▬▬▬ With you earlier
'ah, another school field trip, i guess it'll be the same as always, i'll just go somewhere to be alone and draw' you thought as you glance at the empty seat beside you
'nothing unusual for me to be alone, not complaining tho'
You took out your phone and a pair of black earphones out of your backpack and played a random song then looked out the window, waiting for the bus to start moving
soon you saw someone's reflection through the window glass 'a boy? ' you thought as he sat beside you
You couldn't see his face in the reflection but you didn't want to look at him either, you assume this was the only left seat in the bus.
the driver started the engine and you saw the boy putting on a pair of headphones in the reflection,' another silent ride, wait what the
'is he staring at me? why?' You could now finally see his face in the reflection because he was now facing your way.
'isn't that the new student? the boy who brought me my bag? ah what is his name? uh aiko? no thats a girls name
'where did aiko even came from? well done me, ah his name is mayb-'
"NOO" you heard him scream as you looked at him
'jesus!' Your volume was all the way up but still heard him scream, you removed one of your ear bud and as you did you heard him say
"now i cant listen to music" he said as you saw him putting the headphones and his phone back in his backpack
he looked disappointed and annoyed at the same time, you glance at the ear bud in your hand then back at him
You put the ear bud in front of his face, offering it to him 'why did i do that? maybe because he was nice enough to take my bag for me?' You thought, yea your just returning the favor'
You are waiting for him to take it but he just stared at it confuse "ah, haha no thank yo-" you cut him off when you putted the ear bud in his ear
You looked out the window without saying anything 'should i at least thank him for yesterday?' You thought and look at him again
'why cant i say it' you are still looking at him but he look away, hes somehow hands- 'ahh y/n!!' You looked away
You both were just listening to music together without saying anything, 'i kind of, liked it' you couldn't control yourself and just had to glance at him again
You slowly turned your head towards him 'oh? he was asleep' maybe he didn't sleep well during the night
You found yourself staring at him, you notice how he furrowed his eyebrows a bit like someone was ruining his sleep?
"OH MY GOD! NO WAY! SHUT UP!" You heard some girl yell in the back probably having a serious conversation with someone
the boy sitting next to you furrowed his eyebrows even more 'is the noise in the bus bothering him, maybe?' You took the other earbud out of your ear and gently put it in his
so that he was the only one listening to music now and you saw his face muscles loosening up and his eyebrows were no longer furrowing
'so i was right' you took your phone and change the current song playing into some instrumental, calming music
You look at him again and noticed something, he was wearing a handmade bracelet around his wrist, it looked familiar, your eyes widened
'no it cant be, is it possible that its really him? i cant confirm it tho' you look at the bracelet and sighed, you squeezed your eyes trying to figure out if this is that bracelet
'the colour is' you sighed once again 'no there is no way it probably just look similar to it'
You mean there must be tons of bracelet like this, you looked away, you shouldn't think about it if you cant even confirm it whats the point, you sighed and closed your eyes shut
suddenly you felt something heavy on your shoulder, you opened your eyes and looked at your shoulder, your eyes widened as you look away, his head its on your
what the why is it making you nervous, you took a deep breath in to calm yourself down 'its okay y/n your not having a heart attack!' You though and just stared out the window still freaking out
"koko hello!" You heard someone saying
"wake up!" You opened your eyes and glance at the boy beside you, someone was saying koko just a moment ago, right?
so thats his name you look at the person that was standing infront of you both
'oh kakucho, my classmate' he looked really shocked 'should i explain the situation?
You opened your mouth ready to say something, but then just closed them back 'who cares anyway he can just ask koko about it'
You turned to koko once again and gently remove his head from your shoulder
You took your earphones out of his ears and put them back in your backpack
You place it on your back as you got up from your seat, you walked passed kakucho, putting the hood of your hoodie over your head and left the bus
You got out, you soon saw kakucho and koko getting out aswell
"okay! seniors! class 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3! pay attention!" the teacher said, 'no thank you' you though and looked around
You started walking away from the rest, trying to find a peaceful spot for you to draw, the teachers voice started slowly disappearing as you are getting further away
the destination was quite pretty, you couldn't see any of the student anymore 'OH! FOUND IT!' You noticed a water fall pond just a few more steps ahead of you, you ran towards it
'so pretty he would've love this place, i'll draw him so that he can see this beauty aswell' you smiled at the thought
You sat down on the ground next to the pond, you took your sketch book and some crayons out of your backpack
"sorry for not using you, you understand why i cant right?" You said as you put the crayons beside you
"wah, now i even talk to crayons? i must've gone crazy, and now im talking to myself great" you said talking to yourself 'stop! just draw!'
