At school Mizuki was relaxing and had no stress during classes, during breaks Kasumi would come at him and the boys from his class were jealous that such a beauty would sit with a nerd like him, but he didn't care about them and also the girls would write love letters to him because they thought he was cute, but he didn't dare cheat on Hanami or else he would be dead
There were also some boys and girls that just wanted to make friends with him because they saw that he was actually a good person, but there weren't many people who saw that, only a boy and two girls
"Hey, may we join also?" the group of three were good friends and wanted Mizuki to join in their group
"Sure" Mizuki didn't mind chatting with some classmates, actually he was hoping he would make new friends at school
"So what's your hobby?" one the girls asked. That girl was Fuyuko, she is the shy type of person when you first meet, but after knowing her better she is friendly and honest with you
"Well I work as a chef at my family's ramen shop"
"Ramen chef? Which ramen shop?" the three were amazed by Mizuki's passion and love
"At 'Akito de ramen' "
"That's awesome. Maybe one day you could cook for us?" the boy was asking something taht Mizuki could do today and bring it tomorrow. That boy is Akihiro, he is also like Fuyuko, but also the curious type that would like to know everything about you if he took a liking in you
"Sure why not. I could bring tomorrow four portions and eat together, but it wouldn't have the same taste as a fresh prepared one
"That would be lovely" said the other girl. She is Aiya, she is the confident type, but after you would start knowing her better she would be almost like Hanami, for some weird reason. Mizuki felt like Aiya was like a mini-version of Hanami, with a different hair style and Hanami wears glasses
"Do you have any siblings?" Akihiro started interrogating Mizuki
"Yes, I have a big sister"
"How old and what kind of occupations does she have?"
"She's 21 years old and works at the shop as the chef while I'm at school and she is also at college"
"If she works in your place, how does she manage her studies?"
"Well she is at a college that specializes in cooking in general. I don't know why, so the upper-heads at her college where delighted by her talent and let her run the shop because she has the talent of a top notch, rate A chef"
"Wow, but about your parents? Don't they work too if she takes care of rent?" Aiya bugged in and stole Akihiro's next question
"Well both of them passed away when I was 9 years old, so she took care of everything for 7 years, but now I also took some of the load off her back and resolved it in my way"
"Oh... I'm sorry about bringing that sort of question" Aiya felt bad that she asked something that could make Mizuki sad and hate her, also the other two decided to stop asking him about his private life
"Don't worry I'm used to that. I just hope I can be good friends with you" Mizuki wanted to cheer Aiya and said his true reason why he let them join in
"Seriously?!" all three of them were happy from Mizuki's words "Then that means we are now good frie..." before Fuyuko could finish her sentence someone barged in their conversation
"Who wants to be friends with this losers" some random girl began insulting Fuyuko, Aiya and Akihiro
"Losers" that girl was followed by three dudes which looked like her gang and were also her bodyguards
That girl was Akane. She was from a wealthy family, so that means she was a sophisticated girl, with no manners, rude with everyone and bossy. The three dudes behind her were some random dudes that were following her orders, so that meant they were big idiots
"Losers shouldn't eat such sophisticated foods at school" one of the dudes got close and threw Akihiro's bento "Losers should eat only loser food"
"Yeah right"
"Let him alone or..." Aiya and Fuyuko tried defending him but failed
" Or what? Are you going to SWAT me? Get him!" the other two grabbed Akihiro's hands and tyhe other one tried punching him, but was stopped by Mizuki
"Food shouldn't be treated like garbage" Mizuki had his glare towards the ground while holding the dudes hand with a strong grip that would break his hand, but when Mizuki turned his glare towards the three dudes all three of them were about to sh*t their pants when they saw Mizuki's face "Now go an eat that food, now!" his threat became reality and they started eating the food from the floor
"Thanks" Akihiro grabbed Mizuki's hand and shake it
"Don't worry"
While the three dudes were eating the food on the floor, Mizuki turned towards Akane
"Who are the losers now?" Mizuki was ready to take her threats
"I'm sorry" Akane's face turned rd and began crying while she was on her knees apologizing "Please forgive me, I just wanted to be friends with you guys, but those dudes kept following me"
"Don't worry, as long as you want to be friends with us you're welcomed, right guys?" Aiya tried to calm Akane down
"I would love to be friends with you" Fuyuko was happy to be friends with Akane
"Yeah why not" both boys had the same answer
"Seriously?" Akane was confussed if that she heard it right
"Yeah why not" all four shared the same answer
"T-Thank you" Akane hugged Aiya
After that ruckus and the last classes passed away, the group left school together and went towards the shop to eat ramen made by Mizuki. He was skeptical because he was in his school uniform and not in his work clothes, but he had to accept the fact to please his new friends
All of them realised on their way to the shop that they lived in the same neighbourhood
"So only you and your sister work there?" Akane was curious about the people working at the shop
"There is also my best friend working there" Mizuki hid the fact he had a girlfriend. The arrived, but Mizuki had to enter another door. They entered and someone had a big surprise
"Big Sis?!" Aiya was dumbstruck
"Aiya?!" Hanami was surprised by this appearance
