What if…? (prologue)

I sat there at my desk staring at my pencil. You know how you're supposed to have fun on your first day at school? Well that's not happening with me. I played with my blue newspaper boy hat on my head, clearly trying to stay away from other people.

"Hi, I'm Claire." A girl with light brownish hair up to her shoulders stuck her hand out to me. I stared at her hand before inspecting her even more. She had a small smile on her face and blue eyes. She was skinny and a little short. She had a uniform identical to mines but with a skirt.

"Um…Hi. I'm Hershal Layton." I replied and shook her hand. I looked up and blushed a little. I just noticed how cute she is when she is smiling. Hoping she doesn't notice my blush, I turn away.

My 6th grade teacher, just announced our project, we would have to choose a partner to make a science fair experiment. I frowned, I am good at science, but not as goon as I am with English and history.

"Claire! Claire!" Yelled a tall thin boy. He had long dark hair and a evil grin plastered on his face. I couldn't shake the feeling that he is very bad news.

"Claire would you like to be my science partner!" He asked with an evil grin. I awaited for Claire's response.

"Ugh Paul go away! Besides I'm partners with Hershal here." She said. I blinked a couple of times and ask, " I am?" I see her wink at me. Then I realize what she's doing.

"Oh yeah I am!" I say. Paul gives a deathly glare to me and sulks away. I blink a couple of times and ask, "So why don't you want him to be your partner?" "Because he's obsessed with me and it's just plain old scary" she explains. I had to suppress a laugh, but she notices it. She playfully punches my arm and laugh.

The bell rang a few minutes later. We exchanged addresses and headed off to our homes. On my way home, I have a small but genuine smile on my face. 'Today was better then I thought' I thought to myself.
