The next day came by, and I was making my way to the student council room after school. Opening the door, I notice the Russian blond already there working on paperwork. My heart started to beat a bit faster but at the same time, there was also a sharp pain. I gripped my bag before walking in. Can I face Elicchi?

"Oh! Nozomi, I placed some paperwork for you to do." She said looking at me. Nodding my head, I placed myself at the usual spot. Letting out a sigh, I began working. Silence filled the room and the only thing heard was the tapping sound of the pens on the paper. After a few minutes the other tapping sound stopped. I glance over at Eli who was taking a short break, stretching out her arms. She looked over at me, which I gave her a smile.

"Hmmm… Nozomi? Your eyes are a bit red. Did anything happen yesterday?" I stopped writing for a bit. Of course, I was not going to tell her about yesterday.

"Oh… It's just allergies…" I replied to her question.

"I never knew you were allergic to things…."

"It only happens once in a while."

With that, the room fell into silence again. Eli went back to work and I continued writing. Yesterday huh…? I thought to myself as I remember what happened. I cried my heart out while Honoka embraced me. Sighing I began to recall the memories from yesterday.

"Are you sure you're okay Nozomi-chan?" Honoka asked after I was done crying.

"Mmm… I'm fine… thanks…." I started heading out the bathroom, the younger one following me behind. I stopped and looked back at her. "Don't tell anybody about this okay?" She nodded her head as I gave a smile. I decide to head home until I heard Honoka say something.

"Umm… N-Nozomi-chan?" She called out once more.

I looked back at her again. "Yes?"

"Ano… D-Do you…. um… like… E-Eli-chan?"

"Of course I like her…. She's my friend after all…" I gave a smile. I knew what she meant but I felt like teasing her a bit. I mean look at that embarrassed face she making, I just could not resist.

"T-That's not what I meant!" Honoka's face began to glow a brighter red. "I mean in an r-r-romantic way!"

I burst into laughter. I knew she was being serious but I could not help but laugh. I don't know why I was laughing. Was it to hide my sadness? Or was it because Honoka was acting so cute?

"Hauuu….. Nozomi-chan…. I'm being serious here…" The sophomore began to pout.

"Ahaha… I'm sorry…. Honoka-chan…" I began to wipe the tears that slipped from my eyes from laughing. "To answer your question…. It's a secret…" I placed my index finger on lips.

"Eeeehhh!? That's no fair Nozomi-chan! I thought you were going to open your feelings to me!?" She began to whine and complain. "Nnnoooozzzzooommmiii-cccchhhhaaannn….. why don't you tell me?"

I laughed as she continued to whine more. You're way too early to understand my feelings Honoka-chan. I thought as I looked at her pouted face.

"Oh! Crap, I'm late!" I heard Eli's voice snapping me back to reality. "I'm sorry Nozomi… But I promised Umi, we'd walk home together today after her archery practice…. So can you finish the rest of the paperwork?" The blond's hands were clasped together pleading me.

"Sure…. It's all right…. You better get going…." I said smiling.

"Oh! Thanks Nozomi! I owe you one" Eli said grabbing her bag as she headed out the room.

After she left, the smile on my face disappeared. I continued working on the stack of paperwork. I remember the look Eli gave earlier, she looked very happy. I've never seen her that happy before… guess it's because she excited to see Umi-chan and gets to spend time together with her. I gripped the pen to the point where it felt like I was going to break it. Jealously was an ugly emotion. And I hated how it made me feel.

"NOOZZZOOMMII-CCCHHHAAANNN~!" Somebody shouted as they entered the room. I looked up to find Honokacchi running towards me with something in her hands.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I got this coupon to get two free ice creams and I was wondering if you'll come with me?" She flashed the coupon in front of me. "You're not busy are you?"

"Well…. I have paperwork to do…" I said looking at the stack.

"Awwww…. You can't?" Her eyes become teary. "Everybody's busy…. Hauuu… Kotori-chan had to work. Umi-chan was going home with Eli-chan. Hanayo-chan and Rin-chan already went home. Maki-chan and Nico-chan had plans already. And the coupon expires today….. Guess I have to go by myself…. Sad life of Kosaka Honoka." She looked devastated knowing everybody had other things to do.

"Well… If I hurry finishing this paperwork, I can go with you… Only if you're willing to wait a while." I informed.

She looked at me with those blue sparkling eyes of hers. "Really? YAY! I'm willing to wait, it's no fun going by yourself anyways." A big smile came across her face and I couldn't help but also smile. Yosh! Let's get to work I thought, writing faster.

Half an hour passed and I was done with the paperwork. Stacking the paper together, I place it at Elicchi's spot. I looked over at the sophomore who was sleeping with her head resting on the table. A smirk formed on my face as I went towards the defenseless sleeping girl.

"Honokacchi~" I whispered but got no answer. "If you don't say anything… I'm gonna grope those perky breast of yours." Again, there wasn't any response. I crept closer towards the younger one to the point where I can hear the light breathing. Chuckling, I swiftly grabbed Honoka's chest and instantly she woke up.

"GAAHH!? N-NOZOMI-CHAN!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" She managed to say as she struggled to get out of my grip.

"Hehe… It's punishment for falling asleep on me."

"B-But you said it was okay!"

