I was always a loner. Since my childhood I had only my sister, no one dared to come closer to me, not that I wanted it to happen. I am okay on my own - that's what I've always told myself. Sometimes I think that I lie to myself. Perhaps it's true. But for me, it is better to lie and continue being distant rather than drown in suffering of my own loneliness.

Multiple people tried to "befriend" me, but I continued being distant. Not that I don't want to have friends, I just don't know how to behave like a friend. So it's a waste of time for both me and others.

It was yet another beginning of school, I was slowly walking down the pavement when I saw a crowd of my schoolmates. I was curious to what brought their attention, but still walked past them. It's probably something stupid as usual. Then I heard a loud yelp, "Sorry!" It was a quivering female voice. After that I heard fast footsteps that grew louder until someone ran into me.

I managed to catch my balance and stood still but the (hair color) girl didn't. She was slowly rubbing her head while quietly sobbing. I wanted to let out my frustration at her, but seeing her already pathetic state made me cool down. "Here." I picked up her bag that lied by my leg and handed it to her. "S-sorry! I'm so so sorry!" The girl bowed to me. "Tch. Annoying." I started walking away.

Taking a seat at my usual desk that stood in the very corner of the classroom I took out my book and began reading it. Slowly the class got noisier and noisier making me irk in anger. When will these people shut up?! Finally, the teacher made his grand appearance as we all stood up and greeted our sensei. What I didn't expect is to see a familiar female. She slowly walked into the class, her knees shaking. I could finally inspect her looks. She had (hair color) (hair length) hair and long bangs that covered most of her eyes. She wore a light blue long sleeve sweater above the school uniform. In her hands she held a familiar dark blue school bag, it had a small skull badge on it. The thing that piqued my interest in her is multiple band-aids and bandages that covered her limbs here and there. Is she that clumsy? Or it's something else?

"Please introduce yourself." Fukuzawa-sensei asked calmly. "M-my name i-is (Last name) (Your name), p-pleasure meeting y-y-you." She bowed. "M-my name i-is (Your name)!" One of the class clowns parodied her in a stupid voice as the whole class erupted with laughter. Fukuzawa-sensei glared at the guy as he shook his head. "Don't mind them, please take a seat." The girl frowned as she slowly shook her head.

(Your name)-chan made her way towards my classmates but they placed their bags on the vacant seat as if alluding her to find another one. This continued for ten minutes until she finally stooped near my seat. "C-can I?" Her timid voice made me sigh. I slowly nodded as she took a seat by my side. "T-thank you." Her bangs slowly brushed away revealing her shimmering (eye color) left eye. I averted my gaze back onto my book as (Your name)-chan made herself comfortable.

"Two freaks sitting together, how cute!" One of the popular girls sneered with a sly smirk. (Last name)-chan looked down in guilt. I simply glared at her. She sweatdropped and looked away. Bitch. "I'm sorry." The girl next to me muttered out. "Don't apologize." I huffed while turning the page. "I'm sor- I mean. . . Okay." She took out her textbook as the lesson began.

It was one period before lunchtime, I was so bored during the English class that I decided to start a conversation with the newbie. I tore out a page from my notebook as I wrote the message down. "What do you like to do in your free time?" I passed her the note. (Last name)-chan gasped in surprise as she quickly wrote down her answer. "Read, sketch, write poems." Her answer made me perk up. "You write poems?" "Yeah, but they can be quite. . . Dark." "Can I read them?" "Sure, but not now." "How about behind school during lunchtime?" "Sounds great. Say, what is your name?" "It's a plan then, don't be late. Akutagawa Ryonosuke."
