No, I'm not~~

Subaru : Lying

No, I'm not~~

Subaru : Just stop repeating the same sentence

Okay-'

Subaru : -,-

Yume : Let's start the story!!

So, my dear readers, this is it! The next chapter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Orihime's POV ; 21:30

"Gakuen Mother, why don't you let me join the boys?"

"Bepp-sensei, like what I've said, you're too old to be with them", I said sarcastically

"You really are mean, Gakuen Mother", he cried

Now, we're walking to the cafe nearby

"Really, am I?", I asked, keep focused on the road

"You are, Gakuen Mother!", he shouted

"And how come you called me mean?", I asked, "I let you sleep with the other teacher from other schools so might make some new friends, or if you're not happy with it, should I rather let you sleep on the lobby instead?"

He gulped, "No, no, Gakuen Mother! Sorry!!!"

"Then just stop saying that I'm mean", I said, "I'll treat you one drink"

"Oh great, Gakuen Mother! Thanks!!", he exclaimed, what a childish-man

CRING!

"What do you want, Gakuen Mother? I'll order it for you", Bepp-sensei said

"Whatever you like", I said as I searched for a place to sit

"Well..umm..Gakuen Mother", I looked at him, "The money", he grinned

Sweatdropping.. For real?!, "Here", I gave him some money

"A minute!", he said and went away

Now, I'm searching for a place to sit until I saw a girl and a boy sitting face-to-face on the table next to the window and walked up to them

"Hoshimiya, Suzukawa?"

While on the boys' room (Nobody POV) ; 21:40

"I..can't...sleep!!", Asahi said

"Me too", Subaru added

"Me three", Kanata continued

"Me four", Sena added

"Me five", Nozomu spoke up

"Seems like everyone is still alive...I mean awake", Shun laughed awkwardly

Now, they're lying on the place where they're supposed to sleep at; Asahi on the bed; Subaru, Kanata, Sena, and Shun on the floor; Nozomu on the sofa (if you wonder why the arrangement like that, check on the previous chapter for the reason why)

"Yeah.. I wonder where did Nao-nii go!? Any clue?", Subaru asked

"Maybe he is with her?", Sena said

"You think so?", Shun asked

"I bet he is with her!", Sena said surely as he got up on sit position and looked at Shun that sleep beside him

"Who is her?", Subaru got up into sit position with the rest members of M4 followed him

"How much do you sure about your theory?", Shun asked looking at him

"99%", then he shooked his head, "I'll give you 100%!!!", he said with much confidence

"Umm... I'm asking here, who is her?", Subaru asked again

"Then we got the same perception, 100% that Nao is with her!", Shun said as he got up and had a glass of water

"Oi! I'm not selling nuts here! I'm asking!!", Subaru shouted, offended because of being ignored by the two of them

"Oh, Subaru? What?", Sena now looked at him

"With whom is Nao-nii right now?", Subaru asked

"Also, you guys keep on mentioning 'her', who is her?", Nozomu then spoke up

"Yeah, who is her?", Kanata asked

"I want to know, too", Asahi added

"Oh! She is Ichigo-chan", Shun answered them

"Ichigo Hoshimiya", Sena added

"Ichigo...Hoshimiya?", Subaru murmured

Sena nodded, "The one with a bunny hair band"

"Ah! That one! That has shining golden colored hair", Asahi added as he looked at them

"Yeah, you're right"

"Is she the one that tomato always mentioned about?", Subaru asked

"Tomato?", Shun and Sena asked in unison

"Yume Nijino, a girl with ombre hair", Nozomu added

"Ah! The one that Ichigo-chan introduced as her sister, right?", Sena guessed

"Yeah"

"Why do you call her 'tomato'?", Shun asked

"Because she is a tomato, especially when she is mad", Subaru chuckled

"Actually that's a nickname that Subaru gave her", Kanata smirked

"Nickname, heh? Tell me your relationship between her", Sena patted on Subaru's shoulder lightly

"Friend! No more, no less!", Subaru stated

"But it will be more soon", Kanata added

"No way!", Subaru shouted and the rest laughed

"Back to the problem, are they dating?", Subaru asked again

"Who?"

"Nao-nii and Ichigo Hoshimiya", Subaru said

"Well..not now, but maybe later", Sena said

"It's only the matter of time, once Naoto already has the courage to tell her his feelings", Shun explained

"Does Ichigo-san like him too?", Nozomu asked

"Hmm..maybe yes, maybe no", Sena said

"I can't tell, she is kind with every guys that she knows", Shun said

"You got that point", Sena smiled

"How if she doesn't like him back?", Asahi asked, concerned, "He might have his heart broke"

"Well..we still don't know about it", Shun said

"But, if she does like him, they'll be dating", Sena sighed, "Guess that's the end of my love story"

"It will!", Shun laughed a little

"Your love story? Don't tell me that you...", Kanata hadn't finished his line when Sena suddenly cut him off

"Yea... I like her"

"You gotta be kidding me! Does Nao-nii know about that?", Subaru winded his eyes

Sena shooked his head, "He wouldn't know that"

"You've promised not to let her know your feelings when you know that Naoto likes her too, right?", Shun said and Sena nodded

"But...wouldn't it be hard?", Nozomu asked

"I want him to be happy since this is his first time to fall for a girl", Sena smiled bitterly, "Obviously I won't ruin his feelings, plus we're friends since we're in diapers!"

