"It's Kaori! She's gone!" Willia yelled with tears in her eyes.

Yamaken stood straight up in shock - which made the chair rattle backwards - with his hands in his pockets, Melissa gasped, Dylanthy's hands covered her mouth in shock, Wood's frown deepened while Robin and Tom was frozen in their spots.

"What do you mean? Where did she go?" Wood inquired.

"She told me that she was thirsty, so I went to buy her a juice but when I came back she was gone," Willia explained as tears fell down her face uncontrollably, "Sh-she left this," she handed over the note Kaori had left behind to Wood.

"What do you mean she was gone? Weren't you there to keep her in your sight?! How could she be gone now, huh?!" Yamaken yelled angrily at Willia who flinched at his loud voice while Robin, Tom, Melissa, Dylanthy and Wood read the note.

"Calm down!" Wood yelled, "We have to keep calm to think everything through."

"Think everything through?" Yamaken repeated in disbelief, "You think there is anything to think about? She's gonna accept the damn offer if that simple thing didn't get through to your dumb brain!" He yelled.

"Will you please shut up?!" This time Robin yelled at Yamaken who scoffed.

"You know what? Forget it," Yamaken said before walking out of the classroom.

Dylanthy tried to stop him, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Dylanthy, leave him," Tom told her quietly, "He'll do things on his way."

At that time, someother students came back from their club work. They all stopped as they saw the six of them all tensed up while one was crying.

Millicent was one of them, "What happened?" she asked, reaching out to them, "Why are you crying, Willia?" She asked Willia worriedly.

And so, they told everything to the other students.

Everyone was thinking about what to do now after hearing everything that had happened.

Willia tried giving a call on Kaori's phone but it was turned off.

Right then, Yamaken showed up on the back door, "You guys," he called everyone in the classroom.

They all looked up at him with worry visible in their faces.

"Kaori was seen at the entrance of the MSC High," He informed them which made their face fall.

"So she really went there," Melissa whispered.

"Even after everything we said," Dylanthy cried.

Wood clicked his tongue, looking up at the students, "We have to do something. We can't just let her go. What should we do?"

"I have an idea," Yamaken said before anyone else could, "That's if you'd like to know.."

"Well then, what are you waiting for? Spill the beans!" Everyone said to him.

He walked back into the classroom to share his plan with his classmates.

*****

As Kaori took a step forward, someone came up to the entrance and opened the gate for her to come in.

As she went inside, he turned the gate off.

"The president is waiting for you, miss Kaori," The male student said to her, whom she guessed to be a member of the student council.

She followed him to the student council President's room.

With a knock on the door and a "Come in!" heard from inside the room, the two went in.

It was a big room, like the ones a principal has - decorated well. A big desk was on the other side of the room and two couches were on the middle of the room with a coffee table between them.

Dylan was sitting on his seat over the desk.

The boy informed, "Dylan, miss Kaori is here."

He smiled as he looked up from the papers to see Kaori, "Ah, you finally came, miss Kaori," he said to receive a nod from her.

"Leave us alone, Morris," Dylan waved the boy away.

As Morris left the room, Dylan told Kaori to sit down before him which she obliged.

"You must've come here about the offer," Dylan began.

Kaori gave a slight nod, "I wanted to give you my answer."

"Sure, you will. Do you want to have any refreshments?" He asked her in which she replied in the negative, "No."

"Then please proceed," he requested her.

Kaori took a deep breath to prepare herself to give him the answer, "Dylan, I-"

*****

!BAM!

Yamaken bammed the sliding door open which made the student council president who was inside the room, jump in surprise.

Mark looked at the huge group of students at the door with Yamaken leading them.

With a shocked expression on Mark's face, he asked them in a hoarse voice, "What do you think you are doing?"

Yamaken gave a smirk, "Yo, pres. It seems like you will have to go on a short visit to MSC High with us."

Mark gulped at Yamaken's voice, "Wh-what?"

*****

"I humbly reject your offer," Kaori said to Dylan who's face fell in disappointment.

"But why?" He asked her desperately.

"Because I can't leave where I am now," She stated softly.

"But you know what you are doing, right? MSC is the best school in the town! Are you sure?" Dylan asked her again, his face becoming sad.

"Dylan, it's not about MSC being best or anything like that," Kaori smiled bfore continuing, "It's because I already made a family in XX High. As much as they love me, I love them, too. I promised to protect them, Dylan. I can't leave halfway.

I have responsibilities, I have to abide by."

Dylan looked at Kaori with outmost respect, "Kaori.."

"But then again," Kaori continued, "You have faith in me. You wanted me to help your school and I promised that I'd think about it. And I did. I have found a way by which both XX High and MSC High will be benefited. Should I tell you?"

Dylan smiled, "I wasn't wrong to have chosen you. You truly are a leader."

