Chapter 1 - My First School Day Part 1

(IA's thoughts are in parenthesis)

IA POV

Myoon.
Another morning.
But now was different.
I'm going to a new school.
By the way, has any of you been nervous about being a newcomer?
I hope I could make friends...
Checking my clock...
Oh no! I'm going to be late!
It's already 6:30 in the morning, and classes start at 7:00 am. Tying my hair in a ponytail, I was in a rush.
Well, you see, no one woke me up because I live alone. My mother works abroad, and my dad, well.. no comment.

Running outside the condo I live in towards the direction of the school, I go dashing off. Good thing my condo is near the school.
Since I'm new, I don't know where my class is.
Let's see... second year of middle school, class 3. Hmm. Where would that be?
While running, since I was looking for my class, I literally bumped into a girl.
She seems to be in my age.
Judging from her appearance, she's a huge fan of purple.
Girl: Owwie...
Me: S-s-sorry... (What a cute girl... I thought) I was in a hurry so I didn't notice you...
Girl: It's fine...
Me: Judging from your "owwie" earlier, I don't think so.
Girl: No, it's fine, really...
Me: (Such a nice girl!)
Girl2: Are you alright?
Me: (Another cute girl arrives!)
Girl1: Yeah, I'm fine, Suzune-chan, don't worry about me.
Me: I'm so sorry!
Girl2: If she says it's fine, it's fine. I'm Suzune. Ring Suzune. This girl over here is Yuzuki Yukari.
Me: I'm Aria. You can call me IA.
Yukari: SO, IA-chan, huh? You're a cute girl!
Me: No, I'm not...
Suzune: Don't say that! A boy would be in love with you and be head over heels!
Me: No... please don't flatter me like that...
Yukari: No, it's not flattery. You're such a pretty girl, with long dirty blonde hair annd a nice figure.
Suzune: Yeah, yeah!
Me: Umm... I'd like to ask you something...
Yukari: Hmm?
Me: Do you know where the classroom for second year of middle school, class 3 is?
Suzune: Yes, we know! Yukari is in that class. Want to come with us to go to the room?
Me: Sure, thanks!

Meeting new friends at the start of the school year. Literally at the start. I hope something good happens to me.
Suzune-san parted with us at the corridor, while Yukari-san and I entered the classroom. Good thing the teacher's not there yet.
Yukari-san and I sat together near the window. While Yukari-san was busy talking to our classmates, the teacher came in.
The teacher was a beautiful woman, and by the looks of it, very mature. Her long red hair was shiny, oh, am I so envious!
Teacher: My name is Furukawa Miki (Please see A/N). I hope to have a good year with everyone. How about starting with the class introductions?
After many introductions, Furukawa-sensei chose the class representative. I was suprised when she chose Yuzuki-san. She must be an intelligent and good girl.

*RIIIING*
The sound of the bell was so, deafening.
Yuzuki-san came over to me with two girls and introduced them to me.
Yukari: This girl over here with the eyeglasses is SeeU-chan, and this girl in with the red hair is CUL-chan.
SeeU: Nice to meet you. I'm Dahi SeeU. (See A/N)
CUL: I'm Culnoza. Please call me CUL for short.
Me: Nice to meet you. I'm...
SeeU: Aria-chan, right? I heard your introduction earlier. Such a cute girl with a calming voice.
Me: No, no, I'm not like that... Um... please, call me IA.
CUL: IA, huh? Nice nickname. Aria's a nice name too. Where'd your parents get it?
Me: I'm not sure but.. I remember my mother said that ARIA means 'air', and that mother got it from her name. Her name's Lia (See A/N)
CUL: Quite a nice name indeed! But isn't Air an anime?
SeeU: CUL-chan, you watch too much anime.
CUL: Oh, well. I have to go by Onii-sama's room today. I'm going to get mt snacks from him. SeeU, can you come with me?
SeeU: Sure! Well then, excuse us for a while.

After waving goodbye to SeeU-san and CUL-san, Yukari-san told me that we're going to go see Suzune-san. After being dragged by her to class 2, I saw a boy with pink hair outside the back door. He was talking with Suzune-san. Wait, is this her boyfriend or something? He's kinda cute... Ugh.. There I go again.
Yukari: Seems like Yuuma-senpai is there now.
Me: Yuuma-senpai?
Yukari: He's the most handsome guy in school! Not to mention he's also nice. Suzune-chan is lucky to have him as a brother!
Me: That's her brother? (Wow. Pink and Blue mix in this world now, huh?)
Yukari: IA-chan, why are you turning red like that?
Me: No-nothing at all! Why?
Yukari: Don't tell me that you like Yuuma-senpai?
Me: Okay, then I'm not telling you!
Yukari: It's okay, almost all of the girls in school are crushing on him. I mean, with that pink hair, green eyes, masculine voice, wonderful figure, nice attitude...
Me: Okay, Yukari, that's enough.
Yukari: Let's go knock on the door then.
Me: E-eh?

Dragged off to the door, again by Yukari-san. Suzune-san's face was like she's saw her favorite book go on a bargain sale, while Yuuma-senpai's face was like it had seen a cute little kitty.
Suzune-san greeted us with a 'YUKARI-CHAN! IA-CHAN!' while Yuuma-senpai stood there, smiling.
Suzune: Oh, yeah, IA, I haven't introduced you to nii-chan. IA-chan, this is Yuuma-nii-chan. Nii-chan, she's IA-chan. A transfer student.
Yuuma: Nice to meet you, IA-chan. (So handsome! Kyaaaaaaa)
Yukari: Good morning, senpai.
Yuuma: Good morning, Yukari-chan. Any plans to go out with Suzune-chan today?
Yukari: Nope, none at all. I, I mean WE (Yukari suddenly directed a glare at me, which I don't know what it was for) just wanted to see Suzune-chan.
Yuuma: Really? Such sweet girls. (Kyaaaa) Anyway, Suzune, here's your allowance for the day. Spend wisely, okay?
Suzune: Yes, I will. Did you give Lui-kun?
Yuuma: Yes, I went there earlier to check on him.
Suzune: Mizki-chan? Nee-chan?
Yuuma: All done for the day.
*RIIIING*
Yuuma: I'd better be going. I might be late. Hiyama-sensei might burn me to ashes.
Yukari: Oh, come on, senpai, you know my nii-chan's not like that. (Nii-chan? I completely don't understand.)
Yuuma: Just joking. Well then, bye for now. You two better hurry too. Furukawa-sensei might get mad.
Me: Uh... sure... Let's go, Yukari-san...
Yukari: Then, bye-bye, Suzune-chan, Yuuma-senpai! See you next time!
Suzune: Bye!

Class went on as a usual first day of school, like rule orientation, etc. etc... I just looked at the clear sky outside, it was pretty. The clouds were, glimmering, or was it just me?
A knock came on the door. When everyone checked who was knocking, I saw Yuuma-senpai.
Yuuma: Is IA-chan here?
Me: Y-yes?
Yuuma: Please, come with me for a while!
Me: U-umm... but Furukawa-sensei!
Furukawa-sensei: It's alright, go with Yuuma for a while.

Yuuma took me to a place in the school, under the large cherry blossom tree. Then suddenly...
Yuuma: Listen, IA-chan! I've been in love with you since this morning!
Me: Wha-what? We-we just met... right?
Yuuma: This is what they call love at first sight. That beautiful long hair of yours, you'd look prettier with your long hair down.
Me: Wha-wha-wha-what?
Yuuma: Come closer.
Yuuma was about to kiss me, when...
