this is my first story, so i would love some feedback! i really hope you do enjoy, i've been thinking about this au for forever! i also draw some art for it as well (you can see at my tumblr, waluigipinball) anyway, the a/n has gotten too long! here's the story!

A familiar voice called out to Ayumi Shinozaki.

"Class rep!" the voice said, increasing in volume as it came closer. It had belonged to a brunette of below average height who wore a well ironed green collared seifuku tied together neatly by a red ribbon. It was none other than Ayumi's good friend Mayu Suzumoto.

Mayu had always been friends with Ayumi, but ever since she left Kisaragi to transfer to Byakudan Senior High School, the two rarely had to time to chat like they used to. They had decided to meet after school on Friday to get crepes once Mayu had settled in at her new home.

"You look incredibly cute in your new uniform, Mayu!" Ayumi commented once she reached her. 'Well, she's cute nonetheless,' she thought.

On the other hand, Ayumi had thought of herself as... well, just average. She wasn't very tall. She tied her dark blue hair in pigtails and she had felt for sometime that she didn't have any spectacular or outstanding traits.

"And you as well, class rep. Cute as always!" Mayu replied, chuckling to herself, interjecting Ayumi's thoughts. Ayumi's face reddened a bit, but denied her compliment, immediately putting a slight frown to her friend's face.

"Come on, class rep, you know that's not true!" Mayu argued as they started to walk to the nearest crepe stand. "You have lots of good points to you! Like... like... You're really smart, you work hard, a-and you draw really well!"

Ayumi laughed to herself as her friend stuttered to form the words from her mouth. It was true, Ayumi did enjoy drawing. She even dreamed of becoming an illustrator when she grew up, so she appreciated the compliment.

"Thanks, Mayu." she said. "On another note, you do know I'm not your class rep anymore, right?"

Mayu covered her mouth with her hand, realizing what she had been calling Ayumi. "Oh, sorry!" She laughed, but looked a bit sad. "It's just instinct, I guess!"

They finally reached the crepe stand, both ordering some sweet crepes containing strawberries and whipped cream. The two ate in silence, until Mayu brought up the topic of school again.

"So how's Kisaragi now, class rep?" Mayu asked. "The school isn't in total chaos without me, right?" She laughed at her own joke.

Mayu had still been calling her her class rep, but this time Ayumi decided not to remind her. She was so adorable, she couldn't.

"Everything's fine. Nothing too bad." Ayumi said in between bites.

"How about Mochida-kun?" Mayu inquired jokingly. "Any process with him?" She nudged Ayumi's elbow.

Ayumi blushed at her friend's comment. She had always liked Satoshi Mochida, her classmate back at Kisaragi. Always kind, never one to raise his voice at another... Perfect brown hair that swept to the side of his face... A hard worker, who even had his own job! Satoshi had always been nice to her, ever since they had met. Always...(A/N: You get the point, he's perfect in Ayumi's eyes. :3c)

Though, Ayumi wasn't the only one who held feelings for him. In fact, a lot of other girls liked him as well. One of those girls was her classmate Naomi Nakashima. She was kind and loving, plus she was really pretty! Ayumi found no real reason to hate her other than the fact they both crushed on the same person.

"W-what do you mean, Mayu?" she stammered in response. "I don't know what you're talking about!" Ayumi closed her eyes as her face heated in embarrassment. Mayu laughed at how shy her friend was being about her crush. Ayumi thought it was best to change the subject.

"H-how is school for you, Mayu?" she suddenly asked, calming down a bit. "Any process with you and Morishige-kun?" Ayumi found a smirk find its way onto her face as she changed the tables in the conversation. However, her friend's response was completely different than she had expected.

Mayu's face reddened, but not with embarrassment like Ayumi. But of anger. Mayu picked up her school bag, starting to rummage through it in order to find something. "Y-you know what?!" Mayu exclaimed as she kept searching. "This really nice girl at Byakudan named Tohko-chan bought these VIP tickets for a concert because her favorite band Labyrinth was opening, and said she wanted to go with me! You see, the main act is pretty popular too!"

Ayumi was taken back by the unexpected answer. She nodded in confusion, still wondering why Mayu was angry and looking through her bag.

"The concert's this weekend, but Tohko-chan suddenly said she couldn't go last minute, and said I could keep the tickets and go with someone else! Naturally, I asked Shige-nii if he wanted to go, but guess what?!" Mayu turned to look at Ayumi.

Ayumi just stared in silence, waiting for Mayu to continue.

"He said he couldn't go!" Mayu yelled, finally pulling out what she was looking for from her bag. "Because he didn't like concerts!"

Ayumi finally noticed what was in her friend's hands. She was holding the tickets to the concert!

"He was sort of a jerk about it too," Mayu pouted. "He said things like, 'You know I'm not into those sort of things blah blah blah'." Ayumi laughed at the brunette's imitation of Morishige. It was cute.

Mayu finally sighed, exasperated. She calmed herself and sat back down next to Ayumi. "Sorry about that," she said smiling. "Anyway! I was wondering if class rep wanted to go with me instead! I know I'll have much more fun with you than I would with Mr. Party Pooper!"

Ayumi laughed again at her friend's joke, but had to ask: "Whose concert is it anyway?" Ayumi wasn't really caught up with today's pop hits, so she secretly hoped it was someone she knew of.

Mayu pouted once more. "You blockhead class rep! There's only been one major concert on tour recently!" Ayumi looked back in clear confusion, waiting for her answer.

"It's the new pop hit, Yoshiki Kishinuma, duh!" Ayumi still looked confused as to who she was talking about. Mayu jokingly rolled her eyes and searched through her bag again to pull out her phone. She looked up 'yoshiki kishinuma' with the search engine, and showed it to her friend.

Ayumi took hold of the phone, and waited as pictures of a beach blonde boy in different poses slowly loaded onto the screen. The boy was pretty tall, and looked around their age. His hair was obviously bleached, and he had dark grey eyes. From the looks of it, he seemed quite rebellious, care free even. 'Not my type...' she immediately thought. Although, he did look a bit familiar. She probably had seen him in a commercial or advertisement. He seemed pretty popular, according to what Mayu was saying.

"So, what do you say?!" Mayu asked excitedly, breaking into her thoughts once again. "He's really cute right? You're going right?"

She gulped thickly. Ayumi could say nothing, only letting out a small "en" and nod in response to her friend's request. Mayu was too cute to deny; she wondered how on earth Morishige could say no to such an adorable face like hers.

"Kyaa!" Mayu squealed, putting her arms around Ayumi. She was glad Ayumi had said yes. "It's a date! Meet me tomorrow night at seven at my house so we can get ready!" Mayu was incredibly happy. She hadn't hung out with anyone from her old school for what seemed like ten years.

When the two finally finished their crepes, they waved goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

"At least Mayu is happy," Ayumi sighed to herself as she began her walk home.
