Mai p.o.v.: as we walked to school together, I got this sinking feeling in my gut. Why you ask? Well… reo is completely ignoring me. I let out sigh so loud that reo could could hear it from where she was walking in front of me "Reo~ I'm sowwy! pwease forgive me." I said in a cutesty voice because I found out that it's one of her weaknesses. "Hmph!" she said while turning away and sped up.

We made it to the classroom but it seemed that reo might still be mad, I tried to talk to her but the teacher walked in and class started before I could:

Teacher: "everyone, your attention please. I have some important news. I will be taking a short leave of absence and you will be getting a substitute for a week or two. And I probably don't need to ask you to behave."

A girl raised her hand in response.

Teacher: "yes?"

Student A: "may I ask why you are leaving ma'am?"

The teacher sighed as if expecting that question then she started fidgeting in place and blushing, which was really out of character.

Teacher: "actually… I'm… getting married…"

The girls shrieked at the suprising declaration. My attention was too focused on reo though for any of that to matter. Oddly enough, reo was paying a considerable amount of attention and she to be in awe at the teachers words. Reo noticed me staring and quickly turned away. Was she still mad?

Class ended and all the girls were chatting and gossiping, all except for reo that is, she seemed to be engrossed while moving a pencil along a piece of paper. What is she doing? As I wondered that, a girl walked passed her then stopped abruptly and ran over to peer over reo's shoulder while blushing and admiring whatever she was doing. Hmm? The nosy girl called over a few other girls until there was a whole crowd. I have to see what's going on… I got up and headed over there in curiously and pushed my pushed my way through the girls while they watched me too. When I got close enough I noticed that she was drawing some sort of picture. Just when I realized what she was drawing, I stood there in shock:

At the bottom of reo's math homework was a portrait, it was messy and childish but was clearly recognizable as reo and I. the picture showed reo and I facing each other while standing with smiles on our faces. We are wearing pretty elegant dresses. There is dialogue in the background:

Priest: Do you, kawamura reo, take sawaguchi mai to be your lawfully wedding wife?"

Reo: "I do…"

Mai: "I love you reo~"

Just as I read those words my heart skip at least five beat, then while realizing what I just saw I heard reo giggling to herself in happiness. Unable to contain myself any longer, I pounced on reo. "REO~" I shouted while kissing her face. Reo crumpled the paper and threw it out the window. And turned to question me "did… did you see?" she asked. "See what?" I responded innocently while smiling. Our classmates were giggling behind me. "N-nothing" she stammer nervously then sighed in relief. I wonder when she will realize what just happened… oh, she started blushing, and here it comes. "d-did you just k-k-k-kiss me… in front of everyone here?" but by the time she finished that sentence, I was already by the door making my second escape of the day. I left without a response then stopped a peeked my head to say something" goodbye my love… we shall meet again, on our wedding day!" I said dramatically as if rehearsing lines of a play and gave an "air kiss" with my hand while winking. "MAI!" reo said enraged while chasing me out the classroom and down the hallway as I was laughing. Our classmates were still giggling during our escapade. END. Next chapter.
