Introduction
Izumi was a sixteen year old Japanese boy who lived in Japan. He had a natural beauty that made him stand out from other normal Japanese boys, but there was also one other reason why he stood out. Since when he was born, he had something different from all other people. Even though he was different since the start, his parents only realized this difference a few years later. Izumi was different and had to live his life a little different from the normal people. He had to be home schooled since early in his life and his parents also tried to keep him away from the outside world, so he rarely got out of the house. All this cautions, had a reason. The reason was that Izumi had powers, powers that could destroy, but at the same time, be used for good causes.
On Izumi's sixteenth birthday, Izumi had only one wish in mind, to go to school just like a normal sixteen teenager boy. When his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday present, he replied exactly what he wanted, and his parents became very surprised. They thought that it was an absurd, but Dr. Paul, Izumi's tutor who knew about everything talked to Izumi's parents after the party and convinced them that it would be a good chance to let Izumi see the outside world. Izumi had never been around people except for his parents, Dr. Paul and some of the workers at the mansion, so the question is, "Is he going to be fine at school?" or "How is he going to react with other people?"
Mizuki
Mizuki and her friend, Jessica, were looking at the wall where the list of all the classrooms were listed.
"Awww! We are not in the same class!" Jessica complained.
"At least the classrooms are next to each other." Mizuki said trying to cheer her friend up.
"But it's not the same thing…"

"That's the bell, we better hurry or we are going to be late for our first day!" Mizuki said while running towards her homeroom classroom.
"Wait for me!" Jessica yelled and then started running behind Mizuki.
2-A Class
"Good morning class." Mizuno sensei called when she entered the classroom.
"Good morning!!!" the whole classroom replied.
"I would like to introduce the new student to you, please come in, Izumi." The teacher said and then looked at the door.
Mizuki who was in the 2-A classroom looked at the door with curiosity. When Izumi entered the classroom everyone's jaw dropped open.
'He's so beautiful, he should be in a magazine and not at a normal school, like this.' Ami, Mizuki's classmate thought.
"I'm Izumi. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." The new boy said while standing in front of the classroom.
"Izumi, please take a seat over there." Mizuno sensei said while pointing to the empty desk next to Mizuki.
'Oh my god, he's sitting next to me!' thought Mizuki.
--- ring ---
'Homeroom is over, now it's math…' thought Mizuki while standing up. When she stood up, she accidentally dropped her textbook, she looked down to where her textbook had fallen and saw Izumi reaching for it. His hair on his face but when he stood up again, it was all perfect again.
"Here you go." He said quietly while handing Mizuki her textbook.
"T-thank you" Mizuki replied when she had recovered from the shock.
Izumi nodded and headed out of the classroom.
'How could I? How could I shake my voice!!! I should have looked ridiculous!'Mizuki thought, then she looked down at the math textbook which she was now holding.
'He's so…different" Mizuki thought while leaving the classroom.
She headed to math by herself since Jessica was in the other class and had a slightly different schedule. Mizuki had Curtis sensei as her teacher for math. He wasn't Japanese but he spoke Japanese very fluently and taught at the Japanese school.
"Good morning, Mizuki." Curtis sensei said when he saw Mizuki.
"Good morning!" Mizuki replied happily.
"How was your summer?" Curtis sensei asked Mizuki.
"It was fun, I had a lot of time to rest. How was your vacation?"
"I had too, a lot of time to rest and had some fun with my son and daughter." Curtis sensei replied happily.
"Aww! How are they?" Mizuki asked.
"They are fine. We should go somewhere sometime so you can meet them"
"I want to do that!" Mizuki said happily. Curtis sensei could always make her happy and she could talk about anything with him.
"I better sit down now" Mizuki said.
"Oh wait!" Curtis sensei called Mizuki.
Mizuki turned to look at her sensei.
"Um, I think you already saw the new student but maybe you didn't have the chance to meet him yet and since I think you are friendly with everyone, I thought that it would be good to have you sitting next to him. I hope you don't mind." Curtis sensei explained to Mizuki.
"Um…I guess I have to follow my teacher's orders, don't I?"
"See it as a favor…"
"Ok, then"
"Thanks, Mizuki"
"It's alright"
Curtis sensei taught the 2-A class, Science, Social Studies, and Math, so the students passed almost the whole day in Curtis sensei's classroom.
"Good morning class." Curtis sensei said when everyone was there.
"Good morning!" the class replied.
Izumi was sitting on the other side of the class from Mizuki. He wouldn't look at her, who was staring at him without stopping.
"Now, I'm going to assign your seats." Curtis sensei told the class.
"Mizuki and Izumi, you two are partners and you are going to be sitting on the middle role." Curtis sensei told them and then started calling other names and assigning their seats. While Curtis sensei did that Mizuki and Izumi started talking.
