Chapter 8 – Familiar Faces

"Yay! We're finally here!" Nina cheered enthusiastically. They arrived at the cottage and were pretty amazed. Nina was really hyper and happy. Ayu and Maya just laughed and smiled at her. The boys just watched them.

"What cabin are we in again?" Maya asked as they walked while searching for their cabin to stay in.

"I think we're in Cabin 5," Sonomi said as she searched for the number.

"I think it's at the center of four other cabins," Erika said.

"I found it!' Nina said as she jumped up and down. The girls cheered as well but the guys' sweatdropped with an uneasy smile.

"Okay!" Sonomi said as she caught their attention, she was pointing a finger at only the guys, "You boys will have to carry our luggages and stuff," she declared. They sweatdropped.

"Yeah," Ayu agreed, putting one hand on her hip and putting all her support to her left side with a smirk plastered on her face, "Besides, us girls can't carry all of that and it would be rude if you guys didn't help. If you won't help, well, guess that we'll stop talking with – "

"Got it!" They said immediately and started to carry everything into the cottage.

The girls smiled, "Thanks." Ayu gave Kaji a quick peck in the cheek before running of to the find rooms. Kaji stood, his face burning red. Yuta nudged him in the ribs with a sly look.

"Oi, Kaji, is something goin' on with Ayu?" He asked slyly. Kaji just turned bright red and dropped all the luggage's on him and left.

Tsujiai shook his head, "Learn how to keep your mouth shut, Yuta,"

"TSUJIAI! CAN YOU HELP ME?" asked Nina loudly from one of the bedrooms. There were only 5 rooms. Ayu was staying with Nina and Maya, Sonomi and Erika, Tsujiai and Kaji and Yuta alone.

Tsujiai made his way to her room with his hands in his pockets, "What?"

"Let's go play tennis! Ayu said she was gonna go and play, so I decided, how 'bout all of us! You can help me cause you're the captain of the boys team!" Nina said enthusiastically. She wore a short dark blue skirt and a long tight shirt that covered half of her skirt. Her hair was let down with a small braid. In her hand, was a tennis racket.

"Okay?..."

"Let's go then!" As soon as his hand made contact with her hand, his face heated up red and his bangs covered her eyes. "Ne, Tsujiai, are you sick?" Nina asked as she stood running and tip toed to his level so she could put her hand on his forehead.

"Just…fine," Nina tilted her head to the side with a confused look.

"Okay, if that's what you say. C'mon, they must've been waiting for us." She replied, now calm.

When they arrived at the tennis courts, they already so that Kaji and Ayu were playing together against Maya and Yuta, Sonomi and Erika were in the stands, cheering them on. "Hey, Erika, Sonomi. They started already?"

"Yup. Kaji and Ayu are leading by 4 points," Erika informed, sipping her drink.

They watched as they played. Ayu's hair was tied up in a high ponytail. Kaji and Ayu looked pretty advanced as they played; their face full of concentration and seriousness.

"Tsujiai, can you teach me?" asked Nina.

"….Sure,"

They stood in front of the stands, each of them holding tennis rackets "You do it like this," Tsujiai taught as he swung his racket. When Nina tried, she did it wrong. So Tsujiai had to go behind her.

He put his hands on top of hers and went closer to her while he said softly, "You do it like this." They stayed in that position for a while; lost in their thoughts, until Sonomi and Erika hooted,

"WOOHOO! Romance going on! Score one for Nina! Snap out of it lovebirds! You're catching attention!"

The two blushed hard and quickly pulled apart. Hearing what Erika and Sonomi said, Yuta avert his attention to the scene, laughing aloud. But he didn't pay attention to the ball anymore. He fell to the ground, laughing nervously.

Maya shook her head, "Pay attention to the game, Yuta!"

"Hau…."

"Tsujiai and Nina already had their quick moment, now its Ayu's and Kaji's turn," Sonomi whispered Erika nodded in return.

"Oi! Ayu! Your bra's showing!" Sonomi yelled out, it was a lie, but hey, it's part of the plan. Erika dropped down anime style. Ayu froze in her place, her face and Kaji's heating up. "Kaji! Help her out! You're the closest to her, 'sides, if you don't do that, more guys would be staring, like now," Sonomi said as she put her thumb at the side, where the other guys were staring

"Don't worry! I can do it myself," Ayu said as she put down her tennis racket and arranged her shirt while Kaji was blushing red.

"You pervert," Erika said, her face also blushing.

After the quick game that failed, Ayu and Kaji resumed the game. They were very skillful, while Yuta and Maya were fighting. When one ball was going towards Ayu they both bumped into each other and fell to the ground. It turned quiet until Yuta laughed while Maya shushed him and tied him up.

Kaji was laying on top of Ayu. Ayu's eyes were shut tight before slowly opening them.

"Think he saw her bra?" Yuta whispered, Maya had an anime vein and kicked the hardest she can wherever she could.

"Yo people. Get up already. Or are you already prepared for it?" Tsujiai said as the girls giggled and were about leave.

They quickly got off each other, but Kaji gave a quick kiss in the lips to Ayu, unnoticed by the others. Ayu felt herself turn red.

"Oi! Let's go for a swim already! Pretty hot and sweaty after the game," Yuta said, wiping off a sweat.

