Lock: Met an Upside-down Girl

Chapter 1: Today

Lock's POV

I looked around my surroundings to make sure I am on the right path to school. As soon as I saw the cafe that I went into after I enrolled, I knew I was on the right way–

Suddenly at the corner of my eye, I saw what it looks like a girl in a school uniform, walking the same road as mine. She was actually very good-looking despite that she was a bedhead–her dark hair fell everywhere around her shoulder yet she still looked pretty and cute. I went closer to her but I was still unnoticeable within her presence, this time I could see most of her face. Her hazel eyes looked dead, button nose, cute small lips and pale skin.

Suddenly she bumped into me and I almost lost my footing.

"Hey, watch where you're going." she berated and frowned at me. I breathed calmly then looked at her.

"You're the one who bumped into me."

"Oh yeah? It seems like you did that on purpose."

"I didn't. But it seems like you did."

She suddenly started walking away from me. Ah of course, girls being on the rag. I continued to walk ahead of me and soon I could see the Greensky International Academy towering over me. I could feel the aura from here at the school gate, that's one of the best academy for you.

...

First day wasn't bad, and wasn't good either. Some discussions with the school regulations and class rules but I didn't pay much attention. Talked to a few classmates (though there were some who were absent) and lower year students. I still wouldn't say I made friends today. The school bell already rang and students were all on their way to their own business, I was already on my way to the train station. I still have to wait 10 minutes for the next train to arrive so I placed myself to a nearby bench. Surprisingly I was alone and it bothers me as I am used to crowded places. I closed my eyes and settled into my thoughts for a while until I feel the bench shook a bit and made me jump in my seat.

"It's you."

I looked at the person beside me, it was the girl I bumped this morning. She had her hair flowing down to her shoulder blades, her hazel eyes are now clear but shows only a hint of heaviness. It was until then I realized how small and cute she was when she frowned at me and asked, "why are you here?"

"Just glad that I'm taking the same train with a beautiful girl."

She turned her head away from me, then I added, "ah, isn't that too easy to make you blush?"

She suddenly turned to face me with glaring eyes and said, "I'm not blushing! You haven't even apologize that you even bumped to me in the first place."

I gave her a dead look, leaned a bit closer and said, "You are the one who bumped into me, I think you are the one who should apologize."

She didn't flinch even once and still kept glaring at me. Well that did not work. I sat back and held my head high. I also heard the dark haired girl sigh beside me, making me feel somewhat aroused and opened my eyes out of panic. She noticed and sighed again but more silent.

"I guess I set the bar too high," she said and looked straight ahead, looking disappointed. "I never thought you have such lewd thoughts."

"W-well what could you expect," I was caught off guard that I stuttered, but I managed to keep my composure and said, "Would you care to explain how you know such thoughts of guys then?"

She showed a hint of surprise on her eyes in a blink and was about to open her mouth to talk but I interjected and said, "what a twist, a pretty girl with a dirty mind."
