I crumble into the wooden-chair behind the desk full of books, pens and stuff for the next class.

[ Hey,is everything alright? ] it's not my best friend's voice what I heard.

Oh well, better say...yes, it is my best friend, only it's not his real voice, but just a simple "pop" sound coming from my grey smartphone,held tightly on my left hand as I scroll quickly my thumb on the display.

[ .Couldn't be better that this. ] I hurry as I press the send touch-screen icon as if my life depends on it.

Well, let me start from the beginning.

My name's Kirino Ranmaru.

From today, I'll be attending RaimonHigh School, and for a series of unfortunate events,the teachers of this school decided to completely avoid reading the bottom-post-scriptum my parents cared to write on my enrollment form.

"He comes from the same school of Shindou Takuto. It would be nice if the kids were to end up in the same class this year too" they said,or well,something among the lines. And I'm pretty sure my best friend's ones were exactly alike,more or less.

So,being the smart,wise boy I am, when I woke up this morning, I entered my class sure to find my best friend's face among my new classmates, smiling to me from one of the desks as to give me a good morning.

But instead-

First row: none,must be the wrong one.

Second row: wrong again.

By the sixth I realized I was alone with a bunch of strangers.

[ Come on…don't be like that. ]

Another "pop" snaps me from my thoughts.

[ Easy for you to say. You always get along well with your classmates due to your grades and even girls seems to like you pretty fast, coming after you as a flock-] and I chose the word on purpose [-of sheeps. I'm pretty sure you don't even have to think about your lunch with them around. ]

I press "send" and I'm sure I can hear my best friend's laugh even if we are parted by walls and all.

I know him too well. Pretty sure now he's gonna deny the obvious with a smile on his face.

[ Don't overstate it. Last year you won over lots of hearts ] indeed,end of proof.

I stare at the clock on my display: still five minutes until the first lesson. I hurry and reply to Shindou

[ They were boys. Boys who mistook me as a girl.] waiting for his answer, I start to tap absently on the screen with my left thumb. Texting with Shindou is the only thing that helps me to keep away from my mind all the noise my new classmates are doing, along with the stress of being left without any friend to talk with."Pop" the small sound makes me flinch.

I stare down at my phone, browsing the new incoming message.

[ Must be pretty cute to be mistaken as a girl. ]

I blink once,twice, three times, astonished. What. I'm all in for a pissed off reply demanding for explanations when I notice the sender's IP it's different from the one of my best friend.

Let me explain to you: Shindou and I, we're not really texting by using our usual text messages application.

Among the kids of my age, it's become famous an application called "InaPop!" –don't ask me for the meaning,cause I don't know- which is basically from where the notification sound comes from. Anyway, it's kind of a twitter thing, you use you internet wi-fi connection and all, the only difference is you can write more than just a few words. What makes it different from other apps like Line or Kakao Talk, is that you have to choose numbers to identify you since words are not allowed for whatever reasons for nicknames. So when you want to send someone a message,you have to write your addressee's numbers on the subject.

Lots of people seems to like it more than twitter and such thanks to the editable interface, the fast photo-loading service and the fact that you can talk only if the other one is connected to the same wi-fi you are. That helps keeping strangers away and parents feel safe for their kids. By this time,anyway, I kinda regret using it.

I'm sure I deleted a number or two from Shindou's IP when I sent the last reply and- here I am,with an anonymous message making fun of me. Wonderful, I mutter to myself.

Another "pop" and this time is Shindou's IP.

[ Kirino?]

Of course, he didn't receive my last reply.

[Sorry, I sent the message to a wrong number before by mistake. Anyway, I think I've heard teacher's voice near the classroom, afternoon at your house after school?] just when I finish to press "send" the thought comes to my mind.

That "InaPop" app can send messages only to a delimited range due to the need of having the same wi-fi connection (that's a pain in the ass,since I can't use it at home) and right now I'm using the school free one.

I start to panic. I look up at my classmates: most of them are speaking in a loud tone while the remaining ones are busy with the phone, just like me. Damn, can be everyone! Maybe one of my classmates, or one of the seniors or….or even a stranger passing by the school gate tapping the school connection.

"Pop" I look back at the now lighted screen.

[ Hope you didn't get angry at my words, I wans't making fun of you. ]

Fine, I tick off my last thought. Can't be a simple walker out there. So,must be someone in the school and…that makes me kinda nervous. After a while, I decide that, whoever he/she is, at least I own him –or her- an answer, since he/she has nice manners at least.

[ Sorry, I got the wrong number,my fault. ] I allow myself just few words, trying to end the chat as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Shindou agreed to the afterschool together.

Great, my best friend, his couch –it's so comfy!- and a completely relaxing afternoon it's what I need right now, I think while another notice shows up on my phone.

[ Wasn't a bother at all,Ranmaru. ]

I read my name and the base of my neck prickles.

I look up at my classmates,but,again, no clue of who can be. Tch. I bite my under-lip nervously as I stare at the message not knowing what to do. In the end, I click the little cross on the top-left of the screen and disconnect from the app.

Yes, I'm a coward, but I don't want to relate to who's possible a stalker.

And besides, it's my first day here, maybe it's just a stupid senior's joke. Maybe he/she knows my name thanks to some teacher or classmates we share. Better forget about all of this.

As the bell rang,everyone is sent back to their seats.

I put away my phone, take the attitude of the perfect student and wait as the teacher enters the room after awhile.

A small,sharped-eyes woman with large simple thick glasses made her appearance. Her dark-brown hair are tied in a high ponytail behind her head and the ticking of her black heels matched perfectly with the soldier-like pace she use to frighten us (it's working for me,at least).

She must be fourty or so years old, I think, while the noise of the door slammed against the wall makes me jump in my seat –gladly I'm not the only one that got scared- forcing myself to look a the figure laying against the jamb of the door.

Dark hair, cool amber eyes holding a steady gaze forward and a smile that spells trouble.

"Oh, everyone but him…!" I mutter to myself and I feel the heat drain from my body.

"Tsurugi-kun," teacher's voice sounds grumpy -"This is your first day of school and you're already late by five minutes." I'm sure she was the first one being late,but I shut up and let it go as everyone in the class. Besides, that only means Tsurugi is even more than just 5-minutes late.

"Ops. Didn't know you were already in miss, or I would have played hooky the first hour." a deep,mocking voice that makes all the girls behind my seat chuckles. Along with the look, he has the attitude of the perfect bad boy every girl around my age dreams about.

I look how Tsurugi let his gaze lay on them for a bit, amused, before it shifts it on me. He opens wide his catlike eyes, surprised.

"Hey candyfloss!"

Everyone laughs.

Why? Why out of everyone, him?!

Being the worst neighbour boy ever wasn't enough for him?! Of course not. He entered the room, gave me one of his stupid nicknames with his stupid teasing voice and made my first day of high school the worst in history.

First day of high school.

Can I log out of my life?

Yes, this is a Kirino x Tsurugi fiction,cause...I don't know, I like this couple? Tsurugi has the same attitude of the first episodes of Go because...I find bad boys attractive? lol.
Sorry if I didn't upload anything Shin x Akane, I'll be sure to write something for them too.

Thanks to everyone that read and reviews. Of course, reviews are well accepted, they makes my blush and all,hehe.
