Chapter - 128 ( End of Month )

"Where were you, Houki-chan?!" Cecilia exclaimed when she saw her roommate enter the classroom.

"W-Well…" Houki looked away as her cheeks turned a pretty pink.

". . ." Cecilia narrowed her eyes as she watched as Cloud walked in a few seconds after her friend and quickly connected the dots-"Y-You!"

"I-It's not what you think!" Houki exclaimed as he moved his hands erratically.

". . ." Cecilia narrowed her eyes again but nodded when she realized that she wasn't lying.

The Night Schedule, was what they called the 'Curfew' that was in the rules of the Academy. After 8 p.m., the students could not leave their rooms to prevent problems or misunderstandings.

"Ok... we'll talk later... although now I'm curious to know how much they were talking about" - said the girl from the UK.

Houki blushed again when she heard the girl's question, though a happy smile soon appeared on her face.

"Hello girls, hello Cloud-kun"-Charlotte said as she approached the group and gave the boy a kiss on the cheek-"I need to talk to you later"

"Ok" -nodded the blonde as he smiled at the girl- "I also have to talk to you about something"

". . ." - Charlotte frowned for a few seconds but quickly relaxed. She quickly looked at the girl from Japan, who seemed to be fighting with herself trying to say something - "Is something wrong, Houki-san?"

"N-No...it's nothing" Houki muttered as she shook her head.

"Ok…" Charlotte decided to put her aside as she sat next to her boyfriend and took her hand. She had decided that she would start acting more like a normal girlfriend and not like a friend.

Cloud understood what she was trying to do and nodded, after all, he also knew that he was not acting in the best way with Charlotte after everything they did.

* * * * *

The classes continued and Chifuyu along with Maya had already left the room.

Cloud, Charlotte, and Houki were walking towards the courtyard while Cecilia and Laura looked at them seriously.

"What do you think is happening?" Cecilia asked as she looked at her ex-enemy.

"I have some theories, some much stranger than the others... but I'm pretty sure it's because Shinonono Houki made his move last night"-said Laura-"Or at least that's what his behavior tells me. the"

"I think the same" - murmured the girl from UK - "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Simple… Houki has been looking at Cloud Strife and Charlotte all day" – answered the girl from Germany- "Also, I could detect the feeling of guilt in his eyes"

"I see…" Cecilia nodded as her brow furrowed even more—"I'm falling behind…"

"And yet you are much more advanced than me" - Laura replied as she shook her head - "Although seeing my past attitude, I understand why I am at such a disadvantage"

"Don't worry, you'll soon be like us"- Cecilia smiled as she looked at the girl. She never thought that she would become friends with Laura, not with the first impression they had.

"Thank you"- Laura replied normally, although a small smile was present on her doll face. She had to admit that what she was feeling right now was interesting because she never thought she would have any friends.

* * * * *

"I know what you're going to tell me, I'm not stupid, Cloud"-Charlotte said as she looked at Houki-"Besides...it's obvious seeing that she's here too"

"I'm sorry, Charlotte-san" - the girl apologized.

"No... you don't have to apologize" - the girl from France sighed - "Look, Houki-san... I can't blame you for having feelings for my boyfriend, not when you've had them for all these years"

". . ." Houki nodded, although she still felt a little guilty.

"Listen, Houki-san... I know very well that my relationship with Cloud is more one of words" - the girl sighed as she gave the blond an annoyed look, who at least had the decency to blush with embarrassment because it was true - "And let's say that I distanced myself a little more when I heard that Cloud had sex with Maya sensei... moment that you used to your advantage from what I see"

Houki smiled sheepishly because it was true. She hadn't stopped interacting normally with Cloud while the others were skyrocketing with jealousy.

"I'm upset that my boyfriend is with other women, I can't deny that... but if I'm going to have to share, at least it's with girls I know I can give my back without fear" - continued Charlotte - "You're my friend , Houki,, you were the first of the girls to accept me as a woman even though I started a relationship with the boy you liked... that's why if I have to share, I'm happy it's with you"

"Thank you"-smiled Houki as he hugged the girl.

"In the end I couldn't say anything..." Cloud thought as she sighed regretfully-"I guess I'll have to make up for it the right way"

* * * * *

The days continued past and the month was over.

There were only 2 days left to go to the Paradise Island and the girls couldn't hide their excitement.

The relationship between Charlotte and Cloud not only returned to normal, but it improved because now the two were acting as a couple, with the inclusion of Houki, of course. The three of them did almost everything together, there were even times where the three of them slept in the same bed, although they still hadn't broken that last barrier, although that didn't mean they didn't do some raunchy things.

Maya would come to her room from time to time to have an intimate moment, although there were many times where they just cuddled up while talking about their day and her problems because they didn't want their relationship to be based only on sex.

Cecilia and Laura decided to put aside their inhibitions and start fighting with everything they had without sabotaging each other.

Tatenashi had moved away from Cloud because she didn't want to admit that she was in love with the blond, so she decided to take a breather to let her feelings calm down a bit, although this was backfiring because the longer she was away from the boy, the more she missed him.

Ichika and Rin were much more comfortable with each other now, to the point that they spent most of their downtime together.

Tina felt like the third wheel in the relationship, so she decided to approach Cloud's group to bond, after all, the girls in her class weren't funny.

Chifuyu had decided that her date would be on the Island and far from it she was acting as usual.

Tabane would appear from time to time, though there were times when he did so at inopportune moments, like the time when Houki and Cloud were exploring each other's bodies and she stormed into the room, only to scream in embarrassment when he saw what his sister was doing. The only positive point was that the two teenagers were still wearing clothes because otherwise she would have exploded.

At this time the girls were gathered while reviewing the trip itinerary.

"After entering the hotel, we will have an hour to be able to explore the Island as we want" - said Houki while taking the pamphlet - "After that we will meet at the Beach to enjoy the landscape of the Island"

"The rooms were assigned in the same way as the Academy, that means there will be no roommate changes" - Charlotte said as Laura nodded.

"But Ichika and Cloud have solitary rooms" - said Cecilia.

"Maybe they share one?" Rin asked as she sighed regretfully. If Ichika had a lonely room, she could finally fulfill her fantasy and...

"What's wrong, Rin-san?" - Cecilia asked when she saw the red face of the girl from China.

"N-Nothing! N-It's nothing!" Rin exclaimed as he shook his head.

"I think someone had a perverted idea" - Laura said calmly as the girl's face lit up again.

"Ara~Ara~! How daring, Rin-san" - Charlotte said with a big smile.

"Don't play innocent, I know very well that you do those perverted things with your boyfriend!" - exclaimed the girl from China defensively while Charlotte blushed with great intensity - "I-I don't know what you're talking about"

"I heard you talking to Houki about your intimate moments... so don't play the pure, perverted girl" - Rin snorted as the faces of the two mentioned began to release steam.

"I want information" - Laura said seriously - "This can be vital for future strategies"

"I-I also want information" - said Cecilia with jealousy and shame.

"I didn't know they were so advanced" - said Tina with surprise - "And they say I'm the liberal one"

"You better give up and talk, you have no escape now that the others also know the truth" - Rin said with interest. Maybe with the information she gets from her friends, she could increase her success factors when she tries to get into the room of her childhood friend / boy she liked / fiancé.

". . ." - Houki and Charlotte sighed with regret as they talked about what they had done, only to notice how the girls were completely red for their daring actions.
