Nanami's POV:
'It was so hard to sleep last night... I can't get what happened yesterday out of my head!!!! Tomoe kissed me on the forehead! Does that mean he likes me?!?!'
During class I kept looking over at Tomoe, minding nothing around me but the two of us.
"Nanami, please read section 3." Mikage Sensei calls out.
I don't pay attention to him and continue looking at Tomoe.
"Nanami?" Sensei shouts.
Tomoe looks over to me and we meet eye contact. I blush as he leans in close to me.
"Your supposed to read section 3, pay attention!" He whisper shouts and leans back in his seat.
"O-oh!" I nervously laugh.
I read section 3 but my eyes still wonder from the textbook in front of me to Tomoe. He looks over to me and smiles. I look back down to the textbook embarrassed.
"Take notes everyone, this section will be part of our project."Sensei starts writing on the board with a piece of chalk.
I look up once I finish the section. I notice on the board he has written down partners for the project. I look all the way down to see my name. (A/N: What's about to be in dark black text its on the board)
Kei - Mizuki
Ami - Kurama
Nanami - Tomoe
'Yes I'm partners with Tomoe!!'
"This project can be done after class or at home. But you both must take care of this together." Sensei smiles.

Tomoe's POV:
'If Nanami keeps looking my way then I can't look at her...' I sigh and look over to her as she talks to her friends.
'Everytime she's around someone, especially a guy, I feel so annoyed and want to pull her over to me... My heart skips a beat when she smiles, I only think about her at night and can't sleep, my chest hurts when ever I'm around her!'
Nanami smiles brightly and laughs along with her friends.
'Is this what it's like to be in... Love?' I blush madly at the thought and shake my head 'No way am I in love... Love is for losers... Y-yeah!!' I put a hand over my mouth and look down so no one can see me blushing.
"Get with your partners everyone." Mikage Sensei claps to get everyone's attention.
Everyone in class starts moving their seats to get with their partners. I push my desk next to Nanami's. I get what we need for the project and place the things down on both desks.
Nanami's POV:
After a while the school bell rings and some people start to leave. I look over to Tomoe.
"Are we going to stay here?" I blush lightly.
"Yeah." He pauses from drawing on the poster board to look up at me.
I nod and look back down to the papers in front of me. After a while more people leave so it ends up being only Kei, Mizuki, Ami, Kurama, Tomoe and Me.
"Opps, I got to leave. I have a date with my boyfriend." Kei holds her phone in her hand, gets up and throws her book bag over her shoulder.
"But we're not done yet!" Mizuki shouts after her as she walks out the classroom door.
He grabs all of their things and rushes out after her "Bye Nana-chan!" He smiles towards me before disappearing out of sight.
I smile and look back down to my papers. I grab a pen and start writing next to Tomoe's pictures.
"I'm going to get some snacks." Kurama gets up from his chair "want to go with me Momo-zono?"
"No way is she going to be alone with you." Tomoe snaps.
'Tomoe...'
"I can go with you if you want." Ami stands up.
"Alright. Let's go." Kurama walks out the classroom with Ami right behind him.
Leaving me and Tomoe alone. The door slides close and I look down blushing madly. 'Tomoe and I are alone!! Anything can happen... Why didn't I go with Kurama and Ami?!'
I nervously sneak a peek at Tomoe to see him not giving a care in the world. He finishes his drawing and sets his pen down.
"Nanami." Tomoe looks over to me.
"Y-yeah?" I say nervously, realizing I've been caught staring.
"Do you like me?" He looks at me seriously, his cheeks a light pink.
"W-what...?! I-I-I..." My head goes blank.
'Why would he mention it out of the blue like that?!?!?!'
"I can't say..." I look away, blushing the color of a fire truck.
"Really? I see..." He huffs.
"I mean you can't just ask a girl that kind of question. I just can't answer it." I sigh.
"Can't you? Will a simple kiss lead me to the answer?" He puts a hand over mine and leans in slowly.
"Tomoe what are you doing?" I look back to him.
He doesn't respond and kisses me softly on the lips, our lips brushing against each other.
'Why is he doing this? I mean I like it but... It's so sudden...!'
"Why are you doing this?" I start kissing back softly.
He doesn't answer and continues to brush our lips together. He pulls at my bottom lip doing so.
I close my eyes slowly and really take it all in. I grab his tie and pull him closer to me.
"Nanami..." He whispers in between kisses.
"Tomoe..." I whisper, grabbing his hands and intertwining our fingers together.
"Will I get my answer?" He runs his tongue slowly over my bottom lip.
I squeeze his hand a little "M-maybe... You'll have to kiss me more to find out..."
We both continue to lightly make out until we hear footsteps walking upstairs.
"Momo-zono. Mikage. We came back with snacks." I hear Kurama's voice coming closer and closer.
With disappointment I slowly pull away from the kiss Tomoe and I were sharing. I pull my hands back to myself and place them over my lips.
'That was my real first kiss...!' I blush.
Tomoe quickly takes up a pen and starts drawing again right when Ami and Kurama walk in. I quickly shove papers in my face to hide my blushing.
"I got your favorite." Ami walks over to me and holds out a small bag of pastries.
"Thanks..." I try hiding my embarrassment.
"Did you two have fun while me and Ami were gone?" Kurama looks over to Tomoe and smirks.
"That's so dirty Kurama!" Ami frowns.
"We didn't do anything." Tomoe flatly says "right Nanami?"
"Y-y-yeah...! Nothing at all!!" I look over to Kurama.
"Hmm." Kurama gives me a look of disbelief.
I look away from him and sigh loudly. We all eat our snacks and continue on our projects. A few minutes later my phone starts ringing. I pick it up and put the phone to rest against my ear.
"Nanami, come home." My father says on the other side.
"B-but why?" I look over to Tomoe to see him having a fun time and smiling.
"Nanami Momo-zono. How dare you speak like that to me young women. Come here right now before I go over there and beat you." He hisses.
"Yes father..." I try holding back tears and hang up the call.
'I don't want to go back... I just can't!! Not after what he did last time...'
I slide my phone into my pocket and start to put my things away.
"Your leaving?" Tomoe looks over to me.
"My father told me to come back home..." I trail off.
"Okay..." He packs the projects things "I'll walk you home." He smiles.
"Oh no, it's okay. See you all tomorrow." I quickly wave bye and head downstairs.
Tomoe's POV:
'Nanami... Why? Why do you put up with that man?' I sigh as I watch her leave.
"What was that about? A sudden call and she's running out." Kurama looks over to me.
"It was her father..." I glare off into space "he's an awful person."
"How so?" Ami looks up to me.
Author's POV:
Nanami rushes home as Tomoe, Kei, and Ami talk about her leaving. Nanami quickly slides open the door than slides it back close.
"I'm home!" Nanami takes her shoes off and slides the door closed behind her.
"There you are brat." Nanami's father walks over to her and grabs her arm roughly.
As that's happening Tomoe looks down and sighs "Well you see..." He pauses "Whenever I walk Nanami home I see him, his drunk appearance, he always glares at me like he's going to kill me.... And I think he might be abusing Nanami..."
"Father let me go!" Nanami shouts in pain.
Nanami's father throws her to the ground and kicks her in the stomach "You were out with that boy again, huh?" He continues to kick her in the legs "I'll punish you for that!"
"Father please!" Nanami cries out "Don't kick me..." She chokes.
"I'll be doing more than that, just so you remember the whore you are." Nanami's Father picks her up by the leg and drags her into her room.
The door slides closed and Nanami screams.
