Chapter 66, originally posted on March 24, 2016.

In the school at morning, Rin talks to Kaname.
Rin:…that’s why I decide to pick that dress I got for my family celebration.
Kaname: That’s great. So it’s been a few days since we met.
Rin: Yeah. I think it’s pretty good that we met and became friends.
Kaname: So are you thinking about our club?
Rin: I’m still deciding. I heard Yuki was invited to the club. (acting as if she doesn’t know anything about it)
Kaname: We did. She claims she is busy, to which we can understand.
Rin: Yeah. What is your club about? I know you explained a little about me, but I wanna know more about it.
Kaname: Well, I did tell you that we are trying to make hard work for us to get more noticed and respected.
Rin: Yeah…
Kaname: But I want to add that we also want to help out the school more and to get the best school year ever because we’re seniors.
Rin: I see your point.
Kaname: I know you’re friends with Yuki, and she may have told you about her problems with us. We shouldn’t be socially awkward with her. It’s just that we didn’t have a great school year previously, and that’s why we were kinda restricting our rules and we shouldn’t do that.
Rin: So you guys are not good at socializing?
Kaname: Pretty much. We want to have more friends and we want more classmates to understand of what we’ve been through.
Rin: Don’t worry. I’ll think this through about your club.
Kaname: Thanks, my friend. I will be happy with your decision, even if it’s different what what we expect, because I know you are being clear thinking about it.
Rin: And I’m glad you know about me this quick.
Later during break, Yuki talks to Rin.
Yuki: Hey Rin.
Rin: Hey Yuki.
Yuki: So I see you hang out with Kaname recently.
Rin: We talked more. She and I share things in common.
Yuki: That’s good for you, but do you remember what I told you about her and the team?
Rin: She admitted that the whole group are socially awkward and want to learn from good classmates like us.
Yuki: What about that after school talk?
Rin: I’m sure that was a week ago. Look Yuki, if you think the team is bad, it’s important to make them a good team.
Yuki: Yeah, but…
Kaname comes in and yells out Rin’s name.
Kaname: Rin!
Rin: Kaname?
Kaname: The student room has someone who is showing her collection of Akiatsu cards!
Rin: You’re serious?
Kaname: Yes, and some prism stones from Pretty Rhythm and Pripara!
Rin: Sweet! Thanks for letting me know.
Kaname: Now let’s go there!
They both run off.
Minoru talks to Yuki about Kaname.
Minoru: Does she not care about the Phase Team’s meeting?
Yuki: Seems like it.
Minoru: I hope she doesn’t become one of those. To me, Kaname seems to have something that made me curious about her, like the rest of them.
Yuki: Pretty much, their meeting explained all of that.
Minoru: I can understand that Rin tries to say to make them a good person, but I hope nothing goes wrong with her.
Yuki: Definately.
Later during lunch, Rin sees Shirou coming in to her desk while she’s eating.
Shirou: Hey sweetie!
Rin: Shirou!
Shirou: It seems that you are having a happy day.
Rin: I made a new friend recently. She shows me stuff that caught my interest.
Shirou: That’s cool! I really think you are starting to get more attention.
Rin: Definately.
Kaname comes to the classroom.
Kaname: Hey Rin!
Rin: There she is.
Kaname: Rin. After you finish your lunch, would you come visit the club at the roof?
Rin: Sure.
Kaname: Good. If you join, you will find more cool things like earlier.
Rin: I see.
Kaname: Well, I gotta go!
She leaves.
Shirou: Are you thinking about joining?
Rin: Maybe, but my decision is a bit long to explain. However, I am thinking about helping them out.
Shirou: Well, as long as your decision makes you happy, then I am happy for you, Rin.
Rin: Thanks.
Minoru and Retasu are watching, and they both went to the main entrance outside and talk.
Minoru: Retasu, how do you feel about Rin?
Retasu: Well, we know that they were gonna use Yuki, but I hope Rin watches out for that.
Minoru: I mean, they may trick her of joining her, and I hope she doesn’t end our friendship.
Retasu: Rin is usually distracted with things that she find fascinating. I don’t wanna stop her. I don’t want to ruin our friendship.
Minoru: Me to. However, we do need to warn her about this. At the same time, we don’t want to cause drama between us and Team Phase.
Retasu: I see what you mean. I know Yuki is really aware of her.
Minoru: She tries to remind her about their meeting, but that doesn’t stop her thinking about joining them.
Retasu: Oh dear. I don’t want to call her a traitor, but for now, we have to act like we support her decision, unless of she went too far.
Minoru: Exactly.
In the student room where Team Phase are reserving, they are thinking about if Yuki should still join.
Lila: You said that Yuki is still on our watch to join.
Phase A: That is correct.
Kaname: I mean, you let her get the penguin toy.
Phase A: Yes. Even though she is unable to join, we got to have her. If she is against us, then we are against her since she has fame and can make us look awful.
Phase U: I think the second option is more correct.
Phase A: For now on, the topic about the toy or wanting her to be with us must not be spoken. It’s unsafe in this school.
Lila: What about Rin? She’s Yuki’s friend.
Phase A: She already made friends with Phase E, and looks like she could use some help.
Phase O: Maybe.
Rin comes in and sees the group.
Phase A: Welcome, Rin Rosada. This is Team Phase. A new team in Fujiwara High.
Rin: Are all of you seniors?
Phase A: Yes. This is only for seniors. I am Hiroshi, the leader of the team. I am glad you showed up and befriended with Kaname.
Rin: Yeah. Listen, I’m been thinking. I really think I can help you guys get more friends.
Phase A: (looks at Kaname) You told her all the description?
Kaname: Yes. Just like you said.
Phase A: I am glad that you decide to join. Do you have any activities?
Rin: I do have cheerleading practice every week at least two days after school.
Phase A: Well, our meeting schedule isn’t limited to after school schedule, like now, and it sounds like you have enough time to meet with us.
Rin: That’s right. What are the guidelines?
Phase A: We changed some of it, and our best description is to succeed any missions given, and on some, there are spoilers that shouldn’t be said until the time is right. Also, you must agree to make us become more noticeable and have more attention.
Rin: Yeah, I heard that you guys do want to have better school year, and I can help you guys get dates if you want to meet people that you find interesting.
Kaname: It sounds like she meets our requirements.
Phase A: Absolutely. Since you joined, we are labelled Phase “letter” on each member.
Rin: Why is that?
Phase A: On meetings, we find this more interesting and team-like, and I am called Phase A. Kaname is Phase E, Lila is Phase I, Mizuro is Phase O, and Touko is Phase U. We go by vowel letters since we know each other for a long time. You are Phase R.
Rin: Sounds amazing. Do we call each other our real names outside of meetings?
Phase A: Absolutely.
Rin: I see. I wanna ask what happened to Yuki when you guys met her?
Mizuro: She came and we had more restricted rules that she doesn’t feel comfortable with, but that’s our fault for being socially awkward. She’s right that we shouldn’t keep everything secretive.
Phase A: Yeah, but being a popular girl with a job, we understand.
Rin: Oh yeah, she really is big with fans. I’m trying to get fans too, and I am working hard to get more legitimate attention.
Lila: That’s what we are trying to do.
Phase A: Well, we don’t want to repeat a few things, but that’s what we need.
Rin: So, when is our next meeting?
Kaname: You’ll get your schedule delivered to you after school. Just meet me at the gate.
The next day, Yuki, Minoru, and Ayano are sitting at the bench by the building’s entrance.
Yuki: I can’t believe she texted us last night that she joined them.
Minoru: I knew this would happen.
Ayano: Is she still your friend?
Yuki: Nothing has happen to us yet, but I know these guys are planning something.
Minoru: Today is Gym class, so you have to see if Lila is up to something.
Yuki: I plan to. I can see if I at least could sneak up to their meeting. I know they have a meeting room just for them, but I don’t know how they reserved that.
Ayano: If she goes bad, do you want me to be your competitor?
Yuki: I would like to, but you’re not in the same schedule.
Ayano: Maybe after school. I would just to learn more from you.
Yuki: On the next after school activity, you can.
Ayano: Yay!
Minoru sees Rin coming.
Minoru: There she is!
Yuki walks to Rin.
Yuki: Hey Rin. I am curious what made you join that club?
Rin: It’s a team, and they need help to get attention. Besides, what you heard from their meeting last week is a misunderstanding. They wanted us to get legit attention almost as much as your level.
Yuki: But they said they are planning to take control of the school.
Rin: As in, helping the school like they told me. That’s what they actually meant when they told me that they would want to control the school to help.
Yuki: But did you forget what they meant before?
Rin: I think you were misunderstanding. I mean Kaname treats me so well and so as the team.
Yuki: No, I was not.
Rin: If you’re not gonna respect my decision, then I may as well move on.
Yuki: I didn’t say that. I’m saying they were wanting to use me.
Rin: And you lied to them about why you decide not to join!
Yuki: No I didn’t. What I said to them is completely true and you know that.
Rin: If you want to help them to not become what you think they are, you should give it a try anyway.
Yuki: Just so you know that it’s a difficult task, even for me.
Rin: Sure. I’ll just go to see Kaname and Retasu.
Yuki: Yeah. Go meet them.
Rin is mad at Yuki and then leaves.
Minoru: I think you should act a bit mindful about her, even though the team seems suspicious.
Ayano: I do hope Rin doesn’t stop being our friend.
Yuki: Yeah, but I know that team is up to something. I can feel that they have convinced Rin and act like the goodies just so she can join with them.
Minoru: I know Rin usually doesn’t like to break the school’s rules, so she may leave at one point.
Yuki: Probably.
Around the bushes near the conversation, Phase A was sitting down, eavesdropping the whole thing.
Phase: (Says on his mind) Rin, looks like you got the right mind. Not sure what we should do with Yuki.
Later at the break, Rin decides to see Eru in the hallway.
Rin: Eru. Look what Kaname let me borrow. A perfume.
Eru: I never thought you use perfume that much.
Rin: Well, it was just because I don’t put a lot on me or use it that often, but Kaname told me what a good amount of perfume I should use on me.
Eru smells the spray.
Eru: Smells like roses to me.
Rin: That’s right. She said that it gets others to comment me.
Eru: I see.
Rin: By the way, I like the game you showed me. It has great story.
Eru: I’m glad I showed it to you.
Rin: Well, I’m gonna see Kaname.
At the beginning of lunch break, Yuki sees Rin and Retasu talking to each other. She and Minoru are walking to her.
Yuki: Rin, we need to talk.
Rin: We discussed about the team already.
They eat outside the building and sit near the edge of the walls.
Rin: Yuki, I want you to at least be happy about my decision because I want to help those guys and they would be more of a good side. Their last school year was terrible, which made them a bit awkward.
Yuki: I get that they are awkward, but I know they are up to something.
Rin: How? It was a misunderstanding.
Retasu: What did they say to you?
Rin: They want to help the school and that was their plan and to have the best senior year.
Yuki: I understand that. I mean, I do want to help the foes too to stop going to the wrong path.
Minoru: It does require us to understand of how their lives went.
Rin: Totally.
Retasu: We solved Aki and Ren’s case.
Minoru: Honestly, I still think they are all suspicious, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stop these guys from going to that path.
Yuki: What about the conversation?
Minoru: Hopefully, they changed their minds, but I’m not sure since I don’t know them that well.
Rin: Well, they don’t seem to be socially awkward, but it’s more in trust, and maybe they were forceful.
Yuki: They were way forceful last week.
Retasu: Yeah. So how was Kaname?
Rin: She let me borrow her perfume, and I spray it and smells good.
Retasu: Cool. You smell like roses.
Yuki: No wonder why I thought you smell like chemicals.
Rin: Yuki, they don’t stink. It’s just you who think that way, and that’s why I rarely put it on since I spend time with you.
Yuki: Well, it’s your thing. I don’t want that stuff sprayed near me.
Rin: It smells great actually. You rarely smell like sweat and flatulence.
Yuki: They were accidents.
Minoru: At least that doesn’t last long.
Yuki: Yep.
Later in gym class, Yuki talks to Minoru outside while running.
Minoru: Do you have anything curious about Rin?
Yuki: She’s still friends at least.
Minoru: Yeah. I’m a little worried about her.
Yuki: Me to.
They see Lila coming to them and joined with them.
Lila: What’s up, guys?
Minoru: Hey Lila.
Yuki: So, how is it like to have Rin on your club?
Lila: Rin seems pretty nice. She’s offering to help all of us.
Minoru: That’s great.
Yuki: I heard that your rules have changed.
Lila: Yep. She’s Phase R.
Minoru: I see.
Later in the boy’s locker room, Minoru packs his stuff and heads outside. He sees Lila around the sidewalk.
Lila: Minoru, I need to see you.
She walks to him.

