Sakura gazed out the classroom window, completely bored. Of course, she was in math class.
"Hayashi-san, please answer this question." the teacher said.
Sakura had no idea what was going on. She wasn't paying attention the whole time.
She looked to her side. Inoo Kei, the smartest person in her class, mouthed "10x"
"Um...is it 10x?"
"Yes, very good."
Sakura slumped back in her seat. Kei just smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Next week, we'll be having a test. This is 20% of your grade, so make sure you study hard." the teacher announced.
Grumbles and sighs were heard around the room.

Sakura and Kei were close friends ever since primary school. They were always together, and liked eachother a little.
But neither of them realized it.

At last, the bell rang for dismissal.
"KEI-CHAN!! THANK YOU~" Sakura shouted randomly. She hugged him around the neck.
His face turned pink. "A-ah...its nothing..." She released him.
"Ne, Kei-chan, about next week's test...do you think you could help me study? My parents will get angry if I fail..."
"Sure...how about tomorrow at my house? At 9?" (Note: It was Friday. The next day was Saturday)
"Hai! Thats fine! Thank you~ Ja, I'll see you tommorow! Bye bye~" Sakura waved and took off.

SAKURA'S POV:
Ahh, that moment was tense! I'm so thankful that Kei-chan sits beside me~
He's so smart and cool...I always want to be by him! He makes me feel so...important!
I can't wait for tomorrow! Even if its studying, I can still be by him~

KEI'S POV:
I'm so glad I could save Sakura-chan like that~
I want to protect her more!! She means so much to me.
Oh yeah, she's coming to my house tomorrow...I HAVE TO CLEAN!! She'll think I'm so unorganized!!
Wait...why am I worrying about that...?

NORMAL POV:
Sakura woke up at 8AM. She didn't want to be late.
She got out of bed and stood in front of her dresser. Her style was quite girly, which was Kei's type. But she didn't know that.
She pulled out a white blouse and a flowing, pink skirt. Nothing too fancy, but not too casual.
After dressing, she went to her kitchen to eat breakfast. Her parents left for work, so she cooked for herself.
"Itadakimasu!!" She started eating.
By the time she finished eating, it was 8:30. It took a while to get to Kei's house, so she had to leave early.
Sakura grabbed her school bag from the table and left her house.

When she arrived at Kei's house, it was 8:50. She ran up to the door and rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later, the door opened. Inside the house stood a shocked Kei.
He hasn't seen her out of uniform for a while, so it was quite surprising.
"Ano...you look nice today..." he muttered quietly.
Her faced automatically turned red. "A-ah...thank you..."
He signaled for her to come in. She took off her shoes and entered.

"Um...shall we start?" Kei asked.
"Hai..."
They went up to Kei's room and sat on the floor. Sakura took out her books and pencil case.
Kei taught her everything that would be on the test. Sakura took notes and listened.
*studies for a few hours*
"...and thats why x=110" Kei explained.
"Ah! That makes so much sense! Thank you!!"
"Its fine! I'm happy you understood!"
Sakura stood up and stretched.
"Ano...Sakura-chan~ Do you want to...go somewhere now? Its only noon..." Kei's face flushed a little.
"Um...sure! I'd love to~"
"Ja, shall we go to the park?"
"Okay! Thats fine!"
They took their stuff and headed to the park.

As they strolled through the park, people stared and asked themselves if Sakura and Kei were a couple.
Both of them were blushing, and felt nervous.
Kei wondered what it would be like to have Sakura as his girlfriend.
He slowly took her hand and got closer to her.
"Eh...?" Sakura questioned quietly.
Kei just smiled at her.
Sakura felt so warm under Kei's touch, so she laced her fingers in between his.
Kei smiled even more.

