before we talk?"

"Sure, no problem." She replied. And one minute passed Lala hasn't moved an inch. Rito sighed seeing that Lala had not understood that he wanted her to leave the room for him to change.

"Lala ... Could you please leave my room so I can put some clothes?" Said the boy who was still covering his chest.

"Oh right." She said getting up from the bed and leaving the room.

After a few minutes, Lala returned to the boy's room and Rito was already dressed.

"Lala ... What do you want?" Rito asked closing the door.

"Rito... What happened? Please, you have to tell me." She asked sitting on the bed.

Rito doesn't respond and instead starts to stare at the corner of his room.

"By chance did I something wrong when I went out to the park with Saruyama that upset you?" She asked looking for answer.

"It has nothing to do with you and Saruyama, Lala. Do not worry, I'm fine, okay?" He answered without even looking at her.

"Rito... I'm sorry if I offended you somehow. You know that I care about you and trust ... But I don't feel the same from you." She said with a very sad face. "You are hiding something from me and you are treating me differently. Please trust me as I trust in you."

Rito looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes. He saw that he had to to tell her, but he decided to keep the part that he was still spying her in secret for now. "(Sigh) Alright… I'll tell you, Lala... I heard you went to the haunted trail , is it true?"

- Yes, it's true." She answered. "It was very fun. It was really cool to scare people and see people using make outs. The only problem is that one of my inventions exploded, thankfully David kinda knew it was going to explode and got us out of there before it could hurt us. But what does this have to do with our problem?"

"... By chance you've finished the trail with someone?" Rito asked already knowing the answer.

"Yeah I ended with David... Is that the problem?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well they say... whichever pair makes it the goal will surely become a couple, you know that?" Rito pointed.

At first didn't understand what was the big deal but then after a few minutes of reflection she snapped the fingers "Ah I get it what is your concern." She said now more relieved now that she understood what was wrong with him. "You're worried about me that I might end up marrying a stranger or something... Rito, I would not worry too much about this kind of dares."

"Yeah? Why?" He asked curious raising an eyebrow.

"Because I don't believe in this kind of thing and besides… Is not a game that will decides who will become a couple but us! So if we don't want it won't happen." Lala said confident.

Rito's eyes widened who would that the girl who sometimes was so airhead could say something so smart. "Yeah, you're right even though I don't really believe in this kind of thing I feel more relieved after what you said."

"See? If you had trusted me before and told me before we have solved this before." She said getting up from the bed.

"Yeah you're right... I'm sorry Lala." He spoke scratching his neck feeling somewhat embarrassed for thinking that she was dense.

"No problem."

Lala walks up to him and hugs him. Rito began to blush and before he can ask what she was doing she released him.

"I'm glad that we're good now. Now, if you need me I going to my room to prepare somethings for tomorrow."

She left the room the boy with orange hair with his thoughts. He felt much better after talking to Lala. She was right whatever fate had reserved for them, they would decide and not a damn trail was going to. With the lighter head he went to do the things he needed to do like homework, taking care of the plants, take care of Sakura and among other things. But still felt sorry for thinking that Lala was stupid… he released that she wasn't stupid just innocent.


In the following day during the lunch break, Risa took this time to see who wanted to be part of the organizing committee. "OK guys I need your the attention for this... I need to know who will want to be part of the organizing committee. I need at least 3 people. Is there anyone who wants to be?"

Lala then immediately raised her hand. Seeing that Lala raised her hand, Ren also raised the hand, he thought that he could use this chance to show Lala that he was a real man. Now there was only one spot left, Risa was sure that Yui would raise the hand, knowing her personality. But to her surprise she did not raised and the more amazing it looked like she was daydreaming. No one ever saw her daydreaming as well. The last spot was filled by Mio who decided to help her friend and would like to help to plan the costumes.

"Well... Alright everyone who thought in an idea for the festival, please write on a paper and handed to someone from the committee."

