Sakine walked down the empty hallways of the school. Everybody else was either at clubs or have left already, So all alone she walked on the rooftop. Then, She got a notification. A text from her mom.

'Your stepdad will be here in half an hour, get your ass here.'

Well, The usual. Sakine turns around to get to the door so she can get out of the building. Then a girl grabbed her arm and pinned her to a wall on a bench. "AH-What the.." Sakine yelps in pain.

Above her was a girl with amber hair and black streaks, black eyes and a black-and-grey checkered bandana. "Hm. Expected that you were here. Now sit."

Sakine tightened her fists. "What do you want? I've helped with my step-mom a couple of times in the kitchen, so-" The amber girl laughed. "Hahaha, Silly girl. I'm Konomi Miamoto. I'm not here for an appearance in your slice-of-life anime. I'm here to help you. I'm another student here."

Konomi smirks and she continued. "And, I rather heard that... You know Emika Bando, Yes?" Sakine nodded. Konomi continued. "Well, I heard she plans to confess her love to the student you love on Friday. That student's name is Asahi Tanaka, Corre-"

Sakine pushed Konomi off her. "W-WHAT?! EMIKA IS TRYING TO TAKE ASAHI AWAY?! I-I CANT-" Konomi laughed. "That's when I help you! I want you to foil the love confession. Emika will go over some events with Asahi over the week until Friday after school. I want you to ruin all these events without getting caught by neither of them."

Sakine slightly lowered her head. "A-Ah.. But I can't do that.. I just met her-" Konomi talked over her. "But. Asa. Hi." Sakine sighed. "O-Okay, I'll do it."

Konomi chuckled. "Right. You may go now, Your stepmom will be worried sick, sure."

Sakine ate the Italian dinner her step-father bought home, without even looking up. After that, She went back into her room and did her homework. Instead, she couldn't think. All she thought about was Konomi. Konomi, Konomi, Konomi!

Sakine knew she'd get a low grade because of her. "I'm the daughter of a man who made the worst of Akaoi history."

"I am Sakine Sakurai."