After a while, they reached the center of the park, where the fountain is. No one was there except them.
They walked to a bench and sat down, hands still laced together.
From that moment, they both realized what they felt for eachother.
"Ano!" They both said at the same time.
"Ah...you can go first" Sakura said.
"Okay...um...Sakura-chan...I wanted to tell you how much you mean to me. Recently, all I want to do is be by your side and protect you. Seeing your smile makes me feel so cheerful and happy! I don't know if you feel the same way about me, but please think about it!"
Sakura was on the verge of tears.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry! Its okay! I'll stop liking you!"
"K-Kei-chan...please don't...because...I...love you too!"
Kei's heart skipped a beat and Sakura burst into tears. Tears of happiness.
Kei pulled her closer and held her tightly. Sakura buried her face into his chest and returned his embrace.
"Kei-chan! You have no idea...how much I love you..." tears continued to fall as she spoke.
"I love you too, Sakura-chan~ Don't cry, I'm here..."

Sakura looked up and stared into Kei's eyes. She couldn't wait any longer. She gently kissed his lips and he kissed her back with the same amount of love.

At school, Sakura and Kei were always together. Even more than before.
And they always had their existence in eachother's hearts~

"LET'S PLAY 7 MINUTES IN HEAVEN!!" Miki (Ichigo's best friend) shouted.

(Author's Note: If you don't know what 7 minutes in heaven is, its a game where a guy and a girl are randomly picked and go into a closet together. They stay there for 7 minutes and can do anything they want without anyone else knowing)

Ichigo, Ryosuke, and some other friends were at a party at Miki's house.
"Sure." Ryosuke said.
"Um...er...o-okay..." Ichigo muttered.
Ichigo was usually a loud person, but the thought of being in a closet with someone scared her.
She actually liked Ryosuke. A part of her hoped that they go in together, but another part of her doesn't.
"OKAY! LET'S PICK NUMBERS~" Miki shouted.
There was an even number of guys and girls, so everyone could go.
Everyone stuck their hand in the hat and drew a card.
Ichigo opened up her card. It read "1"
"NO!! That means I have to go first!!" She complained in her mind.
"Ja, who got 1?" Miki asked.
Ichigo and Ryosuke slowly raised their hands.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WHY!?" Ichigo went on in her mind.
Miki went up to them and dragged them to the closet. She pushed them in and shut the door.

The closet was a pretty good size. Not to big, not too small. The only source of light was a dim light above them.
Ryosuke looked like he was in a bad mood. Ichigo was scared. But she gathered enough courage to utter something.
"Ano..." she started.
"What!?" Ryosuke snapped.
Ichigo was very frightened. The atmosphere was so tense, and she has never seen Ryosuke this angry.
She was close to crying. When she thought she finally had a chance to confess, it was all taken away by Ryosuke's anger.
Ichigo suddenly burst into tears. She walked to the opposite side of the closet and kneeled down on the floor.
Ryosuke turned around and noticed. He felt guilty for snapping at her when she didn't do anything.
He walked over to her side and bent down beside her.
"I-Ichigo-chan...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be like that...please don't cry..." Ryosuke said with a gentler voice.
Ichigo looked to her side and saw the kindness of his face. But she didn't buy it. She continued to cry.
It was 3 minutes into the game.

At that point, Ryosuke had no idea what to do. He had feelings for Ichigo too.
So suddenly, he grabbed her shoulders and crashed his lips onto hers.
Ichigo's eyes widened, but eventually closed. They both stood up at the same time.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, and his arms wrapped around her waist.
Ryosuke swiftly ran his tongue against her lips, making her gasp in shock.
He then slipped his tounge into her mouth. She couldn't supress herself, so she lightly ran her tongue against his.
5 minutes into the game.

They finally pulled away from eachother. Ryosuke was smirking.
"You taste like strawberries. My favorite." he said.
Ichigo's face turned bright red. "A-ano..."
"You're my ONLY strawberry, Ichigo-chan. I love you~"
"A-ah...um...I...I love you too...Ryo-chan..."
Ryosuke pulled her in a tight embrace. Her strawberrry scent drove him crazy. He loved strawberries dearly.
All of a sudden, the door flew open. Everyone just stared inside with wide eyes.
Rysouke smiled at her. She returned it.
They walked out with entwined hands.
