I WISH- Updated 5/8/2014

[kuro808]

This idea came up from a person who wanted to write a fic about them but I just followed the pairing

The title is the theme to this fic, hopefully I can finish this

One

The crowd

Filled with life

As I stood with a paper that was folded many times before.

My speech encouraging the students, faculty, and others to look forward

However, forward to me was the finish line.

My last year… As I feared everything leading to graduation

The last time I see all the seasons as a high school student.

The crowd settles into their seats, my lips touching the microphone like a soft kiss.

“Welcome everybody to the new school year!  I, Anai Chihiro, have been elected as your president.  Please treat me nicely this year wishing you good luck.”

----
Two

Applause broke the silence as my hands felt the secretions of nerves and the week leading up to this event.

I walked back to my seat next to Ota and Sashihara.

The two who were guides for our class had finally breathed relief.

Ota was my senpai for the most part and led the way to guiding me to control my peers.

Sashihara was encouraging us to push ourselves beyond our limits to a victory over the upperclassmen in the overall race.

They stood stoic in front of the school as proud mentors for my class.

Simply they were examples of extraordinary people.
----
Three

It ended with a huge applause with my classmates and their parents in front of us.

Mother and father flashed their thumbs toward me as we walked off to the staging area.

“Anai-san, we have confidence in you.”  Sashihara patted my head.

“Don’t let your class down.”  Ota added as I was excused to my class.

The hallway seemed smaller than a year ago.

It was once humongous to my eyes now it seemed normal.

The time was set to finish strong.

I glanced in the classroom to look at the setup.

It was the last handful of times I would ever see it like this again.
----
Four

There were certain things I found about sitting in the middle of a class.

You are always involved in a conversation and you can never fall asleep.

As I took my seat, the people filed in and the short-haired girl with her bare forehead waved in front of me.

“Haruppi!”  I jumped as she took her seat.

Kodama Haruka had always drawn certain things out of me.  She was charming and never stopped chatting despite her lisp.

It was the main reason why I became class president and led the way.

Then, as the bell rang, a new student stood there with shoulder-length hair and her hands cupped together.

“Let’s greet our new student, Matsuoka Natsumi.”
----
Five

The class had suddenly gotten quiet as she introduced herself.

Whispers had filled the class as she took the seat in front of me.

Her aura was a glowing black with her utensils out for lecture.

She kept her head down as lecture went along and raised her hand when needed.

When it did end, a few of the males rounded around her during the interim.

Haruppi and I walked over to the bathroom where the antenna of gossip blurted out about the new student.

“I think she is a yankii.”

I shook my head before doing my business before the next class.

[Yuki88]

[kuro808]

I feel excited too but I wonder how long I shall feel excited

Six

The day went on with the usual gossip about the new girl until the confrontation with the leader of the gang had approached her.

Haruppi was off to her club activities leaving me to wait for the first meeting to start as I stood outside the room.

Natsumi didn’t speak as the lecture stopped everyone in their sights.

“Please, I’m not a yankii.”  She spoke in a low tone as she walked by.

Everyone watched as she passed by everyone and then stopped in front of me.

“Meet me tomorrow before school on the rooftop.”

I nodded before walking back into the classroom with my palms sweaty from her command.  I didn’t expect such friction for my first day.
----
Seven

The meeting was a quick overview of the year and adjourned it with the rest escaping into the cool late afternoon.

“Wait up!”  Haruppi’s voice broke me from my dome of solitude.

Haruppi was president of speech club.  Her main responsibility is to promote speech as a way that all can communicate effectively.

In addition, it is to help people don’t fear speech impediments.

My feelings had gone to the issue of tomorrow morning and decided to walk alone.

Everything had gone into my mind about her.

It might have been just a way to conform to the top or a way to seek competition.

My thoughts followed me as I faced the computer to surf before doing homework.

However, it seemed difficult to concentrate and decided to look up her name instead.
----
Eight

I was shocked.

Nothing.  Nil.  Nada.  Zero.

She seemed to be becoming from the other side of existence.

Two hours was filled with frustration of not finding her that I started on homework to relieve the stress before going off to sleep.

I suddenly awoke from my slumber to realize I was an hour earlier than the alarm.

Staring at the clock, I found myself nervous about what the morning would provide that my eyes fluttered before rolling out of bed.

The shower got me energized to seek the truth that I dressed in regular clothes than my uniform.

