I fliped the paper and tapped my pen on it.

Age:15
And other shitty matter telling me its an admission form. I read it once again and sighed. Am bored. Waiting for the minute hand to strike the number six in the colck which was hung on the wall. Every thing was silent. Hell, whole school was silent. I dont understand my mom Arata woke me up at five made me ready at seven and sent me school at eight. Which I suppose was earlier. I gazed at my home room teacher Richard steve who's brown eyes was focused on the paper staring it ever since I stepped in his office. He was pretty young for a teacher. I mean he looked younger than most of the teachers I saw in my past school. His chocolate eyes lifted up from the paper and met mine. He smiled.
"Looks like iruzaki completed her form." he said.
"Yes,sir." Long back. My mom who enrolled me in this tokyo junior high without informing me,told me this suprise yesterday night,which nearly made me freaked out.Atleast she should have completed this whole admission shit without leaving the mess. Bell rang loud in my ear waking me up from my thoughts.
"Shall we go to your new class Iruzaki?" Richard sensei(Teacher) said. I nodded.
I stood outside the class room and steve entered into the class. Whole class rose to its feet and wished 'ohayo!'(Good morning) to him.
"students!" he said,the whole room remained silent.
"We have a new transferd student" the class room 'Oooed'. "And more importantly she's not native to this place and well u should take care of her." He declared. And the whole class room 'Aaahed'. I exhaled. Actually,I am half-native to this place, since its my mother birth place after all.
'Iruzaki,come in.' Steve called me.I inhaled and stepped inside the class. Silence. Not a word had been heard. I can feel eyes on me. Several. I marched past the desk and stood beside the teacher and turned to face the class. I heard the some gasps. Out of the corner of my eye I saw few mouth wide open. I quickly turned my head and I gasped. What the hell? Kanata.I frowned.Out of all schools in the world should he and his hopeless gang should be in this school? Out of all school in the Tokyo should my mom should enroll in this school? Sensing my discomfort his surprised face was slowly turned into lazy grin. He mouthed 'hi'. my frown deepened. He then turned to his bench mate and whispered something in his ear. His bench mate eyes widen in some enlightenment and threw me a smile.
' Alright,Iruzaki introduce yourself. ' Richard sensei said. I snapped my gaze away from them and faced the class.
'I am Iruzaki Miwa. I am from India. although am half -native,I cannot speak Japanese.hope you cooperate and take care of me.' I said and quickly turned my gaze to the left which was quiet bothering me. There he sat with wide emerald eyes and discomfort filling him.His palm which I suppose earlier relaxed was turned into tight fist.I was surprised when I saw hatred in his eyes.I frowned. He turned his head towards his benchmate,who was whispering something in his ear. he stared my eyes and inhaled.Infront of them was a girl just like them their features doesn't met the feature of Japanese. Her platinum blond hair was tied into ponytail just like me, her hair was so light coloured one might mistake it for grey. Her pale blue eyes was just like them was widen instead this was staring me fondly.'FOUNDLY'. A sudden chill crawled my spine.
'Iruzaki, go and sit beside that blond haired girl.' Richard sensei said beside me.i quickly turned my head.
'No,sir. i dont want to sit there.' I blurt. and turned towards that girl,and my gaze snapped towards kanata sitting at the next row beside her.
'well Iruzaki its the only place wich was empty and the whole class is filled. now hurry up and sit beside her,I have to start my class. go.' he said and turned towards the board. I walked towards my place and met her pale blue eyes which was welcoming me and Kanata's black eyes who was grinning and mouthed'iruzaki?' and the green eyes guy which was widen. what was his problem? I shifted my gazed at the blond guy beside him which was neutral. I broke the gaze and sat on the bench.
'Hi' A sweet voice said beside me.I turned towards the smiling face of that girl.
'hey' I said and returned her smile,covering my uneasyness.
'I am namikawa Misaki,nice to meet you' she said with that same sweet voice.Her voice, I think I heard it somewhere.
