"Hello, my name is Takamachi Nanoha.", the girl stretched herself; she woke up after a ringing tone of her cell phone. "I'm sixteen and I'm a normal student like anybody else, or at least that is what people think", with a sleepy face, she got out of her bed and went to the bathroom. When she finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, she was completely awake, and then she went to the wardrobe, took out a student uniform. "In school, I study well every subjects but my favorite is Math and I hate foreign language, my pronounce is very bad. I'm not good at sport but I like to watch the athletes run around the field so I'm the manager of the track team in school."
"Right now, I live with my family in a small house near the centre of Tokyo. Although it's small but my family opens a bakery in the ground floor and they have a lot of customers", the girl wore an ivory-white uniform, had a light make-up on her face and then brushed her long brown hair. "My parents, Shiro and Momoko, always love and take good care of me. Besides, there is my older brother and my older sister, but both of them are in the universities now. They rarely come home but when they are back, they always give me presents so I really love them." She used a white ribbon to tied her hair up, a pony-tailed in the left. Watched her in the mirror one more time, then she took her briefcase and went down stairs, to the kitchen.
"Nanoha, good morning!" A voice came from behind Nanoha when she went down the stairs.
"Good morning, Yuuno-kun!" "Living with my family is Yuuno-kun, Yuuno Scrya, my childhood friend. We have known each other since we were born. Our parents are best friends and accidentally they were in the same room when they were in the hospital. When we were three, his parent got an accident so from that time; Yuuno-kun stays with us. We are closed to each other like brother and sister; you guys can't believe what we have done together. Really! My parent wanted to adopt him but he refuse because of some personal reason that I never know. Yuuno-kun is really good at studying, he always get good grade in almost every subject, except for P.E. That's why he studies a lot and wears big glasses on his face. He looks funny but I think he's cute. Telling you, he's a T.A in Tokyo University, admired already?" Nanoha greeted everybody and then had her breakfast.
"Your school is going to be repaired this week, right Nanoha?" Shiro, Nanoha's father asked when he was reading a newspaper.
"That's right, dad! Today is my last day at school. Until the end of my senior year, I will study at an academy nearby, right Yuuno-kun?"
"Yeah. This academy is pretty famous in the city for its scholastic achievement. It always gets the top of the list of the best school every year by the Ministry of Education. Even though, I don't care much about this but I'm really worried about you, Nanoha." Yuuno looked at Nanoha doubtfully.
"Yuuno-kun, I don't study that bad. You don't need to worry about me." Nanoha frowned, turned away to continued her breakfast.
"Eat faster, everyone are waiting for us at the bus-stop!" Yuuno took his briefcase. "I'm off now! Good bye!"
"I'm done, wait for me!" Nanoha quickly finished her breakfast and then took her briefcase too, followed Yuuno. "I'm off. Good bye, okaa-san, otou-san!"
"Have a nice day!" Her parent said in union.
"Our school has been damaged by short circuit after a stormy night so all the students have to move in three schools in the neighborhood for three years. Luckily, I and my friends are in the same school." Nanoha held Yuuno's hand, dragged him back. "Onii-chan is meanie. Why don't you wait for me?"
"Don't call me like that, you scare me now!" Yuuno frowned and looked at the girl beside him.
"If you want to then next time… don't leave me!" Nanoha raised an eyebrow. "Ah, there's everyone!" Nanoha waved her arm, smiled happily. "Good morning, Arisa-chan, Suzuka-chan, Hayate-chan!"
"Good morning, you two are too slow." Arisa frowned, waved for the bus that was coming.
"Good morning Nanoha-chan, Yuuno-kun!" Suzuka smiled to them.
"What did you do last night? Too eager for tomorrow? You guys are really late." Hayate push Nanoha's arm lightly, half-smiled.
"No way! Quite the opposite, I'm sad now." Nanoha said when she got in the bus. "Suzuka-chan and Arisa-chan are two of my best friends. I and Yuuno-kun have known them since we were in the elementary school. And Hayate-chan, I only met her seven years ago. I accidentally met her in the hospital when I took care of Yuuno-kun because of the food poisoning. In that time, she had to sit on a wheelchair but a year later, she has been adopted. After having physiotherapy for two years, her legs can move now but sometimes it hurts."
Arisa sighed. "Today is the last day. Everybody in school, especially the clubs, organize farewell parties. So that means we can't come home together this evening."
"Yeah. This evening, Yuuno-kun doesn't have to wait for me. I have to stay with the track team so maybe I come home really late." Nanoha leaned against the seat, looked at Yuuno innocently.
"I know. I'm busy with my T.A job anyways."
"I don't know what our new school looks like." Suzuka sadly looked out of the window.
