Prologue
?'s POV
That story, my life took a turn from there. This is how my journey begin.
I was a top student in my school, none could challenge a brain of my own. Every problem sent towards me, I fixed with flying colors. My father left me alone as my mother is my only joy in the family left. To tell you the truth, there was one problem I couldn't solve on my own.
Love,
love is the one that is impossible to solve.
I am the male top student of my school as there's one female top student that every one praises so much. Even myself praised this woman so much. She's an energetic woman when it comes to competition but when it comes to academics, she's quite serious. She has beauty and a luscious grace.
Today, I thought I have my chance to tell her. I wanted to ask her to the dance for the 'Moonlight Rift'. To tell her my heart's yearning for her.
I arrive to the school to see students whispering around the hallway. It does happen with me on occasional terms but today, it's not me becoming a headline. Apparently, there's a new student in the school, who matched the female top student in academics. That become my newest chance of discovery, a female that has the same grades or surpasses the female top student.
The female intrigues me quite well, makes me question my own mind. Am I like everyone else that comes to small new? Shaking my head to remove dangerous thoughts, I know I am different than anyone else. It's better for me to go to class to execute my little operation.
"Hey, are you even awake?"
"Oh, sorry! Let me be out of your way."
Now I have, just, become vulnerable from my train of thought. I should've know better. Good God, my classroom isn't too far, better yet, 2 feet away. I rushed inside to see my classmates crowding around the 2nd row of seats just by the corner, close to the door. I ended up sighing, giving things a care less. My mind is too busy, focusing on the main task for myself.
"Hey, could you care about your classmate for a second 'Glasses'?"
"No, why should I?"
"You are something else, you damn idiot!"
I ended up sighing once more and taking my seat in the middle row that's toward the window slightly. Without even noticing, I hear books being placed carefully in the seat next to me. Heh, I begin to wonder who's the dared person who wanted to sit next to me. I turned to look into a pair of beautiful mix of red and pink eyes, what's the unexpected is, she has crimson hair as well wearing a male uniform.
She looks toward me with a emotionless face, those eyes were a sign of slight kindness and understanding.
"Darren 'Gold' Mathis?"
"Y-yes, that's my name."
She soon give off a gentle smile that thrown me off quite a bit. It made me release some heat toward my face, forcing myself to blush.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Aki Marie."
She soon lend her hand out for me to shake, and hoping it's not a joke. I became slightly hesistant with a shaky hand while looking at it, expecting it to react. But to see a hair maiden to allow me to shake her hand and not pull away when my fingertips only brushed the side of it. I allow my hand to greet it into a full hand shake, making myself overcome with some happiness.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I hope we can become good partners in the later time."
"Of course, same to you as well. I hope you can accept me for who I am."
"Well after that handshake, I already can say, we'll become good friends in the mean time."
That's when me and Aki shared a smile together. This is the first time I am happy with someone, in fact, also the first time happy with a female my age.
