Ch 1:- The first day at school

It was a pleasant morning with a cool breezy weather. A young girl in her teens was walking down a road. Leaves were fluttering in the wind against the azure sky. Though anyone would have felt a kind of happiness and serenity in their hearts being amidst nature at such times, the girl was definitely not in high spirits.

The girl had strikingly red hair, ruby red eyes, a very pretty face and a slender frame. She was walking with her head bent low and was in no mood to enjoy nature's company. Usually, Sora Takenouchi was a very cheerful person but that day she was very tensed. It was her first day at Odaiba high and she always had problems in adjusting with new environments. She did not know how the other students in the school were and she was mortally afraid of making a complete fool of herself in front of every one on her very first day in her new school.

She reached the school gate. It was nothing like what she had imagined. It was a very big building, with a vast expanse of greenery and a huge open playground. She stared at it open mouthed. Her old school at Kobe was nothing compared to it. She liked the school at first sight and she had a feeling that things might not turn to be as bad as she thought. She entered the school. Sat on a bench, took out a book and began to read. Nut she could not concentrate. She looked up and saw a few kids playing football. She remembered the time when she as a kid used to play football too. it brought a smile to her lips and she had a strong urge to go and join them but she thought intruding would be rude; so she got up and decided to take a stroll round the campus.

The bell for the start of the morning session rang. Sora Takenouchi took a deep breath and started walking towards her classroom, class X-A. She stood outside the classroom and waited for the class teacher to arrive. She closed her eyes and made a silent prayer to god to let things go well for her.

Kai sensei arrived. He looked at her with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

"Kai sensei?"

"Yes…that's me…and you are?"

"I am Sora Takenouchi; the new student."

Kai sensei thought for a while and then exclaimed "Oh yes…I remember now…come in…welcome to the class!"

She entered with him. He introduced her to the class "Class, welcome miss Sora Takenouchi…I hope you all will soon befriend her…have a good time here"

"Thank you sensei."

"You need a seat right…let's see…see over there, a seat is vacant beside that blond boy…go and sit beside him."

"Yes sensei."

As she passed, she could hear girls and boys whispering behind her. The boys were busy passing comments to attract her attention and the girls were busy comparing stuffs that girls usually do when they see someone pretty and well dressed. She felt herself going red as she always did when under pressure. She took her seat beside him, took out her books and started following Kai sensei's lectures. It was history and it was boring as usual. Tired of listening to the defects in administrative system of the communists, she turned her head to glance at the boy sitting next to her. It was the first time that she had noticed him in the whole while but she could not help stare at him.

She thought "He is so strikingly handsome! He has got such perfect features…"

She looked at his unkempt shock of golden hair and had a strong urge to run her hand through it. Realizing what she was thinking, she thought "Have I cracked out? I don't even know who he is."

She didn't know why but she wanted the boy to talk to her. She attempted to strike up a conversation.

"Hullo…" but she didn't get any reply. She set to doing her essay again.

Intrigued by his silence, she approached him again "Hi I am Sora Takenouchi."

Again he ignored her completely. Sora was very angry and hurt.

The third time she said very brusquely "Hey mister…Don't you have ears or are you too arrogant to answer?"

This time, much to her surprise, hr did actually look up. He turned to her slowly and answered "I can hear…I don't talk when I am writing something…My name is Yamato Ishida."

The moment their eyes met, Sora felt herself drowning in his brilliant blue ones. Yamato turned to look at his scroll again but Sora didn't look away. His rich, husky voice captivated her.

She was snapped out of her thought when the bell rang and she heard Kai sensei saying "Class dismissed!".

Sora ran out of the class and Yamato silently watched her….
