Arisa's weekend was uneventful aside from staying over at Hikomi's house because her brothers creepy friend was coming over. The friend that liked to hit on her at every chance he got. She shuddered just thinking about it.

Hikomi and her stayed up late watching movies and eating popcorn and pizza. They were judging the new place that had opened nearby. Arisa decided to tell Hikomi about her missing flute and Hikomi was as clueless as Arisa along the lines of what to do.

"Neh, maybe you could ask Ms. Carina if you can rent one?" Hikomi had asked.

"It's not really about the lack of flute to play. My dad gave me this flute. Or at least he left it behind. I don't want to be dramatic but it's all I really have left of him, you know?" Arisa's father had left, understandably knowing her mother, when she was about 3. They had been contacted of his death when she was about 5. There was certainly a lot of bad blood between the two, but her mother had still cried.

Hikomi was the only one who would even talk to Arisa if they weren't going to verbally abuse her so Hikomi was the only one Arisa ever confided in. Most people thought her father had been arrested or run off with someone else.

She spent Saturday and most of Sunday with Hikomi, helping her understand algebra and watching movies, eating, gossiping, and mostly trying to figure our the mystery of the missing flute. It was pretty comical watching Hikomi yell at a piece of paper but Arisa still worried.

Then it was over and it was Sunday night, Arisa was in bed, thinking. She would have to tell Ms. Carina about her flute, or lack thereof.

Arisa woke Monday morning from a dreamless sleep, she has gone to bed late, depressed about her flute and the fact that her brother and mother honestly hadn't touched it. They were both bad liars so she could tell they hadn't. Plus, her mother had been out of town the night it had presumably disappeared and she had no idea where her brother had been but he wasn't home. Her room was light and she practically screamed when she looked at her clock, school started in 10 minutes and she had just woken up! What had happened to her alarm clock?!

She dashed, up skipped a shower, dressed quickly, combed through her hair and put it in a messy ponytail. Then she dashed downstairs, slipped her shoes on and ran at a full sprint towards school, unfortunately, Arisa was somewhat clumsy, so she tripped a few times, slowing her pace. She managed to skin her knee too, even through her pants. Probably because she was running.

She made it to class exactly 2 minutes before it started, panting and receiving a harsh glare from her teacher. She noticed that one of the exorcists had been assigned to this class first period and that her seat was the one next to his.

That'll be distracting, she thought as she took her seat next to the white haired boy whom everyone else was attempting not to look at.

Arisa almost cringed at her next thought, they were doing partner reading this period and since there were 4 desks to a row, she would be paired with the exorcist kid. She respected them but they also kind of scared her because he couldn't be much older than her and yet they were off fighting akuma and trying to save the world and that would require some specialness right?

After a minute, her thoughts brought her back to the real world and the lesson which was basically Ms. Tora explaining how to fill out the assignment paper. Then the designated people passed out the books and They were paired with the person next to them.

The exorcist boy smiled and introduced himself as Allen, Arisa smiled back and told him her name. It was surprising to find that they read at the same rate, well almost. Arisa finished about 10 seconds before he did but both were finished easily before anyone else. They shared the paper, quickly filling out the questions, not requiring a lot of brain power. Arisa somewhat wondered what had happened to her usual partner but then shook her head, clearing the thoughts away.

After finishing, and turning in the paper, Arisa turned away and began doodling random things on her notebook. The boy just sat and watched the rest of the class as they slowly began finishing and starting to work on their papers. Arisa's doodling turned into a small ball with wings and a tail with a puff on the end. It was odd because she had never heard of or even seen something like it. She erased it off of her notebook, not wanting to look like a freak and then started humming the tune from yesterday, which she still hadn't gotten to play due to lack of flute. She kept it quiet, not wanting to bug anyone nearby as the white haired boy continued his scan of the room, his eye lingering nowhere and on no one. Arisa wondered what he was looking for and why.

Arisa had just started reading her personal book when the bell rang and it was time for Science. The white haired exorcist followed her into the Science room and went up to Mrs. Agnes . This time he sat in the little section of empty seats in the very back which was open because the AP Science class wasn't very full. Mrs. Agnes passed out the test they had been studying for and said anyone who finished early could do whatever they wanted and quote, 'as long as you don't bug me'. Arisa rolled her eyes, she hated Mrs. Agnes. The exorcist wasn't taking the test because he was just starting so he started writing on a piece of notebook paper.

Arisa took around 20 minutes of the hour long class period to finish and double check her test. Then she turned it in and began reading. Two more periods until lunch, Gym and then Math. She really was dreading 6th period and Ms. Carina finding out about her missing flute. Ms. Carina would probably give her detention but Arisa couldn't just hide the fact that her flute was missing.

Gym was the running test which Arisa did fairly well on, managing to run for 43 minutes total out of an hour. Arisa wasn't fast but she had pretty good stamina. In actuality, she could out last anyone but she was arguably the slowest person in class. The white haired exorcist was in this class too and he ran for almost the whole time, then again, as an exorcist he must have excellent endurance..... Most people watched in envy as the short, skinny white haired boy ran around the track only breaking a light sweat while most of them were walking every five minutes. There were only 3 people who ran within 10 minutes as long as him. Arisa, Karl, the track star, and Sera who was also in track and gymnastics. They ran fast and for a long time while Arisa just kind of jogged but kept up a stable, quick pace.

The run ended and they all went back to the locker rooms before departing to 4th period.

As she entered, Arisa saw the white haired boy was also in this class. He sat on the opposite side of the room from Arisa. She was beginning to notice that none of the teachers ever addressed him for anything.

Finally lunch arrived. Arisa sought out Hikomi and found her waiting outside the doors of the cafeteria.

They sat in their normal place, like a giant bubble was around them, no one ever approached. They laughed at it sometimes. They were people repellents. Or at least Arisa was. They opened their lunches and began eating while Hikomi yammered on and on about how hot the red headed exorcist with the eye patch in two of her classes was. She asked if Arisa had any of them in her classes.

"Yeah, the white haired one, Allen I think he said, was in all four of my classes so far." She said nonchalantly. Hikomi smiled, apparently everyone was secretly crushing on Lavi, the red-headed one.

Arisa scanned the room and found the three exorcists looking for a place to sit, please not here, please not here, please not here she mentally begged to no avail as the three walked over and sat at the other end of the table. Hikomi looked thrilled, Arisa, not so much.
