The bell rang at Higurashi High. Students went to their respective classes. Hikari went to Class 1-1 and Hinata went to Class 1-2.

At Class 1-1, the teacher arrived with two unknown students. "Class, we have two new students moving in our class today."

Everybody in the class murmured. Hikari gasped when she saw one of the students. Why is that guy here?

"Class," their teacher said to make them quiet. "I'd like you to meet Takeshi Yamamoto."

A guy with a very cheerful aura, black hair and a happy-go-lucky action suddenly spoke. "Hi, classmates!"

"And Hayato Gokudera," their teacher appended.

The guy with white hair and such an annoying expression with a gloomy aura ignored the teacher. He neither greeted his teacher nor his classmates.

"Uh, okay," their teacher said. "Yamamoto, you sit beside Takasu. You will be beside Serizawa, Gokudera."

Serizawa? That's the surname of the girl that we set up at the mall. Is she also studying here? Hayato thought. Hayato looked at Takeshi to see whether he thought the same thing but Takeshi seemed not to notice. Hayato looked at the girl that their teacher was talking about. No. It's not her. The Serizawa that we set up doesn't wear twin tails.

Hikari gasped. Why does it have to be beside me?

"Why?" Hayato said as he said. He seemed to read Hikari's thoughts. "Do you have a problem about that?"

Hikari's face filled with disgrace. She said nothing. Hayato ignored her.