After the statement, everyone took a sheet of notebook paper and started writing. Rito, who didn't have an idea to the festival, left the room and went to the terrace, as he went to the terrace, he watched the other rooms by the windows. All were working and working hard for the festival. He always thought the coolest of these festivals was the fact that everyone worked together and hoping that in the end everything worked out… He also wanted to keep that spirit for the rest of the year not only during the festival.


Later that day after class time, all the students had left the school except 4 students who were part of the organizing committee of the Class 1 -A.

"I better start discussing our biggest problem." Risa said for the other 3.

"And what would it be Risa-chan?" Mio asked with a concerned look.

"I think our class is too small to make a disco." Risa pointed. "If only we had some way of increasing the size of this class..."

"I think I can do something Risa-chan." Said Lala happily raising her hand making everyone look at her. "I'll use something that I also used in my lab that will increase the size of the class."

The two earthlings were left gaping as Ren smiled to Lala. "As usual Lala-sama always manages to save the day."

Risa hugged Lala, happy that she could solve the problem. "Thank you Lala. I not really sure how you get all these inventions but I trust that everything will be ok."

"You got it, Risa-chan!" Lala said making an OK sign.

"Good! Next topic: music." Risa said releasing Lala from the hug. "One of the boys said he will bring several speakers, amplifiers, and other things from his father. The songs that will play the Mio-chan is in charge. Everyone agrees?"

"Hey, Momioka-san I think I can get a band to play too." Ren said while standing with hand raised.

"Great if you get will be very cool." Momioka said.

"About the clothes I have an idea for girls and for boys." Mio pointed.

"Oh please, tell me your idea, Mio-chan." Lala pleaded to know.

"Oh no, Lala-chi we want that the costumes to be a surprise, right, Risa?" The girl with glassed said winking to the blond girl.

"I think she is right, Lala-chi. You will have to wait?" Risa said wanting to make a surprise to everyone.

"Ah… Please?" Lala asked making a puppy face that she learned from Sakura.

Risa and Mio started to laugh because of that face, not because it was idiot face but because it was a cute face. And so in a lively and very productive pace it was established by the commission what they were going to do and how they were going to do.

After two hours of discussion, the committee thought it best to wind up the debate for today. Tomorrow they will solve with the class the necessary material for the festival, take everyone measures (which Mio and Risa were eager to do) talk to everyone if they approve the ideas chosen by the committee and among other things.

"It seems that everything is moving well." Lala said while stretching a bit while heading for the exit of the school. "I'm little bit exhausted with this committee thing. I also never saw Risa-chan so determined in something… In a few days it will be so much in the festival. Hihihi."

Lala left of the school building and headed for the door when she saw something that surprised her.

"R- Rito?" She said confused and surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I really cannot say for sure why I'm still here..." he answered. "I unknowingly ended up staying here waiting for you."

"Were you waiting for me?" She said surprise because she never expected that from him.

"... You can say that." He said glancing over avoiding looking into her eyes. "I think it's the least I can do after the way I treated you the past few days..."

"Oh you're so cute when you do things like that!" Lala said hugging him.

"OK you better let me go before I change my mind." He said trying to free himself. "Now come on!"

"I'm super excited about the festival." Lala said while they returning to home. "I'll be responsible for increasing the size of the class and put special effects in class I will make sure that class looks like a real space."

"If you can do all that, our class will be phenomenal." Rito said in his usual tone. "But be careful or you'll end up revealing your identity."

"Oh yeah, don't worry I will try to be more careful." Lala said even though nobody ever had asked about how she managed to make all those inventions.

"Well ... I'm glad you're enjoying in being part of the organizing committee." He said getting a little flushed.

She says nothing and just smiled at him But it was not all joy for everyone, someone who was disguised and following them, hearing all their conversation. This person smiles after hearing what they said and that she got the information she wanted. She decides to not follow them anymore and goes to a different direction.

This person goes to a huge house protected by security and everything but just enters by the front door with no problem. She enters the house and goes straight to a room where there was a person sitting in the middle, one person of standing by her and there was a blackboard with a lot of things written. She greets the two other people who were already in the room. "Saki-sama I bring good news."

Saki simply smiled at the news. "Excellent."
