Yenne Yukihiro silently walked down the halls of Midoriko Gakuen, ignoring all the students who just stared at her. She unconsciously brought a hand on top of her right eye when a boy glanced at her. It was Takeru Ichinose, one of the popular guys at school. His purple eyes strayed to the eye that she was covering, but as
fast as he noticed her, he ignored her again. Yenne sighed and went on her way, thinking on why she was affected when Takeru treated her like all the other people around him. Who was Takeru in her life anyway? They haven't even talked since she transferred in this school during her 3rd year of middle school. So why did she...?
"Move it, loser!"
Yenne didn't see the shove coming towards her way, and gave a small yelp when someone forced her to slam against the wall. She rubbed her arm and glared at the one who pushed her, and rolled her eyes when it was only Mai Sugiyama, the feeling cool girl of the whole school, when really, she was just trying too hard. Mai was also the one who treats most of the girls like dirt under her feet, especially to girls like her who don't really associate with the other students and have their own world.
"What are you staring at?" Mai demanded, narrowing her eyes at Yenne who was still glaring at her. "You should say you're sorry!"
"I don't apologize to the likes of you, especially if I did nothing wrong!" Yenne answered, straightening herself. Mai's jaw went slack. "How dare you talk to me that way?"
Mai was about to raise a hand and slap Yenne, but stopped. Her brown eyes widened as something caught her eye, taking a step back and biting her lip. "W-What..."
Yenne immediately covered her eye again, looking shocked. Mai mustn't see! No one must see! Ducking under Mai's arm, she made a run away from the commotion that starts whenever Mai does something attention worthy. As she was running away, she glanced at the spot where Takeru was standing once more. He was lifting his brown bangs away from his face, and was looking at her with curiosity; Yenne forcibly tore her eyes away from him. He must think that she was hiding something terrible.
Taking a deep breath, she continued running, ignoring the dark aura that she passed, the presence that she passed, and the eyes that followed her silently.

"Are you free after this, Teru-san?"
Mirishikiari Zukashimo or Kari for short slammed her locker shut as she turned to her not-so-friend but also not-so-acquaintance Teru Asuka. Kari swept her dark red locks away from her eyes as her purple orbs looked at Teru's blood red ones. The smaller girl shook her head, her pale pink hair swinging along with her movements.
"Teru-chan and Kuro-chan are both going somewhere after school." Teru said, lifting up her white rabbit doll that she named 'black' for crying out loud. "Teru-chan thinks that Kari-chan can find someone else to go with her."
"I didn't even say anything yet!" Kari laughed and ruffled Teru's hair in affection, who almost purred in delight at being shown attention. Just then, someone ran past Teru's back since she was facing Kari and the lockers while her back was facing the expanse of the hallways. Kari and Teru both turned to look at the one who was running away in full speed, and the red head scratched her cheek.
"Wasn't that Yukihiro-san?" Kari asked no one in particular. "Is she running away from someone?"
Teru didn't answer, but instead stared after their classmate. Her hands made a move to indicate her doll. "Kuro-chan said that Sugiyama-san was bullying her again."
"Wait, how did you know?" Kari raised an eyebrow, then shrugged. Teru was always weird, and sometimes she thought that the girl was a psychic or something. "Whatever. Homeroom hasn't even started yet, and Sugiyama is already bullying someone again. Too early for this nonsense."
"It's time." Teru suddenly spoke, and Kari flinched. Why does she keep on surprising her with such random things? Kari looked at her watch, and nodded. "Yep. Speaking of homeroom..."
The two started to walk down the halls when an arm grabbed Kari's. She yelped and was about to karate chop the person when-
"Kari-chan, what's wrong?"
No one was behind her. The hallways were starting to get deserted, and only Teru was looking at her mith mild curiousity. The red head frowned, but shook her head. She swore that someone grabbed her arm, but Teru doesn't touch anyone voluntarily. "Um, it was nothing. I just thought someone..."
Kari shook her head again, trying to dispel the feeling of paranoia away from her head. "C'mon, we're gonna be late. Just forget it."
As the redhead went ahead, Teru looked back, staring blankly at a certain spot. Her face remained emotionless, but her eyes turned annoyed.
"Teru-san! What are you waiting for?"
Teru slowly turned to Kari who was waiting for her with arms crossed and was tapping her foot repeatedly with impatience. She was about to follow when something grabbed her hair from behind. Teru nonchalantly slapped the hand away from her prized pink hair and ignored the voice who was trying to call out to her.
"Help... me..."
