Before I transferred to Gakuen Saotome I went to a different school. I'm in my second year of high school. It was during my last few days of my freshman year that I made the switch over to Gakuen Saotome.
"I can't believe this is my first day here," I said elated. "I can't believe it. I'm actually here. I can barely breathe I'm so excited." I can finally start towards my goal. I hope one day I can sing with Ren-chan. Today starts my journey towards that goal. I wonder what he looks like now. He really didn't say anything about Gakuen Saotome to me in any of his letters. I know he was here all of last year. Will he be waiting for me when I walk through the gates of the school? I sighed. I giggled slightly.
I couldn't wait to see Ren again. It's been awhile since I last saw him. I've known Ren ever since I was little girl. He was always had a way of finding me whenever I was hiding from someone or something. Ren looked out for me no matter what the cost was. Ren is not only my idol but also like a brother to me.
I walked through the gates. I smiled at the idea that I was finally where I belonged. Why hadn't I taken the entrance exam at the same time Ren did? I could've started on my dream last year and not having to worry about catching up to him. I wonder how much farther he is than me. I sighed again. I smiled at the thought of seeing Ren again after a few lonely years.
I closed my eyes and didn't notice someone right in front of me. I bumped into the person that was in front of me and I opened my eyes. "Sorry," I said. "I didn't notice you standing there."
"You're clumsier than I remember, lost dove," a voice said.
I looked up to see who I bumped into. I smiled when I saw who it was. "Ren-sama," I said. "I was wondering when I was going to see you again. Were you waiting long?" I asked.
He shook his head.
My smile only grew. "I'm glad that I didn't make you wait long Renii-sama."
Ren turned slightly toward the voices were calling his name.
"We were looking everywhere for you," the shy girl out of the group said.
I stood there slightly confused by what was going on. I'm sure that I had big question marks blinking over my head.
I saw that the red haired person looking at me. "Ren who's this?" He asked pointing in my direction.
By that point everyone turned in my direction. I stood there speechless. I didn't know if I should introduce myself or not.
"Kawaii," someone with glasses said. He brought out a camera and started taking pictures.
I went over to Ren's side to try to get away from him. "Ren help me," I whispered.
Ren sighed and wrapped an arm around me.
"It's been awhile Arisu," Hijirikawa said.
"It has," I answered. I smiled.
Everyone looked confused at what was going. Or the fact that Hijirikawa knew who I was, and most likely that I knew Ren and he knew me.
"Arisu?" A blond haired person with a hat asked aloud.
"Yes?" I asked in return.
"Syo what is it?" The girl asked.
Syo? I thought. Does she mean Syo Kurusu?
"I heard that name before. Arisu Fujioka is a really good cellist. She was the only cellist in a competition that I was in three years ago," Syo answered.
"And the fact that I beat you in that competition," I muttered. I glanced over at the blond with glasses. He seemed down.
"Natsuki what's wrong?" The girl asked.
"I missed the competition that Syo mentioned. Next time I won't miss a competition that she's in," Natsuki mentioned.
I smiled at the thought that he would try and be at the next competition. "How good was she?" I asked him. I was curious if he would notice that I was the person that he saw at the competition.
Syo bowed his head in defeat. "She came in first place," he said. "I came in second."
"Second's not all that bad," I told him.
"Ren who is she?" The red head asked again. "Why won't you answer me?"
"Her na-" Hijirikawa started.
"She's my lost dove, Arisu Fujioka," Ren answered completely cutting Hijirikawa off.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Nanami Haruka," Haruka said while bowing.
"Likewise." I smiled at her.
Syo stood there stunned. "You're," he started. "How could you beat me?"
"Well I was smart enough to choose a song that fit my lifestyle," I answered.
"Arisu," Natsuki said getting my attention. "Can I call you Ari-chan?"
I sighed. "I'm sorry but no."
Natsuki became down after I said that.
I am working on the next chapter but I am waiting for a friend to create an OC for this story so bear with me while I'm writing the next chapter. I will be posting the International Academy that I mentioned in an earlier chapter up in a few minutes.
