Chapter Two.

Rin's POV

"Let's go then." It's the first thing I say as I walking in. The others looked really surprised as we walked in together. I guess they really don't recognize her. As we down, I hear someone whisper to Nozomi that she has to do a self-introduction.

"No I don't, I'm not new. I have always sat here since we started, Ayumi-chan." This is the reply Nozomi told her. You go girl. I think, proud that she is finally standing up to others after all this time.

"Yumehara-san, Azuwa-san, no whispering in class please." Coco calls out from the front of the class. Looks like today is going to be a long day. Everyone has a massive shocked look as if to say 'That's Nozomi?!'. "Does it matter if she wears her hair down every now and then?!" Kurumi yelled at them. They nodded for some reason. That's it. I don't know what but their response just made something snap inside me.

"So what?! She has her hair down! Big deal, get over it! We don't complain or act shocked when you guys change your hairstyle every time you do. So why should you do this towards Nozomi?!" I exclaim, taking a stand for person that taught me to smile. They all looked at me. Good I have their attention.
Just as I was going to yell at them some more, I feel someone tugging on my hand from behind me. I turn to see Nozomi shaking her head.

"Stop it, Rin-chan. It's fine" She tells me. I retort with saying it's not fine and they shouldn't treat her this way. I'm not calming down until they learn that they shouldn't judge like that! I scream in my head.

"It's definitely not alright, they shouldn't treat you like you're someone your not just because of this small difference." I guess that set her off as the next thing we all knew, she was running out the door before anyone noticed. Well, all apart from Coco.

~Ten minutes later~

"We definitely over did it, Rin-chan." Kurumi says as she looks up to see what we had to do. I nod in agreement. Hearing the door to the classroom open, everyone looked down to see if Coco had come back, yet we looked to see if either of them had come back. But we saw Syrup.

"Can Natsuki-san and Mimino-san come with me please. It's quite urgent but we do not know how long it will take so I suggest bring your stuff with you." He shouted, making his voice louder than usually. "

"Why do we need to go with you Shion-san?" Kurumi shouted back making herself heard. He retorted saying that he wasn't going to tell us but since we asked, he shall. It's about Nozomi. Grabbing our pencil cases and bags, we run down the steps towards him whilst trying to shove them in our bags. We didn't imagine that he would have a smirk on his face when the classroom door slammed shut.

"Knew that would get you down here, but seriously what happened to Nozomi-san. Why did I see Coco running after her?" He asked us inquisitively.

"Well, when we went into homeroom someone told Nozomi that she needed to do a self-introduction. But obviously she doesn't because she's been here since the end of the first year." I started but they cut me off.

"Wait, Nozomi's a transfer student? From where?" They started asking at the same time.

Continuing, I say "That's a story she needs to tell you guys herself. Syrup, where is she?"

I turn to face the cafeteria, where i saw some pink. There she is. "Nozomi, you have to go back to class." We can hear Otaka-san saying to her. She ends up shaking her head violently. She really hates this side of herself as always then. We were about to call her when we saw Coco running towards her. "Cocoda-sensei aren't you meant to be teaching? Do you know what's happened to Nozomi?" He hear her asking him.

"I was but then she ran out. I left the work on the board and came looking for her." He explains the rest as we slowly approach.

"Ah, Shion-chan. Thanks for going to get them. There's some hot cakes (Pancakes) inside if you want some." She says as she beckons us over.

However, Nozomi was gone just before we got to her. "Her and her bloody disappearing acts!"