'Am Iruzaki miwa, nice to meet you too.' I said. she smiled. she's cute.
'And call me miwa am not used being called by my last name.' I said.
'Sure, and call me misaki or misa, which ever u find easy.' she said tucking her platinum hair behind the ear.
'hey are you from here? U don't look like from here. what your native place?' I asked.
'japan.' she replied signing.
'what serioulsy? u dont look ur from here with-'
'the blond hair ,blue eyes, I know' she finshied and laughed softly.
'Alright students today we are going to solve problems of the exercise we just began yesterday. I will be solving first few problems now and rest u have to do it on your own and dont forget I ll be checking your notes at the end of the class' Richard sensei said and turned towards misaki who shifted nervously, and the blond hair guy behind her who was cursing I suppose.He then turned towards the board began to write more like scribbling. what the hell is he writing? I dont understand a shit. It took time for me to understand first few words.It read-'Area of the sector of angle theta equals to theta by three sixty multiply pi r square'. sector? Is it related to sector of the circle?
'Hey Misaki what-'I bit my words as soon I saw out of corner of my eyes she was staring me with a smile.I quickly turned away form her. What the hell? why the hell is she staring me?and what up with that smile on her face?I put my hand across my cheek bone and tried to pay attention. what was her problem? I peeked towards her. she was still staring me. How annoying. I completely turned my head away from her and found myself staring at the black eyes.
'Hey why the hell are you staring me?' I half-yelled
'What is it Iruzaki u want to solve the problem,eh?' my head quickly snapped towards Richard sensei.
'heh? err, no'
'no? but u raised ur hands up.' I then noticed that both my hands are raised above my head. I quickly dropped my hands. He raised a brow.
'I accidentally raised my -hands up.' I answered stupidly. I heard Kanata choke on laugh immediately covered with a cough.
'accidentally?'
'No. I mean, there's a huh, a fly flying here and there' I blurt. Kanata busted in laugh and it was dropped as soon as he met Richard eyes.
'I suppose the fly is now gone.' he said.
'yeah, looks like it's gone.' I said.
'Well, u raised accidentally or whatever your hands up and since you are a new comer I want to see how well u can solve the problem. I saw your syllabus sheet of your previous school. you covered this topic in the your mid-semester .' oh? did I? I don't remember.
' Now tell me the next problem answer.' he said. I stared at the first page of my text book.Why the hell things are so screwed on my first day ? Its all because of these weird bunch of people surrounded me.
'Its 105,problem number 5' Kanata hissed slowly. I quickly turned my page when Richard was reading the next problem in the book.
'well, Its a tough one. But It's solvable.' Richard muttered. what the hell up with the question? I thought it was all about the circles. what the topic we are doing any way? so screwed.
'well, Iruzaki am waiting.' he said. Kanata coughed beside me. I ignored him. I read the question once again. Hmm. I read the question once again. Then it clicked. Hey I know this topic. I slowly began to recall the topic. Kanata coughed beside me once gain. I think the formula-Kanata coughed snapping me from my thinking. damn him. what was his problem .The formula for-he coughed louder. I turned towards him and raised my brow. irritated. he opened his mouth to say something.
'Kanata, you want to volunteer her? no, problem. u can solve it on board if you want. since, you are coughing a lot to get her attention.' he said. some students chuckled.
'err, no.' he said.
'no? I thought you are passing her the answer.'
'passing answer cresen-Iruzaki? I don't even know it sir. Its just that...'he faked the cough.'my throat is bad' he ended.
'Regardless of your throat, I want you to solve the problem in place of Iruzaki.' He said.
'But I don't know it sir.'
'Even if you don't know how to solve the problem you have to solve the problem' He said. Good gracious , how can a person solve the problem if he doesn't know how to solve the problem? he must be crazy .unconsciously I read the question once again and suddenly there was a series of formulas ran in my head and a particular formula stuck with me tightly.That was it. I took the pen and wrote the formula and began to solve the question. I wrote the answer just then my book was snatched.
