As always, thank you so much for the reviews! \(^o^)/

As for the question in one of the reviews,

"When will they meet Shade's family?"

Ahahahahaha. Hmm... Let's just say, you'll know it soon enough. ;D

Oh yeah, thanks for the recommendation by the way, I'll definitely look it up. :D

Anyway, thanks for waiting.

Here we go (n_n)

Chapter 7: Combined Classes

*Shade's P.O.V.*

"Hey Shade, what do you think of those two?" Bright asked as he rode a horse.

"I think, they're pretty interesting." I answered without thinking much on to it.

"How about Rein?"

Personally, I was surprised by this question. What I think about Rein? Why was he asking such question? I wondered but I just ignored it.

"You can't even answer that, huh?" I heard Bright mumbled.

I turned around to face him and answered his question.

"She's quite something and fun to have (to tease) around." I said and added "...And she's pretty amusing at times." I said as a small grin unconsciously appeared in my face when I remembered her expressions.

"Hmm... Is that all?" Bright responded as he passed by me.

"Why the sudden question anyway?" I asked.

"Nothing much." He said and returned to the field to guide Fine.

*Third Person P.O.V.*

-Two days later-

Tuesday. PE Class between Class A and S.

"KYAAA!" Class A girls cheered as the ball thrown by Bright went in the basket.

"Noisy as usual." Lione commented watching at the sidelines with Mirlo, Fine, and Rein.

"Well, what can we do? Those two are really popular." Mirlo said as she turned to Lione.

"Yeah." Lione's head dropped and added "Anyway, how did it go? You already knew right? About Bright and Shade?" as she turned towards the twin.

"Well, Bright showed us around his house, we also ate snacks and drank tea, we also got to pet the horses and, oh, I rode one too." Fine answered as she recalled what happened.

"We also got to meet Bright's sister, Altezza." Rein added.

"Yeah, she even looked at us from head to toe and asked too many questions." Fine said and sighed.

" That's so like her." Lione laughed a bit.

"KYAAA!"

"Another one?" Lione said as she looked at the cheering girls and then turned to the basketball court to see who scored "Oh, it's Shade this time." She said.

The teacher blew the whistle to stop the game. Class S' boys scored 42 while the Class A's boys scored 26. Dripping with sweat, the girls flocked over to Bright and Shade offering them towels and bottled water. Bright smiled and took some while Shade ignored them and sat to where Mirlo, Lione, Fine and Rein was sitting. Bright followed Shade afterwards.

"Okay, volleyball for the girls next." The teacher said and randomly picked 10 girls from Class S and A to play.

Fine and Lione was among those who were picked to play and also a starter player. Mirlo and Rein, on the other hand, wasn't picked to play so they just stayed at where they're at. Fine started stretching before they could start.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Fine said enthusiastically as she caught the ball their teacher passed to her.

Fine served the ball and the rally began.

"Fine's really good at this too, huh." Bright said as they watched the game.

"Yeah. She's really good at all kind of sports." Rein said as she turned to Bright.

"How about you?" Shade commented as he turned to Rein with his left hand on his chin.

"!" Rein wasn't able to say anything but only reacted as her face and Shade's were quite close.

Rein blushed by this and turned away before responding.

"Well, not as good as Fine, but I still can do it if I tried." Rein said as the volume of her voice gradually decreased to every word of her sentence, still blushing.

"Eh. Is that so?" Shade responded as he chuckled a bit.

When Rein heard Shade chuckle, she immediately turned to him while Shade stopped and turned to the game. Rein looked at Shade in an annoyed way then turned back to the game. Shade took a little peek at Rein and smiled a bit. After a while, the teacher blew the whistle stating the end of the game. Class S' girls won the second game while Class A's girls won the first and third. The third game was pretty close scoring 19-21.

"Good game." Fine said at Lione as she approached and smiled at her.

"Yeah." Lione responded as she smiled back at Fine.

Fine and Lione went back to where the four were after that. Rein and Mirlo handed them towels and drinks.

"You're both great out there." Bright said as he stood up.

"Thank you!" Fine smiled at him, to which he blushed a bit, and added "You were great awhile ago too!"

"Thanks. But it's not like I was out there for too long." Lione said as she placed her hands on her back.

