Chapter 1.
'April, May, June.'

Her feet were tapping on the pavement in haste. With each running step she took, the toast that hung from the clutches of her jaws would dangle. With one arm extended as she ran towards a giant door, she bashed it open; her gaze determined as her big, round, ocean-blue pupils roamed around her surroundings.

There she stood, panting and her hair a mess, the new student of the prestigious Blaze Academy. The young girl whose name was May Maple hurried across the hallway, ignoring the stares she got from the surrounding students who leaned against their lockers. She quickly gobbled up her toast, shoving it in her mouth and swallowing. Once that was done, she stepped towards the door to her classroom.

"I'M HERE!" She yelled, barging herself in.

The students glanced towards her, some stifling in their laughter. After a few minutes of staring, the classroom resumed their original positions, not seeming to care anymore. However, there was one certain student who didn't seem to care the most, suggesting he had better things to do than to look at some new student who wasn't worthy of his gazing emerald eyes.

The teacher pointed his finger to the back of the classroom, next to the window, gesturing her to take her seat over there and so she did. She was secluded, however, from the entire classroom. In front of her were a group of girls, surrounding a particular table. This made May curious about what they were surrounding in the first place but she felt like she shouldn't be poking her nose into other people's business. However much she wants to keep to herself, she couldn't help but overhear the multiple squeals coming from that group.

"Drew, you're so amazing, you know that?" A girl squealed from the front before being cut off by another squeal.

"Please go out with me!"

Great, another popular, stuck up man. Though May wasn't one to judge from appearances, she couldn't stand people like that. Time went by slowly in the classroom and finally when the teacher uttered a few words of silence, the class actually began. Not only that, but she could finally see the man who was being gawked at earlier.

…Not to mention, she could see why. He was gorgeous, at least from what she could see from the back of his head. His hair was a glistering, grassy shade of green giving a sense of freshness to her eyes from the dull, and everyday hair colour. She began pondering on dyeing her hair a funky colour, staring at the back of his head.

"Ms. Maple?" The teacher towered over her, staring down at her with his kind gaze.

"Hm?" She looked up before realising it was him. "OH! S-Sorry!" She giggled nervously, opening her book.

"Try not to turn into another blind girl after Drew, alright?" He whispered, winking and pointing towards the now named man she was shamelessly staring at earlier.

"I would never!" She blushed slightly at the thought.

The old man smiled, going back to his position in the front of the class. After some time, the bell rang, issuing the start of the next class. Everyone got up from their seats as did May. She always had trouble getting ready to leave because she usually takes out so much JUNK from her bag. She watched everyone leave while drastically trying to put everything back in. As Drew was walking out, he glanced over to her and smirked. Maybe he'll have some fun playing around with this girl.

He went over to her desk, taking some things and giving it to her in an orderly fashion. May looked up bashfully, calmly accepting her things from his hand.

"Thanks." She muttered, putting them in her bag. She was just about done before he ushered out her name which caused her to freeze on the spot.

"May, right?" He leaned on her desk.

"Erm… Yea…" She nodded after some thought, causing him to chuckle. "I have to get to class now, thanks for the help."

"Eh?" He twitched as she calmly walked past him, unfazed.

He watched her leave, scratching his head, baffled.

"She didn't… She didn't fall for me…" He muttered. "… EVERYONE falls for me."

He shrugged it off, thinking that maybe the sunlight wasn't hitting his face too well and so she didn't see the beautiful complexion of his face. He was the last to leave the classroom in the end, closing the door on his way out. He'll have to get her later.

After a couple more classes, it was just about lunch time. The hallway filled itself with crowds of students all rushing to eat. May wasn't in that crowd; she was already in the cafeteria, stuffing her face with all the food she could get. She wasn't one to stay chit-chatting to her non-existing friends in the school so she managed to get there first. After she was done with her food and content with her imaginary hunger meter, she slapped a book onto the table, opening it up and scribbling onto the blank A4 pages with her 2B pencil.

A tray was slammed onto the table as a figure sat next to her. She looked at the person and it was no other than Drew himself.

"Erm… Hi?" She questioned herself more than saying it to him.

"Hello, June." He picked up his head slightly, acknowledging her presence.

"… It's May." She sighed, going back to doodling.

"Watcha' drawing there?" He peered over her shoulder.

"Stuff." She said simply, handing him the book as he took it.

He flipped through the endless pages of drawings while eating his small amount of food that took May back. How could someone eat so little? She would never last a minute with just that.

"Your drawings are pretty… cheesy." He smirked, looking at her from the corner of his eye.

"Gee, thanks a lot." She rolled her eyes sarcastically, snatching the book back and stuffing it in her bag which she had brought with her.

"Where're you going, April?" He asked, watching her get up.

"I'm not going to sit here and be insulted like that, and it's MAY." She huffed, stomping away as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What got into her?" He shrugged, finishing his food up, getting up and leaving as well.
