Riko was walking down the halls of Otonokizaka, looking into each room. The school year had just begun and everyone had new friends. Except her. She kept walking without any thought on where she was going until she heard a beautiful sound.

It was soothing. It went from a happy tune to sadness. Which soon shifted to anger. The piece had so many emotions weaved into it, it made her follow the music. She went around the corner and walked closer to what seemed to be the Music Room.

You were inside, holding the flute against your mouth and blowing through it. Like you were never out of breath as the piece seemed to drag on and on. But as you finished, Riko didn't leave. Instead she knocked and waited for your response.

"Come in." You answered. She opened the door slowly and entered. "The piece was beautiful. I want to be able to play a song with you someday." You nodded, making her compliment you. "Do you think we could be friends?" She looked at you with hopeful eyes.

"I'm sorry. We can't be friends." You sternly said, making her flinch. "Wh-why?" She cried out. "We just can't." You packed up your flute and left. "I'm Sakurauchi Riko." She softly said. Before closing the door, you only sighed.

xXx

After that encounter, Riko didn't leave your side. Even though she was a first-year and you were a second-year, she didn't mind the gap. Suddenly, the intercom rang, meaning there was an announcement.

"Calling Sakurauchi Riko to the faculty room. I repeat, Sakurauchi Riko to the faculty room!" You looked to the girl beside you who was frozen in surprise. "You didn't do anything wrong, did you?" You asked, although you knew the reason she was called. She shook her head and started walking to the faculty room, leaving you behind.

xXx

"Sakurauchi-san, you can't be friends with (L/N)-san." The teacher said directly. Riko was confused. "Why?" The teacher hesitated before answering. "She is the most important student here in Otonokizaka. Her parents gave this school money ever since her sister started going to school here. If her reputation is ruined by someone, the school's reputation will go down with it." Riko nodded, pretending to obey the teacher.

"Now, if you want this school to continue running, please leave her alone. Dismissed." Riko left the faculty room and went to her classroom. Her classmates looked at her as if she was really in trouble. She sighed.

xXx

You listened intently to the teacher's lesson when you were called to the faculty room. You knocked on the door and entered the room.

"(L/N)-san, glad you could make it." your homeroom teacher grinned. Behind her was the headmaster. "(L/N)-san, I believe you are aware of Sakurauchi Riko, yes?" you nodded. "As you are the school's star student, we need you teach her everything a true student in an all girl school does." you listened to the Headmaster's orders. "I understand." you bowed and dismissed yourself.

You went to Riko's classroom and slid the door open. You bowed in front of the teacher. "May I excuse Sakurauchi Riko for a bit?" the teacher nodded.

Riko stood up from her seat and followed you out the door. "Meet me in the library after class." you sternly said. You didn't let her respond as you left her in the hallway.

xXx

"Chest out. Stomach in. Chin up. Now walk." you straightened Riko's posture and put books on her head. After a few steps, she had fallen for the nth time that hour. "Again. We are not leaving the library until you walk with the proper posture and not failing." she flinched at how much harshness was in your voice.

She stood up and started walking but failed yet again. You furrowed your eyebrows and crossed your arms, waiting for her to stand up. But seeing as she didn't made you very worried.

You took a look at her face and saw it to be very red. 'She has a fever.' you scolded yourself for being too harsh on her. Now look what happened.

You carried her on your back and took both your belongings and carried her to your home.

xXx

Riko awoke in an unfamiliar room. She scanned her surroundings before trying to remember what happened. She blushed once she realized she was in your room. But, if this was your room, where were you?

She stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door and walked to the living room. It was extravagant. With chandeliers up in thr ceiling, paintings on some parts, your family was really loaded. Since she couldn't find you anywhere, she decided to look around.

She walked up a staircase, noticing the carpet on it. Suddenly, on the floor she was on, she heard groaning and soft sobbing. Due to curiousity, she decided to check.

She walked to the door where the sound was coming from, she twisted the doorknob slowly, making sure the one inside couldn't hear. Once she took a peep through a slit she made, her eyes widened. She rushed to your side and looked at your wrists covered in blood.

"(Y/N), what are you doing?!" she was close to tearing up, you could tell. "What are you doing?" you weakly said as Riko began to clean your cuts. "Helping you." she simply said. "You should be resting. You have a fever."

"And leave you here to cut yourself? I'd rather stay here." you laughed inwardly. "Please take care of yourself. Because..... I think I'm in love with you." she whispered. You looked at her in surprise before smiling. "Thanks. I finally know what it feels." Riko looked at you puzzled. "What it feels to be what?" you looked at her. "To be loved." you kissed her. Too suddenly to be accurate.

Riko didn't know how to respond at first. Slowly, she closed her eyes and kissed back. "Thanks truly, Riko." you leaned your forehead on hers and closed your eyes.

XxXxX

"Do you mind telling me why you started cutting?" Riko asked. You sighed. "Maybe because I felt alone and I had no friends. My parents only care for me so I could take over the company in another country." Riko looked at you in concern.

"Please don't cut anymore. Now that I'm here." you pecked her lips. "I won't. Just for you."

This was when I didn't do my research. So some things probably don't make sense.
