*Sakura's POV*
"Everyone, we have a new student joining us today. Please welcome Sakura Ando."
I listened through the door as the teacher introduced me to the class. I slowly opened the door and walked in. I didn't look at the students as I passed them; I just walked to the front. When I was standing beside the teacher, I turned to face the class. "Hello." I said, as sweetly as I could.
*Leo's POV*
"Class, before we start the lesson, I would like to introduce you to someone. We have a new student with us today, Leonora Ando."
As the teacher introduced me, I opened the door and walked quickly to the front, my short hair bobbing. I turned swiftly to face the class when I reached the front. "Hey." I said with a small wave.
*Sakura's POV*
I was directed to sit beside a girl with short brown hair. She sort of reminded me of my sister, only without the blond ends. I smiled kindly at her as I sat down. I don't know if she saw.
"Okay, take out your math notebooks and copy this down." The teacher directed, writing a few equations on the board.
I copied them all down in my little notebook and started staring at them. So they're studying the slope of a line. I thought with a smile. It was easy work, and I was soon finished.
*Leo's POV*
I slid into a seat between two twins. I was sort of relived that me and my sister weren't the only twins at this school. They both turned to look at me as I sat down. I smiled widely at them.
"We'll start the lesson with a few easy equations." The teacher wrote some numbers and lines on the board. "Now copy them into your notebooks and solve them."
I copied them down and stared at them. What am I supposed to do? I wailed in my head. Sakura, I need your help!
*Sakura's POV*
I knew it was happening again. I felt the pull at the edge of my vision, and then my left eye was seeing something different. While my right eye was seeing my completed work, my left eye was staring at different equations that had yet do be solved.
Sakura, I need your help! I heard Leo's wailing in my head.
I groaned. I thought we weren't going to do this at this school.
I know. I just don't know what sort of equations these are.
I sighed and closed my right eye so that I could concentrate on Leo's notebook. Suddenly it disappeared. Leo! Open your eyes! I can't see. Then the notebook returned to my vision.
Sorry. I'm getting a headaque.
Close your right eye. I directed as I started to concentrate on her work. I was surprised when I realized that it was just a simpler version of what I had just finished. Slope of a line. I told her.
Oh, I see it now. Then the connection ended and I could only see my notebook.
*Hikaru's POV*
I rubbed the side of my head and tried to get rid of the pulling feeling. Suddenly, I vanished. I looked around the room. I noticed the new student, Leonora, slowly opening her eyes. Had she been sleeping?
I shook my head a bit to get rid of the lingering pain and turned back to my work. I'll ask Kaoru if he felt anything strange.
*Leo's POV*
After Sakura's help, it was easy to finish my work. Everything made sense after I knew what I was supposed to do. I soon finished all of the equations and closed my notebook.
**At lunch**
*Sakura's POV*
I met Leo at the door to the cafeteria. I was a little scared to see what kind of place it would be in a rich school. We walked in and found that it looked like a large, fancy restaurant.
"I don't think we'll fit in very well." Leo said, eyeing her cloth lunch bag.
I grinned at her. "Who cares. Why would we want to fit in with a bunch of rich snobs?" I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to a table. I sat down and opened my lunch bag. "What did you make?"
My vision split again. My left eye was now looking at a chicken salad wrap. I scowled and shut my eyes, concentrating hard to end the connection. It was hard because I wasn't the one who opened the path.
When the connection ended, I leaned across the table. "Leo, you have to stop doing that." I hissed at her.
*Leo's POV*
I didn't feel like talking very much, so when Sakura asked me what I had for lunch, I used our connection to show her. She wasn't amused with it.
"Sorry." I said quietly. "I just really like using the connection." I looked away and took a bite of my lunch.
*Hikaru's POV*
I stood in line with Kaoru as we waited to buy our lunches. I stared up at the menu, not really paying attention to what it said.
"Hikaru?"
I jumped slightly when Kaoru said my name. I looked over at him. "Yeah?"
"You seem distracted." Kaoru said. "What's bothering you?"
I didn't answer him. We had gotten to the front of the line, and I ordered. "Meal A." I picked up my lunch and turned to look for a table. Without looking at him, I answered Kaoru's question. "Something happened in math."
"What?"
"Well… Did you notice any sort of pulling at the edge of your vision around the beginning of class?" I didn't expect him to say yes. I expected him to laugh at me.
"You felt that too?" He sounded a bit surprised. "It was weird."
I nodded. Then I spotted some empty seats. I recognized one of the girls already sitting at the table. "Hey, there's the new kid, Leonora."
*Kaoru's POV*
I followed Hikaru through the crowd of people toward the table where Leonora was sitting. When we were almost there, I froze. There was another girl sitting at the table. She looked almost identical to Leonora, except her hair was longer, a little lighter, and the ends were dyed green instead of just bleached.
Hikaru didn't seem to notice the other girl. He walked past Leonora and set his tray at the seat beside her. "Yo, Leonora right?"
*Sakura's POV*
I watched as a boy walked past Leo. I was surprised when he set his try down beside her. "Yo, Leonora right?" He said.
I leaned across the table. "Leo, do you know this guy." Out of the corner of my eye I noticed another boy standing just away from the table. He looked almost exactly like the guy who was now sitting beside Leo.
Leo looked at the boy who had sat beside her. Then she looked back at me. "Yeah, I sit beside him in class." She turned back to the boy. "I'm sorry; I never got your name." She said kindly.
The boy smiled at her. "Hikaru Hitachiin." Then he looked over her head. "Kaoru, hurry up and sit down."
I turned to look at the other boy. He slowly walked around the end of the table and came to the chair beside me. I frowned slightly as he sat down. Then I was surprised when he turned to me. "Hi, I'm Kaoru Hitachiin."
I couldn't help but smile sweetly at him. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Sakura Ando." I didn't know why I suddenly felt like he was a good friend, but he seemed really friendly.
