In the centre of a fairly small town named Azura, I go to a fairly small but prestigious school; Azura North High school. Everyone here is the same, except for appearances and hobbies of course. Other than that, we all get high grades, wear the same uniform, play a sport etc. That is, everyone but Ryouta Tachibana. Ryouta Tachibana is a new transfer student that came here a year ago all the way from Japan. No-one likes him because he's majorly different. He has different appearances, more different than normal. He has small dark brown eyes and deep brown hair that from a distance looks black. He doesn't participate in any sports or clubs, draws anime as a hobby- which is probably the most normal thing about him- has average grades- for an average person- and he wears the other uniform, the one that nobody else wears. No-one goes near him, apart from the bullies. I just think it's because they're afraid, they're afraid of someone different, someone special and unique. I however, quite like him. He's funny, a great artist, kind and shy. I'm the only one who's accepted him as an equal sadly- but I'll change that, I'll make sure that he can truly smile. Have fun with other people maybe even join a club or join a sport.
I, April Smith, will help him make friends.
