13 SENTINELS: Aegis RIM: ANOTHER STORY - [PART I] (BOOK I)

3.3. T/n's Perspective: Hopefully Not Having Feelings For Someone Already...

T/n: 'As much I wanted to be with my sister...'
T/n: 'Hmm... What if I was in the same class as him?'
T/n: "Geez, what has gotten into me?"
T/n: "There's no way I would just fall I love with someone in just one day..."
T/n: "I mean, for Y/n's case, there's no way she would not feel this way for Juro-kun. But when I saw her earlier this morning..."

Ms. Morimura: "Murasawa-san."
Y/n and T/n: "Yes?"

Ms. Morimura: "Oh I forgot there's two of you, T/n-san, would you mind reading page 15 for us? I'll let you know when to stop."

T/n: "Of course."
T/n stands and readies herself, turns to page 15 of the novel, and clears her throat.

T/n: "At any rate, he is now extraordinarily handsome. But here again the face fails inexplicably to give the impression of belonging to a living human being. He wears a student's uniform and a white handkerchief peeps from his breast pocket. He sits in a wicker chair with his legs crossed. Again, he is smiling, this time not the wizened monkey's grin but rather adroit little smile. And yet somehow it is not the smile of a human being: it utterly lacks substance, all of what we might call the "heaviness of blood" or perhaps the "solidity of human life-it has not even a bird's weight." It is merely a blank sheet of paper, light as a feather, and it is smiling. The picture produces, in short, a sensation of complete artificiality. Pretense, insincerity, fatuousness-none of these words quite covers it. And of course you couldn't dismiss it simply as dandyism. In fact, if you look carefully you will begin to feel that there is something strangely unpleasant about this handsome young man. I have never seen a young man whose good looks were so baffling."

Ms. Morimura: "Amazing reading skills, just like your sister. Thank you, you may stop there."

T/n: "Yes, Ms. Morimura."
T/n bows to her teacher and sits back down.

Miwako: 'T/n-chan~!!! So cool!'

Ms. Morimura: "Sawatari-san, can you finish that last paragraph after her?"
Miwako: "Y-yes!"
Now Miwako stands and reads her part.

Ms. Morimura: 'They're amazing and polite, both siblings.'
Ms. Morimura: 'Just like her, L/n... Same but complete opposites, like sun and moon.'

Morimura looks at the twins as if she knew someone in particular.
That someone was who Morimura could completely trust whenever she needed her.
The person Morimura imagined looked way too familiar, looked exactly just like the twins, and was a bit more older than them.
She was one of her bestest friends she's ever had.
But even Morimura doesn't even know where L/n went.

Ms. Morimura: 'As I expected, is there really no way to bring her back...?'

Miwako: "Ms. Morimura?"

Ms. Morimura: "Yes?"

Miwako: "I finished reading my part."

Ms. Morimura: "I'm so sorry I fazed out, you may take your seat now."

Miwako immediately sits back down.
Miwako: 'It's been only a few seconds, but that's okay.'

Time went on.
More students were volun-told to read as class went on.
It went on, and on, and on, and on.
It was a soothing atmosphere.
Then, the bell rang.

Ms. Morimura: "Oh my, it's the lunch bell. You all are responsible to re-read pages 15 through 27 and write a page summary about that specific portion. You'll return that assignment in the next two weeks. Class is dismissed, everyone. Enjoy your lunch."

As soon as Ms. Morimura left the class, closing the door behind her, almost every student except for Iori and Miwako crowd the younger Murasawa twin.

Where was Iori?
Well, while T/n was reading, Iori accidentally fell asleep to her calm toned voice.
Miwako and Juro made their way to Y/n before everyone crowded their way to T/n like dozens of spiders on one web.

Boy Student: "Are you athletic, perchance?"
Boy Student: "Do you have a boyfriend or perhaps a girlfriend?"
Boy Student: "You and your sister's voice sound so nice~!"
Girl Student: "Are you perhaps free for lunch?"
Boy Student: "Can I be your fan?!"
Girl Student: "What are your sizes?"
Girl Student: "Do you have a preference of people you like?"
Boy Student: "Can we hang out sometime?!"
Girl Student: "You and your sister is so pretty!!!"

T/n: "W-wait, I can't answer you all at once...!"

???: "..."
???: "What are you all doing?"
T/n: "Huh? That voice..."

All the girls coo and the guys silently made way for him to pass.
They continued to move out of the way as he walked until he made it to his destination.
To where?
To T/n's desk, where T/n was at where he sees her struggling with a girl trying to get your autograph.
Luckily that all stopped when T/n turned and see him by the corner of her eye, that student now focusing on him standing in front of her.

Girl Student: "A-Amiguchi-kun?!"

???: "T/n-chan~"

T/n: "A-Amiguchi-kun...!"

Amiguchi: "Yo!"

T/n: "W-what did you need?"

Amiguchi: "Come with me for a moment."

T/n: "U-um, sure, but why?"

Amiguchi: "Just come with me for a moment."

With an reassuring smile, he takes T/n's wrist and softly pulls her with him till they leave out the classroom, leaving the other classmates surprised of what they just witnessed.

Amiguchi: "They might follow us, let's hurry and move to the rooftop."

T/n: "U-um, why are you helping me?"

Amiguchi: "Well, your sister said that we're all meeting up on the rooftop for lunch today. I saw your sister come into my classroom, and was meekly gawking at me to help her get you out of that mess, saying you were in trouble dealing with all those people crowding you all at once..."

T/n: "O-oh, where's my sister?"

Amiguchi: "Currently at the rooftop. Juro is with her calming her down along with Iori and Sawatari."

T/n: " I- I see, thank you so much for your help, I wouldn't been able to leave to be with my sister."

Amiguchi: "Of course, that's what friends do!"

T/n: "Friends, huh?"

She smiles at the friends she made until now.
T/n mesmerizes of the times she tried making friends.
It didn't go so well.
None of the twins never had good friends until now.
But now that T/n knows they don't neglect them, T/n is happy that they can at least relive a normal life, here in their new school.
