Flashback

Rin sat quietly under a tree sobbing; she had been picked on again by a group of boys because of her sharp teeth. She couldn't help it she was just born with them; but it didn't stop people calling her a freak. Every day they threw more mean names at her; today they had been particularly cruel and pushed her over into the dirt causing her to scrape her knees.

"Hey why are you up here all alone?" a blunt yet curious voice asked from in front of her. The magenta haired girl looked up to see a pretty blue haired girl with waist long hair looking at her. She had a blank expression but did seem concerned about her.

"My...My teeth" Rin sniffed tearfully her tone angry. Why couldn't she be born with normal teeth like everyone else? Why did she have to have sharp scary teeth like a shark?

The girl knelt in front of her quietly "What about them?" she asked curiously. She didn't see anything wrong with her teeth; but then again her mouth was closed so she couldn't see them. However that only made her more curious as to why they would make their owner cry so much.

Rin clicked her teeth angrily then yelled "THEY AREN'T NORMAL! THEY'RE WIERD OK!" she snapped angrily. She was so sick of being called a freak and a monster; she never asked to have all canine like teeth. Why did people have to taunt her for something she was simply born with?

The blue haired girl simply blinked quietly and stared at the now bared teeth of the magenta haired girl. They were pretty sharp; kind of like a shark but they were so white and pretty. They would protect her from danger. But other than that they could cut through anything; any tool or annoying item she could just chomp through it.

She reached out and touched them gently; yes they were very pointy and sharp. But she had a feeling that the other girl wouldn't hurt her. She was a gentle beast; she only looked scary but was actually very kind. Her mother had always taught her never to judge a book by its cover; and she never broke a promise to her mother no matter what.

The magenta haired girl blushed as a complete stranger brushed against her teeth yet she allowed it. For years nobody except her family had ever shown an acceptance to her teeth; but now a complete stranger was touching them on a whim. It kind of made her feel happy inside.

The blue haired girl smiled "I'm jealous; you have such pretty white teeth. I bet that's why people pick on you coz their jealous" she said gently and smiled at her. All the boys around here got muddy and got into trouble because they got hurt; it wouldn't be surprising if they chipped their teeth too.

The magenta haired girl blushed harder and frowned "Don't be stupid; who'd be jealous of someone like me?" she muttered shyly. God this girl was weird; weird but very pretty. And her words made her feel better; they eased her angry bitterness inside and made her feel calm again.

"Well I know I am" the blue haired girl said gently. She had always been good at swimming but she got tired of hearing it; she would love to be praised for something else for once. She would give anything to be complimented on her eyes or her long hair for once; yes it sounded vain but it was better than hearing another conversation about her swimming skills.

This girl was so weird; she was complimenting her for having sharp teeth? But it was nice to have someone not tease her for once. She was so used to being teased she never thought anyone could be nice to her. "Hey..." Rin said quietly her tone hesitant. She wanted to know who this girl was; she wanted to thank her. But above all she wanted to get to know her better.

"Hmm?" the blue haired girl said cocking her head to the side quietly. This girl was very cute; somewhat stubborn but very cute indeed. She wondered what she would look like when she smiled.

Rin swallowed nervously "W...What's your name?" she stammered shyly her cheeks even more red than before. She wasn't used to talking to people unless they were family; everyone else simply teased her.

The blue haired girl blinked then said bluntly "Haruka; its Haruka Nanase" she said casually. She was used to being called Haru as a nickname by her friends but only her family called her Haruka. Whenever they tried she would frown and ignore them until they called her Haru; then she would talk to them again.

Rin hesitated and but her lip; she wanted to ask her if they could spend more time together. But what if she already had friends? What if they didn't like her and teased her too? She didn't want to cry anymore. She felt that Haruka was a nice girl; if not somewhat expressionless. However she felt like she could trust her and she was a nice girl. However she hoped she was right and didn't get hurt again.

Rin took a deep breath and buried her face into her knee's "H...Haru-chan; can I...that is...would it be ok if I could be your friend?" she asked hesitantly. She had never had a friend before; she only ever hung out with her sister Goh who was very loving towards her. She was tired of being alone and wanted someone to just ask her to play.

Haruka blinked quietly then raised her arm and poked Rin on the head quietly "As long as you stay the way you are; I don't like boring people" she said bluntly. While Makoto was a nice guy all he did was read or draw pictures; she didn't like sitting about too much and liked going exploring or walking. Sometimes she went on walks to the beach near her house; she wondered if Rin would like that too.

Rin wiped her eyes quietly but nodded; while what this girl said was strange it made her warm and fuzzy inside. However she didn't hate that feeling; she hadn't felt so comfortable and so happy around a person in a long time. Usually she would close up and avoid others; but she felt like she could tell Haruka anything without care or worry.

Haruka peered down and took one of Rin's hands; she always ate dumplings when she was sad. Her parents gave her some money to spend today and she didn't mind sharing with someone. She slowly got up pulling the magenta haired girl with her causing the other girl to cry out in shock.

"Oi where are we going?" Rin babbled nervously. While she had said she could be her friend; she didn't know her all that well. On top of that she wasn't used to affection from others; unless you counted family. Other than that she never really got close to anyone out of fear of being bullied.

Haru looked back at her quietly blinking "To get pork buns; I always eat them when I'm sad" she said bluntly. Pork buns were tasty and made you feel better when sad; her mum called them comfort food.

"But...But I don't have any money!" Rin stammered anxiously. She would feel bad if someone bought her something and she couldn't pay them back. She hated people who leeched off of others; it just wasn't right.

Haru smiled slightly "But Rin-chan; that's what friends do. They cheer them up when their down. Even if it means buying them snacks" she teased gently. She could see a blush forming on the other girls cheeks which she found adorable. She wanted to see more of her positive expressions rather than her sad face from earlier; she was cuter when she was.

Rin went quiet and was very touched by this; she had only just met the girl and had spontaneously asked her to be friends out of hope. She didn't expect the other to take her seriously. She allowed the other girl to pull her along but said nothing. She had never met someone so poker faced yet capable of such kindness. Her heart beat quickly in her chest and she felt so happy inside.

This girl was probably just being a good person but her words touched Rin's heart. Nobody had been so kind to her before. She had hoped for the day that she could have someone not call her names and make her cry; someone like Haru.

She bowed her head quietly blushing hard; this may have seemed weird but...she was starting to like Haruka. Not as just a friend but...in a romantic way. This was what people called "First love" wasn't it?

"So...Haruka-chan she must be...my first love" Rin thought quietly a small smile appearing on her face. She gripped Haruka's hand a little bit tighter but not enough for her to notice.

But Haruka wouldn't know; she didn't have to know. It could be her little secret and that was ok. She had never had a secret before; her secret love for Haruka Nanase.