Minoru: What?

Lila: I want to let you know about the club I am in.

Minoru: Rin’s there.

Lila: Yeah, but how would you like to join? She’s in it already.

Minoru: Umm, I don’t really want to be in the club.

Lila: Why not?! It’s a fun club and Rin finds it interesting.

Minoru: Well, I just want to focus on my friends and…

Lila: You are not in any activities! Your friends are, so don’t be a sore loser and take a look at our club!

Yuki appears behind her and Lila turns around.

Yuki: Why are you talking to him like that?!

Lila breaks into silence while Yuki stares at her.

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Rivals.
Yuki has a new enemy and tries to get Rin to leave the club. Lila gets warned from the club and blames it on Yuki for telling on the whole team. Rin also have a bitter side with Yuki who ends up in an argument. What will happen to all of them? Tune in next time!
Edit 3/26: Alter the ending to make more sense.

Chapter 65, originally posted on March 16, 2018.

At the meeting in school, Team Phase meets up.
“Today’s the race at the class to compete with Yuki.” Phase I said.
“We are planning to have Yuki be part of our team.” Phase A said.
“Yep. She is valuable enough to help all of us.” Phase E said.
“And now, our school plans will come faster.” Phase O said.
“Definately. Hopefully, she is willing to join.” Phase A said.
Later during Gym class, Yuki and Phase I are at the track.
“Yuki and Lila are gonna start a three lap race!” Coach said.
Yuki is next to her.
“You’re ready, Yuki?” Phase I asked.
“I am! I am ready to race with my new competitor.” Yuki said.
“On your mark! Get Set! Go!” Coach yelled.
They both start racing, and her fans are cheering.
Yuki notices that Phase I is just next to her.
“Wow. You’re just as fast as I am!” Yuki said.
“It looks like it.” Phase I said.
Minoru and the friends are watching them.
“It seems like that girl is just as good as her.” Minoru said.
“Yeah. She’s right by her.” Retasu said.
The audience keeps cheering and few laps later, they are heading to the final lap.
“Been practicing during the weekend?” Yuki asked.
“Longer than that.” Phase I responded.
“Same.”
As they are running, the audience still cheers.
Yuki tries to go a bit faster than her, but still is on par, and Phase I is a few steps more than Yuki.
They both are by the finish line, and Phase I beat Yuki in the game.
“Yipee!” She said.
“Wow.” Yuki said.
Yuki’s friends are surprised that Phase I has beaten Yuki.
“No way!” Rin said.
“I can’t believe it.” Retasu said.
“Seems like her competitor is a good match for Yuki.” Minoru said.
“It looks like it.” Leon said.
The crowds claps for both of them.
Later after gym class has ended, Yuki walks with her friends.
“I cannot believe she actually beat you.” Rin said.
“Well, it’s a good thing I got a competitor. I just think winning almost all the time without a competitor makes me look too good. I am great at gymnastics and geek culture, but others are welcome to be as good as me.” Yuki said.
“She has a point.” Minoru said.
“Besides, my last competitor was Ron, who became a terrible person at first.” Yuki said.
“At least even without a competitor, your fans still love watching you and play with you or against you.” Retasu said.
“You’re right, but it’s still good to have a team who is willing to give the school a smile.
"I see.” Rin said.
The next day, Yuki and Minoru are in the classroom, talking. Phase I comes in and talks to Yuki.
“Yuki.”
“Hey Lila.” Yuki said.
“On the first break, we want you to come to the student room. We want to invite you to our meeting.”
“Sure.”
“What is it about?” Minoru asked.
“It’s about the school and to improve all of us seniors to have the best senior year yet.” Lila said.
“Cool.” Yuki said.
Phase I leaves.
“I think it’s pretty good for them to offer me to help them.” Yuki said.
“It seems fun.” Minoru said.
Yuki gets her manga from her backpack.
“I got this last night and read all of it.”
“Awesome. I think that series is pretty cool.” Minoru said.
Later during the break, Yuki went to the student room and sees the Phase Team.
“Welcome, Yuki Koriyama.” Phase A said.
“We’re glad you decide to show up.” Phase E said.
“Kaname?” Yuki asked.
“That’s right. I am part of their team.”
“Team? What is it called?” Yuki asked.
“We’re Team Phase.” Phase I said.
“We offer plans for this school, and it’s our first and only year of Fujiwara High.” Phase O said.
“I see.” Yuki said.
“We heard that you are popular for few years in Fujiwara, and we think you’re the perfect fit on our team since we heard you’re pretty helpful and athletic.” Phase A said.
“So what do you guys do for this school?” Yuki asked.
“We want to be as popular as you are, and help us on our secret plans.” Phase U said.
“You did bring you peer’s attention to Phase I.” Phase A said.
“Phase I?” Yuki asked.
“That’s me. We are usually called by a letter after Team.” Phase I said.
“It’s our way on the Phase Team.” Phase A said.
“So, what are you guys called?” Yuki asked.
“Phase A” He said.
“Phase E” Kaname said.
“Phase I, as you know.” Lila said.
“Phase O” She said.
“And Phase U” She said.
“And you can be Phase Y if you decide to join.” Phase A said.
“Thanks, but I am curious about the team. I want to know more about this.” Yuki said.
“Well, you cannot tell anyone else about this team.” Phase O said.
“Why not?” Yuki asked.
“We have secrets and we don’t want anyone else to know about this whole team.” Phase E said.
“Our plans must be kept away from anyone else. We don’t want anyone here to share plans to anyone else.” Phase A said.
“You can’t tell your friends either.” Phase U said.
“Not even this meeting.” Phase E said.
“I don’t know about this.” Yuki said.
“I thought you are trustworthy, Yuki. I think you can’t keep secrets.” Phase U said.
“Easy! Yuki, as much as we want you to be on our team, we gotta keep most of our plans and meeting a secret. You can say you are having a meeting, but you can’t tell anyone else about it.” Phase A said.
“Well, thanks, but I gotta decide.” Yuki said.
“And please don’t tell anyone that we are a team!” Phase U said.
“How is this a team if no one else knows? They will figure out that you guys have a team anyway, even if I stay silent.” Yuki said.
“I knew you can’t be trustworthy!” Phase U said.
“You guys are too secretive! That’s no point to join this club. I’m out!” Yuki said.
She left.
“Yuki!” Phase A said.
“Leave her!” Phase U said.
“You’re were a little hard on her.” Phase I said.
“So?” Phase U said.
“That’s gonna keep her away from joining our team.” Phase A said.
“I don’t want her to join with us for the way she acts.” Phase U said.
“She is chosen! She got the penguin toy from the ground, and I am the leader! I choose Yuki to join and help us to succeed our goals to get what we wanted.” Phase A said.
“Now she doesn’t want to join.” Phase E said.
“We gotta change a few rules so it would change her mind.” Phase A said.
“But don’t forget, if the person who has the penguin toy, betrayed us, we make her regret everything.” Phase U said.
“She’s not gonna go in that path. She may if you keep yelling at her.” Phase A said.
“Okay. I’ll stop this.” Phase U said.
Later during lunch, Yuki talks to Minoru about the meeting.
“I’m been suspicious about Kaname and Lila. I didn’t want to make it look like I don’t like them, but they seem suspicious.” Minoru said.
“It’s better to be said sooner, but I understand. However, Lila seems to be nice so far.” Yuki said.
“Yeah, but I don’t know about their team. If they are secretive, they mostly want to use you or something.” Minoru said.
“Hmm. Well, I’ll decide to eavesdrop on them to know what they are.” Yuki said.
Phase A came and talks to Yuki.
“Yuki, we want to apologize for the meeting. You were right that we are being too secretive.”
“Okay. So why was that a thing on your team?” Yuki asked.
“It was because our previous school experience is pretty bad. Our plans didn’t turn out well. I should’ve stated that earlier.” Phase A said.
“But if you guys want help, why not work hard and do something impressive to bring attention like what Lila did?”
“We want to do other thing too. We could have a meeting after school.”
“Thanks, but I got a job.”
“Oh. Well, just talk to us.”
“Ok.”
He leaves.
“I don’t think I want to join them, but I want to know more about them. They are suspicious.” Yuki said.
“Well, just remember that if you join their team, they may want you to not be with us if they are proven bad, and if they want their plans to all be a secret, it’s most likely a bad idea.” Minoru said.
“Pretty much. I’ll keep checking on them.”
Later when school is done, Yuki walks to the rooftop, and she sees Team Phase by the edge, and she sneaks to the edge of the entrance and hides at the wall.
“You spoke to Yuki about this in public?” Phase U asked.
“I just don’t want her to think we are too secretive so she could be more comfortable to join.” Phase A said.
“But no one else should know about our school plans.” Phase O said.
“Yeah, but no one else knows our plans yet. We said we want to rue the school one day, and if Yuki joins, we will make her to do what we want, and only help to give us attention and no one else.” Phase A said.
“Exactly.” Phase I said. “Someday, if she joins us, our school plans will go exactly as planned.”
“So our job is to get her to join.” Phase O said.
“Yep. Anyone else below our level will not get attention.” Phase A said.
They started walking to the door to leave.
“Also, we can ask others to join if they are proven great for our team.” Phase E said.
“Yep.” Phase A said.
They left. Yuki got out and talks to herself.
“So they just wanna use me. I bet they are planning to bully others. I won’t allow them to do this.” Yuki said.
Later at evening, Yuki is texting at social media with her friends.
“…Yeah. They are pretty much bad.” Yuki explained.
“I had a feeling they were bad.” Minoru said.
“I am glad I didn’t join with them.”
“What does their ‘school plan’ mean?” Retasu asked.
“Maybe wanting attention because they care about themselves. They can also pick on others, and even worse.” Yuki said.
“Wow. So what will you do with that girl?” Ryo asked.
“Lila? I’ll act natural to her unless if she snaps out like their other team member.” Yuki answered.
“I shouldn’t keep this, but I had a feeling that I won’t like Lila. When I saw her and doing activities, I feel something strange about her. and so as their members.” Minoru said.
“You’re free to tell us what you think. Even though we act like good competitors, I want to know who actually feels about her.” Yuki said.
“I thought she was pretty good and shocked when she beat you.” Rin said.
“Besides the point, what happens if they snap out?” Takahashi asked.
“I’ll see what happens, but time will tell.” Yuki said.
Next day at the classroom, Yuki talks with her fans about the new video game.
“I’ll pick that game up at my job. I heard it is a big upgrade to its last game.” Yuki said.
“Cool!” Boy1 said.
Lila comes to Yuki and she sees her coming.
“Hey Yuki.” She said.
“Hey.” Yuki said, pretending to not know about their plan.
“So, we changed few rules for the team. I know that girl who yelled at you is pretty annoying, but she calmed down after school.”
“I see. Well, being the popular girl and wanting to do something that I enjoy, I don’t have a lot of time to join a team. I already have my own fanclub every wednesday.”
“Fan club? Interesting.”
“Besides, I have some homework and a job for Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I don’t want to fill things that imbalance my needs.”
“I understand.”
“Good.” Yuki said.
Meanwhile, Rin is in a student room and she is trying to take a look at her cheerleader uniform.
“It is still pretty clean.”
Kaname comes in the room.
“Hey Rin.”
“Oh. Kaname.” Rin said.
“So you’re a cheerleader?”
“For this school, yes. I joined since last year.”
“It’s pretty cute. Are you into fashion accessories?”
“Yes. I have a couple of accessories in my home, and some on my locker.”
“I could tell that your main interest is fashion.” Kaname said.
“How? Is it because of my uniform?” Rin said while showing her cheerleader uniform.
“It’s because I heard you talking to other girls about the accessories that you own. I have a couple.”
“That’s awesome. I know you’re in my class and wanna have lunch together during break?”
“Sure.”
Later, Yuki is preparing her lunch and eats it at her desk with Minoru.
“Should I tell you what I think about the game that I got last week?” Yuki asked.
“Yes. I bet it was pretty good.” Minoru said.
“I kept fighting a lot of them, the whole dark team. I used a lot of psychical attacks and I liked it.”
Meanwhile, Rin went to the roof with Kaname to eat while sharing their accessories.
“That one is cute!” Kaname said.
“I got it few months ago and Retasu said the same thing.” Rin said.
“I see. Rin.”
“Yes?”
“I wanna ask you something important.”
“Okay. What is it?”
“Before I ask you, I want you to think this through.”
“Sure.” Rin said.
“I am in a team and I want to ask you if you can join. I have other four members already.” Kaname asked.
Rin is thinking, and there is a silence while thinking.

