Summary: "so he's new…what's new?" acting all aloof because she thinks it's all gonna drag her down the sink. With a new mystery boy in town, what's a girl to do? And literally…a BOY?
Tapping her pencil on her chin, she sighs. 'Can life get any more boring than this?' She's in class, the professor assigned the students a self-study time, but as usual, no one's making a move to read or even glance at their notes. There's gossiping, quarrelling, teasing and a whole lot of going-ons, none of it which related to studying. And she's getting bored to death, wishing something out of the norm would happen. 'I do wish this bunch of bastards would suddenly turn gay and confess their disgusting love for each other' she thought.
"Nee, Mafuyu-chan. You seem to be in deep thought. Is something the matter?" said Tomo, the blue haired, busty girl next to her, her friend since childhood and roommate in the apartment they both lived in. They were best friends since their diaper days, and they treated each other more than sisters would. It wouldn't be a surprise if they knew each other so well. "Nah, just a tiny bit bored. This ruckus has become a daily ritual for their daily lives. Don't they get tired of it? We're in college, for Christ's sake..." said the annoyed, red-haired beauty, getting irritated, all right. Still fiddling with her mechanical pencil, she sighs again. She hates petty fights, incessant gossiping and childish brutes, but then the red head knew better than to waste her efforts into something she's not even sure she can handle.
Clapping her hands, Tomo exclaimed "Mafuyu-chan the class only started an hour ago, surely you'll have to endure all this until our vacant period. I know! How about we go to that newly opened ramen house near the station? I heard they've got some oddly flavoured ramen there...foie gras-flavored perhaps?" "What the..? Just what kind of food hybrid is that?" Suddenly feeling the urge to throw up, Mafuyu resisted to think of how a foie gras-flavored ramen would taste or even look like. "But Mafuyu-chan you wouldn't know unless you-" Putting her hands in front of her, Mafuyu interrupted Tomo before she could finish trying to appeal with her suggestion "Look, I love you Tomo and I don't want to risk our friendship with this odd idea of yours. I don't feel like eating some kind of exotic food today or any other day. And I'm pretty sure your foie gras ramen won't make me cheer up even an itsy-bitsy better. OK?"
Tomo was about to say something more but then the door suddenly swung open. Their professor entered quickly as if he's in a hurry. The class went silent; some were a bit bothered that their little business was interrupted. "OK class, I know a lot of you were annoyed I broke into your tiny bubble of idiocy but I have to introduce you to a new student of this class. Since he's a bit late into the semester and he needs to start into class ASAP..." And everybody stopped whatever they were doing, curious of the mystery student. Some of the girls hoped it would be a hot guy of their taste, and the boys wished for a hot lady with a big bust line and a rounded bum. Even Mafuyu whose boredom was striking rock bottom a while ago got interested.
"And so, here HE is...C'mon now, you may enter..." The class shifted their gaze from their professor, to the figure entering the classroom.
The class' eyes were glued.
Her pencil dropped. Even Mafuyu's eyes insisted on staring at the pale, beautiful being with silky, silver hair who stood right before them.
His skin was of an alabaster white, making him look like an albino. His eyes were of a deep, ruby red. And there, on the left side of his beautiful face, was a scar shaped like an inverted Eastern Cross.
Sporting a blank expression, one would take him for a doll, if not for his occasional glare at the professor. 'Maybe he's a bit ticked off by all this staring of an audience. Uncomfortable it is for him.' Mafuyu thought.
"A transfer student from Russia...He's name is Alexander Nikolaevich Hell. He's still not used in speaking Japanese so I hope all of you will treat him with consideration."
The transfer student suddenly glanced at everyone in the room, sending chills to everybody's spine. Giving off an expression that's ready to kill. "Nee Mafuyu-chan, don't you think he's quite adorable for a college student? Like a little brother in middle school?" Tomo said in a low voice. "Baka! What's adorable with him? He looks like a child of a yakuza for me. I mean, just look at his eyes, bloodthirsty. I'd say he'll even lick spilled blood on a dirty, filthy pavement..." But then his eyes stopped at Mafuyu. She suddenly felt like a prisoner next on the death row with how intense his eyes were boring a hole through her. And not the "intense" kind of good way. But before any fear could pass off, she matched his glares with fiery ones of her own.
Now Tomo's got a horrible feeling. Little did Mafuyu know...she's got a whole lot of what she wished for.