"Let's go Ayu!" the girls said as they raced each other to the cabin.

'Omigoodness! Kaji kissed me! He stole my first kiss?' Ayu thought, while changing. She was feeling both happy and frustrated, 'How dare he do that!' She thought, remembering the quick moment, 'But…it was pretty nice. But still!'

"Ayu! Ya ready?" Nina asked appearing in front of the door. She wore a two piece with the color of orange. Her hair was let down. A towel was wrapped around her shoulder.

"Sonomi and Erika and Maya went ahead with the guys," Nina informed. Ayu nodded.

"Whoa! Wearing a sexy red two piece? Who are you trying to seduce?" Nina tease with a laugh, earning a pillow in front of her face. Ayu's eyes were closed with her face red.

"C'mon Nina. They must be tired waiting already,"

"Hai!"

When they reached the pool area, they were pretty surprised. Only a few people were there and the pool was large. Sonomi and Erika were sunbathing in the sun while Yuta pushed Maya to the pool. The two walked over and looked around.

"Where's Kaji?"

"And Tsujiai?"

"Watch out Ayu! Nina! There behind you!" Erika warned, but it was too late. Like before in Ayu's apartment, the two pushed the girls inside the cold pool.

"SO COLD!"

"Kaji you are so gonna die!" Ayu said, lifting herself up from the pool, shivering. That's when he noticed he was red. "Are you sick?"

"…N-no,"

"Cool swimsuit Ayu," Sonomi commented, her sun glasses following down her nose.

'Oh, so that's it,' Ayu thought, looking at her swimsuit and looked back at Kaji. She smirked.

"Kaji?"

"Hmm?"

Ayu grabbed his hands, catching his attention. "Let's go around the pool for a walk. Don't wanna go back home and changed,"

"S-s-sure,"

When they were walking, she 'accidentally' fell into the pool, pulling Kaji on top of her inside the pool. Ayu was giggling.

Nina on the other one was trying to chase Tsujiai while throwing her things to him.

"I said I'm sorry!"

"You have no idea how cold it was!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, here I'll give you a push!" Nina said and she did, but Tsujiai grabbed her ankles, letting her slip in as well.

When she rose again, someone grabbed her ankles and pulled her down, underwater, she saw it was Tsujiai. She watched as he rose up.

"How dare you do that!"

"You pushed me in!"

"You started it first!"

4 Hours later

It was getting dark and they retreated back to the cottage. All of them were in the small living, laying on the couch or leaning on the counter.

"Anyone a good cook?" Maya asked.

"I am!" Yuta said.

"Oh yeah? Ya sure?" Maya asked, unsure.

"Here we go again," Erika said and sighed.

Soon after, food were being thrown everywhere. The girls were screaming in frustration while the guys were chuckling and throwing more.

The girls were on one side while the boys were on the other.

"Take this!"

"Ew! I hate veggies!" Yuta said, spitting out the vegteble.

"Your wasting food!" Maya scolded.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah,"

"Oh yeah?

"Yeah!"

"Oh yeah!"

"SHUT UP! YOU'RE GONNA CLEAN UP THIS MESS!" The girls said in unison.

When Ayu and Nina were alone in there room, they find a note. They went towards it and read

Meet us at the lake at 8. Only Ayu and Nina. You'll be surprised.

R + S

"Who is it from?"

"Don't know Nina." There was a pause when they reread the letter and their eyes widened.

'Riko'

'Sako.'

Then there was a scream, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Tsujiai and Kaji quickly went inside the room, with worried faces. They saw Ayu and Nina on the corners, hugging themselves. Their faces were scared and were shocked.

They made their ways towards them and pulled them in a hug.

"What's wrong?"

"….."

"Nina?"

Maya and Yuta watched sadly before going to their rooms.

pm – Lake

For a reason, Kaji and Tsujiai couldn't sleep. They were still worried. The girls didn't eat or talk. They just kept quiet. They heard rustling around. Carefully, they looked out the window and saw Nina and Ayu enter the forest and towards the lake.

"Oi, Kaji. Let's follow them,"

"Let's be quiet not to wake the others,"

But Maya and Yuta were already awake and were hiding somewhere in the lake, waiting.

Ayu and Nina were getting nervous. When they saw two figures, they froze.

"Riko?"

"Sako?"

The twins smirked, "Nice to see you again. Too bad you guys transferred," Riko said, going towards Ayu. She scoffed as she felt Riko hug her.

"Nina, still the cute girl you are," Sako said politely. Nina returned a weak smile. Ayu's and Riko's relationship was bad, but hers and Sako was good, but they hid it so Ayu wouldn't feel bad, but Nina fell in love with Tsujiai.

"How'd you get here and why're you here?" Ayu asked directly.

"Can't we see our ex's after how many months?" Riko said innocently.

"We're planning to come to your school so we'll be together again." Riko said again.

"How about the slut you were dating?" Ayu glared hard.

"That's no way to treat me," Riko said, holding her shoulders tight while glaring hard. Ayu felt weak.

"Sorry,"

"Riko! Let go of here!" his twin said.

Riko was about to slap Ayu, but was caught and was punched.

"KAJI!"

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Kaji screamed as he went in front of her and glared at Riko.
