Izumi walked beside Shousuke, carrying a notepad, a big smile on her face. Shousuke stared at her, then pointed to the classroom, wondering if a hands on experience would help her learn Japanese faster. "English"Shousuke says. "En...glish..."Izumi muttered. "English!"Izumi beamed. "Shousuke!" He looked up, AI hugging his arm. Izumi stared at them both, them wrote something down in her notepad, showing them. "You're cute together." Shousuke flinched, AI's eyes sparkling. Shousuke shook his head, before shaking AI off, grabbing Izumi's wrist and hurrying away. Izumi stared at him, Shousuke giving her a scolding glare. She perked up, then wrote down in her notebook looking away guilty as she showed him. "Sorry." Shousuke stared, then lowered her notepad, leaning closer to her.

"Gomen"Shousuke says. She blinked, the boy pointing to her. "Gomen!"Izumi smiled. "English, Gomen"Izumi beamed. He nodded and turned away, only for Hitomi to crash into him. "Shousuke, sorry!"Hitomi laughed. Izumi's eyes widened, sparkling in amazement giving Shousuke his answer that she was able to understand what Hitomi said. "This is Izumi right! Nice to meetcha I'm Hitomi Tadano"Hitomi smiled. Izumi sighed, looking dejected. "Did I say something wrong, sorry?"Hitomi sighed. Shousuke crouched down next to Izumi, gripping her hand. "She said 'This is Izumi right, nice to meetcha I'm Hitomi Tadano' so don't feel so down"Shousuke muttered. Izumi nodded, standing up, a determined look back on her face. She wrote her reply down, and showed it to Hitomi, a smile on her face.

Shousuke stood up, stuffing his hands in his pockets, relaying Hitomi's words to Izumi so she could reply back, making him feel a little more comfortable around her. "Bye!"Hitomi waved. Izumi waved, a wide smile on her face and looked at the cover of her notepad, Hitomi's name written there as her new friend. She giggled, Shousuke tapping her shoulder. He took her book and a marker from his pocket, causing her eyes to widen as he wrote his name down on the cover and handed it back to her. "Shousuke"Izumi stared. "I'll be your communicator....don't worry about not making anymore friends, cause I'm right here"Shousuke says. She stared at him and smiled. "Thank you, Shousuke"Izumi smiled brushing some hair behind her ear as she looked down.

Shousuke walked beside her through the snow, both wearing their winter clothing. Izumi looked at a cafe and grabbed his sleeve, pointing to it, her eyes sparkling. He nodded and followed her inside, both taking their scarfs off. She looked around, and beamed, finding it was a cat cafe. She took her jacket off, Shousuke holding it for her, along with her scarf, watching as she pet the approaching cats. He crouched beside her, staring at the cats then reached out and started to pet a gray one. His hand brushed against hers, making him perk up as Izumi looked at him. She smiled at him and giggled, making him stand up and back away quickly. A white cat approached him, rubbing against his leg, Izumi giggling at Shousukes expression. Izumi took her coat and put it back on, getting another smile from her when he wrapped her scarf around her neck.

Izumi wrote down on her notepad and held it up to the woman that opened the door for them. "Thank you." The duo walked out, Shousuke glancing down at Izumi, noticing she was trying to catch the incoming snowflakes. "Hot chocolate?"Shousuke asked. Izumi stared at him, then tilted her head to the side making him realize he spoke in Japanese. "Hot chocolate?"Shousuke repeated. "Yes please!"Izumi beamed. The next moment afterwards she found herself in Shousukes house, a mug of Hot chocolate in front of her. She picked the mug up and blew into it, cooling the drink down. She took a sip, Shousuke drinking his hot chocolate on the other side of the table, the two enjoying the silence. She wrote something down in her notepad, and held it up to him. "I better be getting home."

He stared at her then nodded, beckoning for her to finish her drink. Shousuke got up, getting her shoes, coat and scarf. Izumi placed the mug in the sink, before getting her stuff back on. She bowed her head in thanks, but Shousuke came outside with his coat and stuff on as well. "It's night..."Shousuke says as he walked beside her. She giggled, beaming at him, not noticing the feint blush that appeared on his cheeks. She pointed to her house, Shousuke mentally noting that she was down the street from him. Izumi waved to him, earning a quick wave back from the male and vanished into her home, a small smile on her face. She shut the door, a flustered look appearing on her face. She started giggling as she took her stuff off, her mother giving her a knowing look. "I think someone has a crush!" "WHAT?!?"
