Suoh Mikoto had been playing basketball for a few weeks now for the girl's basketball club as they don't have enough members to establish a new club. There were 5 of them with Asou, her classmate who is also captain for the boy's basketball club had been training them lately. That evening, just after the club's practice, for some reason both of them went back home together. As they were walking, they talked about a bunch of stuff. About school, their classmates, teachers, hobbies, Mikoto's offer to be the main player of their basketball club etc etc. Then out of the sudden, Asou stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mikoto asked out of curiosity. They had been talking along the way and suddenly he stopped. That's pretty weird.

"Suoh…..Would you be my girl?" Asou said. That's really out of nowhere.

"Eh?" Mikoto was really shocked. She stood there for a while to process the thing that Asou just said before she ran home with all her might like she saw a ghost or something.

As soon she arrived home, she laid on her bed, still processing things.

Processing, processing,…Suoh, would you be my girl?

This is not good.

She took her phone which was on her desk and called Eri.

"Sawachika, you don't what just happen to me!"

She told everything from the beginning till the end.

"We knew about that. About Asou has a feeling for you,"

"What you mean you knew? Is that you Takano?"

"I just happen to be here," Takano Akira said over the phone.

"To be honest with you Mikoto," Eri on the loudspeaker "We've been noticed that Asou had his eyes on you since first semester,"

"Why didn't you guys tell me about this? I didn't notice that," there's another familiar voice over the speaker.

"Tsukamoto, you were in Eri's place too?"

"Hehehe, I just happen to be here too,"

"Well, anyway, I don't see why you had to be panicked. You don't have a boyfriend and Asou is like a perfect guy. He's cute, his grades weren't so bad and he's the captain of the basketball club. Plus, he's a nice guy. I never heard people talk bad about him, not even other boys," Eri said.

"She had another person in mind," Akira hit the jackpot.

"Who is it? Who is it? Mikoto you've never tell us about this," Tenma said eagerly.

"Isn't it obvious? It's Hanai," Eri said.

"EEEHHHH! I don't know you actually have feeling for Hanai. He's your childhood friend, right?" Tenma said with her ponytail moved up and down.

"Stop making assumption! Hanai and I are only friends, not more than that!" Mikoto screamed over the phone.

"If we're wrong, why is your face turned red?" Akira said.

"My WHAT?" Mikoto quickly went in front of the mirror. It is red as a tomato. "But how did you…..you can't see me here…but why did you….TAKANO!"

Akira calmly sipped her cup of tea ignoring Mikoto's scream.

"Okay, I gave up. I do have feelings for Hanai. Now can you please help me? I'm in a situation here," Mikoto said.

"Wow, you're pretty good Akira, to make her tell her true feelings to us," Eri praised Akira.

"Mikoto, you must really be cute right now. I hope I am with you so I can give you hugs," Tenma said excitedly. Her ponytail moved even faster.

"How do we help her, genius?" Eri asked Akira.

Akira slowly put her cup of tea on the table. "No idea," she said

"What?" All three of them shocked with Akira's answer.

"Mikoto."

"Yes ma'am," Mikoto surprised with Akira's change of voice. It sounded strict like Akira was going to scold her.

"You have to confront your feeling to Hanai first. Then you'll know what to do," Akira said.

Mikoto remain silent for a while. Then she said," I understand. Thanks guys,"

"Anytime," Tenma said.

Mikoto smiled before she hung up.
