The two teens were headed toward the cafeteria, both emitting some kind of bright, happy aura.
As they walked in, nobody really noticed them. The cafeteria was buzzing with noise and there were students everywhere, crowding around one table or fighting over something.

Kaitos POV
Great..even though his mood was extremely good right now, the cafeteria was a place he hated. He hated all the noise and all the students in there. It gave him a headache. He tried to prevent his mood from turning sour but all the buzzing and the shouting was ringing in his head, causing him to cringe a little.
"Are you okay..?" He looked down at the source of the voice and his eyes landed right into someone's brown, hazel eyes. He blushed a little and quickly turned away, covering his face.
She just looked so cute with her big eyes.. He thought
"A-ah yeah I'm fine..it's just too noisy in here.." He admitted. Kaito was more used to being by himself and singing his heart out. He wasn't used to crowds and noisy places.
As they walked toward the line of people that were ordering food, a couple of his classmates shot him dirty looks, like they always do. He had no idea why they disliked him but he wasn't too bothered with it at the moment.
After meiko and him finished ordering and eating, he showed her to class and tried his hardest to avoid eye contact with the teacher, knowing that if she saw him he would surely be punished. Luckily he had pulled it off this time. He silently made his way to his seat at the back of the class and shot a tiny thumbs up to meiko, wishing her good luck.
Meikos POV
She smiled softly and hesitantly walked up to the front of the room, watching the teacher call her forward with her fingers. "Class, meet our new student. Please introduce yourself Ms. Sakine" she said blandly, looking unamused and bored. She hadn't even bothered to lift her eyes from her desk.
Meiko stood there for a while, silence filling the air before she finally snapped out of it and quietly, but hesitantly introduced herself
"H-hi my name is Meiko Sakine! I-I just moved here from the US, n-nice to meet you" the room remained silent, and meiko felt as if the silence was stabbing her in someway. Her legs had already started shaking as she watched everyone look at her with piercing stares, as if they were stabbing into her heart. She was just about to walk away before the entire class began clapping. What..? Why were they clapping? She thought to herself, a bit astonished. Maybe they were just being polite..that's probably it. She bowed slightly and found a seat in front of kaito, sitting down and folding her skirt along with her. After about an hour of the teacher starting lesson, she had already heard several "Did you hear that? She was from America!" And much to her disgust she heard some guys murmuring about "how big her "rack" was". It bothered her a bit but she tried to hide it and not show it, until the end of the period when a couple of guys walked up to her and started flirting with her. "So cutie, how bout you and me go light some 'sparks'?" Ugh. Worse pick up line ever. She thought to herself about what to do and as she was just about to walk away and ignore him the teacher had called her over. A pang of nervousness hit her, scared that she had done something wrong already on her first day, yet still greatful for saving her. As she was hesitantly walking out to the hallway, she kept fidgeting with
The ends of her skirt. Once she got there she saw her teachers stern face, being pulled back at the tightness of the hair tie that tied her black locks into a bun. Her glasses were tilted downwards and her stance had some unexplainable meaning in it and something told her that it wasn't good. "Ms sakine, I should have you know that tardiness is not tolerated in class A. It may be in the lower ones but you guys are advanced prodigies, training to be talented young stars. Do you understand?" She nodded slowly, looking down and fidgeting it's her fingers. "Yes miss, sorry about that" she mumbled remorsefully, bowing a little
"Alright, you are dismissed." The teacher sighed a bit and walked back into the classroom to retrieve her things. Once there she was greeted by a smiling sapphire haired boy. "So how was your little 'talk'?" He smirked a bit, teasing her and holding out her bag for her. "A-ah..! Thank you!" She gently took the bag and slung it around her shoulder, adjusting to the sudden weight. She pouted a bit at his first statement and gently hit him on his arm playfully. "Hmph..meanie..!"
He laughed a bit and smiled at hEr small action, patting her head softly.
"Alright alright, classes are over now, would you like to come over to write some songs?" He asked, tilting his head a little and looking down into her eyes. His stare felt piercing to her, his oceanic eyes digging into her. She didn't have anything else to do, since she lived by herself for the time being so she figured it'd be okay. "A-alright..if that's okay with you!" She beamed happily, glad that she was able to make a friend. "T-thank you!"
