Everything in Nox Vitorio's life, his love life, seemed true, his popular girlfriend and him being a headline news in school, but he is just that proud to have a popular girlfriend, but-

"Sorry, Nox. I don't like you anymore." The girl said in front of many students. Nox was desperate and heartbroken, especially embarassed. But mostly heartbroken, because she exchanged him, a smart, simple, virtous guy, for an idiot. The idiot, Joras Lanardo, walks like a gangster, his polo opened, side shaved hair and all things indecent and molestly kisses the girl and the girl kisses back molestly as well.

"Hey, piss off weirdo." Joras pushed Nox as the girl hugs Joras. When ot of nowhere, a girl grabs Nox's ex girlfriend by the hair and slaps her in the face so hard she fell on the floor. She kicked Joras to the stomach flying.

"HOW DARE YOU!" The girl exclaimed. The girl grabs Nox's ex's hair again and raised it her through it. The students gathered around them backed up from them.

"No! How dare you!" The girl raised her by the hair and kicks her in the face.

"Noelle! Noelle stop it! You'll get in trouble for this!" Nox stopped her angry friend.

"How dare you embarass him! And you even exchanged him for a punk?! You-" she was just about to stomp her stomach when Nox hugged her, signallig her to stop. Nox and his friend Noelle left the area. Nox kept on holding her hand, leading her to the rooftop. "Hey, ladies first." Nox smiled at her and Noelle smiled too.

"And what? You'll see my shorts? I don't think so." Noelle pushed Nox hapilly. "What? C'mon, when it was your first climb, your butt fell on me!" Noelle pushed him again. "Oh stop it! You know we were 8 years old at that time, I'm already sixteen, we're both sixteen, of course, I'm a girl, and you know what does that mean." Nox knows what it means, Noelle isn't the little girl she was before, she has boundaries now. "Seriously? I wasn't aiming for that, I know we're matured, well in that case-" Nox knelt in front of her.

"What? What are you- AH!" Nox grabbed her hands and she landed on his back, Nox held her legs and carried her on his back. "You're not serious on climbing this with one hand are you?" Nox smirked and looked into Noelle's brown eyes shimmered by the sun about to set. "Watch me." Nox started to climb to the rooftop as Noelle held him tightly.

Noelle was Nox's childhood friend and best friend up to now. They're the only ones who helped each other in school, no matter what the problem may be. They look like in a relationship but they're just that close but in reality, Noelle has feelings for him. They reached the top and sat on the edge, the way they used to do.

"Why did you do that?" Nox asked, looking at the sun.

"Do what? The ruckus I made a while ago?" Noelle answered.

"Yeah, you knew you'd get in trouble for that? You might get kicked out of here." Nox said.

"Everyone in that place knew what she did was wrong, picking that jerk instead of you. You're far more better than any guy I know." Noelle looks on her right, trying to hide her blushing face. "I-If I... If I was kicked out, what will you do?" She asked.

"You won't. If you're asking that you'll be kicked out of this school, I'll follow you, but if you're asking if you'll get kicked out from my world, you won't." Nox looked at her but she wasn't looking back, she was far too red for him to see. She hugged her legs, to keep her smile. "I trused her you know?" her smile faded away and slowly looked at the eyes of Nox, looking into the sun, his eyes glimmers.

"Maybe it's because girls and boys today are only for looks. I loved her, but her pleasure for looks was far more greater than her supposed-to-be love." Nox's voice was serious, Noelle felt every word and every sound to her heart. She was crushed to see her love broken. "But why're so happy?" she asked. "Even though she cheated on you?" Nox turned his eyes on her, smiling, as if nothing happened.

"Noelle, she exchanged me for a punk, you think I have time to cry over a girl as low as that? Noelle, I'm an orphan with evil relatives, that's what I should be crying about." Nox said. Noelle's eyes widened with guilt. Nox's parents were killed by an unknown murderer when he was still a baby and was taken by his uncle and aunt who controls the Department of Revenue or DIR. He had a Cinderella life, except he's a guy. "I'm sorry, you had to bring that up." Noelle said.

"There you go again." Nox scooted next to her. "You don't have to say sorry, heck, I'd cry for a year if you were my girlfriend!" Nox joked and laughed and Noelle slightly pushed her and laughed as well. But in Noelle's mind she said: "I wish I was."

Nox was finally alone, unknown to Noelle, he cried in the evening alley. As he turn in the alley wiping the tear off his eyes, a man with a brown coat fell on him. "What the- sorry si-" before he can even say sorry, the man jumped off him. Nox looked and saw a silhouette in the air, when a hooded person landed on the man. Nox realized the man was dead when blood was flowing out of his head. The person who appeared to be a girl, slowly stood up. The moonlight shined on her face and Nox saw her fierce eyes hidden beneath her hooked hood. Nox saw her belt with a familiar insignia, known to all by working in the shadows, called fugitives and murderers by the government.

Nox saw an Assassin.
