Umi smiled. "Sure," she said, handing her phone over. Nao Yoshikawa smiled warmly taking the phone. "I'll just send myself a text or something, and we'll see if I get it."
Nao typed her number into Umi's messaging app. She typed a quick message, looking for the send button. She clicked a button, and it pulled up images. She almost gasped audibly. There were pictures of that pink haired girl Natsuki kissing the vice president of the student council!
Nao smirked and sent the picture to herself, along with the message she'd intended to send originally. She quickly deleted the evidence and smiled happily, handing the phone back to its owner. "I'll contact you about putting the picture on the website later. Speaking of which, what is the picture even of?"
"Oh, it doesn't really matter...I mean...if your girlfriend would have a spot for it, then of course I'd show you, but if there was no way, then I can't show you," Umi tried to explain.
"I understand! I have to ask my girlfriend first."
"Okay, thank you!" Umi grinned. "I'll see you around."
"Sure!" Nao answered, faking a smile. She turned on her heel and headed to grab her lunch. She had things to plan and tend to.

Natsuki walked into the club room, looking down. "Natsuki," Yuri smiled warmly. "Come sit down."
Natsuki wanted to. Natsuki wished she could. But Natsuki simply couldn't. Not with Yuri.
She turned away, tears forming in her eyes. She felt so weak. She'd cried so much in front of Yuri, and she was determined not to. She shook her head and sat on the other side of the room.
Monika and Sayori ran in, huffing and puffing. "Wow... hey... guys... sorry... I'm... late..." Monika said breathlessly. "I was doing something."
"M-Me too," Sayori gasped, out of breath.
Umi walked in after. Monika and Sayori squealed, hugging her tightly. "You're back!" Sayori exclaimed, jumping up and down.
The three finally noticed exactly what occurred only moments before. Yuri was sitting on one side of the classroom with a hurt look on her face. Natsuki sat on the other side, burying her face in manga.
"I thought you said they kissed," Monika whispered.
"They did. I don't know what happened," Umi whispered back.
"Show us the pictures," Sayori whispered excitedly. Umi nodded and pulled out her phone. She exited the last app she'd been in, the messaging app, and opened her gallery. A picture of Natsuki and Yuri's kiss the night before appeared on the screen. Umi swiped and found them cuddling on the bed.
Sayori and Monika gushed over the pictures, drawing attention from Natsuki. "What are you guys looking at?" she asked.
"Nothing," Umi giggled, patting the shorter girl's head.
"Alright, everyone!" Monika addressed the club. "Has everyone finished the festival preparations?"
Yuri nodded, speaking up. "Yeah, Natsuki and I finished the cupcakes, and I have the banner and candles in the closet. I brought an oil diffuser, too."
Sayori gave her a cheerful thumbs up. Monika nodded in acceptance.
"Did everyone finish the poems?" Monika asked.
"I did!" Sayori shouted.
Yuri nodded, turning her attention back to her book.
"Natsuki?" Monika asked.
