--------------------After School--------------------

The cool summer breeze made Kosaki Onedera's hair wisp around. She was walking toward the nearby café with her group of best friends and two of the transfer students. Right now, everyone was busy talking to the new pair, Natsu and Lucy.

Kosaki couldn't help but notice how cute they look together. 'Sort of like Ichijo-Kun and Chitoge-Chan....'

"Come on, Kosaki-Chan! Introduce yourself!" Said Chitoge, tugging at her sleeve.

"Uh, my name is Kosaki Onedera. It's nice to meet you." She said, shaking hands in turn with Lucy then Natsu.

"Hey Lucy, are you planning to be in the swimming team? It would be a lot of fun." Said Shu, with a perverted gleam in his eyes. Ruri punched his face.

" Don't even think about it, kono hentai Baka." She said, coolly straightening her glasses.

" Hai, M'lady..." Said a swollen faced Shu. Lucy giggled and turned to Chitoge.

"What's this about the swim team anyway?" she asked her.

*Long story short, he just wants to see you in a swimsuit, " the blonde replied, rolling her eyes. Everyone laughed.

"Hey, Kosaki," a quiet voice from behind her said.

"What's up?" she asked. He gestured for her to come closer. She fell into step beside him, leaving the rest of the group to walk on ahead.

"Is it just me or do you like Raku?" he asked suddenly. Kosaki turned bright red, and immediately started fiddling with her fingers.

"No! What made you s-say that?" she stammered.

"Well, the way you keep staring at him, it's plainly readable on your face."

"I....well....," she sighed. Maybe being frank was the best solution.

"You got me," she said, raising her hands in surrender. Maybe she could tease him a little too....

"But do you realize that looking at Lucy-chan like that makes your feelings so completely obvious?" she said with a smirk. A deep red blush crept up Natsu's neck as he scratched his cheek.

"W-w-what are you talking about?" he stuttrred, running off quickly to catch up with the others. Kosaki chuckled, than ran off behind him back to the group.
