FRIENDS
Few weeks had passed since the incident and Daiki was a frequent visitor during lunch time.
“Hey everyone.” He said with a smile.
“Yo Daiki.” Kento said
“What are you guys doing over here? You all have such serious faces.” Daiki said looking at them.
“We were trying to come up with a seven letter word.” Miyuki said trying to write down some words she knew.
“Why are you thinking about that?” he said.
“For you of course.” Izumi said smiling at him.
“Why?”
“Welll it’s our little thing we do so come and help us.” Kana said pulling up a chair.
“Okay tell me what the six letter word was.” He said looking at them.
“It was Friend.” Yuto said trying to think.
“Oh that’s easy just add an s to it and it becomes FRIENDS.” He said writing it down.
“Ah he’s right!!!” They all said looking at the paper.
“Man we are really idiots. I should pay more attention in English class.” Mimi said slapping her head with her hand.
“I can’t believe we spent half of lunch trying to come up with a seven letter word when we could have just added an s to friend.” Miyuki said looking at the clock.
“Why did you need to make friend longer anyway?” Daiki asked looking confused.
“Oh that’s our little hand signal.” Kento said holding up his R.
“Huh? I don’t get it.” He said.
“We each get a letter that spells out the word and together we make a complete word. So since you became our friend we needed a longer word to include you.” Kana explained. “So now Mimi is F, Kento is R, Miyuki is I, Yuto is E, I’m N, Izumi is D and now Daiki you are S. and together we spell FRIENDS which explains us.” She said finishing up her explanation.
“I’m so touched.” He said tearing up.
“Hey stop crying.” Kento said
“haha he’s just overcome with emotion.” Miyuki said.
As they were laughing Chinen appeared and began his announcements.
“Good afternoon students, faculty. As you all know the fall dance is just a week away so if you haven’t found a date you are pretty much planning on going by yourself at this point. Another announcement….
Chinen continued talking as Izumi stared at him.
“Izumi? IZUMI!!!!” Kana shouted
“What? What’s wrong?” she said looking lost.
“What are you staring at?” Mimi asked.
“Nothing”
“Ah! You were staring at the President.” Miyuki said with a smirk on her face.
“What Izumi you like Chinen?” Kento said looking shocked.
“No no I was just really into the announcements.” She said trying to smile.
“It’s okay if you like him. He’s not ugly that’s for sure.” Mimi said looking at him.
“Well since we are talking about crushes I happen to have one on the VP.” Kana said rather calmly.
“Okay I think that’s our sign to leave guys Kento said grabbing the other two by the arm.”
“Thank you for understanding Kento.” Mimi said with a smile.
“See you guys next period.” Yuto said waving
“See ya after school.” Daiki said waving.
“So why Keito?” Mimi asked.
“hmmm I like the strong silent type.
“Okay so Mimi do you like anybody right now?” Kana asked turning to face her.
“hmmm… yeah there is she said taking a sip of her drink.
“Okay who?” Izumi asked
“Is it Yuto, Kento, Daiki?”
“Well it is one of them, but I can tell you right now that one of them definitely likes Miyuki.”
“Eh? really I haven’t noticed.”
“Hold on Miyuki have you ever liked someone before?” Mimi asked looking at her.
“Come to think of it no.” she said smiling.
“Miyuki you are killing us, so that means you wouldn’t know if a guy liked you or not.” Kana said shaking her head.
“I guess not.”
“Miyuki you are so pure and that’s why he likes you.” Izumi said looking at her.
“Who is he?” she said looking at her friends.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Anyway Mimi who do you like?” Izumi asked.
“haha I like-“

“No fair no one is talking about me.”