Next Chapter: Rin’s Decision.
Rin is thinking about if she wants to join her team, which is Team Phase. Yuki is aware that Rin is spending time with Kaname and tries to warn her about her and the team. The team talks to her about the team and made Rin in a situation to where she wants to decide, despite hearing about the team from Yuki. Is Rin gonna join them? Tine in next time!        

Ryo’s Channel 1, originally posted on January 26, 2018.

This is a short of Yuki’s Story that will be at the end of each arc. The shorts are about Ron’s video channel on the internet where he and his friends does funny stuffs like pranks, challenges, and games. Ryo is the host of his channel who told Yuki he wanted to make a channel to do those videos, whether they are staged or not, but mostly is.

In Ryo’s dining room, he has a whoopie cushion and put it under the pillow at the seat by the table, and Haruka is holding the camera.
“Hello guys! I am Ryo Koriyama, Yuki’s brother, and this person is my girlfriend, Haruka, who is holding the camera.”
“Ryo, why did you put a whoopie cushion under that seat?” Haruka asked.
“Good question. I am pranking Yuki today and I took her whoopie cushion from her room so she can accidently sit on that and let it rip.”
“Sweet. Yuki is coming from school. I bet she’s coming quick.”
“Yep. To make her sit there, I got some popsicles from the store and we can enjoy it, and leave that seat for Yuki.”
“Cool. I bet she has no shame for sitting on it.”
They hear the door open.
“Yuki!” Ryo called.
Yuki comes to the dining room and sees them.
“Hey Ryo. So this is your first video?” Yuki asked.
“Yep! We were waiting for you to enjoy some popsicles I brought from the store.” Ryo said.
“Sweet!”
Ryo opens the fridge and gets it out and put it at the table. Ryo sits on the seat next to the one with the cushion and Haruka sits on the other side.
“Why don’t you sit with me, Yuki. I just want to show you some flavors in the box.” Ryo said.
“All right.” Yuki said.
She sits down and a fart noise is heard.
“What the heck?!” Yuki said.
“Hahaha!” Ryo laughed.
“Yuki, how could you?” Haruka asked.
“If that was real, it would’ve been worse.” Yuki said.
Yuki gets the whoopie cushion.
“Haha! So you set me up. Interesting.” Yuki said.
“We got you.” Ryo said.
“Yeah. I had no idea you did that.”
“It was from your room.”
“I can tell. What made you decide to prank me?”
“I wanted to make funny videos, and you have used that a lot before around high school.”
“Yep. Those were the days.”
Yuki gets a popsicle.
“You know, I brought that to celebrate my first video. I know my fans from high school are already missing me, and that’s how I decide to keep them entertained.” Ryo said.
“That’s a good thought.” Yuki said.
“We will do more videos like this and surprise them with pranks and challenges, just like what I did to her.”
“I think you learn a lot of pranks from me. That’s surprising.”
“It is. So I hope you guys enjoy this video and enjoy your day.”

His video has ended.

Chapter 64, originally posted on January 25, 2018.

