"How dare you, you asshole!" was heard from across the hall, followed by a dark-haired male sprinting, being chased by a blonde female. I think to myself, What a great way for the first day of my second year to start.
My name is Ruukassu Fukiyomi, and I am, as of today, a second year high school student. I just moved to this town, Kagoshima, due to my parents getting a divorce, so I was forced to go live by myself for my last two years of high school. I head to the faculty office and get many different looks from people, based off my appearance, of course. People talk about my brown bedraggled hair, my dark, nearly black eyes, and my somewhat slouched posture. If only I got paid everytime I heard a comment on my hair. I walk into the faculty office, which seems to be empty. I turn around to see a teacher, smiling at me.
"Go on in." she says with an inviting tone. I do as instructed, and stand by the first desk I see. She then goes to her desk, which is nowhere near the one I am in front of, and grabs what seems to be my folder. "Ruukassu Fukiyomi, right?" the teacher asks. I merely nod to confirm. "You are in classroom 2-B, that is the second room on the right on the second floor." The teacher smiles and then sits at her desk. I then head out of the faculty office and walk up the stairs.
However, as I walk up the stairs, I notice a paper on the ground and pick it up. I then look around and see a girl in front of me. I say, "Excuse me, umm, I think you dropped this?"
She rudely snatched the paper from my hand. This girl, however, was quite beautiful. She had bright green eyes, long blonde hair, and a cute face. She then stuffed the paper in her pocket then walked away.
"You're welcome..." I say under my breath as I continue walking to my classroom. Unfortunately, it seems this girl is also going to the same class. She takes a seat right in the middle, and I decide to sit in the back by the window. I know, it's the typical anime seat, but I have always sat by the window, ever since middle school. I hear the door slam open as the same dark-haired boy who was being chased by the blonde earlier runs in, and the blonde in question tackles him to the ground.
"Ow ow ow ow!" The boy yells in pain, and the teacher soon walks in on the blonde girl having the boy in a head lock. The teacher merely gives a look, and the girl releases the boy, taking her seat in front of me. The boy merely mutters, "Saved by the bell..."
The girl in front of me then shoots him a glare that screams, We're not done yet. I chuckle, and the girl in front of me looks at me. She has these deep blue eyes, and a bit of makeup on, but she still looks pretty.
The girl asks me quietly, "Do you know what he did?" Now that I think about it, what could he have done to make this girl chase him around all morning? Did he cheat on her? Grab her body innappropriately? Maybe he stole something of hers? I shake my head, and she looks around to make sure no one was listening. She then whispers, "He tore my leggings, look!" She sticks her leg out and there is what appears to be a huge hole in her leggings.
I ask, "Was it an accident?"
"I dunno." She responds.
"Well, don't you think you should know that before you chase him down the entire school campus and tackle him?"
She just gives me this glare and her face turns red, before she turns around. I don't think I gave her the answer she was looking for. The teacher then began a long lecture up by the board, and I sorta listened... but not really.
School finally ended, and the dark-haired boy came up to me as I got to the door. "Hey, you're new to this school right? I didn't see you around last year, what's your name? Where are you from?" This boy sure has a few questions.
"My name is Ruukassu Fukiyomi," I respond. "I'm from Shizuoka."
The boy just looks at me with surprise. "Wow all the way from there? That's a little far isn't it?"
I shrug and said "I guess?"
The boy chuckles. "Well my name is Kitoguya Shizuko, I'm a second year like you. Well, that must be obvious, since we are in the same homeroom." he chuckles again lightly, and smiles as an idea seems to cross his mind. "Hey, since you're new here, lemme show you around!"
I smile and accept his invite. He shows me this mall with a bunch of places to hang out, like arcades, restaurants, cafe's and some karaoke rooms. Kitoguya smirks as he finds his way in front of me, and raises his arms out. "Welcome to Kagoshima!" He then points out all the different places here in the mall. Kitoguya realizes soon afterwards that his train would be leaving soon, so he heads to the subway station, and I decide to walk home.
Once I arrive home, I walk in and realize everything is still cluttered in my room, since I'm still just moving in. However, I feel really tired after today, so I carefully flop back on my futon and try to head to sleep. So this is my new school and home for the next two years...
When I finally fade into deep sleep, I see a bright light, but I still don't feel as if I'm awake. I then hear a light voice say to me, "Welcome... To the Velvet Room..."
