IN MY HEART
1: When I saw you there
It could be a usual day, painfully resembling yesterday and all the days before. Sometimes it is not possible to free yourself from routine which gives you boring, but always, safety.
Shinji wasn't the kind of person that would risk anything just to color his grey life a little.
The boy slowly opened his eyes. Still the reassuring whiteness of one familiar ceiling. From behind the wall hung with posters, he was reached by the subdued sounds of his mother's striving in kitchen. As he could guess, father was completing the ritual of morning newspaper. The clock was ticking suddenly too slowly and Shinji barely noticed that he was falling in warmth of sleep again.
"Wake up, baka!!!"
Shinji gulped and sighed in the one moment. The red-haired typhoon named Asuka, his charming, wonderful childhood friend was just now hitting and jerking his head. She couldn't resist the great privilage of kicking and abusing him.
"Alright, I'm coming. Just. Stop. It. Please."
Asuka snickered. The disgusted look on her face told him too clearly 'You are so pathetic'.
It was Shinji's turn to snicker.
"Back at you," he muttered.
"You gotta hurry up, moron."
"You're just too nice."
Asuka made a face as he absently wondered, searching through some clothes. Murmuring something like 'Ah, boys' she handed him pants, shirt and packed maths school-book between moments.
"Acting like newlyweds, huh?" asked Yui merrily, cramming into the room.
"Hi, mum," greeted her Shinji monotonously.
"What does that kind of face mean?"
"I have just kicked his ass a bit," explained the girl with a wide smile.
"Enjoy yourself," cut her the boy and entered the kitchen.
"Today is a big day," sang Asuka while running through the crossing on the red light.
"Why?"
"A new student is transferring to our class. His name is Rei Ayanami."
"And why because of that?"
"Aww, he could be the man of my dreams! A quiet, cool guy with a damn good-looking face and his deep eyes revealing his true self only to me. He could sit near me, too. Isn't it romantic?" she squeaked.
"Weren't you hanging out with Kaji? Or is your heart truly given to Yuki? Which declaration should I pick?" replied Shinji in question.
"I'm only speculating. Damnit, hurry!"
They literally rushed, pushing to right and left all people standing in way. One woman set her mouth into a thin line after being punched by Ikari. "Young people nowadays..."
Shinji knew it was too late to brake. A girl running from the corner widened her eyes. Geez.
CRASH!
The boy landed on his face. Swearing under his breath, he slowly got on his knees. Then he finally could see the other partaker of this small collision.
It was a girl, about his age, with quite short fair hair and a bit strange, almost crimson eyes. The school uniform she was wearing was the kind that was used in his school. How come he didn't notice her before?
It suddenly came to him that he was staring at rather intimate part of her body. She blushed furiously and straightened her skirt.
"Pervert!" Without wasting any time, she slapped him on the face. Asuka stood there, merely staring, with malicious grin spread over her face.
"Don't you dare look at my panties!" She turned and started to run, heading towards the school.
"Y'know, it's not only my opinion that you're sick pervert," hummed Langley.
"I feel like killing someone."
"I have to say, that little bitch has character."
That situation was so typical. But what was going to happen, it definitely wasn't the kind of everyday schedule.
They weren't late at all. Everyone sat in the class but it was obvious that the sweet teacher hadn't arrived yet. One of her mottos seemed to be "Time is a relative notion".
"Here she comes!" shouted Kensuke pulling his head out from the window.
Miss Misato gracefully got out of the car, slamming the door. She took off a pair of elegant sunglasses and gave the male part of the class hanging from the window a brilliant smile.
"She's a genius," muttered Toji with wide charming (at least in his opinion) grin.
"Hiya, guys. Let's get rid of the books. It's time for something far better. Relations between people will learn you more than any school book. Haven't I just said something intelligent? Ok, let me introduce you two new students. A cute girl and cool guy. Rei, Kaworu, come please."
In the front of the blackboard approached two teenagers, shyly smiling. Natural reaction-they could be as well loud and annoying.
"My name is Kaworu Nagisa. Pleased to meet you," murmured the boy.
"Hi, I'm Rei Ayanami. I think we can get along," the girl bowed slightly.
One of the chairs was violently pushed away. Asuka stood there, infuriated and almost shivering because of that. She cleared her throat.
"Just WHAT did you say?!" she cried furiously. "You can't be a girl!"
The class was surprised. People accused each other about various things, but finding someone's fault in attachment to one's gender was odd.
"I assure you, that I am a girl. Really. I can show you," she declared in harsh tone.
"Fine. Right here and now, go," teased Asuka.
Katsuragi's eyes widened a little.
"Interesting proposition but maybe not now. It's not the best timing," she emphasized.
"Oh my God. It's that pervert who stared at my panties!" yelled Rei, pointing directly at Shinji.
"Well, well. I wasn't prepared for that," hummed Toji.
"It wasn't me that studied girls' gym lesson," whispered Kensuke.
"Show me someone who didn't and it will be your success," shot back Toji.
"Scheisse. Mein Gott, ich wusste," grumbled Langley.
"Asuka, don't babble in German. You're confusing us," demanded Misato.
"You can't stand it when someone is more intelligent than you?" sniggered the girl, yet frantic from her crumbled illusion about handsome stranger. Rei is a name for both genders, somehow she forgot.
"You will regret this," hissed the teacher.
Meanwhile Suzuhara and Aida were trying to accustom Kaworu with new classmates. Unexpectedly, Rei calmly came to Shinji's desk and eyed him coolly.
"Show me the school. As a way of begging pardon."
"Such a babe asking me a favor. It can only happen in my dreams," gibbered Kensuke gloomily.
Asuka seemed staggered. Not being the center of attention did not fit her at all. Besides, that was the matter of Shinji's attention.
Shinji and his new colleague wandered around the complex. Rei was quite bored- the school looked ordinary. Added to the fact of Shinji being extremely shy with newly-met people- they were both bored.
"You know, let's go get some ice-creams. There isn't much to see here," proposed Ikari finally. Now or never.
"It's my first day and I'm already running off."
Ikari shrugged.
"If it's on Misato's lesson, it will be alright."
They went by the empty class' window and landed on green, spring grass. Light, colorful flowers made a sweet picture. Gazing at the blue sky and fluffy little clouds, Ayanami lie down
"It's better than food."
In total agreement, they enjoyed the view. From a near window, absently staring at an unknown object or looking at nothing, Kaworu Nagisa dreamed away. Of the moment he saw these eyes, so different from other he knew. He was sure that this memory he would count as one of few very special ones.
"When I saw you there..."
TBC.
