{Opening}

I was getting ready for my first day of school. This year is my last year of school, thankfully. I woke up early and took a long shower to get ready. I gave one final look at myself in the mirror.

 "Perfect," I said to myself. I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door, ready to go.

Chapter 1

[Miki]

On my way to school, I looked at everything around me with a new perspective. It all looks so new, so wonderful! I took a whiff at the fresh air and smiled contentedly.

"Miki!" I turned around to see Maya Haruno, my best friend, running to catch up. Maya had long pink hair with bright green eyes. She was the most laziest person I ever met.

"Oh, hey Maya," I told her smiling.

"Hey, Miki. Can I ask you a huge favor?" she asked, with a look on her face that I knew so well.

I sighed, asking, "You didn't do your summer homework, did you?"

She smiled, quietly saying, "Uhh...no."

 "You should do your own homework, you know. Fine, but this is the last time I’ll let you copy," I said. We stopped at the corner, waiting to cross the street. When we did, we hurried across. Then I noticed my keychain kitten fell from my phone.

"Oops! My kitten!"I said rushing to pick it up.

When I picked it up, I heard a car honk at me. I froze, like a deer in headlights. I could hear someone calling my name you me, but I still didn't move...Then I was knocked out of the way and landed on the other side of the road. I opened and saw the most gorgeous green eyes staring back at me. He had light brown hair that hung on his face. He was absolutely gorgeous and we just stared at each other.

"Are you okay?" Green-eyes asked with a deep hypnotizing voice.

"Umm...yes. Except a little squished," I said.

"Oh, sorry," he said getting up. He held out his hand and I took it. He pulled me up and stared at me, still holding my hand. I couldn't help but stare back then I stared blushing and we both looked away, letting go of each other's hand.

"Thank you for saving me," I said shyly.

"It's alright. I'm Rei Hanazawa," he said.

"I'm Miki Hayama and if there's any way I can repay you, please tell me" I said.

He smiled and said, “Well if you let me walk you to school then that'll be enough." I was shocked and started to protest, but Maya ran into me, crying.

"Miki *sniff* I was so scared. Are you *sniff* okay?" she barely said. She was really scared for me.

"It's okay Maya. I'm fine so stop crying. Look, your nose is running," I told her handing her a tissue.

 I turned to Rei and told him,” I’m sorry. Can we take a rain check? I can't leave her like this." Sakura then noticed Rei standing there. She smiled all traces of fear and worry gone, and then smirked.

 'Uh-oh' I thought.

"No no, it's okay. I can walk by myself. See you at school Miki. Bye!" she said taking off.

'That sneaky little!"

"Well we better go before we're late," he said.

"Uhh...What if we got to different schools?" I asked looking for an excuse.

"We don't. We're both wearing the school uniform," he said. And we did. Why I never noticed that is beyond me.

"Shall we go?" he asked. I nodded my head and we started walking.

[Rei]

I couldn't help but sneak peeks at her. She was more beautiful than any other girl I've been with. She had flowing red hair that shimmered in the sunlight and beautiful light gray eyes. Who was she? Why haven't I seen her around before?

"So, Miki. How come I haven't I seen you around before?" I asked. She looked up at me with big gray eyes.

"Well I don't know. Maybe we live in different parts of the city," she said.

 "Hmm. Well where do you live?" I asked. She looked at me defensively.

"Look, I appreciate you saving me and all, but I never intended on giving out personal information," she said angrily. So she had a fiery side. I liked that. I smiled at her.

 "Sorry. I didn't mean to ask personal information and make you angry," I said.

"It's okay," she said as her face softened a little.

"LOOK OUT!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!" Some kid on a bike came speeding down the hill to school. He looked like he was about to crash into Miki, so I pulled her out of the way.

When I did, she landed in my arms. As I held her, I couldn't help but brush away stray hair in her face and smile. As we stared at each other, I leaned over to kiss her. I watched her close her eyes and lean in as well. Then our lips met. Her lips were so soft and it felt as it could last forever. She blushed and hurriedly leaped out of my arms. She stared at me, covering .

 "We should hurry before we're late" I told her. She nodded and we began walking. I couldn't keep my mind off that kiss...and my eyes off her. I could hear people as we neared the school. When we started passing people, they stared and began whispering.

"Isn't that Rei Hanazawa? Isn't his parents like the richest people in Japan?" Miki noticed the stares but seemed confused by them.

Before I could explain, she turned around and told me, "I'm sorry, but I have to help Maya with her homework. Maybe I'll see you later."

I told her, "Sure." She turned and ran toward the building. I had an aching feeling in my heart, wondering when I'll see her again.
