Sayaki P.O.V

       I groaned as I tried to clear my thoughts.However,in my attempt to do so,I bumped into someone.I hissed in annoyance and prepared to snap at that certain someone,only to stop and stare.

       Oh god.

       Strawberry hair.

        Purple orbs.

        There is only one person in school that has them both.

         Asano Gakushu.

         I gulped before I muttered an apology.

        Asano took no notice of it and just stared at me.

        I took a deep angry breath before I got up.

        Glancing at his shocked face,I decided to not break his trance and just walk past him.

       "Sayaki...."

      I stopped in my tracks.

      How does Asano know me?I was originally from the B class...

    "Ano.....Have we meet before?"I mumbled.

    I saw Asano flinch before giving me a pained smile.

   "You......don't remember me?"

    I shook my head.

    "B...but....we used to play together remember?"

    "We used to pretend to be pirates?"

   
     "We were so close when we were 9...."

     My eyes widened as hazy memories filled my mind.

    *ahem....flashback brought to you by Author-chan*

      "Asano!!!Gimme back my bear!"

     I pouted as Asano waved my bear up in the air.

    "You have to fight for it first!"

     "Asano...."

     I sniffled and began to cry.

    "Ehhh?!?!Sayaki!!!Don't cry!!Here!"He paused to give me my bear.I hugged it and began to smile."See Sayaki!You look prettier when you smile!"

    I sniffled again and hugged Asano tightly.

  "Thank you....."

    And that time...

   "You.....I hate you!You killed my sister!"

   I whimpered at Asano's harsh tone.

  "I....I didn't....I....."

  Asano gave me a hard slap.

I cried out in pain.

   Even when we were kids,Asano was always nice to me.

   Yet here I was,13 and accused of murdering...Setsuna...Asano's sister.

  "Don't you ever come back here....murderer..."

  He gave me a cold glare.

   I sobbed as I ran out.

   Even he didn't believe me.

   And....

    "Sayaki.....What happened to you?Please...I'm sorry....I should have known you wouldn't have killed Setsuna..."

   I only glanced at him with numb eyes.

  My body moved on its own and went into my corner.

     The corner where I spent most of my time crying and being numb.

    Asano sighed as he reached in to touch my black hair.

   I flinched and began crying and swatting his hand away.

  "Mu...r....derer.....You.....S.....shouldn't....touch...a....mur...de...rer...."

    Asano flinched too.

   "Nonononono.....You aren't a murderer..."

    I looked up.

    He saw my bleeding cheek.

    "No....thats where I...no...why did you keep scratching it?"

    I numbly reached up and began to scratch my bleeding cheek even more.

   "It hu...r..ts...the p..ai..n h.
ur..ts...my h..ea....rt hu..rts....."I squeaked in a scratchy voice.

  Asano hugged me tightly and began to cry....

      Yes...those times with Asano...The ones that I have lost after being an assassin was coming back.

      My eyes widened even more.
   
    Does Asano still think I'm a murderer?

     "Asano..."

    Asano flinched before he pulled in to give me a hug.

    I pushed him away.

   "Y..you shouldn't touch me...I'm now a hated E class student..."I said bitterly.

    Asano's eyes widened in surprise.

   "B...but......I...you...Our grades....we were top 2 in grade school..."

     The pain in my heart worsened.

     I had to let him seperate from me.

     It would hurt him so much for him to find out that I was an assassin.So all I could do now was to use my 'crappy'  grades as an excuse.To be honest,I didn't even have crappy grades.As an assassin,I learnt the most complex stuff to not fall behind on my education.

     Seeing the hurt in his eyes,I quickly put on a facade to cover up my pain.

   "But Asano-kun shouldn't need to worry!E-Class is really fun!"

    With that,I walked away.

     *time skip*

    I rushed into the satelite camp;E Class,a few minutes before the bell rang.

    "Good morning Sayaki-chan!"Koro-sensei greeted.

     Putting up a facade,I smiled and walked to my seat.

    Red.

    My pale hands were red once more.

    I glanced out the window.

     Wait.
  
     That pink haired girl was there again.

         Rin...

      Wait.....Rin?

     Her name sounded familiar but I couldn't recall a single memory of her.

      Red.

      Red again.

       She glanced up at me.

         I flinched.

         And she went into hiding again.

  
A/N

    Ohayo!!!Gosh....I nearly cried when I was writing Sayaki's flashback.....But it was also cringy AF....Sheesh...Accused of murder when she was just 13...Well then.... BUBYEEEEEEEEE
