I hate teenage boys. All they think about is wasting their free time away playing, fighting, getting dirty, changing partners like disposable gloves...

Hitomi was walking along the riverbank that connected her school to the surburb she lived in. There were a few groups of boys having fun in the water after classes ended. It was an annoyingly hot summer day, but boys seemed to be having the best moments of their lives. Hitomi felt somewhat envious, she didn't have any close friends to fool around with like that. This feeling of constant loneliness gave her a fake feeling of maturity, a fact she would realize later on.

Touou high school didn't particularly stand out. The only thing that did stand out was Touou basketball club, or so they said but Hitomi couldn't care less. The reason she chose this school was painfully simple: it was very close to her house and Hitomi disliked having to move around a lot.

While it is a known fact that there were a lot of things Hitomi disliked in this world, the number of things she loved about this world prevailed. She loved people, loved the rain, poetry and all the sappy things ordinary girls enjoyed, but most of all she indulged herself in chocolate and other sweet things after a good noon nap.

The rooftop of the main school building was a rather popular yet restricted spot. That's why it was a perfect place to take a nap at. While on her cleaning duty, Hitomi once stole the key and made a replica of it making her the only student owner of the rooftop key at school. Since she didn't have any close friends to share that with, she decided to keep it a secret.

Having finished her bento in one go Hitomi rushed towards her next appointment - to the rooftop. The sky was innocently blue today, so the nap promised to be as soothing as ever. But having arrived at the rooftop, she felt something was different this time. There was something big lying on the highest spot on the roof. Hitomi went up the stairs and saw a dark-blue haired overly tanned boy sleeping there in his back with his arms supporting his head. A thin line of drool was coming out from the corner of his mouth. The boy seemed to be having a very nice dream. If not for his school uniform, Hitomi would've taken him for a university student, because his height reached at least 190 centimeters. It was the first time she saw such a tanned skin in Japan in her short life. Hitomi unconsciously stretched her hand to touch the boy's face but realizing what she was about to do removed it. The boy could be a delinquent for all she could know, and Hitomi didn't want to get into any unnecessary trouble.

Hitomi has forgotten for how long she watched the boy's face as he kept on sleeping soundly, and felt that sleepiness has gotten to her as well. Too sleepy to think about any possible danger, Hitomi lay on the ground a couple of steps away from the boy. Despite July, the wind was rather harsh today and her cardigan and short skirt were not enough to keep her warm on the cold floor of the rooftop. But, too lazy to go back to the classroom to take her P.E. jacket Hitomi fell asleep. She didn't remember what she dreamed of but it was somehow a very warm and gentle dream. It was so warm, Hitomi wanted to stay forever in that world even if that meant skipping all the classes today. Then suddenly the warm and fluffy feeling disappeared and a cold concrete-like feeling took its place. Hitomi opened her eyes. She forgot she fell asleep on the floor, but there was a more important fact she forgot about. Right in front of her a dark blue-haired boy was sitting cross-legged and stared at her with his riht hand supporting his head.

Then it suddenly came down to her, and she immediately sat up, fully awake now.

The boy stared at her with a half-sleepy half-indifferent look on his face.

- Is there something on my face? - Hitomi inquired.

The boy frowned at her reaction.

- You've got some nerve disturbing my sleep, - he groaned. - First sleeping on my arm, then waking me up with a punch to my face. - The boy's voice was deep, very deep and it resounded in Hitomi's heart. Or at least that's how the romanticist in her thought.

Hitomi opened her mouth to answer but couldn't find words, because apparently she was in the wrong here, because since she was cold she rolled over to that boy in her sleep to keep warm, and, what's more she accidentally punched him in her sleep as well. What a way to wake up, she smiled to herself and sympathized with the boy.

- This is my spot so that you know, - Hitomi chuckled.

- Huh? Who said that? Isn't that against the school rules? - the boy became more and more annoyed with what was going on.

- I'm the only one who has the key is me, so how come you're here? - Hitomi was amazed at herself for not having thought about it earlier.

- Connections.

The conversation certainly wasn't flowing smoothly.

- I don't know how you got the key but I discovered this place first, so the rooftop is mine, - Hitomi stood up and looked seriously in the boy's eyes.

- Haaaaa? I came here first, it's mine, so never come here again, - the boy menacingly warned Hitomi.

Hitomi felt herself tremble under his gaze but tried to hold her ground. - I dare you come here again, - Hitomi frowned. The boy didn't say anything, he only stared at her. Hitomi felt being crushed with that gaze and the only thing left for now was retreat. She turned away and left the rooftop, slamming the door as loudly as she could.

- Damn, and here I wanted to sleep until P.E.. How troublesome, - the boy scratched his head and yawned.

Walking to her classroom Hitomi was ticked off. Who was that guy? How dare he shoo me away from my secret spot? Hitomi puffed her cheeks and suddenly stopped. Just who is he?...

E/N: Okay, writing on behalf of Aomine is a bit difficult since he doesn't talk much to strangers. I hope he didn't sound too OOC in this chapter, but that's only because the conversation that happened here was a rather cliche one. I'll try to make him sound as natural as possible in the next chapters, so please review! I also don't plan on making this story long, so I hope no one will be disappointed.
