A Whole New World

Kiseki Ayame was an enigma to him. Really, of all the people he had ever met, she was the first person that he couldn't understand as easily. From all his travels, he would have thought he would have enough experience to deal with other people, but she was entirely new.

He thought it was because she was half-American, since they tend to be pretty weird according to the Japanese media. American's did came out with the most baffling things sometimes. Maybe the American blood in her was the one making her a complete mystery to him.

But that wasn't it. He was just making excuses because he couldn't figure her out.

When they first met, she had an aura of coldness surrounding her. Well not exactly coldness. More like the boredom. She didn't seem as excited as their other classmates, only gazing at them with dropping eyes. Though she did have a small glint of curiosity in her eyes. But, he didn't mind it. He was almost sure that they wouldn't be talking anytime at all, except maybe when they had to do something for their class.

He was surprised to know though, that not only was she related to one of his childhood friends, but his friends were also pretty close to her. Naturally, he found himself being around her. Not to mention, he was put to sit beside her in class too.

He thought that she wouldn't be talking that much. The moment he sat on the seat beside her, she greeted her lazily with a big grin. It was totally different from the way he first perceived her that it surprised him.

She wasn't cold, she was actually pretty nice. Though she did have a knack to be really sarcastic and cynical, but it was all in humor. She never actually meant them, and only wanted a good laugh (and also to take a jibe on their friends. He had to admit it was pretty funny to see them get riled up by one tiny girl). She talked a lot too, often joining in their conversations about soccer (considering she was in the girls' soccer team) and almost about every other thing.

What amazed him even more though, was she was not, and never will be, afraid to speak her mind out. She would say the first thing that popped into her head, but it wasn't one of those "smack my head" thoughts. It could be a sarcastic remark, a compliment, or it could be a question that would make someone think something through. She was also headstrong about her opinions, but she wouldn't insult someone when they think differently than her.

She was different from him, because she would rather wear her heart on her sleeve, while he would rather keep his feelings in.

At first he didn't know how to approach her, not only because they only met, but because she was someone out of the ordinary. He almost shit his pants when she noticed the way he was acting around her, but she only shrugged it out and told him that he should treat her like any other of his friends. She was human just like any other person, and like him.

That started their first steps towards real friendship. And from then on, it was as if the world changed. He already knew that the world was interesting. Traveling with his dad showed him things that people overlooked.

But with Ayame, there's this one unique universe all summed up in one body. He didn't if it was because he hadn't stayed within one place for long periods of time that he couldn't exactly get to know the people he met. He didn't exactly know much about them. Even right now, he was still finding out stuff about his friends here in Nankatsu.

But Ayame, Ayame showed him how a there's so much more to people than what he thought. She was constantly and unconsciously showing him that he could learn all these interesting things about anyone (it was quite a shock when she all of the sudden asked him something in French and he answered it right away).

They've known each other for over a year now, and still she continued to show him how people act, speak, move about something, how everyone can be affected by the smallest details, how all these different people could come together to make this huge world they know.

But most of all, she continued to be herself, and it was always a treat to watch her constantly evolving, just like everyone else.

Without a doubt meeting her opened a whole new world to him.

AN: yeah this is all shorter and i have about 11 chapters for this story but it will just mostly focus on misaki and ayame's side of the story and their journey as being a couple. don't know if you guys would be okay with that so yeah.
