Chapter 4 : Sweet Miya?

"We...made it....." I panted bending down to catch my breath.

"barely...." Ichigo panted.

"Because you woke me up late....." I said

"I said sorry!" Ichigo pleaded.

I sighed. Might as well get to work. The uniform was stiff just like any other new clothing. But it was comfortable to move around in. I tied my black hair into a side braid and washed my hands.

Ichigo and I walked into the kitchen classroom to see that I was placed in Group A.

"You're in my group!" Ichigo squealed with excitement. She took my hand and guided me to where Hanabusa-kun, Andou-kun and Kashino were at. "Now I'm not the only girl"

I giggled. "Oh." The three boys said in unison. "Saga-san are you alright? I heard about you fainting last night." Andou-kun asked. "Well of course she fainted hearing about them all of a sudden." Kashino added. "That must have been a surprise." Hanabusa-kun said.

I nodded agreeing. "It was hard to believe and they came out of no where so it surprised me." I explained. "Wait. You guys know about them too?"

They nodded and three spirits popped out from behind them including the one I vaguely remember coming out from Kashino's pocket.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Cafe. Satsuki's partner." He bowed.

"Um.. I'm Caramel. Nice to meet you, I'm Andou's partner" She shyly smiled.

"Chocolat, Kashino's partner." The one I recognized said coldly.

"I'm Melon, Ayano-chan's partner." Melon bowed.

"I'm Velvet, Ayano's partner." Velvet bowed.

"You have two partners?" Kashino questioned.

"Yeah. They insisted on being my partner and I couldn't decide." I said honestly.

"Hm!" Chocolat humped. "Someone seems to be getting cocky even though we haven't even seen your skills yet. I don't care if you are the daughter of Saga Usui, I will judge you on sweets" She said coldly.

"R-Right." I said nervously

"She got into the A group so she must be good." Ichigo said.

"Well let's just see." I smiled. "Let's get to work."

**

Our assignment today was to work on our creative skills so we were allowed to make anything we wanted. But we had to make sure it was edible.

I felt the stares and glares from my classmates and staring from my sensei every time she walked by, but I ignored them. I felt really energized to make sweets today and I wasn't going to get a little pressure get to me.

"What are you making?" Ichigo asks.

"It's a surprise!" I say while mixing.

After awhile everyone was finally done baking. There were combinations of chocolate with fruits, cakes, bon bon chocolates and other sweets. I almost finished when Ichigo popped out anxiously waiting for the cake.

"Done." I said.

I made a banana cake with white whipping cream on top, colored macarons on the side.

"Can I try it?" Ichigo asked mouth watering the dessert. I giggled and nodded because of her reaction.

"Wow. This is...

Sweet Banana harmony.. The whipping cream adds a special sweetness to the sweet banana which creates a peaceful combination. The crispy macarons add texture to the banana cake! The sweet all together, it's like i'm sitting on a swing listening to the quiet peaceful nature!" She squeals.

The boys try it as well.

"Wow. This is great.. Like Amano-san said the banana and whipping cream complement each other perfectly, even though you would expect it to be overpowered." Andou-kun said in awe.

"The macarons are well baked too. The colored macarons are stood out from the normal white whipping cream making the macarons more significant." Hanabusa-kun said.

"Not bad." Kashino said.

"...not...bad..." Chocolat mumbles.

"Thanks." I say.

"As expected, I knew we weren't wrong for choosing you Ayano-chan!" Melon says and Velvet agrees.

**

"Your cake was really great Ayano-chan!" Ichigo glistens. "I knew I was right to convince you to this school."

"Yeah, I'm starting to like it here." I say.

"But.. Ayano.." The tone of her voice drops.

"Eh? What's wrong?" I ask

**

"MAKATO-KUN!" A familar voice yells getting closer to us. Miya leaps onto Kashino and pins him down to snuggle with him. I look at him in pity as the rest look in awe.

"You...." Kashino escapes from her grip. He pants from the sudden closeness from his sempai. "Koshiro-sempai, every single time over and over, what the heck?"

"If I see you I cannot help myself but embrace you. This is love, love tell you." She announces

"I can only think of this as harassment...." He responds

"The theme "love is very fitting for Makoto-kun and I. It's fate isn't it!" She exclaims

"Yes, it's fate!" Her two butlers exclaim

"So with that, Makoto-kun. If we win the semifinals, I'll have you join Team Koshiro."

"Huh? Why does it turn out like that?"

"Because it's for your own sake, of course." She poses

"For your sake!" Her butlers pose

"I refuse."

"Huh? Are you afraid of losing?"

"To think that the one who called the chocolate Sweets Prince is running away, you're quite a coward, aren't you?"

"If he has no confidence, then we can't do much."

Of course they try to intimidate him with his specialty. Sounds a lot like dirty play from Miya. But she knows that chocolate is his specialty. Why would she challenge him like this?

"I have confidence in winning. I won't lose to anyone when it comes to chocolate."

"If you're going to win, then why not promise us?"

"If you do lose, I'll have you join my team."

Don't do it Kashino. It's a trap.

"Fine."

Good job Kashino..