"Hey, again" Mizuki said shyly.
"Hey" Izumi replied not looking at her.
"what school were you in before you came here?" Mizuki asked.
"Umm, I was home schooled my whole life." Izumi replied still not looking at her.
"Oh, really? And how was it?"
"Ok"
"Then, why did you stop?" Mizuki asked.
"Well, because I wanted to live my life as a normal sixteen year old boy." Izumi replied and then finally looked at Mizuki. "Done asking questions?" Izumi asked.
Mizuki blushed and nodded. For the rest of math class she didn't dare to talk nor look at Izumi. When class ended she was glad, she could clearly see that Izumi didn't want anything with her and that her questions truly annoyed him.
At lunch, she met Jessica at the cafeteria line and went behind her friend.
"Hey, Jess." Mizuki said when she met Jessica.
"Hey! How was class?" Jessica asked with a wide smile.
The flashback went through Mizuki's head and once again she became embarrassed.
"Mizuki? Are you ok? Did something happen during class?" Jessica asked truly worried about her friend.
"Um….Can I explain it to you when we sit down?" Mizuki asked looking at the floor.
"Yeah, it's fine." Jessica replied becoming very worried about her friend.
They waited in line until they got their lunch and headed to their usual table. When they sat Jessica immediately asked "Um, Mizuki, now, can you tell me what happened?"
Mizuki looked at the table and nodded.
"It's just that in math class, Mr. Curtis putted me next to the new boy, and"
"New boy? There's a new boy in YOUR class? I heard that there was a new boy in one of the second year classes but I never imagined that it would be in your class!"
Jessica then looked at Mizuki and said "Gomen ne Mizuki? I interrupted you…"
"It's alright. And how I was saying, Mr. Curtis assigned me a seat which is next to Izumi, the new boy. I was trying to be friendly to him and asked him about his life and he got mad and I could feel that he was annoyed by my questions.
"It's ok, Mizuki. I'm sure he was just a little nervous about the first day of school." Jessica assured her friend.
"I hope so, but anyways, I won't talk to him anymore, I mean like...NEVER"
"Mizuki…come on he was just a little nervous and you got the wrong impression of him."
"Well, I think it's time to go to the next class…" Mizuki tried to change the subject and fortunately for her, she was successful.
"Oh my god! My next class is at the other building! I really have to go now!" Jessica said panicking.
When Jessica left the cafeteria, Mizuki stood up and calmly walked to her Science class, her next class was at the same building as the cafeteria and even if she walked rapidly towards the classroom, she would possibly still be some minutes early for class. When Mizuki went pass the library, someone called her name. When she turned, she saw one of her classmates.
"Hey, Shun!" Mizuki said when she saw her classmate.
"Hey, Mizuki chan" Shun said.
"Are you going to Science?" Mizuki asked.
"Yup, you?"
Mizuki nodded and they walked side by side to Science class.
"It's been a while, hasn't it? How was summer?" Shun asked Mizuki.
"It was fun. I didn't travel because of lack of money but still, I had a lot of fun to rest. How was your summer?"
"I went to camp. It was fun, I go to that camp since when I was little."
"Well, it was good talking to you." Mizuki said when they reached Curtis sensei's classroom and Mizuki took her seat next to the new boy.
"See yah, Mizuki. It was fun talking to you" Shun said and also headed to his seat.
Izumi was already at his seat. He was serious just like before in Math class, and Mizuki, this time, didn't try to start a conversation with him. Science was one of Mizuki's least favorite subjects, she always had low grades on the science labs and tests. She hated science.
"Now class, science is finished for today. Please remember to do your homework." Curtis sensei said and the bell rang.
"Mizuki, want me to walk you home?" Shun asked when he got to Mizuki's and Izumi's table.
"Oh, sorry Shun. I have to go meet Jessica this afternoon, maybe another time." Mizuki said.
"Oh ok then, I will walk you to where you are meeting Jessica, if that's ok." Shun said.
"Sure, let's go."
When they left the classroom, Shun asked Mizuki in a whisper, "The guy who sits beside you is Izumi, the new boy, right?"
"Yup"
"When I asked you if you wanted me to walk you home, he looked at me with a really scary face…as if he wanted me to stay away from you." Shun told Mizuki trying to imitate Izumi's scary face.
"Don't mind him, for what I learned today, he likes to stay away from everyone."
"Well, we are here." Shun said when they got to where Mizuki and Jessica were supposed to meet.
"Ok, thanks."
"See you tomorrow!" Shun said as he ran to catch the school bus.
"See yah!"
"Hey Mizuki!" Jessica said when she approached Mizuki.
