[Throughout the year, the group all became best friends. Fred had his comic book club on Mondays after school, Go Go had track on Tuesdays after school, she met up with Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and Tadashi for science club on Wednesdays after school, and Tadashi had robotics club on Mondays after school. All of them did their community service hours on Saturdays and Sundays, Fred, Go Go, Wasabi, and Tadashi did their hours at the mission center while Honey Lemon did hers in the public library and the animal shelter. Tadashi kept up with his karate lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the same time, the group was all raising money for their school's summer trip to Puerto Rico by selling chocolates and other treats. They also had science competitions, in Tadashi's case robotics competitions, and the school always won first place trophies. During the summer, their class went off to Puerto Rico in June and July and they came back just before classes started. Tadashi's new classes were Geometry, Chemistry, AP World History, P.E, Spanish II, Chinese II, English II, and Web Technology. He had signed up for the same clubs once again but had also decided to join the football team. Both he and Wasabi had tried out and had gotten the positions they wanted. Tadashi got the position of the quarterback/captain and Wasabi got the left tackle position. Tadashi was already popular because every girl thought that he was really attractive, on top of that, he was caring, funny, hard-working, helpful, honest, intelligent, and responsible. He had all A's and B's and now he was the captain and the quarterback of their football team. Wasabi didn't fall behind though, he was just as popular as Tadashi and many girls thought that he too was attractive. During the summer of their sophomore year, the group alongside their class went to France, Germany, and Greece for their summer trip. Their junior year of high school had begun and Tadashi's classes were Algebra II, Physics, AP U.S History, AP Spanish language and culture, AP English language, AP Chinese language and culture, and study hall. Throughout his first three high school years, Tadashi had gotten feelings for Honey Lemon but didn't have the guts to tell her how he felt about her and vice versa. Honey Lemon was also crazy about Tadashi but he was oblivious to her feelings for him. For the first three years of high school, they had won homecoming king and queen and the group always went to the dances as a group rather than finding dates. During the summer of junior year, the group decided to take the fast-paced Pre-Calculus to fit in higher levels of math in their schedule for their senior year. Finally, their senior year had arrived and Tadashi's classes were AP Calculus AB for the first semester and he would take AP Calculus BC for the next semester, he also had AP Physics, U.S Government for the first semester, and he would take Economics for the next semester. Tadashi also had AP Spanish Literature, AP English Literature, AP Chinese Literature, and study hall. The others had basically the same classes but Honey Lemon had AP Chemistry and her chosen electives and foreign languages. The others also had AP Physics, their chosen electives, and their chosen foreign languages. Tadashi now had a blue-black belt in karate ad only needed a few more to get to his black belt. This year, the class would have their retreat before the end of the year, they would have their prom, and would travel to Hawaii for their summer trip and everyone was so excited about all the great things about senior year of high school. Tadashi had finally made a decision, he had decided to tell Honey Lemon how he felt about her but hoped that she felt the same way about him. A couple of weeks had passed and September the first had arrived]
{With Aiko}
[She was in the school's garden on a stone bench by herself reading Little Women and just then Tadashi came up to her]
Tadashi: Hey Honey Lemon
(Aiko looked up, put her bookmark in, closed her book, and stood up)
Aiko: Hey, dash
Tadashi: How come you're all by yourself?
Aiko: Well, it's really peaceful here and classes haven't started yet, so why not take advantage of the peaceful silence
Tadashi: Oh, well, do you want me to leave, so you can read?
Aiko: No, it's ok, I'm finished with the book
Tadashi: You've read that book about a thousand times
Aiko: You know how much I love this book
(She giggles)
Tadashi: Listen, I'm glad that you're alone because I need to confess something important to you
Aiko: Sure, what is it?
Tadashi: Look, we've been best friends since the beginning of high school, I don't know how you're going to react when I tell you this, and to be honest, I've kept this to myself since the beginning of freshman year. This is because I don't want to ever lose your friendship
Aiko: Tadashi, nothing in this world can ruin our friendship, nothing at all, what's going on? Whatever it is, you can trust me
Tadashi: I know I can, you're one of my best friends and you're an amazing girl. There are so many things I love about you
Aiko: Really?
Tadashi: Yeah, I love your dirty blonde hair that smells like strawberries, your big green eyes that I can stare into for hours, your cute smile, those soft and pouty lips of yours, your contagious laughter, your soft skin that always smells like wildflowers and your delicious perfume, your flawless body, and your amazing personality. You're adorable, you're so beautiful, brave, brilliant, compassionate, funny, hard-working, honest, humble, nerdy, kind, loyal, sweet, and talented
(Honey lemon's cheeks were bright red like a tomato)
Tadashi: Aiko, by the end of our freshman year, I already had a crush on you and eventually, as the years passed it just grew, I really like you more than a friend, and I can't ignore my feelings for you anymore
Aiko: Tadashi, do you realize how long I've been waiting for you to say those words?
Tadashi: Wait, for real?
Aiko: Yes, I've liked you ever since you first walked in, from day one, I always thought you were dreamy
Tadashi: I always thought you were really beautiful, well, are
[Honey Lemon giggles looking down but then looks up into Tadashi's eyes. He looks down into hers, they both lean in, closing their eyes, and their lips meet. They share a soft kiss, Honey Lemon wraps her arms around his neck, Tadashi puts his hands on her waist bringing her closer to him, and Honey Lemon's foot pops up. After a small while, they pull away, put their foreheads together, and Honey Lemon giggles]
Aiko: I guess, um, we were both oblivious of our feelings for each other
(Tadashi chuckles)
Tadashi: I guess so
[They pull away, Honey Lemon grabs her backpack, she wraps her arm around his waist, and he wraps his arm around her shoulders]
{Inside}
(They go up to their friends)
Wanjohi: Well, would you look at that?
Leiko: The lovebirds finally confessed their feelings for each other
Frederick: Well, it's about time
(Tadhoney laugh)
Aiko: C'mon let's go to class
[The group starts walking off to class and all the girls look shocked, sad, and mad at the fact that it was obvious that Tadashi and Honey Lemon were together]
Paris: Ugh, you have got to be kidding me, Tadashi Hamada is dating that, that, that loser, instead of me?
Nia: This is unbelievable, every single girl is dying to date that sexy hunk and he goes for Aiko Rodriguez, she's a nobody
Paris: What the fucking hell does he even see in that pathetic freak show?
Bree: Well, I think, she's a good height for him, she designs and makes her clothes, and she has pretty hair-
Paris and Nia: Shut up!
(They strut away)
{With Tadhoney}
Aiko: You're female admirers don't seem to like the fact that we're dating
Tadashi: They're not worth it, just ignore them
Aiko: Always
[They laugh and continue happily walking to class with their friends and ignore the mad and crying faces of the other girls]