'what?' I hissed. Richard sensei took the book and began to read. his eyebrow raised.
'you got the answer right Iruzaki. Am impressed. you don't remember the topic well do you?' he asked.
'yeah.' I said.
'that's what I thought, looks like Ryell has a rival this year huh?' he said. Ryell? I turned my head back where Richard was staring and met the emerald grudging for no reason eyes bore into me.
'Seems like it .' he replied breaking his gaze from me.
'I wonder who will be the class president this year. And I can finally see the change of the class president.Maybe refreshing to see the change' he said and smiled at me. I returned the smile. Well, to be honest I don't want to be a class president nor the vice. I don't want to be part of school council. so many responsibility to bear. And not especially with the crazy Ryell guy who was glaring me as if I did something grave to him .and why this year am meeting crazy people? I glanced at Misaki and kanata beside me who were staring the sensei and so is Kanata. I slowly peeked my back. Ryell kept his hand on his angular chin, and other hand was solving problem. His eyes about to lift from paper,I quickly turned my head. Phew!that was close.
'Alright, students now its your turn to solve them by the end of the class. Misaki and Kenji I hope you two understood the topic. Thanks to Iruzaki the hard problem was out. I will check your notes for sure by the end of the class.' he promised and glanced at the watch.
'oh? you have still twenty minutes left hurry up and solve the problems. I wonder this time too Misaki will get extra assignment' he said fixing his eyes on Misaki and the blond guy behind her. Damn. That was scary to fix the eyes on the particular person.
'Cresenta, what are you doing? You are staring richard.' kanata hissed. I quickly broke the gaze, I didn't notice that I was thinking. I read the problems in the textbook. Hmm,solvable.
I solved the problems. It took me a while to slove them, since I have to grasp the formulas. I inclined my head towards Misaki. she was staring at the book frozen. Her hand wont move.I peeked at her book.I had to bit my lip to stop my laugh. she wrote the first question three times and strike it off and wrote the question for the fourth time. she wrote first two steps and froze at the third step.She subtracted seventy-six and hundred and wrote the answer as twenty six. Infact , it should be minus twenty four .That was pathetic. I gazed at her she seemed nervous. Her pale blue eyes was wandering the class seeking for help. She suddenly looked like a bunny .A bunny seeking for help.
'Hey you can take my book' I said, Just then a fair hand came in my vision then the brown hair.
'here.' he said and kept his book on the desk .He was just few inches away from me.
'copy it down quickly and hand it to me ,okay Misa?' he whispered .Are these guys close?
'thank you ken, you saved me!' she exhaled. he smiled .HE SMILED. Did he look gorgeous?
'I 'll copy it down quickly ,You really saved me' she smiled.He went back to his place.But not before meeting my eyes.
I have to wait for a second to make myself calm down before returning my attention to the book.What is up with that look in his eyes? Is it telling me to back off? back off of what? of him ?or is it Misaki? or am I making the things myself up? I exhaled, whatever it was maybe am perceiving things wrong way I guess. Deciding to letting it go I casted my gaze towards my desk which fell on my text book .Where is my notebook? I bent down and saw the clean floor and jerked my head aside and found my book at Kanata's desk who was copying it down rapidly. His eyes suddenly flickered to me and grinned.
'Thank you Cresenta for lending your book .Never knew you are this kind-hearted person.' he winked. I stiffened.
'When did I lend you?'
'Oh? You said earlier here take my book when I am about to asking you.' he said emphasizing 'here take my book' in girly voice.
'I will never forget your kindness you know' he added .I snorted
'oh ,stop it Kanata .That was for Misaki. Now copy it down quickly and hand it over already.' I said.
'Is that so? You hurt my feelings .'I ignored.
'But you know' He whispered in my ear and kept my book on my desk.
'May be you didn't recognized her' he continued .
'She was there at the café, you know yesterday's fight' He trailed. Suddenly, there were flashes of the thin girl with hoodie on asking Kanata to hand over something .So that was were I heard her voice.