Kaori gave a smile, "Thank you."

"Please, tell me about the way you've found," Said Dylan.

"Well, if we sign a friendship contract between tge two schools, I think I can be part of both schools. We can also help each other out when we are in need. Rather than being enemies, why don't we be friends? Don't you think this way it's better?" Kaori gave a bright smile.

Dylan stared at her in surprise before breakibg into a smile,"Yeah you're right. But, Kaori, you aren't in a position to offer this."

"I know," Kaori assured him, "I doubt Mark will decline if I ask him to do this."

Dylan gave a nod, "Then, we have solved this matter."

"Yeah," Kaori stood up, "I'll be leaving then."

Dylan also stood up, "I'll see you off."

"You can come by our school on another day and ask Mark about the contract. Try to contact me before coming, I'll help you out with the matter," Kaori said to him while Dylan nodded to her words.

The two came out of the room when someone was walking up to them.

It was a girl. She had brown long-wavy hair and she was really pretty.

"Dylan," She looked at Dylan who looked happy.

"Hasley," He called the girl, "Where were you?"

"A student was looking for me," She replied, "Why?" She asked him curiously.

Then she noticed Kaori, "Oh, Hello!" She said to Kaori who smiled back with a - "Hi!"

"Hasley, meet Kaori, whom I've told you about some days ago and Kaori, meet Hasley Jordan. She's my.. our vice president," Dylan introduced the two girls.

"And your girlfriend," Kaori smiled at Dylan, "Right?"

"Oh my, how did you-?" Hasley gasped.

"I just guessed. You two look like you're something like that, though," Kaori laughed, "You look good together."

Hasley smiled shyly and gave a pat on Kaori's shoulder, "Aw, thanks!"

"My pelasure," Kaori gave a slight bow.

"Wow, you are so nice! I think we should become friends!" Hasley said boldly before turning at Dylan, "But where are you two going though?"

Dylan replied swiftly, "Well, Kaori rejected our offer. She's going back, so I wanted to see her off. Why don't you join us if you are free?" He asked her sweetly.

"Sure! Let's go!" Hasley grabbed Kaori's arm and pulled ger, making her laugh.

The three walked towards the exit.

"Dylan!" Morris came running up to them from the front.

Dylan and the two girls stopped in their tracks.

"What happened, Morris?" Dylan inquired of him.

"You," Morris huffed, "Will not believe this! Come outside, hurry!"

The three followed Morris outside.

*****

As Kaori walked out of the school building, her mouth fell open slightly. All of them were surprised to see the view in front of them.

There was a huge crowd of students from XX High School with Yamaken, Wood, Willia, Melissa, Dylanthy, Tom, Robin, Millicent and Mark brown standing at the front.

The four of them walked up to the crowd which sorrounded them immediately.

Yamaken grabbed Kaori's hand as he glared at Dylan, "Our student council president has all the rights to refuse to transfer a student in the offer from another student council president. We're here to claim Kaori back as ours.

We won't give her over, may it be the president of the best school in the town wishing for her to transfer to their school or may it be the president of this whole state, " He said through gritted teeth.

"I won't give her over to you," He said again, pulling Kaori behind him, away from Dylan.

Dylan sighed, laughing, "Yamaken, I don't have the power to challenge you back. You win, she rejected my offer anyways."

At once, Yamaken's eyes softened and he jumped up in happiness as he turned to Kaori, "Really? You rejected him?"

Kaori was still surprised by Yamaken's sudden possessive behaviour but she still replied in a daze, "Y-yeah, I rejected the offer."

Yamaken whooped, "Yes! So you do care for us!"

At once kaori snapped back to reality and gave a whack on Yamaken's back, "What do you mean?You think I don't care?! How could you!"

"Kaori!" Willia hugged her friend, "I was so scared, Kaori!" She cried in Kaori's arms.

Kaori didn't know what to do but before she could do anything, all of her friends hugged her from everywhere. They were all crying.

"Kaori!What would we do without you! We were so scared that you left us!" They all cried.

"You guys, I'm here now. So stop crying, I won't leave you. I promised, remember?" She smiled happily as she hugged her friends, patting them to calm them down.

Yamaken, Morris, Wood, Tom, Robin, Mark, Hasley and Dylan stood at the side, watching the drama.

Hasley also teared up, "Aw, they all love her so much.."

Dylan smiled helplessly, "Kaori is an unique personality after all. There's no way that you wouldn't love her. She's amazing."

Hasley smiled, "Yeah, I could tell that even if we just met not a while ago."

"Ah, Mark," Dylan turned at Mark who looked at him with questions in his eyes.

"Kaori said that MSC High and XX High School is better of as being friends than being enemies. What do you say?" He gave a smile at Mark who smiled back.

"I couldn't agree more."