In the morning, Aki went to the front gate and went to the right side of the building to sit at the dead end.
Yuki sees her going there and follows her.
Aki sees her coming.
“Aki!” Yuki yelled.
“You decide to follow me?” Aki yelled.
“I need to talk to you. We need to discuss about you.”
“Go away! I don’t want you here. You already took away my best friend and made her become like you!”
“Listen! Why is it a big deal that me and Ren made up?”
“We always hated you and I still do! Just get out!”
“No! Aki! What is your problem at the gym?! I want answers!” Yuki yelled.
“It’s none of your business!” Aki yelled.
“Ren wants to be friends with you! What did you do? Beat her up. You lost her!”
“I told you to stop talking…”
Yuki puts her to the wall.
“I don’t want to do this, but you gotta listen!”
Aki starts sniveling. Yuki decides to lower her tone.
“All I want you to do is forgive Ren. I never want to hurt you by having her become friends to me.” Yuki said.
“Yeah right! You got her to bother me.” Aki said.
“Listen! (lowers tone) I never made her hate you. She still wants to be your bffs. All she wants to do with you is to hang out with you right before this happens.”
“And you get her to bother me!”
“Aki! Has she tease you recently? Has she mock you, threaten you, hate you, hit you, harm you, or reject you? She wants to hang with you. That’s why she was going after you to be friends with you.”
“She bothers me and she did the wrong choice. I can’t believe Ren would do this to me!”
Yuki lets her go.
“Fine! You don’t understand!”
“No Yuki! You don’t!
"I would’ve forgive you on everything if you accept the fact that she became friends with me and Rin and Retasu.”
“I don’t need you to forgive me.”
“To tell you the truth, I never want you to do terrible things to anyone, especially to your best friend.”
“Yuki! Stop bringing her up!”
“NO! AKI! Listen! You should forget the past of what had happen to you! You are always angry on everything and that’s unhealthy! Also, you should be more sensitive to others.” Yuki said.
“I always held on everything! I never forgive anyone who did something to me! Not even if it’s just few years ago!” Aki said.
“Then honestly, no one should be friends with you if you think that way. You made Ren cry and you hurt her so bad.”
“Again! Stop mentioning her! I’m done with her!”
“Fine!… By the way, I’m glad you haven’t done something wrong with Minoru in your Computer Graphics class.”
“That’s because he’s your boyfriend, and he never did anything to me. We are just acquiescence.”
“Okay. Just to be sure. Please don’t do anything foolish to ‘you know who’. She’s always worried about you. That’s it.”
“Just go!”
Yuki left.
She went to her classroom to meet up with Minoru.
“Hey Yuki! How was Aki?” Minoru asked.
“The usual. She is just self minded. I can’t really do anything to change her mind.” Yuki said.
“Wow.”
Later in Aki’s class, Aki got a classwork that says she needs a partner.
“A partner. Maybe I’ll find a better friend than her.” Aki said while looking at Ren at the other side of the room.
“All right class. We are going to pair each other today and I will assign each of you a partner.”
A while later, he tells Aki who her partner is.
“Aki. Today, you will work with Ren.”
“ARE YOU SERIOUS?!” Aki yelled.
Ren shakes a little and puts her head on her desk.
“You think I will be working with HER?” Aki said.
“Aki, you are such a terrible friend.” Girl1 said.
“What about the fight yesterday?” Boy1 said.
“All right guys. We don’t need to bring noise. Aki, I decide this and you better do this!” The teacher said.“
"I WILL NOT! She betrayed me for being friends with someone I never liked.” Aki yelled.
“I do not care about your personal problems. If you want to discuss about this, talk to the counselor after lunch.”
“No! I want to work with someone else!”
“They already with their pairs. If you don’t stop acting like this, I will give you a zero on this assignment!”
Aki flips her desk and frighten everyone.
“AKI! Get outside! I can’t have you be like this!”
He takes Aki out.
“I RATHER JUST SIT HERE IN THE HALLWAY THAN WORKING WITH REN!” Aki yells in the hallway.
She sees Minoru with a hall-pass.
“Aki?” Minoru said.
“I don’t know why everyone wants me to be with Ren.” Aki said.
“I do. I think you need to.”
“No thanks.”
Minoru walks away.
Later when lunch started, Yuki and her friends went to the roof and eat with Leon.
“…so she stayed there for the rest of the class.”
“No wonder why I saw her yelling when she came out.” Minoru said.
“I can’t believe Aki is doing this to her friends without being shamed to show that to everybody.” Rin said.
“I feel more sorry for Ren.” Retasu said.
“I talked to her this morning and she is self minded.” Yuki said.
“She’s always like that.” Rin said.
“I know this sounds odd, but I know she has a soft spot. Every time she talks to me, she never yells.” Minoru said.
“She did tell me why, but she never give me a good explanation.” Yuki said.
“If you want to know how Ren is doing, she’s trying to stay out from Aki.” Leon said.
“Oh dear. I think she doesn’t want to anger her anymore, so that’s why.” Rin said.
“Yeah. Also, the teacher wrote a discipline to Aki about all this.” Leon said.
A while later, Yuki finishes her lunch and so does Minoru.
“Hey Yuki, I never thought I say this, but I wanna talk to Aki.” Minoru said.
“Why? You saw her beat up Ren yesterday. I know she’s different in your class, but she can leach out on you.” Yuki said.
“I got to. It’s the only way to stop her from getting even more angry.”
“You lack any defenses and you won’t be able to handle her.” Rin said.
“I really want to tell her to make up for Ren.” Minoru said.
“I tried that. It d…She knows that I like to protect you, so I will let you find her. It’s pretty risky, but I’ll let you.
"Sweet! I know she is lonely inside, and that’s why she’s always angry.” Minoru said.
“Well, good luck on talking to her. We don’t know where she went.” Retasu said.
“She sometimes eats at the bench on one of the side of the building outside.” Leon said.
“All right. Yuki, let’s go.” Minoru said.
They left, and they went to find her. They find her sitting alone at the bench and Yuki and Minoru are hiding by the corner of the building.
“Ok. You talk to her, and if there is anything wrong, call me.” Yuki said.
“I will. You just eavesdrop. I think I can do this.” Minoru said.
“Well, at least you’re trying. That matters.”
“Yeah.”
Minoru went and talk to Aki.
“Hey Aki.” Minoru said.
“Hey Minoru. You decide to eat here with me?” Aki asked.
“I came to talk to you. I really want you to realize that you are doing everything wrong to your best friend.”
“She did. I know like everyone else, you want me to get back to her, but I can’t.”
“Why? You hurt her yesterday and you scare her off.”
“That’s good.”
“No, it isn’t. Everyone saw who you are, who beat up her best friend for a minor problem.”
“It was a big problem.”
“You’re getting angrier since the beginning of school, and that’s why you were over reacting in class.” Minoru said.
Aki thinks on her mind.
“UGGGG! I want to tell him to leave, but I don’t want to make him cry. I’ll get beat up.”
She starts talking.
“Well, since you’re here, I do want to ask you to be my friend because…you are the only person who never betrayed me.”
“Friends?” Minoru asked.
“Yes.”
Minoru walks away for a few steps.
“You want me to be friends with you? I’m friends with the ones you don’t even like. Is that okay?” He asked.
“Well, I don’t mind.” Aki responded.
“You’re fine if I am dating Yuki, but you’re not okay with Ren being friends with her?”
“Look Minoru, I don…”
“Aki! I don’t want to be friends with someone who hates on my friends and my girlfriend! I don’t want that!”
“But Minoru. (breathes)”
“And you asking me to be your friend and doing that one same 'mistake’ that your best friend has done recently? If you treat people like this and be hypocritical, then I am sorry, but I don’t think you should have friends if you treat everyone like this!”
Minoru walks away for a few steps until he heard Aki crying.
He walks to Aki.
“Aki, I don’t mean to sound harsh…”
“(crying) I am so lonely! I don’t have someone to hang out with me anymore! I am a lonely wolf!” Aki yells.
“Don’t be like that. It’s because you push your friends away and you don’t want anyone else to solve your problems.” Minoru said.
“(crying) Minoru, the real reason why I wanted to talk to you is because I thought you were a lonely person before Yuki became your girlfriend, and I thought talking to you would relate to how I’m going through.”
“I was never that lonely. I had friends before. I know you’re feeling so lonely, but you gotta stop doing the wrong things to your best friend, even if she did something you don’t like.”
“I was just mad at her since she became friends with Yuki and them, and they had done stuff to us before and held on to that.”
“Don’t let the past define you, and move on. Yuki is such a good person. She brought me some friends and she know how much I had to go through with strict teachers, and everyone thought I was a bit lonely.”
“(crying) That’s how I had to go through before Ren became my friend since junior high. She helped me on some situations.” Aki said.
“And that’s why you should be thankful to her. She has helped you since then, and you shouldn’t deny her on any means.” Minoru said.
“She had made me happy.”
“That’s good. I really care about you because of Ren. Please get back with Ren. I wanted to save you from doing another mistake. She’s been worried about you.”
“I see.”
“And don’t get frustrated with Yuki and them. Yuki was trying not to let you disrespect anyone. If you change and do the right things, she will forgive you.”
“I was honestly a little jealous with you and Yuki because everyone knows that you and Yuki are the best couples and I’m trying to find a boy to have the same attention, but I never have got to that point.”
“Well, I know everyone is happy with us, but you gotta work hard for it. You shouldn’t push over or make your boys slaves. You gotta respect and care about them too, as a human being as you are. Also, being lonely isn’t bad. For you, that’s where you should start to learn to interact with others and care about them.”
“Although, I can see that Yuki cares about you a lot. Well, I’ll start doing better. Me and Ren like to talk to boys.”
“That’s great. You should get back to her.” Minoru said.
“Well, what if she doesn’t want me anymore?” Aki asked.
“I bet she still cares about you.”
“You think so?”
“I think you can make her day happy.”
“All right.”
Yuki comes in and Aki sees her.
“Yuki. Were you eavesdropping?” Aki asked.
“Well, Minoru is pretty much right. I will forgive you if you make up for her.” Yuki said.
Minoru nods to her.
“Well, I am being sent to Anger Management starting Monday because of what I caused.”
“I think you need it. It’s best for you to not act like this again.” Minoru said.
“I’m in so much trouble.” Aki said.
“But it’s more important to talk to Ren right now.” Yuki said.
“Well, sure.”
Aki packs up her lunch and runs to the classroom.
Aki sees Ren sitting with Leon and Oka and walks to her.
“Hey Ren. I am really sorry for all this.”
Ren does not respond.
“Ren, I really am! I’m such a fool.”
Leon stands up.
“You’ve been treating her awfully this week!” Leon said.
“Ren had enough.” Girl1 said.
“I actually want to hang with her like we used to do.” Aki said.
“She doesn’t want you here.” Girl1 said.
“Ren! Please!” Aki yelled.
“That’s enough. You give her a hard time!” Leon said.
He and the girl tries to take her out as Ren sees that.
Ren then imagines Aki back in Junior High, and was getting the same treatment with her classmates.
“Guys! Stop! Let her go!” Ren yelled.
They let go of her and Aki looks at her.
“Ren?” Aki said.
“Aki. I was afraid of you. I should’ve accept your apology.” Ren said.
“I shouldn’t be mad at you all this time. It was wrong.”
“I wanted to hang out with you. You’re always my best friend.”
“I got a lot of explaining to do.”
“So, you wanna have lunch with me here?”
“Sure. I am gonna respect you this time.”
They both hugged.
“That’s pretty sweet of you, Aki.” Leon said.
“Your friend has convinced me to be better.” Aki said.
Yuki and Minoru are by the door, watching them.
“I’m proud of you, Minoru.” Yuki said.
“And I want to say thank you for letting me convince her.” Minoru said.
Leon goes back to his seat with Oka.
“I think Minoru is pretty good for making her be friends with Ren again.” Leon said.
“It’s a good thing we became friends with him since freshmen.” Oka said.
Later after school, Aki and Ren are at the entrance of the building, seeing Aki’s ride by the street.
“(sigh) I don’t think it’s easy to get in trouble.” Aki said.
“I know, but I think you will be much of a better person who learns all her mistakes. Just take care.” Ren said.
“It’s gonna be hard spending time in anger management for a few months. I wish I can make your first week of school any better.”
“Well, at least I know you changed your mind about me, and you did the right thing to realize that you shouldn’t done something like this.”
“Yeah. Well, I got to head to my parent’s car. I may not make it through. They know how much trouble I am.”
“But at least we can still visit each other while you’re away.”
“That’s right. Also, tell Yuki and Minoru that I want to be friends with them when I come back. They taught me a lesson.”
“Sure. Bye!”
“Bye Ren!”
Aki left and she went in the car and left.
Yuki and Minoru came out from the building and went by Ren.
“She left.” Minoru said.
“Yep. She is in big trouble and even though I am her best friend, it serves her right for getting angry all of the sudden.” Ren said.
“At least she is capable of change.” Minoru said.
“Her getting pick up from her parents, those were my days back in grade school, but it does teach you to be better.” Yuki said.
“Yeah. I will miss having her here for couple of months, but she also said she wants to be friends with you two. She realized that you both were trying to help her today.” Ren said.
“Once she starts fresh after summer break.” Minoru said.
“Yep, and thanks for getting her back. I don’t know what to do if you both didn’t help her.” Ren said.
“Well, it’s important to fix friendships and relationships to anyone to save their lives and not be depressed.” Minoru said.
“And maybe when she starts dating boys, she should care about them.” Ren said.
“Totally.” Yuki said.
Later at Minoru’s room, they are playing games on his room and talking.
“So do you think it was the right choice for me to care about Aki before she changed her mind? I didn’t want their friendship to disappear.” Minoru asked.
“You did the right thing, dude. It is important to help out our foes, even if that can be hard, it’s worth it.” Yuki said.
“Exactly! We should see their good side. Aki really loves doing fanarts and says she wants to be good at it, and Ren said that she always loves her art and inspiration. They also play video games with each other. That’s why I want to get them to be friends again.”
“I love your sensitive side. I love that you care about everyone, and I am about the same because when I first met you, I know you are always a good kid. I know I said that already, but I just like helping others too, and that’s what led me to be popular along with being good at performing.”
“That’s good.”
They both kiss each other.
“That was sweet!” Minoru said.
“It is. You wanna watch a new anime together? I brought the blu ray with me.” Yuki said.
“Is it the one you told me few days ago?”
“Yep. It’s something we both can enjoy.”
“All right. Let’s watch it.
They watch an anime together at his room.

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Suspect.
Yuki has a challenge to a tracking race with Phase I, Lila. Everyone is willing to see them perform during gym class. However, Yuki is starting to get a little suspicious to Team Phase when few of her classmates are victims. How is Yuki gonna figure out that they are evil? Tune in next time!        

Chapter 63, originally posted on January 12, 2018.

