After their conversation with the others after finally becoming a semi official club, Rachel invited Saya back to her place to sleep for the night. Of course they already asked permission from Saya's parents who seem to be okay with anything.

The two girls were eating dinner with Rachel's mother and brothers, when Kumiko suddenly asked.

"So Saya how's the relationship between Alex and Rachel?"

"It's going great that guy doesn't seem like he could live without seeing Rachel's face." Saya smilingly said.

"What the hell are you saying SAYA! Mom it's not like that..." Rachel wanted to say something to defend herself but thinking back on Alex's usual antics, she couldn't really argue with what Saya said.

Noticing her daughter's hesitation Kumiko smirked. "Cat got your tongue Rachel? So what now are you still going to play hard to get?"

Rachel couldn't answer her mother's question and begrudgingly glared at her. Joseph the eldest brother stopped eating for awhile to say something.

"Hey Rachel are you really alright with this? Isn't brother in law going to be taken away if you keep on hesitating?"

"Oh right speaking of being taken away. Alex has another girl trying to snatch his heart." When Saya said these words the whole table erupted with comments.

"What that guy actually dares two time my sister!"

"Who the hell is this other girl? Where does she live I will want to have a private talk about how life works"

"Shit! See like I said brother in law is such a good kid of course there are others willing to take him."

"SAYA!" Rachel shouted at Saya who caused this chaotic scene. Saya didn't bother with Rachel's angry look and kept on eating.

"So Say tell us more about this girl that dares compete with our Rachel for Son in law?" Kumiko's smiling face was emitting a scary pressure on the group.

Saya started explaining who Evangeline was. The moment Kumiko and her sons heard more and more about Evangeline they felt more and more disheartened.

"Sorry sis you stand no chance."

"Yah, better find someone else."

"See this is why I told you to bind brother in... No to bind Alex to you."

"So this Evangeline is rich, looks beautiful, has a bountiful chest, is smarter, and the student council president. To top all of that off she actually is trying to woo Alex?" Kumiko seriously said.

"Yup that's pretty much correct." Saya nonchalantly answered.

Kumiko could only sigh. "Well he was a good kid, but I'm sure you'll find someone better."

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALL TALKING LIKE I LOST!" Rachel shouted to her whole family, and stormed off to her room.

...

In her room Rachel was contemplating what her family said. Were they right? Did she already lost to Evangeline right from the start?

'Now that I think about it what does Alex like about me? It couldn't be my looks, since Evangeline looks way better than me... Does he like my stye? That can't be it as well, Evangeline has a curvier body than mine. Then what was it? What attracted him to me? It's not like he can't get any other girl, aside from his rigid personality he's actually quite kind. He looks good, he's smart, he's strong, and he's very caring... What is this? Am I actually thinking that he's so much better than me.'

Rachel started feeling really melancholic at her current predicament. She kept on testing Alex as if she was the better one. Now she felt like he had no right to even stand by his side.

Rachel was starting to get confused. At the beginning he didn't really care about Alex, he was just another one of her fans... But now he was slowly creeping into her heart. It has just been five days since she met him, but the times she spent with him were so much fun, it felt like they have known each other for a very long time.

If she loses to Evangeline will she still be able to have as much fun as she was having now? Will she still be able to become friends with him?

As Rachel kept on thinking further into the future the more depressed she became.

"Hey Rachel you moping around like a loser?" Saya entered the room and started teasing Rachel. She thought that Rachel would attack her with the usual jab, but she didn't. Rachel simply look at her with a sad almost heartbreaking expression.

"Hey Saya am I really not good enough?" Rachel asked Saya with the look like she was about to cry.

Saya closed in and hugged her best friend. When Rachel felt Saya's warm embrace she started crying.

"Of course your good enough! It's that Alex who's not good enough! Making you cry like this, he's a bad man." Saya kept on hugging Rachel who was sobbing loudly.

"Can I really compete with Eva? What if I finally realize I like him, but then its too late."

"It's going to be alright, its Eva I feel pity for. Since no matter what she does, Alex will only look at you." Saya tried to comfort Rachel but it had the opposite effect.

"What if her effort finally has an effect on him. Wouldn't he leave someone who doesn't even try, and keeps on rejecting him?... You know he hasn't even said that he loves me, or even likes me for that matter. All he said was he was overwhelmed by my beauty. Does he even like me?" Rachel started to act in a frantic manner.

"You know Alex, that guy with his stoic face wouldn't even try to say that kind of cheesy thing to just anybody. He only said that to you and you alone. He has never said those words to me, nor has he said it to Evangeline. So have confidence Rachel... Even if he does switch sides to join Evangeline, when you're finally able to sort your feelings, you can still fight back... Can't you? Is my best friend actually admitting that she has lost?" Saya said that last line a bit teasingly.

Rachel felt a bit of her courage coming back. "Of course I will not lose without a fight. I just need to sort of my feelings faster. When I do understand what I truly feel, Alex better be ready cause I'm going all out!"

Seeing her best friend finally regaining her usual spunk Saya smiled. 'Alex I don't know if you were a hero in your past life or something like that, but these girls Eva and Rachel I really think they're too good for you.'

Saya and Rachel started talking about Oliver, the club, Niel and many more things as the night went on.
