Help You Out

The students continued working on their preparation late at night. Ayumi starts to become tired, her eyes keeps forcing theirselves shut and her head keeps hanging down. Sanyu is too focused on painting stars on the board, he doesn't notice Ayumi being so sleepy.

Suddenly, her head fell onto his shoulder. She had fallen fast asleep. Sanyu's eyes widens, he turns to look at the time. It was 1:53 AM. He puts the art supplies down, "It's this late already huh.. maybe I should go sleep too." Ayumi slept like a cute little lamb. It made him blush a bit. He carried her into the room and tucked her in the bed, "Good night, Ayumi." Then he lied down on his futon and slept the night away.

While decorating the finished boards, Kaya asks Yuuto, "Since when did you start to notice you liked Ayumi?" He replies back with a sigh, " I don't know, it just happened. When you like someone it's really out of the blue. I mean, she's very cute too. And kind. Who wouldn't have feelings for a girl like her?" She smiles, "True~~" "What about you? Don't you have someone you like too?" He too, questions her back.

Kaya stops working and looks at Yuuto, "I do, but I'm not sure if he likes me back, so I'm not ready to confess yet. Love is a scary thing." He laughs at her, "Makes me wonder who this 'guy' is? Hahaha!" She ignores him and continues working.

After days of preparing, the students finally sets up the classroom for their Cosmology themed festival. All the students cheered happily as they finally finished setting everything up. "Tomorrow is the day of our school festival! Everyone I'm glad we finished this a day early! Great job everybody!" Izumi said out loud proudly.

Sona walks into her classroom. She looks at Mae, then smirks. Mae looks up at Sona, "You're in this class now?" Sona looks away as she continues smirking, "Yeah. Seems like it. From now on, let's be good friends." Mae pauses for awhile then answers back to Sona, "Sure.."

Most of the classes for finishing up their settings in the classrooms. Students were getting ready to have extreme fun tomorrow.

During lunch, Mae goes up to Sanyu. "Would you like to be part of our classroom festival? We're doing a cute cafe theme and I thought of having cute and handsome waiters to attract more people," she smiles at him. Sanyu looks at her, "I'm sorry, but leave me out on this. I already told Ayumi that I'd hang out with her throughout the whole day during the festival."

Mae suddenly looks down, "Oh, is that so?" Sanyu nods his head, "Yeah, I'm sorry. Maybe next year?" She fakes a smile at him, "Then.. I hope you'll have a fantastic day tomorrow!" He smiles then leaves to go find Ayumi and Kaya them.

After he left, Mae sat down alone on the bench under the beautiful big oak tree. Sona walks up to Mae, "What's wrong?" "Nothing," She answers. Sona smiles a bit as she watches Sanyu leave from a far away distance, "Do you like Kimura?" Mae immediately lifts her head up and looks at Sona, "How do you know?" Sona laughs, "It's quite obvious! You're always looking at him and trying to find ways to talk to him!"

Mae feels embarrassed. "So what will you do to get his attention? You're really pretty, how can he not like you?" Sona asks her. "Even if I do something to get his attention, he will always turn to Ayumi.. although he told me he has no feelings for her at all. She's just a friend to him, nothing more than that," Mae tells Sona. "Is that so?" Sona gives off a smirk.

Mae nods her head without saying anything back. "If that's so, then I can help you out here. I know a lot about Ayumi, I can help you beat her and win Sanyu. Compared to you, Ayumi is nothing more than a lowly peasant," Sona laughs. Mae thinks to herself, 'Can I really trust this girl?'

He cannot hold in his feelings anymore, he wants to let it out now. Yuuto grabs Ayumi and takes her away from Sanyu. "What are you doing to her? Let go," Sanyu grabs Yuuto's arm which held onto Ayumi. Kaya tries to stop them, "Can you..not fight?" Yuuto looks straight into Sanyu's eyes, "I have something to speak with Ayumi. Mind your own business." He shakes off Sanyu's grip and walks away with Ayumi.

The words 'Mind your own business' had made Sanyu's blood boil. Kaya tries to calm him down. Yuuto takes Ayumi to the back of the school where no students where at. It was quiet, and empty. A good place to talk with someone at. "Ayumi, I've been holding it in for kinda long now and I think you should know," he let's go of her arm. She is clueless, she couldn't say a word back but to only look at him as he speaks.

"Ayumi, I like you. I really like you. I've probably made it seem like a joke to you, but all those times I spent with you, whether good or bad, the gifts I bought you.. it was to show you how much I care and liked you. Please accept me!" He boldly confessed to her straight up.

Her eyes widened at his words. She was frozen for awhile. "I really like you..." he repeated himself. His heart was shaking in fear, however it too, was beating out of love uncontrollably. Ayumi stares at the ground, "I'm sorry.. but can I think about it..first?" He nods his head, "Yeah, sure. Don't rush yourself to answer me back. Take your time, I'll be waiting for your answer." She bows, "Excuse me then.." Slowly, she turns away and walks back to Kaya. Yuuto watches her leave then hangs his head down, drops down by the wall, and then sighs frustratedly.

As she walked, she was thinking all kinds of things. 'What should I do now?' 'Yuuto really just confesses his love for me.. what do I do?!' 'I don't even know my own feelings!'

Sona smiles at Mae, "Don't worry, you just have to do what I say, and I guarantee that you'll get Sanyu to be yours. Ayumi stands no chance towards you." Mae looks at Sona, "Then. I shall trust you." Her greed to have Sanyu has got the best of her. She will look up to Sona and believe that she will end up having Sanyu with her. Sona bites her lips, "I won't fail you.. Mae."
