Iwasaki Minako POV::
BEEP,BEE-
"Mmmm...Hmph.."
I woke up a bit dazed, in the end I couldn't get any sleep. I keep on having dreams of what happened between Satoshi and I in the infirmary and reading over my drafts didn't work, it only made it worst. I look around in my room.
"Did I fall asleep in my glasses again?" I yawned.
It happened to me a lot when I started wearing them... I wasn't surprise by it happening as I got out the bed and walked out of my room towards the kitchen.
'That's wired..' It takes a while for my eyes to adjust after waking up but I can see clearly now. Maybe I should have the doctor check on me.
I walk in the kitchen to be invited by a sweet aroma.
"Good Morning." He said.
"Good morning." I reply as he turn to me.
He almost drop the wooden spoon causing me to frown.
"What??... I know my morning face is not presentable."
"Its not that." Satoshi said, turning back to the stove.
"I never know you can cook." I said, walking up to him talking control of the meat that's in the frying pan. I help him Sauté it.
"Uh yeah..When my mom taught me as a kid." he said.
"I bet she was a nice woman."
"No she's not..." Satoshi said as I felt a dark arua around him.
I then decided to change the subject,
"Where's Kou?"
"He forgot about his homework so he's doing it now...hopefully." He said looking at me then look away.
'Why is he acting weird?' I turn off the stove and prepare the dishes, after I walk out the kitchen leaving him to continue.
"Could it be that he's angry at himself for what happened yesterday?"
Satoshi POV:
"Her eyes...They're beautiful."
Iwasaki Minako POV:
I walk in the study area to see Kou seating on the floor side the table his head resting on the books sleeping.
I peep over on his book, I look at the only answer that hasn't been answered, I knelt down besides him.
"Oh.. I know this." I pick up his pencil and erase the incorrect circled answer that Kou had.
"Mm..Hmph.." He then got up and turn facing me our eyes met. He immediately back away from me.
"Whaa.??"
"Sorry if I frightened you." I said.
"Uhh...Its okay." He then look at his book, "Is it not right?."
Shaking my head I spoke, "No it's not. I've done it before."
I then showed Kou the correct way to do the math's problem.
"Thanks I was having a bit of trouble with it." He said softly.
I giggle, "Even if you had a perfect score you can't slove all the problem in the world, Even the simplest ones."
He look away from me embarrassed.
"Its okay, no one isn't perfect." I said. He turn towards me and I smile and ruffle his hair.
He reminded me of a little brother. He pull away pouting and I laugh.
I then look up at the time, "We have to get ready soon....."
I got up, "I'll be using the bathroom first."
I head straight to to bathroom, seeing that Satoshi is preparing breakfast all I can do now is to get ready.
I walk in the bathroom and turn towards the mirror.
"uh?" I took my hand and wipe the fog away.
My eyes widened as I touch my face. I let out a scream.

Kou POV::
I watch as Minako walk out of the study room.
'Her eyes, Why was it that colour?.... Well its not like it don't suit her, it actually made her cuter.' I taught
I felt my face getting hot as I remember her face earlier. So innocent.
I lay down back on the table.
I know I hardly know her but I don't know why am having these feelings.
"Hey where's Minako?" I was snapped out of my thoughts.
I turn to Satoshi as I spoke, "She's in the bathroom."
"You notice it too right?" He asked.
"Yeah...Do you think?" Kou asked.
Satoshi shake his head knowing what am talking about, "No its not.. or we would of felt it."
SCREAM!
Both Satoshi and I quickly ran to the bathroom busting the door open after hearing Minako screaming. We both saw Minako staring into the mirror.
I let out a sigh of relief, 'She's just surprise.'
Minako turn to us and spoke, "My glasses....eyes... I can see well."
Her sentences was a bit off, but both of us caught on to what she was saying.
"Clam down Minako." Satoshi said.
"Why can I see clearly without my glasses?" She asked.
"Oh..That's one of the enhances." I said placing a finger in the air.
Satoshi nodded in agreement, "You're sense will be 5 times stronger than before."
"Oh.. I see.." I look at Minako who was processing the information.
She then look at us, "Could it be that it also affect the colors of my eyes?" She held on to her face.
We nod, Both of us didn't know the real reason for her eye colour changing, but for now let's go with her idea until.
Her deep purple eyes had became lighter and had a shades of pink in it.
