I'm currently sitting on the stairs near Haru's house while playing with a cat I named Nyanperona. Even if I tried my best to not think about what happened last night my mind is still full of thoughts about that very peculiar girl. I mean what would be more weirder than our encounter last night? Ugh. But no matter how hard I think about it I still got two things at the end: a kiss on the lips and a broken roof.

"Makoto, it's about the fifth time I called. What's wrong?" Haru asked. I snapped out of my reverie and smiled at him. "Nothing. It's just that something happened last night and it was so weird that I think I'm only dreaming."

Haru looked perplexed, "Weird? What happened?" he asked as we started walking to school. "Some fallen angel fell from my roof last night. She was chased by some guys and she managed to break the rusty spot on my roof so she fell on top of me and I had to make some lame excuse to the ones chasing her."

Haru showed no expression on his face and just simply nodded his head. "Maybe she is a fallen angel who came from the heavens to finally help you move on from you 10 consecutive heartbreaks. 7 times rejected and 3 times dumped."

"Haru! You didn't need to enumerate it you know! Geez." I complained. It makes me pity myself you know. I've been rejected 7 times by girl that I courted and I've had 3 girlfriends and they all dumped me for 3 reasons. (1) She needs to focus on her studies because she is running for honors. (2) Her parents didn't want her to have a boyfriend. And the most recent one is (3) SHE WANTS TO BE A NUN.

See? They're all too good. Literally. That's why I'm really done with good girls.

But then I thought, maybe Akira is really a fallen angel sent to help me from my misery? Nah. Maybe I'm still in the 'Heartbroken' stage where you tend to believe on things that aren't real so that you could take your mind of her.

"What's her name?" Haru suddenly asked while gazing at the ocean beside us.

"Mmm…Akira Yamaguchi." I said. Somehow I really like the way I say her name.

Haru removed his gaze from the ocean and turned to look at me. "You mean the Akira Yamaguchi." He said, emphasizing the word the. I was puzzled about how Haru reacted. It seems that her name piqued his curiosity. "Well I'm not sure if we're talking about the same Akira but the one I'm talking about has short black hair that has some red in it.

Haru raised a brow then looked at me seriously. "Makoto, don't get involved with that girl."

"Why?" I asked because it is very unlikely for Haru to tell not to get involved with other people. Most of the time he simply just doesn't care.

"It seems that you don't know anything," Haru gave a long sigh, "Akira Yamaguchi is the most infamous delinquent in Iwatobi and she's also gaining that reputation throughout the town."

My mouth formed an 'O' as I let what Haru had just said sink in my brain. "She's our schoolmate?!" Haru nodded and said, "Not only are schoolmate, but also our classmate and lastly…..

your seatmate."