At the student room at morning, Phase I closes the door and locks it as Team Phase are having a meeting.
“Yuki Koriyama, the popular girl, has got the penguin toy yesterday.” Phase A said.
“So she is the chosen one?” Phase O asked.
“Yes. She will become our member eventually and will help us to reach our goals for this school.” Phase A said.
“Okay. What if she doesn’t want to be part of our club?” Phase E asked.
“Well, that toy has a lot of meaning. She will be our attention to help us.” Phase A said.
“She did bring in some fans to get my attention by competing with her at the gym.” Phase I said.
“And that’s why we want her to be on our club. She will help us on our school plans, our goals, and most importantly, rule the attention of the school.” Phase U said.
“Exactly. We won’t just go out and ask her immediately. We gotta seduce her to join.” Phase A said.
“By seducing, you mean getting her attention.” Phase E said.
“That’s what I’m saying. Someday, Yuki will become one of us.” Phase A said.
Meanwhile, Yuki is in the front gate of the school, asking people about the toy.
“Is this your toy that you dropped?” Yuki asked Lia.
“No. I haven’t bring toys to school, but it’s cute.” Lia said.
Yuki asked Leon and Oka.
“Is this toy yours?” Yuki asked.
“It isn’t ours.” Leon said.
“Why are you asking us about this?” Oka asked.
“I found it on the ground on the side of the school after gym class.” Yuki said.
“It isn’t ours, but you can ask our classmates or yours since we both have gym.” Oka said.
“That’s what I’m planning to do.” Yuki said.
Meanwhile, Ren sees Aki at the locker and goes to her.
“Aki. I want you to feel better. I don’t want you to keep hating on me.” Ren said.
“Oh dear. REN! Why do you keep showing up?! I told you, I’m done with you! I don’t want you in my life anymore.” Aki said.
“But Ren, I am your best friend. I want you to not hate me for being friends with Yuki and them.”
“How many times do I have to say this?! You betrayed me! That’s it! You’re so delusional!”
“No! You gotta look deep down of a person to see what she actually is.”
“This sounds so cliché. I am done with you changing my mind! Get out of my way!”
Aki leaves.
“All I want is for her to accept who I am friends with and should know how good of a person Yuki is.” Ren said by herself.
Meanwhile, Yuki, Minoru, and Ayano are at the gym.
“So, who are we finding?” Ayano asked.
“My competitor, Lila.” Yuki said.
“She is almost as good as Yuki.” Minoru said.
They see Phase I.
“There she is.” Yuki said.
They walk up to her.
“Hey Yuki.” She said.
“Lila. Is this toy yours?” Yuki asked.
“Oh. No. I haven’t own that.” Phase I said, pretending she doesn’t know.
“I see. I am glad you are here to compete with me.”
“Good. The race is by friday and I plan to compete with you.”
“Sweet! I’m in!” Yuki said.
“Yay!” Ayano said.
“That’s when we have the track on our gym class.” Minoru said.
“Yep. It’s our first competition of the year.” Phase I said.
“Yes.” Yuki said.
Later during lunch, Yuki sits down with Minoru, Rin, and Retasu.
“So I asked several classmates about the toy. They all said it isn’t theirs.” Yuki said.
“Are you gonna put that in lost and found?” Rin asked.
“Well, I am gonna hold on to it in my backpack and still ask others about it.” Yuki said.
“I see.” Rin said.
Phase E left the room and meets Phase A.
“Yuki have been asking everyone about the toy.” Phase E said.
“I see. I’ll get one of our members to make up a story while not saying that we got it for her.” Phase A said.
“All right.”
After school, Yuki walks with Minoru, and then they meet up Phase U.
“Hey Yuki.” She said.
“Yes?” Yuki asked.
“I heard you’ve been asking about the toy.”
“Yeah. It’s lost. Is it yours?”
“No. What really happened is that a man carries a bucket with a lot of those toys filled in so he can donate them. He came across me and asked me if I want the bunny one and I got it. I saw him dropped it after tying his shoe by a distance. I didn’t know that he left it.” Phase U said.
“Wow. So it’s no ones.” Yuki said.
“That’s what really happened. He was there before the last period when I was outside.”
“Well, thanks for telling me.” Yuki said.
Minoru looks at her, thinking himself about her.
“She seems to look suspicious. Is it the same with Lila?” Minoru said in his mind.
“No problem.” Phase U said while showing her bunny toy.
“That’s cute.” Minoru said.
“It is.”
“Well, I gotta head home, so goodbye.” Yuki said.
They all left and at the bench by the building, Ren goes up to Aki again.
“Aki.” Ren said.
“Oh No. No. Ren! Can you hang with someone else, like Yuki instead of me?” Aki said.
“You’re my best friend since junior high.”
“Not anymore. I’m going home, and you better not follow me.”
Aki leaves.
“Aki. Please don’t be like this.” Ren said.
The next day at morning, Yuki comes with her scooter, and everyone takes a look at it.
“Hey guys! You asked about my scooter, and I brought it.” Yuki said while holding her helmet and leaning on her scooter.
“Wow! That looks amazing.” Boy1 said.
“That is really cool!” Boy2 said.
“So nice.” Girl1 said.
“I got this last year and it rides very well. I could make it to my work so early.” Yuki said.
“Sweet!” Boy2 said.
“Will you have one of us ride with you on that thing?” Girl2 asked.
“It’s only one, and I would love to take you all to your location, but I rarely have passengers. If I do get a car, then I’ll think I can carry several of you to a ride.” Yuki said.
“Amazing” Boy3 said.
At the hallway, Ren sees Aki looking at the window.
“Yuki. You took my friends away and brainwash them, and now you are grabbing everyone’s attention right now.” Aki said.
Ren walks away a little bit.
“I don’t think I should talk to her. She’s already mad.” Ren said.
Leo walks and he is near Aki. Aki decides to turn around and sees him.
“Hey there. You wanna make a friend?” Aki asked.
“Umm. Okay.” Leo said.
“I am Aki.”
“Leo. I am in Takigawa’s class.”
“I see. Do you have anything else today?” Aki asked.
“I am free at lunch. Maybe we can talk.” Leo said.
“Good! I am glad we just met. I think you are gonna be a great friend.”
“Umm. Sure. I’ll be at the roof.”
“You got it!”
Leo walks away and Aki starts walking too.
“Sweet! I think this day will get interesting.”
She turns around in the hallway and sees Ren.
“Are you eavesdropping?” Aki asked.
“Umm. Not really. I’m just checking out my calender.” Ren said.
Ren drops her phone and picks it up.
“Good thing it has glass protection with a case.”
“Whatever. I don’t want you interfering with me today.”
“Aki! We gotta talk.”
“How many times did you did? Ren! I don’t need you. You back stabbed me a month ago and I can’t believe you are here!” Aki said.
“You need to get over with the fact that I decide to be friends with Yuki. There is nothing wrong if you get to know her.” Ren said.
“How many times have I said this? NO! I don’t want you to be on my day. All right?!”
Aki walks away.
“You need to understand.”
Later after lunch, Aki went to her computer graphics class. She was happy about the lunch break with Leo.
“Lunch was pretty cool. Leo seems to be interesting.”
Aki sits at her spot and after class has started, the teacher makes an announcement.
“I want to pair all of you to get to know their creativity, and you will ask why they join doing computer graphics. Your conversation with your pair will be ten minutes.”
He picks up the board and reads each names per group.
Few lines later, he reads another group list.
“Minoru Tamara and Aki, you two will pair up.”
Minoru is shaking a little.
“Aki? I don’t feel comfortable pairing up with her.” Minoru said it in his mind.
Aki walks and sits next to Minoru while he is shaking a little.
“Minoru. Why you’re shaking?” Aki asked.
“Well…I…didn’t know we are getting paired?” Minoru said.
“It’s just pairing. I want to ask you as a part of the assignment. How is your skills for this class?”
“Umm. Pretty good.” Minoru said while shaking a little.
“Are you nervous? I don’t bite. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you have no idea who I am.” Aki said.
“It’s just that the way you treated my friends.”
“I never liked them. So? You never have done something wrong to me, so I respect you.”
“Huh?”
“I know you think I am mean to you, but I usually exclude you on situations. You never disrespected me at least.”
“Then why are you disrespecting my friends, and most of all, your best friend, Ren?” Minoru asked.
“Ren decides to be friends with Yuki, and she is the one who disrespects me a lot.” Aki answered.
“I think Yuki will give you a chance of you forgive her and her friends too.”
“Nah. I think we need to focus on our assignment. Now you ask me a question.”
“Okay. What made you take this class?” Minoru asked.
“I actually want to make better fan art. I like to make fan arts and post them online. I wanna learn more so I can make my future projects look very good.” Aki answered.
“That’s pretty good. I like to design things and like to work with geometry. That’s how you can make good proportions to your projects.”
“Interesting.”
“Yeah. I’m just curious. I think you should make up with Ren. She feels left out without you and you are the one who makes her happy.”
“Pfft. I think she can manage herself. Why are you going back to that topic?”
“Because you are making her sad and depressed. I think if you have better feelings with her, then you will feel relaxed when doing future artworks.” Minoru said.
“I already made recent artworks without thinking about…whatever that person is.” Aki said.
“Cool, but if you stop yelling at everyone and have a cool conversation just like we are, then I think you will be more relaxed.”
“Hmm. They keep picking on me, but I’ll think about what you said.”
“Please do.”
Aki thinks in her mind.
“ARGGHH! Even Minoru is curious about my friendship with Ren. I want to tell him to stop, but I don’t want to hurt that guy’s feelings. He’s Yuki’s boyfriend after all.”
Later after class has ended, Minoru went to see Yuki at the gym.
“Yuki! I need to tell you something!” Minoru said.
“What happened?” Yuki asked.
“Aki talks to me in class, and she acts different. I know we all see her as a mean spirited girl, but in class, she’s a normal person.”
“Really? I am glad she hasn’t yelled at you. What else happened?”
“We got paired and she said she took computer graphics because she wants to draw better fan arts and she has huge passion of anime.”
“Wow.”
“I even asked her a few questions. She thinks I never done anything wrong to her, and said that’s why she went easy on me.” Minoru said.
“Although, I think she also went easy on you because she knows I always protect you.” Yuki said.
“That’s what I’m been thinking.”
Meanwhile at the corner outside of the building next to the gym, Aki is by the wall and Ren walks up to her.
“Aki. We need to talk, please!” Ren said.
“I don’t want you around me anymore!” Aki said.
“I need you. You were a great friend, Aki! Why is making new friends a big deal to you?!”
“You made the wrong choice of friends! Stay out of me!”
“No. We need to discuss this!”
“I’m done with this! I can’t believe you and Ron made a wrong choice that goes against me!” Aki said.
“You should be sad that Ron is no longer here!” Ren said.
“I’m glad he did, because he betrayed me like you did!”
“You should think about our hearts! Remember we had great times with each other?”
Some of their classmates are watching them.
“I don’t care! Stop rubbing it in on me! I’m tired of you going up to me and bring the same subject all the time!” Aki said.
“I care about you! We were best friends! I-I can’t believe you don’t care about me anymore all because I had done one thing!” Ren said while bursting into little tears.
“To be friends who hates us! Listen Ren! I don’t like you anymore! I want you out of my life for good!”
“You shouldn’t.”
“And right now, you go!”
“Please Aki! Remember the fun times we had together?! I thought we were great friends before this!”
“I SAID NOT TO REMIND ME OF ALL THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE GONE!”
“NO! AKI! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!” Ren shouted.
“NO! I AM ABOUT TO BEAT YOU UP!” Aki yells at her.
“NO! NO! AKI! WE’RE BFFs!”
Aki pushes her to the ground and hits her multiple times.
“I WANT YOU OUR OF MY LIFE!!!” Aki yelled.
She keeps pounding her several times until Yuki comes in and grabs Aki away from Ren on the ground.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Aki yells at Yuki.
“What’s it look like you’re doing?” Yuki said.
Ren gets up.
“You’re all right?” Leon asked Ren.
Ren cries and runs off to the locker room.
“What is your problem?” Leon said.
“We thought you both were bad, but you can’t change.” Kyanna said.
“You are the worst person I saw!” Boy1 said.
Yuki let go of Aki.
“What kind of a jerk you are? Why did you do this?” Yuki asked.
“So she would be out of my life, for GOOD!” Aki said.
They booed her. Leo comes in to talk to Aki.
“Aki. I changed my mind. There will be no hangout this weekend.” Leo said and leaves.
“TRAITOR!”
“What is going on with you? You only cared about her making friends with me and this is what led you to be like this?” Yuki asked.
“Hmm…” Aki hummed.
Everyone starts to leave and Minoru saw the whole thing. Yuki walks back to him.
“I can’t believe she did that. Poor Ren.” Minoru said.
“She has gone insane.” Yuki said.
“She was actually a different person in my class. I didn’t expect her to be like this.”
“It’s all right. I still believe you. I don’t think we can do anything about her.”
“Looks like you’re right.”
At the gym locker, Eru sees Ren crying at the corner of the room.
“Hey. Want some tissues to clean yourself from bruises?” Eru asked with tissues.
“They are marks of where I got hit. Thanks. You’re so helpful.” Ren said while taking the tissues.
Later, they are outside, practicing their workouts, and Aki sits at the bench instead of doing the activities.
The coach talks to her.
“Aki. You’re not doing anything and I heard about your fight. How disgrace! You will be running at the track alone until I call you.” He said.
“But it will be the entire class!” Aki yelled.
“Well, you picked on your best friend. Now get out there and run at the track for the entire time and I better not catch you taking a break.”
“Darn it.”
Aki left.
Ren walks around the sidewalks, and sees Aki heading to the track.
“I gotta stop thinking about her. It’s best that I don’t talk to her anymore.” Ren said to Rin.
“Look Ren. I know it’s hard to lose your best friend. I know how it feels.”
Ren cries on Rin and hugs her.
“She hurt me so much. I don’t w-want to lose her, but I have no choice.” Ren said while crying.
“I know.” Rin said.
“I hope you feel better soon. It takes a while.” Retasu said.
“The pain doesn’t hurt much, but my friendship does.” Ren said.
Yuki runs around and jumps too.
“This is what I would like to perform after school. I can’t wait for friday.” Yuki said.
“Yeah. You got your challenger and first activity of the school year.” Minoru said.
“Hey. Even if this challenger can beat me or not, I’m glad that I still compete for fun.”
“You got it. That’s your spirit!”
Minoru sees Aki walking away.
“Aki. What have you done.” Minoru said it in his mind.

