What the hell, what the hell, what the hell? I must be dreaming. I pinched my cheeks as usual to check if I'm still in the real world. Yup. Pain.

The bell rang, signaling the start of lunch break. Everyone started gathering around Misaki-chan. All of them has their own questions to ask.

"Hey Misaki-chan! Is it alright to call you Misaki-chan? How old are you?"

"Misaki-chan, what city did you come from?"

"What are your three measurements?"

"Do you have a boyfriend"

As they continued their barrage of questions, Aoi leaned to me and whispered:

"I don't like that girl."

"Why?" I asked.

"She takes too much attention. Just because she has perfectly black hair and white skin, doesn't mean she's special."

"Is that all?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" she said. Her eyes aimed at me, seems to try to rip out my soul.

"Well, Aren't you just jealous that she beats you in the breast department?"

"Why you!" She raises her hand and hits me hard on the head. Ouch.

I looked back at Misaki and noticed her bag. Inside were a few notebooks, a pencil case, the usual stuffs a student should bring. I also noticed that she brought lunch with her. Shit, at this rate, she won't be able to eat her lunch on her first day. I charged towards her and elbowed my way past the crowd.

"Misaki-chan grab my hand!" I shouted.

"Eh? Wha-?" she stuttered

"Just do it!"

She grabbed my hand and I pulled her out of the crowd. I also grabbed her lunch and brought her to the rooftop.

"The rooftop? Why did you bring me here?" she asked.

"I figured you won't be able to eat lunch with all those questions aimed at you. Here at the rooftop, you can eat your lunch in peace." I replied.

She walks around, sits at the bench, and says:

"Come on! Sit!"

I walked over and sat down beside her. I gave her the lunch she brought.

"Oh, thank you." She smiled.

"No pro." I said.

She opened her lunch box and started eating. I looked around. Good, there doesn't seem to be anyone who will bother her here. I look up at the sky and watched the clouds.

"Aren't you going to eat too?" she asked

I looked at her and remembered that I left my lunchbox at the classroom. Crap. I told her that I'll just go get my lunch at the room.

"Oh but there's only ten minutes left of the break." She replied.

"Hmm, you're right. If I go to the room and back, it'll take me ten minutes, leaving me with no time to eat at all. Nah, forget it. I'll just eat it later." I said.

"That's no good. Here, have some of mine. I can't really finish all of this." She said.

She handed me an extra pair of chopsticks. I looked at her lunch box and saw quite a selection. Tamago, Tempura, and a few more that I haven't seen before.

"Thank you." I said.

"No, it's nothing." She smiled.

"We haven't been properly introduced have we?" I casually asked. "I'm Kotarou, Kotarou Sorata. My friends call me Kota."

"Misaki Nogami, just call me Misa." She said.

We finished her lunchbox and walked back to the classroom. Gazes are fixed upon us since Misaki is new here. Also, it's hard not to overlook her outstanding beauty.

After class, I called Misaki over and introduced her to Aoi.

"Misa-chan, this is Aoi." I said.

"Ah, I'm Misaki Nogami. Pleasure to meet you." She bowed.

Aoi looked at her from head to toe, then at her breasts, then turned around with a "Hmph!" and walked away.

"Eh? Did I do something wrong?" she nervously asked.

"Nah, don't mind her. She's just jealous since her br- no, I mean she's just jealous of some aspects about you." I replied.

Misaki headed home first since I still had cleaning duty. Somehow, I feel good that I got to talk to her. Maybe that's because I like her so much when I was playing the game in my psp. Wait, what am I thinking? She can't be the person in my game!

After cleaning, I went home. I remembered that I needed to go buy some eggs for breakfast. I headed to the store just a few blocks away.

As I was about to open the door, a hooded figure charged at me, hit me at the stomach, and we fell down together. When I opened my eyes, I saw the hooded figure lost the hood and straddling me now is a cute girl with short red hair. Shocked, she immediately picked the things she dropped and ran off.

Weird. Anyways, I bought the eggs and headed on home. When I reached our gate, I hear a bunch of loud noises inside the house. As soon as I opened the door, numerous men were inside our house carrying stuff from one place to another.

"Uh, Mom, what are all these people doing here?"

"Oh Kotarou! Welcome home! Don't mind them, just come in and do your usual stuff." Mom replied.

Ok, I went straight to the fridge and pulled out a soda. Damn, all these noises are really driving me crazy. I went to my room, lied down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Bang! Crash! What are they doing here anyways?

I changed my clothes, and tried to go to sleep. This time I dreamed of a festival. It was at the shrine. I was walking hand in hand with somebody. I haven't noticed who it was yet because I was busy looking around. When I finally looked, I see a smiling Misaki holding my hand and wearing a Yukata. I blushed hard and she said:

"Enjoying yourself?"

I nodded.

"No need to be so stiff Kota-kun." She smiled. "Come on, I know a great spot here."

She dragged me along into the woods and out to a lake. I asked her why she dragged me here.

"Just wait, it'll start soon." She said.

Together we waited there, holding hands.

"Kota-kun, you'll stay here with me forever right?"

"Of course." I said.

"You won't leave me right?" she asked.

"Yes, I'll never leave you."

She looked down at the ground. I tried to ask her what's wrong when suddenly…

"Look! It's starting!" she pointed at the sky.

PSHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW! BANG!

At the same time, a bunch of small things started lighting up. Fireflies. I was speechless at the beauty of this. The fireworks and fireflies dancing around, their lights reflected at the lake. I looked at Misaki when she suddenly leaned her head on my shoulder. She looked at me, drew her face closer to mine, and when our lips were about to touch…

I wake up. The noises have stopped. How ironic. Just when the noises stop, I wake up. I walked to the bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror. I slapped myself awake and headed down. It was kinda hot I told my mom I'd prepare the bath. As I walk to the bathroom door, my mom shouts:

"Wait! Kotarou!"

Too late. When I opened the bath door, I see a naked girl, with long black hair, soaping her back. I continued to stare. I closed the door then waited for ten seconds. I opened the door again. She's still there. I close the door again and started thinking. Wait, isn't that Misaki-chan? I opened the door for the third time to check if it really was her. This time, she spoke:

"Could you please stop peeking? I can see you, you know?"

"AAAHHH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NAKED IN OUR BATHROOM?" I shouted.

"We'll talk later! Just get out!" she shouted angrily as she threw a basin at my face.

BONK!

I ran upstairs to my room and tried to process things. What is she doing here? Why is she taking a bath in our house? Wow, she's really beautiful. Her skin was so white, and she looked so angelic. Wait what am I thinking? She shouldn't be here!

"Kotarou! Come down here for a while!" mom yelled.

I ran down the stairs and to the living room where my mom and Misaki were seated. I continue to look at Misaki while my mom says:

"Kotarou, I'm sure you've met Misaki. She's attending your school from now on."

"Yeah I know that but why is she here in OUR house?" I asked.

"My dad is one of your dad's colleagues. When your dad found out that I wanted to go to this school, he immediately offered to let me stay with you and your mom. My mom readily accepted seeing this as an opportunity to save some money." Misaki said.

You've got to be kidding me.
