Chapter 2:
I quickly belt through the door, not realizing that I forgot to lock the door. I was already half way down the street before I remembered that my door was left half open. "Shit." I murmur to myself. Class begins at 8:15, And it was already 8:03, so I couldnt possibly have any more time left. I continue to race down the sidewalk, hoping that a neighbor would shut it for me. (As idiotic as that plan might be.)
Wow, I'm more stupid than that tree over there.
When I finally make it to school, I shove through the double doors and race up the stairs. I run into class, B54, skidding to a hault. I look at the clock. How was it already 8:26?! Everyone sat motionless, eyes on me. I could feel eyes burning from the back of my head. "Kirigaya Kazuto." The teacher spoke coldy. "Your late. Sit down."
Ugh, I Always hated our teacher.
I seat myself at my desk slowly, still feeling eyes burn at the back of my head. "Before we were rudely interuppted..." The teacher continued. A few students smirked. " Tsuboi Ryoutarou was citing chapter 6." In case if you were wondering, Tsuboi Ryoutarou, (Klein for short,) Has been my best friend since day one. I've known him since kindergarden. A kid pushed him at recess and I happened to be in his way. We both collided, (which I still remember not feeling too nice,) and landed on the concrete. Of corse I was the only one who was sent to the nurse afterwards because I acted as his cushion. But I still remember that the very next day that same kid got expelled for cussing the teacher out.
Ah, memories... Neither of us has seen that kid since.
As soon as class was dismissed for lunch break, I wasnt suprised to hear a framiliar voice shout, " Yo, Kirito!" from across the courtyard. Klein runs beside me and finds himself a seat to the left of me, where he always sat. " Sup? What's the excuse for bein' late this time?" He says, biting into his Onigiri. " Oh, no reasom..." I said, trying to change the topic.
Then I saw her.
The cloaked girl speed walked- almost ran past us, her scent of cherry blossoms following her. Even though all I could see was her dirty blonde hair hanging out of her hood, I still thought of the strange girl as incredibly beautiful. I felt like an idiot for staring as she walked by, but I just couldn't help it. Not watching her was impossible to me. Klein only glanced at her and continued his rant, but immediatly stopped.
"Ooohh...You like her or somethin?" Klein proclaimed. I didnt know what to say, so I just shook my head and continued eating my lunch.
