Walking pass to a alley way,Maki saw a lone cat that peacefully resting beside the wall.The red head look side by side and when she confirmed that no one is there,she crouch and pat the cat's head,the cat purr and this made the red head smile and pat her more until she heared a familiar voice that she didn't want to hear.''Awww,I never thought that the cold Nishikino Maki has a cute side~'' she smirked teasing the red head,as she turned around,standing up,she saw the girl who, from the bottom of her heart don't want to be seen doing these.Maki felt again the blood rushing through her face and feels hot ''W-What are y-you doing h-here!?'' She stuttered only to find herself more embarassed.The girl standing in front of her is small,raven haired,ruby eyes teasing her,pale white skin,and the smirk she has on her kissable pink lips.The crimson haired girl look anywhere except on the person standing in front of her.''Aww,That's kind of cute of you!'' The raven haired said smiling at the red head that looked like a tomato.''W-Whaa..'' Maki blushed ''W-What are you t-talking about,Idiot!?'' The raven haired girl heared this term 'Idiot' again and it pisses her off ''Don't call me that!Aren't you grateful that you were given a compliment by the Super Idol Nico Nii!?''

Giving the red head a proud yet annoyed look,the girl in front of Maki sigh.The raven haired noticed that the red head isn't looking at her.The raven haired put her hands above her ear and has this pose 'rock n roll sign'.Maki glance at the brat in front of her and noticed the change of atmosphere,her blush didn't completely disappear just a slight pink in her cheeks is shown.When the red head turn her attention in to the raven haired,she has this confused and annoyed look.But then the raven haired started ''Nico Nico Nii~''

Moment of silence,Nothing can be heared when the raven haired stop with a bright smile,Maki's expression change into a red head preventing herself to laugh at what she just saw.But broke because she can't take the humor.When the raven heared the red head chuckle,she's the one that looked annoyed now ''Why are you laughing?'' Maki stop herself ''What was that just now?That's lame.'' Maki said not wanting herself to laugh again.''What did you say!?...'' the raven haired sigh then smile ''But atleast I saw that smile of yours,Your a lot cuter when you smile.'' Maki blush on what the girl said but didn't argue,she just avoid eye contact again.She realized that they will be late if they don't go now,so she look again to the girl who is now waiting for the red head to look at her.The raven haired talk first with a smile ''Why don't we walk together to school?'' Maki eyes widened but calm herself and nodded,Thinking that if she rejected her,there will be another argument and they will be late.

As they walk to the school,Maki realized she was walking with a stranger because she doesn't know the raven haired's name yet.The girl already knew about hers because of the rooftop scene,Maki accidentally blurt her name out,of being annoyed for being called a 'Tomato Idiot',the red head sigh and the raven haired noticed this and also realized that she hasn't yet introduced herself.The raven haired broke the silence in the surrounding ''Yazawa Nico'' Maki look at the girl beside her and wore this confused look,The raven haired saw this and it annoyed her because she hated saying again what she just said.

''I'm Yazawa Nico.'' Maki turn into realization and nodded ''Maki-chan'' said Nico startling Maki whose now looking at Nico ''You can call me Nico and I will call you Maki-chan.'' Maki stare at raven haired wide eyes ''W-Why suddenly?'' The red head asked blushing lightly.''D-Don't say anything and just call me that..!'' The raven haired said looking away from the person beside her,as Maki saw the ear of Nico red.''W-Well if you insist...then,N-Nico..-san.'' Maki said blushing hearing herself call the girl beside her by her name.This is the first time that she called someone,someone that she's not close to,call their first name.Maki's heart beat turn fast when she think about it.''Just drop the 'san' '' The raven haired said looking at Maki with a annoyed face.''Call me like what I call you so we're even.'' Maki nodded ''T-then..Nico...-chan''

Maki's heart was beating fast that she can't catch up.''Yep,that's perfect'' Nico replied then the silence surround them again.

They reached the school ground and bid farewell to each other, however,they are both late,homeroom already started and It's the first time the red head is late.When she open the door to their room hearing it swung open made her classmates look at her,even the teacher who didn't expect Maki to be late,layed her eyes on her.She can feel the stares even when she's already seated.Her teacher question her about what happened why she was late and the red head only answered lies that are believable because she don't what everyone to know that she was in a argument with a senior.

When lunch break started,she grab her bento in her bag and was about to go outside the room when the energetic cat appear ''Maki-chan~,Let's eat together,nyaa~'' she said with the shy girl behind her.First,the red head rejected them that made the brown haired girl behind the energetic one sad and started to tear up.Maki saw the girls looking at her as if she was the bad one,and sigh,''I get it.'' She said,the brown haired girl smile and stop the tears herself.''R-Really?T-Then,can I call you by your first name n-now?'' Maki nodded,giving up.''Don't make me repeat it.'' The red head said then look at the two girls,she noticed that they were smiling brightly than before,''Then,Let's go,nyaa~'' The orange haired girl raised her fist like she won a battle.

Maki,Rin and Hanayo arrived outside and went under the tree in the middle of the school yard.Once seated,they open their lunch and dig in.The wind is blowing past through them inhaling fresh air.Rin brakes the silence by calling a person.''Nico-chaaaaan!!!''.Startling Maki whose eating her lunch that she almost choke,Hanayo pat her back and hand her a water to drink.''A-Are you okay,Maki-chan?''.Maki nodded

Rin whose now waving at the twin tailed girl and rushing to her.The crimson haired recovered and saw four figures in front of her.

They are,Rin,Nico with a lavender haired girl in a low twintail,with turquoise eyes that releasing calm and motherly aura,and a blonde haired girl in a high ponytail,with sky blue colored eyes as if looking into the sky emitting a clever and cool aura.''Maki-chan?'' The raven haired asked noticing Maki was now staring at her.

The red head twitched and realized that she's now staring at the raven haired,the lavender haired smirk ''Ohhhh,is Nishikino Maki fell for Nicocchi~?''.Maki suddenly turn bright red and started twirling a strand of her hair ''H-Huh?Of course not!Wait,how did you know my name!?'' When the lavender haired girl is about to talk,Nico twitch her eyebrows.''Nozomi,stop teasing Maki-chan like that!'' Standing on her toes like she wanted to be as the same height of the lavender haired whose name is Nozomi,but fell right in to the chest of the mention girl.Nico quickly move aside so that she won't suffocate.

Nozomi stared at the smaller girl,''How does it feel?'' She put her hands beside her mouth and smirk and started giggling.Maki whose now cheeks are vivid pink sigh.The blonde stay silent.''Suffocating'' The raven haired said crossing her arm in her chest and now's attention turn to the red head but before she could say a thing,the energetic girl Rin started speaking to Maki before the raven haired could,''Maki-chan,this is Nico-chan,but I think you already knew each other.Then this is Nozomi-chan and Eli-chan! We just met them yesterday that they are also eating their lunch here and we be friends them,nyaa~'' Rin is now done talking,making a cat face and sat beside the shy girl Hanayo.''Ah,N-Nico-chan,Eli-chan.She's Nishikino Maki as Nozomi-chan said.She is our classmate,The rumored 'beauty with brains'.'' Hanayo grin signaling the the two that she's done.

Maki made a confusing look tilting her head yet a slight blush can be seen in her cheeks ''Rumored?''
