This chapter is really boring. I'm serious. Still, it's pretty important, which is why I didn't delete it... Q.Q
I'm really sorry about this! Please bear with me~

The car pulls over on the curb. We're there. As I step outside, I'm amazed by what I see.
The school is the size of an olympic stadium. It's far more beautiful than I'd ever imagined.
But it's the inside that truly takes my breath away.
The floor is made from cream colored tiles, each polished to shine. Above me is a crystal chandelier, which gives the hall a sense of elegance. The large rooms, spacious halls, and vast stairways make the whole place fit for royalty.
"You must be Amano Ichigo."
The voice interrupts me from my thoughts. I look up, only to see the greatest Patissiere of all time; Kurai Hiroyuki herself. "It is an honor to meet you, Kurai-sama." I bow deeply before her.
She smiles. She has golden curls and deep blue eyes, just like her daughter.
"Come with me, I want to show you to your new group." She gestures for me to follow her.
We make our way into a large baking room. There, I find three people waiting for me.
First is a boy with light green hair and emerald eyes. His hair is short, with long side bangs that frame his face. Almost like Hanabusa.
The boy smiles. "I'm Minaduki Noboru," he says politely. "I specialize in fruit and flower themed sweets."
The next boy is slightly shorter than Noboru. He has short black hair and dark violet eyes, much like Andou. "I'm Itou Haru," He says. "I specialize in tea themed sweets."
Finally is a boy with blonde hair and a serious expression. He looks identical to Kashino, except for his eyes - they're ocean blue.
Suddenly, I realize he looks more familiar than I thought. "You're... Hiroyuki's son," I utter.
He nods. "My name is Sho... Kurai Sho. I specialize in chocolate."
Just like Kashino, I think. All of a sudden, I'm overcome with a strange ache in my heart. I feel tears prickling at my eyes, but I grit my teeth, trying to keep them from spilling out. Not now, I tell myself. Anytime but now.
"Welcome to Team Amai." Haru smiles warmly.
"Team... Amai?" I inquire. "But... there's no one named Amai in your group."
"Amai means sweet in Japanese," Noboru explains. "Everyone is equally important in our group. Take away one of us, and the group just isn't the same. So instead of naming it after one person, we decided to dedicate our group to the one thing we dream of making; sweets."
I think about his words. He's right... Team Ichigo wouldn't be the same without all three sweets princes.
But what about me? Kashino, Hanabusa, and Andou... do they truly need me...?
The question lingers in my mind. I bite my lip. Of course they need me, I tell myself. They need me just as much as I need them.
But deep inside, I'm not so sure...
