What do we know about love.

It would be the start of school in Hokkaido Sapporo, the spring quarter was just getting started. All the students of Hakodate Minami High School were all ready with their fresh new uniforms, and their star personalities to match. In truth everyone was a bit speculative and pessimistic upon the start of this year, right off the train from middle school and suddenly they would all be cast away into the young adult life style.

Some took it well, some were born for it, and others drowned the sorrow of such a drastic change in video games, porn or...worse.

However a 16 year old first year, Hitoshi Kujime could only place himself right in the middle of it all. He neither took it well or was born for it. Yet he also wasn't looking to drown his sorrows in anything either, to be perfectly honest. He just wanted to exist and maybe just continue to do that...but maybe at some point, he could do it with another.

Hitoshi would be standing outside of his new school, Hakodate Minami High School. It was a lot like him, neither great nor dismal, it was just existing. Though that doesn't account for the number of stars, athletes or even geniuses that have graduated and or gone to this place. He felt entirely out of his depth, just what exactly was he supposed to bring to this place? He had no remote idea. Thats when he'd look over and see a group of three girls giggling as they walked past him, one of them pointing faintly at him. Hitoshi thought about his look.

He felt his hair, it was black, but that was a custom color. Worse case scenario, he goes blonde. He shivered at the thought. His eyes were brown, but some people before in his previous years made comments that they had a yellow tint to them. Though he never saw it no matter how hard in the mirror he looked. The uniforms, boys wore a button-up collared shirt, Pants, with a Tie. Girls wore a button-up collared shirt with Jacket , Pleated miniskirt, Knee high socks. He didn't entirely enjoy the color scheme the school had, Blue, White, and Black.

He took a quick sigh before he decided to walk forward, only to be grabbed by the shoulder by a friend of his from last year.
"Hey! Hitoshi! Long time no see huh?" Laughed his friend Jin. "Oh, hey there Jin, and what the hell do you mean long time? We picked out our uniforms together yesterday." Hitoshi said.

"I know, but-" Jin took a second to dramatically pause, Hitoshi looked around, trying to see if anyone was watching them.

"Even if the time may seem short, the emotional damage is long!" Jin said as he raises his hand dramatically in the air. Hitoshi just stared at him mildly annoyed.

"This guy..." Hitoshi thought as he then started walking inside the school. Jin smirked as he watched Hitoshi walk away, Jin looked at the school itself. It had such a vibrant color to it. The white was almost pearly and the textures of blue and black fit well with it. Thats when Jin's face fell a bit to one of melancholy, he turned to see more students arriving.

"This place is already giving me bad signs. Better watch my step." He thought before walking inside as well. Hitoshi would be walking through the halls, he had to admit as he walked through the place...it was very exquisite. It was like he had walked through and into a lavish painting.

"This place is...just wow, and I thought my middle school was gorgeous. So why is this school so...average if it has also this going for it? Hm, maybe seeing the teachers and talking to the upper classmates here may shine a light on that." Hitoshi said as he looked around some as he walked along.
As he did he'd see two students arguing with one another, it was a boy and a girl. There was a small crowd forming near them, of course there were some who didn't want to seem like they were snopping and others who didn't care.

"I know that it was you with her! Do you think I'm blind you ape!" The girl shouted. "Seems she isn't trying to be subtle." Hitoshi thought as he watched from a distance.

"I told you already! You got it all wrong, that was my sister!" Shouted the boy.

"Oh? So your sister decided to dye her hair black and now suddenly is into sucking on your-"

"ALRIGHT THATS ENOUGH!" shouted a teacher walking down the hall towards them. The two scoffed at each other.

"Come pick up your shit in the garbage outside my house asshole. Its over." Said the girl before leaving, the boy tried to reach for her, but he stopped himself. Hitoshi looked at them part way before he decided to start walking upstairs to his homeroom.

"Seems like this school has drama too. At least I mean just the regular amount of course.
...what even is a normal amount of drama? Well I'm not willing to throw myself through a inferno of bullshit to find out." Hitoshi thought as he reached the top of the stairs. He saw an entire hallway filled with students chatting, chilling or just standing around waiting for class.

"I just want a normal existence at this school. No trouble, and no excitement. I just...want to o exist." Hitoshi thought as his eyes rested on the end of the hallway, however thats when she'd come into view. Hitoshi's eyes lit up as he saw it, like eyes seeing a horizon or beautiful night sky, he saw her. It was Sena Kambara.

"No way, she's here!?" He thought as he then tried to blend in with the crowd of people in the hall.

"Hey what are you doing?" Asked Jin, Hitoshi looked in front of him and saw Jin just staring at him. "What are you doing just slouched aginst the window? Heh, you look hilarious." Jin chuckled. Hitoshi looked over briefly and saw Sena was gone, and just like that those beautiful blonde locks and and gorgeous orange eyes were gone. Hitoshi took a deep sign as he leaned aginst the windowsill. Jin looked at him.

"Let me see, hiding for no reason, making yourself look like a fool. Ah! You must have just seen Kambara." Jin said with a smile. Hitoshi looked at him annoyed.

"Right, cause you know me so well." Hitoshi said with a annoyed tone.

"I do know you very well. Even though you'd never admit it." Jin said. The two then looked down the hall at the a flock of people walking through. Hitoshi thought about how foolish he was to hide, he'd been wanting to get on Sena's radar for almost two years now...yet he still hid like a fool.

"Its kind of pathetic really." Jin said. Hitoshi's head rose as he looked at Jin.

"What?" He asked. "Well I just mean, the fact that you wish to be noticed by a girl who doesn't know a thing about you, let alone that you exist is sad. However its more pathetic when you realize that you have someone who actually does know you and talks to you is right here, yet you don't want anything to do with them. Its pathetic." Jin said. Hitoshi just looked at him, unsure how to respond.

"Oh well, I have to get to class. Which one are you in?" Jin asked. "I- uhhh...2-B." Hitoshi said.

"Huh isn't that funny, we have the same class. See you there then." Jin said as he waved his hand and left Hitoshi. Eventually he'd make it to his class, he saw the teacher who was a rather tall man with glasses. Everyone in class was either chatting or texting. Some even chatting to others in class through text. Hitoshi walked over and saw in the back closest to the door. He never liked the window seat. He put his school bag down and sat in his seat. He leaned on his desk with his hands holding his head.

"Hey! Hitoshi!" Said a voice in front of him. He recognized it immediately and who else could it be, but Jin, who was sitting in front of him.

"Why is it that wherever I go, you're there too?" Hitoshi asked sarcastically. "Well, you are always in your own little world all the time. Maybe you should focus more on the now then the later." Jin said as he then started digging in his bag.

"That was sarcasm Ji-" however thats when Jin would pull out a canned drink and give it to Hitoshi. Hitoshi just stared at it. "Well go on, its not like its going to bite you. God your hopeless." Jin said as he drank his soda and leaned back. Hitoshi grabbed his soda.

"I don't recognize anything of this school, its like I'm on a alien planet filled with uncanny faces that resemble people, but they aren't. The only one I recognize is Sena and she is too distant for me to contact. The only other one here...is Jin. Hes right...I am pathetic." Hitoshi said, as he then got a weak smile as he opened the can.
