Hiro's POV:
It was the first day of high school. Everyone in my class was really excited. The Girls were gossiping and telling stories about their summer. The Boys were being rowdy and throwing things at each other.
My class is very small. It only has 10 people in it. But I'm ok with that, I've known them since kindergarten.

My girlfriend, Naomi, comes up to me. "So are you nervous hiro"? I snap back to reality after being deep in thought. "Huh"?, I say, "oh a little. But it'll be fine we can get through this together. All of us".

Our new teacher walks into the classroom. "All right everyone take a seat"! The talking soon fades away and everyone gets in a desk. The classroom is silent for a little bit when just then, somebody walks in.
A tall, beautiful girl with pink hair walks in. She has a perfect body and a confident smile. I did not know this girl but, I felt like I recognize her from somewhere. "Take a seat please", the teacher says. "Oh sorry", the pink haired girl says rushing to a seat. I blushed when she sat next to me.

Miku, who was sitting behind me, reaches over and taps the girl on her shoulder. "Hey who are you"?, she whispers. "Miku don't be rude like that", kokoro says.
The girl turns around. "My name is 002 but you can just call me zero two. I just moved here".
"That's a weird name", zorome says. Miku slaps him.
"Quiet"!, the teacher says turning around after writing something on the chalkboard. It said, turn to pages 34 of your textbooks. She starts handing out big, thick books with tons of hard math work we've never done before.
Everyone groans. This is going to be a long year.

Time skip to lunch

Our class is small enough for everyone to fit at one table. Everyone is asking zero two a bunch of questions.
Miku: so where did you come from?
Goro: what are your talents and hobbies?
Futoshi: do you like sweets?
Zorome: your pretty cute not gonna lie.
Miku slaps him again.
Kokoro: guys stop!
"Hey I have an idea", ichigo says, "let's all go around the table and introduce ourselves". "That's a stupid idea", zorome says. Miku slaps him for the third time today.

"Hey"!, he yells. "Oh now you wanna say something about me slapping you? You didn't the other times. Do you have a crush on me or something"?, miku says.
Zorome gets as red as a tomato. "No"!, he yells. They both try to slap each other but before they could, goro gets between them and grabs both of their arms. "Stop", he says, "y'all are just putting a bad impression on y'all's selves.

Zero two starts laughing. Everyone looks at her in confusion. "Sorry", she says wiping away tears from laughing so hard, "y'all are just hilarious". "Well let's introduce ourselves now"!, goro says. He turns to me. "You go first".

"Huh? Oh my name is hiro. Zero two stares at my face for a minute with a weird expression. The kind of expression you make when you look at a really hard puzzle or math problem. Kokoro breaks the silence. "My name is kokoro and um well I'm famous on Instagram". "Really? That's cool", zero two says.
Everyone finishes introducing themselves and the bell rings to go to our next class.

Time skip to after school

I start walking home. It was chilly outside and the clouds were dark, which means it's probably going to rain. I usually walk home with Naomi but she has baseball practice today. Just then, I hear someone calling my name. I turn around to see zero two running towards me. She slows down to my pace once she catches up to me.
"Wanna walk home together"?, she asks. "Of course", I say. We walk in silence for a few minutes. I stare at the ground, kicking rocks every now and then.

"So...um why did you wanna walk with me"?, I ask. She looks up. "Huh? Oh well you were walking in the direction of my house and I don't like walking alone". I look away blushing knowing someone like her would never like me. "Oh and I wanted to say something", she says, "I thought you looked really familiar, like I've met you before". My eyes widen.
"I thought the same thing", I say. We stopped talking to think for a second. I try to remember a time when I met someone with pink hair. Just then, I remembered a time when I was younger.

I was playing at the park by myself waiting for my mom to come get me. When I saw a girl the same age as me came running into the park. She had long beautiful pink hair. She was crying so I went up to her. "What's wrong"?, I asked. She looked up. "My dad h-he was hitting my mom and he tried to hit me so I r-ran here". I hug her trying to comfort her. Just then we here footsteps and an angry voice. "Where are you"!?
She starts crying more. I grab her hand and we start running. I take her all the way to my house. My mom and I help her out and comfort her. We find out her dad got arrested and bring her to her now safe home.

I break the silence and remind her of that memory. She stops walking. "That was you"? I never thought I'd actually find you. She hugs me. "Thank you for that. You saved my life that day". She finishes hugging me and turns around. "Hey this is my stop". She points to an apartment building.
"That's my place too" we walk in the building together. She stops at her door. Turns out it was right next to mine. I was about to walk in my apartment when she pulls me in hers. I see a blue haired lady standing in the kitchen.
"Mom, this the boy who helped me that day". Her mom turns around. "Oh really? Oh I remember you. You've grown so much"! She says squeezing my face. Zero two giggles.

I go back home to my parents and my little sister feeling happy.
