Part 9 - Reunion Plan

In the afternoon of a campus. A tall girl came out from a lecture room then she bowed a little in front of the door before she closed it. Suddenly from the opposite direction, a fashionable girl came and greet the girl in front of the room.

"Kumiii~ What are you doing here?" greeted the fashionable girl to Sasaki Kumi who is standing in front of the lecture room.
"Ah? Katoshi, I just finish handed down my paper work. How about you?" asked Kumi to the fashionable girl named Kato Shiho.
"I'm going to cafeteria. Want to go with me?" smiled Shiho.
"Sure!"

Kumi and Shiho walked to the cafeteria together. They had a lunch while chatting.
"By the way.. how is Kyonko?" asked Shiho as she still chewing her food inside her mouth.
"Hmm.. I haven't get any news from her since she moved to UK." answered Kumi.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, her LINE is not active. I've sent her a chat but she didn't reply me." sighed Kumi as she opened the bottle of juice then drink it.
"Me too! I wonder where is she right now?" wondered Shiho.
"Why you asked Kyonko?" asked Kumi back.
"You are her closest friend from high school right? I want to hold a reunion." said Shiho.
"A reunion? Keyakizaka High School?"
"Yes, that would be fun right? We haven't gotten a chance to meet everyone. Everyone seems busy. Miipan, Manafii and Memi are the busiest." complained Shiho.
"It is because they are study overseas right? Miipan is in USA, Manafii in Hongkong and Memi just get into a college in Australia. We can't match our schedule to meet again." said Kumi.
"Aah I missed them all.."

While they are chatting and eating, suddenly Manaka and Risa came into the cafeteria.
"The cool is coming." said Shiho who look at Manaka and Risa.

Kumi look at the counter of cafeteria then she smiled and continue eating.
"Sometimes I envy their relationship." said Shiho.
"Why?" asked Kumi.
"They live together and go everywhere together. They seems happy for always being together."
"Hey, you just see their outside. We don't know what happened in their life exactly." advised Kumi.
"Hmm, you may right."

Manaka and Risa who just got their lunch they went directly to the seat next to window. They sat next to each other while having lunch.
"I don't believe they really serve grilled meat today!" said Manaka as she look at her meals.
"We always can't get this meals because we always be the last one in queue." added Risa.
"Glad we made it today!" grinned Manaka.

Shiho who watched them from her place asked Kumi to go to The Cool place. But Kumi refused it.
"Why should I go there?"
"You are close with them right? Go there and ask them about reunion please!" begged Shiho.

Kumi sighed and she finished her last chew then she drank a water. After that she dragged Shiho and went to The Cool place.

"E-eh? Where will you take me to?!" surprised Shiho.

Kumi and Shiho arrived at The Cool where they were eat their lunch. Kumi directly sat in front of them with Shiho next to her.
"Hi guys. Can we join you?" asked Kumi.

Manaka and Risa look at them then they nodded. "Yeah sure." said Risa.

The cool keep chewing their foods while Shiho started to get awkward in front of them. Kumi noticed Shiho's awkwardness and she started a conversation.

"Hey Shiho wants to make a reunion. You guys wanna join?" asked Kumi directly.
"E-eh? Why should I?" said Shiho as she waved both her hands fastly.
"Really? A reunion? Wow that must be good!" said Manaka excited.
"A reunion in Keyakizaka High School?" asked Risa.
"Yeah, you still get in touch with your friends right?" asked Kumi back.
"Do you mean Aozora to MARRY?"
"Yeah." said Kumi.
"Well yes, who will arrange the reunion?" asked Risa again.
"Don't worry about that Shiho will handle it." grinned Kumi.
"Eeehh I can't do it! I can't. At first I only asked you about reunion right? Why you want to make it happend." said Shiho.
"Don't worry, I'll help you." said Risa.