"More precisely, I think when you and Naoto still in your and his mom's stomach", Shun laughed

"Yeah! You're right!", Sena laughed

"Aww...poor you", Asahi pitied, "I hope you'll find a nice girl one day!"

"Thanks", Sena said, "Now, could you guys tell us what is the relationship between Subaru and Yume?"

"Gladly!", Kanata smirked

"Don't you dare tell them something weird", Subaru warned

"Oh, I won't! I'm just gonna tell them that you like her", Kanata laughed

"Hey!", Subaru's all red

"Subaru, you've grown so much", Sena said while whipping his (fake) tears

"No, Tsubasa-nii! I don't like her!"

"You don't like her, but you love her", Nozomu added

"Hey!", Subaru pouted

"Yume-chan also gave Subaru a nickname, she often call him 'boiled octopus'", Asahi spoke up

"Oh! Nickname for each other!? That's pretty cute", Shun said

"You two are mean to be a couple", Sena teased

"Oh don't keep on teasing me!!", Subaru shouted while blushing

"Look! Subaru is all red! It's a prove that Subaru is a boiled octopus!", Kanata teased even more

"Oh!!! Stop it already!!!!!!", Subaru shouted and the rest of them laughed  (very hard)

While in the girls' room (Starlight and Dream Academy's) ; 21:40 ; Nobody POV

"Take this!", Seira shouted

"This is my revenge!!", Kaede shouted too

"Oh! You guys!", Yurika growling, "Take this!!", as she threw some pillows to Kaede and Seira

"Pillow attack!!!", Otome shouted

To make it clear, they're playing pillow fighting now

"And the winner is...", Aoi said, "Seira and Kaede!", Kii continued

"Yes! 3 times in a row", Kaede tossed with Seira

"I..I almost win this round!!!", Yurika said, "If only you guys don't throw the pillow so hard!"

"Okay, okay, we'll make it lighter next time", Seira smiled

"If I'm not mistaken, we're supposed to be asleep right now", Mizuki said

"Aww... Mizuki, one more game please", Kaede begged

"But we have meeting next morning", Mizuki stayed with her argument

"But we're not sleepy", Kaede cried, "More precisely, I can't sleep!!"

"Well..maybe one more game won't hurt", Maria smiled

Mizuki sighed, "Okay then, but only one more game"

"Okay!", Kaede smiled widely

"By the way, I wonder why Ichigo hasn't come back yet", Ran suddenly spoke up

"Now, you mention that, I've almost forgotten about Ichigo", Aoi said

"She said that she's grabbing some drinks", Seira said

"No need to worry, she'll be back soon", Yurika calmed her friends

"I guess you right", Aoi said

"Okay, now, who's ready for the next round?!", Kaede asked, she seemed fired up!

"Me!!"

Back to Ichigo and Naoto (This is way back when Ichigo went out from her room) ; 21:25 ; Naoto's POV

We're walking together to the cafe nearby

But...this is way to quiet, I don't have anything to talk about with her

She might be wondering why I asked her to come to grab some drinks with me

But, how can I explain? I, myself, don't know why!?

"Umm... Nao, is there anything you want to talk with me?", she suddenly asked

"No", I replied shortly

"Then, why do you ask me to grab some drinks together?", here comes the deadly question..

"No reason", I replied again, really don't know what to say

"Seriously?", she giggled, "Or, perhaps, you just want to see me?", she continued ask with a giggle following

"Maybe", I murmured

"Pardon me?", she looked at me

Almost said it loudly, "No-nothing", I said as I walked faster

"Oh, Nao, you're still as cold as an ice", she said as she caught up with me

In the cafe...

"Strawberry juice?", I asked her

She shooked her head, "For now, I want green matcha"

I looked at her for a second then turn away to order, "One green matcha and black coffee with fresh, please"

A few minutes later~

We went to a table near a window to sit

And there's silence between us..

A long silence..an eternal silence (?)

"Having a new resolution?", I suddenly asked her, okay..this is nonsense

"Sorry?"

"You usually order strawberry juice or parfait or anything that related to strawberry"

Understand what I mean, she looked at her drink and then look at me again, "Just want to have this today"

"That's unusual for you", I said, chuckling

She giggled, "Really? I just want to be more mature"

"Mature? But I like your childish act"

"What?!"

