There she is. The quiet, yet beautiful Kotonoha Katsura.

But as I moved towards her, I stopped myself to think.

Obviously, I have to speak japanese since the visual novel isn't in english, and I probably shouldn't call her Kotonoha.

With that in mind, I took a deep breath, and ran towards.

"Hey!" I shouted.

"E-Eh?!" She turned a complete 180 in shock and confusion.

I stopped in front of her and asked "Hey, you're Katsura, right?"

"Umm...Y-yes.."

I smile brightly and held my hand out. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Katsura-San! I'm Yuuto Kaito! I'm a first year at Sakakino!"

"Oh, I see. It is nice to meet you too. But...how do you know my name?"

Oh. I have not thought of that.

"Well...Um..T-The teacher said that...that I should come to you if I need help! You are quite the smart one, Katsura-San."

"Oh..." She says turning slightly red. "T-Thank you.." Phew...

Suddenly, I see a train pull up.

"Come, this train will head to the school." She says as she walks towards it.

"Oh okay!"

Katsura and I board the train, and sat down on the seats.

Once we do, she pulls a book out of her backpack and starts reading.

"Hey Katsura-San, what are you reading?"

She looks up from her book, folds the edge of the page she was on, and closed it.

"I'm reading one of my favorite romance novels."

"Oh..I'm personally like things that are more funny and adventurous." I say. "Some drama once in a while is good though."

"I see. But these kind books aren't just romance books. They have great characters and settings, and stories. That is why I love them so much."

I nod, and thought for a moment until I got an idea.

"Hey Katsura, I have an idea! The school has a library, right?"

"Yes. I visit it most days."

"Since I don't really like romance, why don't you find one you think I would like, and we could talk about it?"

"Oh..That is actually a good idea." She says looking down, pondering.

She then looked up and for the first time, smiled at me.

"Don't worry Kaito, I will be sure to find one that you will enjoy!"

I smile as well. "Thanks Katsura."

"It's no problem at all." She says before opening her book to continue reading.

But for some reason, I had a feeling of we were being watched. Like a pair of eyes were on us.

I turned to the right, and I met eyes with the one and only Makoto Itou, who quickly retreated his gaze once I looked at him.

I knew he was staring at us.

I would go talk to him, but I don't want to leave Katsura, so I'll wait until we get off at the school.

With that out of the way, I looked out of the window, and took in the scenery.

Man...Haramihama really is a beautiful city.

I relaxed and enjoyed the ride.

...

Minutes later, we arrived at our destination and got off to walk the rest of the way to the school.

As Katsura and I continued to walk, more and more students started to appear. Once we entered the gate, I stopped, which confused Katsura.

"I'll see you later, Katsura! I'm gonna wait for someone!"

She nods and waves goodbye.

I wait until I see Makoto, and walked up to him.

"Um..Hi!"

He quickly looks away from his phone. He was obviously staring at his picture of Katsura. But...how? Maybe he took it while I was looking out the window.

"Oh, umm...hi." He says closing the phone and putting it in his pocket.

"I saw you on the train! I'm Yuuto Kaito by the way!"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Makoto Itou. You're a first year?"

"Yep! Gonna be pretty hard fitting in."" I say laughing a little.

"Hmm..Just get average grades and don't be annoying. Then, you'll be fine."

"But that's kinda blunt."

"Hey, it worked for me."

I nod. Now it's time to get to the point.

"Hey Itou, you know Katsura right? Katsura Kotonoha?

He looks at me with a weird look, but awnsers anyways. "Uh..yeah, why?"

"Do you have a crush on her?" I ask, and that one question was enough to set him off.

"What?! Of course not!"

I smirk, and turned away from him. "Then what was that picture on your phone?"

His eyes widened and he jerked his body towards me.

"Y-YOU SAW?!"

I turned back towards him and smiled. "I saw."

"Do not tell anyone! Please!" He pleaded.

"Hm...So you admit it?"

"Admit what?"

"That you like Katsura."

"B-But..You!-..." He sighs and finally gives in. "So what?"

"I'm saying I can help you."

"Eh?" He says curiously.

"I can learn more about Katsura for you, and get you two together!" I say forming a heart with my hand. He cringes.

"I'll pass..I'm content just watching her from afar."

I frown. "That's sad, Itou."

"Sad, but it works." He responds.

I sigh. "Okay, I'll just go ahead and tell Katsura what I saw."

"Okay, Okay, I'll let you help!" he yelled before facepalming. "Man, this is gonna be the death of me.."

Hah! Irony.

"After class, I'll try to talk to her, and then we can meet at lunch."

"Hm...Okay. I hope you know what you're doing Kaito."

"Call me Yuuto."

He seemed surprise, but agreed.

"And I get to call you Makoto!"

"HUH?! How does that work?!"

"It just does."

He sighs and nods. "Well, I'm heading to class. See you, Yuuto."

"Bye Makoto!"

And then, he just went off.

But...where is my class?

...

After a minute or two of walking, I found a chart stating who was in each class. And, I'm in Class 1-4! This is great! Now I can keep an eye on Katsura and make sure she dosen't get bullied.

I then follow the number of class until I find class 1-4, and opened the door.

I look inside and spotted Katsura, who was more than surprised to see me.

"So, you must be the new student." To the side of me was a teacher...I don't care enough to learn his name.

"Care to introduce yourself?"

"Ah, yes."

I turn around to the class and put a smile on my face.

"Hi! I'm Yuuto Kaito, and I'm a first year here! I was originally from Japan, but I moved the the U.S. when I was only 8 months old, but moved back to Japan when I was 4. I also like drawing alot! I'm glad to meet you all, and I hope we can be good friends!"

After I shut up, the room was filled with whispers. From "He seems like the really happy type." to, "That can get pretty annoying fast.." to, "I think it's kinda cute.." and so on.

"Okay, settle down!" the teacher said. Once the room became silent, he continued.

"Okay, Kaito, you sit next to Katsura. Katsura, may you stand up?"

She stood up, and I walked towards her. As I did, I walked by Otome Katou, which for some reason, was looking at me, and then Katsura with an angry look.

Katsura and I both took our seats, and looked at each other.

I smiled brightly at her, and she slightly smiled as well.

With that, the class started.
