Chapter 2. It's a date.

Ameya-sensei was inspecting the chocolate Mille Crêpe. It looked good, but does it taste good? The students of Class 2-A all wondered.

I'm sure it will taste good. After all, it is Ichigo-chan. Hanabusa thought with delight.

She practiced all night with Maa-kun. It's bound to taste good. Was what was going through Andou's mind.

It's going to be perfe—what? No. Nothing. It will be good because I trained her. Yeah, that's it. Kashino, even in his head, was confused.

Ichigo was just crossing her fingers. Ameya-sensei took a bite, chewed for a few seconds and then swallowed. She drank some water and then turned to the whole group A. "You pass. Class dismissed."

Everybody rushed outside. Everybody except for our favorite team, of course.

Ichigo was dumbfounded. Vanilla pulled her left pigtail. The brunette squealed and then hugged Kashino. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

Kashino blushed but did not argue. "Of course you'd pass. I trained you after all."

Hanabusa laughed. "No need to be so formal, Kashino."

Andou joined in. "Yeah, just hug her already."

Chocolat pushed his arms around Ichigo and then Vanilla laughed.

Caramel and Café started singing "Kashino and Ichigo, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

Ichigo drew away. She blushed and then looked at the ground. "Sorry, Kashino. I was just so happy that I passed. Can I make it up to you?"

Kashino was inwardly disappointed that she drew away, but he didn't argue either. "How?"

"I can take you to that new ice cream parlor in town."

Vanilla protested. "But I thought you didn't have any more allo-. Nothing."

"Shush, Vanilla." Ichigo said. "What do you say, Kashino?"

Kashino rolled his eyes. "Fine," and then he turned to Hanabusa and Andou, "this girl is going to make me fat, and I swear it."

Ichigo, Andou, Hanabusa and the Sweets Spirits laughed.

"Saturday afternoon, 3PM. I'll see you down by the lake, okay?"

Kashino nodded. He turned away and then left the room. Only Chocolat saw that he was smiling to himself.

Kashino walked with his hands in his pockets. He was right beside Ichigo, but his mind was a thousand miles away. I am not nervous. Not nervous.

Chocolat smirked at him. So nervous.

Ichigo's palms sweat as they waited at the bus stop.

They were still silent until they were inside the ice cream parlor.

"So, Kashino. What do you want?" Ichigo asked brightly.

"Chocolate." was the immediate answer. The brunette nodded and then proceeded to the counter.

"A chocolate and a strawberry, please." She said happily. Ice cream wasn't as good as cake, but it was second best.

The cashier frowned at Ichigo. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. We don't have any strawberry. Would you like to change your order?"

Ichigo nodded. "Two chocolate ice cream cones, then."

She quickly paid the cashier and then took the two ice cream cones to their table.

"Here you go!" Ichigo handed the ice cream to Kashino. She noticed that he was staring at her. "What? Is there something on my face?"

Kashino laughed and then pointed at her cheek. Chocolate. She tried rubbing it, but she didn't hit the spot. Kashino used a napkin and then wiped it off himself. His hand stayed there, on her cheek, but then he realized what he was doing. He quickly took it off.

"S-sorry." He mumbled to Ichigo. He was looking down on his ice cream, which was good because Ichigo was pretty much as pink as a flamingo.

"It's okay. I get that all the time."

They ate their ice cream silently for five minutes. On the walk back to St. Marie, Ichigo side-glanced at Kashino and then laughed. Kashino stopped abruptly.

"What's so funny?"

"Your chin, it has-." The brunette doubled up in laughter. Kashino tried to swipe away, and succeeded—in erasing half.

Ichigo stopped laughing and then erased it for him with her fingertips.

"Déjà vu, huh?" Kashino asked. The girl still hadn't taken off her hand. The blond held up his left hand to touch hers, and then they seemed lost in the moment.

Beep! Beep!

A car was honking at them to start walking; they were in the middle of the pedestrian lane. Ichigo sweat dropped and then skipped to the other side of the road. Kashino mentally cursed the driver.

Kashino walked Ichigo to the dorm house. Before she left, she stood on her tiptoes and then kissed him on the cheek, ever so lightly.

The blond turned red and then said, "I h-had fun today. Can I take you out again on Friday?"

"Sure! It's a date." Ichigo replied with a smile playing on her lips. She turned around and then walked inside.

Suddenly, Hanabusa came out of nowhere, and dragged Kashino to the boys' dorm house. "Come on, lover boy. I seriously have to teach you the basics of dating!"
