Recap of Chapter 4:

Meru is determined to make this year's School Festival a success, but with the delinquents doing whatever it takes to bring it down, Meru must face off with Uno-senpai who purposely hosts a fashion show on the day of the festival.
Will Meru's hard work all go into vain?

Chapter 5 Summary:

Determined to make the Festival a sucess, Meru seeks out help with her friends, hoping that they will be able to come up with an idea.
Surely, the genius Ruka comes up with an idea, but it would require Meru to do just about anything. From that day on till the festival, Meru is found rushing out right after school. The rebellious group starts to wonder whether she given up or not. Ayuzawa assures the others that as long as the school remembers what had happened in the past six months, they will certaintly show up to the event and so there's nothing to be worried about.

On the day of the Festival and the Fashion Show, surely enough litterally every student appeared, that of course: includes Meru.
Though it didn't take long for Meru having to be "captured" by Ayuzawa and Riku and gets tied up along with Ruka and Yuuki. However, little do the others know, this was all part of her plan.

When the fashion show ends, Yuuki bursts through the doors announcing that she had heard Yano Mito is over somewhere with Kazuki Orika is there as well.
It didn't take long for every to get all excited and rush out into the direction where Yuuki told them.

When the others in the rebel group hears that Uno never called over those two models, they quickly head outside, only to see that Meru was directing people in the direction they are supposed to go.

With the models encouraging the students to do the festival, before long it has started and the rebels asks how the heck did Meru pull it off of getting those two models.
Meru happily explains that thanks to Ruka's idea, that she had to somehow motivate the Models into showing up at their school. By doing so, she worked exceptionally hard which as results the models decided to show up to express their gratitude to her.
She then declares that it was her Victory.
Uno who refuses to admit defeat is stopped by Ayuzawa who agrees that it's their loss.
Meru, tries to encourage the group to particapate in hte festival and try to have fun, but Ayuzawa

Later after the festival, Ruka and Meru starts cleaning up the classroom, who was saying how she is glad that Ruka made more friends now. Ruka answers that she's a strange girl, and goes up to her and then gives her a kiss!
When they part, the two of them are speechless. Ruka quickly wipes Meru's lips with his sleeves and tells her he's going back to the school yard, and quickly leaves the room where Meru is dumbfounded.
tells her not to get too carried away.

Impression:

O.M.F.G.
Did that just happen? DID HE, RUKA JUST KISS HER!? \o O/'''
Well other than that, I'm glad that Meru won (well it was kind of predictable that she would win this round since she's the heroine). I am also glad that we were able to learn a little secret thank to Uno about how they promised that "no matter if people hate or hold grudges against them, that they would never be victiums again."
I think that might relate to bullying, or perhaps something to do with the school's authority. But whatever it is, it has to be great enough to have a good reason (though you really can't call anything that makes people do terrible things, "a good reason") about their actions.
