Gold

The redheaded middle-school student barely caught a flash of gold out the corner of her eye. She turned her attention back to her test, solving three more math problems before fully registering what she'd seen.

Gold? In the classroom?

Her head shot up. Quickly glancing around the classroom, she didn't see anything that was anywhere near the alluring metallic color she'd seen earlier.

Shaking off the distracting thoughts, she returned to the questions waiting on her desk.

But she couldn't forget that beautiful hue.


As she walked out the door, Momomiya Ichigo saw that wonderful color again. She spun around to discover that the new student, green-haired Ikisatashi Kisshu, was looking at her.

Suddenly she realized just what she had seen.


That night, she dreamed of golden eyes.