"That's alright. You still did your best." Bright smiled at Lione.

"Bright's really good at using words with the girls, huh." Fine thought as she rub off the sweat in her face.

*Fine's P.O.V.*

After P.E. Class we've changed into our school uniforms and headed to our respective class. Bright, Mirlo, and I were in music, while Rein, Shade, and Lione were in art. I was seated in front of Bright by the back while Mirlo was seated in front of the teacher's table. As our teacher arrived and fixed her things, she announced something.

"Like the first class, you'll also going to work on a project, by pair. Class S should partner up with Class A to be fair." The teacher said.

"Class A and S?!" The girls exclaimed.

"Bright-sama, please be my partner!" a girl asked Bright as she approached Bright's seat.

"Bright-sama, pick me instead of her, I'm a better partner." another girl said.

"Bright-sama, don't choose her, choose me." another girl came.

"Bright-sama! Bright-sama!" The girls swarmed at Bright.

"Not this again." I heard the teacher talked to herself and yelled "Bright! Pick your partner now!"

"Then, I'll pick Fine." Bright announced to the whole class which made me look at him.

"WHAT?!" We all exclaimed.

"Hush! Now get back to your seats." The teacher said.

As I felt like though I was being stabbed by the stares of the girls in my class.

"Why me?" I asked Bright as soon as the girls left.

"Well, you're the only girl in Class A who's not fawning over me." Bright answered as he flashed me a smile.

*Bright's P.O.V.*

"Besides, you're different from them..." I thought to myself as I looked at Fine who turned her back on me.

"Okay, now that you've decided who your partner will be. What you're going to do is a music video." The teacher said and added "The genre is friendship for those who are the same gender as their partner and love for those who aren't. No changing of partners now."

"Love, huh..." I thought as I placed my right hand under my chin.

"Sensei!" a student raised her hand.

"Yes?" The teacher responded.

"Can we ask for help from the other teams?" the student asked.

"Yes. you could. I don't see any problems with that." The teacher answered and added "Alright. You could decide on what to do for the rest of the class."

Fine turned around and faced me.

"So, do you have any idea on what we should do?" She asked.

"I might have an idea or two." I responded.

*Rein's P.O.V.*

It's been a while, but I felt that the glaring hasn't stopped.

"Why is it, that even in art class we sit next to each other?" I thought as I continued drawing silently.

"Hey Rein." Lione called out.

"Yeah?" I responded as I put down my sketch pad to turn to her.

"Do you think we could go outside for a better view of what we sketch?" Lione asked as she smiled forcefully.

"Yeah, the teacher said that we could if we want to." I answered and added "Let's go?" as I fixed my things.

"Yeah!" Lione nodded and fixed her things as well.

"Good thing that I'll be free from all the glaring of the girls from my class." I thought.

"I'm coming with you too." Shade suddenly said as he closed his sketch pad.

"Sure." Lione said and headed towards the door and signaled us to hurry up.

"Let's go." Shade said as he stood up and looked at me.

"Yeah." I said as I stood up.

Shade walked ahead of me and I followed them from behind. As we got to the garden, Lione went in front of the fountain and sat to where she could clearly see it. Shade, on the other hand, sat by the bench and continued drawing there.

"I don't think he even need to go out to draw." I thought as I looked at his way. "Wait. Why am I even concerned about him? I should focus on my drawing." I thought as I frantically opened my sketchpad and continued to where I left off.

As we finished drawing, the three of us went back. Lione was at the front and we're following her lead. As we walked through the hallway, I caught a sight of an envelope slipping from Shade's sketchpad. Before I could warn him, it already fell, to which he hadn't noticed. As I picked it up, Shade seemed to notice that I stopped walking and approached me. As he seemed to notice what I was holding, his eyes widen and immediately took the envelope from my hand. He didn't say anything but turned his back on me.

"What is with that envelope?" I wondered as I stood there in silence as well.

Aaaaand. Let's end it here for now.

Curious with what's in the envelope?
How about the project for the music class?

(They have the same project by the way ;D)

Anyway, I hope you like it! :D

As always, reviews are greatly appreciated. (^_^)

I'll upload the next chapter next week. :)
