PS: I DON'T CONDONE BULLYING

"TALKING"

"THINKING OR P.O.V"

"From the moment I laid eyes on her I knew she was different I can never forget those eyes, I knew it was fate and that we where connected under all of the rumors and pranks; I could never forget those green eyes and I could never forget my love for her."

The student's of Fuuka high crowded in awe at the sight before them as the student council's top student made her way though the halls of Fuuka high school men and women stared at the slender yet beautiful figure with long chestnut flowing hair with alluring red eyes that set any soul on fire. "Whoa Shizuru you have everyone in awe right now how do you feel about that?" said Reito holding up his hand in front of Shizuru's mouth in means to make a imagery microphone with his hand.

"Ara Reito you know how I feel about that I'm just like any other student nothing more nothing less," said Shizuru with a chuckle while getting her schedule.

The conversation between the two was cut short by the loud laughter from a group of students; as soon as the warning bell rung as the students cleared, Shizuru started to get a clear look at what caused the laughter.

Shizuru saw a girl her age with dark blue hair her hair was drenched along with her white uniform shirt that was once white now stained with orange. Shizuru looked in awe at the girl as she slowly started to search for her glasses, Shizuru looked in worry at the girl but soon found her mouth opening to ask who the stranger on the ground was.

"Reito may I ask who's that young lady on the ground?" asked Shizuru in her Kyoto-Ben laced accent. "Oh I think she hardly counts as a lady but since you asked that's Kuga nasty the biggest nerd and dork in school there also some other rumors about her but enough about that loser come on lets get to class." Shizuru let herself be dragged off to class by Reito; class started off without a problem Shizuru sat back and listened as the teacher gave out instructions for new lockers and placement exam dates for college.

Minutes passed until the entrance door to the class room was opened to reveal the blue haired teen her uniform still covered in stains from the orange soda the rim of her glasses broken from earlier, Shizuru heard the venomous whispers from her classes mates as the girl approached the seat in the far right corner by the window.

"Why are people whispering about her and why did Reito say those things about her I never seen her around before and what is the commotion surrounding her maybe there's nothing wrong with her and people are imaging things." Shizuru turned her attention to the teacher.

Soon after class was over lunch time came Shizuru, Reito, Haruka, Yukino and Tate all walked down the hallway it wasn't till they passed the door of the art room Shizuru turned to find the familiar blue haired teen sitting and painting in front of the canvas Shizuru stood and watched in awe at the grace and patience that the blue haired teen possessed while painting.

"It's her I wonder can I go talk to her right now as much as I want to I'm so content with just watching her right now."

"Come on Shizuru we have to go pick up our locker combinations before lunch ends," shouted Haruka.

Shizuru and the others stood in line along with the other students. Shizuru stood in line listening to Haruka and her statements that the line is too long and her plans for cutting, while Yukino was trying to convince Haruka not to. Shizuru soon found herself thinking about the incident in the hallway and her growing curiosity to know about the blue haired teen.

"Ara I have never been so captivated by a person I MUST find out about her regardless of what others say but just one question how to approach her?" Shizuru's question was left unanswered by her making her way up to the front of the line to get her locker number. As soon as Shizuru got her locker number she soon found herself at her new locker for the year she opened her locker and placed her books inside as soon as Shizuru closed her locker her eyes met a pair of green eyes behind broken glasses catching Shizuru in shock, Shizuru quickly recovered and soon found herself speaking to the green eyed girl.

"Hello my names Shizuru Fujino I guess we are locker neighbors now," Shizuru stuck out her hand to shake, at first the green eyed teen looked at the hand like a scared animal, but then she slowly raised her hand up to almost meet Shizuru's but it was instantly dropped as soon as Shizuru's name was shouted.

Shizuru soon turned around to see the source of the voice and gazed upon Reito and the others walking over; As soon as she turned around towards the green eyed teen's direction where she was standing Shizuru soon found that she was nowhere in plain sight.

Soon after noon classes started and Shizuru was deep in thought about the events earlier "I wonder what the events in the hallway where about? I should see if I can get some more information about her but I don't want to look suspicious to the others she looked so scared earlier, maybe if I become friends with her maybe she will open up and maybe the bullying will stop.

Soon after Shizuru and the others made there way to the student council room; "As you know the school is starting the stomp out bullying program this year so as student council members we have to set a good example for the rest of the students so that means no trash talk or acts of bullying people set an example," stated Haruka. "Well there is no one to bully but that Nasty Kuga I mean come one she's a dork all around and not to mention that incident last year as far as I'm concerned I wont bully the little freak as long as she stays away from me," said Tate.

Shizuru sat quietly and sipped her tea but underneath her clam cool presence her temper rose beyond its limit. "Ara I cannot believe what I am hearing from Tate and Reito such poor manners they have, but more importantly what incident happened last year with Kuga-sama I wonder if it was while I was away in Kyoto."

"Ara now people as the student council president I agree with Haruka's idea we should set an example think of when we where younger I know we have all had her past experiences with bullying so lets try to give people a break," said Shizuru in her sweet Kyoto-Ben accent.

Soon after the meeting was over and Shizuru walked back to her locker only to see a blue haired figure standing in front of her locker with tears pooling in her eyes, Shizuru quickened her pace to meet up with up with the blue haired girl.

"Hello Kuga-sama," the green eyed girl turned fast in fright to see the source of which her name came from. "H-hello Fujino-sama," said the blue haired girl with a bow. Shizuru took a look to see what her acquaintance was looking at; Shizuru was in shock at the markings and paint that covered her acquaintances' locker.

"This is horrible on be half of the student council; I would like to say sorry for my fellow classmates behavior," said Shizuru.

"N-no you don't have to do that I'm use to it Miss Fuji-"

"Call me Shizuru please I get Miss Fujino a lot around here but now that you have my name can you give me the pleasure of knowing your name," said the red eyed woman.

"My name is Kuga Natsuki and it's nice to meet you Shizuru," said Natsuki holding out her hand to shake. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Natsuki," said Shizuru in smooth Kyoto-Ben while taking Natsuki's hand to shake.

The two walked out of the school doors and into the almost empty parking lot Shizuru couldn't help but notice the chemistry book held tightly between Natsuki's arms and chest.

"Ara is Natsuki-chan a big fan of chemistry I see."

"Y-yes I am I love chemistry it's too bad they don't have college level chemistry books here, I have read every single book they have here so far," said Natsuki with a blush on her face. " Well I would be happy to lend you some books that I have from home I think they are college level but I'll bring them to you so you can see if you would like that Natsuki."

"Yes I would like that Shizuru." The two stopped at Shizuru's car.

"Well I hope we can talk like this again tomorrow Natsuki," said Shizuru getting into her purple Toyota FT-HS Hybrid sports car and drove off.

"I knew from that moment when my name rolled off your tongue I was meant for you. I knew my name was meant to be spoken by you and only you. You said my name but it wasn't laced in venom and hatred but with a sense of caring the day you shook my hand I was captivated in the presence that is you, even after a day names and the bullying I knew I was your woman by the end of the day."
