Ever since I was a little girl, promises have dictated my life. Promises with my parents, cousins, friends. It facilitated friendships, challenged me and encouraged self-love and growth. Aside from the common day agreements that I would make with pe...
Not long after the Soma's shokugeki against Ikumi the day of the training camp came along. First years rushed off their buses in excitement, absorbing the image before them. They were in awe. It was an unbelievable sight. Everyone was then hushed into the great hall. For such an enormous number of students in one room, there wasn't a single sound. It was completely silent.
That is, until Soma spotted Amai. Her back was facing him, and he could tell that that soft hair was hers.
That's definitely her hair and her a-
His mouth spoke before his brain could even comprehend.
"Amai!" He cheered obnoxiously and loudly to which she flinched in response. It shattered the previously tense atmosphere and immediately caught the attention of every student in the hall. Her head shot over in the direction of his familiar voice and she did not look happy.

A shiver ran down his spine and his grin flattered.
"Haha... Hey there Nikumi." He greeted, acknowledging the female's presence in an attempt to pacify the other silently raging female. Ikumi was completely flustered at his sudden hello that her face lit up in a blush.
"H-hi Yukihira." She stuttered, reaching up to her hair and swirling a piece with her index finger.
"Shut up Yukihira. Aren't you nervous at all?!" Yoshino gasped, reaching her hand out to stop the male from making a ruckus. Ignoring her question, Soma proceeds to continue the conversation that he had started.
"It's been a while right, Nikumi?" Yukihira grinned, scratching his head and glancing at Amai.
"Yukihira! Why are you using her nickname?!" Yoshino questioned accusingly.
"I asked her, and she gave me her consent to do so." Was Soma's nonchalant response.
An annoyed Ikumi interrupted and shrieked, "Like hell I did!" Sighing, Amai yanked Soma's ear in order to silence him. Moving her face closer to him, she looked him directly in the eye and gave him a death glare.
"Stop being an idiot."
That immediately shut him up and just in time too.
"Pay attention to the stage, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to explain the outline of this camp" Chapelle-sensei started, gaining all the attention in the room. He explained about the length of the camp and how everything was going to happen. Pausing for a second, he continued, "For the judging, we have invited guest lectures. They are extremely busy so be grateful that they have taken time out of their busy schedule to gather here for you guys. They are the Totsuki Academy's Alumni."
The Alumni entered from the side of the stage being welcomed with gasps and gossiping. Amai smiled almost shaking in excitement at the sight of some of the Alumni, for she was acquainted with them. Stopping centre stage, Shinomiya Kojiro took the microphone and said, "You in the 9th line starting from the front. The boy with the scar on his eyebrow." Amai glanced to her left to look at Soma, for he had a scar on his eyebrow. Thankfully, it was the male to Soma's right.
