One day she’s approached by a Jack Johnson-loving underclassman who wants her to test out some sweets. Mami doesn’t like sweets, but she ends up falling for him. Unfortunately, he’s already got someone he likes… 3. Tomomi is called in on the day before Christmas Eve to fill in for a volunteer that couldn’t come to school to help bake cakes. The only other volunteer there turns out to be the student council president, who is totally quiet and nerdy. The two end up having fun together, though…
