"Please welcome your new friend, Rio Damon!", the home teacher of 3A clapped his hands thrice as he welcomed the new transfer student. The rest of the classroom followed by clapping along with the teacher.
Rio smiled brightly as she could despite sweating nervously in her mind as she felt four intense glaring from the two gradient haired twins and the ashen hair coloured twins.
Although it felt like that to her, Rirota and Riro only watched her with their cautious eyes while Virgil and Vee was staring blankly toward her with no interest whatsoever.
"Ah, there's an empty seat beside Virgil twins, Damon-san.", he pointed out the male ashen haired boy's empty seat to his left. Rio shuddered slightly as she could feel some piercing gazes while she walked herself to the empty desk.
Again, it was a little misunderstanding of the Rirota twins as they were making sure that Virgil won't bother the new transfer student.
Virgil sighed heavily as he faced Vee with a quiet whisper, "Can't those two stopped staring at us? I'm not even interested in dating anyone...", he subtly glanced toward Riro's face and averted his eyes down on the desk after noticing her stern expression.
Vee rolled her eyes over Virgil being interested in that specific girl, "Meh."
Rio sat down and smiled to her left's partner, "Hi, what's your name?"
The girl smiled as she named herself, "Ayani Kujo, you can call me Aya-chan, Rio-chan.", she continued her words without a pause, "I'm this class' representative, you can ask me any questions and I'll try to help you, okay?"
Rio nodded with a cute hum, "Mhm!", however she felt sweats dripping down her forehead from the glaring coming from Rirota and Riro's side. Rio leaned over to quietly whisper into her new friend's ear, "Why are they staring at me like that?"
Ayani took a glance toward her eyes pointing toward the two Rirotas as she sighed lightly, "They're curious of you, they're not a bad person I can tell you that."
Rio frowned for a moment but recovered into her usual smile, "I see?"
Rirota and Riro faced back to the blackboard after hearing an 'Ahem.' from their home teacher. Rio didn't feel the pressures from them anymore after watching their backs for a few seconds.
The gradient haired twins however, felt a stare on their backs as they fought their sheer will to not face at the same person they stared at during her introduction. Rirota glanced to his left and whispered in a quiet voice, "I don't think I have memory of a Rio, do you?"
"No. Not even her family name, Damon, as well. But, from the rumours we heard earlier on the way to school. Don't you think that she also enroll here with a 'brother'?"
Rirota nodded slowly, "If that rumour is true, sure. Otherwise, seeing is believing."
Riro agreed with a soft hum, "Mm. Good point."
After a few minutes went by as the two of them listened to the teacher's teaching, Riro whispered to her right softly, "Hey, brother."
Rirota felt like he knew what she wanted to ask him, because he also felt the same kind of stare coming off from a certain someone who had recently transferred into their classroom. He sighed faintly letting only the person beside him hear, "I know... she's still staring at us, is she attracted to you or something?"
Her body shook from the thought of that, she whispered back in an agitated voice, "H-Hell no, I'm into boys, so maybe it's you that she's into!"
Rirota leaned slightly forward to adjust his face to see Riro's blushed face, he faced the board, keeping his lips hard to read for the person staring them, "Hm, should I just..."
He leaned his face against hers, startling her with redness as she felt a smooth feeling kissing her cheek. Rirota felt the staring suddenly intensified and not settling down any longer, [Fuck!]
"!?", a swift punch straight to his face as he tanked through the attack. His eyes shone in amazement as he faced her with one question in his mind, "Hey, wanna fight for real after school?"
Riro who was still blushing, covered her eyes with some obvious gaps between her fingers to glare at him, "G-Get lost... that Rio girl is still staring at us!"
Rirota sighed heavily as he felt dejected from her direct refusal, he slumped over his desk with exasperated look. In the midst of his sluggish actions, the two of them felt the glaring stopped almost immediately. However, Rirota then felt a strange stare kept at him the entire sessions of the morning classes.
*rrriiinnnng~*
Recess.
Both Rirotas immediately stood up to leave the classroom only to be stopped by a girl's voice behind them. They turned around as they stared at the person who stopped them wearing a beautiful smile directly for a certain man in her eyes.
It was as if Riro could see the reflection in Rio's eyes as she turned her face almost mechanically toward Rirota.
"Let's go to the cafeteria together!"
Rirota looked into her blue sparkling eyes as he subconsciously tilted his head, showing more of his neckline as he was confused by her strange glare from earlier. Something clicked in his mind as he knew what the fuck was the strange stare is about!
He pointed at himself, "Why me?"
Riro patted his shoulder as she whispered into his ear, "Hey, I'll be at the usual spot where the birds chirping, y'know where, right?"
He nodded as they felt a threatening glare at them, he faced at the person behind the stares as it immediately ceased when he locked eyes with her.
[She's freaking weird!] -Rirota.
[Oh shit, she's that kind of girl!] -Riro.
Virgil had enough of this situation as he butted in to grab Rirota by having his arm around his neck as he sounded happily, "Let's go eat, Rirota-kun!", with his terrible acting skills.
Rirota at first frowned from the sudden personality swing from Virgil but realised quickly that he was helping him out of the situation, "Oh, sorry, Damon-san. I've got plans with my sister and friends."
Rio was shocked but sighed with pity, "N-Next time, then... umm."
"Rirota Xalysia, nice to meet you.", he replied with his name without hesitation as he felt a tug against his neck, "A'ight, alright! Get off me and let's hurry up!"
Virgil and Rirota left the classroom, it left some kind of impact on several students who decided to eat their meals in class but mostly it left Rio behind a heavy heart.
The class rep of 3A also felt suspicious with the sudden development of Rirota and Virgil's relationship, "Did Rirota do something to make Virgil act like such?", I can't believe someone would actually believe his---
*cough* *cough*
"He's really interesting...", her eyes seemed dull for a moment before a familiar voice called out for her, "Rio, you're in this class right?"
The similar appearance of the boy's face and elven ears with Rio had poked his head into 3A's classroom looking for her, "Ah.", he smiled as he found her but immediately frowned after noticing her dull eyes.
"Who did this to you, sister?", he asked with a worried face, he felt deep hatred already to whoever that caused her bright eyes to lose her sparkles. Rio shook her head as she forced a small smile, "Mh-mhm... No one did, I'm... fallen for someone...", she blushed, giving Ritoxen a jolt in his heart.
[Who the hell stole her heart? No, it has to be a fluke... I need to get to the bottom of this myself!], he held Rio's hand to catch her attention, "T-Then... shall we go find him?"
Rio's eyes brightening up from her brother's helping hand, she nodded with a firm and cute hum, "Mhm!", as it brought a smile to the brother's heart.
Although, it caused a stir in his mind, [Whoever you are... I'll judge whether you deserve my dear sister or not!]
And of course, the opposite in her mind, [Rirota-kun... ehehe~]
