After working for YUU's summer concert, I been hopping from one place to another and finally landing a job in a convenient 24/7 store near the Famille', now I can finally focus and catch up with my studies. Being first in my Socio-Political class I have time to read on the notes I borrowed from Ogata to review the lesson I missed.

Scrunching at my notes I heard someone's footstep heading to my direction. Silk black hair flailing from the wind near an open window her beauty shimmer like the summer sun.

A few people in the room wowed in awe as this oriental beauty sat beside me.

"K-Kasumi?" in my surprised I stutter.

She looked at me with piercing gaze as she moves slightly away from me.

(I guess that's her signal saying not to talk to her during class...ehehe, obviously she's still not comfortable with me around.)

(The only reason I can think of on why she's sitting next to me is probably to avoid anyone from talking to her...)

(Didn't know she's taking socio-political studies, she's not with Yomiko today? They probably have different class today, whelp better not try to bother her, since she still hates me from that time.)

(Oh boy if the guys in this university knew that I'm living with her and 5 other gorgeous girls in the same roof they'd probably murder me.)

While I was immersed in my own thought I didn't notice that...

"H-hey!"

"What do you...Oh!"

"Y-you drop this." She said while looking at me awkwardly.

"What's going on with that head of yours, you're clearly not studying since you've been staring at a blank page of your notes."

"T-thank you." (she picked up my pen, more importantly, she's talking to me.)

"I..uh, I was just...eheheheh." I laughed awkwardly as she looks at me with a narrowed stare.

While I try to hold an awkward conversation with her I can clearly hear, whispers of gossip behind us.

"Who the fuck is that guy?!"

"The cold queen is talking to him casually."

"Lucky fucking guy!"

(I can hear you guys you know...)

Trying to prep myself to talk to her properly when. My attention turned to a group of guys obviously not from our university heading to our way.

While Kasumi is getting her notes out from her bag one the guy who looks like a magazine model shyly approach her.

"H-Hi you might be surprised that I know you..."

(That's not how you should start a conversation with someone you barely knew, Mr. Model.)

Mr. Model continues with his charming spiel meanwhile Kasumi is just blatantly ignoring him reading her notes then he proceeds to sit with her which made Kasumi instantly slides besides me.

Mr. Model noticed this and.

"Dude do you mind, I'm talking to my princess here."

Then Kasumi ignoring him completely starts having light conversation with me,

"Mina, do you have the handouts yesterday, it seems I misplaced mine." She asked looking at me sharply.

"Y-yeah I still have it, give me a sec."

I was about to get that piece of paper in my bag when.

"Oh, you knew this, guy? A little advice you should really choose your friends, you're devaluing yourself with knowing or even close with..." he glances at me and gives me this disgusted look..." a plain guy like him."

Kasumi looks clearly irritated she gives me a sharp look shakes her head lightly and draw a small smile on her face without uttering a single word I understood what she's trying to say.

As she's about to look at him she was caught by surprise when Mr. Model held her hand which she instantly shifts her attention towards him and whipped a lightning fast slap.

The sound of palm to cheeks resonated into the entire classroom. Followed by the whole class cheering in awe.

"Ooh, that must have sting!"

(I instantly flinched hearing that sound for I was at the receiving end of that lighting slap as well.)

(I know right!?)

"Get Rekt!"

Mr. Model seems to whimper consoling his swollen cheeks, at that the remaining four immediately comes to his rescue.

"Look here missy, we all know you're a looker and all, and our junior member here got his eyes on you, so be a doll and show at least some kindness to him." Said douche I mean let's just call him model number 1 since there's 4 of them I I don't know their names.

Shy models seem to be a bit embarrassed and almost try to stop them harassing Kasumi but obediently just kept quite like the good kohai to his sempai.

"I'm sorry I didn't know it was an obligation to show kindness to people who don't respect someone's private space." She said with a stern look on her face.

(I was worried for a moment there I guess she has the experience to handle this kind of guys.)

"Ooh feisty, I love that in my woman." Said douche number who's wearing a douche baseball cap.

Then if it isn't douche enough douche number 3 topped on his game and douche up to the next level of doucheness. Moves towards Kasumi and tries to grab her shoulder but before he could utter his probably douche line he got instantly wiped with a lightning fast slap.

"Don't you dare touch me!" She sneered.

Douche number 3 held his cheek wide eye and in shock on what happens and how fast her hand he didn't see it coming.

They were all caught by surprise on how fast was Kasumi's whipped like hand, they stood there in shock, and Minamino waiting for this opportunity moves closer and stood in the middle of them completely blocking Kasumi from them.

"Now, guys I think it's about time for you to leave." He said in a firm voice trying to intimidate them, but those guys are stupid his intimidation didn't work.

They just stood there staring and questioning Mina's existence.

"Are you okay Kasumi? He asked then he noticed her hands were shaking.

(She's terrified, she was so calm when facing them, how could I even think that she'd be okay handling theses idiots.)

Then...

"Hey ugly! Said douche number 2 who seem to be sizing him up,

(Ugly?...well yeah based on their standards I'm actually ugly considering the fact that they are all good looking, damn it did I just pity myself?)

As douche 1, was planning to wail in a sucker punch, douche 2 signal him to stop.

