Among the Hidden [隠しの中]

Chapter 2

        I held my head up high as I half skipped, half ran to the new kid. I plopped on his desk and waved at him, smiling my biggest smile. “Ohayo!!” I giggled, trying to get his attention.

         He turns around and looks at me disgustingly, before putting his bag in his seat and glaring at me skeptically.

         "May I know why you were staring at me so intently?" He stares at me deadly.  His voice sounds deep, but not that deep.  Typical guy voice, but it has a special ring to it.  Perfect....no I'm not obsessed!

         "O-Oh sorry, didn't mean to offend you so easily, s-sir.."  I look at him, as he turns his head at me, probably about to call it off that I'm strange.  At least I know it myself!

        "You don't need to call me sir, and you didn't offend me.  I just wish not to be stared at or do I wish to be introduced to yourself.  The name is Leo.  Leo James.  Got it? Spread it around, but don't come near me."  I take a few steps back.  Did he really just blow me off?  Whaaaaaaaaaaaat.

        The bell rings and we all scurry to our seats, opening our notebooks and doing school stuff because why not?  We have to spend 18 years doing something, according to all society.  Does he hate me?  Did I do something?  Am I too dumb for his intelligence?  This makes no sense. Ugh, I'll just talk to him at lunch.  Or rather, annoy him at lunch.

         Class ends and we all walk out to lunch, and I fly to Tasuki and Aya's side, and explain how our first discussion went.  When I finish explaining, they burst out laughing and went to pat my head.  

         "Poor Misaki, a guy doesn't wanna be your friend for once.  Or be your boyfriend, I shall say,"  Tasuki chuckles.  I wrinkle my nose at her and pokes her cheeks together, before rushing to Leo, who just turned around the corner.

"Hmph, so.  Sorry about earlier, I tend to be weird to everyone, so you will learn.  So, your name is Leo?  I'm Misaki.  So how'd you like your first class?"  He looks at me sideways, before replying, "Sup, Misaki.  Class is cool, I guess.  Well, gotta go.  Bye."

         I look in disbelief, did I really get blown off again?  Ugh.  Men.
