A/N- we all know that Makoto is an idiot right? And I created this character of mine to correct the errors that he had made, Makoto does not deserves Kotonoha honestly speaking, it's the same for Sekai, so please enjoy, I'll start this ficlet of mine in the third and fourth episode.
A New Acquaintance Arrives.
"Today, you will have your name classmate, he just transferred here from America, and you can come in now." The teacher said.
Everyone was whispering, Kotonoha just sat there and expects for her new classmate.
When the new student came in, they all gasped at his aura, and charisma.
He's tall, he has a silver hair, and had a deep blue eyes. (A/N go search Rai Hodges from Lost Colors)
Kotonoha's eyes widened.
"Hello, I'm Rai Takanagi, it's a pleasure meeting you all!" Rai smiled.
And almost every girl in the classroom was squirming.
Rai gave a nervous chuckle.
"Mr. Takanagi, you can sit next to Ms. Katsura" The teacher pointed.
Rai bowed slightly and went on next to Kotonoha.

Rai was in his seat writing something, when suddenly 4 girls approached Kotonoha.
"You're a member of the committee, and you think that you're boyfriend is far more important than this?" The girl scolded
"What is he like? Your boyfriend?" Another girl asked her.
"It's not that. Um." Kotonoha stuttered.
"Just finish your work." The girl went to her seat along with her group.
Kotonoha glanced at Rai and then she stared at the papers.
Rai went closer to Kotonoha but he kept his distance.
"You know what? You shouldn't be bothered by those things." Rai said.
"Eh? What—what are you talking about?"
"You shouldn't act low between those guys, but you should know that you have your own limitations and their limitations also." Rai smiled.
"I guess, I—should go, thank you Takana—"
"Call me Rai." Rai smiled again.
"Uh yes." Kotonoha said then she ran away.
"Hey Rai." The girls approached him.
"Yes?"
"She has a boyfriend."
"I know.." Rai smiled.

Rai was walking to the hallway when he bumped into a girl with a shoulder length hair..
"I'm sorry." Rai apologized.
"Are you new here?" The girl asked.
"Ah yes, I'm Rai Takanagi." Rai smiled and he helped the girl up.
"I'm Sekai Saionji, pleasure to meet you!" Sekai gave a huge smile and shook Rai's hands.
"Uh yes indeed." Rai smiled back.
"OI, who is he?" A girl with a wavy hair asked.
"After him, now another one?" Another girl smirked.
Rai bowed down and he let go of Sekai's hands.
"What are your names again?" Rai asked.
"Oh yes, I'm Kuroda Hikari." The girl with a brown hair said.
"Setsuna Kiyora" The girl with a black hair and a small height said.
"Kanroji Nanami" A girl with a blue and wavy hair said.
"Pleased to meet you, are you all from the class next door?" Rai asked.
"Yes, how about…. Let's have lunch together!" Sekai exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Hikari blushed.
All of them agreed and they have lunch together.
"Hey Rai?" Nanami asked.
"Yes?" Rai asked.
"Why did you transfer here?" Kiyora asked.
"My family wants to; they want me to handle our family business." Rai smiled.
"You're from America right?" Hikari asked.
"How did you know?" Rai asked.
"Words are like virus, they sure know how to spread!" Sekai added
"Yes indeed, I am from America, my father is Japanese, while my mom is an American." Rai said.
"So what's your middle name?" Sekai asked.
"It's Hodges, so if you add Hodges, Rai Hodges-Takanagi" Rai smiled.
"What a pretty name." Hikari said.
"You think so?" Rai smiled.
"Well, Mr. Takanagi you're getting popular with the girls already!" a man joined in
"Who—who are you?" Rai asked.
"Oh yes, I'm Taisuke Sawanaga." The man said.
"Ah, pleased to meet you." Rai said.
"Well, got to go, be careful with them." Taisuke winked.
Rai raised an eyebrow while looking at Sekai.
"He's just a classmate, probably jealous." And all of them laughed.

(After school)
Setting: At Sekai's work (RADISH)- a family restaurant
"Welcome customer—oh it's you." Sekai said
"Are you done with your work?" Setsuna asked.
"I'll be done after an hour, how about you sit and order some food customer!" Sekai exclaimed
Setsuna took the menu when someone opened the door.
"Welcome Customer!" Sekai said.
"AH yes." Rai smiled.
"What are you doing here sir?" The manager said.
"Sir?" Sekai said.
"Where are your manners?" The manager yelled.
"No, it's alright really; she's a friend of mine." Rai smiled.
Sekai stood there, while Setsuna was looking at the both of them.
"What can I do for you sir?" The manager asked.
"I'll be here for some observation purposes, so leaving me alone is alright." Rai smiled
And the manager went away, but still peeking.
Rai sat beside Setsuna.
"Is this seat taken?" Rai asked.
"No." Setsuna answered.
"What can I—I do –" Sekai stuttered
"There's no need for you to be formal." Rai smiled.
"But—the manager seems to respect you." Sekai whispered.
"Just, take my order and I'll explain everything." Rai said.
Setsuna and Rai ordered their food.

