"I wonder what's taking Satsuya so long.. Oh there he is." (Kisa tells herself, while looking at the door) Three minutes before the bell rings. You're pretty lucky you made it before the bell rang, otherwise you'll be tardy again. (Chemistry Teacher says) That's Satsuya for you guys. (A classmate adds, as Satsuya finds his seat) "Oh Kisa, I'm sorry, I couldn't walk with you to class. (Satsuya says) "Oh no, it's OK Satsuya, it's fine. You've been really helpful today, thank you." (Replies Kisa with a smile) "Why does her smile feel like a deja vu?" (He tells himself) So class, today we're gonna talk about how ions and chemical bonds bond together to make a new chemical. "I have a feeling that this year is going to be very fun!" (Kisa happily tells herself) Oh, I almost forgot, class? we have a new student today. (Announces Lorikan sensei) Natsumé? You may come up and introduce yourself. "Ok Lorikan sensei, I will." (Politely Replies Kisa while standing up) "Hello everyone, my name is Kisa Natsumé, but people call me Natsumé. I transferred from Highland High School from America to this school. I also came here for a reason. "Here goes nothing…" (she tells herself) "You see...the reason why I came to this school is because I'm looking for someone. Thank you for having me." She's looking for someone? I wonder who it is… I wish a drop dead gorgeous girl like her was looking for me… ew, get away you perv… (the class murmur) Okay class! Let's welcome your new classmate. (The class welcomes Kisa) you may go sit down. "Thank you Lorikan sensei." (She thanks him)

hey Kisa? (Satsuya quietly calls) "Huh? Um.. yeah Satsuya kun" (She replies) "Why did I add kun to his name? Stupid, stupid, stupid." (She embarrassingly asks herself) "Umm… Kisa? Kisa? Natsumé?" (He calls again) Huh? (Kisa turns red) "D-did h-he just s-say my last name? It sounds so good when he says it. Wait! What am I saying." (She says, then asks herself) "Kisa?" (He calls again) lOh sorry. What were you saying, Satsuya?" (She asks) "Did I make him mad? Oh, no that's the last thing I want to make him feel" (Kisa worries) "Maybe, I'm making her uncomfortable. It seems like she doesn't like talking to me much." (He tells himself, then the bell rings) Ok class, have a good rest of your day, and don't forget to do your homework. "Oh no, Satsuya is leaving! I must talk to him." (Kisa tells herself) "Hey, Satsu-" (She calls, then gets interrupted) Hey Natsumé Chan! I'm Larita Katsura, nice to meet you. (Her classmate introduces herself) "Umm…I...He's leaving." (She hastily says, as she looks at Satsuya Leaving) Hey, Natsumé Chan? What's wrong? (Her classmate worries) "Oh no, I'm fine." (She says with an uneasy smile) "I'm not fine at all." (She tells herself)
