Intertwine (Strings of Fate) /Chap.2

"I'm the Student Council President of Seika. I'm here to greet you and treat you a tour at our school. I will be your guide here for your first day." She raises slightly her right eyebrow and stares at her with a questioning look.

"Indeed. Is it really necessary?" She asked.

"Well, this is how we handle our new member." She raise the side of her lips more like a smile a sight of interest.

"Is that so? I had better take it. Shall we start?"

"Are you in a hurry Miss Hirasawa?"

"Just call me Alexis" Meter replied with a smile.

"If it's alright with you, Alexis, and you can call me Meter Senpai."

"Fine." For the first time she was intimidated by someone. Someone she only met. In the first place, she felt that she could really trust Meter. There is something in her that made her that she can trust her. They started to walk and went inside the openly wide doors. She was amazed of what she sees but didn't speak it out loud or makes expression. They take the stairs while following the stares of the students watching them intimately. As if, they were waiting for something from her to do. She felt anxious when she tried to meet their eyes they look away. 'Is this how they greet their new member? As if they are waiting for my humiliation.' as she speak in her mind.

"Don't mind them. It is unusual that they see a new face in the school. It's not that often we get transfer student, especially this time of the year." Meter said as if she can read what she thinks.

"Well I already anticipated that. I know how to play your game."

"I hope you understand that, Alexis. I will take you first to Mr. Principal first."

"Sure, thanks"

"Hey! Jiro where are you going?" With his fast steps, he tried to escape from Yuji.

"To the cafeter-"

"Hey! watch out!" Before he knows it he bumps to a figure in front of him, he didn't anticipate that he almost lost his balanced. However, thanks to his reflexes he adjusted to his disposition. As he suddenly open his eyes from the shock an angelic face pops up from his face, the most beautiful bronze eyes , perfect bridge of nose that dominate her face , pink cheeks that give colors to her pale skin, jet blacked straight hair and those attractive red lips that he ever met. Time suddenly stops as he looks carefully at the girl in front of him. He was mesmerized about what he sees. That little moment astounded him. 

"Excuse me." Even her voice made him forget everything. That's when his reminisce gone.

"Huh? What?"

"I said excuse me. Can't you get it?" Alexis replied bluntly.

"Ah, right. I'm sorry."

"You're bothering some people again Jiro."

"Gomen(Sorry), I'm sorry about that Meter nee-chan(Big sis)."

"Yeah right, this is Alexis, Hirasawa Alexis, the exchange student. Alexis this is Jiro Kagami." Meter introduced them to each other.

"Nice meeting you?" Jiro laid his hand for a shake. With hesitation, she accepts his hand for the sake of politeness.

(Alexis' POV) 

There was this guy in the lobby who bumps me, and glared at me...ah wait, stared for correct understanding. I don't know what has gotten in to him. But there was something about him that keeps bothering me. Well I can't think of that right now, I have better things to do than that. After Meter senpai (upperclassman) introduce me to him, we get our way to meet the principal. We strode to the long and wide hallway with white furnishings. This school intrigues me, even these people I've already met. So much for the trouble, what else can be done?

"Ah! You're here Miss Hirasawa!" An old fat man with his brown business suit and his wide big smile greeted me. His smile never escaped from his face that made him much younger at his age.

"Hajimemashite (Nice to meet you), Mr. Principal." I politely greet.

"It's nice to see that you are already here, thanks to you Meter -chan."

"No problem Mr. Principal."

"I hope you enjoy your stay here at Seika U, I hope you like it here."

"That would be great, I will hope so."

"Well then Meter will get to your room. If there is a question just ask Meter. She will be your guide for quite some time."

"Hai (Yes)." I answered.

"Well how do you like it so far?" With hesitation I answered,

"It's nice, probably." Then she laughed slightly.

"Haha, very clever. You can adapt it well sooner or later."

"Yeah, right whatever." She laughed again.

"I've never met someone like you before. You're very interesting, and I like you more now."

"Is that a compliment? Can't take it, sorry."

"I know" With that, I just grin at her. We stop in front of the room 101.

"This will be your homeroom from now on. Your sensei (teacher) already here" She knocked slightly at the door and slide it open for us.

"Sensei" She made some signs to the teacher and the latter understand it already. When she gave me the signal, I strode to classroom. I was greeted by those blank stares by the other students. Meter senpai says her goodbyes.

"As we all know we have a new student. Please introduce yourself." I readied myself for some possibilities that might happen. I calm myself before I talked.

"Hajimemashite, Watashi wa Hirasawa Alexis desu(I am Alexis Hirasawa). I am 18 years of old. I came from Seoul, South Korea." Even after my introduction, none them spoke, they just wait silently.

"What are you gonna say?" Without the command of the teacher, they wouldn't greet me in a more polite way. Well I say it's alright I don't want to get there goddamn attention. I thought that Meter senpai is saying the truth. Some of them don't have any interest.

"Irashaimasen (Welcome), Hirasawa-san!" Then the teacher pointed an empty desk at the far side of the room. As I walked in, I only get those blank stares, as they watch every step I take. I sat at the designated desk given to me and the class starts that morning.

While I was concentrating on the class, I sense someone was looking at me. As I turned around, I saw the same guy who bumps me earlier. He was intimately staring at me as if saying something between those eyes of his. Even though, I look away then.

"Jiro is staring at you for quite some time, Hirasawa-san." Someone just spoke at me, I turned to my right and I saw a pretty girl in her loose necktie, folded sleeves and a very comfortable smile. I gave her a slight smile as a greeting.

"And you are?"

"I'm Hisashi Ayaka. It's nice to be your companion." She laid her hand to me and I accept hers.

"What are you talking about, Hisashi-san?"

"Just call me Ayaka. I only give that permission to the people I like. I was talking about you and Jiro. I was just observing. He was staring at you repeatedly. Did something just happen between you two?"

"Do I have to answer that?" I looked away as I concentrated to the teacher.

"Don't fool me, I know something happen."

"You already know, why bother asking."

"Hmm, just asking, he's not easily interested to someone, unlike now. He has unusual behavior towards some else."