"We don't have our new uniforms. How can we come to school?" Arisa said.
"Relax. I'm on it already!" Hayate smiled. "I know a person in that school so I asked her to take the uniforms for us." Hayate took off the bag she was carrying and gave to each one their uniforms, black casual uniforms and dark blue P.E uniforms. "Here, black jacket, grey vest, white shirt, black skirt and red tie… summer uniforms and winter uniforms are all here. For Yuuno-kun, it's black pants." She winked at Yuuno, made the boy turned away.
"Wow, its all here. Scary! You really have a friend in that school?" Arisa took her things then smiled to Hayate.
"Yeah. In the future, she will be my classmate but not you guys. You four will study in another class." She said sadly. "Anyways, she has agreed to be our guide tomorrow so you guys don't have to worry about getting lost anymore."
"If so, someone has to get up early tomorrow. Making people to wait for us is not a good idea, you know?" Suzuka smiled to Nanoha and Yuuno.
"Mou… I get it, ok? Stop laughing, Yuuno-kun." Nanoha blushed; push Yuuno's side hardly when he was giggling.
"Tomorrow, you will have to introduce your friend to us." Arisa rested her hand on Hayate's shoulder.
"Of course I will."
"What kind of person is she? How do you know her?" Nanoha began to ask but the bus has stopped in front of their school. Hayate hit her shoulder lightly when they got off the bus.
"Don't worry, you'll know everything tomorrow. I'm sure you guys won't be disappointed."
The last day for the students of this school is a very sad day with lots of farewell parties and eye tears. Nanoha's group just started school only a few months then the accident happened. But they will be in the same school so for them, today it's not very sad.
"Oh, it's really late now." Nanoha looked at her watch, held her briefcase then ran quickly to home. "I can't believe that the party is this long. It's dark now. Maybe I should call Yuuno-kun to pick me up?" She thought for a moment then she shook her head. "It'll disturb him. I'm sixteen now, I don't want to depend on him anymore." She kept running until a shadow blocked her way. She tried to move away but she stopped suddenly, felt something was holding her wrist. She slowly turned around and panicked when she saw two men were behind her.
"Hey babe, why do you have to run so fast? Stay here and go out with us for a moment." The guy who was holding her wrist sniggered.
"Let me go! I'm busy. I don't have time for you." Nanoha tried to get rid of the rugged hand on her wrist.
"C'mon, just a little. Go out with us, I'm sure you'll have fun." The other guy took another hand of Nanoha, pushed her into the wall.
"Let me go. I said let me go!" Nanoha struggled violently.
"You're pretty and smell nice like this; it's really wasted if you don't come with us." A guy said when his hand started to touched Nanoha.
Nanoha was helpless before two big guys that she started to shivered. "Anybody is here, SAVE ME!" She closed her eyes and screamed, hoped that someone would hear and come to save her. "I should call Yuuno before. What am I gonna do now?" Nanoha thought.
"No one will save you. Stay silently or else." One guy has just finished his line then got a kick right in his face and made him fell on the street.
Nanoha has been released one hand. She felt something weird so she opened her eyes. A shadow lashed in front of her, kicked the other guy's stomach and made him fell. In front of her, a girl with long blond hair, long legs and an attractive body appeared.
"Bastard! What do you think you are doing? GET OUT OF MY SIGHT and do not touch her or I will kill you, UNDERSTAND?" The girl cried loud angrily, made the two pervert guy quickly ran away. She turned around, picked up her briefcase and Nanoha's then said to Nanoha. "Are you OK?" A sweet bass voice appeared made Nanoha blushed.
Nanoha took her briefcase from the girl, flicked off dust on her cloth then looked up, burgundy took her attention so she blushed, again, stayed quietly for a moment then answered. "Ah… yeah… I'm fine. Thank you for saving me."
"It's nothing. Next time, don't go alone at night. You don't know what will happen to you and you aren't so lucky that you meet someone to save you twice." The girl looked at Nanoha one more time than left. "It's fine now so I'm off."
Suddenly, Nanoha realized that she hasn't asked the girl's name yet but the girl has already gone. She touched her chest, thought as walking. "She's so attractive and those burgundy eyes are beautiful. But why do I have a feel that… those eyes… are sad… painfully sad. Why a beautiful girl is likes her… so… lonely? Could I meet her again? She wore uniform so maybe she's same age as me. And her uniform… just likes my new school's uniform. If it's true then tomorrow I can meet her again." Nanoha's thought disappeared when she realized she had arrived to her home. "But why did my heart… beat so fast when I saw her?" Nanoha touched her chest, embarrassed, slowly came in. The last day at the old school of Nanoha ended with lots of confusing feeling in her heart.
