I observe him, sitting across the classroom, having an awfully loud and annoying conversation with his fellow delinquent friends. I stare at him cautiously, hiding my face behind a math book.

"What is it with this guy that makes me want to know more?" I ask myself, even though I am unsure of the answer. I continue to watch him, his rampant actions, his obnoxious voice, it pisses me off, this guy, he aggravates me so much that I want to just stand up and punch him and yet there's also this other feeling inside me, I'm not sure what it is, but that's not important anymore, besides, I doubt that a delinquent like him would bother being friends with a quiet person like me.

Suddenly an outburst of laughter is heard from him. "Damn, he laughs like a moron." I think to myself, slightly irritated, to be completely honest, this person is probably the most irritating man I've ever seen… Well I guess there's nothing I can do since he is in the same class as I am, which is rather unfortunate,

Life's a bitch…


"Hey Izaya!" was what I heard, as I was walking in the hallway while reading a book, I turn around and see him. Shinra Kishitani, I've met him before, if I can recall clearly, I think he was this odd guy that socialized with me during the start of school orientation, he's a strange kid…

"Hey!" I yell back, as I stopped walking and stare at the approaching Shinra.

"So, how do you think of this school so far?" He asks with an excited expression on his face.

"I—Well, I find it good so far.." I reply to him.

"Why are you walking alone? Haven't you found any friends yet?" He asks, such a straightforward question that is.

I then motion my head into a No.

"Well if that's the case then I have someone I want to introduce to you, We've been friends since gradeschool and I bet you'd be great friends with him too!" He says cheerfully.

I don't really get where this is going but I'd refuse, I'd rather be alone anyway, I'm happy just as long as I get to observe humans in peace.

"No thanks, I'm fine with this, really." I say

"Oh don't be ridiculous!" He says, then the next thing I know, he's grabbing my hand and pulling me somewhere.

"Don't worry, It'll be fine." He tells me, as he continues to walk towards the stairs…

I then let him pull me since struggling is pointless and would be somehow immature of me, besides, he'll only introduce me to one of his friends, right? No harm can be done by that.

Moments later, we reach the rooftop, the door slightly opened and Shinra then lets go of my hand and motions me to enter with him.

"Come on, he's an awesome guy, you'll be great friends with him!" He says, and those words, they echoe in my head, I suddenly got a bad feeling about this introduction...

I then enter even though I was hesitant, "Well, here goes nothing." I think to myself, besides, No harm can be caused by this meeting, right? I repeat to myself.

As I enter, I see a tall blonde teenage boy standing alone in the abandoned rooftop.

"Hey, Shizuo! I've got someone I want to introduce to you." Shinra says as he approaches the boy.

The blonde boy then turns around and suddenly I froze, at that moment, my body stopped functioning for a moment. "I recognize him." Was the sentence that went in my head.

"Ugh, can't you see I'm contemplating over here." Shizuo says, in an aggravated tone, he seems quite pissed today, or I guess that's just how his personality is, if I'm not mistaken.

"Ah, Well a few moments won't really be much of a bother now!" Shinra says, he then proceeds to the introductions.

"Shizuo, He's Izaya Orihara, he just transferred here at Raira! He doesn't have friends yet, and I figured you guys would be great friends!" Shinra says enthusiastically.

"Hi, I'm Izaya, Pleased to make you my acquaintance." I tell Shizuo as I bow.

"Tch, You piss me off." Shizuo says. I then suddenly feel slightly angered by his statement, "What did I ever do to you? You prick." Is what I wanted to say but since I know that I must handle these kind of matters maturely, I chose not to speak, although, I might seem like a coward, atleast I don't act on impulse.

"Now, Now, Shizuo, Izaya's just new here and besides, he hasn't even done anything to you." Shinra says to Shizuo, Worry, obvious on his face.

"He reminds me of a flea, I don't like fleas." Is what he says, I then felt myself snap and pulled out my pocket knife and pointed it towards him.

"What did you just call me?" I threaten him.

"Woah! Izaya, no need to use weapons now, let's all just calm down and st-" Shinra was then Interrupted by an awakened demon.

"Pft, are you deaf? I said you're a flea, now scram and find someone else to leach on, you damned parasite." Shizuo says, with an agitated grin on his face that is somehow creepy (and sexy?)

"Hah, you're an ignorant boy then." I say as I press my knife closer to his neck.

"No, you guys, just stop, okay, nothing good is gonna result from this, so let's just settle things down, calmly." Shinra says as he nervously pulls me and Shizuo away from each other.

We then agreed to Shinra by calming down and ignoring each other.

"Oh man." Is the only thing that Shinra can say, we all then stayed in silence for a few seconds until I decided that it's better if I just leave.

"I'm going now." Is all I say, slightly irritated at what just happened.


"I honestly did not expect for something this exciting to happen here at my stay in Raira, I'm rather ecstatic for what's going to happen next, My first nemesis... Oh how much fun can this be?!" I think to myself as I walk home excitedly. "Finally, the day came where I am uncertain of what to expect of what tomorrow will bring to me..." I tell myself, as I watch the sun setting...