Once I realized it, I changed clothing and strolled to school to see the winds picked up suddenly.

I got onto the school grounds and rushed up to the rooftop where she stood stoically on the edge.
----
Nine

“Matsuoka-san!”

“Anai-san… I want to tell you something.”

She came up closer and wrapped her arm around my waist.

“The reason why I’m here was I got kicked out of the prep school for hanging around with my friend.”

“What is wrong with that?”  I asked when her hand cupping my head.

“I loved her.”

Love?  My thoughts went about a boy until she pecked me on the cheek.

My body turned into jelly as she pulled back realizing her mistake.

“You love girls?”

She nodded slowly before walking passed me and grabbed her bag before heading to the door.
----
Ten

The bell rang as I sat in my seat when Natsumi took her seat flashing a smile to me.

Being anxious about her past only grew within me with the day going on.

Lunch time seemed to bring my tension down when I sat in the park with Haruppi as I began to see Natsumi alone under the tree.

“Chi-chan?  Are you okay?”

“Yes, it is just I don’t want the new student to feel left out…”

“Oh?  Let her enjoy our company.”

Haruppi called out to her catching her attention to join us for lunch.

She sat there quietly as we exchanged looks often until the bell rang.

Haruppi rushed off leaving us behind.

“Do you like her?”

“She’s my friend…”

“You would make a great couple.”  She smiled while handing me a piece of paper.

It was an email address and a number.

I punched in the number and saw a text returned with Natsumi’s name.

[Yuki88]

Natsu so aggressive xD

But Chiichan was torn hmm.

[Shinoki]

....omg...
*thumbs up*
*glomps*

---please wait a few seconds as currently Shino is experiencing a boost of positive emotions like a certain monkey would experience in a certain famous work that features mystical wishing orbs---

Okay~ whew...

[kuro808]

Thanks, not many have done it and I hoped there would be more...

Eleven

After school, I managed to get another mail from her about the class which everyone had seemed to agree.

Natsumi headed to the library when I had to head to guitar lessons.

Strumming soothed everything that had gone through my mind.

Haruppi stepped into the room with Mai-chan who was intrigued by the president’s skills.

Fuchigami Mai was one of the recent transfers that was part of the weather club and tried to form the music club before a mishap shut out the idea.

I stopped to realize the small audience had formed and were applauding my efforts.

Glancing at my phone a message popped up,

[See ya tomorrow!]

I continued on until I saw the clock again and ran back home to start on my homework.
----
Twelve

The feelings were all being crushed into a ball as I started on the assignment.

That secret seemed to be catching me on a string.

That fish out of water feeling was consuming me as the phone seemingly telling me to answer back.

I wondered if she would answer such things.

[Oyasumi!]

A few minutes later the notification caught me by surprise.

[You sleep that early! I could only imagine that Haruppi and you must be cuddling up right now ]

My heart sunk a bit to the message.

She was a friend but to see her as beyond that seemed impossible…

[Haruppi is my friend… Nothing beyond that lol.  Anyways good luck on homework]

I shut down my phone to avoid the distraction and quickly finish up before bed.
----

Thirteen

I awoke realizing I had forgotten to turn on my phone but amazingly it was the mental clock that had gotten me up.

After the usual routine, I headed to school when I saw Haruppi and Mai were heading up the stairs.

The student body rushed to a fight between two boys. 

A male teacher tore the two apart when Natsumi had been in the corner with her sleeve stretched out.

“What happened?”

“They were confessing to me when they started tugging at me and finally they grabbed each other.”

I began to think about her explanation and knew this was going to be awkward if they figured it out.

She went off to the infirmary for evaluation as Haruppi took me to the side.

“I wish for boys to fight over me.”  She smiled before we headed off to the classroom.
----
Fourteen

[I’m okay.  You don’t have to worry…]

That was the message I received from lunch period as she stayed in the infirmary complaining about her shaken condition.

Haruppi and I walked out to our usual place for lunch.

There were few distractions.

Unfortunately, I became distracted myself about Natsumi.

Haruppi observed me throughout my life and could point out when I felt stressed.

Her usual speech about relaxing would soothe me down but something hadn’t felt right and walked back into the building.

[Chi-chan, I’ll meet you back in class.]

Haruppi sent me a message when I saw the nurse exiting the room.

“Anai-san!  Are you okay?”

I nodded and took a seat next to her on the bed.
----
Fifteen

She extended her right hand placing it onto mines as she leaned forward pecking me on the cheek.

