"No way! Uesugi-kun knows the new students?!" Some students shouted in suprise.

"He already has Nakano-san and her sisters but now he also knows them?" Some boys whispered in jealousy that he was close to the beautiful redheads and now the new students who were literally surrounding him.

"Excuse me Kawano-san, but do you know Uesugi-kun by any chance?" The surprised teacher asked.

At the question, Aki and Rikka hugged him with Haruka nodding excitingly with a huge smile on her face.

"We're a little more than friends actually! We visit each others homes sometimes too!" Said Haruka, shocking the other students by thought of not one but multiple girls visiting his home and him visiting them including the times they saw Fuutarou and the redheads occasionally going home together in the past.

"True, we spent Christmas together with Nakano-san too." Yuki added.

"O-oh, I see... But would you and your sisters take your seats?" The teacher asked as the girls nodded and took the empty seats that were conveniently near the boy.

"Before we start homeroom, we'll pick two class representatives in advance for this year. If you want to nominate someone, just raise your hand."

Multiple students raised their hands, including the Quints by nominating themselves and Fuutarou for some extra time but Fuutarou declined the roll which resulted into Takeda and Tsubaki.

The class agreed that they would be the perfect candidates since Takeda already had experience being a class rep and Tsubaki would be perfect for relaying information since she's in the broadcasting club.

After deciding the class representatives, their homeroom teacher began their first lesson for the school year. The class went on without a hitch if you don't count on Fuutarou being pestered by both set of Quints by asking questions while the blondes asked to share his books.

"Why does it always have to be him..." Some boys whispered in envy as they watch the young man being swarmed by both set of Quints. Even the teacher giggled at Fuutarou who was helping the girls. 'Just get married already.' the teacher thought as she giggled.

When the first period of lessons ended, the boy was swarmed by the blondes and the redheads who instantly linked their arms with his and basically dragged him to the cafeteria as they didn't want to have more rivals when they were already fighting over him.

After finding a table big enough for all of them, they agreed to put Fuutarou in the middle so they would each have an equal amount of Fuutarou with Yotsuba and Haruka being the closest. There was a small disagreement with some certain quints (excluding a glutton, a butterfly and a cook) they've agreed to change positions on who would sit next to him every lunch.

If Yotsuba and Haruka were today then Miku and Yuki have tommorow then it was Ichika and Rikka with Nino and Rikka as the last ones since one of them stole his first kiss on Christmas.

"Fuu-chan, will we have a tutoring session today then?", asked the ahoge girl, who was already aiming to take the seat beside him later while munching on the (3rd) sandwich she bought.

"No no, he'll be helping out at our store." Aki replied with a sly grin as she hugged his arm tighter and looked directly in his eyes.

"Yey! He'll be back!" Haruka celebrated as she ate her lunch in happiness that Fuutarou would spend more time with them even if it's just a moment.

Choosing on which job he should do, he chose to work at the store for the afternoon since he hasn't worked there for a few days and that he felt guilty that he was still being paid for no work. The quints did feel sad that they couldn't be with their beloved tutor but he reassured them that they'll spend some time next time.

After having lunch, finishing the rest of the lessons for that day and helping Nino a bit before she retakes her exams, he bid farewell to the redheads as he walked with the blondes to the convenience store. Aki took advantage as she hugged his arm while walking beside him, making the redheads pout and frown in jealousy.

Even if Nino wasn't showing it, she was also feeling slightly jealous. But she would keep it to herself since she still has something important to do. She must pass her make-up exams if she would fall in love with him since that's the least she could do to make up for what she did before... 'I'll do this for my sisters and you, Fuu-kun.' she thought as she pumped her fist and walked to an empty classroom where a teacher and other students who failed the exams are waiting.

She looked behind her to see her sisters with a thumbs up and mouthing the words 'you can do it', even Yotsuba who was still holding a small grudge that was slowly fading away since Fuutarou told her that she should forgive her sister for her mistakes.

'I can do this!' she confidently thought as the teacher handed her exam papers as he also signalled to start answering.

Meanwhile Fuutarou was being hugged by a clingy Aki with his other hand being lead by Haruka who was cheerfully smiling and talking about how their school was really big and that she liked the uniforms as she twirled in front of him.

Her sisters giggled to see Haruka being her usual bright self as they walked behind them talking about something but he couldn't hear them since they were a little far from them. 'Nino, I hope you'll pass your exams.' he prayed as he looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Hey Fuu-chin!"

"Hm? What's up Haruka?" He asked as he now focused on the sidetailed blonde in front of him.

"Wanna eat at our place tonight?" She asked with expecting eyes as Aki also turned to him.

"Yeah! It would be great to have you there again, darling!" Aki immediately agreeing to Haruka's suggestion, giving her a thumbs up. The others also agreed with their sister, nodding and asking him as well.

"Sorry but I gotta help my dad with something." He replied as the girls became a little disappointed.

"But we'll all hangout tommorow since something good will happen by then." He said as the girls became a little curious on what'll happen tommorow.

After a good walking, the teenagers arrived at the convenience store and changed to their work outfits as they started to work. Fuutarou and Haruka manned the cash register and the kuints started to clean and restock.

The work went pretty well until the time of Fuutarou's shift ended, so he changed back to his clothes and bid the kuints farewell before leaving the store.

After he left, a sidetailed blonde sighed in disappointment, 'I didn't had a chance to do what mama told me...' Haruka thought as she remembered what her mother told her when she asked how to reach his heart.

While changing with her sisters, she found a notebook inside the room with his name written on it.

"Oh? It seems darling left something."

"It's probably important so we should return in right now but he's probably near the station by now."

"I'll do it! I can probably catch up with him!" Haruka said as she finished changing and immediately left after her sisters agreed on sending her to give him back the thing he left behind.

'She'll probably take this chance and do something fufu' Rikka thought as she remembered the time she accidentally eavesdropped on Haruka's conversation with their mother.

"Mom, I-"

"Don't worry, I know what you're going to ask. It's about Fuutarou-kun no?" Emiko hit the target as her daughter nodded.

"I-I want to convey my feelings but I don't know how to... "

"Well just be yourself! Don't try to act any differently! Try to keep calm and remain true to who you are. Be confident! Just kiss him like your sisters!"

"B-but-!"

"No buts! Love is all about attack so just take the chances you get so you won't have any regrets. "Was the last thing she heard before she left to take care of her chores. 'Well I hope it'll go well for you sis.'

"Hm? Ah crap, left my notebook at the convenience." Fuutarou said as he realised that he left the notebook that had notes for the quints at the convenience. He turned around and started to jog back to the convenience but was met with a blonde girl with said notebook in hand.

"You left something, Fuu-chin!" Haruka said as she handed him his notebook.

"Thanks, Haruka. Sorry that you had to run out here. You sure you're going to be fine on your own from here? I could go with you until you get home safely." He asked, worried that something might happen to her because of him leaving his notebook.

"It's fine! But I want to uh...", 'Stay calm and remember what mom told you...' she thought as she took a deep breath. "Fuu-chin..."

*chu* she planted a soft kiss on his lips that lasted for several seconds, before turning around and immediately leaving. Even if her face was red from doing something affectionate on public, she had the biggest smile on her face as she ran back home.

A/N: I am not dead! Apologies for the delay but I was busy with my assignments. Don't worry since I'll definitely finish this story! Have a good day/night! Bye bye~
