*Karin's POV*
I watch as Sensei continues to teach and then get interrupted by a person asking how I'm used to my life being an orphan. Yes, it's Shin.
The bell rings and I sit there wondering what it is. Everyone started running out of the classroom. Kiyoshi walks over. "Hey, it's lunch time! Why are you still here?" He said rubbing my hair.
I take out my bag and open a boxed lunch. Kiyoshi sits on Shin's desk and whistles as I open it showing rice balls, two drum sticks, and some shrimps on the side. I look over at Kiyoshi and laugh as he drools over my food.
"Damn that looks good!" Kiyoshi wipes his drool and grins.
I pick up a shrimp with my chopsticks and show it in front of his face. "Here, have it."
Kiyoshi pretended to cry and after he ate the shrimp he hugged me.
Jumping up and down with joy and with me in his arms. "Thank you, so much for the food!"
I smiled. "It's just only shrimp."
He stops jumping and puts his hands on my shoulders. "But you have no idea how crazy it is in high school."
We stared at each other and then. "You're just like a lost child in a mall." Kiyoshi smirked.
I flicked his forehead. "I'm the same age as you, idiot!"
Kiyoshi rubs his forehead. "Anyways, my other friends are wondering where I am. Want to come?"
I shook my head no and smiled to him. "I'll meet them next time. "
"But-" He didn't finish, because I started pushing him to the door. "It's okay just go to them!"
Kiyoshi walks away and waves to me. I wave back. As he disappears from the steps of the stairs, I packed up my stuff and walked out to find the rooftop. I walked down the halls and walked up the stairs, until at last I found myself on the rooftop. I open and close the door. No one around. I walk all the way to the end of the rooftop and sat down with the fence behind me.
A gash of wind slashed through my skirt and showed my pale skin. I set my boxed lunch on my lap to stop my skirt from flying around.
"Nice panties."
I blushed and looked around to find who said that.
"Up here, stupid girl."
I look up. There, I see Shin sitting on the roof above the door that I walked out of. I glared at him. "What are you doing here?"
He puts his hand in his pockets and just glares back. "Because I eat up here during every lunch time."
I ignored him and try to continue eating my rice balls. Everything was gone and then I lifted the box up and see that there's a strawberry cake in it. I smiled, until I saw a hand grab the box with the cake in it. Shin holds the box high over his head.
"Shin!" I stomped over him.
"What? I just want the cake." Shin laughs as I try to get the box with the cake. We continued to play this game until Shin gave up and then gives it to me. I stuck out my tongue. "Meany."
I twirl around and then accidentally trip on his foot. Shin quickly catches me with his arm and smirks. "Nice move."
"Shut up, Shin." Then I look up. The cake splattered on my black hair and part of my forehead.
Shin laughed and takes off the box and gave it to me. He walks away and waves without looking at me.
"Thanks for helping." I said trying to wipe the cake off. I sighed. "There goes my favorite cake."
"What happened to you?!"
I look over at the rooftop's door and see a girl with blonde short hair and Kiyoshi standing next to him. I try to smile, but frosting almost got in my eyes. The girl walks over to me and wipes the frosting off my face.
She folds napkin and puts it in her pocket. "Are you okay?"
"Karin." I said.
"Misa." She smiles and puts out her hand.
My eyes went wide. "You're that Misa?!"
Misa looked confused. "Wait, 'that Misa'?"
Kiyoshi didn't let us continue and grabbed my arm. "Okay, good introductions, but we have to get your hair washed up."
The three of us went down the stairs, until we reached the back of the school. Kiyoshi turned on the faucet of the place to get free water for wetting towels during P.E. As I start rinsing my hair, I look over at Misa. Ryuk described her well thought and she looked exactly like her. Blonde kind of short hair, brown creamy eyes and a cheerful well free personality. If she's really Misa, then why is she in here? She's too old to be here! Well same for me, but my story is different.
Misa walks over to me, as I dry my hair with a towel that Kiyoshi and smiles at me weirdly. "Can I play over at your house?" Bending down to make me feel mad about my height. Which it did.
My eye twitched as she smiles more. It's like that stupid smile I got form those maids at the cake shop, when I first got here. "No, you can't, because it's busy over there."
"Awe and I was so forward to go though." Misa wine.
Just then, I noticed that she wasn't wearing the school uniforms. I point at her and then looked at Kiyoshi. "Who is she?"
Kiyoshi smiles and puts his arm over Misa's shoulder. "She's my older cousin that came here to visit me on my first day of 2nd year of high school."
They both smiled at me. I try to smile back.
The bell ranged and Misa said good bye to me and Kiyoshi. When she left, Kiyoshi and I ran up the high stairs to our classroom.
We made it before Sensai came in ready for another lesson.
I looked out at the window and started to daydream. Not noticing Sensai talking to me.
"Karin?"
I jerked up and stand up with the book that Sensai gave us. "Yes?"
Sensai pushed up her glasses. "Read page 15, just the top three sentences."
I sighed. "'As I watch the stars. They sparkled like my lover's eyes. Why do I miss him?'"
"Thank you, you can sit down now."
I sat down and heard a squish noise. I looked down and see a jelly filled donut splattered on my skirt. Sensai noticed it and then looked at Shin. "Takashinguo! Detention after school!"
The bell ranged and school was over. Shin easily passed Sensai in the crowd of other teens. When everyone was gone out of the door, Sensai shook her head and gave me a towel to clean off the chair and my skirt.
I said my goodbyes to Sensai and then to Kiyoshi at the front gate.
I walked back home sadly. 30 minutes later I find myself apologizing to the kids that I said I'll get them lollipops. I walk up the stairs and bump into Mr. Hugui.
"Welcome back, Miss Karin. How was your first day at high school?"
"Perfect." I whispered and ran upstairs to my room.
I jumped and landed on my bed crying. "Why does Shin have to be so mean?!"
"Who's Shin?"
I look up and see L eating a chocolate candy and clicking the laptop with only two fingers. The pointer fingers on his hands.
I grab the nearest pillow and muffled. "Some boy, who's bulling me."
L looks over at me and my situation. He sighed and closes the laptop. I look up and see L giving me a chocolate pocky stick. I move my face away from the tear dropped pillow and take it. "Thanks."
I take a bite. I smiled at the taste of chocolate melting in my mouth.
L leaned on his arm, closed his eyes, and smiled a little. "Tell, be about this Shin guy and your first day in high school."
I smiled with joy. I can't hide anything from L. L has been there for me and cares for me when I'm down. Even though high school is hell, it's alright when you're here.
L, I might have fallen in love with you.
