Arc 1: Chapter 2

"She doesn't deserve to be your friend!" She ate quickly as she cursed Hamano behind her back.

"Oh don't be like that. She must have a reason to why she is like this! I'm sure she'll turn around and be our friend. I mean, she seems pretty lonely don't you think?" I looked at the chocolate chipped mint haired girl as she ate alone at her own table.

"Sigh... you are too kind, Aika-sama..."

'Girl... you should have seen me in my past life. Once- a store was selling a limited edition anime plushie of my favorite character, a person grabbed my plushie that I kept my eye on even within the hundred of plushies, he got the one I kept my eye on. I fricking smacked that boy with my purse and grabbed that limited edition forcefully. Never mess with me and my limited edition anime merchandise!'

"Ha ha ha... I'm not that kind. Anyway, why don't we hear the side of her story before we say we hate her okay? It's almost class. Let's go." We then both stood up and returned the trays and went to class.

*****
While in class, we were given an oppurtunity to enter a modeling audition in which the heroine, Emiko-chan meets her new friend from Beauty class. Everyone congratulates them since they both are the lucky ones that got chosen by fate and was lucky enough to audition for modeling. After that, we all continued class.

After class, which is already lunch time, I went over to Hamano-san who saw me went over to her and quickly turned her face away. "What do you want?"

"You seem kinda lonely... Isn't it sad?" I ask her as i sat beside her. 'I Aika has come over to you just to make you my friend! Feel honored!' She didn't look at my face as she spoke. She just ate her meal slowly, while savoring the taste.

"It's better than being betrayed after getting my hopes up for finally having a friend." She spoke quickly. Like not wanting to hear the words she just spoke.

"Were you betrayed before?" I slowly asked, hesitant to make her mad than she already is.

"Yes. So what of it?" She then finally looked at me with a sharp glare. She stared back at me with her coffee brown eyes, it was filled with sadness and anger.

"I won't betray you. Everyone isn't the same as your ex-friend you know?" I tilt my heads towards her in a teasing manner. "You shouldn't always get stuck in the past. You should learn from your mistakes and be better than your past self."

"Don't give me that lecture. I'm fine with being alone." She humphed and crossed her arms around her chest.

"Look, I think you have great potential as an idol! That's why I want to form a group with you. I'm Aikyo Aika, and I'm in drama class. I have a friend who is in dance class and I heard that you are in song class right? After that, all we need to dind is someone from beauty class then our group will be complete!" I smiled as I spoke of my plan.

"So I'm just a tool for you?" She looked offended as she raised her voice in anger. She grabbed her orange juice and drunked it down within a 5 seconds.

"No! We can become friends if you can just accept! I won't betray you, and if I did, I would leave the idol world." I promised. I raised my right hand as a sign of my promise.

She looked at me in shock. "What are you doing? I know you are just trying to prove your inocence but leaving the idol world? That's too harsh!" She wuickly pushed my hand down at my statement.

"You see, I never judged wrong. And I know that you-" I poked her the place where her heart is, "-are kind. Trust me. I will never betray you!" I grabbed both of her hands with my hands and looked at her in the eyes.