'she and both guys at her back' He ended. I peered back this time my eyes went straight towards the blond one .The guy who I thought neutral and the guy who punched Kanata in stomach .The aggressive one .What was his name again? th-th, yeah Theo. He doesn't look aggressive at all with blond hair, a bit tan skin with his brown eyes looking at me eye brow raised.
'What?' he asked.
'Nothing' I said. He smiled .'You were-' 'time is up!' Richard interrupted him whatever he was about to say and bell rang loudly .Misaki passed the book back quickly and pretended to write something on her book .Richard walked towards our bench and smiled at me.
'solved the problems Iruzaki?' he asked.
'Yes sir, I did' I replied.
'What about you Misaki? able to solve the problems?' he asked.
'Yes sir' she quivered. Boy, why she's so nervous?
'Good, I hope you solved them correctly with out any ridiculous mistakes like you did the last time.' he said. she blushed. He took her book and inspected her problems with narrow eyes.
'you did problems on your own? or Iruzaki helped you out?' He asked her.
'Ir-Iruzaki helped me out' she stuttered.
'Did you Iruzaki?' sensei asked. I turned towards Misaki who was looking at me pleading eyes.
'I suppose I did' I said.
'I see, well then Iruzaki help her out when she needs help ,you escaped the assignment Misaki and I suppose Theo completed his too.'
'I did' Theo said.
'Alright class, Read the next topic and tomorrow we'll solve exercise 7.5' he ended.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*
'So it's you I didn't recognize you at all you know' cropped black haired guy said. What was his name again? Fumichi or Fumigicci? Kanata invited me to have lunch with his four guy friends and two other females.
'I didn't recognized her at first too Fumihiro it took me a while to recognize her' Kanata said.
'So you guys met yesterday in café huh? In a fight? that was unexpected. especially with those guys.' Akane said glancing at the table at back where ken ,Theo and Misaki were having lunch and her eyes swept towards Ken.
'But isn't he gorgeous?' she whispered almost dreamily.
'By the way did you return it?' Rika asked ignoring her.
'No, we didn't. Kanata forgot it.'
'Shit, how can you be so careless?' Rika admonished.
'I thought I kept in my pocket ,but hey I brought it today.' He said.
'And what was that thing you were talking about? and why did you even stole it?' I asked.
'I didn't stole it Miwa. Its just a gem stone. I found it on the floor in our class.it looked good so I picked it up. ' he said.
'you have it with you now?' I asked. he nodded and digged his hands in his pocket and showed it. Its a oval shaped brilliant green stone with rough edges it was polished and shining brightly, there's an weird symbol inside it. It was archery man with lower horse body and snake head. that's a weird figure.But the stone.
'Its beautiful.' I murmured.
'Right?' He said keeping it in his pocket.
'Then why didn't you returned to the office?' I asked.
'I was about to you know, the next day when I was heading towards the office and the stone slipped from my hand and fell on the floor at the other side of the wall ken's gang was leaning against the wall. And they assumed I stole it, I told them I did not. they didn't believe it.' he munched the rice.
'so, I played along with them and they stole my locket and the rest you know' he said and took the rice with the chopsticks gracefully and brought it to his mouth. I wonder when will I be able to learn to eat with those chopsticks. I tried twice to eat with chopsticks and successfully failed.
'So you are going to return it this evening?' Akane asked.
'I don't have the choice do I? if I don't return it Theo will beat the crap out of me.' he said.
'So true.' Kazue agreed.
'So the other two are they from here?' I asked.
'yep, they are and those three they are childhood friends.' Rika said.
'Childhood friends? they don't look like th-'
'they are from here but they really are from here .I wondered at first too just like you .'Rika continued.
'Suspicious.' I muttered and took spoonful of rice and chewed it. I glanced at their table and met jade eyes watching me. I choked the food.
'Hey Miwa, are you alright? here drink the water' I coughed.
'Am alright, thanks.' I said and saw ken smirking before he turned his head away.
