It was Monday morning. Rin and Len were walking together then they heard a voice calling their names. "Rin-chan! Len-kun! Wait up!"
"hey Gakupo-kun!" the twins greeted.
"Hi guys! Where's Luka-san?"
"She sent Rin a text message saying that she'll be late today."
"Huh? Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe she has something to take care of."
Rin smiled. "Yep. Luka-san has been really busy these past days."
"Rin-chan! Len-kun! Gakupo-kun!" Meiko yelled.
Len raised an eyebrow. "Meiko-san? It's a miracle! You're so early today."
"Oh come on guys! Let's walk to school together. This will be my first time walking with you guys to school."
Gakupo chuckled. "Yeah. This maybe the first and last time."
"whatever Gaku freak. Let's just go." Meiko said as she grabbed the twin's hands and walked.
Gakupo sighed and followed them. When they reached school, they reviewed some lessons. Suddenly, Gakupo's eyes landed on Kaito. "Look at that blue-haired dumbass. I'm pretty sure that he only copied his answers from Luka last Friday." He whispered to himself. He didn't seem to like Kaito. To top it off, he hated him. He was so pissed off so he looked away. Afterwards, Kiyoteru entered the classroom. Luka's friends got worried since she was still not there. Kiyoteru started teaching then suddenly, they heard Luka's voice. "Good morning sensei. Good morning minna-san. I'm so sorry I'm late. Please excuse me."
Kiyoteru's eyes widened "L..Luka-san? Is that really you? You look really beautiful and amazing. Oh uh I..I mean please come in and take your seat!"
"Sheesh. Even Hiyama-sensei has his pervert side too. What a pedo." Gumi whispered to Piko.
"Gumi… Sensei is human too. And he isn't blind. I mean… She looks so cute." Piko whispered back.
Gumi giggled. "I know Piko-kun, I know."
Everyone's mouth was wide opened. You can see in Neru's face that even she was surprised yet she seemed to be angry too. Kaito can't take his eyes off his seatmate. Some people were whispering to each other.
"Is she really Luka? She looks so beautiful. She finally got rid of those eyeglasses and braces. I love what she has done to her hair too." Lily told Haku.
"I know right? She's like a total weirdo that transformed into an angel. I love those cute earrings that she's wearing." She replied.
"Snap out of it children! Let's get back to the lessons!" Kiyoteru said.
Luka felt like hiding her face because she wasn't used to be the topic of the class. During their class hours, Kiyoteru didn't care even if he knew that all of his students weren't paying attention to the lessons. He just kept on teaching. Suddenly, the bell rang. Rin hurriedly tackled Luka. "Luka-san. You look beautiful today. Everyone has been talking about you."
"Yeah. Neru looked so envy. I really don't like sitting beside her." Len said.
Meiko chuckled "Yeah Luka-san. You look really really pretty today."
Gakupo blushed "You know, you've always been pretty for me Luka-san. You look prettier now but I honestly think that you were pretty before too."
"Awww. Gakupo-kun is so sweet." Rin teased.
"Thank you guys. Come on! Let's go to the cafeteria." Luka said.
"You can go on without me guys. I'm not hungry. I'll review some lessons for our English quiz later."
"Us too. Me and Len will review with Meiko-san."
"I guess I'll be reviewing too."
"Well then I'll go alone."
"Is it ok with you to eat alone?" Gakupo asked.
"It's ok. I'll be back after eating. See you!" Luka said then went to Kaito's locker. She was about to drop a love letter inside when suddenly, Kaito appeared so she crumpled it. "Ah. Luka-san. You… You look beautiful." He said with a slight blush on his face.
"T..Thank you." She replied.
"My pleasure. Mind if you… sit with us in the cafeteria?"
Luka smiled "Sure."
Kaito held Luka's hand and bought food together. He escorted Luka to her seat too. Luka was blushing really hard that time. Luka had a conversation with Kaito and his friends. While they were eating and chatting, Miku and Neru came and sat with them. "Sorry about those times that I insulted you, Luka-san."
"It's ok. I forgive you."
"You're too kind. And as a reward, I would like to give this soda to you."
"Thank you very much Neru-san." Luka had a big smile on her face. She was about to open it but then Miku stopped her.
"Wait! Don't drink that!" Miku took the soda from Luka and handed it to Neru "If you really want to make it up to Luka-san, open it for her."
"I..I"
"I said open it for her."
Neru was so annoyed and embarrassed so she left and sat with her other friends.
"Neru! Wait!"
"Gumi. Don't even try to stop her."
"What was that all about anyway?"
"Piko, if I didn't stop her, the soda could've burst into Luka-san's face. Neru shook it."
"That's so mean of her!" Gumi exclaimed.
"Yeah. From now on, she won't be hanging with us anymore. Luka-san is much nicer anyway." Piko said.
"You mean…"
"Yes Luka-san. You're one of us now."
"Miku-san… I"
"Kaito-kun! Aren't you going to say something?" Gumi asked.
"Oh. Uhm, yeah… We're friends now."
All of them were happy. After recess, Luka told her old friends what happened. She hanged out with her new friends after class. From that day on, she became more popular in the campus. She spent less of her time with her old friends but still cared for them. She became popular yet she still maintained her high grades. One night, she was about to sleep then she whispered to herself
"Best school year ever."
