A/N: If you read, can you leave a comment? I'd like some feedback. I figured out how to dedicate chapters, by the way. Who read chapter seven without reading chaptet six? You made my day.

"Rose-chan... Rose-chan... wake up."

My lungs hurt. My neck hurts. My hips and back hurt. Even the limbs that weren't attacked ache. Slowly, I open my right eye and get used to the brightness. Then, I open my left eye.

"A-Aka... Shi?" I mumble, seeing red hair. I doubt Nanase would've helped me, so I assume Akashi helped me.

"You're alive!" exclaims Akashi in suprise and happiness.

"Well, yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"You passed out due to lack of oxygen. Ano... I, uh, did CPR on you..."

"Hey, passing out doesn't necessarily mean I'll die," I snap, "Anyway... is this Nanase or Akashi? My vision is blurry as hell."

"Akashi... Nanase... she, uh, had to go to... ano... school! She had to go to school."

"Isn't it kinda late for school?"

"..."

"I guess she could've enrolled in a school that starts at," I look at my watch, "Ten o'clock."

"She just had to go in for the opening ceremony."

"SHOOT!!"

"What?! What happened?!"

"THE OPENING CEREMONY WAS TODAY AND WE WERE GOING TO GET OUR TIMETABLES AND... NOWWEDON'TKNOWWHATCLASSESWEAREIN!!!" I manage in one breath. I begin panting. Akashi blinks. I blink. The author blinks. Her family blinks. The galaxy blinks. The universe blinks.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Um... maybe... if we hurry... we can make it in time?"

"Good plan! Logan-sama! I'm off to school with my, uh, acquaintance?" Akashi yells, grabbing our bags that have been placed beside the bed.

"Okay! You can take the car, Akashi-chan!"

"Wait! We need the fake card." Akashi pauses.

"Got it right here." We run out of the house and bundle ourselves into the car.

"My school, please, Momo-san." commands Akashi. I look at him and realise that he's actually quite handsome. His crimson red hair and eyes brings out his pale complexion. His eyes are so beautiful; they are the colour of roses, my namesake. Looking into his eyes is like looking at a chest full of rubies. It's just... beautiful. I know I keep saying that, but it's the only-- no, even 'beautiful' can't describe them.

"Please stop staring into my eyes. It's uncomfortable. I feel like you are gazing into my soul..."

"Well, to me, your pupils are a vortex into your soul."

"Ano..."

"We have arrived, young master."

"Arigatogozaimas!" We jump out of the car and into the reception.

"Reason for-- Rose! School Council Presidents can never be late! Fortunately

for you, you're opening ceremony is in an hour. And who is this young man?"

"This is..."

"Konichiwa, watashinonamaeha Akashi Seijurodesu."

"Um... what?"

"His name is Akashi Seijuuro," I cut in. "Uh, what do we do until it's time for the ceremony?"

"Akashi can have a tour while you arrange things with the others."

"Ha-- okay!"

♡♥*After set-up/during the ceremony*♥♡

"Good Morning, everyone." I greet from my place on the stage. Being the president of the Council meant I had to lead whole-school/year group assemblies. Today was a whole school.

"Good morning everyone." chorus the students.

"I hope you all have had a wonderful summer break and are refreshed and ready to learn. Today is our opening ceremony. You will receive your planners and timetables at your homerooms. Before I continue, Miss Jacobs will say a few words."

A/N: No one really needs to know what the headmistress says since it's insignificant. Nor do you need to know the other speeches. If anyone is curious, inbox me and I'll give it to you.

I now realise that I should put these at the end of every chapter. All words are from Google Translate/my own knowledge, so if it's incorrect, gomen.
