Because you don't look at yourself, you don't know you're beautiful.
And that's what makes you beautiful.

"No. Way..."
Already tired of drumming his fingers against his desk, the raven haired boy crumpled upon the desk when the teacher just about entered the classroom.
"Why is that English teacher still in here?"
Next to him sat a beautiful girl with reddish brown hair. However, it was amusing that most of the boys in the class were not exactly mesmerized by her beauty. Instead, they seemed to be dodgy about even getting near to her. Right now, her expression was rather confused, then smoothed out eventually.
"You've had her in your middle school?"
"Yeah. And she was a hell bit of a nightmare. Ugh." He put his face into his arms when the teacher just started.
"So, in this class, we are basically learning the grammar structures..."
"That's the worst." The voice was muffled inside of his arms. "I'm sure she's not gonna let us rest on first day of school."
"But we've been resting all day." She frowned. "You're seriously lazy when it comes to studying."
"Yeah. Cuz I already know all of this bull-"
"You there! What's your name!"
"Eh-me?"
"Yes, you!"
"Uh-E, Edogawa Conan."
"Edogawa Conan...That's an odd name. Whatever it is, stop flirting on your first day of school. You should know by now that schools are here for studying."
Then, almost all the boys turned around.
Edogawa Conan?
Flirting with the Haibara Ai?
"Yeah, sorry." He winced as he heard the murmurs around the classroom. Then, he stole a glance next to his shoulder and instantly cowered.
It was already famous. The cold glare that paralyzed anyone.
Conan groaned quietly and set his face on the desk, at the opposite direction of Ai.
.
Jeez, time is surely crawling.
It was only twenty minutes after the teacher had entered the room. Yet, almost the entire class was drooling from the lecture. The teacher was making kids come up to the front and sort out the nouns and verbs from English sentences.
Not even taking a word from the teacher, Conan turned his head. Unbelievably, Ai was concentrating on the lecture.
What the hell. I'm sure she knows all this. Her mother is British, for crying out loud. How the heck can she even focus?
Then, he started to take in her auburn hair, which was tied into a short knot at the back of her head. Her usual white skin emphasized the turqouise blue eyes and the pink lips. Conan knew that she must be beautiful, because everybody around him told him so, and were jealous that he was one of her rare friends. He was even next to her when some boys confessed to her in 6th grade.
Years before, he would normally snort quietly. Beautiful. This icy girl?
But heck, maybe he never had looked at her truly at those times. Like he was blindfolded.
Other than her icy glares and glass-breaking tones of voice, her beauty was famous.
And how he felt about that...well,
"Next, Edogawa-kun."
"EEH?"
The whole class burst out laughing at his shoutout. Edogawa Conan. Known as the perfect boy in Teitan Elementary School. Handsome, smart, a great leader, everything. He had been famous. And that fame had been degraded one level below just now.
Even Conan knew he sounded stupid. He sighed and buried his face in his hands.
Right before then, he noticed something.
She laughed. That was rare.
And he noticed something more.
For a second, he froze to think, and then quickly went out to the front and solved the question faster than any other student. With the amazed teacher at his back, he walked triumphantly and sat down. Ai gave him an expression as if he was pathetic.
"Show-off." She muttered quietly.
"Whatever."
He set his face down on his desk again and waited for the dull class to continue.
Then, the bell rang.
It was hilarious how the class, including Conan, almost stood up and cheered after the teacher left.
As though they were pathetic, Ai smirked.
There it is again. Even more clearly.
Suddenly, the room was getting noisy with murmurs.
"What the hell is he doing?"
"He's crazy..."
The next thing Conan felt was something extraordinarily soft at the tip of his index finger. He was shocked to see that his finger was digging into the girl's right cheek, an inch away from her lips.
"What. Are you doing."
The whole class shrank back a little from the low, menacing tone. Conan seemed to be more frightened than ever as he drew back his finger quickly. He looked around the attentive classmates as if looking for an excuse.
"Y-You...have dimples."
Ai's eyes narrowed, as if they were saying Are you mental.
"I-I never noticed. I..."
He quickly set his face in his arms and groaned.
"I thought they were pretty..."
He was so worried, he barely heard the girl actually giggle and leave.
Idiot.
