Meeting Ryoko

Aoi sat in his desk, looking bored in the classroom. School had only begun, and he was already feeling disgusted. He heard whispers coming from behind. It was always the same with these people. They would never be able to accept the one thing he loved most.

'Not that I care of course…' he thought to himself. He was a net idol and loved dressing up in female clothing. He was a bit "different" than everyone else, but this was the one thing that made him feel most like his true self. Of course he was in his male school uniform for now… If he were to wear anything else, he'd just get another scolding from his father. His father would never understand him. Nobody would…

"Attention students," the teacher began. Aoi looked out the window beside him not in the least bit interested in what the teacher had to say. "We have a new student today. I would like to introduce you all to Higurashi Ryoko. You may come in now Higurashi-san."

The class was silent for a short while. Aoi continued to stare out the window. People whispered to one another and laughed silently.

"Look at her. She looks like a goth," one of the students said.

"Oh, maybe she's a part of some cult?" another asked.

'annoying' Aoi thought to himself. *twitch* 'Just what exactly are these people laughing… at… huh!' Aoi had turned his head to look at the new student. He could now understand the situation. This girl was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt. She wore a chain bracelet on her right arm. Her eyes were brown, and her hair went all the way down to her waist. Her bangs nearly covered her left eye. She also had a chain necklace around her neck with a star dangling at the bottom. This girl was nowhere near cute! *twitch* Her style was completely WRONG!

"It's all wrong!" Aoi shouted while standing and banging his fists on the desk, looking at the girl in rage. Her eyes went wide as she blinked in confusion. The teacher placed his right hand over his forehead with a huge frown on his face. The other students stared at him surprised at first, then whispered to one another.

"Hyoudou-san, please go to the principal's office," the teacher said sternly.

"What? Why should I!" Aoi demanded.

"For your sudden outburst in my class. I will not allow it. Now go," the teacher responded while pointing at the door. Aoi marched out of the classroom and gave the girl a death glare before leaving which made her jump slightly. After he exited the room, the other students burst into laughter.

"Settle down everyone," the teacher said then looked at the girl. "I apologize for his rude behavior. He's a bit "different" than the other students, so don't mind him." The teacher looked ahead and pointed at the desk to the right of where Aoi was sitting. "That will be your desk over there. Please have a seat." Ryoko nodded then walked quickly to her desk. The students were still laughing at that boy. Ryoko sat down and stared at the door. She couldn't help but wonder what the boy was talking about.

"I said to settle down," the teacher said once more.

Aoi walked out of the principal's office feeling very displeased. A parent teacher conference… His father was going to kill him. It would only be a matter of time until-

"Hey," Ryoko said while tilting her head slightly to the right with her hands behind her back. Aoi took a few steps back in shock.

"W-w-what are you doing here!" he shouted, demanding to know. Ryoko smiled nervously and held out Aoi's book bag in front of her.

"Uhm… came to give you this?" She then laughed nervously. Aoi didn't know how to respond to this and ended up just taking the book bag away from her, muttering a thanks.

"So…" Ryoko started as the two walked in the hallway. Their next class would be starting soon.

"What is it now?" Aoi asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Why exactly did you yell at me?" Aoi stopped in his tracks and pointed at the girl, burning in rage. Ryoko felt like she was shrinking in size.

"I shouted cause it's all wrong! There's nothing cute about your appearance."

"Huh?"

"Look at you! Girls are supposed to wear cute and frilly things. Not dark and plain!"

"Dark and plain?" Ryoko looked at her clothes then back at Aoi. "Well I'm going to wear a school uniform starting tomorrow… so uhm… that'll solve that problem?"

"WRONG!" Ryoko felt smaller than an insect at this point. The boy was on fire! She wasn't dark… The only reason why she wore this stuff was because she loved the color black and thought that chains were pretty. Plus she wore the star cause she loved the night time sky the most.

"Come here!" Aoi demanded while grabbing Ryoko by the arm and dragging her outside the building.

"W-w-waaait! Where are you taking me?" Ryoko asked while feeling extremely confused at this point. Aoi took her behind the building then looked her over.

"H-huh?" Ryoko asked while staring at him.

"You seem to have the same height as me… hmm… Yes, I would say we're about the same size. You have a good figure… The small chest is perfect! You could be a lolli type," Aoi said while examining Ryoko carefully.

"L-lolli! W-wait… Small chest!"

"I'm saying these things to you as a compliment."

"That's one heck of a compliment…" Ryoko then shrieked a little when Aoi suddenly had his face at least three inches away from hers. She could feel her heart race. He was really cute.

"You have a cute face," he said which made Ryoko blush a little. He then pulled away and took a few steps back, closing his eyes in thought. After some time a grin appeared on Aoi's face.

"Okay, go back to your class now."

"W-what!" Ryoko asked in confusion.

"I'm finished with you. Now go before you're late. See you later!" he said then rushed off. Ryoko could only stare at the spot he once occupied… feeling the most confused she's ever felt in years. Just what was this boy up to?
