*Ayame's POV*

After the incident, Haruiko-san stopped bothering me and I started hanging out with Tadashi-kun and Tsukishima-kun. I couldn't exactly call us close friends but it's nice to have friends once in a while, even though I could feel a few envious stares coming from the girls.

The bell rang and I sat with those two in the back, placing our bento on the table. I noticed that Tadashi-kun doesn't have his bento on and he seemed down.

"Tadashi-kun, are you all right? Where's your bento?" I asked him and his face turned red.

"He forgot it..." Tsukishima-kun answered, opening his lunch.

"I thought I placed it in my bag" Tadashi-kun solemnly answered "D-don't mind me, Mizuki-san! It's okay. I'm not hungry" However, his stomach made a loud noise. Poor Tadashi-kun. I could almost hear him cursing his stomach for rumbling in public.

"If you're not hungry, then why's your stomach rumbling?" Tsukishima-kun snickered.

"S-sorry..." Tadashi-kun answered, red faced.

"It's okay. You can share with my lunch. I accidentally over packed this morning, so don't worry, you can share with mine" I assured him.

"Are you sure?"

"Yup"

"Th-thanks, Mizuki-san" I opened my lunch and shared it with him. He was hesitating a bit since he's sharing with my lunch so I told him he doesn't need to be shy about it. While we're eating, I wanted to ask if they play volleyball but someone tapped my shoulder.

"Mizuki-san, someone asked me to deliver this to you" she said, holding out a letter. I sighed. I'm pretty sure it's another love letter from one of the boys in the other class. I wordlessly took the letter and stared at it for fifteen seconds. I wish my stare could burn this letter but nooo!

"Another one?" Tsukishima-kun said, grabbing the letter from my hand and inspected it "Oh, it says Class 1-3 here..." he said, pointing at the handwritten part on the right side of the letter.

"Give me that" I said and he gave it back to me "Should I read it?"

"Suit yourself..." he shrugged, though his eyes were curious. I sighed and opened the letter and the two of them peered at the letter I opened. It says:

Mizuki-san, please meet me behind the school after class. I have to tell you something.

"Please don't tell me you are planning to meet him" Tsukishima told me.

"I have to. Besides, it'll be rude for me if I let him wait" I sighed, folding the letter and stuffed it in my pocket.

"Th-then, m-me and Ts-Tsukki will accompany you then!" Tadashi-kun told me.

"I-If you don't mind..." I timidly answered. Last times incident still give me shivers and I definitely needed some backup.

"Of course we are coming" Tsukishima-kun answered "You don't want last times incident to happen again, right?"

I nodded. I grabbed my bag and pulled out the strawberry shortcake I brought from home. I don't know why I brought it but I thought that if I get hungry, I'll eat it. Mom's orders, not mine.

"Is...is that a strawberry shortcake?" Tsukishima-kun asked, wide eyed. He looked like he wanted to eat some but it seems he's restraining his self.

"Yes, it is. Do you want one?" I asked him and he nodded. He took a bite of the cake and his face was stoic, like I usually see from him, but I swear I saw a happy aura around him as he chews. How...weird...

"That's Tsukki's favourite food, strawberry shortcake. It's no wonder if he's like that" Tadashi-kun explained to me. I gave him some cake and as soon as he took a bite, his eyes were glittering, "It's delicious, Mizuki-san! Did you bake this?"

"Yup! Does it taste okay?"

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

I smiled when he said that it's delicious. I like cooking and honestly, I'm way better than mom in this thing. The cake was all gone but Tsukishima-kun ate way more cake than us, which is unfair since I baked this cake and pulled an all-nighter for this.

Note to self: Don't bring any strawberry shortcake to class or else a certain blonde will finish it all.

I went to the site where the letter sender instructed me to. Tadashi-kun and Tsukishima-kun were hiding behind the trees and bushes, watching. I'm starting to think that bringing those two may be a bad idea. I sat on one of the benches while I'm waiting for the guy. Minutes later, a black haired teen arrived. He was wearing a round nerdy glass and his hair was unkempt. He keep fiddling with his fingers and adjusting his glasses. He looked at me and beamed.

"Mizuki-san, thank you that you came!" he said, bowing "My name is Katasuke Shiro from Class 1-3. Nice to meet you!" He's...awfully cheerful....the heck?

"H-hi, Katasuke-kun" I said "So, what brings me here? Why did you send me that letter?"

"Eto...I-I was thinking that if...if..." he trembled. Is this scene supposed to be in some shojo manga where a guy gets nervous confessing to a girl? Katasuke-kun was suddenly on his knees and grabbed my hand, surprising me "Please...please, Mizuki-san...please help me create a love letter!"

...

...

EEEEEHH?! What did he just said?! Help him create a love letter?! I thought it's one of those stupid confessions again!! What's going on?!
