I OWN NOTHG BUT MY OC ROSE.

Chapter 1: New girl

"Why do I have to have a new roommate? Yori hasn't even been gone a week!" Yuki slammed her hands on the headmasters' desk in anger. Still upset that her best friend had to leave to take care of her dying mother.

"Yuki I know you're upset, but I think you'll like your new roommate. She's really sweet and shy!" the headmaster tries to calm his 'darling daughter' down. Zero shows indifference (as always).

"Who the hell transfers schools in the middle of the year?" Zero says from his place leaning against the wall in the headmasters' office. "Zero, sometimes they don't have a choice." The headmaster gazes at his desk in thought. "What the hell does that-.." Zero is interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Oh good, she made it." The headmaster stands from his desk. "Come in." The door opens to reveal a 16-year old girl. She is about 5 feet tall and has a very slim body with light brown hair that hangs about 2 inches below her shoulders and brown eyes with pale skin. She wore a cream colored long- sleeved shirt with a light grey jacket and pants. Over all, she looks like a normal girl.

"Um… is this a good time?" the girl stands inside the office near the door. "Oh its fine please come in!" the headmaster beckons her inside. "Zero, Yuki, meet our new transfer student. Please introduce yourself." The girl comes forward. "Um Hi, my names Rose Rivers. Nice to meet you." Rose bows slightly, almost like she's afraid to.

"Nice to meet you." Yuki bows back. "I'm leaving." Zero leaves his place on the wall and passes Rose on his way out, while he does Zero notices a small bruise on the side of her neck. What happened? And more importantly, why does she seem so scared?