"Hey Jess."
"Who was that boy?" Jessica asked while looking at the direction which Shun had headed.
"His name is Shun. He's in the same class as me."
"Oh, he's kinda cute"
"Yup, but he's only a friend, Jess."
"Fine. Oh look, isn't that the Izumi guy?" Jessica asked while looking at one direction. Mizuki looked at the direction which Jessica was looking and saw Izumi walking towards them. He caught Mizuki's arm and said "Come with" and then started walking to a direction. Mizuki was really surprised for a moment but when she recovered she got really mad at him.
"Let me go! Where are you taking me?" Mizuki screamed madly.
"Be quiet!" he said with a harsh voice. He didn't look at Mizuki, he just faced forward to the direction where they were heading.
'Wait! What's going on here? Why is he taking me somewhere? And where the heck is he taking me?' Mizuki thought while being led by Izumi.
Izumi suddenly let Mizuki's arm go. Mizuki looked around her and saw that she wasn't on school grounds. Mizuki was in a beautiful place, there was green everywhere and there was also a river, which had fishes swimming in it.
"Who's that guy from earlier?" Izumi asked while facing the river.
Mizuki, who was looking around stopped to answer Izumi's question.
"It has nothing to do with you." Mizuki replied.
"It does!" Izumi had now turned around and had a really angry expression.
Mizuki slapped Izumi across the face, Izumi couldn't believe what she had just done.
"Are you relaxed now?" Mizuki asked with a kind voice.
"Yes" Izumi replied looking down.
"Why were you so mad?" Mizuki asked still with a kind voice.
Izumi took a deep breath.
'Should I tell her?' Izumi asked himself.
"As I already told you, I was home schooled my whole life, and I'm not used to being around people…" Izumi told her looking down.
"And?"
"Do you like that guy?" Izumi finally asked.
"Yup, we are childhood friends." Mizuki replied.
"He doesn't see you that way…" Izumi told Mizuki.
"Maybe…but I don't care because he's a great friend."
Izumi's face became red as soon as Mizuki said that.
"Well, I have to go…see you tomorrow!" Mizuki said and left for her house.
Izumi watched her as she left the place.
'Why did I take her here? And why did I ask her about that guy?' Izumi asked himself.
The next day…
"Hey Mizuki!" Jessica called her friend.
"Hey Jess."
"So, what happened yesterday, huh? Where did that Izumi guy take you?"
"Oh that…he just asked me about something about homework…" Mizuki lied.
"But then, why didn't he just ask in front of me?"
"Because, it was an easy problem and he didn't want to look stupid in front of everyone…" Mizuki lied once again.
"Are you sure, that was it?" Jessica insisted.
Mizuki nodded.
"Well, then I better get going." Jessica said and left for her next class.
"See you at lunch!" Mizuki called.
Mizuki was walking through the hallway when she passed Izumi. She saw him, but acted as if she didn't, she didn't want to remember what had happened yesterday because WHAT had happened yesterday, anyways?
"Hey Mizuki chan!" someone called.
Mizuki turned and saw Shun.
"Hey Shun" Mizuki replied.
"So, how was your time with Jessica, yesterday?" Shun asked.
"Um-Um, I um,"
"Did you even meet her?" Shun asked.
"I did, but then this guy took me somewhere." Mizuki replied.
"Who?"
"Izumi…" Mizuki replied quietly.
"Izumi? You mean the new boy? What did HE want with you?" Shun asked with a slightly angry voice.
"Hum, he just needed to ask me something…" Mizuki replied.
Mizuki and Shun entered English class which Ms. Todd taught. She was the most strict teacher in the whole world!
"Good morning class." Ms. Todd said when class started.
"Good morning" the class replied with a bored voice.
"Well, since I don't want any problems with sitting charts, I will let you sit wherever you want with the condition that you will not chat during my class."
Everyone smiled, 'Maybe she isn't that bad…' Mizuki thought to herself.
"I know that you all have different interests, so I want you to write about your interest. I still don't have the exact date for when it will be due, but please be working on this assignment during the week. Any questions?"
A boy in the back row rose his hands and Ms. Todd called on him.
"Yes?"
"How long should this essay be?"
"Well, in my class, some of the assignments will have a limit and in some, length will count, but on this one, I want you to have fun and try doing your best." Ms. Todd replied.
The boy nodded in understand and class continued until lunch. Shun sat besides Mizuki and was her partner for most of the exercises. During lunch, Jessica and Mizuki sat together and talked about the weekend. After lunch, Mizuki had Social Studies with Mr. Curtis, she sat next to her "partner", Izumi. He was quiet and he seemed to be avoiding talking to her. The day was already finished and Mizuki was glad that it was time to go home and relax over the weekend.