"I-I mean, y-you're better as you're now", I stuttered, what have I said!?

"Well..I'm no longer a student anymore, just one more year 'till my graduation", she said as she grabbing her drink, "After graduated, I, perhaps, won't be as free as I am now"

"I see.."

"Also, I have to give a nice image as a senpai, right?!", she smiled

I nodded, "Especially, you're known as a legend now, that title is heavy to be carried"

She laughed, "I know"

"Do you have any specific things to do after graduated?"

"Well.. though I've gotten the title as legend, I still want to grab even more", she said as she looked outside from the window, "I always aims for a higher place"

I looked at her, confused, isn't she on the top now?

"The more higher I got myself, the more I will challenge myself to be even more better", she looked at the shining moon outside

"In other words, you want to escalate your career even more?"

"You got that!", she smiled at me

"Do you have any goals? Instead of work"

"Like what?", she asked me back

"Umm..something more privacy.. having..umm..someone special perhaps?", I've tried to make her understand

"Do you mean having a boyfriend?", YES! Exactly what I mean!!
But control yourself, Nao

"Something like that"

"Well..that.."

"Hoshimiya, Suzukawa?", someone suddenly called us

"Ah, Headmistress Orihime", she got up and bow, "Good evening"

"Good evening, just sit down please. Don't need to be so formal", headmistress laughed, "Am I disturbing both of your time?"

"No, no, Headmistress! You're not"

"Want to join us, Headmistress?", I invited

"No need", she refused, "I don't want to bother the both of you", she smiled

"So..do you want some drinks, Headmistress?", Ichigo asked

"Johnny-sensei has ordered mine", she replied, "So..if I may ask, what are you two doing here at this late? Missing each other after having a long distance relationship perhaps?", she chuckled

I know that Headmistress is just fooling around us, but that really gets me. In other word, I'm red now

And little did I know, she is, too...

"Ara, why are the both of you suddenly blushing? I'm just kidding and you might know that, unless what I said is true"

"Y-yeah..I know that already", Ichigo giggled awkwardly

"Gakuen Mother, here's your drink", Johnny-sensei suddenly called and went towards to our table, "Oh, hi, Coolkawa  teacher and Starmiya-honey!"

"Hello, Johnny-sensei", Ichigo replied him with a smile

"Why are guys doing here? Dating?", Johnny-sensei smirked, he really is searching some problems with me

There's 2 seconds of silence before Ichigo speaks up, "Th-that's not possible I think", she laughed, "Love is forbidden for idols"

"That rule is no longer exist in the idols' regulations book", Headmistress suddenly said as she took her drink from Johnny-sensei, what does she mean?

"Eh?", Ichigo confused

"So, tell me if you two have known your true feelings, whether you will still stick to the old rule or having a revolution", she told us and then left us

"Good luck, Coolkawa teacher!", Johnny-sensei gave me a thumb up as he walked away with Headmistress

After they had left..

"What was that supposed to mean?", she asked me with a confuse look

"Who knows? I don't even understand myself", I said

"Tell her about our true feelings.. what is she trying to tell us?"

"Nobody knows"

"Stick to the old rule or having a revolution..does Headmistress mean that there're several changes in the regulations book?", she asked me again

"Don't know"

"You're supposed to know that since you're a teacher", she pouted on me

"I never looked at the regulations book", I replied her

"Geez, Nao, please be warmer instead of being a cold-ice-man", she grumbled

"Well...", I put my elbow on the table and put my chin on my palm and then gave her my warmest smile, "Let's have our drink done and better went to bed earlier, tomorrow you'll be having meeting. I don't want you to be sleepy and affected your appearance and performance, you've to keep your stamina on to cheer up your fans"

"Do you understand?"

She looked at me for a couple seconds an then nodded and looked down to her drink

"Good girl", I smiled and reflect rubbed her head, gently. I've tried not to be a cold-ice-man

When I looked at her face, I saw a crimson red color on her cheeks, and automatically my face turned red as well... looks like I've gone too far

"I-I'm sorry", I said as I looked away and covered my mouth and nose, revealing my eyes only

"I-it's okay", she said, still looking down to her drink

And there continues the long yet embarrassing night of silence...

While... (Yume's POV)

KRIET

I sighed after I closed the door

"I can't sleep", I mumbled and started to walk out with pajama on me and also my bear

I know that I should have already in my deep sleep but I can't, I'm just too excited for this vacation...

"Yo, tomato!"

I looked and saw...that boiled octopus, "I have a name!"

He laughed, "Where are you going this late?"

"Don't know, somewhere out there?", I said, wondering around

He looked at me for a while, "Can't sleep?", he asked as he walked up to me

I nodded

"Something's bothering you?", he asked again as we're walking through the hallway to the entrance door

I shooked my head, "Perhaps because I'm very excited about this vacation"

And then there's 1 minutes of silence

"How about you? What are you doing here?", I asked as we went out from the resort

"Same with you? Can't sleep, too", he replied

"Oh.."

