The High School Freshman Girls
**SHIZUE**
There'd been a saying.
In one of her many comics.
About that thing called love that saturated any novel girls her age liked to read and were always recommended.
To fall in love is to constantly be within the rush of cherry blossoms. The first fall of blushing pink lining a school walkway pink for the special occasion. And sure enough, her school shoes had crushed many blossoms that day meeting Aoki Nakamura.
When she had seen him.
**NAOKI**
Squinting, she couldn't find her name in the middle slots.
She'd ranked third.
Naoki laughed boisterously.
Number 2: Shizue Kita.