Natsumi scooted forward nudging me onto the bed when I suddenly rolled off.

I saw in her eyes the answer but it had become a blender filled with emotions.

My body wanted none of this but my heart was like a bomb ready to go off.

My lips quivered looking at her.

“Can I call you Natsu?”  I asked as she nodded with a smile.

“I want to call you something too.”  She said.

Before I could say yes, she answered,

“Kyappu.”

I tilted my head in confusion as I glared at her.

“I watched you and since your president, you need to control our classmates like a captain.”

“You have confidence?”

“I know so and somewhere in your heart, you are going to lead the way to safety.”

My body melted when she gave me her explanation but I couldn’t expect her to control my feelings.

[kuro808]

Sixteen

The day had ended quietly as I saw Natsu coming out of the infirmary with a note.

She crumpled the note in her hand and threw it into the bin before running up to us.

“May I walk home with you guys?”

“Sure.”  Haruppi answered quickly as I stood between the two.

I wasn’t sure what to bring up or really to talk until I felt a warm hand locked up with mines.

“Chi-chan, what are you planning for the year?”  Haruppi asked catching me with blushed cheeks.

“Um… maybe a dance or two with the usual sports festival…”

“That sounds great.”  Natsu added.

“Can I add a suggestion?”  Harupi raised her hand like if she was still in school.

“Sure.”

“Maybe a debate?”

“That is a great idea.  I have to bring it up to the council first.”

Haruppi giggled that she would have her suggestion come up when I felt a finger touch my cheek.

“Sorry I have to go this way.  I’ll see you guys later.”

My heart exploded when she touched my cheek and suddenly it was no game anymore to me.
----
Seventeen

I had to rush home.

Surely, I couldn’t say I didn’t like her.

She was cute but not to be suited her girlfriend.

There were too many things on my mind when I dropped my bag onto my foot in front of my parents,

Embarrassing as it was, I had gotten over such trivial items and just stared at my phone.

There had to be a message apologizing for her actions and an hour had passed to no reply.

My fingers hit the phone to get the only thing on my mind.

(That was rather forward.)

(Aren’t you and Haruppi together?)

(No!  We are close friends and I also have no interest in girls)

(I see)

I couldn’t reply to her concern.

I didn’t want to.
----
Eighteen

The sun tapped me waking me up from my slumber as I checked my phone.

No message had been received since last night.

I had grown weary that I may have broken her heart.

School shown nothing had happened when there was a man standing in front with another male in his grasp.

He had dropped him to the ground when I saw his face.

It was Shogo, a bully who would torture boys but had a soft spot for me.

He walked up with a smile on his face and extended his hand out to me.

“Chihiro… you still look beautiful.”

“Sorry, I don’t love you.”  I said running into the building but he grabbed me from behind.

“I still like you no matter what.”

Suddenly, I felt his grasp gone limp.

“Who hit me?”  He grunted when another shot paralyzed him to the ground.

“I did.  If you ever touch her again, I will leave you squirming.”  Natsu warned as he stumbled to his feet and ran off.

She smiled before walking off to class but I couldn’t understand what had happened but I knew it would have to wait.
----
Nineteen

The buzz was about Natsu saving my life.

She was quite happy yet disappointed as I thanked her.

Yet, I couldn’t say that I would be with her as she probably had expected.

The school praised her for her courage which gave her a reason to smile.

Then, I finally had the guts to explain myself when I saw her entered the library.

I promised myself that she had to understand my reasoning when I ran up to request a key for a study room.

“Anai-san… you don’t have to.”

“Can I just explain myself?”

“I know why and it isn’t about me for sure but it is because I’m awkward.”

I pushed her into the room taking a chair to sit down.
----
Twenty

“The reason is I’m afraid to be close because we had a student expelled for indecency.”

“If kissing in public is the problem then I’m okay.”

“What got you kicked out from your last school?”  I asked.

“The girl was a piano prodigy.  She was everything that I had wanted in my heart.  I called her Moripo and she likened it because we played around at first and then we kissed.”

She stood up to lock the door.

“We had gotten serious to the point where we would explore everything about each other until the headmaster saw us nuzzling.”

“What else happened?”

“My parents were disappointed by the outcome because they knew I had liked female for a long time and they accepted it as for Moripo, she had to break up with me as she was cherished at the school.”

“So it was the reason why you transferred here?”

“Yes but the thing is I actually didn’t expect the choices to be few.”

