Msanogi: Hi! Here's my second chapter. Actually, it's more like the first. I'm soooo sorry the first chapter was so short! .;;; I didn't mean for it to end up that way but, it did. Thanx for your input Sailor Lone Star. It's really appreciated ^_^x I don't mind constructive criticism. Well enough of my idle banter.let's get to the story! ^_^x

****************** The alarm went off. He smiled, turned it off, and got out of his bed. He walked over to the window and drew the curtains, "My what a beautiful day it is!" He loved mornings. It used to mean he had lived through the night, but he had no reason to be scared now. Now that he was free. He happily went through his morning tasks. Shower, groom, cook, make lunch... Today wasn't any different from any other day. He went to Sakura High. He didn't have any friends. Or acquaintances for that matter. He never talked. He just.

He leisurely strolled to first period. It was close enough to his locker that he never had to rush. He liked that. Rushing was his least favorite thing. It reminded him of how his mom rushed to do everything before his dad got home. He shivered at the though, but soon shook it off , walked into his classroom, and took a seat in the front row. The bell rang not long after that and the teacher walked in. "Hello class, we have a new student today. She just moved here from Okinawa. Her name is Umi Morisato." A girl walked in. She was an average height, and had light brown hair that came down to her chin. She held her books closely to her and stood in the front of the class as she was told to, before she entered the class. "Hello Umi." The class said in unison. She quickly nodded and took the nearest seat to her. "Okay class, let's get working on our lesson for today." Everyone got out their books and started reading the chapter on the board as the teacher explained it. Soujiro glanced at the new girl. He noticed her face was expressionless. Yet she looked a little flustered and if anything he'd say nervous. He could hear Taka and Akira in the back of the room whispering about her. He might've never talked, but he made it a point to know who everyone in the class was, and those two were bullies. Umi turned around and looked at the two boys then quickly went back to reading. Soujiro did the same. He'd hate it if he got a question wrong because he wasn't paying attention. Umi looked over at him. He felt her eyes trying to figure him out and out of reflex he just. He just smiled. ******************* Msanogi: AHHHHHH!!!!! I'm sorry! I know it's short, I know it's short! I'll really try hard to make the next chapter bigger! It's just I REALLY wanted to end this one right there so I couldn't add any more. Anywayz. Don't mind me. I lost my mind a long time ago. Plz R/R. No flames plz. Thx. ^_^x
