AGGGGGGGGGGGH 'm so tired, but not uuuuuuuuuugh. Help. Anyway, because they're being reborn it's in a different country. The collages aren't real, but are based loosely on real ones. Yes they keep their original names. I'm not that creative unfortunately. And yes they look the same but hair length and colour might change and twigs to their personality – which relates to the story.

Sorry it took me sooo long to write this!

Chapter 1

Makoto looked up at from the paper he was reading for one of his classes with a long drawn out tired sigh. Makoto had to commute from Sudbury all the way to London early in the morning as his classes started at 7 in the morning. Makoto sighed again, he had gotten the train at 5:30 and with only a little delay had arrived at 6:50. He had 10 minutes to look over his papers for his Biology class. He was aiming to be a doctor, Makoto had no idea why but it seemed to suit his need to help others. Makoto sighed again and swiftly walked into a random open cafe, ordering a black coffee to (hopefully) wake him up. He sat down in the somewhat comfy chair next to the window, a sigh escaping his lips as he waited for his black coffee. Makoto's warm brown eyes glanced out from behind his long dark burgundy fringe as the doors bell tinkled to announce that someone had walked in and as they walked in Makoto took off his black rimmed reading glasses. Makoto looked up to see a close friend of his; her name was Liliya she was short only 5'3 while Makoto was around 6'0 making Liliya look shorter then she was, Liliya had short blond her that curled up at the ends, her sense of fashion was a nightmare for designers, as she hid her body in over sized sweaters and jeans.

Makoto smiled and waved her over a warm smile on his. Liliya looked both ways before walking over as she was renown for being a bit of a ditz. Her little legs worked to propel her as quick and efficiently across the floor to where Makoto was, just as she was about to sit down she caught her foot and fell into the chair not before cursing as quietly as she could when she sat down on said chair. She stopped and looked up at Makoto all of a sudden startling him.

"Heyo buddy boy~!" Liliya sing-songed resting her head on the palm of her hand as she twirled her pointer finger at Makoto. Makoto smiled at Liliya:
"I'm fine, bit tired though." Makoto gave a small laugh afterwards waving his Biology papers to signal why he was up at this ungodly hour. Liliya gave a snort in return.

"Oh hey, man you don't mind if I bring the knewbie from my art course with for lunch? Ri~ght?" Liliya asked waving her arms slightly making the end of her black sweater sleeves slip past her finger tips. Makoto smiled, he had a soft spot for Liliya as she reminded him of his little sister, and how he hoped she would of been at her age.

"Sure." Makoto agreed easily. Liliya clicked her fingers and pat her fist onto the palm of her hand.

"Oh right, I should warn you he's super duper quiet, I mean it's like talking to a marble statue!" She joked a smile brightening her pale face. "Oh I better go don' wanna miss my art teach" Liliya waved a goodbye as she stood up and left the cafee not before nearly crashing into a waiter on her way out. Makoto muffled his small giggle behind a cough.

After reading through his paper Makoto felt his mind wonder as he thought about who the new student could be, Liliya had left before he could inquire any further.

"Hey, hey~ s'up fish boy." Liliya waved to be meet with a blank red gaze.