I sat back in the chair as she scooted over.

“I still have a crush on you.”

[Shinoki]

My heart..nyaa...much smiles for me...such enjoyable...very look forward...wow...

[kuro808]

My heart..nyaa...much smiles for me...such enjoyable...very look forward...wow...

Thanks it is one of those interesting things I like about writing, the dynamics

Twenty-one

I could only sigh as she tried to place her hand on my lap.

It only seemed harmless until I felt an urge to try it once.

Leaning in, my lips pressed together onto her soft cheek.

It was like any normal kiss but soon I felt our fingers touch each other.

Our hands joined for a bit before I broke it off.

There were so many things on my mind as I saw her keeping her distance.

Then, I could see my future with a shady character when I couldn’t pursue it any further.

“Sorry, I need to go home.”

I ran out of the room leaving the key on the table when she followed to the school ground.

“I’m sorry!”

“It isn’t your fault.”  I yelled back before running off to home.

Frustrated, I could only think about what would happen but just an innocent kiss could ruin everything.

Then, I finally realized what my heart had been saying:

Give her a chance.

I didn’t want to be a victim.

She would only get hurt when it popped up.

[Chi-chan, what is wrong? –Haruppi]

[I’m becoming like Chori.]
----
Twenty-two

Chori was a friend who had her way working through the ranks of high school with little care to her reputation.

Nakanishi Chiyori had achieved any comedian’s dream of getting to a third round with a classmate.

However, she had longed for a suitor but boys were more into the beauty that was beyond hers.

When I had to take the presidency, she had assisted in transition when she had met her.

Chori was head over heels for hr.

Her humor matched well with hers and they hit it off.

The problem was both were moving to separate places. 

Chori wanted to follow her but she knew schooling was just as important.

Then, the day before her departure, she found out that her girlfriend was moving because of the love interest.

Chori was heartbroken but decided to move on without her.

[Natsu, I want to say that… if you love me… I want you to meet me on the roof tomorrow]

I closed my phone for the night and snugged up to the pillow feeling the warmth from the kiss this afternoon.
----
Twenty-three

I woke up before my alarm clock and deactivated it.  My parents were still asleep and I had decided to head to the convenience store for breakfast.

After a quick shower, I had glanced at my phone seeing the envelope on the top right.

I swiped it and waited for the message to pop up.

[I will then…]

I threw a jacket over my uniform before leaving the house and felt the crisp spring breeze hitting my face.

Rushing over to the convenience store, the old man had waved at me as I passed him.

I gathered my food and paid for it quickly knowing that thirty minutes was the time I had to wait for the school gates.

However, I knew how to get around and I walked in using my card for events.

The light mist hit me as I entered the building to the sound coming from the music room.

I pushed open the door to a female playing the piano.

The melody has hooked me in when she turned with eyes of coal staring back at me.

“I finally found the place of exile.”
----
Twenty-four

Exile?  What did she mean of exile?

I began to think when I saw the uniform.  The color scheme it was another school.  She stood up from the piano and walked up to me.

“Where’s Natsu?”

“She should be here soon…”  I answered.

“I wouldn’t be so angry if I didn’t manage to read her text awhile back.”

I glared at her trying to get her attention and when she turned, she bowed towards me.

“I’m Moriyasu Madoka.  Natsu’s girlfriend.”

My heart sank when I heard those words.

Maybe it was just something she never told me until I turned to see her by the doorway.

“Madoka… Why are you here?”

“I’ve come here to get you.  Aren’t you concerned about me?”

Natsu looked away for a moment before grabbing her to the side.

Frozen was the best thing as I watched them talk.
----
Twenty-five

The murmuring continued for twenty minutes before Natsu grabbed the girl’s hand out into the hallway.

“Please go back to your studies.  You parents are going to be worried.”

“But I still love you!  Why are you chasing me away?”

“Because… your parents… issued me a warning if I saw you again.”

“Hell with my parents!  They don’t know what they know.”  She shouted when Sashihara ran over to the room.

“What are you guys doing here?  And why are you here?  Isn’t the school couple miles from here?”

“I wanted to start up on the meeting notes.”  I said as Madoka ran toward the doors.

Natsu grabbed my hand and headed up to the roof with adrenaline running through her veins.

We panted as we reached our destination.

“I should have known she would come.  Madoka was the girl I ruined.”

[Yuki88]

Can I say.... oh shit?

