'A new kid?'
........................................................
"Kotoha-chan!!!" The door to Cafe Pothos opened abruptly but to Kotoha Tachibana it was somethingnot out of the ordinary as her door keeps getting slammed everytime that certain someone decides to barge into her little cafe.
She turned her gaze towards the pitiful door and make out a what seems like a face of worry. 'Hope it get used to it the way that I did.' she thought not really wanting to get a new one because it can be pricey.
Getting back to the current situation, Kotoha was certain who the perpetrator is especially when hearing that voice. She's even sure she's in no need for a ringing bell if she had him there all the time.
Kotoha didn't even react when a body was suddenly flung to hug her.
'He's here, again.' she stated like it's a matter of fact, and yes it indeed is.
In fact, she wouldn't be surprise if at this point he will be living in the cafe along with his comrades, since the place seems like their second base already. She couldn't complain though because they are already persons of importance to her too, well, not only to her also to the town.
She shrugged him though and stared at the students occupying the previously vacant seats. Instantly, her cafe was filled with young healthy boys. What surprised her though was the unexpected number of students, they seems to be unusually more today.
Then her eyes fell on a certain jet black haired kid. She wasn't able to see him properly, but she caught sight of the pink-tinted irises before withdrawing her stare.
While Umemiya on the other hand was pouting from the abandonment made himself comfortable on the stool located at the front of the counter.
'Did someone transfer?' Kotoha thought but decided not to dwell on it and instead took on her apron and tied it in her back.
Right away, the boys started filling the line in front of the counter and stated their orders. Yuki who was new to the shop only left her food choices to Nirei who presented himself voluntarily. She sat there in her seat with Sakura in front of her and Suo beside him.
Sakura looks forced to be sitting in front of her but she pays no mind to it.
It seems she needs charding, her energy battery today has been drained that's why.
Soon enough their foods arrived at the table and everyone started digging in their meals, her included. Although she was dragged there by Suo, she wouldn't resist the food. Afterall, she was also starving.
Sakura noticed how she separates the peas from her dish which got his eyebrow furrowing.
"What?" Yuki asked when she finally caught him staring at her darkly.
"Nothing." he dismissed her as he also ate on his meal separating the peas on the side.
"Kotoha-chan!!!" Umemiya seems to have fully regained his energy. He dragged Kotoha Tachibana towards the table of Sakura, fortunately, the people in the table seems to have finished their meals.
"There's someone I would like to introduce." he stated.
"Shinomiya-kun..." he started when he reached their table.
The resting Shinomiya couldn't bother to look at him, she was still trying to recover her energy and yet here was the energy drainer again trying to steal. Shinomiya was forced to looked at him when she saw on her peripheral that he was with someone she does not know. Of course, she don't want to be rude so she turned towards the stranger and flashed a smile.
"This is Kotoha Tachibana." Umemiya introduced.
"Nice to meet you." The girl, Kotoha, extended her hand to her and returned her smile.
SHe raise her hand to take it but it got halted in the air when a thought comes to mind.
Should she really take it?
'What if she learnt about my secret?' She can't help but think.
Knowing girls, their radar are strong.
Yuki was so hesitant that Sakura had to grab her by the wrist and extend her hand to Kotoha before letting go.
"N-now talk." he murmured obviously embarassed by his own actions too.
"O-oh, I'm Shinomiya Yuki. It was also nice to meet you." she answered when she recovered.
Kotoha smiled and gave her hand a squeeze as if reassuring her, although she doesn't know what does it mean. She gave the girl a confuse look to which was returned with a wink. It made her all the way more confuse.
Umemiya faked a cough breaking the exchange between the two. "What do you think Shinomiya-kun? Isn't my dear Kotoha pretty?" Now, he's in game again, with all the teasing that is.
"Yeah, your girlfriend is indeed pretty." she said to end his forecoming tease. Yuki smirked at Umemiya feeling like she got right back at him when she saw how his smug face morphed into a flabbergasted one.
"No!!!" They both yelled to disapprove. This, conjoined response, shook her to the core that she almost failed to maintain her composure. That's how loud their voices was.
