"Alright everyone! Settle down and zip up cause we have a new student joining us today! I'm gonna let her choose where to sit, but be nice to her either way, yeah! Anyway, come on in!" A tall, equally as loud man said, a huge spike of yellow hair protruding from his head, nearly piercing the ceiling.

She came in silently, lip quivering, hair dangling in front of her face, as she stood in front if the class, absolutely terrified of everyone around her.

"Oh. I - I um... I'm H - Hiko. It's nice to m - meet you all," She said sheepishly, before she hurriedly walked over towards a spare seat next to someone. A lean student, with hair a very dark shade of blue, and whose eyes could petrify anything that dared to look into them. The only problem, was that he was more afraid of his enemy than they were of him.

"Can I sit here please?" Hiko said shakily, making it nearly impossible to understand her as she shivered in the sun lit classroom.

"Oh, y-you're talking to me? Go ahead, I don't mind" the equally shy boy squealed, a look of both embarrassed and fear plastered on his face.

The first lesson of the day, taught by none other than Present Mic himself, was English. What a way to wake someone up from a relaxing sleep. Almost everything her teacher said was spoken so incredibly fast and even more incredibly loud, that she could barely understand a word of what he was saying.

"Ugh, this is so difficult," Hiko thought, briefly glancing at every student to try and put names to faces while she was doing work.

It didn't help that the only person she was sat next to...was the shyest person in the world. He had no confidence with or without his friends, and would always get too nervous to speak when he spoke to new people.

The same could be said for Hiko. Her cheeks flared up into a bright red, her ears and nose swiftly transitioning into a light, peach like colour. No words would come out, no matter how hard she tried. To make matters worse, she had no confidence in her own abilities. Whenever she thought something was successful she'd back down again and rethink everything. Thinking too long on what to say, how to say it, the newbie never realised the bell had already rung.

"Alright everyone!! That means that it's time for lunch. Be sure to introduce yourself to Hiko when you have free time! I'm sure she'll appreciate it, yeah!" Present Mic shouted yet again at the top of his voice. So much so that it was able to push back everyone's hair just with the wind produced from it. That was when you noticed something under the elven boys left eye. Staring deeper into it, you hadn't realised the snickers and giggles people were making as they pointed and looked at you, their devilish eyes intruding on unguarded ground. Realising this, you backed down as you were certain you would get to see it later during lunch.

"No I would not like that at all sir. But thanks anyway," she muttered to herself, staring at the singular piece of paper that had been folded into a most intricate shape. The smallest butterfly was on her desk, but it could not fly.

How unfortunate.