Natsu still has feelings for Madoka, doesn't she?

[kuro808]

Can I say.... oh shit?

Natsu still has feelings for Madoka, doesn't she?

It is a continuing process for her to choose between the two

Twenty-six

“Ruined?”

“She was part of the music program for prodigies when I started to hang out with her but I fell in love with her beauty as she fell in love with my rebellious ways.”

“Her parents got in the way?”

“Surely, I didn’t blame them because I was just needy most of the time and she allowed it but that last time…”

“What happened?”

“We were in a full embrace when her father caught us and I was chased out of the house.  She wanted to try foreplay and I let her as long as there was no one around but her father came home early.”

“I see.  But don’t you like Madoka?”

“She is nice but I saw the consequences and wanted to wait it out but I met you.”

I felt like a cat backed into a corner.  I wasn’t sure to strike at her for being fickle or to acknowledge her prior mistake.

“I have something to offer you but I don’t know how well it will go with the rest of the class.  I want you to be vice-president.”

Natsu smiled and shook my hand before leaving the rooftop.  There was something fishy I found within that only made me ponder.
----
Twenty-seven

Class started with no problems until a fire drill disrupted the class and everyone ran out.

Within the panic, Natsu had snatched my hand and took me to the side.

“What are you doing?”

“There is something else I know.”

“Chori was being two-timed.”

Chori?  What does she know about Chori?  That hint on the rooftop made me think about the events that had happened with Chori toward the end of last year.

“By who?”

“Tani was with her boyfriend at the time she was seeing Chori.  Tani knew about her feelings but didn’t want to give him up either.  So she left with him to Nagoya before saying anything.”

“How would you know?”

“Tani was my classmate.”

“I hated her since she made Chori different.  It was the reason why I didn’t like relationships in general.”

“I feel the same way.  Tani didn’t mean it but she had become enemy #1 for many who knew the situation.”

Natsu knowing the situation brought back memories of that incident but somehow it made me question her motive in the potential relationship.
----
Twenty-eight

After there was the all-clear signal, Haruppi had caught me by surprise returning to the classroom.

“Where were you?  Everyone was looking for you.”

“Sorry, I had to do sweeps of the room as the monitor, remember?”

She smacked herself on the head for forgetting the procedure and Sashihara gave me a thumb up for my job.

“Geez, too many things to remember…”  She laughed taking her seat.

Once I felt accustomed to the day, a person had come in looking for me and I excused myself, heading to the office.

Ota took me into the meeting room and sat me down.

“I heard rumors you are going to make the new student vice-president.”

I nodded as she glanced over at me with a twitch of her eyes.

“That’s risky.  What about Kodama or Fuchigami?”

“Neither is qualified and after talking with Matsuoka-san, she has what is needed for our class.”

“I see… Tomorrow is the vote.”

I left the room with a sigh as I had to face them to convince them to make her my vice-president.
----
Twenty-Nine

After class, Natsu, Haruppi, and Mai-chan followed me to the student council room.

They were convinced after talking to her that potential was there but the fact that she was a transfer student, it had become a quandary.

We heard a knock and Mai opened to the raven-haired beauty with our uniform on.

“Natsu is well qualified for the position.  She was president before she was ousted out by my parents.”  Madoka glared at me.

“Who is she?”  Haruppi asked with a troubled look.

“This is Madoka.  Natsu’s friend.”  I said in a soft voice

“Well, to be honest, we were closer than that.”  Moripo pointed out.

“Your parents approved?”

“They didn’t but the agreement was to build a program here.”

“I see…”

Natsu didn’t look her way nor did anything to make her jealous.  My heart went to my stomach as I quickly adjourned the meeting leaving the three of us in the room.
----
Thirty

“Madoka… I don’t want to fight for Natsu.”

“Neither do I but she has known me longer than you.”  She explained.

“Madoka… Kyappu… Don’t do this.”

“Hmm, Natsu you need to make a choice.”  Madoka sighed.

“It has to be Kyappu.”  She answered.  “Madoka, your parents aren’t going to like it that they know I‘m here.”  Natsu explained.

She nodded in defeat before walking out of the room.

Once she had left, her whole weight collapsed onto me.

Tears came flowing out as I could only wonder that if there wasn’t such a consequence between them two when Madoka returned with a bag.

“I understand your decision although I don’t agree to it.”  She directed to Natsu before turning to me.

“Please take care of her.  She will only bring happiness.”

