Being the new student singles you out instantaneously, it's pretty obvious when you're a new student too; gawking at the new school, nervously looking at people searching for a friend or someone to help, being introduced in every single class, the works. I sit irritated in my English class, not only was I introduced again, I kept getting easy questions to answer.

"Correct Kokawa-San." Natsume-Sensei smiles at me. I roll my eyes and turn my head to the window on my left. I'm on the second story of the school so I get a nice view of the cityscape. "No, sorry that's incorrect Kirihara-San." Sensei's voice pulls me from thoughts of the new city I was in. "Weren't you listening to Kokawa-San just a second ago?" Natsume-Sensei, a woman with long black hair and glasses, has her hands on her hips chiding another student. The boy slinks into his seat, he's a few row in front of me and I can see his curly black hair from here. Sensei sighs, "Kokawa-San can you repeat your answer?"

I do as commanded and watch the boy scrawl something on a piece of paper before answering his original question this time getting it right. Back to the window. I used to live up north, in the cold mountains, now I'm by the ocean and I'm dying of a heatstroke. Tugging awkwardly at my shirt collar I glance around the room wondering if anybody cares about the new girl, well clearly they wouldn't risk turning around to look at me. With a gentle grunt I go back to copying down the translations Natsume-Sensei was saying. My attention, much like my fellow students, was dwindling, it was right before lunch and I was getting hungry.

Bring! The bell rang and the students fled the room like a reverse Baby Boom. Chuckling to myself I gather my stuff and ponder where I'm going to eat my lunch. I doubt anyone will want to eat with me so I wander down the stairs and try to find my next few classes while I have the chance. Once I have the layout of the school down I find an empty bench off somewhere and begin to eat. Conversation drifts towards my ears as people laugh and joke off in the distance. Why did I have to move? Oh right, Daddy had to move for work. He manages a few computer businesses and there's a store in this stupid city that needed his assistance. So the family moved… and by family I mean myself, my parents, my cat, our mother cat and her five kittens. What a joy it is moving five baby kittens on a couple hour car trip.

Very unlady-like I gobble down my food because I wasted most of my time wandering the school. Then I rush into Biology class and have to stand in front of the classroom like an idiot as people filed in. The students gawked at me as they walked by to get to their seats. Finally with everyone sitting down the teacher, Yoshida-Sensei, turned his attention to me.

"Please, introduce yourself." He says stiffly. I can tell he's going to make my favorite class non-enjoyable.

"Ah, I'm Kokawa Amaya," I turn to the class, they glare at me, "I'm from Furano… Hokkaido. I moved here with my parents and if anybody is interested in buying a kitten I have four kittens for sale." I shrug and turn to Sensei to see if he requested anything else from me.

"Very well, go sit Kokawa-San by Kirihara-San, maybe you can keep him focused in class." He waves his hand at a boy sitting in the back row. Not any boy, the boy from English. He glares at me when I sit down next to him.

"You're that girl that showed me up in English." He growls.

"Didn't take much." I retort and he instantly shuts up. Normally I'm not a mean person but he was asking for it and I didn't want him going on and on about how I showed him up. We're both silent throughout the whole class, it's still early in the school year so they're learning the basics, currently we're learning how to use microscopes. Again I space out during class, keeping my chin in my palm and my elbow on the table, I scrawl half-heartedly throughout the whole class. The boy doesn't speak again to me throughout the rest of class, when the bell rings he grabs his crap and runs out of the room like I have B.O. I know I don't, I still smell like my citrus perfume.

The day ends with a loud Bring! that sends teens running through the halls. Instead of rushing home I find myself a spot on some hill with a couple trees and settle in to go over the papers I was given throughout the day. Teacher notices about work I absolutely needed to make up, homework, plus I had a list of all the clubs that I could join.

"Faster Akaya! You're speed is dropping! Marui! Pick up your feet and spit that gum out!" I found myself right in front of the boy's tennis courts. A guy with blue hair, a feminine yet powerful voice and a bright yellow uniform (everyone was wearing bright yellow) was screaming orders at everyone as they run around and do squats and stuff. "Niou! Deeper on those squats! Nobody is going to be slacking off! We need to be in top shape for Nationals!" I'm pretty sure that boy put the dic in dictator.

His screams made it hard for me to focus on my homework so I changed to something lighter, going over the list of clubs. Blue highlighter in hand I get to work sorting out clubs that appealed to me. The boy barks orders for a while before the barking stops, suddenly I'm able to focus more. My eyes scan the listing for the tennis team… if the girl's Captain is anything like this blue haired boy with the girly voice hell if I join. I do need to join a sport, I doubt there will be any good walking trails around here.

