3RD PERSON'S POV

July 10, 2013 10:00 PM

The gang-except Alice, Lisa and Arisa- Haru, Carl and Beck were at the living room. They kept on glancing each other until Kim cleared her throat, breaking the silence.

"What are we doing here? I'm leaving unless I know what we are doing here." Kim stood up but sat down forcefully by Pearl.

"We've got something to say." Haru stated, making Kim's ears twitch in curiosity.

"I'm listening..." She said, agreeing to what Haru said.

Beck breathed in and out. "It's about Arisa."

THUD

The telephone suddenly hit the floor.

<Arisa, can you hear me?>

Arisa was snapped back from her thoughts. Her knees suddenly dropped on the floor as tears flow from her cheek.

Why does it ALWAYS have to be ME? She thought.

Beck's POV

I breathed in and out. "It's about Arisa."

I woke up. "Ohayou, Beck..." I turned to my left and saw a half-awake Arisa, rubbing her eyes. It's strange, I saw her around four in the morning and crying on her pillow.

"Morning, sleepy head." I greeted back then kissed her forehead.

She kissed me back on the cheek. She then sat up from the bed then tied her hair in a bun.

"So here's the plan..." I said after Carl told me the directions.

"Beck... Oi... Beck..."

"Hmm, sorry I was thinking about something..." I trailed off.

She pouted as she pinched my cheeks and then leaned on me.

"Hey, you're quite heavy." I stated while wrapping my arms around her.

She giggled. "I'm not." She pouted.

I chuckled then I asked "Why are you crying around four in the morning?"

She looked at me. "W-well, I had a nightmare, that's all." She explained as she scratched her neck.

Liar. Well, if she's not telling me now, I'll squeeze it out later.

If you're wondering about what happened in Akari's debut, then it went like this:

As we entered the hall, I saw Arisa being glomped by the celebrant. After that, we have dinner, the dance of 18 roses and Arisa kept on clinging on my arm, which was weird.

I then met Riza, one of Arisa's friends. We then left there after the party ended.

"Hey, let's go to the park after lunch." She suggested with a smile, breaking my thoughts.

I nodded then she pushed me out of the room.

"Wha-" "I'll just take a bath then get dressed. You will change in the guys' bedroom." After she explained that, she closed the door with a slam. Why does she have to lie about the first part?

I then headed to the said room. I then saw Haru closing the door behind him and noticed me.

"Hey."

"Hey." I replied while looking at him.

"Are you going to the office?" I asked.

"Yeah, hope she will agree to the plan." He replied, walking away.

"Hey, is Haru talking about the party?" Carl asked.

"DUDE, where did you come from?!" I yelled.

Carl ignored my question then asked "Did she become suspicious about it?"

I shook my head.

"Who became what?" Someone asked. We turned around and saw Alice while holding a box of chocolate on her right and a garbage bag on her left.

"Nothing." Carl reasoned out.

Alice looked skeptical but then shrugged it off. Marianne then went out of her bedroom.

"Oh, hey guys." She greeted.

"Hey, Marianne." Carl greeted back while I gave her a nod.

"Do Alice and Lisa know it?" She asked as she fixes her glasses.

We shook our heads.

"Good, oh and Beck," She called me, making me look at her, then she continued, "Could you be easy on Arisa now?" She asked.

I raised my brow. "Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"I don't know but I know she has a problem." She said as she fiddled with her hands.

"So how do-"

"I am the 'mother' of the group, Beck and we're all best friends. Do you think I wouldn't notice that?" She looked at me sternly.

"O-okay, sorry 'bout that. I'll be heading now." I pointed to the guys' bedroom then continued "Arisa and I are going to the park later." I then left them.

<FEW HOUR'S LATER>

After we ate lunch, we headed and immediately changed. I waited for her from downstairs. She was at the staircase when I was about to get her.

She was wearing a white dress with a blue ribbon on the back and some white flats.

"Beck if you keep staring at me like that, flies will come inside." Arisa joked, breaking my stare at her.

"I-I wasn't staring." I huffed.

She rolled her eyes then we went to the park.

3RD Person's POV

After Arisa and Beck left, Kim sighed while Carl entered the room, unknowingly.

"Kim~ Ella, Marianne, Yuki and Lisa wants you in the kitchen." Carl yawned, with boredom.

She nodded and walked past him. "Hey, Kim..." Carl stated.

"Hmmm?" Kim turned around and was kissed on the lips by Carl.

Kim blushed furiously as she pulled out of the kiss. "W-what's t-that f-f-for?!" She hissed.

"Hehe, I just want to check if you ever changed your expression, but it still looks cute...as always." Carl gave her a grin as he nuzzled on her forehead.

"S-shut u-up! Shut up! Shut up!" She yelled as she stomped to the kitchen.

Carl chuckled as he heard some shouts from the kitchen.

"Kim, don't stir the soup furiously. You'll ruin the dish!"

"Geez calm down, Kim!!"

"Kim, calm down!"

"Shut up, I am calm!"

"Keep calm and finish the dish!!"

Meanwhile~

AT THE PARK

Arisa and Beck were lying beneath a tree, laughing, not noticing three people staring at them.

"Ugh, the PDA... It sickens me." One of them groaned and almost threw up.

"Oi, calm down Alice! We don't want them to notice us..." Another hissed.

"...even though it sickens us." Another added.

"Hey, they're gone!" The three whined.

"Well, they're not far from here. Look, Beck's motorcycle is still here."  Alice stated, lighting their hopes up.

"Let's go, Pearl, Hazel." Alice stood up while opening the chocolate wrapper.

~Meanwhile~

At the CEO's office

"So do you agree with the plan, Ms. Michiyo?"A familiar voice echoed the office.

"Well, it seems interesting. It is for my darling Arisa, Tsukiyo-san." A gleeful yet intimidating voice replied.

"Good. I'll contact Beck then-" Haru sighed in relief then was cut off.

"Oh and one thing, don't tell THAT to him. Arisa will have to announce it to everyone." She replied with a grin.

 Haru nodded. 'I hope Arisa can say it.' He thought biting his lip.

<BACK AT THE PARK>

Beck's POV

We were having fun until three people became noisy.

"It's getting noisy. Let's run." I whispered to Arisa.

"W-Where?" She asked. Before I answered I carried her bridal style then ran as fast as I can.

We stopped running at the fountain. I let her down but didn't let go of her hand.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head.

I looked at her, puzzled. "There is really wrong with you." I mumbled.

She removed her hand on mine then sat at the edge of the fountain and fiddled with her hair.

"Beck..." She spoke softly.

I slowly approached her, still confused. What does she want to talk about?

Arisa's POV

Should I tell him? I mean, we shouldn't keep secrets to each other...

"Arisa, you can say it to me." He stated as he sat beside me.

I breathed in and out. I can do this... "B-Beck, I-I'm-" I was about to say it but it started raining.

I don't know if I would thank or curse the rain.

"Let's go home. You might catch a cold here." He said, grabbing me and then ran towards his motorcycle.

How should I tell him that? I bit my lip, trying to hold my tears back.
