Prologue


The sun's setting down as the teenage girl walked to her locker at school. It was go home time at school, everyone's packing their stuffs. Some students go separate ways, some go home together and some picked up by their parents. The street in front of Teitan school which was usually busy, now is quite and only insects voice and the clock ringing in ears. That's what the other students thought. But this teenage girl thought otherwise.

She thought that the only thing that have been ringing in her ears is that her heart's pounding. She put a letter in a locker named "Shinichi Kudo" and then left it alone. She then took a stroll to the school yard and found the guy... The beloved and perfect guy in her eyes. A smile spread through her face vanished less in one second as she realized 'He have ANOTHER.' And 'She's not WANTED'. Her face covered by her bangs and in sadness leaned over the school yard's fence, grasping the fence with her fingers.

The feelings agitated, anger or jealousy... who knows which of the feelings this teenage girl experience. She knew it hurts to grasp the fence with her bare hands and with such a strong power. But then again... it was to cover and hold the sadness in her heart. And she would rather getting hurt in physics rather than in her heart. Because it will never heal completely.

Never...


Chapter 1: Just Because The Word "Otaku"


It was Saturday. A teenage girl still staying on her bed, reluctantly to move an inch. She didn't come to school today, though most of the students came. She didn't come because she thought "What the use of me going to school? The event today is for everyone who wants to be part of Student Council. I don't want to and not interested." She tried closing her eyes time to time, yet she couldn't doze off to sleep. Something or fate force her to stay awake.

She finally move on, widen her eyes and grabbed her cell phone. Wondering if there's any student that didn't come to school today like her too. She logged in to some social network called "Tuiter" and start browsing the lounge. Usually all bots and no statuses in the morning, but this morning is different. There, she found her friend's tweet, found out most of her friends come to school today.

Then some fate happened. One of her old friend's, elementary school friend to be specific, is chatting with someone. This someone is her old friend's acquaintance in her Junior High School. His name is called "Shinichi Kudo.". She then have a minute of flashback, she remembered that she have seen this guy named Shinichi before in her class. Not exactly in the same class as her, but in the recess time, the boy named Shinichi was there, talking to his friends, and this teenage girl just watching from afar.

Uniquely, this girl doesn't pay attention to Shinichi Kudo's friends faces. She just pay attention to Shinichi's face while he was talking with others. That's probably the first time she met the guy named Shinichi. She's a transfer student, she never know Shinichi, but it somewhat feels like she have seen him somewhere.

Interested in this Shinichi who was talking to the teenage girl's old friend, she browse through Shinichi's statuses and bios. So, Shinichi come to school today, but it doesn't matter anything to her. What triggers all of these story is... the word Otaku in his bio. Just like that, the teenage girl felt happy to found some Otaku in her new school.

Since she knew that the guy named Shinichi is an Otaku, she can't hold the desire to say this line to that guy: "Wow, so you're an Otaku too. I can't believe it! Yay! I found a lot of Otakus in Teitan." And so she said that line through Tuiter. She doesn't know... that this single line... can change her life all this time...
