When I look out the window, I saw two figures standing on top of the roof, on the house across mine. One was shaped as a human and the other figure was more like a demonic raven. That dark aura was emanating from it's body. The raven was the same size as two cars stacked on top of each other. Blood was oozing out from it's eyes, wings, and it's body. The raven is cyan colored and the eyes emanated with the color of scarlet, closely resembling blood. The human figure however, was the one I really was surprised about. The human wields a katana in his hands and was wearing a long white scarf. After closely examining the human figure, I realize that it was Skylar. N-no way...

The raven soars to the sky and Skylar jumps after it. He jumps to the sky and holds his katana close to his waist. The raven screeches as Skylar comes up to its level. The two forces battle in the air. I was just witnessing him fight, what I thought to be a made up believe monster, is actually to be a real thing. He manages to kill the demonic raven but he was badly injured during the fight. He now stands in the alleyway where he first saved me. He looks up to the full moon and starry ocean above.

I look at the night sky and it was brighter than ever. I can see all the stars perfectly fine. It was so beautiful. I look back at him and he was staring at me. I gasp in fluster and hide behind my wall. I took a deep breath and try to peek out the window to see him. When I peeked out, he was sitting on the ledge of my house. On my window, there was a message. It reads: "The night sky is beautiful, isn't it?" He looks back at me and smiles earnestly. I got flustered again and run to my desk to reply back to him.

I took my notepad on my desk and run back to the window. I written a message and knocked on the window to get his attention. He looks my way and reads my message. I was holding the notepad underneath my eyes. My message read: "Yeah... it is. It reminds me of you. I-I mean that b-because the starry sky is also similar to your eyes. And... and..." I couldn't say anything else and I just ducked in embarrassment. Why am I having this conversation with him? And why am I getting flustered? Can it be that I?....

I got back up and he was holding his message. "You're so cute when you get embarrassed." I read his message and looked at his face. He was smiling so happily. This was the first time I saw him smile like this. With that smile and that message, I was blushing till the point that my face was beet red. I wrote something back to him and showed it. "Th-thank you..." I was holding up to my eyes but I was looking away from him. My eyes were tearing up at the words he presented to me. I look back at him and he was gone. My heart was beating so fast and I was gripping my chest. Why is my heart beating so fast? I never really had an intimate feeling for him but tonight, I'm beginning to harvest those intimate feelings for him. I place my other hand onto the window and silently say something. Skylar... you given up your life so many times just to see other people live. You gotten hurt emotionally and physically but yet... you still smile like it's not a problem to you. I slowly close up my hand, close my eyes, and lean my head onto the window. I sighed a little and smile a bit. My heart began to slow down and it went back to normal. I walk back to my bed and hug my pillow, pretending it was him and shortly fall asleep after that.

The next morning I was a lot more happier than usual. I met up with my friends and they too can tell that something good has happened. "Well, something good has happened to you because you're smiling a lot more often." My friend said.

"Yeah yeah. Tell us what is this good thing that has happened to you." My other friend begs me.

"Nothing really~ I'm just get to see the captain of the swimming team swim today." I reminded them.

"What? Nothing about Skylar?"

"No, I don't really have an interest about him." I lied to them.

"Right now, I prefer Skylar. He's a new face and he's mysterious."

"Well, if maybe if I spoke with him just for a while, then I will judge if he is worthy enough to be liked by me." What am I saying!?! I'm crazy for him at the moment. That's why I'm being a lot more joyful than usual. We got to school and we went to our respective class. I enter my class and I see him reading his textbook. I smile just a bit because just seeing him made me happy. I walk over to my desk and take out my notebook. Crap... I'm still stuck on the homework. I will ask him for help~

"Hey Skylar..." He looks at me and flips through his sketchbook. "Good morning."

"Good morning to you too. I was wondering if you can help with my math homework." I show him my notebook and he takes a look at it. After giving a once over, he goes back to his sketchbook and writes a message. "Grab your seat and I will teach you how to solve these." I was so happy that he would teach me but not only that but, it's because I was going to be sitting beside him while he teaches me. I slide my seat over to him and sit next to him. He begins to teach me how to do the work. Even though he couldn't speak, his method was easier for me to understand. After a couple of minutes, I finally know how to do the work and I was complete with the homework. "Yay~ thank you, Skylar." He goes through his sketchbook again and shows me his reply. "No problem."

Everyday, we have secrets we hide from everyone. I know two of them. The first is Skylar's. I feel someone pat my head. I turn around and I got flicked in the head. "Ouch..." I rub my forehead to ease the pain. I look up and see Skylar. He holds a small piece of paper that came from his notepad. The same one he used to talk to me last night. It reads: "You really got fix that habit of talking out loud to yourself." I look around and I see everyone staring at me. I laugh subtly and told everyone sorry for talking out loud. "I'm sorry..." He turns the paper around and it reads,"You really need to fix that, Stupid." I blush at his words and wanted to hit him playfully but that will make everyone suspicious. He walks back to his seat and continues to read his textbook. I stare at him for a bit and continue. A normal student by day and demon hunter by night. What made me so into him is that even though he went through so much suffering, he still smiles earnestly. The second secret is mine. I think of Skylar as a classmate and mysterious person in the day but when night falls, he's truly someone, I can love without a reason.

