[Greetings everyone, right now get ready to dive into a cool story. I hope everyone enjoys it, have a good read, etc. The main thing to remember is that this is how the author's text stands out. All right, let's get started].

- Darling...

- Darling!

Ooh, isn't that wonderful? Many people nowadays may find this disgusting, but I am so moved by this phrase. There is hardly a person who hasn't wanted to hear that phrase at least once in their life. For me it shows an incredible tenderness that I want to keep forever. In any case, that's how the awkward but sweet phrase was spoken by a couple in love to each other. Together they have been through fire and water, through joy and sorrow and more. And right now, looking into the beautiful eyes of his beloved, Kenta remembered it all again. There was only one "but," Kenta had managed to meet so many beautiful girls. But who exactly will be his chosen one? So, why don't we find out what happened?

\* \* \* \* \*

- School. Everyone puts their own meaning into that word. For some it is the first stepping stone to adulthood, for others the worst nightmare. There are those for whom school reminds them of their first serious relationships, true friends, or good grades. But for me personally, school is where I try to excel at it all.

This reasoning belongs to a young Liver High School student, Kenta Ieda. Kenta is someone who was overlooked in class by neither students nor teachers. His performance in class wasn't super, but he clearly wasn't the worst. In addition, since this year he had set himself a specific goal - to go to the Tokyo Institute to improve his life and change for the better. Kenta hasn't got a lot of friends, and, of course, he hasn't got a girlfriend. However, this obviously didn't scare him, he found something beautiful in his loneliness, some kind of peace. It seemed to him that when he was alone with himself, he felt better about himself, and when there was noise in the classroom because of the cheerful humming of his classmates, Kenta felt even calmer, contradicting all that fun with his solitude. Simply put, he decided to devote himself better to his studies, but in spite of all that, if someone asked him for help, he was sure to give it. He wasn't one of those guys whose gaze was like that of a dead fish; he could be full of fun, angry, and sad, but for the most part he was an enigmatic nature to the rest of us.

Unlike Kenta himself, Leaver School was not an ordinary school, but a private, elite school for the children of all sorts of nobility. Of course, Kenta was able to enter here precisely because of the fortune of his father, who owned a group of hotels. The courtyard in front of the school was just a typical Japanese high school courtyard, with only a few trees planted along the gate and two pairs of benches. The students had already gathered in interest groups and clogged the entire space in the courtyard. Kenta walked on, and now, in the distance, a group of people appeared, consisting of the most popular guys and girls in the entire school.

*Yeah... People like me can't go there,* - Kenta thought.

As you can see by now, Kenta didn't want to feel like part of something cool, he wanted to feel cool by what he thought was cool, and didn't care about what other people thought.

He entered the classroom, took his usual seat, and pulled out his textbooks.

*At last the lesson will begin and this rumbling will stop.*

Some time has passed, it will seem languid and boring to many, but for our hero this time is very important, after all, you cannot get into the Tokyo Institute without proper skills, and here, even his father's wealth will not play any role.

- Now, who is ready to come to the blackboard and tell me what was said in the topic I asked you about? - Biology teacher Ryoko Yoshikawa said.

*I think I has understood enough to be able to answer,* - Kenta's mind lit up. He raised his hand, but suddenly, there was a voice from the next row:

- May I?

- Yes, of course, Akemi.

Yokota Akemi is one of the most popular girls in the whole school. She gets first place in every exam, is good at communicating with other students, and is the best-looking girl in the school. And no wonder, she has incredible looks. Her deep brown eyes with long brown hair and delicate facial features struck the imagination of any guy at school, Akemi herself is small in stature, but her body has everything she needs to be considered an already formed woman. She always came to school in her usual uniform: a school shirt and a skirt that emphasized her waist. Sociable, neat, pretty, kind, and smart, she was every guy's dream.

* Who will get this happiness? * - Thought Kenta. He did not include himself in this list, because he considered himself unworthy of someone, the level of Akemi. However, it is worth noting that Kenta himself is a very attractive guy. Among his qualities: thick black hair, which he did not style, so they always lay chaotically, bright blue eyes, a pleasant face and a well-developed body. Moreover, due to the wealth of his father, he had a lot of beautiful clothes and had a very good sense of style. It also has one feature - a pleasant smell. You might think that the thing is insignificant, but still it always smelled good, which is also a good plus.

And then finally it was time for lunch. It was time for Kenta to go to seclude himself on the roof of the school, and finally have a proper snack. As he gathered all his things, and was ready to go to his usual place, he witnessed an unexpected conversation:

- WHAT??? - A shriek suddenly came from someone in the group, where only popular students were in, and which included Akemi. - Why him? Do you really like that kind of... specific guys?

A silence filled the room. Everyone in the class looked around sharply, and with a startled but slightly worried expression on their faces. Akemi looked around with a flushed face and quickly muttered to her friend:

- Ta, hush you! It's not like that. It's just... Ugh, we'll talk about it later.

*I imagine all the guys who dreamed of Akemi will be crying today.* - Kenta thought about it a little snidely, but still with a bit of curiosity, and then got up and went to the roof.

Silence reigned on the roof as usual. Kenta sat right at the entrance to the roof and chewed today's dinner, looking at the clouds. Unbeknownst to him, a thought came to him:

* I wonder what would have happened if I was like everyone else now. In the sense of sociable, always energetic. Would it be good for me? Would I despise people like me now? And would I have a girlfriend? What if Akemi became her? * - here Kenta decided to disperse such thoughts so as not to inadvertently think of something. He raised his head up and, unexpectedly even for himself, he saw the beauty Akemi standing next to him. He believed that he was ready for anything. Most likely, he would not have flinched, even if the president himself were standing in front of him, but he was clearly not ready for this. - * What to do now? Say hello? It sounds awkward. What is she doing here? Exactly, maybe she came to see the same guy that was discussed in the office. Then I had better get out as soon as possible. * - Before he had time to think it over, Akemi turned around and staring at him, she smoothed her hair behind her ear with a slight movement of her hand and said:

Hey. You're Kenta Ieda ... M-mm ... Anyway, can we talk?