Next Chapter: Aki’s Temper
Aki loses it after kicking Ren out of her life. She seems more angry than she was before the fight. Aki dangers herself to be more angry in her class. Meanwhile, Yuki and Phase I have a challenge at the track at friday. What can stop her from getting angry all the time? Tune in next time!        

Chapter 62, originally posted in January 1, 2018.

During Spring Break, Yuki, Minoru, and Ayano are going up the hills together.
Ayano runs to the top to be the first one.
“Wow! This trip is pretty exciting.” Ayano said.
“It is. We’ve made it around the hills at the park.” Yuki said.
“That sounds great. It is the last hill that we’re visiting today.” Minoru said.
“So, have you camp out before?” Ayano asked.
“I would, but I never had any chance to do it. Maybe this summer, we can.” Yuki said.
“Knowing you, you would set up your own base alone.” Minoru said.
“Yep. I actually want you two to come along to experience what it would be like to sleep outdoors with tents and sleeping bags.” Yuki said.
“Maybe we will experience this more as if we are Pokemon trainers.” Minoru said.
“Totally. I would go a lot of places and do a lot of cool things.” Yuki said.
“And we will have good trips.” Ayano said.
“I’m sure we will have the same experience if we start camping out.” Yuki said.
“Yeah.” Minoru said.
Later at Minoru’s house, they are at his backyard.
“School is in a few days. I am psyched to start high school with you two!” Ayano said.
“It’s pretty fun.” Minoru said.
“And it’s gonna be totally our best school year yet.” Yuki said.
“It will. The good thing is that we are seniors and close to finishing high school, even though we will miss everything in Fujiwara in a year.” Minoru said.
“I agree. Ayano, are your friends going there too?” Yuki asked.
“Yeah. In high school, do they hang out with everyone from freshmens to seniors?” Ayano asked.
“Yes. It’s not like Junior High where you mostly hang with everyone on the same grade.” Minoru said.
“And you can join any club or do activities without being on a certain grade.” Yuki said.
“That’s great. It’s amazing that I can experience a little more freedom.” Ayano said.
“That’s what I thought when I started high school.” Minoru said.
“Are any teachers nice? I don’t want to have the one you had before who send you to the office.” Ayano said.
“I think you won’t. Sadly, I did, but I got out of it. Maybe you will get a teacher who isn’t like her.” Minoru said.
“I hope so. I really wanna see you play after school.” Ayano said to Yuki.
“There is plenty of that for a year. It’s gonna be a lot amazing during your freshmen.” Yuki said.
“Cool.” Ayano said.
They talk more in the backyard for couple of minutes.
Going to Monday morning, Ayano wakes up and she is having breakfast.
“Hey Minoru. Today’s the day!” Ayano said.
“I know. You will love it.” Minoru said.
“I packed everything last night. I got my papers for my locker.” Ayano said.
“That is great.” Minoru said.
Later, Yuki gets out from her house, and walks while talks to herself in her mind.
“Today is our special day. We are becoming seniors! We got Ayano in it and all of our buddies are in. We are close to become adults. I have five months left to be one! My relationship with Minoru is still strong, and my friendship with Rin, Retasu, Eru, my classmates, and all my fans, are amazing! I am still gonna be queen of geeks and athlete.
When Yuki comes to the front gate of the school, she sees Minoru and Ayano coming.
Ayano runs to Yuki.
"Hey Yuki!” Ayano said.
“Hey guys! You seem so happy.” Yuki said.
“Yeah. I came prepared for this school.” Ayano said.
“It’s great that it’s gonna be our only best year to shine.” Minoru said.
“Yep. I was just thinking about it.” Yuki said.
“It will be great. I gotta tour Ayano.” Minoru said.
“Yeah. I also need to talk to my fans too.” Yuki said.
They see Ren coming in with a box, and Aki walks around the gate and sees Ren next to her.
“Aki. What is the box for?” Ren asked.
“Since we are no longer friends, I decide to give you these. They are your stuff that you give me!” Aki yelled.
“No. Keep it. Get over it.” Ren said.
“NO! You and Ron betrayed me. That’s why I decide to return all of your stuff!”
“But some of these are a gift from me for you to keep.”
“I don’t need you anymore! I will get more friends and boys who are better than any of you!”
“Seriously, I think you’re overreacting.” Ren said.
“No I’m not! I am going away. Keep this box because I’m putting it to the ground and I’m now walking away.” Aki said.
She runs to the building.
“AKI!” Ren yelled.
“What is wrong with that girl?” Ayano asked.
“She’s just crazy because it’s a long story.” Yuki said.
“Ren, are you all right?” Minoru asked.
Ren picks up the box while crying.
“I don’t know i-if I will have a-a good senior year.”
“It will be okay. That won’t be the only thing in your senior year.” Ayano said.
“Thanks.”
“Shall we go to your new locker?” Minoru asked.
“Yep!” Ayano responded.
They went apart to do their things.
Meanwhile, five new students are at the student room for their club.
“Since this is our first and only school year to stay, we must do great to have our audience.” Phase A, Male, the boss of the Team Phase.
“And we must help succeed to do what we want, and to help each other.” Phase E, Female, the fashions designer.
“If anyone else prevents that, we must despise and haul that individual.” Phase I, Female, the athlete.
“No one will ruin or take away what we want.” Phase O, Female, the love interest.
“As a club, we must stick together and rule the school one day.” Phase U, Female, the girl that takes after school activites seriously.
“Good. We will have a good senior year. It will turn out to be awesome. One day, we will have almost everyone else to realize that we are worthy.” Phase A said.
“Yep! Shall we see what class are we having?” Phase O asked.
“No need to. I already got papers for our classes.” Phase A said.
He put it on a desk.
“Separation has succeed, which is what we wanted.” Phase E said.
“Of course. We must do better in this school, because our last school wasn’t so well.” Phase U said.
“Believe me. I have plenty of plans and written scenarios on my briefcase.” Phase A said.
“Good! Looks like we all are good.” Phase I said.
At Yuki’s classroom, Yuki and Minoru went in and sit down at their desk.
“Same teacher, and same friends in a row for a new grade.” Yuki said.
“It’s always a coincidence. I’m glad Rin, Retasu, and Eru. At lease some of your fans from last grade’s class made it here.” Minoru said.
“Yep.”
Phase E comes in the classroom and finds a desk to sit.
“My new class. I hope this works out well.”
Eru comes in.
“Hey guys.” Eru said.
“Hey Eru. I’m glad we got in the same class again.” Yuki said.
“Me to. How was your tour with Ayano?” Eru asked Minoru.
“Pretty quick. I just show her the locker, gym, classrooms, and the nurse.” Minoru said.
“Yep. Speaking of nurses, we have health inspections next week.”
“I never pass any of them.” Minoru said.
“I think you’re pretty healthy, boy.” Yuki said.
“I think so too.”
Later during class, the teacher ask everyone to introduce themselves. Yuki comes up first.
“Hey class! Most of you know me already, I am Yuki Koriyama, the popular girl in school who is great at sports, shares help with others, and geeking out with friends. I think we are gonna have a great senior year!” Yuki said.
Everyone give applause besides Phase E.
“A popular girl? Hmm.” She said it in silence.
Next, Minoru comes up.
“I am Minoru Tamara, Yuki’s boyfriend. I really like to help others and give my advices to them, and I like to do some creativity like graphic designs, models, cooking, and drawing.”
They clap for him.
Next, Rin.
“My name is Rin Rosada. I am happy to become a senior to work hard on our goals. I really like to think about fashions and I am taking cheerleader lessons.”
Next, Retasu.
“Retaus Mitsuki, I’m just known to be a smart and wise girl who likes comics and tv shows, and I like taking test challenges and singing.”
Next, Eru.
