I don't own anything

"Are you new here too?"

The boy jolted at the sudden sentence. He didn't expect to be acknowledged so suddenly.

"U-Um, yes, and you?"

The other gave him a smile that would match on of an angel.

"Yes, I'm glad I found someone to talk to; I don't know anyone here. I'm Lilli Zwingli by the way." She said, sticking her hand out.

"R-Raivis Galante, it's n-nice to meet you." He stuttered, shaking her hand.

"It would be nice if we were in the same homeroom." She said, turning her eyes back to the stage where a student was giving a speech. Most likely a fourth year.

"My brother came here a few years back, but he graduated already. Do you have any siblings?"

Raivis felt his tongue getting stuck in the middle of his throat. Lilli was doing what people call 'chatting,' he was never good at chatting.

'U-Uh, my brothers, they c-come here."

"Oh? What grade are they in?"

"Um, they're both fourth years."

"So you have two brothers."

"N-No, the third one, he's away at a University."

"What does he study?"

"F-Forensic science and water pipes."

This chatting was going well for him surprisingly.

"That's an unusual combination, but very interesting. My brother's studying weaponry. It gets a bit troublesome though; he brings back a lot of things that end up hurting people if it's used the wrong way."

"Ah.. he, sounds a bit like my eldest brother..."

"And I wish you a good year. Make sure you give your years your all!"

Both turned their attention back to the front, only to see the fourth year leaving the stage and the other students getting up.

"I think we have to go down to the main hall to see what room we're assigned to. You wouldn't mind if I went with you, right?"

Raivis turned red at the ears and nodded. "I-I, would like it if you came with me."

The two hadn't been lucky enough to be put in the same homeroom, but they had three classes together, two in a row after lunch and one at the very beginning of the day. Raivis didn't have too much trouble with his instructors, and lunch had been fair. He ran into Toris in the hallway between fourth and fifth, though Eduard ignored him in the library.

"I don't think I did anything to make him so cross..." Raivis said before sighing, packing his things. Maybe things at home would be better... Yeah, maybe Eduard was just in a foul mood. Everything would be better once he got home.

"Raivis!"

Turning around, he was surprised to see the green eyed girl standing by the doorway.

"Do you want to walk to the station together?"

A smile tugged at his lips. Maybe his day was getting better; it just didn't start out so sweet.

Or maybe his day was going to get even worse.