Natsu glanced into the bag and closed it quickly.

I walked her beyond the gates before going our separate ways.

[Yuki88]

No, Natsu, no. You'll end up hurting everyone including yourself ;(

[Shinoki]

I missed out on a few updates... hmm...
But...wow.... very...wow.... oro...oro....

[kuro808]

No, Natsu, no. You'll end up hurting everyone including yourself ;(

I missed out on a few updates... hmm...
But...wow.... very...wow.... oro...oro....

Well such chaos will only lead to more

Thirty-one

The whole night was based on the speech to the students about Natsu and her qualifications.

I grew nervous over the situation when I heard my name being called and saw her again.

We went outside to be away from my parents and managed to be get to the swings across from the house.

“I had asked Sashihara for your address because I wanted to speak in front of the class for her qualifications.”

My mind instantly went into defense as she said that with my ears only listening to her.

“That’s fine.  However, the friendship we have is not bothering you?”

“Well, the fact you said that bothers me because you should be her girlfriend by now.

“We haven’t really done anything and if we do it is in secrecy.”  I explained when she grabbed my hand.

“You have really nice hands.  Natsu is very particular about hands and reason why she had loved me before.”

“I see…  Anyways thanks for your support, I must finish up my speech.”

“Okay.  I hope you the best in swaying your peers.”

She left with an eerie feeling in the air.  It only seemed to bring trouble in my situation.
----
Thirty-two

The next morning Natsu and Madoka were on stage with me as the class took their seats in the auditorium.

The announcement usually made me nervous especially for commitments.  Today it seemed a little easier with Madoka supporting me.

“As your student council president, I have a duty to appoint a vice-president in cases where I’m not available.  However, the candidates I have found before are not available at this time so I’m putting Matsuoka Natsumi into the race.”

The crowd went silent as I announced her name and Madoka stood in front of them.

“I support my friend, Natsumi for this position as the school needs a leader to support the brittle foundation build for us.”

“I want to run against her.”  He raised his hand approaching the stage.

“Yamaguchi Keita  will be part of this race.”  He announced staring at her as Madoka stepped in front of Natsu.

“You have a lot of guts.”

“I know.  Then, I should know why you are here too.”
----
Thirty-three

Keita was the most hated person in the school.

He was the scum that seemed to not go away from our shoes.

His knowledge brought down many of the students here and anything would jeopardize Natsu’s chances.

Seemingly, Madoka had stared him down as he stepped up to the mic.

“The truth is she was thrown out because of a secret relationship.”

Madoka gritted her teeth before looking back at me.

“The person is you Moriyasu-san.”

I stepped up to the microphone with the room silent.

“Would you let that influence your vote?”  I said under my breath.

“Her relationship doesn’t mean anything unless you can tell me what she had done at her previous school that was wrong within the student government.”

The eyes turned toward him as they waited a response but he stormed off before anything else was exchanged.

My stomach churned after that speech and immediately walked to the infirmary.
----
Thirty-four

“Sorry for all the trouble.”  Natsu said after getting juice from the nurse.

“It isn’t a problem.”

Madoka stepped into the room and stared down at me.

“Keita sure has some balls to try going against us with just the relationship.”

Her words made sense but anything else would just be kindling to his fire.

“What else do I need to know?”

For an hour, I had gotten to know both of them.

There were different in personality but Madoka was a shy type but didn’t mind standing up for her rights.

Natsu was the true girly type who wanted to be “normal.”

Normal was different to all of us but she just didn’t wanted to be type cast and secretly held her feelings inside until she confessed.

I had the fire extinguished for now but the threats were coming soon if Keita had his way.

The election was two weeks away with a virtual split based on the initial polls run by the politics club.

Keita used his wit to punish Natsu while Natsu had used the true right to show that the school that had banished her was well off.

The attacks were brutal but I had realized that by staying neutral had hurt the cause.

Madoka was angered by my neutrality and my seemingly detachment away from Natsu.

My explanation was to not be involved unless I sacrificed my position.

Haruppi was the first of the leaders to garner club support.

That was majority of the student body within our grade but we had to gather more and Natsu had dropped by to ask for help.

“I understand why you are doing this but is there another way you can help?”

The neutrality of the rest of the officers were in place but knew they would go for Natsu rather than Keita if they were voters.

“Sorry I can’t really do anything.”

Natsu dropped her head before placing her hands on my shoulders and pushed me toward the bed.