And then we kept silent again..

This is weird! Usually, he will keep on teasing me whenever we meet
But this time, he felt a little bit quiet

"I know that I'm handsome, you don't have to stare at me all the time", he smirked, knowing that I'm staring at him

I quickly looked in front, "Don't be too over confident, I'm not staring at you because you're handsome", I mumbled, "You just look a little bit quiet"

I believe that he was looking at me after I said that..
Now we're standing in front the resort, looking at the star

"Do I?", he asked and I just nodded

He looked back to the stars and then smiled, I don't know why, perhaps he has lost his sense😂😂 #kidding

"Miss my voice?", I feel remorse after saying him quiet, now he is teasing me

I facepalmed, "Like I will.."

He laughed again and then smile, "I know you will..someday", he said teasingly

"It will never happen"

"It can be", he said again

"I say it won't"

"It will, though only 1% I think"

"Yeah, 1% perhaps!"

"Well..it's better than nothing!", he said again playfully

"Then it will decrease until zero!"

"Don't do that!", he cried

I laughed, "Okay, if you stop teasing me"

"Then, it'll increase until 100%?!"

"10% maybe yes", I giggled

"Oi! -,-"

"Kidding", I laughed and he sighed and laughed too

It's rare to see him laughed a lot like this...

After done laughing, we both look at the stars above us

Nobody POV

"The stars are shining beautifully", Yume said

"Yea", Subaru said though he took a glance on Yume when he said that

"I hope I can shine as beautiful as them", Yume hoped

"You don't have to", Subaru said and succeed to get Yume's attention then he looked at her, "You've shone beautifully"

Yume's POV

What!? What did he say? Seriously? Is my hearing start to lose its ability? For real?

"Heh?"

He suddenly smiled then took of his blue jacket that he had worn and unexpectedly he placed it on my shoulders, "You'll catch a cold if you're out for long", he said as he went back to the resort

While me..I'm still shocked by his sentence and his sudden action

Is that really him?

I looked at his back that slowly faded as he got into the resort then I hold the edge of the jacket that he put around my shoulders, "Sometimes, he can be nice", I smiled

Meanwhile... (Subaru's POV)

What! Have! I! Done!!!

Am I losing my sense by saying that embarrassing sentence!!!??
I must have gone crazy!!

And then putting my jacket on her shoulders like an action that I saw on an anime that I've been watching lately?! ; NB: I'm starting to watch some romance anime😂😂

"It's very embarrassing", I believe 100% that my face is red right now..

I was walking to my room when I passed a small cafe that we've gone with the others earlier, "Some drinks might relaxed me for a while", I said as I got into the cafe

I walked up toward to the cashier, "One cold chocolate please"

After I've gotten my drink, I was searching for a seat when I spotted two familiar figures

"Nao-nii?", I called him when I reached their table

"Su-Subaru?!"

I looked at the girl that was sitting in front of him, "And you...Ichigo Hoshimiya?", I widen my eyes perfectly when I saw her, "Nao-nii! You really really really are with her!! Tsubasa-nii and Shun-san's prediction is super duper correct!!!", I got excited myself

"Wh-what?", Nao-nii sweatdropped

"You..", she suddenly spoke up, "I know you!", she exclaimed, "You're Yume-chan's boy friend!"

And PUFF! I'm a boiled octopus now, "I'm not her boyfriend!", I denied

"Heh?", Nao-nii was smirking at me

"I mean boy and friend, not boyfriend", this person surely know how to tease someone-,-

"O..oh", I facepalmed

"It's nice to see you here, what are you doing?", she asked

"Having a drink?", of course I'm not saying that I was with tomato

"Well..wanna join us?", she asked

"Umm..I see that you two might be busy right now, so maybe next time?"

"Well..we don't have any specific things to do, are you sure don't want to join us?", she asked again

"Yeah.. It's really fine", I replied her, well, nice choice Nao-nii, she really is a nice girl

"So..", I opened my mouth, try to ask them something, "Are you two dating?"

There's a pretty long pause between all of us..
Then suddenly their face became red

"We're not!", they both replied in unison

This is interesting, "Oh..really?"

"Yeah! 100% not dating!", Hoshimiya-san made a cross sign with her hands

"Stop with dating thing, I'm done with that word", Nao-nii grumbled

"Agree...why does everyone keep asking us if we're dating!", Hoshimiya-san cried

"Because you two look perfect for each other", I said teasingly

"T-that's not true!", Nao-nii denied, "Like I've said, I'm not going to date any students at school!"

There's a deadly silence between the three of us after he said that, Hoshimiya-san looked down to her drink after that
This is the most awkward situation..

"Well..if you say so..guess I'd better go to bed now", I said, trying to end the conversation, "Night"

And I left them..

