Daily Life Of A Ponytail Girl

Rewinding time a bit to yesterday evening. Orange light was shining into a girl's bedroom. Within that room, two girls could be found sitting in their Majimena Academy school uniform, having a seemingly important conversation. Netsu Jōnetsu was speaking with glee in her voice about someone she met earlier that day.

"But yeah, this girl I met today was super nice, she came in to rescue me when the vending machine attacked me and helped me out getting a new drink."

The green-haired girl she was talking to was sipping her tea while listening.

"Also, she looked so stylish! She wore a pink vest around her waist, which seemingly no one does around school. Also also, she pulled off her ponytail so well, her hairstyle with a pink hair color looked so cute. H- hey Kusa, are you still listening? Have I been rambling too much? I have, haven't I?!"

Kusa tried to calm the panicked Netsu. "Relax, remember, stay calm and keep breathing. It's just, feels weird to hear the usually antisocial and anti-people you speak so fondly of someone for once."

Netsu jolted back in panic. "I- is it that weird? Am I weird again? I am aren't I?! B- but I though normal people always like, talked and had fun with other people?!"

"Drink some tea and calm down!" the short green-haired girl said as she tried to push Netsu's cup of tea into her hands. "Like, I know, but like, it's just weird for you, in particular, to be talking to people. Maybe you're just warming up to other human beings?"

"Well, for a moment I hoped so too, but then. . ."

The redhead girl put the cup down again, and with her upper legs to her c.h.e.s.t, Netsu started hugging her legs with a somewhat scared expression. "There also was this super mean other girl with red hair. She immediately attacked the kind girl with the ponytail with barely any evidence nor reason to do so."

"Someone dared attack my dear Netsu? Tell me who she is, and I'll make her regret ever laying a finger on you!" Getting all heated up, Kura threw a fist into the air.

"W- well, she didn't attack me physically, she just came over as a very mean person. . .

"In the end though, the nice senpai sacrificed herself and went with the mean girl, so she kept me protected!"

Kusa made a thinking face. "Sounds like you're very fond of this ponytail girl, huh? I'm better not about to lose my best friend to some new girl! I'll have to fight her to the death for your attention!"

"W- w- wa- wait what?!" Netsu said as she cowered away in fear.

"I'm just messing with you, don't worry." The short green-haired girl grinned while the short redhead let out a sigh.

"So anyway, after school I tried to help her out by asking around for information with other students regarding this whole incident. . . While I got some possibly useful information, I'll need to get to school early tomorrow if I want to gather more before she arrives. . ."

"Sounds like it's really important to you to make a good impression on this person, huh? Well, you have my support in this endeavor dear friend, I'll wake up just as early and help you ask around!"

"Y- you're really willing to do that for me?" Netsu replied.

"But of course, anything for my best friend!" The two girls smiled at each other.

"Also, anything to not lose to that ponytail girl!"

"Y- you're still thinking about that?!"
