I know I shouldn't be making a new story when I have so many more to update… But the thought of Kaito in 1st grade was too irresistible! And yes, this chapter is short. I'm low on time, so DON'T JUDGE ME! Kidding, judge me all ya want, and leave comments on the results of that judgement… ^-^

I don't own vocaloid no matter how many stars I wish on.

The bench was so cold. It hurt just to sit on it. What good is a bench if you couldn't sit on it? I clutched my teddy bear tight to my chest and stared at all the other kids playing monkey chips on the playground. They were actually having fun at recess.

So why couldn't I?

I held my teddy bear, my best friend, closer, slowly got off the freezing bench and walked toward the playground. Snow fluttered around my face and I shivered.

They saw me and stopped playing.

"What do you want?" one of them sneered.

"C-can I play with you guys?"

He laughed one cruel laugh and the rest joined in, shouting remarks about why I can't join in.

You talk funny!

Your hair is weird!

Why do you carry around a teddy bear?

Wierdo! Stupid!

"Let's get back to our game!" a girl shouted to the others. "Without HIM!"

Shouts of approval rang through the air and they took off to the next playground, leaving me standing there alone.

Tears fell from my eyes. It was so stupid of me to ask... I looked up from my teddy bear, who was my only friend, to see the wide eyes of a girl with pink hair staring at me.

"I'm sorry, Kaito," she whispered before running to join her friends.

I stared after her for a while. Then I pulled my scarf closer and walked back to the cold bench, were I would sit every recess from this day in 1st grade to the last day of 5th.

With my teddy bear.

-5 Years Later-

The school was so much bigger. My heart was racing as I took it all in.

What if I get lost? What if the teachers are mean? What if someone talks to me and I don't know what to say? The kids here are for sure meaner…

That's hard to imagine.

My mom pulled up into the front of the school. She turned around and looked at me with worried eyes.

"Kainii… Everything will be fine. I promise. I'm just a phone call away if you need me… for anything," she told me.

I nodded and opened the door with my backpack on my back. I was honestly shaking as I approached the doors. A very, very tall guy bumped into me and knocked me over just as I was about to push open the door.

"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry! Are you ok?" he frantically apologized, offering me a hand.

I pushed myself up and nodded. His eyes widened as he took me in. I clutched the straps of my backpack and rocked on my feet.

"Um… is your hair…Blue?" he questioned in shock.

I looked down and walked through the doors without answering.

No, it's orange, you dumbass.

As always, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! :D

I may not update for a while (on any stories) unless I get more reviews, because if time= money, I would be broke.

Again, thank you for reading, and if you review Kaito will give you a teddy bear!
