Hikari and Mai walked up to Akira and Kyouko, who were seated outside class. Hikari waved hyperactively and then threw herself at Akira.
“Aww poo…”Akira commented.
“Stop calling me poo!! And yeah, guess what. Mai created a fate story for me,” Hikari exclaimed.
“Does it involve nightingale?”Kyouko asked inquisitively.
“Yep!” replied Mai shortly.
“Its about me having a crush on Kai and how he too has a crush on me and the best part is that Kai and myself were apparently childhood friends…” Hikari concluded.
“Doesn’t that make it sound like fate…and the childhood friend part makes it so Japanese anime like…hehee…” Mai explained. Akira just gave a plain look and Mai looked away.
“But poo, don’t you actually have a crush on Kai?” Akira asked trying to tease Hikari.
“Yeah, but it’s just a crush and I don’t want to get too caught up in it... Okay, maybe I’m majorly crushing on him…” Hikari replied looking embarrassed.
“Hmm…” Akira murmured narrowing her eyes looking suspicious at Hikari.
“Stop it!” Hikari yelled feeling embarrassed.
Soon the others joined, they included Riko, Sakura, Haruka and Shizuo. As they continued with their conversation, the bell rang for the first period, biology.
As they walked to class Hikari recalled how the AHSM had formed, it was because of the biology presentation they had to prepare that Akira, Hikari, Sakura, Mai, Shizuo and Haruka teamed up. They then met up a few times to prepare the presentation and had an awesome time hanging out together. Soon afterwards Akira, Hikari, Sakura and Mai started hanging out more often and it was then that the legendary AHSM formed (okay…that’s a little bit or should I say really over exaggerated way of calling them)
During biology AHSM were having loads of fun especially watching Akira annoy Misaki, a short girl with a relatively large appetite (If Misaki were to read this… I just hope she doesn’t, and even if she does let’s hope she thinks I’m referring to someone else… but it’s be really hard to ignore the fact that I’m talking about her when it’s so obvious…*sigh*)
After biology they all walked to their class and as Hikari entered class, her eyes caught someone standing among the guys, it was most definitely her crush, Kai. She could feel her cheeks slightly burning but she couldn’t force herself to turn away, when she heard someone cough, it was Mai, who was right behind her, she almost immediately averted her eyes afraid Mai would be sneering at her, turning around she asked abruptly,”What?”
“I was just coughing,” came the timid reply from Mai.
It was obvious Hikari was being overly self conscious. She then took a seat among AHSM and continued talking with them, trying to be her usual self.
Hikari then realized how much things had changed between Kai and herself since the start of the year. She had casually greeted him, listened to him singing and pounded fists with him but now it all seemed so awkward, ever since she realized she has a crush on him.

The next day was no different…or that was what Hikari thought until it was break, but things changed afterwards. Sakura and Hikari were in class as the others had gone to the canteen, when two guys entered class… it was Kai and the other guy, Kaeda. Hikari forced her casual hi, at Kai who calmly replied to it.
“How come you’re always so hyper?” Kaeda asked.
“It’s not such a bad thing being hyper… it’s actually good,” Kai replied.
“Yeah that could have been the case but I know too many hyper people,” Kaeda replied as he sat down and played with his phone.
Soon afterwards Kai left and Hikari looked overly happy.
“Do I look extremely happy?” Hikari asked afraid she wouldn’t be able to have a straight face when her friends returned and Sakura nodded, smiling.
But it was too late for her friends soon entered the classroom.
