I sat at home staring at the book...I shouldn't tell him about it...right? It's Kokona's privacy. I sighed...why do I know so much? I sighed again and took out the book.

'I am Maus Riki, A Half German, I am 18 and feb 17th is my birthday, I like adventurous stuff and my fav color is blue...and fav singer is Natori'

"Eh!?" I looked around confused. The whole room was filled with Natori's albums and posters...Natori is underrated singer in Japan. People outside Japan like him but he is still undiscovered by many people...And I love him since his debut...Maki you can't be real!?!

'I am Harua Shigeta, 18, 1st may is my birthday and I love Natori too!'

I wrote down happily.

'Also, Can I ask you something...it's about Niki and Jo'

---

'NICE!!! I love Overdose, what's your favorite song! And yeah!~ You can ask me anything'

Maki wrote down and placed it in the request box again. I took it out carefully making sure no one sees me. 

I smiled looking at his excitement through the page as he wrote about his fav song. 

"Good morning students of Nagano High, We are drawing closer to cherry blossom festival, have you guys prepared to put on the best show to make your class win? I heard that this is Cherry blossom festival will have dancers dancing to Flamingo and a sweet love story play! I am so excited for this! Are you too?

Let me play you song for an exciting day"

*Overdose by Natori plays*

I smiled looking at Maki's message as the song played. "I like it too..." I smiled feeling happy that I met someone with the same choice in music. 

'I just wanted to ask if...Niki is mad at Sunoo Hyung because Hyung said Niki is glaring at him and about Jo...can you tell him that Yuma isn't what he thinks he is...Yuma is sweet...They should talk properly once Please tell him. And my favorite song is Overdose too...other one would be Absolute Zero'

I placed it in Maki's desk after the broadcasting during PE when everyone was out. I rushed over to change my clothes and bumped into Maki. "Oh" I looked at him feeling a little shy as I saw him shirtless. "Ah...AH!" Maki panicked and covered himself with a shirt. I smiled a little and walked inside a stall to change.

Maki POV

Did he just smile...He is so cute.

I wore my shirt and waited outside while playing with the ball under my leg. "Oh! You are still here" He asked and I nodded happily. "Would you like to play football?" I asked him and he sighed. "I am bad at sports though" He sighed. "I-I'll teach you" I said and smiled. I just want to spend time with him. "Fine, I'll...let me ask Yuma too" I nodded happily and rushed out to football.

"Guys! Can we join?" Harua yelled making all of my football mates turn at them and look at them confused. Harua dragged Yuma with a awkward smile while Yuma whined not wanting to be there.

"S-"

"Sure!" Jo said before I could say anything and Niki agreed along with the others.

We started playing and I kept on teaching them a few tips in between. Soon Yuma started enjoying it as well. We all enjoyed playing together and my friends loved their company too.

I just couldn't keep my lip's corners down. Football and Harua...two of the best things that happened to me in one place is this heaven?

"Ah!" I turned around panicked to see if Harua was hurt. "Oh! Yuma!" Harua ran towards him as he fell down. 

We all rushed towards him as his blood flowed down till his socks making them stink in red. "Come here" Jo pulled him and took him to the first aid room. We all decided to take a break.

"Sorry" I said looking at Harua drinking water by the bleachers near me. "What for?" He turned around asking. "I was the one who asked you to play" I sighed. "Come on, These wounds makes us stronger and I have never seen Yuma this happy before. He is always dull and lost in thought" Harua said and smiled.

"What about you?" I asked getting down to him and sitting beside him on the bleachers. "Did you like it?" I asked and he smiled again. Oh my heart. "Yes, I liked it" He said. "Wanna play again next time?" I asked him. He turned around abruptly making our face close to each other. He panicked and looked away. "Y-Yeah, I-I'll get going, call me to play next time" he said and rushed away.

He is so cute.

Jo POV

I dropped Yuma onto the first aid room's bed. "Ahh" Yuma hissed as I harshly dropped him and I glared at him before bringing him a band aid and an antiseptic solution. "Come to class after you finish dressing your wound." I said and walked away.

"Jo" I heard him call. I turned around to look at him and he smiled widely. "Thank you" He said with a huge smile. "So burdensome" I rolled my eyes and walked out. "W-Why is he thanking me, idiot" I sighed feeling a little shy.

I reached to class to see a sight of Maki opening Niki's eyes wide. These guys are literal freaks. What are they even doing? I walked closer. "What are you doing?" I asked and they both smiled. "Niki, Once show our boy how you look at Sunoo?" Maki said with a awkward smile. I took out my bottle and took a sip and choked on it as I saw Niki glare at me. 

"Why?" Niki asked confused. "Are you mad at me?" Jo asked and Maki laughed loudly. "I just looked at you the same way I see Sunoo" Niki explained. "You are scary" I sighed. "That's not how you look at someone you love, it's how you look at someone who you are gonna kill" Maki stated and smiled.

"I thought I looked cool like that" Niki pouted.

"Cool while glaring?" I asked him and he nodded. "I always want to smile when I see him but I stop myself to look cool and reliable for Sunoo" Niki pouted again.

"Niki it's simple, just think about how you are gonna look at him when you see him accidentally. Don't try to be cool, try to look like you look up to him...that's way more reassuring" Maki said and smiled.

"And coming to Jo..."

I looked at him confused. "Do you also want to cool to Yuma?" Maki asked me while looking at me with a pressuring look.

"Eh? No! I don't like him!" I yelled. "Strong denial is a yes~" Niki wiggled his eye brows. "No...I don't like him at all" I scoffed. "Then why are you mad at him?" Maki asked.

How can I say that, when it's going to hurt Maki's feelings.

"He just said something offensive, so I am kind of mad at him" I said looking down. "Idk whatever it is, Harua told me that he is really a good guy and you should talk to him once" Maki said and smiled.

"Harua?" Niki popped up from his desk.

"Yeah" Maki shyly wiggled his legs while Niki teased him.

I walked back to the first aid room to see Yuma struggling to get down. He did scratch his leg from knee and it's at least as huge as my palm...it's gonna hurt.

"Apppp....Ouch" Yuma fell down. I sighed and walked to him. "Can't you take care of yourself?" I asked him and he sighed. "I am sorry Jo...I didn't mean it that day. I just was caught off guard. I was nicknamed in high school to be different like them so...I kind of hated it" He said touching his ear.

"It's ok" I smiled a little. "As long as you don't mean it" I smiled and extended my hand. He took it and lifted him up. 

"Am I heavy?"

"Yeah..."

"YAH!"