"Excuse me." A voice says politely. I look up from my internal monologue and see the blue haired boy and two other boys all in those obnoxious bumblebee uniforms. That's another thing, if the girl's uniform is a bumblebee too ugh.

"Yes?" I ask politely.

"Do you mind if we sit with you?" The boy smiles wide at me, he really does look like a girl, his hair is a little longer and wavy and he has a feminine face to match his voice. Plus his body is even thinner than mine.

"Of course, oh, am I in your spot?" I pull my stuff, which had swam away from me, back to my side so the three boys could settle by the tree.

"No, no, it's quite alright." The boy smiles at me before turning to the other two. I take a second to glance at the other two boys, one is about as thin as the blue haired boy and has brown hair in a bowl cut and his eyes are closed. How the hell can he see? Let alone read from the notebook he's looking at? Jeez. The other boy is taller and more built than the other two boys, he has black hair but he's wearing a black hat so I can't see much of it, except his sidebangs have been cut diagonally like a reverse bob. He glances at me causing me to squeak and look back to my papers. Somehow I feel incredibly belittled by all three of them despite the fact I only think the black haired boy is stronger than me.

Just then a huge gust of wind whips through causing the trees to rattle their new baby leaves and my papers to be ripped from my hand. I shriek and race after the papers. Papers flutter around and I madly run around searching for the papers. One lands in a branch just out of my reach, and that's saying something because I'm almost 5'8".

"Excuse me." A deep voice jumps me and I slide out of the way as the capped boy reaches up and takes the paper from it's perch and hands it back to me, he's got to be at least 6 feet tall. I bow deeply and thank him before hurrying back to my stuff to be sure I got everything.

"Oh, oh no." I look around searching for a page of the club list.

"Are you a new student?" The blue haired boy looks at me holding out the page in question. I take the paper and nod my head. "I'm Yukimura Seiichi, if you need anything let me know alright? This is Sanada Genichiro," the capped boy nods his head curtly, "and this is Yanagi Renji," the bowl cut boy nods his head too, "if you need anything let us know Miss…"

"Kokawa Amaya. I'm from Hokkaido… Furano." I say.

"Ah, explains the sweat." Yanagi mutters, I look at him with wide eyes. "You're perspiring more than normal, it's because you're not used to such warm temperatures." I nod my head, not wanting to know how he can tell I'm sweating so much, and go back to my work, they begin discussing who will play where and etcetera, tennis stuff. Finally, I've gone through the papers and decided I'm going to join a book club, an art club, the photography club and an archery club and I'll play tennis, maybe not seriously but I'll at least try out. Homework is next, and since the breeze has stayed I stay in the same spot and watch as Yukimura and the other two boys order around the tennis team.

.-.

Homework done and with my registrations in the office I head home, backpack over my shoulder I decide to walk since I know the walking route better than the bus route. My feet carry me silently as I jam out to American pop music from my iPod. I don't care if I occasionally shuffle or shake my body I had a pretty good first day of school. The mewls of kittens greet me when I unlock the house door. My kitten Riot, a white cat with heterochromia, races to my feet and demands I pay attention to her before she races off down the hall to the bathroom where her food is kept. Clearly she ran out of food or she can see the bottom of her bowl.

"Stupid cat." I mutter sauntering into the bathroom peering into her white bowl that still had plenty of kitty crunchies left in it. "Ugh, why are you so picky!" I take out the bag of cat food and pour the bowl full. Riot mews and eats greedily. "You'll get fat." I warn her as I shuffle from the bathroom upstairs to my room to dump my stuff onto my bed. Then it's back downstairs to the living room where the kittens and their mother lay in a box under a warm light. Moon, a black cat with a white spot on her hip, peers up at me with her yellow eyes, she's Riot's mother and has five adorable babies mewling around her. There's two black ones, a white one, a grey one, and one orange one that I'm keeping and naming Juice. They all peer up at me with their kitten eyes and I set them on the floor to roam around. Moon settles in my lap and I tell her about my day.

I give Moon food and make sure the kittens are happy before I set them back into their kennel where they're safe. Once that's done I go and start to make myself supper. Nobody's home, ever, and I've gotten used to it. Dad lives to work and Mom does too. Dad's always staying at his businesses or nearby because "it's easier that way" and Mom puts in so many hours at the local hospital she's never around either. Glad I can cook.

After supper is cooked I make sure the house is all set, no laundry that needed to be done, no dishes, and that I have food for the next few days. Then I head upstairs and drift to bed thinking about my first day of school and missing my old friends. I'll make new friends right? Maybe that Yukimura guy will be my friend. Who knows. What I do know is that I need sleep.
