Conflictions [Ako and Kirara]

It was four in the morning and Ako was going out for a jog. She got up from her bed and put on her tracking suit. She tied her hair to a ponytail-- which was unusual for her--before coming out.

"Aikatsu, aikatsu, aikatsu." Ako keeps on running. She then saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. She could not see it properly because of the thick fog.

"What are you doing here this early in the morning?" the person spoke. It seems that the figure was a boy because of its deep voice and the way it stands. "Can't you see I'm taking a jog?" Ako replied sarcastically. "More importantly, what are you doing here? " She continued, emphasizing the word 'you'.

"What's wrong with me standing here?" Kanata asked. Yes, the one who she was talking to was Kanata.

"This is the girls part of the academy. And don't answer a question with a question." She said with a tone of authority.

"You sure?" Kanata asked again. A hint of teasing can be found in his question. Ako was about to reply but was cut of with Kanata, "Of cour— See your surroundings first."

Ako moved her head confusingly. But at the time she saw the environment, she turned red because of embarrassment. She then heard a snicker coming from him.

"Wha- Hey!" she shouted. "This is not funny. Okay, fine. You win. I just got lost in thoughts." Ako admitted.

"But that has nothing to do with you Kanata Kira. So goodbye." she ran of to the girl's dormitory and went to her room.

When she opened her door, she can hear the sound of her Aikatsu Mobile ringing. She found out that Kirara was calling her. She didn't hesitate to answer it.

Ako's P.O.V.

Kirara was calling me so I answered it. There it revealed her showing her smile and waving at me.

"Ako-chan, Ako-chan, you are baa! Why did you pick up the phone late?" She asked saying her famous line.

"Sorry, sorry, just met someone and talked with him for a while." I said.

"Hey, hey, who is this him? Is it Kanata-senpai?" She asked, a smirk in her face.

I nodded slowly which made her jump in amusement. "I knew it!" she shouted.

"W-why did you call me Kirara Hanazono? If it is not important then I should just go. I have a meeting to attend." I said trying to change the subject. Before I was about to press the end button, she announced something with made me stop.

"I'm asking if you would like to come with me to New Zealand." that is what she said that stiffened my whole body.
"Ako-chan, hey, you still there?" she asked, worried. I covered the camera so that she cannot see me.

"It's okay if you don't want, I was just asking. Sorry for disturbing your morning routine" I took the cover of my camera and there, I saw her flash a weak smile. I feel guilty.

It was now my turn to stop her. "Meet me at the front of the academy's gate at 8 AM." I  said then pressed the end button. But before that, I heard her say "Thank you, Ako-chan" I smiled after hearing that.

I got up from my bed and took a long and fresh shower. It took for about an hour and a half. I dressed into something casual and went to the Headmaster's office to ask permission about going out. He approved and continued to do his work. I thanked him and walked outside.

While I was waiting for Kirara, someone showed up.

"What do you want now?" I asked coldly. What do you expect? He's the person I really don't want to be with. Well, at least not, for now.