That baka (stupid) Nii! Why did he say it in front of her?! It might make her won't turn at him!

I sighed heavily as I got in to my room

What a night?!

Back to them..

Naoto's POV

Okay..this is a long silence, the longest one

She's only rubbing the edge of her cup and sometimes churning it with her straw also occasionally looked out from the window beside us and she's been doing it for the entire time

Did I do something wrong?

"Suzukawa-sensei, I need to head back to my room, it's getting later", she suddenly spoke up, "The others must be wondering where am I now"

Wait, what?
She wasn't using my first name instead of my last name and called me sensei, that's pretty weird

"Uh..well okay"

"Is there anything else you need?"

"Ah..umm..nothing", I replied her

"Well..good night, Suzukawa-sensei", she stood up and then left me..alone

This isn't what I was expecting..
This is weird..
This is strange..
I don't understand..

'I'm not going to date any students at school'

I get it.. I said it loud..
Misunderstanding..
That's not what I mean
I asked her out because I've something to tell her..
I just want to tell her that..

"I love you..", I mumbled out loud while staring at my cup

Ichigo's POV

What is this?
Why did I feel upset?
Why did I feel annoyed?
Why did I leave him?
Just..why?
After he said that sentence..why do my heart ache?

I was still in my deep thought while walking through the path back to my room

There's just too many questions that I don't understand, that I don't know what is it, that I don't know why do I feel that way, this is just too confusing

"Nee-chan?", someone suddenly called me, I look at the voice's owner and saw a girl was walking up to me, "Why haven't you gone to sleep?"

"Ah, Yume-chan, I've just come back from the cafe", I said, "What about you? And..", I looked at her jacket, "I thought that you like pink"

"Huh?"

"Your jacket", I pointed

"Oh! This isn't mine, I met Subaru-kun a few moments ago and he lent me his jacket just in case I might get cold", she explained as she held it

"What a nice guy", I smiled, trying at least

"Agree..though sometimes he can be annoying", she grumbled

I giggled a little, "Well, better go to sleep or we'll be late tomorrow"

"Nee-chan"

"Yes?"

"You okay?"

"Hah?"

"You looked kinda..confuse?", she said, "I mean, I saw you were thinking of something before I called", she explained, "Do you need help?"

I shooked my head and then (trying to) smiled, "I'm a hundred percent okay!"

"Well..if you say so, have a nice sleep", she said

"You too", and then we went in to our own room

22:15 ; The boys' room ; Nobody POV

BAM!

"Oh, welcome back, Nao", Sena greeted

Instead of replying, he dashed to the bathroom

"What's got into him?", Sena wondering

"Something might have happened", Shun said

The M4 members have gone to sleep except for Subaru that was reading a book on the floor, let his gaze following Naoto's shadow

"I knew it will turn out like this", he mumbled

In the bathroom (Naoto's POV)

Right now, what I think I want to do..
Is just brushing my teeth..
Do you think that I will throw things like in the movie? Well, I hope no

But still, I'll do it if I was in my own room

After I had finished brushing my teeth, I came out and went to the sofa next to Nozomu's

"Nao, you okay?", Shun asked

"What do you mean?", I asked him back while preparing to sleep

"You looked annoyed", he added

"I'm fine"

"Are you sure?", this time, it's Tsubasa's voice

"Yeah, now will you let me sleep?", I asked as I pulled my blanket up

"Sure, have a nice sleep", Tsubasa said

And I went to my deep sleep, went inside to my dream world, to where my dreams happened and came true

Day 1 of the summer vacation!
07:03
Nobody POV

M4, Sena, and Shun were walking down to the back of the resort, they're planning on having a morning swim

In the half way, they met the girls that turned out they're going to the same place, so they're going together

At the pool

There they found Naoto was laying on the chair next to the pool {with some (fan)girls looking and fangirling on him}

And here, came out a naughty plan between the 2 boys

"I think the (fan)girls deserve to get something nice in the morning", Sena smirked, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Of course, same as old", Subaru followed him smirk

While the others confuse and just watch the two tip-toe near Naoto

And in a quick move, they lifted Naoto up and threw him in to the water that made a huge splash

Obviously, it made a shock and surprise face on Nao's face

"Hahahaha!!", Sena laughed, "That's nice!"

"You should look at his face!", Subaru laughed, "It's hillarious"

The shock Naoto soon turned into a mad Naoto, "What are you guys doing?"

"Just want to give your fangirls a gift", Sena explained

"By throwing me to the pool?!", Naoto grumbled while getting out from the pool

"We mean that", Subaru pointed at him

"KYAAAA!!!!"

"Look at that!!"

"I want his belly!!"

"His abs!!!!"

Etc...