You opened the sketch book, took your pencil out and started drawing
End of flashback
"thank you, koko" did you just 'smile' he is looking at you with wide eyes
"earth to koko, are you ok?" You ask looking at him but he didn't respond
"umm, i guess not" you are actually talking
finally he came back to his senses and said "sorry, im just confuse"
"confuse?, why?" You asked looking away
"well, i was told that you dont talk" he said as you giggled "why are you laughing?" He asked you confuse "i dont know, your expression is just, kinda funny hahahah"
"so you're laughing at me?" He pouted causing you to cringe
"i dont see anyone else here" you said as you laugh again
Your really different from what he expected "you like drawing?"
"like is too weak of a word to describe my feelings towards drawing, but yea, you could say that i like it"
"the boy you're drawing, he's really good looking" he said looking at the drawing you just made "i know, there is nobody that is more handsome than him"
"may i ask who is he?" He said as you sighed and looked at the pond before speaking
"he is the boy who has a special place in my heart, he's the last person that heard me say 'i love you', and the only person that heard me say 'i hate you'" you said looking at him and back at the pond
'is he, her ex boyfriend?' He thought as you looked at him again and smiled "was i being to dramatic?"
"no you sound, poetic" you chuckled, he looked down and noticed some crayons on the ground "are going to color it in?"
"hm?" You hummed still looking at the pond "your drawing"
" oh, uhm nah i think it would just ruin it" he look at her confuse
"why? i mean it will be pretty with colours" he said as he stared at the drawing, he felt his chest aching ' why am i like this? this boy look so familiar'
"koko?" you called him that got him back to his senses "hm? oh sorry i was just admiring your skills"
"ah, is that so? ah, by the way why did you transfer?" You said looking so cute while waiting for his answer
"that was random" he laughed awkwardly
"oh, haha im just curious so, yea"
"well they close my school during summer break due to bribery case, so i had to change schools" he said as he look at you and noticed you listening on everything what he was saying 'awh, how can a girl can be this cute'
"so, you attended yokohama high?"
"yeaa, i heard you came here from europe, how so?" You looked taken a back by his question
"it just, happend that way" 'hmm she didn't say that she ran away like she did when she came here'
"i heard you're really smart aswell" he said that made you looked at him
"you seem to know quite a bit about me, are you a stalker or something?" You asked looking at him like his some, sort of a weirdo
"what? noo!, its just that you're really popular in our school so i just know some stuff" he said that made you again look at me confuse "me? popular? i think you're mistaken"
"dont you know that everyone knows about you?" -koko
"they dont know my name tho, aren't popular usually those with a lots of friends? like, everybody knows them including their name"
"well yea, but since they dont know your name they came up with a nickname for you, so its not like they refer you as ' that girl', you know you have a nickname, right?" He saw you nodded
"the black princess, i know they all know me as the black princess, i dont know why tho?"
"you dont know?" -koko
"you do?" You asked as he nodded
"they call you like that because of the way you dressed up, you're always wearing black clothes" he explained
"okay but why is there a princess in it?"
"because your beautiful, they say that your the most beautiful girl in the entire school and seeing you up close like this i understand why they say that" you eyes went wide
"a-re you saying that im, beautiful?"
"oh like, you still dont know about that, you're really good looking" he saw you blush
"are you, blushing?" He said as you looked away covering your both red cheeks "who? me? pfft, no!" You said still looking away
"its just really hot?" You said and started taking your jacket off "according to the forecast its -4°C today" he said as you put your jacket back on, he chuckled at your cuteness
"i gotta say the nickname they gave you is actually pretty cool" he said to break the silence
You looked down at the ground
"i dont like it" you said looking at the ground while fidgeting your own fingers
"you dont? why?" He asked
"i dont know, it makes me feel like im a fictional character, like something from a fairy tale" you said making him a bit confuse
"i mean the black princess? it sounds pretty fairy tale like, it make me feel like im not even a real person, like im not even their classmate, like we dont even attend the same school, it makes me feel distant, different" you said 'why does she sound so lonely, isn't she the one that chose to be alone? to be isolated?' He thought
"i dont know, it just, i would like them to call me by my real name" you suddenly lifted your head up and locked eyes with him
Your stare, it made his mind go blank
"you're the one that called me by my name, it was just for a brief moment, but you said it you didn't call me the black princess, you called me y/n"
"well , d-dont the teachers call you by your real n-name?" Your stare was killing him "they dont call me anything actually"
"well dont they go like 'oh! l/n y/n did great on this exam! as always!'" -koko
"no, they just say ' you all you did good, but you know who's in the first place' and then they just glance at me, but you're the first person my age that called me by my name, it felt nice"
He then remembered
'is that why she stared at me yesterday? because i called her by her name?'
"i know its weird but i'd be happy if there was atleast someone who wouldn't refer me as the black princess"
"y/n? hm, l/n y/n" he said making a face like his in a deep thought, he looked at you
"y/n sounds better, it sounds pretty, i like it more than the princess one" he could tell that you are a bit confuse, he extended his hand, now you looked even more confuse
"nice to meet you, l/n y/n i hope we can get along" you look at his hand and then back at him, his waiting for you to accept his 'nice to meet you' handshake
"nice to meet you too, koko"
