"NIYAH! HURRY!", I can hear Rowan calling for me from downstairs, but I still don't wanna wake up just yet... I need more time to sleep. I was up all night worrying about tomorrow... Tomorrow... Today... Today is... TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Of 7th grade. Of ACTUAL MIDDLE school. GET UP! GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OUTTA BED!

"NIYAH! LET'S GO! Niyah wha-", Rowan is now in my doorway. "WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN BED?! GET UP! TODAY IS SUPER IMPORTANT! GET OUT OF BED! NOW!"

"Let me sleep... Wait. You hate school. Why are you so excited about today?!", I jump out of bed, and feel her forehead. "Are you feeling ok?! Fever?! Anything?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! I WAS SLEEPING!", and with that, I fall face first onto my bed. I suddenly hear our doorbell ring.

"Well. Suit yourself. There's a cute boy waiting outside on your front doorstep for you, and you just wanna go back to sleep. FINE!", I look at the smirking Rowan with curiosity, and start to walk over to my closet. I pick out a Soul Eater tank top, and a pair of lightly colored jeans. I start to head to the bathroom across the hall when I hear footsteps coming toward me. I look past my open door, and freeze. There is a boy. In my house. In my hall way. What now. What do I do. I bet this is Rowan's fault. I'll kill her. What do I do!

"Hey, Niyah. Can I borrow this jacket? It's so cute with Amu and Ta- Hey! I didn't think you would come in! KK, I thought you would just wait outside! Oh well!", Rowan said grinning like crazy.

"Yeah... Hi... Can I help you?", is all I could get out from the shock of having some boy I don't even know standing in my hall way staring at me.

"I... Uh... Rowan. Sh-she said t-to come here as s-soon as I c-could. By the way... I really like your shirt...", the boy said looking down, blushing.

"Th-thank you... Rowan. Can I talk to you for a- Wait. You know this show? As in, you watch anime?!", I say stunned.

"And so it begins!", Rowan whispers into my ear. "I'll just be in here.", she said running into my room.

"Yeah. I watch it sometimes. I just don't really have anyone to watch it with or to talk about it with, so I don't watch it much. I hate feeling lonely like no one knows what I'm talking about... But yeah...", he said, still looking down.

"Well, what grade are you in, sir!", I said smiling enormously, glad I had found a friend.

"I'm going into 8th today... And you?", he asked.

"I am going into 7th... Senpai~!", I said still smiling hugely.

"Awesome!", he said finally looking up at me, right in the eyes. They were dark chocolate, and so soft and kind that I couldn't help but feel welcome.

"Ok! So let me go finish getting ready in the bathroom, and you can wait out here, or the kitchen, or living room, or even my room with Rowan! I have all kinds of posters and such! OOH! AND MANGA! LOTS OF MANGA!", I say very excited now.

"Ok!", he said back, smiling at me too.

    I ran to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, did my hair up in a high ponytail, put on what little makeup I had, and ran back to my room, to see the boy was already reading the first Death Note manga I had. I laughed, and he looked at me blushing from embarrassment.

"Hey! It's ok! Keep reading! Borrow them all if you want! Also! I didn't get your name, and where is Rowan?", I said excited, rushing the last question.

"O-ok, and she went to the kitchen. Your mom made muffins. Oh! And my name is Kuiper. And yours?", he asked, starting to look up again.

"Niyah! Uh, that's my name. Did you not want a muffin?", I asked curiously.