When their orders arrived, they began eating.
"So Rai, what's up?" Sekai asked.
"Oh yes, this restaurant is one of the properties owned by my father." Rai said.
Setsuna's eyes widen.
"YOUR FAMILY OWNS WHAAA-" Sekai yelled in shock
"Ah, yes." Rai chuckled.
"DO you want to get fired?" The manager yelled.
"Don't worry Sir, I've got this under control." Rai yelled back.
"Sorry about that Si—" Sekai blushed
"Just call me Rai alright?" Rai smiled.
"But—"
"I told you earlier, no need for you to be formal." Rai smiled.
After they ate, Rai gave the papers to the manager and pleaded goodbye.
"Do you want me to drive the both of you home?" Rai asked.
"Uh no need really." Sekai said.
"Are you sure? It's pretty dark out there." Rai said.
"Uh yes, me and Setsuna have to discuss something, right?" Sekai said.
Setsuna nodded.
"I see, see you tomorrow I guess." Rai said as he walked away.
The both of them got out.
"What a real gentleman he is." Setsuna said.
"AH yes."
"Too bad you already have Makoto-kun." Setsuna said.
"I'm not dating him."
"For the last time, are you dating him?" Setsuna asked in a serious voice (more serious voice)
"I am not."Sekai smiled.

(RAI's SECOND DAY OF CLASSES)
"MAKOTO YOU IDIOT!" Sekai yelled
Rai stopped and stared at the two people.
Sekai realized that Rai was there idly standing.
"Oh, Good Morning Rai!" Sekai greeted.
Rai smiled back and said "Good Morning, Sekai-san! Is he your boyfriend?"
"WHAT NO!" Sekai denied.
A boy whispered to her.
"Oh yes, Makoto, meet Rai. Rai this is Makoto, a close friend of mine." Sekai said.
"Ah, pleased to meet you." Rai said as he shook hands with Makoto.
Then the school bell rang.
"Hey, Takanagi-kun!" Makoto called out.
"Yes?" Rai asked.
"Let's have lunch together at the rooftop!" Makoto yelled and Rai nodded.

(LUNCH TIME)
As the classes ended the silver haired boy, remained from his seat for a little while then he sat up.
Then he saw Kotonoha stand up and followed her.
"Katsura-san!" Rai called.
Kotonoha stopped at the corner.
"Where are you heading for lunch?" Rai asked.
"To the rooftop with friends."
"I see, I'll be meeting my friends too at the rooftop, want to come together?" Rai asked.
Kotonoha nodded and they went to the rooftop.
"It's locked." Rai said.
"I guess, they're not here yet." Kotonoha frowned.
"Hey, I guess I have some spare keys." Rai said and he opened the door.
"Why did you have the keys to the rooftop?" Kotonoha asked.
"Well, it's because I'm the vice-president of the horseback riding club!"
"What's the connection?" Kotonoha asked.
"Well, I asked the principal if I could use the rooftop for some fresh air after the practice and he suddenly, gave me the keys." Rai smiled.
"I see, but for such a short time you became the vice-president?"
"It's because, I myself is a horseback riding champion, and oh, I'm not bragging really." Rai said.
"It's alright." Kotonoha smiled.
"Why are you so silent Katsura-san? Something wrong?" Rai asked.
"Oh, it's nothing really."
"O-okay then. How about we eat our lunch, I guess, Sekai-san and Makoto-kun will not arrive." Rai said,
"You know them?" Kotonoha asked.
"Yes, I just met Sekai-san yesterday and Makoto-kun this morning." Rai smiled.
"I see, they're my friends too." Kotonoha smiled.
"Oh yea? The world really is small." Rai chuckled and Kotonoha giggled.

(AFTER CLASSES)
Rai was taking a walk outside when he saw Kotonoha all alone outside the school.
"Kotonoha-san?" Rai asked.
"Oh, Hello Rai." She greeted.
"Who are you waiting for?" Rai asked.
"Nothing really."
"DO you want me to drive you home?" Rai asked.
"EH? I'm alright really, I'm taking the train."
"How about, I'll take you to the station, just to be safe." Rai smiled.
"You're a good friend Rai, but can you take me to the bookstore instead?" Kotonoha asked.
"Anything for a lady." Rai smiled.
While walking Rai wanted to have a short conversation with his classmate
"Are you dating someone?" Rai asked.
"Eh?"
"Uhh don't get me wrong, I don't have any plans to court you, I'm just asking." Rai smiled.
"We just met, but it feels like I can say this to you. Yes I am dating someone."
"Really? And who is he?" Rai asked.
"Itou Makoto."
"Oh, Sekai-san's classmate, what a lucky guy." Rai smiled.
Kotonoha blushed and said "What do you mean?"
"Well, you're cute, intelligent, and you want to do things slow, that's my ideal girlfriend, oh sorry about this." Rai chuckled.
Kotonoha giggled and they arrived at the bookstore.
"Well, this is your stop, are you sure that you're okay with this?" Rai asked.
"Yes, I am. Thank you very much Ra-chan." Kotonoha giggled.
Rai blushed at his nickname and bowed at Kotonoha and waved goodbye.
Makoto-kun eh? Well, he's indeed a lucky guy, I hope he won't do something bad to Sekai-san and Katsura-san.
