Kaori giggled rolling around on her bed as she was in a group call with her female friends. "So Haru-chan has already found her next target" Kaori giggled to her friend

"No I just..."

"You like Kusama, right Haru-chan? I say go for it!" Hikari giggled to her friend

"Kari-chan! you're so mean! He doesn't even like me that way!" Haruka protested

"Are you kidding me?" all the girls shouted at Haruka

"What? he has a crush on someone already" Haruka whined

"Yea, girls, I've seen it! Her name is Usami Haruka from class 1-A, she's really pretty, he flirts with her all the time" Hikari giggled

"Knock it off~!" Haruka whined.

"I say try and seduce him so then he's either forced to admit it or falls for you anyway" Kaori stated matter of factly. "That's what I did with Ichiru and now look at us"

"I don't have as much confidence as you Kaori"

"Kaori has cunning, she tricked him, do it my way, I got Takumi but using my honest feelings just like my mum did"

"'Kay whatever. Guys are different I guess" Kaori giggled

"Okay I'll just tell him my feelings. whaaa wish me luck tomorrow"

"Good Luck Haru-chan!" the girls all shouted Haruka signed off grumbling about how loud they were. "Girls I gotta go too, it's mum birthday"

"Wasn't your dad's a couple of days ago"

"I know its adorable right? Bye girls" Kaori signed off as well putting her phone on the bedside table before rolling off her bed and got changed out of her uniform. She changed into a nice silk blue blouse with a nice pair of white jeans and slipped on her favorite blue flats and left her room. Her father was there to greet her

"You look nice Ri-chan" Zen smiled at his daughter.

"Thanks dad" It wasn't long until her mother emerged as well she was wearing black jeans and a white blouse with a cropped leather jacket over top "Happy Birthday Mum!" Kaori cried happily running over to her mother hugging her tightly

Takafumi's eyes shone warmly at the teen "Thank you, darling" Takafumi pressed a kiss to her daughter's head

"Will Miyagi be joining us?" Zen asked sulkily

"Dad" Kaori whined

"Zen be nice. He's a good boy" Takafumi chided.

"Not good enough for me little girl" He pouted like a child.

"I thought you had finished this faze with Hiyori" Takafumi growled

"My girls deserve the best" Zen argued with a smile

"And don't you think my dad thinks the same" Takafumi pointed out raising an eyebrow at him

"Babe I am the best for you" Zen winked flirtatiously. Takafumi rolled his eyes

"Hypocrite" Takafumi muttered.

Kaori however got detracted by a text

And with that they were out the door. Kaori smiling the entire time.

Kirishima Kei Kaori

The next day Kaori yawned as her, Haruka, Ichiru, Raiden, Matsuo and Hikari were all grouped together around Haruka as she peeked around the corner to see Hitoshi speaking with one of the girls of class B. "I can't, I can't, I can't" Haruka whimpered as she ducked back around the corner

"What? You were so pumped to do it before!" Matsuo cried making Haruka shush her.

"You can do it!" Kaori added

Haruka shook her head and walked of "I can't, I just can't"

All the girls groaned whereas the two boys just looked confused "What can't she do?" Raiden asked

"Confess to Kusama" Matsuo answered and both boys swore then Raiden huffed and walked towards Hitoshi Ichiru in tow

"Oi Kusama" Raiden called. He could hear Matsuo hissing at him behind them. "I think you should go talk to Haruka" Raiden suggested

Raiden heared more hisses from Matsuo "Is something wrong with her?" Hitoshi asked and his friends both shrugged

"She was acting strange, kept muttering and stuff" Ichiru said. Hitoshi's eyes widened and he turned to the girl he had been talking to

"Sorry" Hitoshi said and he was off. Raiden and Ichiru turned and walked back to the group.

"And that's how you do it" The boys said in unison as they bumped fists. All the girls looked at each other. Kaori walked over to her boyfriend and hugged him.

"Let's hope it works" Kaori whispered

"I bet you 20 yen that she will chicken out again" Matsuo bet

"You're on" Hikari challanged

"I bet 20 yen that Hitoshi does it first" Raiden added

"I be 20 neither will confess" Ichiru stated holding his hand out to every one. Everyone nodded and shook hands with each other

"If they end up together we gotta celebrate. I've been waiting forever" Kaori groaned

"You aren't the only one Kaori" Matsuo huffed