“Eru Hibika. Umm…Well…I want to make more friends and I am the one who…umm…created the gaming room at the third floor so that all of you can enjoy games and stuff. I want to be a game developer.”
Next, Lia.
“My name is Natalia, but I go by Lia. I do sport activities like Yuki and I just love running and do baseball, and I want to be the best baseball player someday.”
Next, a boy names Leo.
“I am Leo, and I am new to this class. I attend the same activities as Lia and I like to be the manager.”
Next, Kyanna.
“…I pretty much open to concerts and working out and dreamed to be a star.”
Later, Phase E comes up as the last person.
“My name is Kaname and I am new here, and I want to be well known in the school by the end of our school year.”
They clap and she returns to her desk.
“It’s pretty great to know each other. I am glad you all are civilized.” Takigawa-sensei said.
Later at lunch, Yuki and Minoru are eating with some fans.
“It is pretty great so far.” Yuki said.
“Yep. We got our electives after lunch. It’s pretty cool.” Minoru said.
“I can’t believe we just move on very soon.” Boy1 said.
“Yeah. Hey Yuki, what is your plan for gym today? It’s our last class for the day.” Boy2 asked.
“We’ll just see what our coach has for us.” Yuki said.
At the hallway, Ayano and Eru bump to each other.
“Hey Ayano!” Eru said.
“Eru. How was your day?” Ayano asked.
“Pretty well. I just opened my game room today and I must go there. I am in charge today.”
“Cool. I was just going to have lunch with my friends.”
“Good. It’s a prefect time to reunite your friends in a new school.”
“Yep.”
At the roof, Team Phase are having lunch together.
“Our first classmate to introduce herself is Yuki. She claimed to be popular and everyone cheered for her after that.” Phase E said.
“What is she like?” Phase A asked.
“Very great at gymnastics and hobbies that are manga and games related.”
“You have gym for the last class of the day?” Phase I asked.
“Yes.” Phase E answered.
“Great. Let’s see if she like a challenge. Maybe it will win my attention.”
After lunch, Minoru went to Computer Graphics and sees Oka.
“Hey Oka. Did you sign up here?” Minoru asked.
“Yes. I did. Me and Leon share the same class besides here.” Oka answered.
“Sweet. I heard that you have gym class next, and my class does too.”
“That’s good. That means Yuki is gonna perform well today.”
“I bet.”
At Yuki’s elective in the performing room, she is taking the performing class.
“Hey Yuki!” Kyanna said.
“Hey. I am glad to be assigned here. I think this class will get me some promotions for my job.” Yuki said.
“Cool. For me, I want to be an idol.”
Rin and Retasu takes Cheerleading class.
“This is out second time taking this class, and on a higher level.” Retasu said.
“Yeah. This is exciting.” Rin said.
Phase E and U came to their class and Phase A is at Yuki’s elective.
Later, they went to their gym class and they play some activities in the gym.
“What game shall I start with?” Yuki asked.
“We got ball tossing, volleyball, basketball, and the workout.”
Some guy is going to Yuki.
“Yuki, someone here wants to challenge you!”
“Really?” Yuki said.
“Who is it?” Minoru asked.
Phase I comes.
“Yuki Koriyama! I heard you are the best female athlete in Fujiwara High.”
“Yes. You’re correct. Who are you?” Yuki asked.
“My name is Lila and I want to challenge you to some games here!”
“Sure. Let’s get to it.” Yuki said.
Their first challenge is rope climbing.
“Ready?” Yuki asked.
“Sure!” Phase I said.
They both climb on the rope that is hanging from the roof, and the fans cheers for both of them.
As Yuki and Phase I are climbing, they both made it to the top, but Yuki is an inch high.
“Wow!” Her fans are surprised to see a competitor who is almost as good as Yuki.
“That is surprising.” Minoru said.
“I know. At least he won.” Rin said.
Another challenge is hanging. Yuki and Phase I grab the bar above them and hang on them with their arms as they both jump.
“We’ll see who can hold the longest.” Phase I said.
“Yeah.” Yuki said.
The fans watches them holding the bar.
“This might take a while for either if them to break down.” Retasu said.
“Well, it’s a good thing that she has a competitor. It’s getting interesting because she haven’t had one for over a year.” Rin said.
Minoru sees Phase I and thinks on his head.
“Hmm. Is she really a good person?”
A minute later, Phase I let go of the bar and jump down.
“And the winner is Yuki!” Boy1 said.
“Wow. That is impressive.” Phase I said.
Yuki decides to jump down.
“So, is there a third challenge?” Yuki asked.
“Arm wrestling?” Phase I asked.
“Okay.”
They both sit at the table and her fans are surrounding them to watch.
“Ready?!” Phase I asked.
“You bet!” Yuki said.
They start to arm wrestle, and Yuki notices that Phase I is almost as strong as her, which have both of them feel the pressure.
“So you’re highly trained too.” Yuki said.
“Yeah. Just like you.” Phase I said.
They continue to arm wrestle and Yuki slowly pin her arm down to the surface.
“Winner!” Yuki said.
“Darn it!” Phase I said.
They cheer for Yuki.
“Thanks for watching, guys! Don’t forget, give applause to this new girl. She’s just about as good as I am and she is my new competitor.” Yuki said.
Phase I starts to smile.
“Wow. I never thought you are that popular, Yuki.” Phase I said.
“It’s the work for how much you cared about them.” Yuki said.
“Really?”
“Yes. It’s a very long story, but believe it.”
A while later, Minoru talks to Leon and Oka.
“I’m glad your class has the same gymtime as ours.” Minoru said.
“We’ll be happy to play each other.” Leon said.
“And to see Yuki play with a new competitor.” Oka said.
“Yeah.” Minoru said.
He sees Aki and Ren a bit far in the gym.
“Is Aki and Ren in your class?” He asked.
“Those two? Yes, and Aki give herself a bad introduction.” Leon said.
“My name is Aki, and my friend just let me down, so you guys are welcome to be a better friend of mines than her or Ron, and please ask me out.” Oka said while trying to do Aki’s impression.
“Wow. Has she been yelling?” Minoru asked.
“She kept refusing Ren and treat her as a nobody.” Oka said.
To Aki and Ren, Ren tries to talk to her.
“Aki, we can make up by playing volleyball. I know you’re good at it.” Ren said.
“I said leave me alone! I will never make up to you.” Aki said.
“Why being friends with Yuki such a big deal?”
“You don’t get it! They are big idiots who hates us, and look what they done to you!”
“I don’t hate you. I want you to get over it.”
“No way! Just leave me alone.”
“No. I want you to be what you were before I became friends with her.”
“I would’ve act the same way as now. My school resolution is to not see you anymore, and I don’t care if you are in my class, you are nobody!” Aki said.
Aki walks away and leave Ren crying in the ground.
Minoru and his friends sees her from far.
“Aki has been like this during our breaks.” Oka said.
“Well, she is in my computer graphics class and she acted ok because Ren isn’t in it.” Minoru said.
“I see. Maybe we can help out Ren later on.” Leon said.
Later after gym is over and Yuki came out from the gym locker room and sees Minoru at the pole.
“Hey Minoru. Ready to walk home?” Yuki asked.
“Yep!” Minoru answered.
They start heading out and as they are around the side of the school, they see a penguin toy on the ground.
“Someone left it here by mistake.” Minoru said.
Yuki sees a guy at the bench.
“Hey dude, is that your toy?” Yuki asked.
“That one? It isn’t mine and I haven’t seen anyone who dropped it by mistake.” Phase A said, as no one knows him yet.
“Ok.” Yuki replied.
“What should we do?” Minoru asked.
“I’m gonna hold on to it and ask anyone tomorrow if they dropped this.” Yuki said.
“Hopefully, the owner gets it.”
“Yeah. The toy is pretty cute, right?”
“It sure is.”
They left.

Next Chapter: Aki’s Fight.
Aki and Ren gets in a big argument that makes Aki destroy her greatly. She is tired of Ren being around and wants to get rid of her in school for good. Meanwhile, Yuki tries to ask several classmates about the penguin toy. What will happen between these girls? Tune in next time!        

Chapter 61, Originally posted on December 17, 2017.

