aNaitu's POV
After lunch, I was walking through the hallways shyly. Though, there was no point to it. No one even looked at me. I guess, because I was just a freshman, a first year. Because of that, there's really no point in me acting shy if I just blend in just like that.
I'm glad it is like that way. Ren, accepted me for who I was, and I'm glad. I'm always shy, and flustered, around him, and that's what he sees me as.
But, I think I'm a monster...
The daughter of a betrayer and a cheater, from what I heard from Mrs. Shion, or, my foster mom now while she was drunk.
There was not much I can do but change my ways. Back in the orphanage, I used to be a rage freak whenever they would pick on me. I thought it was the right thing to do, since I would be defending myself.
But instead, one day they cornered me, blood was shed, and I was sent to an infirmary, almost dying. And no one cared since I was such a monster. It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced, and I don't want to ever experience it again.
"Hey, aNaitu! You okay?" Ren asked, standing by me, as I nodded, holding his hand. "Don't lie to me we've known each other for a while now! It's a happy year anniversary! The day I finally see you in person."
"I thought of the time, I was in the orphanage, and..," I trailed off, trying not to cry with the image planted into my head. "I-I..."
I felt him kiss my cheek as I blushed red, covering my mouth in the shock, flustered like my normal self around him.
"The past is in the past. Right now, we have each other. I still haven't kissed you, like I said I would do when I first meet you," Ren said as I turned to face him. His soft hand caressing my cheek as I felt him kiss me on the lips.
The kiss felt magical, almost as if someone cast a spell. As my first kiss, I was so flustered, I felt as if I was going to faint with the butterflies in my stomach and my face looking like a tomato.
I soon pulled away as I put three fingers over my mouth and blushed red, feeling as if I was going to faint.
"I love you, aNaitu. Or, DragonSlayerGirl39," Ren said as I smiled, holding his hand, though we soon had to part since we were in different classes, and in different grades.
I walked into the classroom, humming an anime tune of one that I had just watched this morning.
"Do you see the girl sitting by the window over there?"
"Yeah her red hair doesn't even look good on her."
"And that anime opening she's singing? Sucks!"
My eyes widened as I could tell they were talking about me. I quickly stopped humming and frowned, ignoring them as if I didn't here a thing.
Though it was the wrong decision...
"Hm? Why are you ignoring us?" one asked as I started to tremble. Ren wasn't in this class, and I don't want to be the angry girl in the orphanage, so I continued to ignore them.
"Hm, maybe for the exact reason why so thought it would be. Because your weak, and you can't stand up for yourself," the second girl said as I clenched my fists, trying not to turn into the menacing girl. It's not the right thing to do...
But if I tell a teacher they would do nothing but instead add 'tattletale' to the group of insults. It's only my first day, and this is happening to me already...
"Maybe, there's a reason why your original parents gave you away."
Those words struck me like lightning. My eyes widened into a creepy glare as I laughed with a smile on my face. I stood up at the three that were insulting me.
"Hmmm~ maybe you should be given away to the devil!" I exclaimed and punched the girl in the face. She fell to the floor with a bruise on her cheek.
"Ow! This girl is harassing me!" the girl exclaimed as the teacher walked in. Ms. Kaai, I believe. Her eyes widened as she looked at me then down at the girl sitting on the floor.
"Yes I saw. But aNaitu is a nice girl and I was the one who showed her around the school when she came. While you, Ms. Misaki, can tend to be bit, triggering," Ms. Kaai said as her eyes widened.
"Get the thing iced I care about my students. aNaitu, I'll talk to you later after class," Ms. Kaai said as I nodded and rose my hand.
"Could I use the bathroom?" I asked as Ms. Kaai sighed.
"Already? Class just started! Sure, go ahead," she said as I nodded.
"Th-Thank you!" I exclaimed when I spotted Ren outside of the classroom.
"I saw everything," he said as I frowned, looking down at my shoes, trembling in fear.
"I'm sorry...you must think of me as a really bad monster now..," I admitted hastily, waiting for him to fire back at me, and we would have our first fight.
"No, I understand the situation you're in," Ren said as my eyes widened in shock. He held both of my hands and smiled at me.
"You...you accept me as who I am?" I asked as Ren cheekily grinned happily.
"Of course! What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" Ren asked as in joy, I embraced him tightly, crying on his shoulders.
"Th-Thank you..," I said as I continue to cry in a mix or tears of joy and of sadness. "Thank you, for all that you've done for me."
"I needed to and I wanted to," Ren said and I released him from the hug. "You should go to class now. I'm on a bathroom break."
I nodded and waved, drying my tears. "I'll see you later," I said as Ren nodded. I walked into the classroom as I took my seat, opening my text book.
