[A/N: Ohmygod, reading my past author's note in each chapter was very embarassing. Im such a weab lmao]

Yuka

"That's 800 yen thank you." The cashier said and patiently waited for me to pull out the money. I internally winced and shuffled through my wallet.

"You look very flustered, Ma'am." The young boy said. I looked downed not knowing what to reply.

Murmuring a thank you, I headed out the convience store. I sighed inwardly.Man, it was tough living eating take outs and cup noodles from convinience store.

I was pelted by droplets of rain, but meh, im not bothered by it. I am already drenched, so what's the point of using an umbrella?

Turning a sharp left, I walked faster because my body was already shivering from the coldness the rain brought.

Almost running, I was stunned at the sight I saw.

2 young and handsome men were walking side by side. The black haired one was handsome alright, but damn, that purple haired one was different.

I found his droopy eyes are very attractive. His arms are long, I wonder what will be the feeling when he hugs me? His bony hands, will it feel warm when he hold hands together? His tall and lean built was making me more attracted towards him. I wonder what is his name?

Shaking the thoughts I am thinking, I ran towards my house, not aware of the 2 pair of eyes following me.

Quickly heating water in a kettle, I found my way upstairs to get a fresh pair of clothes. I pulled my towel from the rack, and went downstairs to finally take a shower.

I poured the pot full of how water into the tub. My mind drifted off to the purple haired giant I met a while ago. Damn.

Finally submerging into the tub, I gleefully let out a sigh.

The strawberry scent was very alluring and it lulls me to sleep. My eyes flew opem when I remembered I must eat dinner and ready my art materials for the art class tomorrow.

My skirt was actually a little shorter than I expected. Its either I grew taller, or I didnt realize it until now.

I was already heading downstairs when my cellphone started bitching out.

Calling...Dad..

"Hello?" i answered.

"How are you?"

"I thought you never cared?" My eyes rolled upwards and continued walking.

"Please dont be like that-"

"Am I suppose to feel sorry? Im never going back."

"Your grandfather is getting worried."

"And here you said he threw me out the damned mansion. What am I supposed to believe now?" I closed the door and approached my bicycle.

"Bye."

See? That's how fucking rude my Dad is. He is just selfish.

Ive never met my mother though. My grandfather said he died before my 2nd birthday.

Carefully parking my bicycle and locking its wheels, I proceeded to get inside the building.

The school smelled of Clorox and bleach, like laundry, with the smell of stinky floor. I inhale, taking no much from the smell. My head was turning as I go through the corridors, slowly taking in the environment I should be used to.

The doctors just prescribed to stay away from the smell, but I couldn’t avoid that much, since it’s utterly unavoidable. I have to flinch and cover my nose and mouth, but that doesn’t do much.

Besides, it wouldn’t do much damage to my body besides tripping and bumping my head after I faint. Maybe it does make damage.

I can’t run, though. I just quickly made my way to my first class (thank goodness it was just a sharp turn after the Hall) and I begun to take my seat. Ms.Yukiko Nakahara, our arts teacher,didn’t mind my sudden burst through the door, because she knew about the smell, and my odd behaviour towards it.

She quickly nodded, then resumed on placing the small landscape of a bowl of fruits, a small figurine of a ballerina , and a Victorian flowered background. I quickly shuffled through my bag, searching for my pastels and colours. I started to draw.

I can feel my arms extending through the canvas, the pastel gently placed in my front. The material was slightly oily, which reminds me strongly of my mother’s delicate, caramel brown hair I saw on pictures. I drew the straight line of the table and begun to shade them down with its shadows.

“Yuka?” Reika whispers beside me.

“What?” I whispered back.Reika was my bestfriend.You thought I don’t have any friends eh? But Reika was an exception.She was the one who noticed me and she doesn’t like the company of those mean,social climbing bitches.With her silky, black hair, she looked like a goddess of jerkiness. She peeked at Ms.Nakahara for the second time.

"Have you seen Himuro-kun?" She said and giggled.

Ah. The transfer student. News said that there is a new student that came all the way from America. And he was no ordinary student, he was an attractive one. It spreaded like a wildfire when they heard that the student joined the elite basketball team of Yosen High.

"No I haven't." Clearly, I'm being more unsociable because I have been avoiding everyone in this school like a plague, besides from Reika though.

She giggled more and held my arm, "You should have seen him smile at me, Yuka-chan. His teeth are all pearly white! His attractiveness double whenever he is with Murasakibara-kun!" She squealed.

Because of the move she did, I dropped my pastels. I glared at her, yet she gave me a grin.

I shook my head and picked up the pastels.

"Murasakibara-kun, you are late. Find a seat and start working on your art piece."

My brows lifted as I heard the name. So Murasakibara is also in this class? I am almost done picking the purple pastel but another hand extended to reach it.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I-" My breath hitched as my eyes landed on the person who held the purple pastel.

It was him. The man whom she saw yesterday. His sleepy eyes piercing her through making her knees tremble.

"Reikachin, is she your friend?" The purple haires giant asked her bestfriend, who was currently in awe.

Reika responded with a nod.

His long arms extended when he reached out for my hand. My blood rushed up to my cheeks at the act.

"Here is your pastel." He said.

The slight contact from his hands and my hand made my whole body burn. It was like he started a spark of fire that made my body succumb into fire and slowly turning it into ashes.

"See you around..Yukachin."
