Happy birthday, Ai-kun!!

"I'm going to miss you so much~" Mimisame-chan cooed, hugging me tightly. Her sparkly, bright pink dress would've normally stood out, but tonight definitely wasn't a normal day. It was practically the last time we would ever be with all our classmates again, after all those years of studying together.

"Me too," I replied quietly, hugging her back. She had never been a very close friend of mine, but I guessed that graduation was the day everyone pretended to be friends with everyone else. I guess this day made people realize that it wasn't worth it to hate people anymore. It was really ironic how they all realized it on the very last day they would spend together.

"You were always such a good student! I wish I could be at least as half as good as you are," Reichi-chan added beside Mimisame-chan. Since Reichi-chan hardly ever left Mimisame-chan's side - they were practically attached to the hip - it was no surprise that they were even saying goodbye to everyone else together.

"Thanks, but you were a really good student yourself," I replied with a slight smile. That wasn't a complete lie. I was sure that those two, if they actually tried really hard, could achieve really good grades. But the problem was that they seemed to care more about their social lives more than anything else. And considering the fact that they were aiming to be idols, it seemed strangely fitting. Idols who were popular usually also had a really active and popular social life.

They both smiled at me one last time before walking away to some other classmate. Somone tapped me on the shoulder, and slipped her arms through mine.

"Are they done yet?" Amayo-chan asked, wrinkling her nose slightly. I bit back a smile, and nodded.

"I'm guessing you're not going around as well?" I asked, trying to sound serious.

"Do I really look like that type of person who would really pretend to be best friends with everyone in all of our classes," Amayo-chan replied instead, giving me a sarcastic look. I laughed softly.

"That's very true," I answered quietly. That was probably one of the reasons why Amayo-chan and I were basically inseperable, from the very beginning. We both hated drawing attention to ourselves, and both worked as hard as we could to be at the top of our classes. Her parents, though not that demanding, were still more strict than most of the other parents. Amayo-chan had even told me one time that my friendship with her was the only friendship her parents had ever approved.

"Actually, I am going to miss these classmates. Though not all of them were our friends, they were all people that we've studied with since what seems like forever," Amayo-chan sighed.

Before I could reply, Akira-chan, my other best friend, rushed towards me and grabbed my free hand.

"Ne ne, did you hear??" She asked excitedly, almost jumping up and down with excitement.

"About what? The fact that we're graduating? Yeah, I think I heard," Amayo-chan replied rather snarkly. She and Akira-chan had never seen eye-to-eye, and both of them claimed to be only somewhat friends because of me.

"No, only someone like you wouldn't know about that," Akira-chan shot a glare at Amayo-chan, who rolled her eyes in reply, "there's rumors that a very popular idol group from Shining Saotome's Agency is going to visit us tonight! And, we might even get to dance with them~"

"Really?" Amayo-chan asked, all the annoyance and hostality gone from her face. It wasn't every day that a popular idol group would visit us. It might've been surprising to some people, as we were studying to be composers and idols after all, but the truth was, those idols and composers were usually way too busy to even visit their kouhais.
