It's the first day of school, the day of the entrance ceremony. The first years are gathering in the middle of the field when my sister, Reine, is taken by the teacher, accused of dying her hair.

That's why I told her to dye her hair. Yes, our hair colour is not considered normal here. It's damn pink. I dye my hair brown in order to avoid problem like what Reine has just gotten into.

I believe that Reine will be able to settle it by herself, so I join the other students in the morning assembly.

The assembly starts soon enough and all the students stand in the middle of the school field, waiting for the long-winded principal's talk to come to an end.

Shoot, the sun is very harsh today. I start to feel dizzy by standing up too long. Well, my body is not very strong. Unlike Reine who has the stamina of a bulldog, I get sick easily. The torture continues and they call the student representative, the president of the student council to give a speech.

This is taking too long. My body starts to lose its energy and suddenly, everything goes blank.

Allen

Opening ceremony for the new student is one of the occasions that I hate the most. Why? It's simply too long and I don't like to stand up and do nothing, hearing nonsense that the principal has repeated over and over again each year. It's waste of my time.

I always hope that I can just skip this ceremony, but as a second vice president of the student council, who is aiming for the position for the president this year, I can't afford to skip. I have to present myself as a proper model student.

Still, I just hope I can just skip this useless ceremony sometimes.

That's when I hear chattering among the first years.

I can barely hear what they are murmuring about, but I manage to pick up some words.

"She fainted."

I think God is on my side today, I may be able to use this as an excuse.

"What happened?" I say as I approached them, pretending to be friendly as a student leader of this school.

"She fainted because of the heat, I guess." One of the male student replies.

They have moved her from the middle of the field to the side, but are they serious? Most probably, she fainted from heat stroke, but they don't even move her to the shaded area. It's either they are purely stupid or just do not bother to help her.

I guess I'll just take this chance to get out of this annoying ceremony then.

"I'll take her to the infirmary." I say as I crouch down and pick her up, holding her closely so as to make sure she will not fall. The other students back away, simply nodding before they return to the assembly ground.

As I carry her to the infirmary, I notice her brown hair falls nicely under her shoulder, but something seems to be out of place. Is it her nose? No. Is it her eyes? No. Then I notice the colour of her eyebrows. It's pink.

Hmm... So she dyed her hair. Well, it's not like I care very much about it, she will be in more problems if she never dyes her hair I guess. The discipline master of this school, Mr Gaston, is very weird anyway: he likes to condemn student who has uncommon hair colour and punish them for so-called 'dying' their hair even though it's their natural hair colour. It happened once with my childhood friend, Rod, whose hair is yellow-ish orange. In the end, he only manages to convince him by showing his family photos.

I arrive in the infirmary at last and I settle her on one of the beds. Now, I have to wait for this girl to wake up. At least, this is better than listening to the endless rambling of the principal.

Gwen

I slowly open my eyes, just to be greeted with white colour. Am I dreaming?

"Oh, you're awake, are you okay?"

There's a voice beside me.

I turn my head to the left and find a red haired boy with a square half-framed glasses, sitting on a chair with a small book on his right hand. So this place is... the infirmary of the school? I just passed out, didn't I? Well, this is not the first time it happens, so I'm not that shocked.

"I'm fine." I reply softly, my head is still very dizzy, "Thank you."

He only smiles before he returns his sight to his book. He seems familiar, but I'm quite sure that I do not know him personally.

"Do I know you?" I ask out of curiosity.

His eyes widened upon hearing my question. Nevertheless, he stops reading for awhile and face me, "I'm Allen Rosencrantz, the second vice president of the student council of this school. You can at least, pay a bit of attention to the ceremony this morning."

Oh, my bad. I did never pay attention at all, since I was very dizzy, but I guess I can recall the president and vice president of the student councils being called to the stage this morning to give out a few words.

I should apologize for my negligence.

"Sorry."

Allen chuckles. He seems to be amused, even though I do not know the reason why.

"I know it, the ceremony is pretty boring, right."

That's something you'll never expect from the member of student council. Nevertheless, I nod in response.

Suddenly, the door opens with a loud voice following it, "Gwen, are you alright?!"

That must be Reine. Allen stands up as Reine reaches the side of my bed.

"Well, I guess I should take my leave now since the ceremony is over. See you..."

"Gwen Kreiss." I simply say.

"See you, Gwen."

Thus he left.

What do you think?
