Lina sat down in the courtyard, twirling the purple flower in her hand. The wind slowly blew in her face, making her fire red ponytail fall off her shoulder. She glanced up into the sky and saw the clouds slowly pass by. How she wished she could be free as the birds, maybe even meet him, the man who haunted her dreams. It was always the same. Each night he would appear, his face hidden in the shadows, but she could sence he was smiling, his eyes glittering, she could never really remember what color they where. His hair sof, his touch gentle, but then reality hit and harsh winds blew them apart, his form scattering into hundred of black butterflys. Then she woke up. She never could forget him, but she never could remember him. Who was he?

Sylph and Filia looked out the window at the figure of the red-haired girl in a combination of the boy and girl's uniform. She wore all black, so no one could really tell what year she was, except for the few who knew. She wore the black vest of the girl's uniform, but she also wore black pants and a black silk shirt of the boys uniform. But that was normal because she was the President of the Student council, all members of high ranking wore a simillar outfit, but they all were class colors.
"Miss Lina looks so depressed. i wonder what's wrong...." Fillia said, as she glanced at the figure under the tree.
"I don't know, and when I asked her, she just walked away, I'm so worried." Sylph said, sighing. "Anyway, did you hear about the new kid who's coming tommarrow?" She continued.
"Yes. He's supposted to be the highest ranked person in his old school, plus I heard he was cute." Fillia said, smiling slightly.
"He's not as cute as Gary......." Fillia swaetdropped as Sylph then went off into la la land, but suddenly Lina brushed by them, not noticing them as she went into a classroom. Before Sylph and Fillia could realize it, the late bell had rung.

The next day, Lina walked down the hallway, trying to get the over-obsesive Amelia away from her, when she bumped into someone, causing both of them to fall while Amelia just stood there, staring. Lina got up quickly and then began to appologize. The boy got up, brushing off his beige uniform, the color of a 4th year student. Lina then began to walk away when she heard Amy begin to pester the guy.
"Amy, will you PLEASE stop bothering people! For one thing, your not going to become Class President so easily, and isn't your class on the 3rd floor?" Lina said, raising a eyebrow. Amy suddenly disappeared, leaving a cloud of dust behind. Chuckling, Lina smiled and then her smile disappeared as she began to walk toward her class. Suddenly a voice stopped her, it was HIS voice.
"Could you tell me where room, 133a is?" the boy asked, looking at the girl dressed in all black. She looked so familliar, but he had never meet her! Or had he?
"Sure, I'm heading toward the same part of the school, so just follow me." Lina said, turning around, trying to separtate her emotions. She held out her hand, "My name is Lina Melanie Ivernes."
"My name is Zachary Evian Lance Grey, or Zel for short." Zel said, accepting the hand.

Lina Lead the way through the hallways, pointing out rooms left and right. She had found out that he was in the same class first period as her, so she would lead him to it. They stopped in front of a open doorway where kids sat around, earing uniforms the some color as Zel's. As they saw Lina standing there with the new student, their jaws dropped. Lina, the untouchable firebird, was talking to the new guy! Heck, most of them haven't ever heard her talk other then in a class or a meeting. As she left the guy behind, all the guys jumped on Zel and began to ask how he managed to talk to that girl.
"What do you mean "i'm lucky?" She's a really nice girl. What grade is she in?" Zel asked Nick, who had introduced himself as class president.
"We don't know. 1st years are red, 2nd, blue, 3rd green, and 4th is beige or white. Black isn't one of the school colors!" Zolf said.
"Then why is she allowed to wear black? And how can you not know what year she is?" Zel raised a eyebrow.
"She suddenly transfered last year, so she could be a 2nd year or a 4th year, her skills vary so much that we cannot tell from her classes." Rick, another boy said.
"Then why does she have a combination of the boy & girl's uniform?" Zel asked asain.
"She's part of the student council, a very high ranking one at that." Xellos said, appearing, his eyes closed, a smile planted on his face. He was dressed in a uniform alot like Lina's but it was blue. "If your wondering, I'm the 4th year class president." Xellos said.
"And what rank is Lina?" Zelgadis asked.
"Student council President"
