"Ichigo-chan?" Noami ducked under a branch as she swung her flashlight around. After knowing that only a four-person team was allowed, Ichigo's had face paled, and immediately she bolted from the room, with Vanilla crying after her, only to come back to Noami with worried tears. The day after the next, there will be another test, this time a multiple question test followed by a actual baking test. Noami felt her stomach flipped just from thinking about it. After quickly changing out of her PJs, Noami texted the Sweet Princes of what happened, and sneaked out of the girls dorm, and is currently wandering about. Vanilla small wings fluttered, holding a microphone in her hands. "ICHIGO!! COME OUT NOW!!" "Shhh!" Noami and Eclair hushed the pink spirit immediately. If the teachers knew that they sneaked out..... Let's not go there. Ichigo pulled her legs to her chest as she stared at the lake. Her brown eyes were dull, void of its usual life, as she sniffles loudly. Really, this was unfair. She wanted to be on the Grand Prix as well. She wanted to win with Team A. She wanted... She wanted to be just like Obaa-chan. She wanted...so many things. She pressed her face into her legs, closing her eyes. She hate this. She knew the result of the test. No doubt, Kashino, Andou, Satsuki, and Noami will pass. Those four are amazing. Amazing enough to.... More amazing then her. There was a rustling of leaves behind her, making her glance over her shoulder. A navy blue hair boy peeked out, and smiled in relief. "Ichigo-chan! Why did you run out?" Andou sat himself next to her, hands propped back. Refusing to look into his direction, Ichigo pressed her face into her laps again."...Nothing." Ichigo whispered, peeking up from her knee... ... middle of paper ... ...s is your dream...and...quitting?" Ichigo smiled brightly as she stood up. "There's still the next year, and the year after the next! I can wait!" Andou smiled as he stood up as well, before looking out where the half-moon appeared from behind the clouds. Noami, long standing up after fighting with Kashino, looks over at Ichigo. "...You know, you're leaving me behind with a bunch of ruffians." "Ruffians?!" Kashino's eyes turned to slits. "Who the hell are you calling ruffian?!" Behind Noami, Satsuki freezed upon being called a ruffian, whilst Andou laughed it off easily. "You obviously." Noami said blankly, before she yawned heavily. "Y'know.. I'm getting tired. Eclair. Let's go, neh? You too Ichigo-chan, Vanilla-chan." Giving the Sweet Prince one last glance, Noami pulled Ichigo arm and the two brunette, followed by two Sweet Spirits, disappeared from his view.
