The fifth Match was to very shortly start with the crowd on the edge of their seats as the next contestant was Lexi Stritos. Lexi was a fan favourite, for her looks and attitude, so mostly everyone was ready. However a sort of fight was already brewing on the stands...between Jessamine and Anastasia. For some reason the two seemed not to get very well along.

The two were a mere inch from each other, with gritted teeth and glaring eyes arguing over something...which made Saku rather nervous. "if anyone should be sitting next to him...it should be me" said Jessamine pointing to herself with her thumb

"if anyone it should be me. You only just met him an hour ago. Why the sudden interest?" said Anastasia just as annoyed

"The reason..." Jessamine then turned pink "is none of your business" Mia looked a bit surprised

"I'd always thought that Anastasia was the respectable brought up type. I didn't picture her to be like this" Sophie didn't look bothered

"I had a feeling this was going to happen sooner or later. You're quite popular ah Saku?" said Sophie in a snarky comment. Saku could only give a nervous laugh as he rubbed his head

"I'd like to know why exactly they are arguing though"

"well that's obvious" said Sophie "for top seat that's all"

"No I knew that. That's not what I meant...ah nevermind"

Sophie and Mia couldn't help but laugh at Saku while Aureline stood up "Aureline what's up?" Aureline looked a bit nervous

"Saku...can I...sit next to you?" Saku looked surprised but then turned to Anastasia and Jessamine two still arguing. Saku then hurriedly nodded. Aureline took a place to the left of Saku "I just thought I'd help you out a little" as Aureline sat the two arguing girls reached a conclusion

"how about we simply ask him who he prefers to join?" asks Jessamine

"yes why not? Who better to ask than Saku himself" agreed Anastasia then as they both turned they saw Aureline taking the available seat.


Both Jessamine and Anastasia looked a bit defeated as Mia spoke "You were too slow both of you. If you spent more time agreeing than arguing you would've made it" said Sophie casually. The two looked a bit disheartened

"she's right" said Anastasia sitting next to Mia "but as long as it's Aureline I don't mind...I suppose" Anastasia partially sulked

"Well...as long as it's not you" said Jessamine in a sarcastic mood making Anastasia turn to her

"I couldn't agree more" said Anastasia to which the two pouted and looked away. Saku breathed a sigh of relief and leaned a bit to Aureline

"Thanks for saving me Aureline" whispered Saku to which Aureline smiled and nodded.


Mia looked at everyone and observed everyone's behaviour. "Everyone feels...so much different from what they originally were. As she thought Mochi came running to the group who quickly sat on Saku's lap speaking happily to him and the girls. Anastasia is free from the fear that haunts her, Mochi looks so happy and Aureline...especially is different. Aureline has finally broken free from her prison and is taking it step by step" Mia then pressed a hand over her heart.

"Even I feel I can express myself so much better" she said to herself "And it's all thanks to Saku"


The Headmaster then called out to the audience "the fifth match is now ready to begin. From Blue academy of this region is Violet Varsaci" a girl with long dark hair and purple eyes walked in from the left. She appeared to wearing a boy's black jumper over a white shirt with a grey skirt . She looked well built with a large bust as she walked to the centre with a sense of toughness and strength. "And from the right we have one of the Stritos' Lexi Stritos" as Lexi wandered in Saku rubbed his face. Lexi was wearing a skirt and rather loose white t-shirt which showed off her curves.
