"Don't you ever look where you're going?"
Walking through the silent empty halls of Kirizagwa Secondary School, Hitomi checked the classroom numbers as she walked past countless doors.
"Finally..." She muttered to herself as she reached class 312, ÔEnglish' it read in big black block letters on the door. As she knocked quietly she heard a bored voice answer the teacher's question monotonously.
The door swung open, almost knocking her over.
"Don't you EVER look where you're going?" Again, those cold dark eyes glared back at her, ÔWhy me?' She thought to herself.
"Ah yes class, this is our knew student from Northern Japan..." The teacher stated, glancing down at his folder for a moment. "... Hitomi.... Kanzaki... is it?"
"Yes, yes that's right," she stammered nervously, barely noticing that Van had returned to his seat at the back of the class.
"Ok, well, why don't you go sit down back there next to Millerna and Van?
"Uh- Okay," Hitomi made her way quickly to the back of the class towards a girl with beautiful blonde hair who was smiling up at her. She tried not to notice the handsome blonde sitting in front of her empty seat and she went to sit down, and ignored the strange glance that Van sent in her direction.
"And so we continue our discussion about Homer's , The Iliad..."
As the teacher began to talk Millerna began whispering to the good looking teenager in front of Hitomi. Van joined in to, and soon Hitomi couldn't clearly understand a word of what the teacher was saying, and barely anything the three of them were saying made any sense to her.
Millerna turned to Hitomi after about 5 minutes of nonstop chattering to ask her if she wanted to come for lunch with them, and what locker number she had. Hitomi accepted, and told Millerna that she wasn't sure but she thought it was 1121 or something like that. The blonde girl beamed, the smile brightened up her face even more, making her even more dazzling.
"Oh wow, I can't believe we have a new student, where do you live? We'll have to hang out, Allen, Van and I'll be happy to show you around. How long have you lived here?
This string of questions startled Hitomi, but she quickly recovered.
"Yea, the people here are really nice so far... I live on Sakura and East Avana St. And I've lived here for... One day." She gave a smile smile.
"Only one day? Wow, so you like it here? We're going to go to a little coffee place down the street from here for lunch, is that all right? Do you like coffee?? -
The bell rang, first block was over.
"What class do you have next?" Asked Allen, the blonde boy.
"I think I have Physics in... Room 456. You?"
"We all have Physics, in that class, cool.
"Sweet..." Millerna clapped her hands and smiled, "I walk with you, my lockers 1125
"Really? Cool." Hitomi laughed at her new friends reaction.
As Millerna and Hitomi stood at their lockers at the beginning of lunch chatting, Van and Allen ran down the hall carrying a football. As Hitomi lifted her new textbooks out of her backpack, Van jumped to catch the ball, and everything seemed to slow down...
SMACK!
"And she's down for the count!" Shouted Allen, not noticing that neither of them had moved.
As the lay there, staring familiarity in the eye, staring each other in the eye, both unable to fully recognize what they had once meant to each other...
"Don't you ever look where you're going?" Hitomi said with a small smile, trying to lift her self up from under Van's weight. He groaned loudly and rolled over,
"Damn books...
Millerna rolled her eyes, "Men, " And all Hitomi could do was laugh as her friend lifted her to her feet.
" I thought we were going for lunch, I'm starving!" Allen said feigning a pout. And so they started their walk through the rain to the local coffee shop.
