Sakuma Suzu
Yuu at a commercial photo shoot that his mother has talked him into. Suzu is a collector of pretty things and to her, Yuu is pretty. She tells him that she loves him and she schemes to break him and Miki up. Miki is very concerned about her because she believes that Yuu looks better with Suzu than with her and she is afraid that Yuu will realize that too. In episode 31, the gang is at the Toryo school festival and Yuu and Miwa are putting on a concert with a few of their friends. I forgot to mention that Miwa and Suzu are cousins. Anyway, at the end of the concert when the audience is applauding, Suzu walks out on stage and pretends to give Yuu a rose. He reaches for it, she pulls it away and stands on tiptoe and kisses him in front of everyone, including Miki.
When the kiss doesn't break Miki and Yuu up, she schemes a Halloween party and invites Yuu, Miki, Miwa and Meiko. What no one knows is that she has also invited Kei to play the piano at the party. Miki doesn't know that Yuu has been invited to the party until Suzu calls her and invites her to come, 
saying that of course Yuu will be there. Yuu has believed the whole time that he was going over to tutor Suzu, whom he has been tutoring since the commercial shoot. Miki sees Yuu and Suzu dancing and gets mad. She then sees Kei playing the piano and goes over to talk to him. Suzu sees this, gets Yuu's attention and Yuu gets the wrong idea that Miki is there with Kei.
Anyway, things eventually work themselves out and Suzu loses again. She continues to try and break them up and in episode 43, they all go on a ski trip. Suzu tricks Miki to go on the largest slope and while Miki is gone, tries to get close to Yuu. What Suzu doesn't know is that Miki is not a very good skier. Snow starts to fall heavily and everyone gets concerned about Miki. Suzu finally gets scared and tells Yuu where Miki is. In the meantime, Miki is going slowly down the slope hoping to catch up with Yuu. She becomes very tired and slumps to the ground. Yuu, on snowmobile, finds her and takes her back to the lodge. Everyone runs up to see if Miki is ok and Miwa pushes Suzu forward to apologize. Miki tells everyone that because of Suzu, she has reached a higher goal. She got partway down the mountain herself! Suzu is stunned that Miki was not angry and finally realizes that she has truly lost Yuu for good. Suzu and Miki become friends.