"Well… I lied…"

"EEEEHHH!? N-NOZOMI-CHAN~" Honoka began to whine and complain like she always does. Chuckling once more, I decided to let her go.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. Anyways do you still want to get ice cream?"

"Of course I do! It's free ice cream! Now let's hurry before it's too late!" Grabbing my hand, the sophomore leaded me out the room.

We finally arrive at the ice cream store but the sad thing was that they were closed for the day already. I looked over at the younger one who stood in front of the shop, shocked from the sign labeled closed.

"UGH! WHY IS IT CLOSED NOZOMI-CHAN!?" The sophomore began flapping her arms up and down. "UNNGGG! I WANT MY FREE ICE CREAM."

"Well… it is 6'o clock already…. How about I go and buy us some ice cream at the convenient store to make up for the loss of the free ice cream deal." I suggested.

"Guess… it's better than nothing…" A sigh escaped from her mouth.

With that said, we made our way to the convenient store. Looking around I noticed a bunch of couples clinging on each other, holding hands, and just enjoying being together. Some part of me felt envy and jealousy towards those couples. If only I listened to my heart and asked Eli out, then I wouldn't have to feel these emotions. If I didn't wait so long but it's too late now, she's with Umi now. I have to accept the fact but...

"Nozomi-chan? Where you going? The convenient store is right here." I heard the sophomore's voice called out as I notice myself still walking forward.

"Oh… Sorry I didn't notice we were here already."

"Are you feeling okay? Nozomi-chan? You've been quiet the whole walk here."

"It's nothing… Now let's go get some ice cream." I began to push the younger one in the store.

"Eh? Bu- Nozomi-chan!?"

"Come on… let's get some ice cream." I dragged the brown-haired girl along with me.

"Oh~!" Honoka stopped to stare at the different kinds of ice cream. "They all look so good… UGH! I want to eat them all." Drool slipped down from her mouth.

"Ahaha… if you eat too much, you'll surely get sick… So choose a couple…"

She nodded her head. "I want this one and that one… oh! And this one…" Her hands grabbed three different ice cream bars but all of them had some kind of strawberry flavor in it.

"Okay." I smiled.

"Are you getting anything Nozomi-chan?"

"Hmmm…" I looked around. A lot of the ice cream had chocolate inside them. Chocolate… Elicchi's favorite food… I stared at the chocolate flavored ice cream remembering that one time when we went to get some ice cream together.

"Mmm~ Chocolate really is the best!" The blond placed one hand on her cheek enjoying the nice flavor in her mouth.

"Hmmm….? Is that so?" I replied sucking on my cherry flavor Popsicle.

"Yup! Chocolate can make my day anytime. It's just too good."

"Chocolate can make you fat if you eat too much…" I started to chuckle a bit.

"I know that Nozomi… So can yakiniku…." The older one pouted a bit.

"Elicchi! Don't bring yakiniku into this!"

"Geez Nozomi don't need to be so defensive. You're the one that started it."

We stared at each other for a while. Both of us wore serious expressions. After a little while, laughter came between us.

"zomi-chan… Nozomi-chan!" I heard a voice, snapping me back into reality. "Huh? Yes?" I turned to face Honoka.

"You were spacing out… is something wrong?"

"No… I don't really feel like eating ice cream right now… So… let's go pay for yours." I said heading up to the register.

After I paid for the ice cream, Honoka invited me to go to her house for some tea. Accepting her offer, we headed to Honoka's place. The younger one opened the entrance to her home and shouted "I'm Home!"

"Welcome back." Her mother greeted her daughter as she came in. Her eyes moved from Honoka to me. A gasp came from her mouth. "The Vice-president is here! Is she filming another movie? Gosh… and I didn't put any make up yet."

"Okaa-san! She's here for a visit not movie filming!"

"Oh? Well… make yourself at home." Honoka's mom bowed.

"Ah! Thanks for having me…" I also bowed. "I don't think I ever properly introduced myself. I'm Nozomi Tojo, Student council vice-president and a friend of Honoka's."

"Well… Tojo-san, please make yourself at home. I'll go make some tea for you guys." The older women said taking her leave.

"Let's go to my room." Honoka said leading me to her room.

Arriving at her room, the younger one rushed onto her bed. I seated myself on the floor next to the bed.

"Nozomi-chan? Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"You like Eli-chan huh?" Honoka brought up the topic from yesterday. I didn't answer her. "Judging by your silence that's a yes? Huh?"

"And what if I said I do like her? What's it to you?"

With that said, the room fell into silence. A knock came from the door as Honoka's mother entered the room with two cups of tea. She placed the cups onto the table.

"The tea is ready. Drink it while it's hot." I thanked her before she took her leave. Taking the cup into my hand, I began to blow on it before drinking it. I heard the sophomore mumbled something under her breath.

"Hmmm…? Did you say something?" I questioned.

"Why would you continuing on liking Eli-chan when she's with Umi-chan!?" Honoka shouted out.

"It's not as easy to fall out of love with someone! Especially when you loved them for so long!" I shouted back.

"Then fall in love with another person!" Hearing those words come from her mouth made something inside me snap. I threw my body against hers pinning her down the bed.

"What are you trying to suggest Honoka!?" I glared at her.

"It's just that….." Her eyes averted from mines.

"I see…." I said with a smirk forming on my face. "Are you suggesting that you want to be the person that makes me fall out of love with Elicchi!?"
