CHAPTER 2-FIRST DAY

Shizuru looked out the window of the bus. She felt a major sense of achievement due to the fact that she had managed to persuade her chauffeur to let her take the bus to school alone that day.

She had decided on a quiet and studios profile in her new school. Her choice influenced by the fact that her popularity and beauty as described by her fans-which she did not really see, was the thing that had attracted many and lead to the incident.

She loosened her ponytail and ruffed up her hair to ensure that her fillers had a quarter of her face covered and put on circular rimmed specs to enforce her look. Her glasses had no degree but was thick, ensuring that the wine red of her eyes were dulled. Despite the messy overall look, Shizuru had still looked presentable enough for teacher standards yet nerdy enough to drive students away.

The bus screeched to a stop near her school effectively worsening the messy effect as her head hit the front seat. Shizuru pouted in surprise and embarrassment when she noticed the bus driver staring.

"Hey kiddo, tis' where you alight", the bus driver said gruffly, his thick eye backs explaining the tiredness in his voice.

Shizuru thanked the bus driver and walked out of the school bus with a small huff, determined to forget the whole incident and start anew like how she had done for half her life.

She looked down at her new uniform, checking for flaws. The blouse of her uniform had a band underneath to make it look like it was tucked in and could be capped over her skirt without much trouble. Her skirt was a shade lighter than navy blue and was ironed out with its folds in the right place. The school's crest spotted a lion with a paw up . The lion cradled the school's initials.

"Wtf, check that out, she a nerd or sumtin'?", A 15-looking boy said out loud enough for Shizuru to hear.

"Her skirt's pretty long, plus she actually buttoned the top button .. I thought it was against the school rules. No shit it makes her look retarded", another boy spotting an overgrown Mohawk followed.

Shizuru couldn't help but flinch at the sharp remarks but nevertheless kept quiet and walked on. She fingered her collar and unbuttoned the top button in embarrassment, finally noticing that it was only meant to be buttoned up when you wore a tie for assembly.

She quickened her pace in order to keep a distance from the two boys. Judging from the full white uniform they had, they were from the 'sister' school of the one she went to.

The new school she had enrolled in was an all-girls school. The all-girls secondary school was affliated with another all-boys secondary school. They would then enter the same junior college in future, when of the right age. A 'thru-train' programme that wasn't in the integrated programme scheme.

She kept walking till she had reached the school gate. Beside the gate was the engraving in bold, "FUUKA high school" with the words repeated in a few other languages at the bottom. Taking another deep breath, she stepped into her new second-home.

On the contrary to what she had planned- walking into the school unnoticed and finding her way to the hall with her instincts, many students were staring at her with judging glances. It wasn't a very good welcome and Shizuru couldn't help but look back down at her uniform to check if there was anything amiss.

Just when she was about to growl in irritance when she could not find any logical reason for the stares, a shorter timid looking girl walked up to her and held her hand out.

"Good morning, my name's Yukino Kikukawa, I'm the vice-president of this school, nice to meet you"

Shizuru looked up in surprise and shook her hand lightly, "I'm F-Fujino Shizuru. I uh-".

Yukino let her finish her name in respect before continuing with what she had wanted to say, "Yes, the vice principal had told me that you would be arriving this term, with the sudden new environment it must be quite hard to adapt right? Especially with all these students staring"

Shizuru nodded inwardly thanking the vice-president for approaching her so she wouldn't feel so awkward.

"I'll show you to your classroom, today's assembly starts later and only the year ones attend assembly. We do it in class unless there's a special event", Yukino gave her a kind smile in hope of making the new student feel more welcome.

Shizuru followed the vice-president up the stairs in silence, not knowing what to say.

Half way up the stairs, a broad-shouldered blond-haired girl had shouted out from the top of the stairway, "Yukino! Where's the council president? And who's that girl behind you?"

"She's the new transfer in haruka-chan, as for the council president, would he be in his own school right now?"

Shizuru inwardly chuckled, the student council were members from both the all-girls and all-boys schools. The council president was a distant counsin of hers, Kanzaki Reito.

The girl Yukino had called 'Haruka' made a snort and stomped off, leaving Yukino with a sigh.

"I'm sorry I cant lead you all the way to your class, but just turn right and you'll see the classrooms for your level, then you should know which you would go to, you know your class don't you?", Yukino turned back with a worried frown.

Shizuru gave her a small nod and confident smile before waving her goodbye. *the girl seems really nice, wonder if she would be interested in making friends..*

She stared at the retreating back of Yukino who was running after Haruka with in small steps.

