I sat in my room after eating a very small dinner; well that's what I got for being a no star, I had just entered into the academy so what would I expect. I pulled out my cell phone that was given to me before I came here, no one knew I had it, it was prohibited for some reason. I sighed, looking through my contacts for someone to call, but the only numbers I had were my parents and his.

I ran my fingers through my hair after I tossed my phone into the pillow. What was I supposed to do I felt so alone here. It was strange, this place was really different compared with what I was used to and there was nothing to do. That was until someone knocked on my door.

I went over and opened it to find some guy wearing a mask. He was strange, the mask made him look like a raven.

"Touya," he told me, "come with me, I'm one of the teachers here."

Not really knowing what to do I grabbed my robe because the pajamas I was wearing were really inappropriate to be wearing in front of a teacher, not to mention a male teacher.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Persona," he picked up his pace. "We don't have much time, we have to go."

I stopped because there was no way I was going to do something for this teacher if he wouldn't tell me, "Hell no, tell me first."

"Touya, let's put it this way, you don't do what I tell you," he turned around and was inches from my face, "you will be eating like you did today and you won't earn more than five rabbits for your allowance unless you do what I tell you."

I crossed my arms contemplating which sounded better. Honestly, I wanted to know the consequences first before acting on either of the choices but seeing it as my choices were limited I had no choice, "Whatever."

That may have been the worst thing I had ever done, little did I know that by saying that I was going to become a tool for the Japanese government, nor did I know that my friend from class that I had just met this morning was going to be my partner, Neon Shiki. Really, I guess it was worth it to the point of being a special star student because that is what I got for doing this.

I sat at a table next to Neon who now wouldn't even glance at me for some reason and when I tried talking to him he just brushed me off. I guess that's what really set me off about the whole situation.

Just when I was about to walk out of there Persona used my surname again, "Touya, Shiki, your next assignment will be in a weeks time," he paused looking at Neon, "You have already got everything set up?"

"Yes," Neon didn't sound very happy, probably because he was woken up this late at night or just mad that I was his partner went through my mind.

"You two are dismissed," Persona waved us off.

Jeez, if sitting through that little meeting was torture, then Neon walking me back to my room was hell, he wouldn't say anything to me at all. I nervous because of the cold look on his face, so really how was I supposed to talk to him? My mind was in different directions, how was I going to talk to him, even if I did talk to him what was I supposed to say, would he yell at me or give me that cold stare.

"Umm," I started to say but was cut off when he turned to me with that cold stare.

"We can't hang out tomorrow at lunch," he told me.

"Why not?" I asked quietly.

"We just can't."

That was it if he would explain why he was like this I was going to give him a piece of my mind, "You know how can you act like you like me one minute and hate me the next," I got quieter and started crying, "that's what he did." I couldn't stand it, I ran to my room and cried until I fell asleep.

The next morning I didn't want to get up for many reasons, the first was because once again a guy seemed to have started liking me and next he broke my heart. The second reason was because of Tono, that pervert. Another was because of the class I had this morning, math and from what I have heard is that the math teacher is really mean.

Despite the fact that I was still puffy from crying last night I got out of bed and went to eat breakfast. I sat at an empty table and quietly ate my food. That was until a girl with blonde hair, violet eyes sat down next to me. She was even shorter than I was, my guess around four foot eight.

"I noticed you were sitting alone, would you like some company?" her voice was really adorable like a childs but this was the high school dorm area so she had to be in high school.

"Sure, I'm Serina Touya and you are?"

"Ayako Caniyama," she said, her violet eyes shinning. "Are you okay, because it looks like you were crying."

"I was last night but please don't ask me what it was about it's really embarrassing," I smiled at her. "Sorry to seem rude what is your Alice?"

"I can control emotions in animals and people, would you like me to demonstrate?"

"Sure."

She tripped the next girl who walked passed us and the girl fell face first into her food. I knew better than to laugh because it wasn't funny. The girl stood up fuming with anger.

"Why the hell did you trip me Ayako!" the girl yelled in her face. Then she suddenly seemed to calm down. So that was Ayako's Alice. It was strange but really cool.

"Because, I was demonstrating my Alice to Serina Touya, Serina this is Kira Hart, her Alice is turning invisible," Ayako explained, "She's not allowed to use it as often as I can use mine, so they restrain her Alice with that bracelet she's wearing."

Kira was taller than me so I took her to be five foot five, she had red hair that were in ringlets and had hazel eyes, she looked liked she worked out too.

"Anyways," Ayako said grabbing my hand, "we best be off to class right Kira?"

"Yeah, that math teacher is really scary and I don't want him taking away one of my stars." That's when I noticed Ayako had two stars and Kira had three. I felt sorry for them because I got to eat this meal that could feed a army and they had just enough to feed themselves and maybe one other person.

With that we hurried of to class, my worries about that guy and Neon completely forgotten, at least until I would see Neon next.
