@aussie: there's a reason why Reina acts likes that. but of course, whatever the reason, she has no right to act like the way she does now
I think Sayu would be more annoying to you soon
@kurosawa87: yeh... I'm being real cruel to Eri
But as to Risa... well, maybe Ai can help her with that
@amEthystx: ahh~ i love reading long comments. Sorry, my comments not nearly as long as yours
But you got one thing right about Ch. 8... I'm really not telling you anything
@rndmnwierd: yay for Christmas!!!
and hold on to those sadistic images... maybe Christmas will come twice
(can't promise anything though)
@badsaints: wow, you're definitely on the right track there...
@kRisZ:
“I’ll just tear her apart from Risa, once again.”
Eh?!? 
@Swtme03: Reina IS a sexy biscuit, well said!
Thanks for all the comments~~~ you don't know HOW much they help (well, maybe you do)
here's the next chapter~ If I work fast enough, you might even get another one by tonight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 11 “Eri, tell me what’s wrong! The last time we came back from DFA, you acted the same way. You have to tell me what’s up.”
“I… I’m sorry, Risa-chan. Just go home without me, I… want to be alone… for a while.”
Eri shook off Risa’s hand on her shoulder and crossed the street to the entrance of the park. Risa watched her disappear, and sighed. Eri was acting
really weird; she had succeeded in bringing Tanaka Reina to the recording studio but she herself had shown up a
lot later, looking tired. Risa started to think whether something happened between her friend and the yankii idol but Eri didn’t tell her anything. And it wasn’t like she could ask Reina.
The song writer sighed deeply and started to walk down the street to her own home. She insisted on staying with High-Queen for the practice recording session but Ai had insisted she go home and rest. She ran the day’s course of events through her head and blushed as her favorite idol’s smiling face appeared in her mind. The ends of Risa’s lips covered up a little, as her walking slowly transitioned to skipping.

A short, light-brown haired girl was sitting on the bench in the park across from the DFA building. She was reading a large but thin book, and had a picnic basket next to her. Occasionally, she wrote down little side notes on the margin of the book.
Then, she heard fast footsteps walking by her. The girl’s head shot up and spotted her most admired upperclassman and inspiration stalking past with her arms wrapped around herself.
“Kamei senpai!” the short girl exclaimed with a big smile.
Eri stopped in her tracks and slowly looked back to where the familiar bright voice had come from. She smiled a little.
“Oh, it’s you. Um, Linlin, was it?”
“I’m glad you remember,” Linlin said, ecstatic. But then, she noticed something wasn’t right. Eri was smiling but her eyes were bloodshot. Her whole body was shaking and it wasn’t even cold. Autumn had yet to come. “Um, senpai… are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Eri answered too quickly. Now, Linlin
knew something was up. But she didn’t want to dig into the older girl’s business. She instead took her hands and pulled her over to the bench, and sat her down next to herself.
“I was eating lunch out here because the weather was pretty nice… at least it was,” Linlin remarked, looking up at the gray clouds rushing in. “But I don’t think it’ll rain hard anytime soon. That’s why I’ve been sitting here, looking at the newest cook book I got. Take a look with me.”
“Linlin, I’m sorry, I—”
“I don’t know what happened, Kamei senpai,” Linlin interrupted in a serious tone. “But if you stay alone and do nothing about it, it won’t help.” Then, the tone of her voice changed back into the energetic sound. “Oooh, look at this one! They’re cream puffs, do you like cream puffs?”
Eri really wanted to be alone. But the younger girl looked at her with such expectant eyes that she couldn’t help but smile. She nodded and the little chef’s grin stretched out wider. She flipped to the next page. A loud gasp escaped from her lips, and she froze.
“Linlin, what’s wrong? Hey, are you okay?” Eri waved her hand in front of Linlin’s awe stricken face. She raised an eyebrow.
“It’s… It’s…” Linlin stammered.
“It’s… what? Linlin, are you okay?” Eri asked, impatient.
“It’s… It’s a… a…”
“Linlin… what is it?”
“It’s… a… CREPE!!!!!” Linlin shouted, her voice flying up a couple octaves. Eri could almost see tears of joy, welling up in Linlin’s eyes. “Oh my gosh, this book has all different kinds of crepe recipes, look at this!” She flipped through the pages in front of Eri’s eyes.
That was when it hit her; Eri just burst out laughing uncontrollably. This girl was just too cute! “I assume you really like crepes?” Eris said in between giggles.
“Of course!” Linlin yelled excitedly. “I love crepes! It was the first dessert I tasted in Japan and it was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten! Do you like crepes, Kamei senpai?”
“Yeah, I like them,” Eri answered, still laughing. “Probably not as much as you do, though.”
“Nobody beats my love for crepes,” Linlin declared. “Next time, I’ll make some for you, senpai. We can have a picnic together before the weather gets too cold. How about it?”
Again, Linlin stared with those sparkling, expectant eyes and Eri couldn’t refuse.
“Sure. I’d like that,” the older girl answered. In less than five minutes, the younger girl had completely preoccupied Eri’s mind with her smiles and laughs.
“Linlin… thanks. You were right; I think this is helping me a lot more than staying in a corner all alone.”
“Your welcome,” Linlin answered, grinning. “Whenever you need some laughs, just call Linlin!”

Reina shoved on her sunglasses and walked out of the DFA building. More gray clouds had appeared in the sky, so the idol started to dig through her large handbag for her umbrella. She had decided to walk; she did
not want to get involved with public transportation again. She had felt too lazy to drive in the morning so she had taken a taxi to DFA. The taxi driver had kept on babbling on and on about how much he loved High-Queen, so Reina had to keep up her idol face, smiling and nodding along.
When she finally unearthed the umbrella, she looked towards the park by pure chance. On the bench near the entrance, there were two girls talking and laughing together. The idol immediately recognized one of them. She shook her head and scoffed.
“
Pathetic,” Reina thought. “
That girl really is an idiot.” She then popped her umbrella open and disappeared down the street.