*Ara ara, maybe the both of them has got something on..* Shizuru couldn't help but grin, before dismissing the thoughts. *I shouldn't be thinking like that.. even though this is a girl's school Reito once said that many of them are homophobic*

"What a waste", she whispered with a pout and followed the instructions of the vice-president to her classroom.

"We will be welcoming a new student in class following this new school term, I hope you will accommodate for her well especially when she's transferring in during the crucial year before the exam.", The blond haired teacher spoke after the class greeted her. Pushing Shizuru forward with both hands as a prompt for her to start an introduction.

Shizuru remembered the profile she was determined to keep: quiet, unfriendly and studios. In order to portray the needed impression, she shuffled her feet a little and lowered her head. Whispering out her introduction.

"I-I'm Fujino Shizuru nice to meet you".

The teacher in charge laughed before patting Shizuru on the back, " add some details girl, maybe like why you transferred here, what school you came from, your hobby and all that".

Shizuru tensed up at the mention of the first two questions before relaxing when the third was mentioned. "I enjoy playing the piano and reading, I transferred because the boys in the mixed school I came from was always bullying me", She lied, both the stated hobbies were ones she hated but was forced to do when she was younger.

*Ara, this completes the whole personality* Shizuru thought to herself with a small smile of encouragement. *I can do this*.

She gave the class a pretend force smile and scanned her surroundings giving every classmate a small look over before giving them a eighty degree bow and with that she ended her introduction.

"Let's welcome Shizuru to the class, her last school used to be in Tokyo so she might not be very used to Kyoto", The teacher said, signalling the chestnut haired girl to a seat right in the middle-back of the class.

Shizuru walked to her seat with much ease, happy that she had succeeded in making her 2nd 'nerd impression'.

Sitting down, she heard a few whispers arise from the class, especially those sitting around her. She furrowed her brow trying to figure out what they were saying out of mere curiosity before a girl with black-grayish hair who wore rectangle frameless spectacles walked up to her table and greeted her with a classic smile.

"Hey, ba-" The black-grayish hair girl had said with a wink before trailing off when she saw another brown haired girl with blue eyes turn in her direction.

"forget what I just said", The girl whispered before circling the table of the girl in front of Shizuru and walking back in an attempt to re-do her introduction.

"Hi, my name is Chie Harada. Nice to meet you, I hope that I would get to work with you more in the future as you seem like an extremely nice girl to know".

Chie gave her a small charming smile before sneaking a gaze in the brown-haired girl's direction. When sure she wasn't looking anymore, she scribbled her number on a half torn piece of paper and handed it to Shizuru.

"Keep it, hurry, hurry" She said in a rushed tone hoping the brown-haired girl wouldn't turn back.

Shizuru blinked twice in a faux confused look to further enforce her 'nerd impression' before stuffing the piece of paper in her skirt pocket. She inwardly pouted, if not for the new profile she had wanted to give herself, she would have winked back before keeping the number.

"Good girl", Chie whispered wiping off imaginary perspiration from her forehead.

"Hello, my name is Aoi senoh, I belong to the young journalists club", the girl Chie was staring so hard at said as she came over, holding out her hand for a hand shake.

Shizuru pretended to push up her glasses clumsily before shaking Aoi's hand with the both of hers, once again pretending to look extremely nervous before retracting them back into her skirt pockets.

Aoi smiled softly," You seem really quiet, where were you from?"

Shizuru inwardly jumped, trying to think of a way to get out of the question, she wanted to have the least to do with her past school especially when it was an elite school, which could also lead them to finding out about her nerd façade. Especially when the girl she was conversing with had came from the journalist's club. Which, excluding the computers, where the only place in schools where digging up information was their forte.

Shizuru made a small frown when she remembered what the reporters club had dug up about her when she had first stepped up as council president in her past school.

"I-I-",she pretended to look scared, hoping Aoi would take it as her being too shy and stop questioning.

Aoi looked at the stammering girl and made an awkward laugh, afraid Shizuru would cry if she pushed the question more.

"Have you been to Kyoto? Or is this your first?" Chie said, saving both of them from the now deadly silence.

"Kyoto is my hometown", Shizuru whispered," I lived here till the age of 10".

"Oh cool! So you aren't much very new here huh?"

Before the conversation could continue, Chie and Aoi then pranced back to their respective seats.

