I dedicate this to PokemonRio for being the first to vote on one of my other stories! Sorry, I'm a bit stuck everywhere else....Enjoy!

I sighed as my light green eyes met their reflection in the mirror. What will happen today? Especially after yesterday, and what Karasuma-san said with our new...teacher if you can call him that. I brushed through my long blonde hair and let it stay down, making it fall down to my waist. I frowned, picking at it. I had natural black undertones and wavy hair, making it a bit harder to make nice hairstyles. But, hard work always pays off in the end!

"Uncle Yuki! I'm leaving now!" I called out as I jogged to the door, picking up an apple from the table.

"Okay! Bye Rin!" he bid as I ran out the door. I ran all the way to school, and when I reached, I found out that I had come 15 minutes early, sweating like a pig and panting. Then I looked up at the hill where the school was. This...it feels so intimidating now after I've ran 4 miles. Why didn't I walk!?!

I groaned, fixing my backpack and started to trek up the hill. I will do this!

Later on, I had gone no more than a half of the way before almost collapsing. No! I refuse to fall! I grunted and got back up, climbing up again. When I finally reached the top, I fell down. Straight on my face.

"Ow...I made it!" I yelled, my face still in the dirt.

"Nrufufu, Miss Tsubaki?" I heard a weird voice say. I looked up, and found our new teacher...um...he doesn't have a name...does he?

"Um, yes?" I answered. His skin was the color dandelion yellow, just like the first day when Karasuma-sensei introduced him.

"Do you need any help?" he asked.

"Nah, I'm fine. The others should be coming in around five minutes...I think." I replied. Even though he may blow up the world, it doesn't mean I have to turn into a cruel person to the...um...what would he be considered?

"Oh, I see~" he said, chuckling afterwards. I quickly stood up, and dusted myself off.

"I'll see you when class starts!" I exclaimed, jogging towards the old rundown building. Although I don't have to be mean to him, I still have to try and kill him. This sucks.

~*~

"Now class, I'll be taking roll!" Our new teacher announced. He started going through all of our names, until I noticed that one empty seat to the right of me. Terasaka sat two seats away from me, but I got a bad feeling about the desk next to me, like someone I really wouldn't want to know sits there. I sighed. I always got stuck next to the creepy desks in class, which is why sometimes I'll switch places with someone, and talk to Nagisa or Kayano afterwards during break.

After roll was done, everyone started trying to shoot at him except me. Shooting someone who I don't know the abilities of? That's kind of dumb, but then again, there's millions of dollars and our lives at stake. I guess it could make sense.

I took out my notebook. I should try writing everything I can observe about him and the others' strengths for a strategy, yet what's the use in writing it if no one listens to me? Maybe I can do it to calculate a time when I'll be able to strike alone!

Observation 1: He's extremely fast, and he-

"Nrufufu, you can't hit me with my Mach 20 speed!" he giggled happily, almost like one of the shoujo manga girls.

Observation 1: He's extremely fast, and he can go up to Mach 20.

Observation 2: From Observation 1, I can see he's quite prideful about it too, meaning that if he does finally get hit, he'll be too shocked to move, giving anyone an opening.

While I had furiously wrote it down, Okuda had turned around and noticed it.

"A-Ah, Tsubaki-san, what are you doing?" Okuda questioned me. I looked up.

"I'm just writing something down, don't worry." I replied easily, sensing her nervousness. She didn't seem to talk to anyone a lot, so I wanted to become her friend, but now...it seems like a majority of the class hates me. She nodded before looking back up front.

"Now let's start!" our new teacher stated cheerfully. Then he started teaching, only to open up something inside all of them. They all seemed to understand somewhat as compared to before. Everyone was paying close attention to him and trying to attack him, even in the middle of a lesson. That's kind of rude, even if you're supposed to kill him later. At least give the guy some breathing space before he dies!

By the end of class, everyone except me was tired. That's what you get for trying to kill someone so recklessly. I got up and brushed myself off. I looked at the floor that was littered with the special bullets that could harm him. I had been given a gun and a knife too, but I was still contemplating how this should be dealt with.

"Miss Tsubaki, can you please come over here?" I heard the teacher say. I nodded, and walked over to him.

"Why did you try not to kill me today? You know what will happen, right?" he questioned her. I bit my lip in frustration.

"Of course I do, it's just that a life is still a life...I'm still contemplating about whether or not I actually want to do this." I answered him, looking at the gun in my hand. Everyone had given me glares when they walked out because I didn't join in, except for Nagisa and Kayano. They understood me and my somewhat pacifistic personality.

"I see. But just remember, if you don't kill me by the end of the school year, everyone dies." he stated. I nodded solemnly before walking out, putting the gun and dagger back into my bag.

When I finally got off the trail, I saw that there was a lone guy walking along. I guess that bit of talking made me a little later than usual. That guy looks familiar, but I don't recall from where...

I checked my pockets, and found no money. Ugh, I'm going to have to walk home for 4 miles! I quickly passed by him, noticing that he had purple eyes under his light orange bangs. He radiated this aura that made me walk away faster. Don't look back Rin, he seems bad.

I kept on walking, then looked behind me and noticed that he was still walking the same direction as me. What the heck!?! I whipped my head back around and kept walking. I eventually turned a corner, and thought I was home free until I felt a hand clamp down on my shoulder.

"Why hello, you're in class E now, correct Tsubaki-chan?" I heard someone question me. I turned, and found the guy from before right in my face.

"I'm sorry, but did I know you before I dropped?" I questioned him. He looks so familiar, but I can't recall his name. I saw his eyebrow twitch slightly, and his mouth form into a slight smirk.

"Tsubaki Rin, student in Class 1-A and 2-A previously. Currently in Class 3-E because of teacher troubles and failing English." he recited. I reeled away from him in astonishment.

"I know everything about you Tsubaki-chan. I'm surprised you don't know me, but then again, I never actually talked to you face-to-face."

Talked to me face-to-face? So he's saying he talked to me before, but not directly to me? That's...unnerving, but also kind of cool at the same time. I had a friend all this time!?! Or maybe he's an enemy! No!

"Until later Tsubaki-chan. And also, my name is Asano Gakushuu." he bid, walking past my shocked form. I talked to the number one student in Kunugigaoka? Are you kidding me!?!

He turned to a different corner ahead of me, and I saw a sleek black car stop a little bit ahead of the corner. After a short pause and a car door slam, I saw it drive away. If Asano Gakushuu is the principal's son, that means that a car should have picked him up before unless he planned this. He probably did.

I jogged the way back home. This was the first interesting day of many to come in 'once-normal' Tsubaki Rin's life. Yes, I just used third person.
