My name is Fujiwara Mizuki and I'm a freshman in Raijin High School. I'm just a normal fifteen year old boy. I'm not popular nor am I appealing in any kind of way. My grades are average, I'm kind of bad in some subjects and I'm not very good in any of them either.

I've always lived a normal life until I attended Raijin High School that is. There is a classmate of mine that's unusual, he's very strong and destructive. His name is Heiwajima Shizuo. He can beat a group of seniors on his own but that's not all, I saw him bent a soccer goal that was made of metal bars and threw it in the air. He truly is a fearsome guy.

Though I thought that my life would change and become more interesting at first, but nothing really changed. Even though there are a lot of things going around, none of them actually have anything to do with me. My life is just as boring as it was before only with an addition of the sight of people flying and huge objects being lifted and destruction happening every now and then.

I managed to become the classroom representative on my own will, but I didn't know that I had a troublesome classmate like Heiwajima Shizuo when I got the position as classroom representative. Though it might be hard I'll try my best and deal with it somehow, it was my decision to become class rep so what ever happens I'll do my best even though I'm not much of a leader type.

In the classroom after school

It's my forth day attending this school and trouble just keeps on coming. Heiwajima Shizuo was fighting with some random guys from another school that came here picking a fight with him on the school yard.

I was still in the classroom with two of my classmates that I have befriended with and watched the fight from the classroom window.

"I really wouldn't want to be on that guy's bad side."

"Yeah, we'll be killed if that happens."

"You two are just being dramatic. The worst that could happen if we make Heiwajima mad is we'll get some broken bones and sent to the hospital."

"Aren't you scared of him, Fujiwara?"

"Of course I'm scared of him, but as long as I don't do anything to make him mad I'm sure I'll be fine."

But seriously, he really is scary and as the class rep I'm going to have to deal with him somehow.

Besides me and my friends there was a girl that was sitting in the back corner of the classroom. Her name is Kurokawa Tsuruko, she's a quiet girl that always put on an expressionless face and doesn't talk to anyone. I've seen some of the girls that asked her to join them to eat lunch and go hang out somewhere but she refused them.

She's like a shadow in this classroom that nobody bothers to see now and it's only been four days. She's unfriendly and seems to avoid contact with others. But her unique personality attracts my attention somehow and makes me curious to know more about her.

In a small apartment somewhere in Ikebukuro

Hmmm…as the class rep I should straighten some things at school starting from the most troublesome stuff. But that would mean dealing with Heiwajima Shizuo and I'm not sure about that. As the class rep I'm the leader of the class and I have to have connections to all of my underlings I mean friends.

Perhaps I can find a good method in speaking with Heiwajima on the net. I turned on my computer and searched information on how to be a good leader. Is it weird that I'm actually trying to be more leader-ish just because I'm the class rep? Well, for once in my life I got an important role so I guess it's normal.

Two weeks later, Raijin high school, lunch break

Ok, now is the time I should gather my courage and just say it out straight, I'm the leader of this class after all.

Step 1: Act nice and friendly

"Excuse me, Shizuo-kun. Could you come with me for a while, there's something we need to talk about."

I said with a friendly smile on my face and trying to make it look like we're close friends. The truth is I was actually afraid if I said something wrong he might get mad and beat me up but I have to keep my cool.

Without saying a word he followed me to a quiet place where we could talk in private, even though it seemed like he was kind of irritated and had the thought "Why do I have to do this?" in his mind.

Step 2: Create a relaxing mood and lose all the tension.

"Here, I brought you milk."

I said as I gave Shizuo-kun a carton of milk. I also brought milk to drink for myself. This will definitely create a relaxing mood, I hope.

"Ah, thanks."

He took the milk and started to drink it. Seems like my plan worked. Now all I have to do is the final step, the reason for all this.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

Step 3: Speak friendly without making it sound like a warning.

"You see, Shizuo-kun. We've been classmates for more than two weeks now and I'm the class rep."

"So?"

Shizuo-kun grunted it seems like I have to go straight to the point.

"You've been fighting a lot and destroying school property. I'm not saying that you shouldn't fight since it's always the other party that picks a fight with you, but could you at least try not to break the school's property? It's kind of dragging the class into having a bad image from the teacher's perspective."

There I've said it. I hope he isn't mad at me. Shizuo-kun clenched his fists, crushing the carton of milk that was now empty in his hand. I felt fear screaming inside of me telling me to run away but I tried to keep my calm and stay put.

"It's not that I intentionally want to destroy school property. It's just that wherever I get mad I can't control my body and I'll take anything I can use around me to beat the hell out of the scum's that made me mad."

He said in a low yet powerful voice. I'm just glad he's not mad at me and felt relieved.

"So, I guess it can't be helped. If you can't control yourself then there's only one thing you can do to improve your image in front of the teachers."

I said while holding my chin.

"You'll have to create a good image when you're not mad by doing something like helping the teachers out or something like that. It might not be very effective but at least the teachers will have one or two good impressions of you."

"I'm not sure. I'll think about it."

He's not sure but at least he's considering my idea. I'm kind of seeing him in a different light now after actually talking to him in person, he's not so scary.

"Ah, there you are Shizuo. I've been looking all over for you when I didn't find you in your classroom."

A voice called out to Shizuo-kun from where a student was not far from us. If my memories serve me well, he's the guy that always hangs out with Shizuo-kun from the start of school and isn't afraid of him, in some sort of way at least.

"It's rare to see you with someone other than me or Izaya-kun. Is he your friend?"

That student said with a little teasing tone in the end of his sentence.

"Not really, he's my class rep. His name is…it's…Fukuro, right?"