Shizuru took up a questioning daze while trying to figure out the reasons for their actions before the sounds of high heels forcefully eliminated the classroom's loud chatter.

"Class stand!", The teacher boomed, before making a small ten degree bow.

The students greeted back with an eighty degree bow, before settling down in their seats again.

Classes had started, letting out a sigh, Shizuru took out the newly wrapped books she had bought, getting ready for class.

After buying an egg and mayo sandwich from the first stall she saw, Shizuru walked quickly toward the hall in order to avoid communication of any way with the other students. After the incident, all she felt like doing in school was being alone, like a cool down period from being a people-person.

The hall had a polished wooden floor and three large fans hanging from the ceiling and a few other small ones at the side for better ventilation. The hall consisted of two levels, the base floor where everybody sat during assembly and the mezzanine floor, a 2nd floor half the size of the base floor which provided a bird's eye view of the stage.

She headed toward the stage and sat on the third step. *Ara ara, the hall really is very peaceful when there isn't anybody around* was what she had thought before she heard the sound of the piano from opposite the hall where a grand piano sat, it's hood covering the musician's face.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she got up and walked toward the piano. Her footsteps echoed across the hall, the hard base of her shoes hitting the floor lightly as she glided gracefully across the hall.

She neared the piano and caught sight of a girl with flame-coloured hair. The girl at the piano stood up almost immediately in shock and stared at Shizuru for a few seconds in silence.

Shizuru looked the girl over once, before meeting her purple eyes. "Ara a-", Shizuru trailed off, thinking no nerd would start a normal conversation with 'oh my'.

"G-good morning", Shizuru whispered, her tone changing instantly.

"Ahaha", the girl gave and awkward laugh and stretched out her right hand," nice to meet you, Shizuru, I'm Tokiha Mai, from the same class as you, I sit beside the window to your right in class"

"Sorry for not knowing who you are, I haven't memorised the people in my class yet", Shizuru said, this time a bit louder and shook Mai's hand.

"Wooaa.."

Shizuru raised and eyebrow in reflex, " Is there a problem?"

"N-nothing, it's just that your hands are reeeaally smooth", Mai exclaimed, loosening her hand from Shizuru's.

"I am flattered Mai-san feel that way"

"what cream do you use? I'm always doing the dishes so my skin's kinda.."

Shizuru made a small smile and pushed up her lop-sided glases, " On the contrary I do not feel so, if Mai-san is always doing the dishes, her current skin condition is great. You must have spent a lot of time taking care of your hands so well".

"R-really?", Mai blushed and put her hand on her cheek," You don't look like somebody who cares a lot about these stuff though"

Shizuru tried to make up an excuse for her knowledge on beauty products before Mai made one for her herself, " D-don't get me wrong, it's just that-I meant that you were very knowledgeable. N-not that you're nerd or anything"

Shizuru was thankful for the orange-haired girl's self-distraction, but inwardly sighed about the latter part of the sentence. *This is in one way or another.. sacrifice. I got to bear with it.. now that I'm actually getting the hang of this profile.. I cant help but not like it when im called a nerd*

The recess bell rang again, signalling the end of the awkward talk and recess.

Shizuru parted ways with Mai and walked off to the direction of the toilet for an image check. She made her way down the long flight of stairs and walked briskly toward the toilet.

There were classrooms on her left and a small garden for the botanical club to tend to on her right. The garden was surrounded by a 2metre fence, plants of every colour were flourishing in the garden. Across the garden in the background was the greenhouse where the plants were kept during colder seasons. Beside the two gardens was a small carpark meant only for teachers.

Shizuru kept staring at the greenhouse in the distance, remembering a few experiences she had with students who she had taken a deeper liking in during chats in the greenhouse of her ex-school.

She broke out of her daze when the footsteps of somebody else invaded the peace in her mind. She looked up slightly, catching a glimpse of a navy-blue haired girl that looked the same age as her. The girl had clean-cut features and emerald eyes. Her face was almost flawless except for a small scar she had on the left-side of her nosebridge.

Shizuru stopped in her footsteps shocked by the sudden jolt she had felt when the girl had walked past her. Automatically blaming the reason for the jolt on the fact that she was pulled out of her daze, she continued silently towards the toilet.

*I wonder if she's from my class too. Better ask her name when the chance to meet her arises again too bad I have to act like a nerd, or it wouldn't be weird to just step in front of her and ask her for her number* Shizuru pouted and continued back in her school exploring on her way to the toilet.
