Chapter 1: The First...
"Ohau, class! Today we are picking up from last lesson, so if you could get your epithelium diagrams out please, we can continue."
Haruka Tenoh scanned the room lazily, already feeling the weight of the impending boredom of Mr. Tomoe's science class. She had no particular interest in Science, and the cool breeze from the open window beckoned her to the beautiful day outside. Seconds dragged like minutes, minutes like hours. The dull hum of the teacher's voice was mind-numbing to her, and the lack of intellectual challenge bored Haruka beyond belief. But relief came eventually in the form the bell ringing loudly and obnoxiously.
Corridors of teenagers bustled busily as Haruka looked around for any sign of her friends. Meandering through the narrow hallways, she eventually made her way out of the building, finding her friends Taiki, Yaten and Seiya on the track field.
"Ah, Seiya..." she sighed. Whilst not particularly keen on him, Haruka put up with him for the sake of the others, but goddamnit could he be annoying. By the time she strode over to them, he was blabbering incessantly about some silly girl in one of his classes. Haruka ran her hand through her short blonde hair, finding Seiya's conversation as inane as usual.
Haruka observed the field lined with trees, watching her fellow classmates playing soccer, lounging in the sun and groups of girls giggling. She admired the way the blossom fell gently from the trees, carried slowly by the breeze. She sees her.
Deep ocean blue eyes were locked onto the teal of Haruka's. The girl in question was petite, pale with a very pretty face, framed by thick, luscious aqua hair down to her shoulders. She looked shorter than Haruka's 5"8, yet she did not seem fragile. The girl's stare did not waver at first, her eyes fixated. Haruka's confusion and irritation grew. The girl blushed, giggled and looked away, turning back to her drawing.
Haruka turned to see if her companions had noticed, but they remained completely oblivious as usual. What was that girl's problem?
"It was like she was studying me...freak." she uttered.

There will be more very shortly, and I'm sorry this piece is a little boring, just trying to get some exposition sorted whilst not letting H & M go too OOC.