Satoshi and I found ourselves lost in them.
"Hey guys?" Minako said.
'I still need to use the bathroom.'
I ended up reading her mind, I wasn't the only one,We both look at her, "Oh yeah...we're...going."
We walked out the bathroom leaving Minako.

Iwasaki Minako POV:
I wonder if the guys are ready. Outside have been quite since I came in my bedroom. I pick up a ponytail, to put in my usual style.
SNAP!
"Uh?" I look at the burst ponytail in my hand, ".....It burst...."
I search through the dresser, "It was the last one." I murmured.
"I guess am letting down my hair today." I haven't wear it like this for some time.
I place my hand around the uniform that hug my waist revealing my curviness.
A change once in a while is good I guess. I then pack up my bag, before leaving the room I put on my glasses, My eyes hurt a bit but I would be able to manage.
I met the guys waiting at the door for me.
"Wow you guys are quick." I said. Although I was the first to shower the guys beat me.
They both look at me.
"Why are you still wearing the glasses?" Kou asked confused.
"I don't feel right without them." I simply said.
Satoshi walk up to me, "Why are you hiding them?"
"Uh?"
"You're eyes." He said.
I look down, "Am afraid I'll be made fun of.." I said in a whisper. Satoshi held up my chin towards him then spoke,
"Butterflies don't know the colour of their wings but another can see how beautiful it is."
My eyes widened.
" And you're putting a strain on them." Satoshi said removing glasses.
Satoshi look at me his cheeks turn a lighter shade of pink.
'Uh?...Did Satoshi just blush?' I thought, because the glasses was putting a strain on my eyes, my vision was slightly off so I rub my eyes and blink a few time but Satoshi was back to normal.
"Let's go." Kou said.
"Oh..Okay."
We all walk out of the house.
Walking to school become more fun, Satoshi and Kou was accepted easily as my siblings in the community. I think they both have something to do with this. Like brainwashing them or something.
"Nako..Minako."
"Uh?" I look up at Kou.
"You're spacing out again...I wonder what's going on in that mind of yours." Kou said patting my head.
"Can't you read minds?" I asked smiling.
"Yeah.. but we don't invade people privacy if needed." Satoshi said.
I laugh, "Okay."
------------------------------------------------------------
Bell had already ring but we had 5 minutes before the second bell.
"Bye Kou." I wave my hand at Kou as we separate.
Satoshi and I walk to our class.
"Hey whose that cutie walking besides Satoshi?"
"I don't know.. could it be his girlfriend?"
I heard whisper as we approached our class.
We then walked in the classroom all eyes were on us. I felt nervous.
'Maybe I should of worn my glasses.'
"Hey is she new?"
"Why is she with Satoshi?"
"Wow she's really beautiful."
I heard more whispers from my classmates, 'I guess they don't recognize me.'
I look up to see Satoshi with the same serous expression.
I then look around the class and saw Aoi talking to a group of girls. I ran towards her.
"Aoi...everyone is looking at me weird." I hug her.
"MINAKO IS THAT REALLY YOU!?" She asked surprise
"WHAT ?!....THAT'S IWASAKI MINAKO.!!!!!!!!!!!" The whole class erupt in shouts.
"Who do you think I am?" I turn round facing them, I saw the boys expect Satoshi who had his head on the desk blush.
I was then surrounded, "What did you do?"
"I never knew your hair was this long."
"You're eyes why is it that colour?"
I was bombarded with questions,
"Umm...ummm...I," I couldn't answer straight.
"Hey give her some space." Aoi said but they ignore her.
I was then pull away from the crowd into the arms of someone.
"Can't you see you're making her nervous and the bell already rang to start class."
I heard some groaning as everyone walk away from me to take their seats.
I look up at the person who had save me from the crowd, his light orange hair sways as I immediately pull myself away from him.
"Shimakazi Sensei," I said surprise.
"Sorry about that." He said smiling, "I saw you getting a bit uncomfortable with the crowd..."
Oh.
"Thank you." I said bowing, "I'll be going to my seat now."
He wave and walk to the fount of the class, and began calling names for register.
I daze out for a while.
"Hiramiki Suzune,"
"Yes!"
I turn my attention to the girl who rase her hand after hearing her name,
"Icimichi Himari,"
"Here!"
"Iwasaki Minako," Mr.Shimakazi called out my name.
"Here!" I shouted, His amber orbs met mines.
