Shiemi Moriyama was a very shy girl. She knew that, her family knew that, and everybody at school knew too. Heck, probably even the whole world knew. So when the new kid plopped his stuff and himself next to the empty seat next to her, she could only look at him in shock and confusion.

She never was a social or outgoing person so she was an introvert that never got along with others. Shiemi usually sat alone in class every year, which then she started to feel more and more lonely.

The boy had dark blue hair, that almost looked black and the most beautiful set of eyes that Shiemi had ever seen. They were a brilliant shade of cobalt and shone with a carefree nature. The entire ensemble was completed with an ear to ear grin. Shiemi didn't notice that she was staring at him until he waved his hands in front of her face.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked. "Hello? Anyone there? You've been staring at me for a pretty long time now."

Shiemi snapped back into reality and could feel her cheeks getting warm from embarrassment.

"Oh. Sorry," she squeaked. "It's just that not a lot of people usually talk to me. I'm alone for most parts of the day."

The blue haired boy sat down and smiled again. "It's probably my fault that I didn't warn you that I was going to sit next to you."

He pointed to the desk that he was sitting in. "No ones sitting right her then?"

Shiemi shook her head. "You can sit there if you want to, but you probably wont want to," Shiemi said. "There are plenty of open seats up there if you want to sit."

He frowned at her when she spoke. "Why wouldn't I want to sit next to you," he asked. The way he said it made Shiemi duck her head down into her arms to cover her burning cheeks.

"Well, it's just that I'm not a very cool person. If people see you with me, they'll also think you are a loser like me."

Both of them sat in a long silence for a while and Shiemi couldn't look at him, for she was scared what the boy's response might be. The silence was broken when he spoke.

"I don't care what they think about me. I'm guessing that you probably don't have any friends," he said. Shiemi looked up at him and slightly nodded her head as an answer to his question.

"Let's change that," exclaimed the boy. "But first I need your name if I want to change."

He looked expectantly at Shiemi, hoping that she will say her name in agreement to his plan.

"My name is Shiemi," she said quietly. "It's Shiemi Moriyama."

His grin looked liked it was going to split his face in half when Shiemi replied. "Well, Shiemi. My name is Rin Okumura. Let's be friends!" He leaned over to her desk and put his right hand out in front of him.

Shiemi looked at his hand. She reluctantly took it and they both shook hands.

"Let's be friends, Rin," Shiemi said.
