'Orihara Izaya?'

Everyone in the class is facing a smirking black-haired boy who stood up, confident enough compared to the other students, and introduced himself.

- "I'm Orihara Izaya, nice to meet everyone. Please go easy on me from now on"

His voice was smooth and attractive. Every girl in the class blushes at the sight of him as he is facing everyone with that confident look. It seems he'll be popular if he didn't wear middle school uniform for the opening ceremony. However, that didn't matter for the girls, as long as he's attractive in that uniform. So the girls are all over him already, while the guys frown at the sight of him. Yet, they too couldn't help but also stares at Izaya's strangeness appearance. As for me, a guy like him is better to stay away from.

- "Mizuhanada Kurimi, nice to meet you all."

It's finally my turn, as shy as I was, stood up from the chair and introducing myself without looking up from the table. Wanting not to be rude though, I force myself to look up. No one seems to really mind at all as usual. I'm glad for that I wasn't being watched with interest, but somehow I got an itchy feeling there is someone watching me my every move I make from behind.

I sat 2 rows in front of the teacher's table because I'm the type who decided this year I'm going to focus more on schooling. I swear I almost failed to not make it to A-Class as my parents have a high expectation of me. I know, the pressure... cliché much? Well, you'll probably discover soon enough how stereotype I am. So don't just go and hate my Mary Sue vibe just yet!

Once the introducing ended, the class also ended as well as the explanations for future lessons. Everyone walked out of the classroom, chatting with their friends about how happy they were to be in the same class. I, on the other hand, a new transfer student from a small town outside Tokyo, don't know anyone in this fresh new city at all. Without a doubt I'm sad, but I got to keep moving forward. Friends aren't really needed.

- "Humans sure can't live without other human being"

The boy who caught everyone's attention on his introduction, happen to have his shoes lock close to mine. Actually, very close as his shoes were just right, I need beneath my locker! I embarrassedly blushed and apologize and made a place for him. Orihara-san doesn't seem to mind at all as he smiled gently (but in my inner mind, I found it wackily). He continues to talk like nothing happened.

- "Mizuhanada-san, right? Nice to meet you. I hope we can become good friend consider we're in the same class"

He sure gave me an uneasy feeling out of him, standing right besides this "attractive" person in the class.

- "Y-Yes, nice to meet you too, Oriha-"

- "Just call me Izaya."

- "Ori-ha-ra-san" I insisted firmly

- "What with being so formal?" He gave me a weird glare and smile.

- "Because I don't know you well enough to even call you by your first name. Besides, we just talk and I'm doing this to save myself."

- "Why save yourself? From what? It's not that dangerous to call me by my first name. I'm giving you permission after all. Besides, everyone here will probably do that anyway. You sure are traditional."

- "Don't you lie to me like you haven't noticed how the girls in class were staring at you? Like they could have simply jumped on your knees an-"

As I was saying that, I noticed we're now standing at the entrance door without myself realize it... until now. Izaya noticed my expression and flash me another smile with that trademark confident face he had on his introduction.

- "It seems like we really can become good friends. Well, it's nice to talk to you and I would love to talk to you more. But I need to excuse myself for now. Ja ne!"

And he left me standing in the same spot, confused and dumbfound. Not because I was caught off guard to talk to him, but because the stares I receive from every corner of the entrance door. It's seems my life is getting into troublesome times once again.

Author's Note:

Hello everyone, this is Mimiko here!

I used to write this story back in the days were Quizillia (under the name Lillymoon) was up and I thought of wanting to finish my work from a long time ago and I missed the day I used to write fanfiction. It'll help improve my writing and I love writing my own side of romance :p

Same as my story on Blue Excorist, you don't know yet who you'll end up with, but certainly you'll notice as you read along the way who might be your love interest? Anyway, hope you like the first part so far, if not. Just stick around for a bit then if you can XD
