So Maria left the room and went to her classroom to get her belongings. When she arrived at the classroom, she saw Kiku looking outside the window, a little depressed.
I wonder what's wrong with Kiku-kun… She thought… Maybe I'll ask him… She added.
"Hey Kiku-kun!" Maria said smiling as she approached the boy.
"Maria? I didn't notice you. Are you finished with your art?" Kiku said as he looked at Maria.
"Nope, not yet. I still need to color it. Anyways, you looked depressed, are you okay, Kiku?" Maria asked.
"I-I'm fine Maria. You worry too much." Kiku said and he gave off a smile.
"Well worrying is fine, as long as I can help a friend. And you look troubled Kiku, what's wrong?" Maria said.
"I said I'm fine, nothing's troubling me." Kiku said.
"Well, if you say so." Maria said, and then she noticed a piece of paper on Kiku's desk.
"Hey Kiku, is that your art?" Maria asked as she tried to get the paper.
Kiku then noticed Maria's action then he held the paper up in the air.
"It is my art, and you can't see it." Kiku said, lefting it up.
"Let me see! Let me see!" Maria said as she jumped up just to get Kiku's art.
"No way! You can't get it; I'm much taller than you!" Kiku said as he raised his art higher so that Maria can't get it.
"Just by two or three inches!" Maria said.
As Maria tries to jumped, she accidentally tripped herself and it made her out of balance. Thus, the two of them fell, and Maria ended up lying on Kiku's chest.
I'm on Kiku's Chest! Darn! Maria thought as her face turned red.
"S-Sorry Kiku-kun. A-Are you okay?" Maria said
Wh-What just happened? Kiku thought. His face turned light red.
"-I'm Fine Maria. How about you?" Kiku said as he stood up.
"I'm fine, and look what I've got..." Maria said giggling as she held the paper.
"Th-That's mine!" Kiku said as he reached for the paper.
Maria noticed the move Kiku made, so she eventually stood up on the chair.
"Too slow kiku-kun!" Maria said.
She then look at Kiku's art. She was shocked at what she saw, it's her old drawing.
"Kiku-kun? Why do you still have my drawing?" Maria asked.
"I... Uhmm... Well... Because it's a gift, from a special friend." Kiku said shyly.
"Kiku-kun, you're so sweet..." Maria teased.
"No, I'm not." Kiku denied.
"Yeah you are." Maria said giggling.
"And it makes me happy." She added.
Ma-Maria's Happy? Kiku thought. Seeing her happy makes me happy... He added.
"So it does." He said.
"Anyways, It's almost 5:30, let's go to our dorms together." Maria said.
She held Kiku's right hand and she took her bag.
"But the boys are not allowed in the girls dorm." Kiku reminded her.
"And so are the girls, we're not allowed in your dorms." Maria said giggling.
"Are you really gonna disobey the school rules, Maria-chan?" Kiku asked worrying.
"What? Of course not, I'm gonna drop you off in front of your dorm, Kiku-kun." Maria explained as she picks up a flower.
She puts the flower on her hair.
Maria you look beautiful. Kiku thought. Sweet and Fragile, just like a flower. He added. He smiled and then gave a slight blush
"So, how do i look Kiku?" Maria asked.
"B-Beautiful Maria." He said, he didn't notice that his face turned cherry red.
Maria noticed this and she smiled.
Is he blushing? She thought. He looks adorably cute. She added.
"Thanks, Kiku-kun. And you look like a tomato when you blush!." She said giggling.
"Whaa-!? Please pretend that, that never happened!" Kiku said.
"Sure, Kiku-kun. Now let's go!" Maria said giggling.
"Hai!" Kiku said.
Before they could reach the dorm, they have to go through the garden. The garden is filled with exotic flowers from across the globe. The sea can also be seen.
"Whoah! Kiku-kun! Look! The sunset is so beautiful!" Maria said as she pointed out to the setting sun.
"It's beautiful." Kiku said as he looked at Maria, who is also looking at the sun.
"Drufuuuu! The hero is here!" Alfred Shouted.
Japan just gave off a sigh..
Why does Alfred have to ruin this perfect scenery... Kiku thought. He really doesn't know how to read situations.. He added.
"Hey Alfred." Maria said as she wave to Alfred who was approaching them.
"Eh? Maria and Kiku? I didn't know you're both dating here?" Alfred said.
"W-Were not dating Alfred. We're just looking at the sunset." Kiku said.
"Ye-Yeah Alfred. Anyways, now that you're here. Can we see your drawing?" Maria asked.
"Hahahaha! Of course." Alfred replied as he took his art and gave it to Kiku.
"Well what do you think?" Alfred asked.
Kiku and Maria just sigh in unison.
"Alfred, you should draw the person, you'll be giving your art." Maria said.
"And you shouldn't draw yourself." Kiku added.
"Why? I ama hero. I can do anything!" Alfred said.
"Alfred, you're just like Gilbert. But you're a little childish." Maria said giggling.
"Hahahaha.. Okay then... I'm gonna draw Tony and Arthur. See you guys!" Alfred said as he took his art.
"The Hero will now leave. DRUFUU!" He added.
"Let's continue walking Maria, it's getting really late." Kiku said as he took Maria's hand.
Maria then blushed a little.
"Okay then." Maria replied, trying to cover her blush.
They then continued walking and they stopped in front of the Girl's dorm.
"Well, here's your dorm Maria." Kiku said.
"Thanks you tomorrow." Maria said smiling.
"Hai! See you tomorrow then." Kiku replied.
Kiku then went to the boys' dorm which is the next building.
Maria on the other hand, went to her room, clean, eat, did her assignment and went to bed.
Tomorrow's another day. She thought as she went to sleep.
