I don't really think I need to say anything about the afternoon classes. Everyone knows, right? Nothing happened at all. It was boring and plain, as always. After

school, I went back to my rose. Not much would change in half a day, but I wanted to see it. It was my sanctuary, my shrine to protect me from the cruel and empty

reality. At this time, the sky was a bright red, the glowing orange sun hanging in the area above. Walking with the sun ahead of me, I headed home.


When I got home, the first sound that greeted me was my parents screaming at each other. I can never understand them. If you don't get along, why marry? And if

you don't get along after marriage, just divorce already! I walked to my room and slammed the door. They don't notice me. Letting out a sigh, I could still hear my

parents yelling, "That's it! I want a divorce!" and " Just file a divorce already!" If that's what love is like, count me out! I'll stay single forever. I sat at my desk and

pulled out my homework. Physics… Chemistry… and then I was interrupted by the angry shouts again. I put away my homework without doing any of them. How could

ANYONE concentrate with all that noise? I took out my cell phone again and opened the contacts tab. There was no one there. "I will make a friend." I vowed again. It

was seven o'clock by this time, so I went to a random convenience store and had a small dinner. I can't afford any big stuff with the money that I chipped off of my

parents' salary. When I returned home, the sounds had died down. Seems to me that my parents have already gotten tired and gone to bed. I started my homework

again, and I finished at eleven o'clock. Ugh…. I'm tired.


The next morning when I got to my classroom, my sensitive ears caught a few words that others were saying. "Hey, have you heard? There's going to be two new

students coming to our class today!" "Boy or girl?" "I think it's two boys!" "I hope they'll be hot ones!" I could hear the excitement in the girls' voices. I placed my

messenger bag on the back of my seat and sat down. I interlock my fingers and set my chin onto my hands. New students, huh…. Will they become my friends? Or will

they just turn away like everyone else. The air escaped my lips slowly, the second option was more likely to happen. A few minutes passed thoughtlessly without a

trace, and the bell rung. As always the teacher took his place in front of the podium, and speaking clearly into his microphone he announced the arrival of two new

students. Turning to the door, he said, "You may come in." A pair of boys walked in, their steps strong and confident. A blond one introduced himself first. "My name is

Kagamine Len, I'm Japanese-American, and I hope we will get along well this year." The black haired boy standing beside him followed. "I'm Haine Ren, I'm Len's

younger cousin. Nice to meet you." I looked up and noticed that there were hearts coming out of the girls' eyes. My gaze wandered to the two who were still at the

front of the room. Maybe it was my imagination… but Haine-san caught my eye for a few seconds before I looked away. It couldn't be true, right? I mean… no one could

see me… He and his cousin took their seats in the middle of the classroom. Would school life change for me? Or would it just be… the same?


During break time I went to the back of the school again. The entire time I felt someone was always staring at me, but when I turned around there was no one to be

seen. I shook off the feeling and continued my way. The morning dew clung to the small plant, glistening in the sun's light. The bud was growing larger, and what used

to be a faint pale pink grew to a brilliant maroon. Smiling, I stood up, dusted off my plaid skirt and headed back to class. Somehow I knew that if I wasn't in class

today, the teacher would know.


Sitting in my seat, I shifted uncomfortably. The strange feeling of being stared at was back. I looked around, looking for the source of the feeling. When my eyes

scanned across the middle of the room, I caught a pair of gray eyes. They peered out at me from under unruly black bangs. Haine-san… Why does he keep looking this

way? There's nothing to look at… Or is there? I shook my head. It was impossible. Was there a great view here? The teacher called on the person sitting next to me to

read a page of English. We were studying Hamlet, and many people had trouble reading it. Strange enough, I had no problem understanding it. Old English was

somewhat easy for me. The person beside me had quite some trouble. "To be or not to be, that is the ques..tion. Whether tis' noble…" I rolled my eyes slowly, it might

be easy, but it's boring! The teacher finally couldn't stand the reading anymore, and he said, "Alright, the person next to him… Kag..ine- kun?" I couldn't help but roll my

eyes again. Is it really that hard to remember my name? I don't say anything, I pretend that he didn't call me, because in a way, he didn't! He said it wrong, he doesn't

deserve my obedience. A single voice cut through the room. "Teacher, I believe you mispronounced it. It's not Kagine, it's Kagene," Haine-san corrected. Did I hear

right? He just came to this school and he already knew me. The teacher nodded, dumbfounded. "Yes, uh… Would you please continue reading?" I stood up and lifted

my textbook. "Start where?" I asked, tilting my head innocently. "The beginning, 'to be or not to be'" I sigh. "'To be or not to be, that is the question, whether tis

nobler in the mind to suffer the…." I finished reading, and awed silence took the place of the sound of reading. I sat down and smoothed my skirt.

The bell rang soon after, and I raced to my rose again. I could still feel it. I whipped around. "I know you're there, so there's no reason to hide anymore," I say. If he

couldn't hear me, fine, it's none of my business. If he could hear… Will my school life change? Haine-san emerged from behind a wall. "Hello…" He said quietly.
