'Fate-chan is alone right now. Living alone in her castle of solitude; sitting on her throne like a lifeless doll. If possible, I want to sit by her side and make her happy. Like how a King makes a Queen happy or how a knight is dedicated to their princess.'
After a week of trying to get close to Fate, Nanoha and her friends wasn't able to befriend her at all. Nanoha tried inviting her to eat with them during recess and lunch, inviting her to walk home with them and hang out with them but all of her offers were rejected by Fate without using words. Nanoha never met a person that was this cold and distant. After a week when she transferred, her classmates didn't bother to talk to her anymore though she is still a talk in school. Nanoha got rejected many times but this didn't stop her from making friends with Fate.
"She is so persistent Nanoha. What profit you will get if she does become your friend?" Arisa asked.
"Arisa, in making friends we only don't think about what we will get but also what the other will get in return if she becomes our friend. I guarantee her that I will make her life better!" Nanoha said with a determined voice.
"Why are you so optimistic? Did fairy tales got you that hard?" Hayate asked.
"Yes. Maybe; As for Fairy Tales, maybe Fate-chan has her own story. Fate-chan is alone right now. Living alone in her castle of solitude; sitting on her throne like a lifeless doll. If possible, I want to sit by her side and make her happy. Like how a King makes a Queen happy or how a knight is dedicated to their master."
"A princess in solitude!" Hayate shouted
"Nanoha-chan you are too selfless. You'll hurt yourself if you keep on doing that. All you think about are other people."Suzuka said.
"All for Fate-chan!"
"You already used her first name even though she doesn't consider you as friend." Hayate said.
"Anyways I'm going to try and ask her out later."
"Ask her out on what?" Hayate snorted "On a date?" Hayate joked.
"I want to ask her out on the date but we are not even friends yet. We, being together is very impossible." Nanoha sighed. Her friends just stared at her. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Do you have a crush on Harlaown-san?" Arisa asked her directly.
Nanoha blushed from the question."I don't have a crush on her but I am interested and attracted to her." Nanoha said in defense.
"Well, I am also quite interested and attacted to her." Hayate smiled.
"The two of you always liked weird stuff. It's so hard to deal with you guys." Arisa face palmed.
"Arisa what do you mean by the two of them only? You can be handful sometimes too." Suzuka smiled. Hayate and Nanoha laughed. Arisa pouted but joined their laughter later on.
Fate entered the classroom just to see the same four girls that were hugging a week ago, laughing with pure bliss.
'How can they laugh and smile like that so easily?' Fate asked herself inside. Fate stared at the group while wonderng. Being distracted by her own thoughts, she didn't realize that Nanoha was infront of her staring unto her eyes. Fate flinched, unable to move away.
"Fate-chan." Fate flinched when hearing her first name was called. Nanoha held Fate's hand to ease the discomfort the blonde was feeling. "Can we be friends?" Fate slapped the hand away and went to her seat. "Ah… That stung inside... a little bit."
"Nanoha, you should have pinned her to the wall. Be more aggressive!" Hayate posed some poses that is alike to a body builder.
"Don't listen to this pervert Nanoha." Arisa said while she chopped Hayate's head. The group laughed again.
Fate took a glance on her back just to see Nanoha and her friends laughing again. 'How can she laugh like that even though I just hurt her?' Nanoha caught Fate looking and smiled at her. The blonde immediately broke off their eye contact. Fate blushed. 'S-she smiled at me again.'
Exams for their second mid-quarter are in a week. It has been one month since Fate's transfer. The group invited Fate to study with them but again, she ignored them.
"Fate-san aces most of the quiz that our teachers give us why is that? Does she study only and not play or something?" Hayate complained.
"Hayate, don't fool around and get your ass moving." Arisa said. Suzuka pinched Arisa's cheek.
"Arisa, watch your words." Suzuka gave her 'that' look. Yes, the look that says 'do something stupid and I will let you feel hell.' Arisa gulped and nodded. "Good girl. As for you Hayate, please study."Suzuka smiled at her but her smile was quite menacing so Hayate went to study as well.
"Suzuka, how can you stop these two always?" Nanoha sighed. Suzuka just answered with a smile. 'I guess… I know the reason why... I think.' she thought.
"Ah, yesterday I saw Fate-san with Lindy." Hayate said.
"Lindy? As in Lindy Harloawn? The captain of the Arthra squad of TSAB?"Arisa asked.
"Yeah, so she was a daughter of someone popular and cool. How nice. I thought that Harlaown was just another guy's surname and it was not Lindy."
"But from what I heard, Lindy only has a son named Chrono Harlaown who is currently college taking police as his main course." Suzuka stated. "I am sure that all of you know the husband of Lindy Harlaown. He was known by everyone and was deemed as a hero. We all know his face and name. Harlaown-san doesn't look like Lindy or her husband. None in their family have blonde hair and burgundy eyes. Does that look weird to you?"
The group went silent. Indeed that Fate has the family name of Harlaown but she didn't get any of the genetics of Lindy and her husband.
"So, Fate-chan is adopted?" Nanoha asked.
"Yes. Harlaown-san does not talk about herself at all. A classmate asked once about his but she just shrugged. So I thought it was a no."
"Heck she only said her name and that's it."Arisa said.
"Why didn't we realize this sooner?" Hayate screamed.
"Because we are busy befriending her." Everyone stared at Nanoha."You didn't even know she was adopted."
"Hey I knew!"
"Since when?"
"Just a while ago." Nanoha answered.
The group laughed and didn't study again after that.
After exams
Exams just finished; every student studied hard so they can pass the exam. After exams, the ranking of the exams for the different levels was posted on the bulletin boards through out the school. Ever since the group started in middle school, the rank one never changed. Aylene Yamada has been ranked as one ever since she was in her preschool but that changes people were gathered at the bulletin board but it was twice as many. Many people, even in the lower and higher grade can't believe that the rank one of grade level was changed.
Aylene Yamada paced on the hallways quickly to see if the gossips were true, about another girl knocking her out of her number one throne. She slipped into the crowd and went in front of the bulletin board. She looked for her grade level and saw who was ranked first. It was true. She was kicked out of her throne by none other than, Fate T. Harlaown of class 1-B. She was enraged, she was mad. No one will sit on her throne but her. She walked away and went to class 1-B, a class where Fate resides.
'No one will sit on my throne but me. I don't care if you just transferred or you are a daughter of a school is my castle and that rank one is my throne, no one but me shall claim it.'