*Morning Bell Ringing.*

Everyone walks to their desks and sits down. Our teacher later enters the room. "Okay everyone, we're going to the school's pool. Everyone, please head to the gym. Once you get to the gym, change into your swimsuit and head towards the pool area. Everyone got up and grab their gym bags. "Skylar." I call out to him. He turns around and looks at me. "Let's walk together." He nods his head to tell me I can. I run to his side and tap him on the back. "Hey hey...Celestia is walking side by side with Skylar."

"Do you think they can be?..."

"If they are... Let's ask Celestia herself. I wouldn't want to cause a ruckus in the school."

"Yeah you're right..."

When we arrive at the pool, the warmth of the sun warm up our cores. Instead of hearing the wind blow, I hear girls fangirling over Skylar and the captain. And here I am, and boys are drooling over me. I was only looking at Skylar. He didn't pay attention to his fans whereas the captain was waving hi to them. "Okay everyone, line up and form two lines. One for the boy and one for the girls. Same goes with class 3-1." Everyone lines up and what surprises me is that Skylar and the captain where the last people in their lines. It looks like we will see an interesting race between these two.We all took turns swimming. "Hey hey Who are you rooting for? I'm rooting for Skylar."

"I'm rooting for the captain. What about you Celest, who are you rooting for?"

"I think... both of them perhaps..."(Celestia)

"Hmm... Celestia... are you and Skylar dating? We saw you two walking together when we were going to the gym."

"No no... yesterday, Skylar was injured due to an accident. I witnessed the accident from my bedroom window. And I was worried about him. Nothing more than worrying for a classmate right?"

"Ohhhh. What kind of accident?"

"!? Um... What's a good accident to cover up what really happened... There was these group of scums who were robbing this lady. And out of pure luck, Skylar was there and they fought. Luckily the police came and chase down those scums. He only manages to get a couple of bruises on his body but it looks like he's doing okay."

"Wow... I didn't know Skylar could fight."

"I'm guessing it's only if he needs to."

"Hey! Look they're starting!" The two boys get on top of the starting block. Everyone was cheering for them, especially the girls. One of my friends and I knew who was faster though. "Ready! Set!..." We hear our teacher count down. The tension grew as we waited to hear the words 'go'. "Go!" The two kicks off and dives into the water. Everyone goes rampant as they swim. My eyes were set on Skylar, and I notice that the water seemed clearer and brighter like he was swimming above a coral reef in the ocean. He was swimming with the fishes and enjoys being the water for no reason.

As expected of him, he beats the captain with the same time when he swam yesterday during lunch. Everyone was shock to see Skylar beat the school's record and the captain. He removes the cap and goggles off his head and climbs up. I smile a bit and stare him. "Okay everyone, with those two being the last-"

"Hold on teach!... hey you! Transfer student..." He calls out to Skylar. He stops and turns around. "Come on... let's race one more time... I won't stand here being humiliated as the captain of this school's swimming team." He turns around and walks away. "Hoy!!" The guy furiously walks over to Skylar. He turns Skylar around and punches him in the face. Everyone was shock to see the captain act like this. I stood up in anger and walk over there to them. "Hoy! That's enough! That's no way to treat a person who can't speak!"

"Oh... so he can't speak. Well, that makes it a whole lot more easier for me to turn him into a pulp!" I grab his hand trying to stop him from hitting Skylar any further, but I soon as I grabbed his arm, he turns to me and slaps me across the face. I fall down and was covering my face to ease the pain. Tears began to fall down my cheeks because of the pain. In result of Skylar seeing this, he grabs the captain's arm, forces it to an armlock from behind and kicks him into the pool. The captain emerges from the pool and stares at Skylar. "You bastard..." He pulls out his sketchbook and shows him, his message. I see the captain look the other way and tries to apologize to me. "I-I'm sorry..." He kicks water in his face, this was his way to tell the captain to say it louder. "I'M SORRY!" With that being said, Skylar turns around and walks over to his towel. He grabs it and walks back to me. He puts it over my head and takes a look at my red face. He hold out his sketchbook and it reads: "Are you okay?"

"Y-yes I-I am..." He flips the page and shows it to me again. "Okay that's good and thank you." He gets back up and walks to the changing rooms. Everyone was shocked and silent at what happen at that moment. Nobody can react or bother to bring up their voice in this atmosphere. The atmosphere those two brought up impacted us hard. I got up and walk back to my friends to get my towel. After getting my towel, I walk towards the girl's changing room. "Ahh... Celestia wait for us." My friends said and run to my side. Everyone stayed quiet and walks to the changing room.

"Whoa... that was unexpected. I never expected the captain would get mad over a record..."

"Totally, that was a first. Hmm? Celestia, what's wrong?"

"Huh?!? Oh... I was just deep in thought. That's all."

"Thinking about him?"

"About Skylar? Yeah... just a bit." My friends leave me alone to allow me to sort out my thoughts. Why?... Why is my chest hurting? It's on fire and it feels like it's about to explode. I go into the showers and run some hot water over my head and body. Skylar... Flashback were popping in my mind like fireworks during the Fourth of July. All the images that are popping up comes from the three days he's been here. He's only been here for three days... and yet he... he changes my life with only a simple smile. Every image of him was when we first greeted him into our school and the expressions he made when all the girls fawned over him. I still remember every detail of it. The most prominent one I remember clearly is the smile from yesterday when he was out killing demons.

I got out of the showers, dried myself and headed back to class. When I arrived back at the class, some of my classmates were back but he wasn't. I walk over to my desk and sat down. I averted my eyes over to his desk wishing to see him. Everyone looks at me with a sympathetic expression. I looked lost in their perspective but I truly just wanted to see him again.
