When the figure stepped into the doorway of their classroom the first thing that Micado smelled was the scent of cherry blossoms. There was only two girls in the entire school that used cherry blossom perfume.

One was Mia Amire, a third year girl, who liked to mess with the first year girls if she even found out they had a crush on a fellow first year boy or an older students.

The second one was the first year girl that was standing in the doorframe of the classroom.  Her black and white sailor uniform that marked her as a student of Kamiya High School was being ruffled as she fidgeted slightly.

"Chia-chan, what did you need from us?" Micado asked the girl.

Chia fidgeted a little more and looked outside and Micado instantly knew what was happening.

"Come inside and close the door." Micado said emotionlessly and Chia squeaked and followed his instructions.

"Ok so based on your body language, and your jittery nature I can correctly assume that Amire-senpai is outside with her normal sneering smirk?"

Xiang chuckled at his friend when Chia nodded, "Y-yeah she i-is, she found out I have a crush and is forcing me to give them this letter to meet me after school so they can embarrass him." She mumbled holding up a pink envelope.

Micado sighed, "Damn Xiang-Kun, you even have first years falling for you."

"I-it's not Grier-senpai," Chia said instantly after hearing Micado which made him freeze and Xiang to start smirking, "I-it's actually you Micado-senpai." She whispered with her face bright red as she messed with her skirt a little and Micado could actually read on her face that she wasn't kidding.

He groaned audibly which snapped Xiang and Chias attention to him, "Ok why do you even like me first off? and don't try to say it's, 'because your hot and older', because those are words that Amire-senpai would force someone else to use."

"W-well, you are actually hot, with the way your hair hides those cute Sky Blue eyes that dull in the sunlight, the little smirk on your lips when your teasing Grier-senpai, the way you blush when you try to hide how intelligent you are," Chia started which threw off Micado, and made Xiang start cracking up laughing at his friends bewildered expression as Chia continued.

"I like the way you can stand up for anyone that's being bullied and the bullies stand down almost immediately, the way you can deduce any problem is also another bonus as well, and I know you don't show them much but I'm sure even you can get emotional sometimes."

Micado was, for once in his life, surprised that someone actually liked him.  There was that tiny part of him that said that it was still a trick, but another tiny part of him said that maybe it's not and that he could tolerate someone other then Xiang.

"Senpai?" Micado heard and he snapped out of his trance to see Chia looking at him with a concerned look in her eyes, and could hear Xiang snickering close by him.

"Sorry, I was entirely surprised it was possible for someone to like me."

Chia's blush seemed to grow darker as Micado breathed in then breathed out to calm himself down, "Ok so first off, if that's what you see of me then you don't ever notice that the reason I hide my intelligence and that the bullies back down is because everyone hates that side of me, but they can't do anything about it because all the teachers are on my side."

"Secondly, I'm still stuck on how you know all this about me." Micado said raising an eyebrow.

"W-well I may have stalked you for a little while to learn a little bit about you." Chia mumbled softly as Micado sighed.

"Whatever," he said waving away the fact that she had stalked him before rubbing his temples, "so here's how this is going to work."

Chia and Xiang listened in as Micado started explaining, "So, can't believe I'm going to say this, I'll go out with you, but you have to go out there and pretend like I turned you down."

"After school I'll walk you home, I know you live close by because I know where basically everyone in the school lives, plus you don't ever seem to have a shortage of money or be tired in the morning, suggesting that you live really close to the school."

"Also here, keep this in your pocket." Micado finished as he wrote down his email for her on a small strip of paper and held it out.

Xiang was mostly just staring dumbfounded at his normally aloof friend.  The same one that somehow just got a girlfriend stupidly fast.  Chia meanwhile was a blushing mess as she grabbed the piece of paper from Micado's hand and held it tight.

Chia looked like she could feint any second now before she finally let her heart slow down and her color returned to normal as she smiled softly.

"Really," Chia said and Micado nodded, "I don't know how I can really respond right now, so uh I'll see you after school, Micado-senpai."

"Call me Hitori, Emie-kun." Micado said with a chuckle as Chias face went bright red again.

"H-Hitori-kun." She struggled to get out and he nodded.

"Yeah just like that, ok but seriously, Amire-senpai is probably wondering why you are taking so long, so I'll see you after school." 

Chia nodded and after her face went back to normal she slipped the piece of paper with his email into a pocket on her skirt and twisted her face to show how sad she was.

She then turned and walked out of the classroom with Amire and her lackeys on the other side of the door when it opened.

Micado could hear a little bit of the conversation before he saw Amire look into the class room and sneer at him like everyone else has done so he just waved it off.

Amire sneered then shut the door to separate her and the two boys before walking away with Chia and her lackeys.

Micado sighed and stretched backwards, "So now I somehow have a girlfriend, never thought that would happen, hope Emie-kun can keep up the act."

He turned and looked at his friend before flicking Xiangs forehead, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh, um, what just happened? I thought that a girlfriend would be the farthest thing from your mind, because she'd just be another person to deal with."

Micado shrugged which confused his friend, "Well surprisingly both my head and heart said the same thing."

"If she can tolerate us being so knowledgeable, then she's manageable to tolerate, like how we tolerate Xiang-kun." Micado said with a smirk as he saw his friends face.

"You know, there are times when I want to know what goes on in your head, and sometimes I don't, like right now,". Xiang shook his head as he stood with a smile, "anyway lunch is almost over so I gotta head back to class, see you later Hitori-kun, I'll tell mom to make you a plate."

Xiang left the classroom as everyone else came back in to start the second half of the day.  Micado yawned lightly as he turned and looked outside.

"This place just got a bit more interesting." Micado whispered to himself, not knowing just what he got himself into.
