While everyone was chattering about how great the match was, the bell went off as well as the break time was eventually over. All of them hastily rushed back to the class to start to the next periods.

-----------------

"Oh my! Finally, school is over. So what should we do?"

Valt was like he just came out of misery. I guess that to him, the study is something that he will never ever like.

"How about another fight? Maybe it will restore your energy."

"Yeah! Lemme call Shu and Amber. Oh, there they are!" Merrily did the male claim when he saw those two walking and talking so heartily. But right before the smol bean had a chance to call them, Wakiya had stopped him.

"Hey, what did you do that for?"

"Stop irritating others' business. Just let them go home."

Daigo quickly understood the spiky-haired male, except for the two cute idiots. Well, guess I had 2 shippers then ;)). Let's back to the pair.

"Um, Shu... are you, by chance, free tonight?"

"Well, of course. Wanna hang out, right?"

"Yes! Why do you know that I wanna hang out with you? Are you a mind reader?" The ginger said with a delightful voice staring at the white one with such gorgeous eyes. He didn't notice that he was blushing right then.

"Hahaha! No, I'm not, you silly! I just guess it, that's all."

"Really? Maybe I'm too interested in enchanted things..."

"That's not really bad. In return, it even makes you younger than you look!"

"Are you saying I'm old?"

"Wha-? Of course not! Why would I? Please don't misjudge me."

When they arrived at the gate, someone pulled Amber's hand right into them.

"Huh?!"

"What took you so long?"

It was no one else but Orochi. He nuzzled Amber, giving the albino a slight glare. He seemed to be taken over by his jealousy again.

"Hey, Ororchi? Can you stop hugging me? It's kinda embarrassing here..."

"... hello there, Orochi." He started welcoming with a deep tone as a warning.

"Same." And so does Orochi.

Amber's POV:

Oh my banana! My two best friends are talking together. Wait, they knew each other? Ugh... I should have better go investigating this long time ago. Anyway, is this how they always say to each other whenever they meet? What an odd friendship!

"Um... guys? Hello? Earth to both of you? Are you even listening to me?" I really wanted to ask them tons of questions but they were seemed to ignore me. I had to do something.

"Ah, Shu! Where will we go tonight?"

"Um... Let me s-

"What do you mean by that, Ginger?"

"Ginger?"

"Ahahah... that's how he calls me... so any decision yet?"

Orochi's POV:

Ginger? Shu? Hanging out tonight? She is so dead with me!

"You aren't permitted to hang out tonight."

"Eh? Why? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

"Don't you feel sinful to leave your friend alone?"

"But won't you have a concert with Zac tonight at about 6:00 PM?"

No one's POV:

The male soon memorized about the concert. He was speechless. Orochi wasn't always the kind that neglecting his music concerts, maybe except this time though... And not to mention, it was 5:35 PM then.

"You'd better get going, Orochi." Said the albino smirking at the brown-haired one.

"Goodbye, Ginger. Don't forget to take care of yourself." You win this time.

As soon as Orochi left, Shu took advantage of pulling Amber back into his warm arms. Right then, the ginger was blushing so hard that he could see it clearly.

"So where should we go now?"

"Ah... um... Oh, I remember! There will be a food carnival near the park which we met tonight! Can we? Can we?"

Seeing the trivial female being so hyper and eager about it, the male couldn't help but chuckle at her adorableness.

"Heh! That sounds great. So 7:30 PM tonight at your house, okay?"

"My house? I don't think that's a great idea..."

"It will be fine. Trust me."

"Okay, here's my address."

After Amber had told Shu her address, she quickly went home to prepare everything for this 'date'. But little did she know that the albino did that just to know where she lived, instead of going on and asking. To his opinion, it was really sensitive to ask about someone's privacy.

---------------

It was nearly 7:30 PM. The white-haired male was waiting for his 'date' friend to come out.

What takes her so long??

Bam!!

Behind that door was a female with a bright glamour. She was so attractive that he couldn't take his sights off her.

"Shu? How long have you been waiting?! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't take too much time."

"No no, it's okay. I had just come by the time you went out. By the way, you look lovely tonight."

"Phew. Thanks for the compliment. Now shall we get going then?"

"Of course!"

They soon headed towards the food festival which took place nearby the 'destiny' park.

The little ginger was dazzled by the vileness of the festival. She looked at everything like it was the first time she had ever been to a massive spot like this before.

"Woah!!!!!"

"First time?"

"Yeah!!! It's so wonderful! Just like a food paradise!"

No sooner did Amber just praise this place than Shu took her hands going around the festival. There were a lot of both exotic and frequent food like cheese fries, 15 patty-hamburgers, takoyaki, mochi, traditional tea, and also milk tea too.

"I can't get enough of this!! It was a wise choice to get here."

"You sure are into eating, aren't you?"

"Hehe! It's a big chance for me to fulfill this stomach. How can I possibly miss this?"

After the festival, they went to the park just to let Amber finish all the food she had bought. Around them was nothing but an idealistic scene, too perfect for a couple.

"Hey, Amber..."

"Hum??"

"I'm still quite curious about your connection with Orochi. What do you think about him?"

"Well, basically, he's my childhood friend and he's living at my place for a couple of days. An-

"Wait a minute!?! He? Staying at your house?"

"Yeah... my mom gave him authorization to stay with me while he's on a plan of traveling around the world."

"So how many days will he leave?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"... since I think it's rare for a boy to live with a girl if they don't have any kind of... what should I say? Like a couple, for an instant."

"..."

"Sorry to ask you such ridiculous questions."

"Pffftt!! Hahahaha!! OMG!! I didn't expect being asked like that!"

"... yeah, it's quite an unexpecting thing."

"Orochi and I are best friends and even if he likes me, I don't really think that's a nice idea because I'm not worth it for him to spend time with. He's more precious than anyone I could have ever met. He earns a better girl than me and I know it. And if he really likes me, he will know what is best for both me and him."

"You sound so... deep."

"Eh?! Did I talk too much?!"

"Maybe a little bit. But you used to like him, did you?"

"..."

"Am I right?"

"I can't refuse this question. In fact, I used to think about how to confess him and how to attract him but now, I know that it's all pointless."

"And why do you feel that way?"

"To be honest, I don't know."

"You don't know? Then why do you think you don't deserve him?"

"It's just that... you know? People have 2 faces, right? So do I."

"What do you mean by that?"

"How should I clarify in an easy way?..."

"Are you secretly referring that I won't be able to understand this any further?"

"No no! I'm not saying that you're dumb?!"

"You're literally saying it!!"

"Ahaha... so what I mean is that except for beyblading and singing, we don't have many things in common anymore."

"So it's hard for two 'nearly' unwilling people to get on well and to get married."

"Yes, exactly!! I shouldn't have underrated your judgment. Sorry about that."

"You're the first person to underestimate me, you know."

"I did say sorry many times!"

"So for example, what if he really likes you?"

"No need for those examples. Because I already know that he has a feeling for me but I still don't know how to reject him and ease his pain. It's quite a hard situation to deal with."

"Don't think about it and time will help you."

"Really?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"But we just knew each other 2 or 3 days ago. How should I know?"

"Well, just count on me. I won't fail you."

These are 2 new pictures I just drew a moment ago. I don't have much time to color them since I have to prepare for my mid-term test. I hope you like them!!
