|Zak's POV|

I can't believe that mom is finally making me go to school. Something about needing friends, and learning responsibility. Dad had nothing against it either. "As long as you don't tell about the cryptids." He told me. Finally, today was the day. As soon as I got there, I was directed to the office.

The principal told me about expectations, and then I was given a class schedule. My first class was math, so I had someone guide me there. The teacher wasn't in the room, so everyone was talking and running around the room. Sitting next to me was a girl with short dark red hair, with 2 long, thick braids in the back. I couldn't tell what color her eyes were, she was sleeping.

She also had a strange thin, black box made out of the same material as a violin case. There were footsteps coming down the hall, fast and hard. Everyone ran to their seats and sat down. The teacher came in, staring everyone down. She sat in her chair for 5 seconds, then stood up. "Good morning.

Today we have two new students. Those two know who they are. Please stand up." I was the only one to stand up. The teacher scanned the room, and tossed a pen at the sleeping girl. She stood up rubbing her eye with her fist. The teacher scolded her, and she responded in a different language. "Miss Sairagi, I understand you are from Japan, but please do speak in English."

"Oh. Like the American accent?" I could have sworn she said something like 'damn Americans' under her breath. (How insulting!) "Please do let me explain what you are to do." She responded in Japanese again. The teacher cleared her throat. "You two, introduce yourself at the front." I went and told a little bit about myself, then the red-haired girl ran up, and stood on the desk.

|Heichan's POV|

I was given a schedule for classes in the office, and followed some kid that said his first class was math. I took a seat that said my name on it, and did what I normally did in Japan. Sleep. I woke up to a lady throwing a pen at my head. "Nani gaman shimasu sore, fujin? (What's up with that, lady?)" She started telling me that I should speak English. "Please do let me explain what you are to do." "Nano desu… (That is so.)"

"You two, introduce yourself at the front." The boy with black and white hair introduced himself first. (Weirdo) When he finished, I went to the front, and I sounded a bit weird, if I don't say so myself. I stood up on the desk and said, "I am Heichan Natsumi Koizumi Sairagi. I prefer to be called Natsumi, but otherwise, I am called Heichan. In English, Heichan means Maddison, and Natsumi means Summer."

I got down and ran back to my desk with a satisfied look. I spent the rest of the day in boredom, or at least it looked like it to everyone else. I really felt like I was being stalked by the black and white haired kid. We probably got the all the same classes by accident, but I feel like he's staring at me.

Ok here. This is the first chapter, only slightly revised. If you went back to read, then you would notice some changes. No, Heichan is not racist. If this is your first time reading, this is completely normal.
