[ ~Mitsuri POV~ ]
Me and my mom had just moved out of my childhood home. I wish my other five siblings could come with me and my mom but my dad took custody of them.. I hated that mom and dad broke up, but I needed a bit of change in my life anyways.

[ ~Third Person POV~ ]
It was Mitsuri's first day at school.. The principal, Ubuyashiki, talked to her a bit before handing her a schedule and someone to guide her around the school. His name was Sanemi Shinazugawa. He had a lot of scars over his body, like somebody harmed him. But it looked more like self-harm more on his arms. Who knows?
"alright Mitsuri. I'm gonna show you around the school, mostly where your classes are and locker, bathrooms, cafeteria, etcetera, etcetera. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself while I guide you around, hm?"
Mitsuri nodded shyly. 'Kyaaa...! He looks so cute!" She handed him her schedule and waited for the tour to begin. Sanemi began walking, letting Mitsuri follow.
"This is 9th grade hall, but no one really goes down there if you're not in 9th grade." He said, looking behind him to see if she was there. He pointed to the ninth grade hall. He began to walk up the stairs, making sure she was following still.
"So you wanted to know more about me? Well I was the strongest girl in my village, hmm, im in 10th grade! And I'm 15!" She yelled from excitement. Good thing people were already in class, or else that would've been embarrassing. He nodded. "this is 10th grade hall. We don't need to see the other halls so ill show you your classes and stuff." She nodded and looked around the empty halls.
[ ~Sanemi POV~ ]
This girl.. She really is something. She'll definitely become popular for her looks, probably not her personality though. She's not thin or fat like any other girl I've seen, she's kinda just, right. Her hair color is interesting.. "Did you dye your hair?" I asked as I showed her the locker she was gonna use. She looked up at me in mesmerizing way..
"No! I didn't dye my hair. I got these colors naturally from eating so many sakura mochi.." She seemed embarrassed, like she was ashamed of eating so much. Poor girl, she probably thinks she's weird, but she's... Beautiful. I replied in a approved voice. "I like it, definitely more interesting than most girls here." It looked like her face turned bright red for a second when I said that. She nodded and opened her locker. Mitsuri placed her book bag and things in the locker while I looked at her schedule. I have a few classes with her.. PE, math, and ELA. So I guess I'll be seeing her everyday. Exciting...
Mitsuri continued to put the things in her locker as I stared at her. I wonder what she thinks of me..
[ ~Mitsuri POV~ ]
Why is he so cute... With all those scars! I can't risk getting rejected again though!! I'm glad I got to switch schools and all but I wish my dad was here to help still.. I wonder why my parents even wanted a divorce..
"Do you know when school ends uhm, what's your name?" I can't believe I forgot his name.. I'm so stupid.. He looked back up at me." I'm Sanemi, and school ends around 14:50." I nodded in response. Before I knew I was speaking. "I like your name..." I accidentally mumbled.. 'Oh man, he's gonna think I'm weird!!' He looked at me for a second before turning back to my schedule.. Was he mad? Upset? Embarrassed? I was so confused! What does he think of me now... Am I weird? Oh no,my chances with him are ruined!!
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to tell you it kinda slipped out..." I began tearing up, embarrassing myself further... 'Crap Crap Crap!!' He looked at me and noticed me crying quickly. Before I knew it, I was in his embrace.
"don't cry.. Its not good to do that, especially on your first day.. And its fine.. I don't get compliments much.." H-he's comforting me?! Kyaaa!!! I hugged him back and cried silently.
[ ~Sanemi POV~ ]
Okay so she might not be able to be popular because of her emotion changes and stuff.. But it doesn't make her any less adorable! I'm glad to be holding her, but I felt embarrassed. I patted her back, hoping she'd stop crying soon...
A few minutes go by and she finally calmed down. "You good now?" She nodded and let go of me. I began walking and she closed her locker and began walking with me. "I'm just gonna show you your first class, alright? I gotta get to my own class too."
"Okay! I hope I see you around Sanemi..." She said shyly. I opened her homeroom door. "have a good day Mitsuri." She nodded and walked into the classroom, sitting down. I walked over to the teacher and went to speak to them.
"That your new student Mr Himejima. Her names Mitsuri." Mr Himejima nodded at my words and shooed me. I walked out of the classroom and began walking to my own class..
I could help but think of how.. warm she felt in my arms... what a, strange feeling, hm?