Naoto facepalmed after heard the reaction and soon realized that his white plain shirt has turned into a transparent plain shirt

"I'm going to get change", Naoto walked pass them, "But you guys will be in trouble"

"You have a punishment?", Sena asked
"You'll have a revenge?", Subaru asked

"No..but this", he pointed at the board sign that was written 'for public' and went away

"O-oh.."

"M4 and S4!!!", someone shouted

"It's Tristar!!", the others shouted

"Seira Otoshiro!"

"Aoi-chan! Ran-chan!"

"Mizuki-san!!!!"

"Subaru-kun!!!"

"Ako-chan and Yurika-chan!!"

And other shouting..

"Oh..here comes the fans!!", Aoi shouted

"Run!", Kii exclaimed

And they ran to everywhere!

While..

"That two idiots! Why do they like to make fun of me!?", Naoto grumbled while walking down to his room

BRAK!

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking on my way"

"No problem, I wasn't either..", Naoto widen his eyes when he saw the person who bumped into him, "Hoshimiya?!"

"Suzukawa-sensei?"

There's a long pause..

"Umm..your shirt"

"Oh yeah..the boys played a trick on me and here it is"

She giggled, "Here, towel, dry yourself off"

"No need, I'm going to change"

"Then you'll catch a cold on your way back to your room", then she came closer, "Also..to hide your abs", she whispered and succeed to make him blushed

"Thank you"

"You're welcome", Ichigo replied, "Well, bye, Suzukawa-sensei", and she went off

Naoto sighed, "Seems like things won't be the same like before"

While.. (Subaru's POV)

With the fans chasing us, we're running to everywhere and as the result, we're separated

"That meany Nao-nii, why didn't he tell us that we're in the public pool?! And if he knew it, why were he relaxing there from the start!!?", I grumbled and cursed and ahh!! Whatever!

"Now where have they all gone?"

"Subaru-kun?"

I turned my head to see the person who has just called me, and she's...

"Tomato?"

"Hey! I have a name! And I do believe that you know it!", she pouted, how cute

"Tomato suits you", I grinned

"Just now I saw Yume-chan went this way, let's check it out", someone's voice was heard

"Oh! Okay", the other one was heard and seems like they're walking toward us

"Ck! Follow me, tomato", I pulled by her wrist

"E-eh? Where are we going?"

"Find somewhere else to hide", I said without looking back at her

"Hey! It's Subaru-kun! He's over there!!", someone suddenly shouted and now are chasing us

"Run!", I said and she followed me

A few meters then..

"Dead end..", tomato mumbled

"I saw Subaru and Yume walking this way!", the earlier person said

Crap! What should we do?

"Subaru-kun, they're coming!"

"I know! Just let me think"

I looked at my side to find any way that probably can we use to escape and then I realize that we're in the changing room (the place for everyone who has swum to change their clothing)

BANG!

"Eh? Where are they?"

"I thought they went in here"

"Perhaps they're going that way"

And with that, I didn't hear any of their voices anymore...

"Subaru-kun"

"Hm?"

"We're..too close", she mumbled

"E-eh!?", now I'm completely blushed

Let me explain the situation

I pulled Yume into the locker with me, just to hide from the fans
And now we're in the locker, face to face, body to body
And it's so cramped here..

Once we've gotten out

"I-I'm sorry", I scratched the back of my head

"N-no need to w-worry", she said and she's stuttering! It's unbelievable

Okay..and here's the deadly silence

"Well..perhaps we should call the others to know their position", I said as I had my phone out from my pocket and walked straight away

But suddenly someone pulled me from behind and then I looked behind and found that tomato's grabbing my shirt

"Thank you", she said slowly, "For earlier"

"You don't have to thank me, I'm doing it because I've to hide from them too", I explained

"Oh well..but still, i feel like I want to thank you"

"If that's what you want, then you're welcome", I smiled

I saw a crimson red on her cheecks and I'm sure that she's not mad at me now, so does it mean..?

"Ano..Subaru-kun"

"What is it?"

"I-I.."

"Yume, Subaru! There you are!!", suddenly someone's voice was heard and she's Laura

"It's time for our meeting! Let's hurry up!", she shouted

"We'll be there!", I shouted back and then turned to tomato, "Well..for what you're going to say..let's save it for later, is it okay?"

She nodded

"So..let's go", I grinned but of course I couldn't hide my curiosity, I wonder what is she going to say

A confession?
.
.
.
.
.
What? It could be possible! Don't blame me for hoping so high

But with tomato's sense of love, it might be impossible..

After all, we can't have our morning swim, what a luck...

