Rrrriiiiiiinnnnnnggggg… the school bell rang. And a mysterious girl with auburn hair and amber eyes walked through the halls. Dammit, I hate this place, she thought. She walked to the classroom, she saw everyone looking and whispering at her. After that, she heard laughing. She took a seat and looked at the window. She saw a small girl with her mom and dad. She clenched her fists. I hate you both… Mom… Dad… she thought.
Meanwhile, two high school boys went to the classroom same as the girl's. One of them was a redhead with amber eyes, his name was Mikoto Suoh. The other one is a boy with blond hair and brown eyes, his name is Izumo Kusanagi. The two went in together and took a seat. Izumo sat beside two girls talking to each other, while Mikoto sat beside the new girl. Mikoto looked at her, and then turned away.
Soon, their teacher came in and told her to introduce herself. When she stood up to go in front, someone tripped her. While everyone giggled, Mikoto stood up to help her, but she go up herself. Mikoto looked at Izumo who was raising an eyebrow at him and smiling, but Mikoto shrugged. "My name is Asuna Nomotakiji. I'm 16 years old. Please take care of me." She said in a low voice and bowed. "Loser…" someone coughed. Everyone laughed, except Mikoto.
During lunchtime, he saw Asuna eating alone. And when walking home, rain or shine, she was alone.
Days passed and up to now, Asuna has no friends. She still walks to or from school alone and eats lunch unaccompanied. Mikoto stares at her most of the time, especially during breaks.
"Mikoto, why don't you go talk to her?" Izumo would say.
"Talk to her yourself." Mikoto would answer and walk away.
The last school bell rang. Izumo, along with Totsuka, ran to Mikoto at the gate.
"Mikoto-saaannnn!" Totsuka shouted.
"Jeez. So loud." Mikoto said
"Hey Mikoto, want to go to the mall with us? It's going to be fun." Izumo said, smiling.
"You go ahead. I'm going home." Mikoto said.
"Suit yourself. See ya tomorrow!" Izumo said running off with Totsuka.
Mikoto walked home and it started raining. Dammit, he thought. But he also noticed that he wasn't the one walking home in the rain as well.
He saw Asuna walking in front of him. Her head down as usual. Mikoto stared at her for a while. Then he turned away. But something unexpected happened.
Asuna fainted.
Asuna woke up. She felt something hard on her head maybe because she was lying on the floor? She also felt something beside her. And she hugged it tightly. But then she heard snoring. She opened her eyes clearly, and then her face turned red.
She was lying down with Mikoto, on her bed.
"Gah! What the hell are you doing?!" she shouted as she kicked Mikoto off her bed.
Mikoto yawned "Is that the way you say thank you to the guy who saved your life?"
Asuna eyes widened. She remembered that she fainted on the side of the road. She stared at Mikoto. He carried her to her house.
"How did you know where I live?" she asked.
"ID." Mikoto said.
"Why did you "lay" down next to me?" she said.
"I was so tired and sleepy carrying you here, that's why. You're heavy, you know?" Mikoto said.
"What?" Asuna clenched her fists.
They were silent for a moment then Asuna broke the silence.
"Where are your friends?" she asked.
"What? What do you mean?" Mikoto said.
"You know, the blond haired kid, and the other one…" she said.
"Oh them? They went off somewhere…" Mikoto said.
"Why didn't you go with them?" she said.
"Don't want to. They're just probably gonna check out the girls, anyway…" Mikoto said.
"You already have friends… Why didn't you go?" she said.
"Did you hear what I just told you? Why are you so sensitive about these "friends" thing anyway?" Mikoto said.
Asuna flinched. She clenched her fists. Mikoto stood up and sat next to her.
"You live here alone?" he asked.
Asuna looked into his amber eyes. She blushed and turned away. "My parents left me since I was 10. I don't have any brothers or sisters… So yeah…"
Mikoto stared at her. Asuna stared back. It was still raining outside. Then thunder and lightning flashed. Asuna got scared and jumped. She fell onto Mikoto and they landed on top of each other. Asuna blushed and Mikoto did so too, a little. Asuna stood up "Sorry."
Mikoto stood up as well and walked to the door. "It's alright. Now that you're awake and alive, I'm going."
"Hey, it's still raining outside. You could get sick or something." She said.
"I'm Mikoto Suoh. I'm gonna be alright." He said.
"What?" she said as he saw him opened the door and left.
Asuna looked at him. Impulsive, she thought. But then she noticed, she was wearing Mikoto's jacket this whole time. He wrapped it around her when she passed out! She held it tightly and blushed.
