The black-haired girl stared up at the massive school before her, fiddling subconciously at her pants
pocket as she did so. It wasn't like her to be so nervous, but this was a whole different country, and she
wasn't certain if the French population of the school would be completely understanding of her diferent
nationality.
'So far, so good,' she thought absently as she rounded a corner. "Owch!" The girl felt herself collide
with something and then felt her rear end connect with the ground.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" A boy, apparently the one she had bumped into. His hair was spiked upward
with a purple patch in the middle.
"Geez, Odd, watch where you're going." The girl looked up to see another boy. this one had brown hair
in a fairly normal style. He extended a hand to her. "I'm Ulrich, and mister observant here is Odd."
She took the hand gratefully. "Yumi. I just moved here." Once she was up, Ulrich turned to help Odd.
"Where from," Odd asked conversationally as he brushed himself off.
"Japan...." Yumi said, letting her voice trail off.
"Awesome," Ulrich said. " I'm new here too. You'll have to tell us all about it."
"Sure." Yumi smiled.
"Meet you by that bench after class," Odd offered, and Yumi nodded. "Great! See ya later, Yumi!" The
pair headed off in the opposite direction.
-----
Yumi lounged lazily on the bench while she waited for the boys. Her first day had gone well dispite
the fact that she had arrived in the middle of a semester. The teachers were nice and her fellow students
accepted her presence as just another fact of life. A few others milled about, glad to be out of class but
not quite ready to return to their rooms, dispite the fact that the sun was begining to set below the
distant horizon.
Suddenly the relative silence of the courtyard was broken by an ear-shattering scream. Yumi looked up
immidiately, locating it's source. A girl about Yumi's age, possibly younger, came hurtling out of the
dorms at a pel-mell run. Her eyes were wide with untold terrors, sticking out like dinnerplates from her
pallid skin framed by short-cropped pink hair. None of the other students seemed to notice as the girl ran
across the courtyard towards the school gates.
Yumi jumped up to stop her, but the girl sped by without casting a glance her way. She continued out
of the school gates and out of sight, almost seeming to fade into the distance.
The Japanese student glanced around. None of the others seemed to have noticed the incident, or else
they simply didn't care. Yumi decided that had to be it, because surely no one could have not heard that
scream.
