School, the dreaded day had come that Claus Valca couldn't possibly stand. Though Alvis in her usually bright mood shook him in his entanglement of sheets until he rose from bed. He groggily smiled at her, "Good morning Al," she beamed and held out breakfast.

"F-for me?" The blond asked, she nodded and watched him as he popped a sausage in his mouth. Nearly choking the food as he swallowed from his lazy tongue Claus made his way to his closet. Now, what to wear for his first day at college?

Pondering over the choice of clothes a clump of clothes hit the side of his head, sure enough Lavie stood at the doorway. "Hey Sleepy Head, you're up early! Here's the college uniforms, aren't they just great?!" She squealed, Alvis and her both glared at Claus. "You need to learn how to laugh...," and with that, she left.

A uniform for college, what type of school is this? Sighing he put on his outfit, a gray sleeveless shirt that was way to small, Al must've done the laundry.... And long gray trousers, a beautiful, majestic bird was sown in on his shirt.

"So this is it," He said aloud, looking at the boy in the mirror, combing out the tangles in his blond hair. Now all he had to do was eat some toast and eggs and he was out. Just the thought of a new life brewed up his anxiety.

--

With not a minute to lose he gobbled down the food on his plate, licking the syrup on his fingertips. Taking hold of his suitcases he grinned, knowing by some rare 'luck' Lavie and him would share a room together.

"Lavie?" Claus called, looking about the house saw that she had left along with Alvis. That meant the car was gone, groaning he made his way to the college ten miles from home on foot.

--

The walk was tiresome, but he couldn't give up, sweat trickled down his once clean face. A sound of rickety wheels came from behind him, along with a startled cry, and another pleading to whoever it was.

Ignoring the sounds from behind him he carried on down the barren street of the early morning.

"INCOMING!" The voice cried, before he knew what hit him ( which was the person of course) he found himself on the street floor, with a bloody nose and bruises.

"Watch where you are- -" He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, a body lay sprawled feet away from him, covered with deep scars. Claus shaking terribly, hobbled over to the figure, it wore a schoolgirl's uniform.

"Oh man... I collided with a girl? Great.." Kneeling over he lifted the girl's head on his lap, brushing away white locks he saw a pale unconscious face. "Breath, darnet... come on move! Do something! Anything!"

Placing his hand on her chest he saw it was completely flat, blushing crazily he went back on concentrating to see if there was a heartbeat. There was, but it seemed irregular, and she wasn't breathing at all. Looking up to the skies he sighed, "You owe me for this."

Slowly Claus opened her mouth, plugging her nose he breathed into her, he did this for quite some time. Finally, when he was close to being breathless a hand squeezed his cheek...and that brought terrible pain into his cheek.

"Hey!" He said in reply to the girl's actions, nearly coughing out his words. Looking down he saw wide hazel eyes looking right at him, it looked as if she was holding her breath. Claus tried to make her stop but she would slap him when he drew near.

"Sir," A voice said worriedly from behind him, a very fit looking guy looked right down at him. He was speechless, feeling his stomach flip he could already feel nauseous.

"I-I'm terribly sorry, this must be your girlfriend," Claus saw a look of enrage and utter shock on the blonde's face. His hazel eyes angrily glared at him, it felt as if he did something terribly wrong. Giving C.P.R. to a girl he didn't even know.

"Come on, we're leaving," The boy said to the schoolgirl that now had puffy cheeks along with a blue face. He took her by the hand and the two walked off, with heavy luggage in the man's hand. Claus angrily mumbled to himself, picking up his own belongings. Following the two figures until they were out of sight.

--

The college was right before him, Claus could barely believe that this was it. This is when he would really prove how great of a vanship pilot he was, maybe even a captain someday! The ideas and thoughts filled his mind.

"Hello," A voice said to him in a whisper, turning the same girl he saw earlier looked at him. Her cheeks flushed red, the blond smiled seeing that she at least came to thank him. Instead she just stood there, not a sign of the man with her in sight.

"Well," Claus began, but before he could all that was left of the girl was a white rose, he stood there puzzled. These people he had just begun to meet here were strange.

--

Room 715 was before him, with the card for his room in hand he swiped the card across the slit on the door. With a slight buzzing the door opened, finding himself face to face with that girl again, bent over unpacking her things.

"Hello," She said again, a man with white hair and a braid falling to his chest glared at Claus, nearly swallowing his tongue he smiled nervously.

"It's nice to meet you," Being polite he bowed, looking up to see her giggling, the man had left and he stood idiotically at the doorway bowing.

--

Claus sighed, what a day it had been. Before he could even think about the next day to come he saw the bathroom doorknob turn. Shutting his eyes tightly he knew girls hated to be looked at after stepping out of a shower.

"He's asleep," He heard her whisper, her warm breath caressed his cheek. Hearing her walk off to the other side of the room Claus opened his eyes but to see a guy wrapped in fine, rich towels, he gaped screaming aloud.

"What are you doing in my room? Where is that girl?!" Claus cried, throwing his pillow at the man he saw he caught it. With a smile slowly crawling upon his face he laughed, pointing at him suddenly.

"I am Dio Elaclaires! Your new roommate!" Blowing a kiss toward Claus Valca's way he ran to the bathroom.

SHE WAS A MAN?! Claus thought as he stepped out into his room, feeling sickly ill from, well he wished not to think of it.

That Dio boy was standing right in the center of the room, looking right at Claus, giving him a really girly wave and grin.

"Why did you...dress like a girl?" Claus could only find himself to say, without a reply the strange carefree boy left the room.

The door opened once more and he saw him once again, "Thanks," Dio disappeared and he followed, standing in the empty hall.

"Why?" He asked again to nothing...

"I came here, to actually begin a new life," Claus turned and saw Dio once more, " You can say I ran away from home, I just chose the first thing I thought to escape. From her...."

Then the white haired boy walked down the hall, closing his eyes for just a mere second he was gone.
