Maybe it was a slight stretch- to send his crush that bloody bracelet. It was planned cunningly yet... he felt as though she wouldn't understand. He sighed, now thinking of an inconspicuous way to explain the crimson stains- a declaration of adoration. He chewed his lip wondering whether it was safe to approach Y/n... but it seemed safer to lay low.
Maybe if he hadn't retrieved a kitchen knife along side finding the beautiful silver bracelet for Y/n- he wouldn't have made such a mistake... or... or a problem for himself. He shifted and acknowledge the stinging pain in his wrist after delivering the bracelet to Y/n.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there Y/n sat.
She was seated at the kitchen table, with a tissue underneath the crimson-stained silver bracelet.
'Had it been a gift and something went wrong?'
'Or another warning?'

"What the hell is happening to me?"
She rested her head in her hands and sighed.

The boys' locker rooms constantly smelt musty- like sweat and dirt.
Y/n wrinkled her nose at the guy crouching in front of her smelling exactly like those locker rooms.

She had been wandering about the campus and seen a boy on the ground near the base of an old tree.
On the tree were purple bugs- kind of like rhinoceros beetles.

Y/n plucked one from the trunk and eyes it as it flailed around between her fingers.

The boy looked up, meeting her gaze with his eyes that were a mix of red and yellow. "Oh. You beetle fight too?"

Y/n was taken aback, she blanched. "What? Of course not!"

He chuckled, "well you'll be a fine student. I'm Arataki Itto... but just call me Itto. Arataki is the company name..."

"Well, I'm Y/n L/n. Nice to meet you." She pulled her hand away when he reached for a handshake after wiping his hands on his dirty slacks- attempting to get sweat off.
He laughed at that.

"Do you want to play with me?"

"Oh... uh okay." Y/n mustered a smile.

"Do you choose that beetle?"

"Yep."

He placed a monster of a beetle in front of her beetle.
"Now. You watch them fight. Mine's been trained, you see."

Y/n sat cross-legged across from Itto and watched their little beetles scrabble around before Itto's one knocked hers over onto its round back, spindly legs flailing in the air.

"Hmmm... I win. Maybe you'll do better next time."

And that's how Y/n spent lunch break with a slob- who later became one of her best friends.

(Arataki Itto is introduced- so many characters left to write now...)
