Aishiteru Banzai- a NicoMaki story

New School...new friends??

[Maki's POV]:

It's my first day at college, I'm excited but I'm all on my own again. Hanayo and Rin decided to go elsewhere and now well I've got to make new friends.

This reminds me of before μ's formed. No friends, all on my own, the weird rich piano girl. I miss μ's with all of my heart; I miss Nozomi's spiritual tarot readings, Eli's calm atmosphere, Honoka eating bread, Umi scolding her, Kotori caught up in the middle, Hanayo and Rin doing their own little thing and Nico. I miss Nico, everything about her I miss. I... I wish I were still close with her.

I quickly wipe my eyes, checking for tears. "Well I better get going then, after all this is it, the start of my doctor training". For as long as I can remember I always wanted to take over for mama and papa at the hospital, it pays well and I'd like to help them.

I step onto campus, god I'm scared what if I make a fool of myself oh no, wait Maki don't be an idiot get a hold of yourself you'll be fine, everything will be ok, you'll be fine Maki, you'll be fine....

"HELLO THERE!!!!!" someone says to me getting uncomfortably close. "uwahh!" I say in shock. "Welcome to the academy! I hope you enjoy the college!!!" " T-Thank you?" "AAAA! I'm so sorry I'm an awkward mess! My name is Konoe Haruka!" the brown haired girl says proudly. "I'm Nishikino Maki" the girl then starts to look amazed and shocked " NISHIKINO SAN?! μ's?!?!" now I'm not going to lie, I knew μ's would come up eventually after all I WAS apart of it.

"Ahaha uh yeah THAT Maki" she starts to smile. "You're such an inspiration to me Nishikino-san!, you inspired me with my idol group!" I blush at her words, a-an inspiration? me?? I'd expect someone else like Honoka or Eli to be their inspiration. "u-um t-thank you Konoe-san" she gives me a refreshing smile and thumbs up "Just call me Haruka!, hey Nishikino-san wanna be friends?" I blush I wasn't expecting someone to want to be friends with me straight away. "uh- okay" I give in.

We make our way inside the academy together. "nishikino-san, what class are you doing?" " I'm focusing on medicine and doctors work" she seems....suprised?? "I thought you'd take music to be honest hehe!" I mean I can see why she'd think that it's a bit obvious as to why "how about you Haruka-san?" she seems delighted that I asked "Music! I want to be an idol for fun and to help out and bring smiles to my sister Kanata!" I smile.

I stop.

A girl around 5'1 walks past me, her dark hair cascading behind her, the familiar scent of strawberries and flowers. She turns her head a bit to face me, her red eyes looking directly into my purple eyes. "n-no way" I mutter. It, it can't be her...................right?
