(Wow, updates are getting slow now. I hope your standards and expectations are lowered for this book 😔)

-

"So, this is Youtou highschool." You say. The three of you are standing at the gates, admiring the prestigious school with calm expressions. Ruby kept herself energised as always, though.

You three had entered the school and did your own interviews.

"Name."

"I'm Hoshino Y/n."

"Nice name." One of them says with a small smile. A lady on the right widened her eyes as she looked over your papers. Her mouth was agape in shock, "You have a standard score of 80%?! Why'd you apply for this school where the standard score is 40%?"

"I believe it could make me a good path for my future. And I wanted to stick to my siblings. Er, Hoshino Aquamarine and Hoshino Ruby." You said softly. You finally exited the room and spotted your siblings, "How did it go for you two?"

"It was okay, I guess. My name probably already gave it all away though." Aqua says with a sigh, no sign of emotion tracing his face.

Ruby had a wide smile, "It was good for me!" "That's great." You said gently at your siblings, looking down to see them.

Aqua continued being gloomy, "I have a low chance of being rejected. If I do get rejected, my name's to blame."

"Your name is pretty unique, I like it. But I guess it is better that you're getting called 'Aqua' nowadays, not Aquamarine." You said with a chuckle as you scratched the back of your head gently.

A student who was walking by you three stopped in her tracks, and looked at you all, "Huh? Aqua Hoshino?! The Aqua Hoshino from the strawberry productions?"

The attention turned to her, "Do we know you?" You asked gently. You looked more closely and...Aha! It's Kana Arima, the spoilt annoying kid actress.

"Oh, it's You!" You laughed in a friendly manner. Kana looks at you three, "Aqua, Ruby and Y/n!" Kana exclaims.

Although you seemed like it, you were not really eager to see her. You didn't appreciate how she acted back then and her words to your mother. Kana rested her hands on Aqua's broad shoulders, "You're aqua?!"

"Who are you again." Aqua plainly says, looking down at her. You chuckled at your brother's words, scratching the side of your cheek softly, "She's Kana, the child actress who licks baking soda."

"AHEM." "Ah, right...The child actress prodigy who can cry in 10 seconds flat." You corrected yourself after hearing Kana's strict throat clear.

"You both will be in the Performance Arts with me, right?" Asked Kana, completely ignoring Ruby.

You let out a nervous and soft chuckle, "We applied for the General Education. Besides, my only purpose here in this school was kind of just to make sure my sister doesn't do anything silly. Aqua is here probably for the same thing."

"Is that so." Kana sighs, disappointed visibly.

"My sister joined the Performing Art thing as well. I only applied because I'm worried for her." Aqua converses with his eyes closed.

Ruby kept her energy and enthusiasm, "My brothers have got quite the sister complex." "Gross!" Kana retorts, causing your faith and hope for her to be in your good-side list to perish.

Your sister whispers to you both, "Hey, come to think of it, I've never really liked her."

"You'll be her junior if you get accepted, you know." Aqua whispers. "I feel bad for you." You sympathize kindly in a whispered and hushed tone.

"I can hear you 3 idiots!" Kana scolds with a scowl.

"Actually, about 60-80% of the human population would be able to if they were in your position which is 0.6m³ or zero point six cubic meters away from where we are standing and the volume of our voices a-" You were cut off by Ruby putting glasses on your eyes.

"Wow! You look cute with glasses!" Ruby exclaims, completely disregarding your grade 5 leveled intelligence breakdown.

You chuckled, "Ruby, who's glasses are these? This is the 24th time you put a random person's glasses on my eyes."

"I bought it!" Ruby proudly says. You were flabbergasted, but kept as calm as you could.

"Wait, you have money?" "Yep! Before I bought those glasses!" Ruby boasted with her hands on her hips and her eyes closed like she achieved an accomplishment.

You removed the glasses from your eyes, "Ruby, we're returning this right now. It's got the perfect degree for my eyes, 350, but I can see perfectly fine without it."

"Okay, then what's that?" Ruby points and something that is clearly out of your sight range, being around 20 meters only.

The attention was now on you. "That's obviously a- Oh, hey! It's 5:59. Wouldn't want to be late on the first day, right?" You cut yourself off to protect yourself, smiling gently and keeping calm.

"Brother, school starts tomo-" "Shh."

Your brother went to the directors place again, while you just went home with Ruby.

After a while in the evening, he finally returned. "You're going to be in a drama?!" Ruby asked in shock.

"Why did you tell her." Aqua gloomily looks at Miyako, "Not like you were gonna tell her yourself."

"Wait, Aqua, you're going to be in a drama? That's good, I'm happy for you." You said calmly as he nudged him slightly on the shoulder while flipping eggs on a pan.

You felt yourself being stared at by some sharp and piercing, sparkly eyes, "You're coming with me."

"What do you mean? There's no positions." You said, confused and blank as you continued frying eggs.

He keeps his straight face, "Yeah, I just want you to come along. You know I bring you everywhere I go. Except the director's place."

"Alright, fine. As long as I don't have to do anything but watch, it should be fine." You said calmly.

--

You watched as your brother performed a stunt that caused everything to look like what happened in the original manga, it was perfect. For some reason, you were allowed into the celebration party.

The #2 director was having a conversation with Aqua but you were busy drinking your fruit juice, it was healthy and delicious!

Later at home, you put on an apron to make yourself more food again, hungry. Ruby and Aqua were watching as they say on the table while Miyako was working on something in a separate desk.

"I'll be in a romance drama." Aqua spits out.

"What?!" Both you and Ruby says. Suddenly, a big fire makes its appearance on your frying pan but kept cooking like nothing happened.

"Drama is alright, but you? In a Romance Drama? That's... That's unique. Yeah, that's new." You said, mumbling slightly even as you continued cooking.

Aqua stares at you, "There's another free position. You're going to be joining me."

"Hm? No, I'm sorry, Aqua. You can't just keep dragging me into these without my permis-" "You. Are. Joining." Aqua says as he has a glare.

He would always drag you into his problems or just whatever new thing he finds, which you dislike about him. "Alright, fine. Aqua, what's the genre?"

"...Romance drama..."

"...Nevermind, I resig-" Despite you cooking at the moment, you could feel his stare piercing through your back and his heavy aura from the table.

You sighed, "You know I'm not a fan of romance, right? I wouldn't want to act in one either."

"If you join, I'll give you 60,000 yen." Aqua bribed. You turned around while carrying the pan, keeping yourself calm despite the money, "Do you really think that's going to get me to join?"

"Because you're right."
