"Oi! You came to visit!" Kintarou waved his arms at the man.
"Saa… nice to see you again, Tooyama-kun!" He smiled at Kintarou
"F-fuji-senpai!" Sakuno said in surprise.
"May I talk to you for a moment, Ryuzaki-san?" Fuji sat next to Sakuno.
"S-sure thing, Fuji-senpai!" Sakuno agreed.
"You guys go talk while I eat all this food," Kintarou stated as he stuffed more food into his mouth.
"I'm here to ask you a favor, if you don't mind." Fuji started the conversation.
"Sure, and what would that be?" Sakuno asked.
"Will you be my model for a task I've been assigned to?" Fuji asked.
"Of course, what is it about?" Sakuno asked again.
"The theme is Stars in the spring evening. We were told to ask a person to be in the photo and I figured that you'll be perfect as a model," Fuji explained.
"I'd be happy to, Fuji-senpai" Sakuno smiled at Fuji.
"Thank you very much. Are you available this Saturday?" Fuji asked.
"I'll go ask my manager to check," Sakuno replied.
"Sure, call me when you're available," Fuji implied.
Going back to Ryoma, he went straight home after hearing what the others said. That night he went around his stuff, "Nyaaa," Karupin meowed as he watched his master rummage thorugh his stuff and occasionally tossing stuff at him.
"Oi, what are you doing little boy?" Nanjiro asked as he passed through Ryoma's room.
He didn't answer; he was too busy going around his stuff.
"Hn, not in the mood to talk again, eh? Suit yourself," Nanjiro walked away.
"Oyaji, stay right there. I have a favor to ask of you," he broke his silence and grabbed his father's attention.
Meanwhile in the Hoshizora Gakuen dining hall
"Ne, Saku-chan! Did you watch the news earlier?" a girl next to Sakuno spoke.
"Yeah! It was about you and Kintarou-sama!" Another one joined.
"Uhm.. That was…" Sakuno tried to explain.
"Is there something you're not telling us?" The girls giggled.
On the other side of the dining hall…
"Oi! Kintarou-kun!" One of the guys put his arm around Kintarou's shoulder.
"I heard about you and Saku-chan," The guy said.
"What is it about?" Kintarou asked.
"You know you two don't have to hide it anymore!" another guy joined in.
Due to the news earlier, the two were facing similar problems. Everyone thinks they're dating.
Meanwhile, in the Echizen residence…
"Eh? Are you sure about that kid?" Nanjiro was complaining.
"Yeah," Ryoma replied.
"Don't you have other things to worry about?" Nanjiro asked again.
"Leave that part to me," Ryoma said.
The following morning, Sakuno and Kintarou bumped into each other on the way to class.
"Sakuno-chan you don't look so good," Kintarou stated,
"Neither do you," Sakuno giggled.
The two of them started to chuckle seeing as though both of them looked weary that morning.
"Hahaha, I see they kept bothering you too!" Kintarou laughed.
"Yeah! Haha, you too!" Sakuno nodded and they giggled together.
"What are you two standing and laughing there for, get to class hurry!" Their homeroom teacher passed.
"H-hai!" The two hurried to class.
Meanwhile in Seishun Gakuen…
"Hey, it's almost lunch break, I haven't seen Echizen around," Kachiro stated.
"You know him, he'll show up whenever he likes," Horio surely said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Katsuo said.
"Everyone! I made lunch for us! Where's Ryoma-sama?" Tomoka yelled from afar carrying a bunch of bentous on her hands.
"He's not here yet, so I'll eat his lunch for him!" Horio proudly suggested.
"You wish!" Tomoka glared at Horio and it gave him a chill.
Later that afternoon in Hoshizora Gakuen,
"Okay everyone, before we start our afternoon classes, I'd like to introduce a new student" their homeroom teacher announced.
"Eh? A new student coming this afternoon?"
"That's quite unusual!"
"I wonder who it could be!" The students were anxious to see who it was.
"Please come in," the teacher said.
Everyone's eyed widened as they saw the new student coming in.
"From now on he will be joining us today," The teacher said.
"Hey," the new student greeted.
"K-koshimae?" Kintarou stood up in surprise.
[A/N]: Haha xD I'm guessing at first you guys thought that Ryoma was the guy outside! Well I had other plans! xD Hope you guys keep reading! (^_^)
