The things that you have to go through for you to wake up in life can be pretty drastic for most. Especially for a kid who had only known one thing he wanted his entire life. Marriage with a beautiful girl and a happy family. He thought that if he never gave up on his dream he would achieve it.

What he failed to realize sadly was that he was going at it completely the wrong way. For a long time in fact. But one day he finally got the wake up call he so desperately needed.

Underneath the morning sun, the high school students were walking beside the roads of trees, filled with peaceful minds and feelings. Two students stood out however, as they caused a ruckus.

"Wait a second, Aika!"

"Don't get too close to me! Leave me alone!"

It was a pair of two, consisting of a reddish-brown haired female student, running away from a brown-haired boy, his hair seeming like it was dyed not too long ago

It was a pair of two, consisting of a reddish-brown haired female student, running away from a brown-haired boy, his hair seeming like it was dyed not too long ago. From an outsider's perspective, they might seem like a couple currently in a lover's quarrel, but these two aren't actually in this kind of relationship.

With the sunlight shining down on the girl's hair, it made it look more red than anything. Right now, she was rushing through the groups of students with a stern expression, but outside this situation, everybody at school saw her as a beauty. Despite looking feeble and slender, she possessed enough strength to shake off the boy's arm that tried to grab her.

At the same time, the boy did not let up. His name is Sajou Wataru. He had a faintly more stylish look than the people around him, and was the type to easily fall for a cute girl. In fact, he had been in love with the girl Natsukawa Aika ever since they had been attending middle school. That's why he had confessed quickly, hoping for a chance of dating her, but...he was rejected without a shed of hope. Yet, he did not let up. Every single day, he would run towards her, approaching her over and over.

Important to note here is that Natsukawa Aika is a flawless beauty. That's why she had decided to attend a high school fitting her intelligence, and in order to keep up with her, Wataru studied as if his life had depended on it, managing it into the same school as she did. The power of life is a terrifying thing.

"Hehe...they're going at it again."

"They should just get married already."

To the other female students around, it was a heartwarming scenery. If Aika had been popular because of her looks and personality, she would have been a target of their jealousy and envy, but since the two had been acting like this since day one, they looked like a couple to everyone around them. As a matter of fact, the other boys had already accepted the fact that Wataru was that Natsukawa Aika's boyfriend, and did not attempt anything.

Today as always, Wataru was relentlessly chasing Aika.

"Hey, when will you finally become my girlfriend!?"