07:30 ; Grand Hall (there's one beside the resort) ; Ichigo's POV

Now, I, with my friends and others, are in a simple meeting room at the Grand Hall

There're 3 rooms, the first room is our school's, the second is Dream's, and the third is Four Stars'

The room is simple with four to five rows of seat forming a 'U' letter with the podium in front

"I need something for my tummy", I grumbled

"Why don't you have your breakfast?", Aoi, that is sitting on the left side of me, asked

"Thanks to you guys that didn't wake me up earlier", I grumbled again

"Then why don't you have your breakfast once you've waken up?", Ran, sitting on the right side of me, asked

"It's also because of you guys that suddenly surprised me by saying we're having a morning swim and when I was preparing my stuff, you all left me behind and when I've arrived, you all have gone to I don't even know where!", I protested, "Also that made me met him", I mumbled the last one and they didn't heard it, phew~

Aoi laughed, "Sorry, but there must be something you can eat here, they must have prepared something"

"I hope so"

"Attention please"

All of us (everyone in the room) then looked at where the voice came

"Good morning, students", Headmistress Orihime greeted

BRAK!

Someone suddenly opened the door and...

"Sorry, I'm late"

"Oh Coolkawa teacher, we've just started", Johnny-sensei went to him, "You hair..wet"

"You don't have to tell me that", he said coldly as he lifted up his wet hair that made him looked...

"Cool.."

"He's so sparkling!"

"OMG! That's rare!"

"Suzukawa-sensei with his wet hair is amazing"

That's what I heard from the first year that are sitting across us

"Suzukawa-sensei surely have lots of fans", Aoi suddenly whispered

I just nodded without giving any reaction...physically, but mentally..I'm freaking out!

He's damn hot!

"That's a band boy for you", Johnny-sensei said

"Stop it already", he said, walking away to where the other teachers sat

"Now, your attention girls", headmistress called again and started her speech

"Somehow you looked cooler today", Johnny-sensei said

"I'm just as usual as I always do"

"There's something different, perhaps maybe you're wet right now?"

"It's that supposed to be a compliment?", Suzukawa-sensei asked, annoyed

"I mean, you look hot in your wet mode", Johnny-sensei grinned

"Whatever"

"Say, you're in love, aren't you?"

There's a pause before replied, "No"

"Oh well..Starmiya, I bet you heard that", Johnny-sensei said, with a low tone of course or he will be in trouble

"W-what? Huh? I'm..not?", okay, he shocked me

Let me explain everything
How can I know what they're talking about? The teachers' seats are just next to ours, Aoi's left side is Johnny-sensei with Suzukawa-sensei that's why I..I mean the three of us heard what exactly they're talking about

"Of course we heard everything", Aoi whispered

I looked at him and he has his surprised face, seemed like he didn't know that we're sitting here

"So, are you really in love right now, sensei?", Ran asked

"Not you too, Shibuki", he replied

"Well, just curious"

"If there's really a girl that you like, it'll be something special!", Aoi exclaimed

"I'm not, really", he said

"Say, say, I know you're lying, just tell us the truth", Johnny-sensei nudged his arm, "I bet Starmiya-honey want to know about it"

"Include us", Aoi and Ran said in unison

Suzukawa-san looked at me that made me quickly looked at the other side, avoiding eyes contact

I heard him sighed, "There's someone that I got attracted at"

"I knew that!", Johnny-sensei shouted out loud that caused everyone to look at him

"Ugh..", he sweatdropped while the rest of us (innocently) turned our gaze away like there's nothing happens between us..

Sorry, sensei

"Bepp-sensei.."

"Y-yes, Gakuen Mother?"

"Is there anything funny in my speech?"

"Umm..maybe(?)", he really is in trouble

She sighed, "Are you even listening to me?"

"Uh..no(?)"

"Then I believe you're in trouble now, we'll talk after this", she giving him a death glare

"OkayT_T..", sensei replied sadly

Poor sensei

"Back to our topic", headmistress continued her speech while we listened to her carefully

"So, we're going to have our first day, which is today, by having a start off performance"

"Who is going to perform?", one of the teacher asked

Headmistress had a light smile on her face

On the same time; 2nd hall (Seira's POV)

"So the second day, which is tomorrow, our school's  representatives, who are Seira Otoshiro, Kii Seagusa, Sora Kazesawa, and Maria Himesato, will take the crowd for night!", Headmistress Tiara said with a blast! I mean really heat up

But what about the first day..I mean today?!

"Headmistress, what about today?"

Headmistress Tiara had her slightly smirk, "Well..it'll be.."

On the other same time; 3rd hall (Yume's POV)

"S4 will be in charge for the third day performance", Headmaster Moroboshi explained

I squeezed, "I can't wait for the third day!", then I shooked my head, "Em-mm! I can't wait for S4's performance!"

"Well..I am more interested in who will be on charge for the first and the second day", Laura said

"Same here", Mahiru added

"No wonder, M4 will be!", Ako said with such a lot of pride, well..that's her, still love her anyway ^-^

"But M4 will be for the sixth day", Koharu added

"W-well, I knew that already", Ako rubbed her vermilion hair

And the rest of us just giggled

"Now, you guys mentioned that, I'm curious!"

