"A dance club?" Mai said, looking at Saki.
"Like the place with the loud music? and the sexual dancing?" Chisato asked, before a slight smirk appeared.
"no! not that type of dance club!" Maimi said, as she turned towards Chisato.
"Yes! its a club that we can all learn dances and stuff and, ummm, we can hold school dance competitions maybe and its just overall dancing!" Saki then said smiling.
"Have the school approved of this?" Airi asked, tapping the desk.
"yes! I said a request on Saturday, it got approved this morning, I went and checked as soon as I got into school!" Saki said happily.
"cool idea!" Mai said smiling "lets do our best!"
"I also gave us a group name!" Saki said, before picking out a piece of paper and showing it to the group, the paper had the name "°C-ute" on it as a colourful logo "I chose the group name C-ute!"
"what's with the Celsius symbol there" Airi asked, confused.
"oh, I thought it looked cool!" Saki said smiling again.
"And why the name C-ute" Maimi asked.
"Because you guys are all super cute and I am kinda unoriginal with names" Saki said laughing.
"Ah, that works" Maimi said, also laughing "and you are really cute yourself!"
"Ah,uh,th-a-nks!" Saki said slowly blushing but smiling.
"So, are we gonna use the dance studio" Chisato asked "cause that old place has apparently never been used for years according to the teachers"
"Yea, we will!, they did say that we may have to clean it up...a lot" Saki replied "but they also said, since it's never used, we could customize it to our own clubs needs!"
"We should check it out later" Maimi said "also shouldn't this club have like a leader?, I think it should be Nacky, since she was the one who set it up and put the effort in!"
"Umm. ah, I actually already planned that" Saki said "Maimi! you should be leader, because you are the oldest" she then smiled.
"Eh?!, me?" Maimi said.
"You are also the most responsible!" Airi said, giggling.
"To an extent" Chisato also added.
"I'm not really a leader type anyway!" Saki said.
"Yea! Maimi should be leader!" Mai exclaimed.
"Okay! I promise I will do my best!" Maimi said, smiling.
"Also, Nacky, you must be quite serious about this, if you are wearing your glasses" Chisato said, jokingly.
"I forgot, to put in my contact lenses!" Saki said, putting all the paper in a neat pile. "I was too focused on this." she then chuckled. The teacher then walked in, they all got to their seats. Saki sat in hers and had a big smile, bigger then usual. I'm going to do it! she thought this is going to be amazing!
"So, you wanna walk home with me today." Mai asked Chisato as they sat at the lunch table.
"Nah, I have those detentions, remember?" Chisato replied before rolling her eyes.
"Oh, yea! sorry." mai said.
"you don't have to keep apologising!" Chisato exclaimed, patting Mai's head before laughing.
"hey guys!" Airi said before sitting by them. "Maimi and Nacky told me that we are going to take a look at the dance studio at lunch in a days time."
"Ah, I see" Mai said."hope its not too messed up"
"Yea, it would be a pain to clean up" Chisato said sighing.
"Would probably take a whole weekend, if its really bad" Airi said, slumping down and taking a bite out of a apple. Miyabi Natsuyaki then approached them.
"Hello!, how are you guys" She asked.
"We are fine!" Airi replied, smiling at Miyabi. Then a male student called Hikaru also approached them, he was someone who went to the same middle school as them, so he knew them quite well.
"Hey!" He said.
"oh hi!" Miyabi said, turning to face him.
"Hey" Chisato said, looking upwards to face him.
"Chisato?! are you okay! I heard what happened with you and the prank, actually I overheard that you actually took the blame for it! and it was Mai who got caught!" He asked her.
"Yea, so what if I did, not that big of a deal" chisato then said.
"If you did do that! do you still have a crush on or errr, love Mai!" He then said, the whole group then went quiet, Miyabi started at him with a glare, Airi dropped the apple she was eating and covered her mouth. A whole range of emotions filled Chisato as she avoided looking at Mai, her heart stared beating fast as her face went bright red, just as she didn't want at this moment. She didn't love Mai still, well not in that way any more, the fact that he would ask such a question made her angry, yet somewhere,somehow, extremely sad. She could feel herself shaking with a mix of both emotions. Mai then clenched her fists, nervously. Chisato then got up, and ran, she ran as fast as she could, I need to go! she thought, I don't know where but, anywhere! she bumped into a few people as she sprinted out of the lunch hall.
"Chisato!" Airi called for her, before running after her. Mai thought about doing the same, but she stayed, anger filling her face, she then moved towards Hikaru.
"Why would y-" Miyabi started to say to him angrily, but before she could finish Mai slapped him in straight in the face. He stumbled backwards as people started looking towards them.
"YOU WENT WITH US TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO BRING THAT UP" Mai shouted at him, shaking with only anger.
"Mai!" Miaybi said, worried "I think its best you calm down, we don't want to attract more attention to this situation"
"yea, true..." Mai said, slowly calming down, but still giving Hikaru a deadly look.
"I'm sorry!" he said "I didn't know it would impact her so much, I didn't know it was such big a deal!"
"I think you should shut the hell up" Miyabi said, turning to him. Mai then turned, and ran."Mai!" she heard Miyabi call, but she went to look for Chisato, she needed to.
Chisato was slumped against a wall outside, she was staring at the ground, she didn't know why this annoyed her so much, did it mean something that it did. Did she still- no! she couldn't. It was just the fact that he brought up something that saddened me ages ago, she thought, or maybe, the feelings that saddened me ages ago are still here and he just revealed them, no, no way! She only thought about this possibility for a split second before Airi caught up with her, along with Saki who saw them running and followed her.
"Hey..are you okay?" Airi asked, looking at her sadly.
"yea, its just something that slightly annoys me, ya know?" she said, trying her best to make a smile.
"you should probably come inside, it's quite cold" Saki said.
"okay" Chisato said, sighing, they went in together. Mai then was running towards them.
"Are you okay!?" She asked as she tried to catch her breath.
"Yea I'm fine now!" Chisato said, smiling, genuinely this time, smiling at the site of Mai's smile.
Yea, just friends, she assured herself, she is just my best friend.
