Chapter 2 Avalon High

"Miki…Mitsuki!" A voice rang from the distance. "MITSUKI YOU SLEEPYHEAD GET UP!"

"Uhhnngg…" Mitsuki sleepily opened an eye, seeing Meroko glaring right in front of her. "Ahh!"

"Finally."

"Scary face," Miki grumbled going back under the covers.

"WHAT!"

"…"

"Well school's starting in ten minutes! Hurry up, don't be late! See ya!" Mitsuki burst up.

"DARN IT!" She scrambled around getting ready for school. Within ten minutes, she rushed out the door, running as fast as she could. Drip. Drip. No, please not today, not now, Miki prayed. Just then, it thundered heavily and rain started pouring down. Miki cringed and ran faster. Almost…there… Just then, she tripped. As she was falling, someone caught her. She opened her eyes and found herself staring into someone's eyes. She blinked a couple times and got up, blushing.

"T-thank you." He smiled at her and headed inside the school. Mitsuki stood there for a bit, stunned.

Mitsuki walked into the classroom, drenched. The teacher glanced over, his expression a look of disgust.

"Late. First day," he sternly said. "Name?"

"Kouyama Mitsuki."

"Detention. Room 201." Ahh…how could this happen. She went into the silent room and sat down at the nearest desk. The teacher barely looked up. Mitsuki put her head down on the desk, in a depression. How could this happen.

"Hey…" someone whispered beside her. She looked up sulkily.

"…"

"You don't recognize me?" Mitsuki studied his face blankly. Who would I know in detention.

"…This morning?" She immediately brightened up.

"Oh! Sorry, and thank you for this morning," she said, blushing. He grinned at her. "I didn't get your name."

"Kira Takuto. Yours?"

"Kouyama Mitsuki."

"AHEM," the teacher glared up at them. Mitsuki grinned guiltily at Takuto.

"I can't believe detention on first day," Mitsuki whispered even softer.

"You'll get used to it," Takuto replied casually.

"Maybe you, not me," Mitsuki answered, a bit haughtily.

"EVERYONE DISMISSED," the teacher's hoarse voice rang. "You two." She motioned to come here with her finger. Mitsuki's eyes went wide.

"Detention. After school. Tomorrow," she said coldly and left. Mitsuki bit her lip and began to walk out, cringing. And she tripped.

"I'll see you tomorrow klutzy," Takuto smirked, leaving the classroom. I can't believe I'm starting my year like this… Mitsuki thought on the ground, too embarrassed to get up as everyone filed out.

"How was first day?" Meroko asked, streched out on the couch. Mitsuki and Meroko shared a room in their boarding school, Avalon High. Mitsuki heaved a big sigh, still typing at her assignment. Meroko laughed.

"No Eichi?"

"No Eichi…" Mitsuki replied mindlessly. "…Meroko!" She glared at her.

"How bout you?"

"Oh…nothing important. I'm going to sleep, night Miki!" And with that Meroko left. Mitsuki stopped typing and glanced up from her computer to Meroko, puzzled and suspicious.
