Author's Note: Here a new chapter begins! Where did we stop the last chapter?

Oh, yep!

"Today we have a new student Miyano Shiho. Welcome her well. Please introduce yourself"

My Destined Girl

.

The New Student

.

Ran was sitting beside Sonoko in that moment, chattering together. She wasn't paying attention to the teacher until Sonoko stimulated her by a gesture to look forward.

Shiho was standing beside Shinichi while the teacher was informing them about the arrival of the new student.

"And who is that?" Sonoko said in a barely audible voice, but Ran was the one hearing it.

"She looks like that Ai-chan. No, she is her!" She couldn't control her voice now.

Ran punched her with her elbow to stop. She was staring at her disbelievingly.

'How can she be so identical?' Ran was perplexed by the thought.

"I told you something extraordinary is going on between those two brats." Sonoko completed, ignoring her first hit.

"Today we have a new student Shiho Miyano. Welcome her well. Please introduce yourself." The teacher stated.

"My name is Shiho Miyano." She answered briefly.

"She is my friend." Shinichi declared, grinning at Shiho. He knew the thoughts spinning in her head by her glance at him; it was something along like 'Why-did-I-obey-this-idiot'.

"Okay then. Have a seat."

Whispers were heard all over the class, saying how cute and hot she looked, as any ordinary boring teenagers would do in such a situation.

Shiho just ignored all of them, and turned to Shinichi who indicated her to sit beside him.

"Relax. See? It was not that hard to deal with." He said as soon as she sat beside him.

"Do you see me pulling my hair like a lunatic?" She yelled at him.

"Oops!" Shinichi grinned.

"What?" She gulped after noticing all eyes in the room gazing at her.

"Well, if you don't know our rules then Kudou-san should inform you,"

",Miyano-san." The teacher completed.

"Gomen." She said, embarrassed by her reckless act.

"Geez. This day can't get worse!" She murmured to herself.

At that moment, she observed Shinichi still chuckling. Consequently, she knocked him with her leg as a warning.

' Why did I bring her with me, again?' He thought, grinning at her childish act.

After having their first class, Ran and Sonoko headed to meet Ai's senior size inquisitively.

"Hey, Shinichi." Ran started the conversation, cheerily.

"Yo Ran, how are you?"

Shiho felt the awkwardness of the situation, but Shinichi assured her with a smile.

"This is my friend, H—"

Shiho cut his words rapidly after recognizing the biggest mistake he was about to inject himself in.

"Shiho Miyano." She completed, giving him a 'watch-out-you-idiot' glare.

Shinichi sighed then Sonoko interfered in the conversation.

"You look oddly the same like a kid we know called—Eh? What was her name again?" She said craftily, turning to Ran.

"Oh yes. You mean Haibara; it's because she's her distant relative." Shinichi answered.

"Obviously, I have a tongue to talk with."

"She has absolutely the same acts like you." Sonoko said in astonishment.

"Well, didn't he mention that we are distant relatives?" Shiho said impatiently, leaving the conversation.

"She's so cold." Sonoko taunted.

", and hot!" Another boy was staring at her, which caused more anger to recollect on Sonoko towards her.

"When did you meet her? I haven't seen her before." Ran questioned Shinichi after they were left alone.

"Umm.. on a case. You know; that case I told you about when I was away." He answered.

"Well, have you solved that big case that made you vanish all that time?" She asked.

"Yeah, you know... It was really complicated." He sighed, remembering all things that happened in the past years.

"But I also know you and that there's no complicated cases for you, Is there?" She smiled.

"Yeah, sure."

They both were laughing, not noticing the pair of teary eyes turning another way.

The teacher of the next class hasn't arrived yet so Shinichi got his chance, and started a new conversation with Shiho.

"How are things going?"

"Great.. The teacher just scolded me and people kept staring. That's all."

"C'mon; don't be so sensitive. Those things happen." he said.

"Fine," She sighed.

After that the teacher entered "I see. We have a new student here."

'How many times should I introduce myself?'

She sighed.

It was the end of the day. Shiho was on her way home when Shinichi stopped her, unexpectedly.

"What?"

"Wait. I will come with you."

"I'm not a little girl anymore, am I?" she said harshly.

"But—"

"Seriously Kudou, Why are you doing all this?" Shiho asked.

Shinichi was confused by her strange question. He has never thought of that. Opening his mouth to speak, but instead the intense silence lingered through them.

"It just hurts me more." She whispered in a low voice that is barely heard. Nevertheless, he'd heard it.

"Haib—"

"It's Miyano Shiho, Kudou. Miyano Shiho." She cut his words stressing on her real name, and rushed straightaway.

At that instant, Shinichi was staring at the spot where she was. Somehow, he felt she was in great pain. Yes, it seemed like she was torn apart inside and her cold cover has faded away after years of pretending.

He didn't know why it hurt him that much when he saw her that way. But he knew it did.

To Be Continued...

Too dense..ha?

Or maybe it is just a boring chapter. Well, I'm most likely with the other choice.

Seriously, I don't have any thoughts these days so maybe the next chapter will be delayed a little bit, but I will surely complete it. So, no need to worry.

I really need your reviews.
