When I saw the belt...
The way she held it.
The tight grip.
The look on her face.
The slight smirk creeping up on her red-tinted lips.

...I knew she wanted me, I saw it in her eyes.
Did I want her?

Fuck yeah.

Chapter one:
Newbie

I woke up this morning and immediately started getting ready for school, as always. I put on my uniform and walked to the bathroom.
"Oh, good morning, darling! I see you're finally awake" my mom said, smiling warmly, putting on her deep red lipstick.
"Good morning, mom! Question, should I wear red or yellow ribbons today?"
"Wear whatever you think suits you best, Madoka. TATSUYA, STOP WASTING THE CEREAL!"

I chose to wear the red ribbons, carefully tieing them around my pigtails.
"That looks great, darling. Now all the boys in school will be swarming you!"mom said, enthusiastically.
"..yeah, I guess..."
I started walking to the breakfast table, my head hanging down a bit. Mom didn't know yet, and I couldn't blame her. I hadn't told her.

After breakfast I walked to school. On my way, I met my friend, Sayaka.
"Hey, Madoka!" as she ran up to me, she looked a bit concerned. "Whats the matter? You seem a bit.. down?"
"Uh, its just.." I said, grabbing my skirt anxiously. I sighed.
"I don't know if I should tell my mom about.. well, you know what.."
"Oh, that you're lesbian?" She said, looking a bit less concerned.
"..yeah."
Sayaka thought for a moment, before smiling softly.
"Well, she seems like a nice woman! I think she'd understand just fine, dont you think?"
"..I guess..?"
Our friend, Hitomi, spotted us from afar and waved.
"Madoka! Sayaka! Over here! Class starts soon, you know?"
Both me and Sayaka hurried over to Hitomi.
"Come on, let's get to class!" Sayaka said, rushing me and Hitomi.

When everyone had arrived, ms. Saotome, our teacher, cleared her throat.
"Today we have a new student! Please welcome Homura Akemi warmly."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the new girl. Her hair was long and black and she had a mysterious aura. She looked a bit scary. I recalled seeing her in my dream tonight.. she was fighting some monster.

She seemed to be staring right at me, with that ominous, cold face. Her face looked to be lacking emotion. She was oddly beautiful in some way, her expression calm yet stern as her purple eyes stared into mine.
"Ms. Saotome, I need to go to the toilet." Homura said, calmly.
"Oh, well, Madoka? Can you show Homura to the toilets?" Saotome said, looking at me with a kind expression.
"Oh, uh, sure!" I said, a bit startled, as I was still staring at Homura.
"Follow me" I said, smiling as kindly as I could.

Me and Homura started walking to the toilets. The weird thing was, though, that she was walking much faster, like she already knew exactly where she was going.
"..uh, hey! You seem to know the way pretty well, have you... been here before?.."
She turned around and looked at me, with that cold, piercing look she had used before.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She said with a monotone voice.
"What do you mean? Have you, like, visited our school?" I said, confused.
"...I guess you could say that." she said, turning her head nonchalantly, her silky hair flowing like a dark cape behind her.

She stepped into the toilets and suddenly pulled me in, tightly holding me by the collar of my shirt, pressing me up against the wall.
"Madoka."
I looked at her with wide eyes, terrified.
"..y-yeah?"
"Do not sign that cat's contract." she said, looking at me with a stern look.
"C-Cat? What... what cat?" I said, confused by her words.
"You will understand once you see it. Do not sign the contract, you hear?!" She said, gradually tightening her grip on my collar, getting more intense with every second that passed.
"..okay, I.. I understand."
"Good." she let go of me and started to leave the toilet, walking back to the classroom. I stood there for a while, spacing out. What had just happened? Why did she keep referring to some cat..?

When I returned to the classroom, she was already there, so everybody stared at me, wondering why I was the one who stayed longer.