Yuki and her friends are at gym class, and sees Yuki and few other opponents play basketball, and Yuki shoots several hoops.
“I got 10! That means I made it!” Yuki said.
“How did you get so good with athleticism?” Boy1 asked.
“Takes lot of practice as a performer since I was a kid.” Yuki said.
“Amazing!” Girl1 said.
Meanwhile at the hallway, Ren walks to the girl’s bathroom, and sees Aki.
“Aki, couldn’t you accept the fact that I started being friends with them? You know, Yuki and them.”
“You betrayed me! Remember we used to try to sabotage and worked hard to make them miserable?!” Aki yelled.
“They’re not bad. We got to understand them…”
“NO! See, this is what they did to you! I never thought you would be completely on their side!”
“But aren’t you tired of hating on them?” Ren asked.
“Are you serious? Look what they done to us, especially Yuki! Even if all of that is just a past, they are still the same as we first met them!” Aki answered.
“But we didn’t really understand how…”
“I bet you don’t. Just leave me alone, and I’m heading back to class.”
Aki leaves.
“Aki. Please.” Ren said to herself while worried.
At lunch, Ren talks to her new friends, and Yuki and Minoru are concerned about her friendship with Aki.
“She doesn’t even want to listen. I tried to get her to be friends with me again, but she is too angry to listen.” Ren said.
“Aki needs to grow up to learn about choosing what’s right. I really hope she gets back to you soon, even thought she was harsh to us before.” Minoru said.
“I do too.” Ren said.
“What does she do on her own since she stopped being friends with you and Ron?” Yuki asked.
“I don’t know. All I see is giving tantrums to others, and tries to ask few boys out, and yells at them for refusing to, since they are afraid of her.” Ren answered.
“Just to understand that it isn’t your fault to decide to be friends with us.” Minoru said.
“It’s fine, just like I said. I usually made up with my foes after a while.” Yuki said.
Ryo comes in and talks to them.
“Hey guys! This is my final week of Fujiwara High.” Ryo said.
“We will sure miss you.” Ren said.
“So, what did your fans do for your final week?” Yuki asked.
“My fans wants my pic with my autograph, and I gived them chocolates for free.”
“Sweet. Your fangirls are gonna miss you, right?” Ren asked.
“Just the ones who are not going to graduate with me. Also, my friends who are not seniors already are too.” Ryo said.
“I can’t wait to see your ceremony.” Minoru said.
“Yeah! For seniors, the best week is the final week. I finished my exams, and we are just having fun in my class, thinking about what we did since the beginning of Fujiwara. Oh well. Time to move on.” Ryo said.
“At least we see you when we visit your place with Yuki.” Minoru said.
“And how is Haruka?” Yuki asked.
“She’s doing the same thing. Right now, she is getting everyone to sign her yearbook.” Ryo said.
“I signed yours this morning. How much did you get so far?” Ren asked.
“Plenty. I had a line this morning and yesterday, and I just let others sign it for a short time between classes.” Ryo said.
“Wow!” Ren said.
“I’m getting mine for my senior year. All I got now is signature tabs for everyone to sign it. I got a lot in gym class, and same in my break times.” Yuki said.
“Yeah, I even signed yours.” Minoru said.
“The first one.” Yuki said.
They both laugh.
“So, how is Aki?” Ryo asked Ren.
“Still not so well. Aki isn’t really open minded.” Ren said.
“Sorry, girl. Well, I am gonna miss this place, but I heard that I am gonna have more fun in my future college. Good thing it’s not that far from here.” Ryo said.
“Yeah. I heard that it’s pretty good, and it has several lobbies and souvenirs.” Minoru said.
“Oh yeah. It has more. I gotta go back to check what Haruka is doing. See ya” Ryo said.
“Good luck!” Yuki said.
“Well, it’s our turn to be seniors.” Minoru said.
“Yeah. We got to do more activities in our senior year. It’s the blast!” Yuki said.
“Absolutely.” Minoru said.
Meanwhile, Rin and Eru are playing games at the game room.
“This is my favorite game. I have this back home.” Rin said.
“Me too. I think this is a good idea to set up a game room here.” Eru said.
“So, what made you create it for this school?” Rin asked.
“I just want a club that have friends enjoy gaming in the club. I actually want to be a game developer.”
“Cool! We could just have fun here during our senior year. All of us.”
“Yep.”
“So, your house paid for this?” Rin asked.
“Well, my family decide for me to start the club. They want me to socialize to others since they think I need to be more social. They did find donated game consoles and send it here.” Eru said.
“I see. It’s a good thing that you set this place for free, and bring donated consoles.”
“Yeah. We just found those.”
Meanwhile, Retasu and Takahashi are at the roof, having lunch.
“This will be a year from now that we will be here. We gotta do a lot of fun activities in our senior year.” Retasu said.
“You’re right. We gotta do the fun stuff. I can’t believe we will be seniors.” Takahashi said.
“Me too. Cheers to us to enjoy the last minute on our junior year. My brothers are graduating.”
“I heard. Looks like they are helpful for you. You learn from them to know how their life is gonna be since they are a year ahead.”
“Yeah. It’s true. They are really good brothers. Also, we will have strong relationship too.”
“Yep. I am glad you are really smart and understandable. I think we already have a strong relationship.”
“It’s good to hear.”
Retasu hugs him, and they both have lunch.
After school is done, Yuki heads to her job, and cosplay as Nancy Makuhari from Read or Die, and she goes to the store, role playing for the magazine shoot.
“That was a good acting, mam. Now your job is done.” Employee said.
“All right.” Yuki said.
She left the store, and she came across a girl who is playing as Lucy from Fairy Tail. She is talking to others, and role plays too. She then turns around and Yuki notice that Aki is that girl.
“Aki?” Yuki said to herself.
She decides to continue walking and Aki sees her walking away.
“Oh yeah. She works here.”
She decides to follow her to talk to her.
“Yuki! Yuki!”
Yuki turns around and sees her.
“Umm, Aki. Look, I work in this plaza.” Yuki said.
“I already know. I can’t believe you stole my best friends.” Aki said.
“You need to listen to them. I don’t have time for this.”
Yuki continues to walk away, but Aki still follows her.
“Come back! Yuki!”
“Can you stop following me? People are gonna think you’re weird for yelling.” Yuki said.
“Just so you know, you are the worst person I ever met in school. I can’t believe you interfere my time.”
“I didn’t. Just get away and go back to do some role plays for the magazine.”
“I’m just here for fun. I’m just gonna go back then.”
“It’s about time.”
Yuki went to the storage room to get her bag and rides home from her motor scooter.
Later, she and Ryo are playing video games at her room.
“I can’t believe Aki decides to react that way. She’s more crazy than when I met her.” Ryo said.
“She needs a break. I knew she was into cosplaying, but she broke character by having school as a subject.” Yuki said.
“Wow. I have two days left until my ceremony. Tomorrow’s the last day.”
“Yeah. You are gonna spend time with everybody who knows about you, because you are easy to be friends with.”
“Just like you. This is what you are gonna do next year.”
“Totally. At least I have plenty of time to think of what to do in my senior year.”
“You sure will. I also want to tell you something.” Ryo said.
“What?” Yuki asked.
“Since me and Haruka are having a bit more free time from next week, we decided to be vloging and filming online.”
“Cool. Sounds fun.”
“We will do a lot of fun activities. Since we are doing that, you wouldn’t mind being in it at some?”
“I don’t mind. You can film me on a scene and do pranks if you are planning one. You can film me sneezing out milk or morning hair fuzz if you want. I just like to show what is happening and to be true to myself.”
“That’s what I like about you. You are really brave and you saying all that, me and Haruka’s thoughts are the same.”
“Well, maybe your videos will be getting hits.” Yuki said.
“Yep. For some pranks, we can script them.” Ryo said.
“Totally. That way, it just makes the video more acceptable.”
“Exactly. Remember you push me to the mud puddle as a kid?”
“We were playing with each other., and I got dirty too. It was a prank.”
“You are really great with pranks as a kid, and they are harmless.”
“So, it’s good to help out for your videos.”
“Good. I’m glad you are willing to help.” Ryo said.
“That’s what siblings do, dude.” Yuki said.
“I always like that you do. It was amazing that you got me and Haruka together.”
“It was a piece of cake. You both had a crush on each other, so I decide to lie to you both that to meet me at the gym, and you both happen to go in and meet.”
“That is sweet, but you’re such a great little lier.”
Ryo playfully pushes Yuki’s shoulders and they both laugh.
“And you are very supportive. I enjoying sharing activities with you, and you make as great meals as Minoru does.” Yuki said.
“He’s very fun. Looks like you have others to feed you good meals.” Ryo said.
“You both have good recipes.”
“We do.”
Yuki sees the boss on the game.
“This boss is pretty challenging. I can do it, and so can you.” Yuki said.
“Ready to defeat it?” Ryo asked.
“Absolutely.”
They played and defeated the boss together.
“It was pretty good.” Ryo said.
“Look how it explodes.” Yuki said.
“Yep, for one of few hardest bosses.”
“It was fun.”
Later at night, Ryo and Yuki are getting ready to sleep. They are at the hallway.
“I gotta crash. It was a fun night.” Yuki said.
“It sure was. See you in the morning.” Ryo said.
“All right.”
Two days later, they are at the ceremony to see Ryo and Haruka graduate. They are at the seats.
“It’s pretty great to see him achieve further.” Yuki said.
“It’s true. He’s gonna have a lot of experience by the time you graduate.” Minoru said.
“Yeah. He’s the guy who shares his experiences.”
“That will be the same for my brothers.” Retasu said.
“They’re pretty good at scholarships.” Rin said.
“Maybe when we all do, we should celebrate our party.” Yuki said.
“It will be the best one ever.” Rin said.
The ceremony starts by showing all the graduates. They see Ryo coming in to the field at the stadium.
“Ryo!” His fans yelled.
“Hey guys!” He responded.

“Are you excited?” Rin asked.
“Yep!” Ryo yelled.
He and the graduates sits down. The announcer comes in to talk at the microphone.
“Welcome to Fujiwara High School Graduation Ceremony. I am the principle and will be moving on right now like all these graduates.”
Rin got curious.
“So, he is leaving?”
“Seems like it.” Retasu said.
“Has a new one been elected yet?” Minoru asked.
“It may be announced during our spring break.” Eru said.
The principle speaks more.
“The students here are really fun and unique. Parents, your kids are wonderful on our school.”
Many minutes later, the seniors are started to be called for their diploma.
“What do we plan for him?” Yuki asked her parents.
“He wants us to offer us an expensive restaurant.” Her mom said.
“Ryo said he wants to thank us for helping him out.” Her dad said.
“That’s what he said to me. It’s awesome.” Yuki said.
Few minutes later, they called Jen and Ken.
“Yes! Way a go, brothers!” Retasu yelled.
Ken whistled.
“Wow. That’s a nice whistle.” Rin said.
“They are pretty fun.” Retasu said.
Retasu’s parents takes pictures of them receiving their diplomas.
“Yay!” Retasu cheered.
Few minutes later, Ryo came up to the stage to get his diploma.
“Awesome, Bro!” Yuki said.
“You made it!” Rin said.
Ryo notices them.
“I love their support.” Ryo smiles.
Yuki’s parents take pictures of him holding the diploma.
“It’s a pretty great shot.” Minoru said.
“It is. He will be proud of seeing this.” Yuki’s father said.
“I bet he will say that it’s pretty great.” Yuki said.
“Absolutely.” Retasu said.
After the ceremony has finished, all the attendance and graduates are crowding outside.
Ryo are with his friends, signing autographs on his new school shirt while Yuki, Minoru, and Yuki’s parents are near him. Eru, Rin and Retasu are hanging out with her parents and brothers.
“I can’t wait to have this graduation next year. It will be the best.” Yuki said.
“It’s best to think about your future graduation with a sibling who just already did.” Minoru said.
Ryo comes in and talks to them.
“Hey guys!” Ryo said.
Yuki hugs him.
“It was pretty good!” Yuki said.
“It is. I never went this far before.” Ryo said.
Yuki let go of him.
“Yeah.” Yuki said.
“We are so proud of you!” His mother said.
“Your graduation made our day.” His father said.
“I’m glad you all enjoyed it. Where did the rest of your friends go?” Ryo asked Yuki.
“They are hanging with Retasu’s brothers.”
“I see.”
“Minoru, you want to take a picture of Ryo, Yuki, and us?” Yuki’s mother asked.
“Sure. I like to help.” Minoru said.
Haruka runs and comes in.
“I made it. I got a lot of friends missing me and I gotta tell them goodbye.”
“Good. I was gonna tell my parents to wait for you to take a family photo.” Ryo said.
“Sweet!”
Yuki’s father lends Minoru his phone to take a picture of the whole family.
“Ready. Set!” Minoru said and then takes a photo of them a few times.
“Good! It was pretty good.” Ryo said.
“What about a picture with you?” Yuki’s father asked Minoru.
“I would, but who will hold the phone?” Minoru said.
Rin, Retasu, Eru, and Jen and Ken came in.
“Hey guys!” Retasu said.
“I can help you take a family photo.” Eru said.
“That will be great.” Minoru said.
They all take turns taking pictures with Ryo, Haruka, and Jen and Ken.
“This has got to be the greatest moment on our lives.” Haruka said.
“Yep. Definitely.” Yuki said.
They all hangout at the rest of the time outside with the graduates. Yuki says goodbye to some of the seniors and Ryo does the same and tells them to watch his future videos.
An hour later, they drive home and Yuki and Minoru hangs with Ryo and Haruka.
“So, where did Rin and Retasu went?” Haruka asked.
“To Retasu’s house for her brother’s celebration.” Yuki said.

He comes in with a cake in the box.