(I guess some of them are using their brain as if I didn't notice what he's planning but If he actually did punch me I would let them, they'd be kicked out immediately without further commotion.)

"Fine! Let's take this outside!" said douche 1.

"Fine by me..." he said but as he's about to take a step Kasumi to grab the edge of his shirt, then looked at him with worried eyes. She may not have said a single word but he completely understands her.

"Oh' don't worry, I won't hurt them...that much." Smiling awkwardly he was dragged out of the room and at the back of the school.

Meanwhile at that same moment.

In the classroom, it seems they still talking about a group of good-looking guys dragged a plain looking guy outside the room.

Meanwhile, Kasumi's completely worried.

(Why did he do that? Is he going to be okay?! He did say he's not going to hurt them much why would he say that clearly I'm not worried about him beating them up and that would mean he can defend himself...right?)

(I'm sure he's going to be okay, I remember Miyoko said something about him being a good fighter, I guess I should focus on my studies.)

(He's going to be okay...)

A minute later....

(He's going to be okay...right?)

Meanwhile

(Shit I might actually be in trouble here...)

Struggling to stand in front of this five douche he thought to himself that this might be the first time he actually can't stand against these kinds of people

"Oho what, are you just going to stand there..." said douche one smirking in confidence

(I'm done, I'm so done...)

"You know what guys, I'm done, you guys won."

(They'd been throwing lame puns and dumb jokes that's painfully not even funny and I'm running out of quirky reply to give them, I'm so done with this dumb assess.)

"You heard that guys he yielded it mean we won!" said douche number two.

He turns back and walks away from them while they give each other a congratulatory hug while saying "no homo" to each other and series of high fives...

When he came back to the classroom, he was welcomed with a round of applause, he had a glimpse of Kasumi's glaze for a moment he thought that her face brightens a bit confuse he was approached by the professor and...

"I heard that you handled a confrontation with trespassers in our school?"

"Y-yes, sir..."

"It seems that it didn't end up and a fight since you don't have any bruise or blood stains on your clothes."

(I almost bleed out of their stupidly but all is well, I guess.)

"I'll commend you for that."

"T-thank you?" as he was about to enter the room the professor blocked his way, moving to left but the professor blocked him again.

"Uh..sir?"

"What?"

"You're blocking the way?"

"Yes I am, what of it?"

"Well, uh...can I come inside?"

"No."

"N-no?!"

"You're late, and I don't tolerate lethargic students..." said the professor then slammed the door which almost hit his nose.

"What the fu..."

And since that's the only class he had for the day, and his work is in the evening he decided to stay in the library to wilt his time. At the library, he picks a random book, read the first line and instantly fell asleep...

A few hours later, the sun sets and the students closed their book, pack their bags and goes on their separate ways, hand waving for goodbye and smile flailing while they set for tomorrow, meanwhile in the library.

"Uhm, miss..." reluctant to approach the renowned 'Unobtainable Rose' of the university the guy librarian awkward as he may stiflingly walk towards Kasumi.

"W-we're about to close, so umm..." but before he could finish Kasumi gave him a sharp glare and.

"I understand."

"Oh! Right, j-just leave those books in the t-table...if you'll excuse me then..." feeling defeated he walk back to the reception table.

She put the book that she's reading in her bag and stared at the person who's sleeping without a care on the world a book in the head sitting beside her.

In a soft voice, she tried to wake-up Mr. Sleeping Ugly.

"M-Mina...it's time to go..."

Mina the light sleeper he wakes up instantly, which made Kasumi suddenly jumps up from her seat. Eyes still daze he stood up, wiping the sleep out his eyes.

"Okay..."

Still half asleep mistakenly thought he was grabbing his bag that's in his back all this time grabbed Kasumi's hand, surprised by it, Kasumi was shocked and didn't do anything while Mina walks toward the exit, still woozy and eyes blurry..

When the old female librarian saw them, she smiled at them and said.

"Awwe, how sweet, young love."

Hearing that Kasumi walks faster, blushing due to embarrassment, unaware she's grabbing on to Mina's hand they continue walking.

Walking holding hands seems to be natural to them, as they both are unaware, Kasumi's immersed in the book that she's reading in her other hand, Minamino still half asleep yawning from time to time they walk all the way to the Famille' holding hands then...

Standing on the front door they were greeted by Miyoko going for her afternoon jog noticed they were holding hands she said to Kasumi.

"Oh! I didn't you guys are already that close." She said while pointing at their holding hands, Kasumi lifting up her left-hand fingers entwined with Mina's hand finally caught the gist of the situation there in, and remembering that they were holding hands the whole way she quickly puffs into a tomato.

Miyoko anticipating what's going to happen next move back inside slowly closing the door.

"Oh boy..." Miyoko said rubbing her forehead.

"Miyoko who's outside?! Asked Rei when she noticed Miyoko's dreaded expression. A moment later they heard Kasumi's scream from the outside followed by a huge thump that almost frayed the door open.

"M-Miyoko that's Kasumi right?! Quickly open the door something might have happens to her." Said the worried Rei as she rushes towards the main door.

But before she could Miyoko stopped her and at that moment, the door opened Kasumi red and embarrassed rushed inside and hurriedly went upstairs.

Then Minamino dropped dead in front of the widely opened door.
