Irus P.O.V:

Still a bit nervous, I enter the classroom, which was almost filled with people. I felt so scared at that moment, I wanted to run away and hide... But then, the words my brother told me started to sound in my head: "Stay Brave". I took a deep breath and I finally gain enough confidence to walk between everyone. In the place there was only one empty seat, it was next to a girl with pink eyes and short hair, which had two little pigtails on both sides with red laces holding them and also decorating in the front. She was looking at her phone, but from where I'm I couldn't see what exactly... I walk closer to her...

Irus: Umm, excuse me... Is this seat empty?

????: Yeah...

Irus: It doesn't matter if I sit here, right?

????: No, not at all... Go ahead.

Irus: Thanks a lot!

I leave my handbag on the side of the desk, then I sit. She keeps her look at her phone, which had "manga" on it...

After some time she looks at me with a bit sour face.

????: So, you are...?

Irus: Oh, I apologize! My name is Irus and yours?

Natsuki: I'm Natsuki.

Irus: Well, it's a big pleasure meeting you!

Natsuki: Yeah, mine too...

Our conversation continued for a while, she asked me about my last school, what things I like, and other things... Then, the bell rang and the teacher arrived. Nothing very special happened: I introduced myself to the class, we learn things... At least no one throws me into the trash or steals my food or money... I continued to talk with Natsuki in her free time, still, she was a bit distant...

We meet again at lunchtime, but she looked nervous...

Irus: Hey, Natsuki, is everything alright?

Natsuki: Yeah, I'm.

Irus: Umm, are you sure?

Natsuki: ... Agh, w-well... I think I can tell you... But don't go telling this to others got it!?

Irus: Don't worry, I won't.

She looks in both directions, then crosses her arms and continues.

Natsuki: It's just, I... I forgot my money for lunch... I mean, it's not the big thing, but... I got used to it.

Irus: Well, maybe I can help you.

She looks at me curiously as I took my lunch from my bag: two containers with spaghetti made by me. I took one and put it closer to her.

Irus: Here, I brought more for this kind of situation, and you need it more than me.

Natsuki looks at me, but this time it was different... In all the day she seemed rude and distant, but now it was a more friendly face, sweeter...

And beautiful...

Natsuki: Irus... Thank you... So much... You're a nice friend...

A friend... Wow, it's been a long time since I heard that word... All this time I was so lonely, but now... Now, I finally have a friend!

Irus: It's no problem for me. Anyway, why don't we go and take a good spot?

Natsuki: You said it!

And with that, we went to a picnic table in the yard of the school... With my friend...

My first friend ever...