"Oh and one more thing, students", the headmaster's voice suddenly could be heard, "The schedule for the days can be seen on the board near the entrance and for your information, for the second day's performance will be held Dream Academy's representative, and for today will be..."

Who!? Who!? Who!?

Back to the Starlight Academy's students (Ichigo's POV)

The headmistress turned her head toward us, "Soleil is making a comeback"

Now, here comes the silence

"EEHHHHHH!??", the three of us shouted in unison

We're..coming back!? Soleil's rising again?!

"This is what we call..", Aoi said

"Something special!!", the three of us had our high five

"And also, for the night performance, it's time for Star☆Anis to reveal", she opened out her arms

"This is wayyyyy too special!!", now Aoi is really pumped up, but ofc, so do we!

I wonder how will it turn out!?

09:45 ; Outside the hall (Yume's POV)

"Ichigo-nee!", I ran up to her and hugged her when I saw her

"Oh! Hey, Yume", she greeted

"Good luck for your performance later! I can't wait to see it!!", I said and smiled while I was hugging her

"Thanks, Yume-chan, but I thought you would be excited even more if it comes to S4", she said

"Well..", I released my hug, "Of course, I'm excited for S4's concert, it doesn't mean I'm not pumped up for yours, and their performance is on the 3rd day", I reasoned

"Plus! You guys are making comeback!", someone's voice was heard

"A huge comeback!", the other person's voice was heard, "See! It has been the top hot topic for this morning, though the news's being broadcasted just a few minutes ago"

"Seira, Kii!", Ichigo-nee called them

"I knew it! This is going to be more exciting!", Kaede-chan suddenly came out with the rest of Star☆Anis

"Yume!", I turned back to see the caller

"Laura!", Laura and the others came toward me

"This really gets me going! Ah, also Seira and friends' performance is tomorrow, right!?", Laura suddenly faced Seira-chan

"Yaps", she gave her a smile

"Ugh! I barely can wait!!", Laura squeezed, well..this is the first time I saw her squeezing or perhaps the 2nd (?)

"Ichigo, Aoi, we must get going now", Ran-chan called, "We have a lot of practice to do"

"Already?", I asked, "But I was about to ask you for a walk on the beach"

"Sorry, Yume, maybe later", Ichigo-nee said, "See you after performance", she waved

"See you", and she's gone

Well, it's okay! The others can go with me

"Guys, to the beach maybe?"

"Sorry, Yume, Anna-sensei told us to meet her at the lobby", Laura said as she looked at Mahiru

"Oh..okay, Ako?", I turned to her but..

"Yurika-sama! Sucked my blood!!", she's a vampire fans right now, I think she can't go with me

"Koharu, wanna have a walk near the beach?", I asked, hoping she can

"I have a promise to be kept", Koharu said shyly, hmm..is she hiding something from me?

"What is it, Koharu?", I asked her, "Are you going on a date?", I asked playfully

"N-no of course", she crossed her arms and then looked down, "I think", she mumbled

I looked at her and smirked, "Well, good luck, Koharu-chan, I know that he likes you", I teased

"W-wha-no! You're misunderstanding, Yume-chan!", she shouted

"I can't hear you", I said and walked away

So now..going alone?

"You look so pity, tomato", I knew who's the owner of the voice

"I've told you for many times that my name is Yume! Yume Nijino!", I grumbled, "Or you would rather being called boiled octopus"

"Whatever", he replied, "Where are you heading to?"

"The beach"

"Alone?"

"Alone", I replied

"What a pity"

"Thanks", I annoyed

"Let me accompany you"

"Sure", I sai-what!? "You what?"

"I'll accompany you, I have free time now"

"Well, okay"

At the beach

We walked through the sand, it's really smooth

"About what you're going to say this morning, you can tell me now", he suddenly spoke up

"What I was about to say?", he nodded

"I told you to save it for later after the meeting, and I think, now, is the best time for telling me", Subaru explained

"Well.., I was just about to say.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cliffhanger!!!!

Subaru : *throwing a nine hundred and six pages book* You just showed up and then, in the end, you just give us a cliffhanger!!? And now, we have to wait? Again? For days? Months? Or even years??? *feeling desperate*

Subaru : That's it! I'm quit! *going away*

Readers don't know :

Koharu's Promise

The day before the first day of vacation

"Koharu-chan!!"

"Yes, Asahi- senpai?"

"Put that -senpai away, we're friend, aren't we?

"O-okay, Asahi.."

"Koharu-chan, let's have a walk tomorrow"

"Eh?! I-is this.."

"A date? Yes! If you think so", he grinned

"Wh-what!!?", pink shades were seen on her face

"And no..if you don't want to", a disappointed sound was heard

Because of feeling bad, in the end, she just nodded in agreement

"Yea!!! Tomorrow after the meeting!"

"Sure"

"See ya', Koharu-chan", he waved

"See you"

~end~