He cleared his throat and continued, "Kazune Aoi"
Satoshi name was the last to be called as he raise his hand and not saying anything.
Our first class was Advance Mathematics, We we're only revising for our exam.
I was asked by many teacher if I was a new student. So I had to answer a lot of question with the help of Satoshi.
It then settle down a bit and everyone knew who I was but it didn't stop their. I was approach by guys asking me to to go out with them or be their girlfriend.
"Am sorry but I have to decline..." I said.
"Its okay..but am not giving up yet." he said then walking off.
I sigh then place my books in the locker and close it not realizing something was standing there.
"ah!" I jumped.
"You ready." Satoshi asked.
Calming my unsettled heart, I nodded.
"Sorry if I frighten you." He said.
"Its okay." We walk towards the lab.
We had chemistry, the teacher had already inform us that we'll be in the lab mixing substances, so the heavy books won't be needed.
We enter the lab,
"Seeing that you're both late, you'll be partner's for today's experiment." The teacher said.
We both took our seat, Everyone had started mixing. I look at the writing on the board. It was ingredients and instruction.
"Oh glow in the dark." I Murmured.
"Let's get mixing " Satoshi said putting on protective gear.
"Have you done this before?" I asked as I did the same.
"No but its like measuring for cooking right?" he asked.
I giggle softly so the teacher couldn't hear, "Something like that."
"You'll measure then. I'll get the right chemicals and pour it in the tube." I said.
I got up and walk over to the cupboard, I opened it. The substance was neatly arrange with the names on it.
Reading the chemical that is needed on the board I start to pick them out.
"Oh.." The cupboard shake a bit but not heavy to cause damage.
"Phew." I rest my hand on the door to close it back.
"Minako look out!"
"Uh?" I look up after hearing the shouting. One of the big jar with the unknown substance was at the edge ready to fall.
"Ah!" I clutch on the the rest substance in my hand waiting for the impact but I never came.
"Hmmm...Uh?" I open my eyes to see Satoshi adjusting the jar.
"I made it." Satoshi sigh.
As Satoshi close the door I was surrounded, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
The teacher run up to us, "I need to keep surveillance more...Thank kami nothing happened." She said looking at both Satoshi and I.
She then continued,
"Okay back to yours seats."
We all walk back to our seats and chemistry class continued as the teacher walked around the class, making sure we don't make any mistakes.
It was successful. we we're told to throw the substance on a piece of cloth and fold it any way we wanted to. The substance slightly disappeared in the cloth.
"Hiramiki, Please turn off the lights." The teacher instructed.
"Okay." Hiramiki got up and went over to the switch and with a flick the lights was off.
Our gloves had on the substance as it glowed brightly. We showed it off while laughing.
"Alright start unfolding." the teacher instructed.
The students started unfolding the cloth as an images comes to view.
"Wow." I look at them, some was shaped in a form of a leaf. Others did more complicated folding and when open it was kinda wired looking, but it was still beautiful because of the glow.
"Aren't you going to open Yours?" Satoshi asked.
I had fold mines in a square.
"I don't know if it'll come out well." I said.
"Don't worry." he said, "We'll do it together.."
"okay." We both unfolded it.
I held it up and my eyes widened.
"Even the simplest of things can give the best results." Satoshi said, He give me a small smile.
I look the purple butterfly shaped glowing.
"Its beautiful."
"Do you remember what I told you before we left the house?"
"Yeah." I said.
'Butterflies don't know the colour of their wings but another can see how beautiful it is'
"That's just like you." He said pointing on the cloth. I look at the cloth glowing brightly
"Uh?" I look at him confused as he spoke.
"You're beautiful."
My eyes widen as I felt my heart skipped a beat. I blush.
"Satoshi....."
How can he say these things without feeling embarrass, I look away from him
"Thank you." I said .
The lights the flick on.
"You will be displaying these at the festival, for the chemistry section with two students doing a live experiments..Anyone interested? "
Two girl with a boy push their hands in the air.
"I guess we can also work with three." The teacher said then continued, " Class is now over."
We got up and walk out the lap.
"That was cool." I said. I look up at Satoshi, he was back to his old self.
I couldn't understand his change in mood but I guess if I ask about it his answer will only make me more confused.
Everything went well after, I never had this much fun and because of my sudden change the rumors about my mom went out the window. I think I might enjoy school from now on...
Or so I think....
