Aoi Nagisa, Average Cutie...Or More?

Chapter 1: I eat girls like chocolate sundaes

"Etoile-sama!"

"Look its Etoile-sama!"

"Oooo she's so HOT!"

Everyday Shizuma hears the same crap from the girls in Astrea Hill. She is constantly praised, and she constantly attracts attention as if she was an alien to them. Wow you'd think I'm use to it by now but all these girls see is what they think I am.

Shizuma had learned to take advantage of some of her 'fangirls' to satisfy her pleasures at least 3 times a day. She thought it was funny how they succumbed to her slightest touch. But no touch or kiss felt real to her. The girl she loved, Kaori, had died the previous year. School didn't seem as fun as it used to be before she gained this title 'Etoile' and before she lost her Kaori.

"Shizuma?!" Shizuma heard a distant cry and instantly recognized the voice of her best friend Miyuki. Shit, thought Shizuma, Miyuki is probably looking for me to lecture me on skipping the lunch meeting. I'll just hide behind this tree... Shizuma couldn't help but giggle at her friend's frustrated state. "Shizuma, I can see you hair behind the tree!" Shizuma found herself face to face with Miyuki. Great, just great.

"Miyuki? You seem upset. Are you okay? Maybe you should relax..." heehee yell at me if you want Miyuki, but I'll just ignore as always, unfortunately

"Shizuma, stop smiling! You leave me with all your duties and it's getting too much for me!" Shizuma looked away from her friend and tried to tune out the lecture she knew was coming. Miyuki, noticing her friend's obvious gesture, told her something she didn't expect. "Look, I'll let you off the hook but that's only because I actually have an order from headmistress, Sister Hamazaka. She immediately requests our presence in her office."

Shizuma let out an irritated sigh. She couldn't ignore a request from the headmistress because she had to do at least one duty or two, so Sister thought she was responsible. "Fine, but it better not take too long, I have some hunting to do later," she teased at her friend. Miyuki simply rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a chuckle at her friend's nature. "Honestly, I don't even know what to say to you anymore." With that they head off to see what the Sister had in store for them.

It was 10 am the next day and Shizuma sat on the stone steps at the front of Miator with Miyuki, prepared to welcome the new transfer student who should have been here half an hour ago. Miyuki sighed and looked at her watch. How much longer, winced Shizuma. I don't mind the opportunity to miss class but grrrr I'm so bored. "Impatient," teased Miyuki. Shizuma smirked, "um Miyukiiiiii?" Shizuma sang her voice. "What? What do you want?" Miyuki seemed a little afraid of her friend's tone of voice. "Can I please go to the potty?" "Potty? Sheesh how old are you, like 2? Just hold it in, she'll be here soon." Damn it! If she let me go I could have escaped to the greenhouse for some tea or I could have found myself some vulnerable prey skipping classes.

Suddenly a black car pulled in and Shizuma's mind drifted back to the present away from her future prey.

"Remember what Sister said, Shizuma. Be nice."

"Yeah, Yeah" Shizuma was actually a little interested to meet this new transfer student to Miator. Sister had said that the girl was a special student who should be treated with respect and taken good care of. I wonder why this girl is so special. Hmmmm maybe she belongs to a rich family. But most of the girls here are from well off families, and we all are treated equally...

As the car door opened, Shizuma found herself face to face with a girl who had a cute grin on her own cute face with a little turtle backpack on and blue jeans with a purple tanktop. She had her hair up in a messy ponytail and was wearing black flip flops. Shizuma gave the girl a polite smile. She was cute. Okay, she was REALLY cute. And the little stuffed turtle on her back was too adorable. Another cute girl to add to my list of prey.

"I am student council president Rokujo Miyuki. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The younger girl just grinned at wider at Miyuki "The pleasure is all mine, Miyuki-chan!"

Shizuma couldn't help but notice how cute the girl's voice was too. Also she smirked at the girl's usage of Miyuki's first name. Wait, she called Miyuki so affectionately! They know each other? Surprisingly Miyuki smiled back and laughed out loud. What the...

"Nagisa, it's been a while!" Miyuki knows this girl? Whaaaaa? Why didn't she tell me that?

