Cyan tied the bow on her school uniform and brushed her skirt. Slipping on her glasses, Cyan looked closely at herself in the mirror and was bewildered by the ear-less girl staring back at her.

"This will take some getting used to."

Cyan slipped on the bracelet given by Shu and smiled at how the glittered against the morning sun. Taking a closer look, the pink cherry blossom charms were very detailed, splashed with different shades of pink and each petal bordered with minuscule crystals.

Retoree stood beside Cyan, brushing her long gold hair.

"That's real pretty. Who's it from?"

Cyan giggled, "Shu. Apparently it's a thank you gift for saving him from all those girls at the mall." Cyan jingled the bracelet on her wrist.

Retoree stared at the bracelet blankly, "Oh." Retoree placed her comb on Cyan's vanity, grabbed her school briefcase and headed towards the door. "Should we get going?"

Cyan blinked, "O-Oh yah." Cyan stood up, unsure of why Retoree seemed so distant.

"Gooood morning you two!" Moa gave Retoree and Cyan a big hug. "You two are looking cute as ever!"

Cyan giggled, "So do you Moa! Everyone looks so good in their uniforms!"

Chuchu walked out of the guest room and played with a curl in her hair, "As beautiful as we all look, do you really think we'll fit in Cyan?"

Cyan admired Chuchu's beauty for a moment and then answered, "N-No. Actually if anything, you guys will be popular the moment you all step inside the school."

In her head, Cyan didn't deny what she said. Her band members would catch the eyes of many boys and girls at her school. Chuchu's beauty, Moa's bubbly personality, and Retoree's cool exterior. Cyan wondered how she could bring herself to stand out as much as the other girls. She saw herself and plain and uninteresting. Cyan took a deep breath.

"Let's do our best today girls!" Cyan beamed.

Chuchu nodded, "Mhmm! Let's give it our all!"

Moa nodded in delight and Retoree smiled in response.

Cyan conversed with her band members as they approached the school entrance, all of the girls anticipating the day ahead of them. Cyan caught a glimpse of Shu calmly sitting at the edge of the school fountain and blinked at the sight of school girls hiding awing Shu's presence as they walked by. Shu looked polished in tie and school uniform.

Shu lifted his head and his blonde hair reflected the sun, "Ah! Ne- Cyan-chan!"

Cyan gave a small sigh of relief, glad that he didn't call her Neko-chan in front of everyone. What would everyone think about their relationship if he said that outloud?

Cyan walked over to Shu and the girls followed behind her.

"Good morning Shu! Excited for today?"

"Am I ever! I feel honoured to be part of Ne— Cyan-chan's class," Shu held out an arm. "Shall I escort you to class?"

Cyan's face started to turn red after receiving envious looks from girls around her. However she would have felt horrible, not taking the kind gesture. Cyan bashfully placed her hand under Shu's arm. Blushing, could feel the curves of Shu's muscles. Cyan peered back to see Chuchu and Moa giggling to each other. Cyan's face grew redder. Retoree looked at the ground, quiet. Cyan grew concerned, wondering why Retoree was not her usual self. She'd have to talk to her at the right time when it came. Cyan jumped.
