One In A Million Stars

Chapter Nine - The Thing Called Love

Mizuki P.O.V.

I step out from the elevator to see Meiko walking towards me to greet me.

"Hi, Meiko san. What's going on? I can hear the noises even when I'm still inside the elevator."

I ask, tilting my head.

"You'll see it yourself."

Meiko shakes her head few times.

I lean forward to see the girls are fighting each other.

"What's the reason?"

I look at her confusedly when Ran comes out from the elevator with the others and rests his chin on top of my head.

"I guess they're vying to see who is the number one between them."

He sighs.

"My height must come in handy for you, isn't it?"

I can hear the others laughing.

"Our baby girl is so adorable when getting mad."

Ran pats my head.

"Uh oh, stop spoiling her. She might really think she's still a baby."

Sanzu chuckles and walks to their usual spot to sit.

I catch up to him and smack him on his shoulder.

"Show him who the boss is, Hotaru chan."

Rindou cheers when he sits along with us.

"But that's Mikey kun."

I whisper to him, making the rest laugh again.

"You should join us more often, Hotaru chan. It's merrier when you're around."

Koko's playfully wink at me which I return his wink.

"It's only fun when she's acting crazy like this. But when she's in her serious mode, that's a no no."

Sanzu comments, making me smack his shoulder again.

"Sanzu."

We all turn to look at the girl that comes to our table.

"Will you go and calm them down?"

She asks but Sanzu ignores her.

I elbow him, making him frown.

"What?"

"Give her a respond at least."

I whisper to Sanzu.

Now he's glaring at me and turns his attention to the girl.

"Why should I? And who do you think you are to ask me doing thing for you?"

I face palm myself when hearing that from Sanzu.

"I'm sorry if I offended you. But they are fighting partly because of you too."

The girl walks away, look disappointed.

"That's our Sanzu."

Ran chuckles.

"Yeah, that's right. I truly believe that only he can cause all that."

I try to get up and move to the other seat when Sanzu wraps his arm around my neck, holding me down.

"Aren't you a bit off tonight? Are you on drugs?"

He asks.

"I'm not you, to begin with. Why would I take nasty things like that?"
