CHAPTER ONE – First Meeting
I was seventeen at the time, a new junior transfer student. I switched schools because my mother thought it would be a good idea to try and make friends. If you haven't guessed it, I was a loner. No one dared and approached me because I was too…different. No one gave me a reason why, though. I was your basic average girl; at least, I thought so until this one thing happened to me, the unexplainable.
It was my first day of school at Seiyo Academy. As I walked to school in my short, red and black plaid skirt, white button up shirt, red tie, black belt, and blazer, two girls approached me.
"Are you Miss Hinamori, Amu?" they asked me. I nodded my head up and down, which gave them a "yes" in reply. They continued and spoke to me,
"We are the class president and vice president of your class and here is your class schedule."
"Thanks." I replied as they handed it to me
I headed off to class and waited outside the door until Nikaido-sensei, my teacher, called my name.
"Class, we have a new transfer student," He said. That was my cue. I walked in and everyone stared. "Please introduce yourself." He instructed.
"My name is Amu. Hinamori, Amu." I said plainly. There goes my outside character again. Why can't I ever act normal around other people? I thought to myself.
"Cool and Spicy!" The class chanted together. An awkward silence took place among the room. I let out a sigh and the teacher pretended to clear his throat.
"You can sit in the empty chair, back in the far right corner, next to the window." He pointed in that direction. I took my seat with my elbow on the desk and my chin in the palm of my hand. Again, I sighed. My golden colored eyes looked out the window, and I paid no attention to the front board or the teacher, who wrote on it.
Classes went by extremely slowly but it wasn't like I was paying close attention anyway.
"Do not forget! Your next assignment is due on Friday. Class dismissed." Nikaido-sensei said just in time, before the school bell rang.
Lunch time came and I decided to eat on the roof of the school. It happened to be a flat surface with railings surrounding it, so I was safe up there. I walked up multiple flights of stairs and opened the heavy metal door. As soon as I opened the door, a huge burst of wind made contact with my petite body and almost blew me over. Fortunately, it didn't. I walked further onto the roof until I got to the edge. I grabbed onto the rail in front of me and looked over the whole city.
Amazed, I turned my head from right to left; my eyes scanned everything they could. I saw something in the corner of my eye. It was about fifteen yards away. My eyes adjusted and the figure became clear. It was a boy; a tall young man with midnight blue hair, matching midnight blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. He wore the boy's school uniform and stood on top of the rail with his hands in his pockets.
"Oi, you might want to get down before one of those monstrous winds knocks you down!" I raised my voice, hoping he could hear me over the loud roars of the wind. He didn't even move or turn around. That ungrateful- I was not able to finish my thought because another strong wind started to push me forward. My naturally pink hair blew all over the place and immediately my eyes closed on their own.
When the wind ceased, I opened my eyes again to see if the boy had fallen off. He wasn't there! I ran over to the edge and looked down.
"Where did he go?" I whispered to myself, slightly panicking. To my surprise, he did not fall off, thank goodness, but if he didn't fall off, where could he have gone off to? In any case, the school bell rang and it was time for my afternoon classes.
I returned to my class and sat in my seat near the window. My class was in study hall, so we really did not do anything. As for me, I just stared out the window…again. I sighed in boredom. I squinted my eyes in attempt to block out some of the light that streaked from the window. No such luck. I stood up and went over to shut the blinds, but then I saw that boy again, the one from earlier. He lied down on his back and stared up at the sky.
Isn't he worried about getting caught? I thought. Well, I couldn't blame him. It looked like a nice day to be outside. Hmm…that sounded like a good idea. I'll head to the roof again after school. After class and before I went up to the roof, I quickly grabbed a snack to silence my stomach, having remembered that I did not get a chance to eat my lunch while I was up there earlier.
I lied down on the roof and stared up at the sky. I heard the roof door open up, but I didn't bother to look up and check who it was. It is not like they could see me …or so I thought.
"Ah, what a beautiful day it is outside!" The person said. Judging by the sound of the voice, I guessed it was a girl. She took a few steps forward and stood right where my head rested. She looked down and stared right at me, but she couldn't see me, could she? No, it's impossible. After all, I am…well never mind. She bent down closer to my face and reached closer to it. I thought she saw me, but it turned out that she was just dusting off her shoe. Then she walked right past me and leaned on the rail. She looked over the city and the light breeze blew her hair, and then sun shinned on her peach colored cheeks. She was actually cute.
She reminds me of… My thought ended there, as I remembered a painful memory.
"Do you come here often?" The girl asked. It didn't seem as if she spoke to anyone in particular. Besides, it could not have been me. "Hello?" She walked over to me and waved her hands in my face.
"Me?" I asked her.
"Of course, you are the only other person here." She said.
"You can see me?" I asked her.
"Yes." She looked at me as if I was crazy. "Why wouldn't I be able to see you? I did not respond and simply shook my head. She shrugged and walked back over to the rail. She looked over the city as time passed peacefully by. Noticing she stood there for quite a while she glanced down at her watch.
"Oh, look at the time. I have to go. It was nice meeting you." She walked to the door. "Oh, wait! I never did catch your name."
"I'm Ikuto. Tsukiyomi, Ikuto." I replied.
"I'm Hinamori, Amu. See you around, Ikuto!" She waved and headed for the door.
"Cherries? I think a strawberry pattern would suit you better." I smirked at her. A confused expression held onto her face. She didn't know what I meant at first, but when she finally realized to what I was referring to she blushed, pulled down her skirt as far as it could, and ran towards the door, but not without calling me a "pervert" first.
I chuckled at her. She's a strange girl. I watched her as she left. What a carefree attitude she has. She reminds me a lot of you, Meilin. I thought as my eyes drifted off to the sky.
