Somewhere I Belong
Hikari hummed quietly to herself while she was walking to school.
'What will the new transfer student would be like?' She mused to herself, she knew there was the new student and it was a boy, the whole school had been buzzing about it for the last weeks but her thoughts were interrupted by a blue sports car that zoomed past her in a blue blur that turned recklessly towards the school at breakneck pace.
"Wonder what that was all about?" Hikari wondered to herself.
Shinji clutched his seat belt for dear life as Misato punched the gas and turned recklessly at high speed into the school parking lot screeching to a halt perfectly into a parking space.
"Well finally were here should have driven fast ha Shinji." Misato said as she removed her dark glasses her confident smile never leaving her face. Shinji turned pale and thanked Kami that tomorrow he would be walking to school. Misato led him into the office where they met the principal and Shinji got his class assignment hmm class 2-A.
Just as Shinji was about to step away from the door a girl about his age with brown hair and pig tails ran into the office and crashed into him and knocked both his schedule and him to the ground. Apologizing she brushed herself off and handed Shinji back his schedule. Principal: ah hem Shinji allow me to introduce your class representative Miss Hikari Horaki meet our new student Hikari this is Shinji Ikari.
Hikari studied him with her eyes
'Hmm…black hair eyes so blue they look sad kinda skinny well he's not bad looking. There's something about his eyes it's like I have so many questions to ask him but I Just met him.'
Shinji had similar thoughts at this time hmm
'She looks pretty nice brown hair brown eyes didn't know girls still wear pigtails at our age and she seems somewhat familiar.'
The principal interrupted these thoughts
"Mrs. Horaki would you please show Mr. Ikari to his class." This startled both teens causing both to turning to a shade of red that rivalled Misato's coat.
Hikari lead Shinji out of the classroom. All while this was happening Misato's mind was in overdrive on how to best handle this situation to help out Shinji Misato's idea came together in her head and rushed after Shinji.
"Hey Shinji you forgot your cell phone Hikari was it can Shinji have your phone number you know just incase he needs help with schoolwork or go out on a date." Shinji just about fainted at this and could not believe Misato had pulled this on him did she get off making my life miserable.
Hikari was at a loss for words at the moment and couldn't figure this situation out and couldn't believe her answer
"O…okay."
Misato had a mischievous smile on her face as she programmed Hikari's number into Shinji's phone and labelling it 'Shin's Girl' and handed him back his phone and walked off looking quite pleased with herself.
Shinji knowing that a smiling Misato meant only trouble looking at his phone to check and make sure he didn't dream that this happened quickly turned read what Misato had labelled Hikari's Number and tried as hard as he could to change the label before anyone saw it.
Hikari was in a state of shock and tried as hard as she could to comprehend what had just happen had she seen me looking at Shinji does she think I like we just met but why does he seem so familiar to me hmm…. Snapping out of her daze she looked down to see what this boy was trying to do to his cell phone and got her answer about Misato.
"Hey Shinji was that your mother?" Asked Hikari
"Nope she isn't Shinji answered she's just my guardian I don't live with my father and my mother died a long time ago."
"Oh, ah sorry." Hikari said
"No it's okay I still see my father though not that much." Shinji answered truthfully.
Deciding that she should do what she was supposed to do in the first place she led Shinji to his classroom and walked inside where class had already started and the teacher stopped in the middle of his speech and Hikari took her seat while the teacher introduced Shinji to the class
"Hmm... Where to put you?" Hikari quickly scanned the classroom for empty seats 'Wonder where he's going to be sitting?'
"Mr. Ikari why don't you sit in the desk by the window next to Kyoko Yamato."
Shinji quietly took his seat and continued his usual speech about the second impact Shinji was wondering to himself what to do after school when a tall athletic looking boy came running into the classroom apologizing for being late please take your seat Touji the teacher said and then he took his seat next to Kensuke Aida all was quite in class except for the teacher droning on and on about the second impact and some girls giggling in the back row, Shinji wondered what they were giggling about when all he got an IM on his computer screen.
Are you a pilot Y/N Shinji of course thinking it wasn't a big deal answered yes instantly the whole except Hikari, Toji, and Kensuke who was being held by his collar by Touji
"Come on Touji please let me ask him some questions, come on please."
Apparently almost the whole class wanted to ask him questions and so he was bombarded with questions what it like was to be a pilot did it have any special attacks and where he lived.
From a group of girls asked if he had a girlfriend to which he answered no and there quite a bit of giggles from the girls and scowls from the guys.
Hikari did her best to silence the mob and finally succeeded to when the bell rang for lunch.
Shinji spent most of his lunch trying to lose the mob and he finally ditched them when he hid in the nurses office after he had lost the mob he decided that the best place to eat would be in the classroom but little did he know who else was eating in the classroom also…
