It was a perfect day today. The sun is shining, bringing a comfortable warmth to the people underneath. Cherry blossoms are still blooming which made this look more perfect.

"Karma-kun!"

A voice yelled, making the person with that unique name turn his head around to find it.

Once he looked at his side, he was greeted of the sight of her panting while holding both her knees.

She looked up and decided to tell him something but because she was out of breath, she had a hard time.

When she finally caught her breath, she stood from her slouching position and told him what she wanted to say.

"I'm sorry that I kept you waiting, Karma-kun."

She bowed to him as an apology. The latter just chuckled at her actions.

"No, you didn't. Actually, Okuda-san was right on time. I just arrived a little bit early."

The bespectacled girl felt relieved upon hearing what he said.

The two started walking to the big gates blending in with the massive crowd.

"I'm still a bit curious why you asked me out though."

Karma said out loud. And Manami sweat dropped, remembering the reason why they are entering an amusement park.

"Sorry Okuda-chan! I already have plans with Sugino this Saturday, and with my parents this Sunday!" Kanzaki apologized through the phone call.

With a sigh and slumping of her shoulders, she responded to Kanzaki feeling a bit sad at the outcome.

"I-its okay, Kanzaki-san! I'll just ask Kayano-chan if she's free. Oh, have a fun weekend!"

The call between them ended. The raven headed girl sat down on her bed and started to dial another number.

She raised her phone up to her ears and waited for an answer. After three rings, she was greeted with a cheerful voice.

"Hi Okuda-chan~ What is it that you want to talk about?" Kayano asked cheerfully.

"W-well you see, I won two tickers for this new amusement park, and I was just wondering if you're free this weekend?"

Scratching the back of her neck, her voice kept on stuttering, anxiously waiting for her friend's answer.

"Sorry Okuda-chan... I'm busy with tons of projects that are being laid out for me. Being an actress is pretty tough..."

Manami's mood fell down. She was really looking forward to going to this amusement park. But it couldn't be helped. Her friends had their own lives and are busy with it ever since starting high school.

She understood them well, but the hint of sadness in her voice alarmed Kayano.

"I really do want to hang out with you Okuda-chan. But I-I'm sorry..."

"I-its okay! I understand your situation."

Noticing that Kayano got affected by her sadness, Manami assured her that she completely understood her situation.

"I guess I kind of got too hyped up with the amusement park thingy. It's been a while so... I just thought that spending my time there with a friend could be nice."
