Chapter 1: Super Risky Test Plan!
The all girl band, HTT, are drinking and eating tea and cakes in the new clubroom of Tokyo U. They have all matured and are ready for the next step of life. No no no, not finding a job.
It's finding love.
Don't think their too young for that. They are ready as they will ever be.
The seniors are already second years, but poor Azusa is still a year younger, a first year.
But she'll find someone and she'll evolve to that particular stage the next year.
It's like what they always say.
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
It could be fate, or destiny with the boy they meet.
Oh, about that 'boy' part...
'Hi, I'm Tainaka Ritsu, and I am deeply in love with my best friend, Akiyama Mio.'
Ritsu here, like what she just thought, is deeply in love with her best friend. Their both girls, so it can't be a boy. Impossible.
'I just found her incredibly attractive. I know dating people in the same gender is...not common, but I don't care. Gender, age, or anything doesn't matter. As long as there's love.'
'Right?'
But leave that for other people to decide. There is no right answer. It's based off of people's opinions.
'But I think it's impossible for her to love me back, considering we're both girls. She'll probably find a boy, date and marry him, have children and live happily ever after. I feel angry and hurt every time I think about that, but if she's happy, I should be feeling happy too.'
'Right?'
It could be true, though. Ritsu already jumped to a conclusion that Mio may be straight, and that Ritsu was bisexual.
'Even if we don't become lovers together, I might as well find myself a bride or groom and live together. But we won't live happily ever after, because Mio is my only love."
It's what every single and heartbroken says. That the person they were in love with is their only love. They'd still live life to their fullest.
'I still don't know which path to take. I'm not very worried about it...yet. But never mind, because I've been thinking about this for too long and that my club members are already- shit...'
"Ricchan?" Yui waved her hand in front of me, repeating her name over and over again. Ritsu finally snapped away from her thoughts and looked at Yui, then everyone else. They all looked at her with worried faces.
"Are you okay, senpai?" Azusa asked. Ritsu blinked twice.
"Oh, I'm fine." She said, waving both of her hands. They still looked at me worriedly.
"Ricchan, you've been spacing out recently. What happened?" Mugi asked. Ritsu flinched.
"No no, I'm just...uh...tired, that's all." She said, laughing it off. Finally, they all went back to drinking their tea and eating their cakes. Ritsu wiped the sweat off her face.
'Hi, I'm Tainaka- oh you know already? Screw you then. Psychics these days, I tell you.'
And so, Ritsu began spacing out again.
'I'm in love with my best- you know that too? UGH!'
Ritsu twitched her eyebrows.
'Whatever. Anyway, since I'm in love with Mio, it couldn't hurt to test her sometimes.'
'Right?'
Ritsu unconsciously made a sad look. Mio was first to notice this.
'I mean like, I want to see if she loves me back. It'll be risky, but ya know what they say. You don't go anywhere in life without risks.'
'Right?'
"Ritsu?"
'Right?'
"Ritsu?"
'Right...?'
"RITSU!"
Ritsu finally snapped away from her thoughts. She looked at Mio, who was giving her a worried look.
"Are you okay? You're spacing out again." She said. Ritsu flinched.
"What, really? No, I'm just, ya know, thinking about life." Azusa gave her a disbelief look.
"You never do that, Ritsu-senpai..." The kouhai said, confused. Ritsu looked at her, sweat dripping from her face.
"O-Oh, well, I guess it's time I think about it now..." Azusa just sighed.
"O-Ohoho, well you look at the time, let's get a move on, guys. It's getting pretty late." Ritsu said. Everyone looked at the clock on the wall.
Wait, since when did the clock appear there?
Ah, never mind.
It isn't important right now, anyway.
"Yeah, you're right. Come on, let's go."
So everyone packed their stuff and headed home.
"Mou, why can't I stop spacing out!" Ritsu shouted the last word, messing around on her bed.
"Onee-chan, shut up!" Satoshi shouted from next door.
"You shut up!" Ritsu shouted back.
"I didn't even-" Ritsu then heard a sound which seemed like hands slamming on a table. Ritsu laughed.
It was an action by Satoshi when he gets extremely mad or annoyed.
Then the door open, revealing, obviously, Tainaka Satoshi.
"Hm? Why are you here?" Ritsu asked, holding in her laughter.
"Onee-chan can't you ever keep your mouth SHUT?" Satoshi shouted. Ritsu made a kissy face.
"Aw, Satoshi, you're being too loud. The neighbors will complain, 'Oh, Satoshi is such a naughty boy! Oh!'" Ritsu could no longer contain her laughter and laughed as hard as she could. The beautiful color of red spread all over Satoshi's face in embarrassment. He then slammed the door and went into his own room.
Ritsu's laugh has finally died down and was in tears. "That Satoshi..." She muttered.
For only a few seconds, Ritsu felt bored again.
Homework? Why? There isn't any today.
Xbox? Nah, I finished them all.
Yui? Wait, when did she come into my mind?
Ritsu sighed as she could not think of anything.
Until then she remembered her risky test plan.
She dialed Mio immediately. She waited for an answer.
Beep, beep, beep...
"Come on..."
Beep, beep, beep...
"Come on..."
Beep, beep, beep...
"COME ON...!"
"Moshi moshi?"
'Finally!'
"Gee, Mio, what took you so long to answer?" Ritsu whined.
"Oh it's just you. Start talking or I'll hang up-"
"Woah woah, okay okay! So Mio, can I visit your house today?"
Ritsu heard a sigh.
"And why?"
"Because I need to talk to you about something."
"Why not on the phone?"
"Because I have to talk to you personally."
Mio pondered about this for a while.
"Fine. Hurry up." She then hung up.
"Yosh! Time to go to Mio's place!" Ritsu pumped her fist into the air.
She started getting ready.
Change of clothes, brush her teeth and hair and everything.
"Ikuzo!"
A/N: wow, that was kinda long.
Hoped you enjoyed it!
Till next chapter!