"Hai! It's nice to see you again though Miyuki-chan!" This Nagisa girl looked at Shizuma who was standing next to Miyuki still confused over what was going on. Of course Shizuma didn't show this, because she could maintain her grace though all situations. "Ano, are you the Sister? You look very young, Sister-sama!" The Nagisa girl bowed at Shizuma and stared at her grinning happily away.

There was along pause. After what felt like a very long time Shizuma still couldn't believe she was being mistaken for the Sister.

Miyuki started to laugh uncontrollably with her hand over her mouth and she clutched her stomach with the other to ease the abdominal pain of laughing too much.

"Nagisa, this is the Etoile Hanazono Shizuma-sama," said Miyuki between catching her breath. "I told you about the Etoile, right?"

The Nagisa girl seemed to be thinking really hard trying to collect her memory "Oh, is that the nun or something? Don't nuns were head covers, and aren't they old?"

Shizuma didn't know what to make of this girl. She couldn't be mad because the girl seemed to genuinely not know who she was. This made Shizuma smile. It's nice to have someone be normal around me for now. But I now that when she finds out who I am, she'll just be like all the other cute girls. "I'm sorry, but I am not a nun."

"Shizuma is the representative of the three schools. She-"

"Oh! That is what an Etoile is? ...cool." Nagisa looked at Shizuma with a blank face. Then all of a sudden she saw this Nagisa girl's face go red like a tomato.

"O! Um...Shizuma-san...gomen! I didn't mean that you were old like a nun! You looked very young that is why I was shocked..er..um.." The Nagisa girl was looking genuinely embarrassed.

"It's okay...Nagisa-san..." Shizuma was surprised the girl used her first name so easily and she responded using her name as well. Even thought she appears to know the respect an Etoile has, she sees me as another person.

All of a sudden Nagisa gasped. "We've just been standing here! I want to see my room now, Miyuki-chan." Nagisa gave Miyuki a pleading look that resembled a puppy and Miyuki nodded her head.

As the three of them walked towards Ichigo-sha Shizuma turned and questioned Miyuki and Nagisa "so, how do you two know each other?"

Nagisa smiled, "Miyuki-chan and I are neighbours for 7 years, and she used to babysit me in the summers, and tutor me and cook for me! She's like my sister!"

Shizuma noticed Miyuki blush at the compliment from Nagisa. Miyuki, it's nice to see you so happy. Why didn't I notice before that you were happy when you mentioned the new transfer student to me last week. "So Nagisa-san, do you-" Shizuma turned to talk to Nagisa but saw no one there, then she heard Miyuki's giggle and looked down on the floor. There near her feet was a face planted moaning Nagisa who stood up rubbing her head.

"Nagisa never changes, she's still the queen clutz!"

"Oi! Miyuki-chan! I haven't even been here an hour and you're already teasing me!"

"Well I have to make Nagisa feel like she's back home, right?"

Nagisa harrumphed at this comment and Shizuma smiled. Is this my best friend Miyuki? Smiling and teasing, completely stress-free?

"So, Nagisa-san" Shizuma found a tingly feeling in her stomach as she spoke Nagisa's name. "May I call you Nagisa-chan?" The way the name rolled of her tongue felt nice. It was a beautiful name after all.

"Of course, Shizuma-san." Nagisa seemed happy at Shizuma's question. "Now we're friends!"

Friends...I guess so. Why not? "Of course, Nagisa-chan."

They approached one of the brown wooden doors in the hallway to room number 6 on the second floor. As she looked at the door Shizuma noticed Nagisa smile with her teeth baring. She knocked on the door three times.

Shizuma was about to tell Nagisa that her roommate wouldn't be there because she is in class like every other girl, but stopped the words from coming out as she heard footsteps on the other side of the door pad their way up to open it. Huh? The door swung open and a pretty girl who Shizuma felt looked familiar stood there staring at Nagisa with a huge smile.

It was a matter of seconds before the girls were hugging each other and laughing. Shizuma just cocked her eyebrow elegantly (of course her every action had grace) and walked in the room after Miyuki and the other two girls closing the door quietly. So this girl seemed to know everyone but her...
