She walks in elegantly almost as if she's of noble blood of older times. Her white glasses almost matched her silver-white hair that flows down to her waist, her silver eyes are sharper than knives and colder than ice.
"Please go ahead and introduce yourself."Ms. Ito says.
Her voice is quiet but yet powerful, like a flowing stream cutting through the rock, sounding exactly as it was in my dream "Hello my name is Mizuki Watanabe I am pleased to meet you."
She looks around the room then our eyes meet for a second, I feel my chest tighten "What is this I'm feeling?" I think to myself, "Its as if her eyes cut me open."
Ms. Ito looks at Mizuki and then says "Please Ms. Mizuki take a seat at any empty desk you would like."
The entire class falls silent as she slowly walks down the isle, she then sits in the desk right across from me.
Class begins, as usual, I can't help but glance over a few times, now having more questions then I had before. Our eyes meet again and she smiles. I quickly look away, my cheeks are bright red. I've never met anyone like her, I've never felt this overwhelmed by someone's presence to the point where I don't know if I can breathe much less speak.
Class ends and break begins, Ms. Ito calls out to me "Mr. Sato, would you mind showing Ms. Watanabe around so she can use to the campus?"
"No ma'am I don't mind."
I look over at the new transfer student "Ms. Watanabe would you mind coming with me?"
She looks up and says "Please call me Mizuki."
"Um....o-o-o-ok M-m-m-Mizuki."
We walk around the campus, I begin showing her different places "Right over here is the snack stand in case you're hungry, right over there is the women's bathroom and, over here is the gym."
She looks over and smiles, "Thank you for showing me around, Shin."
"Not a problem, I don't mind at all." I smile back at her, then it suddenly hits me "Wait how did you know my name is Shin?"
She looks over still smiling "We've already met twice before right? Once at the Hospital and the second time" she let's out a slight giggle as she slowly reaches up and touches my face "while you were dreaming."
I'm so much in shock that I almost didn't hear the bell, her soft hand falls slowly off my cheek as we turn around and begin to walk back to class. We walk in silence until we reach the door to the classroom, she turns towards me her face almost touches mine she whispers "Meet me after school, I'll tell you everything you need to know." We walk into the classroom without saying another word.
The teacher begins going over the lessons for the day I'm not able to concentrate at all to what she is saying, all I can think about is that girl and what's going to happen after school.
Lunch starts I dig through my bag and grab my instant ramen cup add hot water and start walking to my usual spot outside. Hina is already there but, so is someone else. I got closer to figure out who it was, it was Mizuki. "Seems like they're talking about something" I walk a little slower, Hina notices me.
"Oh Shin, there you are, we were just talking about you."
I smile and say "All good things, I hope?"
"Mizuki was just wanting to get a little information about you."
I look over at Mizuki and say "Oh?"
She looks at me and smiles and says "What can I say I've taken quite an interest in you."
Hina seems slightly uncomfortable after Mizuki says that.
I look over at Hina "So what all have you said about me?"
She replies "Just the small stuff, like how you, your mom, and your sister have been living here for as long as anyone can remember over at my family's apartment complex."
"Oh ok cool" I sit down next to Hina and begin to eat my lunch. Hina looks oversees what I'm eating and punches me in the arm saying "Didn't I tell I would cook for you if you wanted me to? I brought the sweet and sour pork."
She hands me a box and my mouth begins to water as I open the lid.
"It looks amazing Hina."
Her face turns red "Thank you."
As I start to eat I don't notice as Mizuki gets very close on the other side of me and gets to the point I feel something huge but soft touch my arm.
"Um..... Mizuki?" Mine and Hina's faces are bright red at this point.
"Is there something wrong Shin?" She says as she tries to get even close.
"Your um....your bre-"
Hina almost yells "You're rubbing your melons all over him!"
Mizuki backs off about a centimeter "Oh whoops didn't even notice." Hina begins to watch Mizuki and Mizuki is watching Hina back, each one of them slowly scooting closer and closer towards me while I'm wondering what the fudge throwing monkeys is going on. They are touching both of arms at this moment, after what seemed like an eternity later the bell rings again.
"Thank goodness, I am saved by the bell." Or so I thought, I forgot one tiny detail.....we're all in the same class.
We get back to the classroom and sit down in our seats the tension is about as high as it was outside. They're stealing glances at me and then each other.
School finally ends and as promised, I go to meet Mizuki after school. Hina agreed to walk Yui home for me because I had business to take care of.
Mizuki is at the gate I walk up to her and ask "You ready to head out?" She nods and we begin walking.
I begin to ask questions but she shuts me down and says "not here" I follow her down the road not really paying attention to where we are till it hits me we're at the apartment complex I live at we walk to an apartment that's next to mine she pulls out a key unlocks the door and we walk in, she asks me to sit on the couch and wait for her to change she walks in what seems to be her bedroom. She stays in there for a good 10 mins before coming out.
She walks out where a tank top and shorts and sits down next to me.
"So what do you want to know?"