Fukuro? Since when was my name owl? (Fukuro means owl)

"A-actually it's Fujisaki. Fujisaki Mizuki."

"Oh, right, right. Sorry."

"Well, you haven't heard my name since the introductions so it's understandable."

"That's quite mean Shizuo, you don't remember the name of you class rep."

"Shut up!"

"Anyway, I'm Kishitani Shinra. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I'll be leaving now."

As I walked away from the two of them looked back and said:

"Oh and Shizuo, I'll tell you if there's anything you can do to get a good impression."

Later that day, after school

School was over for today and I was on my way home when I remembered that I left my math textbook under my desk. I guess there's no choice but to go back to school and take it. I could just get it back tomorrow when I go to school but there's homework to do and I can't do it without my textbook.

The girls at class were talking about some rumor of there being a ghost in our class that shows up after school today. I don't believe in such rumors and even if it was true it's kind of fishy. Why is the ghost only at our class to begin with? There are many classes in Raijin high school so why would the ghost only show up in our class? It's really ridiculous.

The class sure is quiet when there's no one around. I took my textbook that was under my desk when I saw a shadow of a girl walking through the hallway in the corner of my eyes. When I turned to look there was no one there. Could that have been the ghost that the girls were talking about today? That couldn't be possible now, could it?

I was sweating in cold sweat as I heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. There's someone behind me, there's definitely someone behind me. But everyone has gone home.

I dared myself to look back and saw the figure of a girl with long black hair.

"What are you doing here?"

The girl said with a cold chilling voice.

Unconsciously, I screamed out loud and fell back to the floor. I was on the floor trembling in fear as I looked at the ghostly girl in front of me. But after I looked closer I knew that she wasn't a ghost.

"Why are you screaming?"

She said once again in a cold chilling voice. It really made her sound like a ghost.

"Ku-kurokawa, don't scare me like that, you scared the hell out of me!"

"It's your own fault for feeling scared, it's not like I tried to scare you or anything."

She's kind of creepy even though I know she isn't a ghost. I took a deep breath and stood up.

"So, what are you doing in class at a time like this?"

"I always read a book in class after school is over."

A conclusion has appeared in my mind. The ghost that the girls were talking about today was just Kurokawa that always stays in class after school.

"I see. What kind of book were you reading? Were you studying?"

"That's none of your business."

Cold and unfriendly as usual I see. It's no wonder she hasn't got a friend until now.

She walked to her desk that was in the back corner of the class and took her bag. It seems like she was about to go home.

"Are you going home now? Let's go together."

I said with a friendly smile on my face but she just passed by me and said:

"There's no need for that."

And left the classroom.

"Oi, Kurokawa!"

I called out to Kurokawa that was standing in front of her shoe locker and ran towards her.

"Don't be so cold. Let's walk home together."

She stared at me with her cold eyes for a few seconds before responding.

"Do as you wish."

She said with a monotone voice. Well, it doesn't seem like she's mad so I walk home together with her.

On our way home she didn't say anything and kept quiet. She's so distant with everyone that no one bothers to talk to her anymore, I kind of feel sorry for her. I wonder if she actually wants to make friends but she's shy. After a second thought, she doesn't seem like the shy type.

"Ano, Kurokawa. We've been classmates for more than two weeks now but you haven't become friends with anyone at school. Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong."

That was a quick answer.

"Then why don't you become friends with someone? You must have friends back in middle school, right?"

"I never had any and I don't need any."

You'll never get one too if you keep acting like that.

"You never had any friends? Not even when you were little?"

"Yes."

"Don't you feel lonely?"

She stopped in her tracks without a word. After realizing that she stopped walking I turned around to see her.

"What's wrong, Kurokawa?"

She just stood there and stared at me. I felt a chill going down my spine as she stared at me with her cold sharp eyes.

"Why?"

"Why? Why what?"

"Why are you asking me all of these questions? Why were you so eager to walk home with me? Why are you meddling with my affairs? Why do you talk to me? Why are you acting so friendly? Why? Why are you doing this?"

Ok, now she's really creeping me out. She looks more serious though her expressionless face didn't really change.

"Man that's a lot of whys."

I said with a nervous voice.

"To make it simple, I want to know more about you. But don't get the wrong idea. I just want to know more about you since I'm the class rep and you're not getting along with the rest of the class. Though personally I am curious to know more about you."

What am I saying? I'm telling her that I want to know more about her but I don't really want to but I want to. She must think I'm weird now.

"I mean you should at least be friends with one of our classmates or just be a bit friendlier if you don't want to be friends with them. The point is just cooperate."

She continued to stare at me. I really can't figure out what she's thinking.

"You sure are passionate with your position as class rep, aren't you?"

She said in her monotone voice.

"Isn't it normal to be passionate in doing the job they chose? I mean, I became class rep because I wanted to and not because I was forced to."

"It's not normal."

Huh? It's not normal?

"True, some people a passionate in doing the job that they chose on their own but you're different. Your think too much of the little details that you even went to talk to Heiwajima earlier this day and now you're talking to me. Others won't go so far like this just because their class rep."

It was the first time in my life that someone said I was different. I felt happy about it, to know that there was something about me that was different from everyone else. After thinking about it, it really isn't normal to go so far even as class rep.

"I'll be going this way."

She walks to a different direction on where I was heading to go home.

"Wait, Kurokawa."

She stopped walking but she didn't turn around and just stood still at where she was standing.

"What is it?"

"Etto, how should I say this? Umm…can I be your friend?"

"I don't accept you as a friend."

She said straight away and continued to walk home.

I don't know why but I'm starting to like her even though she still acts cold towards me. Perhaps I'll have better luck on being friends with her next time.
