I sat on my bed, still shivering because of the nightmare I just had.
I cleaned my face with the sheets, and then took a look to my watch.

7:45

OH GOSH! First school day and I'm already late. That's just great. Good thing I don't live that far away from there...
I got dressed up with the first thing I saw and ate my breakfast while I was already walking down the street.

Just in case, I put in the backpack some of the codes that I needed to decipher. I didn't want to waste any of my time.
When I arrived, there were still 4 minutes left. I sighed with relief and entered the building.

It was... quite big. People running from one side to the other, rampaging the lockers, playing around... Wow. Missed this stuff.

With a serious face, I went looking for someone that could tell me to which class I needed to go.
-Excuse me, sir, may I ask where my class is please? -I said to a male teacher.
-What is your name? Haven't you got your schedule? -he said, surprised.
-I just arrived here. I didn't recieve anything -I replied-. My name is *N* *S*.
-*N* *S*... Oh, here you are. Your class is over there -he pointed at a green door.
-Thank you.

Not changing my expression, I walked to the door and knocked.
Some weird guy opened up, saying hello. I smiled a bit and looked around me, going into the classroom.

Everyone was chatting with their new friends, laughing and joking.
I decided to sit on the desk that was the furthest from trouble, not even noticing a boy reading with a bigger one by his side, both in silence.

I opened up my bag, extracting my most favourite book from it. I decided to read a bit, not caring about all the noise.
A few minutes later, I felt someone's gaze on me. I developed that instict when I learnt to live with danger everyday.

I slowly turned mine to the side, noticing how the couple that I saw before was now looking at me, curiosity burning the first boy's eyes.
He was kind of cute. His funny glasses resting on his strong nose, covering two giant brown eyeballs. He was literally staring at me with an expression of pure admiration.

The other one was surprisingly identical to him, but he looked more fit, and he didn't wear glasses.
He didn't look at me with the same face, only following his twin's eyes.
Then I saw that the book that he was reading was the same as mine.

At that moment I got very excited. Finally, someone with good taste on books!
-Hey, pretty cool book you got there, dude -I said, grinning.
The boy with the glasses seemed to blush really hard before he said anything.
-S-same! -he chuckled. It was such a sweet smile!
-Oh, by the way, did you finish it? -I asked.
-Umm... -he looked nervous, like he had never talked to anyone before-. Yes, actually I read it three times already!

I nodded, more than satisfied with his reply.
-Wh-what about you? -he asked me this time.
-Oh, me? Well, this is the fifth time I'm reading it.
His jaw dropped as he chuckled again.
-Wow! I've never met someone that likes reading that much -the boy exclaimed.

-Well, of course I do! Heheh.
An awkward silence invaded the moment, and suddenly his twin whispered something in his ear with a smirk on his face. The poor boy's face went red.

-Ah, I almost forgot! I'm such a disaster... My n-name is Stanford, and
I-I'm so pleased to meet you! -he shyly lended me his hand.
-My name is *N*. Glad to meet--
I was so confused when I saw that he had an extra finger instead of having just five.
-...No WAY! -I quickly took his hand to examine it-. You have six fingers?!

Stanford blushed even more. He seemed embarrassed, and he looked away.
-Yeah, I know... Pretty freaky, right? -he sighed.
I knew he was somehow hurt. I instantly felt pity for him.
-What a tough word... "Freaky" -I murmured, causing him to return his gaze to me in surprise-. I would have chosen another one... maybe "different".

Ford widened his eyes, staring at me again. His twin was quite astonished too.
-You... really think so?
A chuckle escaped from my mouth. Poor thing, he was shaking.
-I mean, it's logical... There is nothing wrong with it. In fact... it's very cool.

The other one approached us.
-Looks like my bro is a nerd just like you! -he laughed-. Name's Stanley by the way. Nice to meet ya.
I shook his hand. Wow, he really was strong.
I noticed how Ford kept looking at his hands. It was like he never had seen them before.

-Soo, you from 'round here? -said Stanley.
-Not far from school, I actually live next to the beach.
The twins looked at each other at the same time, smiling.
-What a coincidence! We live there too! -he smiled widely.
-That's great! We should hang out sometime -I stated, returning the smile-. What about we meet at the beach after classes?

-Sounds great! We'll see you there then! -agreed Stanley, grinning.
All of sudden, the bell rang. We ran to our desks, but then I heard Ford say something. I think it was something like "See you later", but I wasn't sure.

What a cute guy!

~Stanford~

I couldn't stop looking at her. She looked so intelligent and... pure! She liked books, reading, and... Oh, she was so gentle. *N*, right? Well, *N* was an amazing girl. And, I think she was... quite attractive.

Her *H/C* hair shined like a star while her beautiful *E/C* eyes had me hallucinating. Such a wonderful human being.

-Caught ya~ -said Lee, slightly pushing my shoulder.
-What now, Stanley?
-You were still looking at heeer -he whispered, smiling a bit too much.
-What are you trying to say? -I laughed-. ...Have you listened to her? I mean, she even liked my hand and all!

-Don't get too excited, Sixer, maybe she was just trying to be nice -he laughed.
I ignored him, looking at my new classmate again.
-...You like her, huh, don't ya?
I gasped.
-Stanley!! Stop that! I don't! She is not my type... -I lied.

-Not your type?! Are you kidding me? Come on, you two are so similar! Besides, you just need to listen to yourself, bro, you sound so excited around her.
-Quit it! You are not making any sense right now...

I didn't want Stanley to embarrass me in front of the only girl I knew that talks to me without saying disgusting things about my hands or persona.

It was that... she was so pretty.
