Imperfect, is what I am now.

Perfect, is what I'll be in future.

Being just above average doesn't cover it for me and my family. For my reputation to keep up, I'll have to keep my grades, popularity and humbleness high. Chin up, Rola Sakuraba.

You need to be perfect!

I walk into what will soon be a social santuary for me; A classroom. I see my classmates, all with excited gossip about what they did over the holidays and their reminiscence of middle school. I, myself, haven't gone to one. For perfectly normal reasons...

Anyways, I sat down in a vacant seat, next to some females who seemed to be invested in chatter. I didn't want to disturb them so I paid them no mind. Around the back of me were some boys who were so interested into a game one had on his iPad. I didn't understand a thing they were saying so I ignored them for the time being.

It took a few minutes for it to dawn on me of how lonely I am... I don't want to start my school life being a social outcast! I'll surpass everything and everyone! I'll be the single most popular and academic!

"Hi!", My eyes widen as I hear a light voice ring beside me. I turn slightly to see a ginger girl with a pink ombré tied into twin tails. She's smiling widely. "I'm Yume Nijino!"

Dream Raindow (Translation) , huh? Weird name but I won't judge. It might not hurt to talk to a potential friend.

"Rola Sakuraba.", I give her a warm smile. Yes, all according to the plan. Chin up, shoulders back, warm smile and kind and gentle eyes.

She blushes ever so slightly and avoids my gaze by looking at the floor. "I like your pink curls.", she mumbles, loud enough for me to hear.

Yes. She's going for it. She's interested in me. I got her in my trap now and she can not escape. "And your hair is unique and beautiful.", I have a feel of her twin tails. I'm not lying; She has soft and beautiful and eye-catching hair. It's like she stands apart from the class. In a good way; of course.

I realize I have been touching her hair for way too long. I'm kind of wondering who trapped who in that moment.

I look to see her reaction.

Red.

Knew it.

Smirking to myself, I laugh gently. Her reaction was priceless; Reddened cheeks that yelled crushing, Shy trembling in her hands, stiff and tensed shoulders and her eyes avoiding me at every oppurtunity she had to look away from me. Adorable. She's as weak as the other pupils at this school.

"Don't laugh.", She pouts, turning away and swatting my hand away, "What's funny Anyways?"

I seize the chance to tease, "Your cuteness."

Her eyebrows furrow at this, clearly annoyed. "Don't call me that," She groans; I sigh at this. "You're the cute one.", She brushes several strands from her face and ear.

I silently growl at her inaudibly because of her teasing. She's not that good at it.

"Yume!", A girl from beside me calls.

She smiles widely at them, "Oh Koharu! One second!" After her small talk, she gives me one glance.

"I'll see you around, Rola-Chan." , She grins and winks. She walks off with her friends.

Just you watch, Yume. You'll be kneeling before me in no time! I'll totally surpass you!
