"Class, please meet our new student IA..." our teacher said.
"I look forward to befriending everyone here." said IA with a smile. I immediately felt myself blush. "Cute isn't she?" Len said from my right. "You are not planning anything weird are you?" Rin said while tugging at her brother's ear. Those two never change...
"IA, you will be sitting next to Shunsuke over there" the teacher informed. My eyes widened. Wait... right next to me? I looked at the empty seat to my left. Well it was true that seat has been empty for quite some time, and well it is not like I mind her seating next... wait are these thoughts even mine...
I slapped myself out of it and focused back on reality. "Hi my name is IA, I will be your new classmate from now on so please help me out from now on" she told me with a smile. "Yeah, my name is Shunsuke Shiro nice to meet you" I tried to say it with a straight face but that obviously didn't work, I was smiling my face off. A paper ball bounced off my head and I looked towards the direction it came from. Miku was giving me a dirty look. She obviously noticed me being "nice" to IA.
The classes went fast today, either that or because I was spending most of them admiring IA. She noticed me staring once and smiled, I could have died of embarrassment at that moment.
The bell rang and it was recess again. Miku came to my seat looking ticked off. "How was the view" she asked with a forced smile which made her look like a goblin. It took me a moment before her words registered. I immediately felt myself blushing. "It was nothing like that! I wasn't staring at her!" I denied. "When did I mention anything about IA, if you are acting so flustered you probably did stare at her" she said scowling at me.
Oh joy... I busted myself. I was cursing with quite a few creative words that I probably should not mention for quite a while until IA stepped in. "Is there something wrong?" she asked me looking concerned. "Well..." I answered for a moment till Miku cut in "Nothing is wrong! Why do you even care? It is none of your business". Miku went storming back to her seat. "You are so dense sometimes" Rin said before going back to her lunch.
"Did I do something wrong?" IA asked looking confused. "No nothing at all IA, Miku is just weird sometimes" I replied. "Oh I see" she said looking in Miku's direction. "Well since there is nothing else to do, care to join me?" IA asked. "Join you for what?" I asked with a puzzled expression.
"For lunch of course" she smiled giddily.
