"I can't believe you did it again, Risa." Yuuka grumbled. She and Risa are now in the student council room. The gathering place for their group.

Risa answered. "I told you. I wouldn't have done that if that brat wasn't looking for trouble.”

Yuuka glanced at Risa. "What? What's with that look? " Risa now got up with a little emotion. Put her hand in her skirt pocket. "You can't forever restrain me, Sugai-sama."

Yui looked at her two friends in turn. She sighed. Her hands are busy tuning and plucking guitar strings, trying to find the right tone. Muttered to the sound of the guitar that she played. Sometimes she wrote the lyrics she just got on paper. "Cut it out, Risa. Problem solved. Now you want to fight with Yuuka? Your parents will be embarrassed." Yui said. She put the acoustics in the corner of the room and walked over to Risa. She pushed Risa's body slowly away from where Yuuka was sitting.

Risa is silent. Not moving a single inch as Yui pushed her body away from Yuuka. Feeling defeated, the short-haired girl chose to sit on the computer table.

“After this you have to go to the principal's office. Go first, I will follow." Yuuka said. With that, Risa cleared her throat and walked out of the room quietly.

Now there are only Yui and Yuuka in the student council room. It's quiet. Nobody started the conversation. Yuuka chose to stare at the blue sky outside her window, while Yui tidied up some documents and placed them in a file cabinet. Yuuka's heart thundered. An uneasy feeling crept over her body. Several images of what would happen later flashed through her mind. What if the principal blames her again? What if the principal punishes her again?

Yuuka growled. She feel guilty. If only she had arrived earlier, maybe Risa wouldn't throw another tantrum. When Yuuka still confused by the contents of her thoughts, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her neck. She was surprised. Yui hugged Yuuka's neck gently. Her hand touched her lover's hair, stroked it gently. Yuuka responded by grasped Yui's hand. Her heart beats faster as Yui drew closer, closing the distance between them. Yui's soft and elegant scent calmed her down, for now.

After a few seconds, Yuuka said, "You don't have to do that if you don't want to." her voice were calm. But Yui knew, Yuuka actually liked that.

"My dad won't scold you like that time," she touched Yuuka's jaw so that the student council president stared at her. "And I don't mind doing this to you."

Yuuka didn't flinch. They were only a few centimeters apart. "Huh, I thought you were still uncomfortable with our status?" she said. Then she stole a glance at Yui's lips.

"Well, yes. If it's about our engagement. And I'm sure you too."

Yuuka shrugged. "I'll just go with the flow." she got up from her seat, touched Yui's cheek and kissed her. Yui reflex pulled the window curtains over them. The kiss lasted for a few seconds until Yuuka let go first.

"Sorry. I weighed you down." Yui whispered.

Yuuka's forehead creased. She didn't know what else to answer if Yui brought this matter. On the other hand she felt guilty for Yui because she could not fulfill her demands, on the other hand she felt that she was not free. She doesn't understand the definition of freedom anyway.

Finally, she said. "Let's go."

Akane, Risa, and the junior — Yamasaki Ten had already arrived when Yuuka and Yui entered the principal's room. With firm steps, Yuuka walked past the three female students and stood beside the headmaster's desk, with Yui beside her. Mr. Kobayashi Subaru — the headmaster took off his glasses. He watched the three students one by one. "Sugai Yuuka." His deep voice echoed.

"Y-Yes, sir."

"Have I ordered you to watch over Watanabe?"

Yuuka lowered her head. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry for being negligent."

There was silence again. “Your father sent you here so that you would improve your attitude, Watanabe. Too bad, even though your accomplishment going well." Mr. Kobayashi turned to Ten.

Being stared at, Ten reflex speak up in her defense. “I-I've apologized to Watanabe Risa, sir. I swear! But she kept putting pressure on me while practicing."

Risa's anger rose because of Ten's words. She pushed Ten's body as strong as she could. "Little bastard, watch your mouth!"

"Enough! Watanabe!” Mr. Kobayashi snapped. “How many times have you caused trouble since school here? I'm patient enough not to let you out of school!”

“You, Moriya Akane. On the first day of school you even made a scene with Watanabe. I expect a lot from students like you, if I look at the track record of your former school.”

Akane surprised. She did not accept it because the accusations made against her were not true. She wanted to argue, but her throat refused to speak.

“Sir, Moriya is not involved. She only separated Risa and Yamasaki." Yui finally spoke. "Yamasaki will passed out if Moriya doesn't act on time."

“With violence too? It won't get any better!” Mr. Kobayashi looked at Yuuka. “This time you failed to maintain peace in Sakurazaka, Sugai. Your leadership is truly incompetent!"

Akane frowned, as did Risa and Yui. Yuuka didn't even get into the fight at all? That's Risa's fault..

“Yamasaki, Watanabe! You guys were suspended for two days. And you Moriya..” Akane lowered her head. It can't just be kicked out! What if.. "You're on probation."

Thank God..

"All of you, get out from my office. Except for Sugai and Watanabe."

Akane looked at Ten. The kid seemed to be crying. Feeling sorry, she hold Ten's arm and took her out of the office.

Seeing the three students come out, Yui immediately let out her anger. She hit the surface of her father's table with her left hand. “You can't keep blaming Yuuka! You don't know all of Yuuka's efforts behind this to keep this school on grade!”

"I don't care. Let's see the facts, Koba. She even can't handle this small fight!”

“It's not Yuuka's fault! Risa is the one who looking for trouble."

“Shut up. Now, go back to your class!”

Yui shook her head. "I won't come back if Yuuka and Risa aren't with me."

Yuuka touched Yui's shoulder. Hinting her to calm down. While Risa only had a flat face — Yui could see a terrified expression behind her flat face.

Mr. Kobayashi sighed heavily. "Well. Sugai. Your dad won't be happy hearing this, you know that?"

Yuuka swallowed hard. "Yes." Now her feelings overcome with fear about what happens with her family later.
