Personality
Ritsu isn`t really one of those `average day people` who you can just meet on the street when it comes to her personality- not that her look fits that criteria all that much either. With a spunky personality, she can be hot-headed and defensive, nice and sweet, or maybe just quiet. Every day you spend with her can be like randomly pulling a new card out from a seven inch deck when it comes to her personality, but probably you`ll manage to get at least a rough understanding of her. If you`re up for the challenge, that is.
You could call her optimistic, happy-go-lucky, say that she has an up-beat persona, or anything of the sort, and in a way, that could work to describe her quite well- for some time, that is. At times she can be gullible when she`s like this, but with her size, she`s already gullible to most things anyways. However, slip and do one thing wrong, and you`ll bring out the often known side of her- her hot-headed, defensive, and stubborn side; the one where she`ll be trying to rip your throat out. She`ll usually become this way if someone takes advantage of her, calls her `short`, `shorty`, or anything of the sort, or just if she becomes embarrassed. Even though she does seem angry when she happens to be this way, she usually doesn`t stay angry for long. She`ll usually just get rather sulky, but, sometimes, she won`t hesitate to try and put up a fight with the person- definitely not physically though. Trust me, she`s attempted that many times, and every time, it`s usually ended horribly.

`That does not give anyone an excuse to tamper with me! If I wanted to put up a real fight then, I would have, jeez.`

She does have a sweet side, even though it`s not all that sweet. She might happen to say something `nice` every now and then, but she, being as stubborn as she is, might not actually mean it. If she`s in a good mood, that doesn`t mean she has to give others something to be happy about. Well, in her case, that is. You could almost compare her to a tootsie pop- hard on the outside, but sweet on the inside... Just, take out most of the `sweet` part.
When it comes to feelings, her stubborn side kicks up more than it usually does. She usually refuses to ever mention a word about how she feels about certain things. You could trick her into it, as easy as it probably would be, you`ll surely get a stubborn little shrimp trailing you after doing such a thing. She isn`t heartless or anything, or wanting to keep her feelings locked up inside of herself so she can mope about them and be all depressed, she just overreacts when it comes to feelings. No, it`s not overreacting such as `What if he doesn`t like me back?!`, or, `My life is miserable!`, it`s just that she finds feelings... tiresome. This is probably since she usually frets over feelings, and stupid reasons, but if anyone talks to her about this, she`ll most likely just deny everything.
Last but never least, Ritsu is an insomniac. It might be because of her somewhat fear of sleep, which she`s never found a reason for, or just because she overall can`t. Or maybe it`s because she thinks it`s pointless? Who knows. When she has someone else sleeping with her or nearby though, she can fall asleep just fine, but that`s not all the time. Sometimes, if she has so much trouble with sleeping, she won`t hesitate to find a way to knock down someone`s door and push them off of the bed to have it for herself just to fall asleep.
Even though she can be clumsy, hot-headed, stubborn, and optimistic, during some rare times, you might find her rather calm. This`ll most likely only be because she`s being lazy, and doesn`t feel like dealing with anyone. Even so, it`s still rare to find her in such a mood.

`Clumsy, hot-headed, stubborn? Who came up with this damn thing?!`

Brief Description
Ritsu is a shorty, even though if you call her that, she`ll try to kill you. Literally. Even though she can be hot-headed, and might try to pick a fight with someone if they ask for it, she barely even reaches five feet in height. This is the one feature of her that brings up annoying names such as `shorty`, `shrimp`, and other stupid names that have came up before.
With her height, however, her features are petite- giving her almost a fragile look, somewhat like a doll. Her skin is a pale milky color, which you could say has a small tint of peach to it. People usually comment on how this goes almost perfectly with her hair, but practically most of the time, the only comments given to her are about her hair.
Her hair is pink, as interesting as it might sound. If you focus closely, it does have a somewhat red-tint to it, but this probably can only be noticed if you`ve known her ever since childhood. Sometimes, when she wakes up, since she isn`t a morning person, her hair can be messy and completely tangled, but usually throughout the rest of the day, you can find it straight. Besides it`s clean appearance though, the lengths of most strands usually do have several differences. Even if others notice this, she usually doesn`t pay much attention to it. The length of her bangs, however, she will pay attention to.
The color of her eyes range around the blue criteria. With mixed blues, going from light blue in the middle, to dark blue bordering the edges, they usually stand out when it comes to them and her hair. If you look closely, a few specs of what seem to be a golden color range around the edges
With such a small frame, she is actually quite weak. If you dared her to punch you, you`d probably truthfully only get what would seem like a tap when it coems to impact.

`Call me cute, and I can promise you that you`ll end up as the exact opposite of that.`

Phobia
| Sleeping, somewhat. You could say it`s a fear- even though she`ll deny it -but it`s half not. |
| Being alone. This only ties in with her so called fear of Sleeping. However, she does fear being alone for life. |
| Heights. Then ago, who likes heights all that much? |
| Intimidating dogs. To sum it up; any dogs that harshly bark, growl, or bare their teeth at her. Or just most big dogs. |
| Insects. `Kill it! Kill it!` |

`Psh, me? I don`t fear anything but going bald.`

History
There isn`t much to say about Ritsu`s history. She wasn`t completely spoiled, and if you`re looking for a sob story, then you`ve probably got the wrong person. She was born into a rather wealthy family, living in a not-too-big house. Her father was a popular surgeon, while her mother had quit her job when Ritsu had been born, so she could instead stay home to watch over her. She was an only child, besides for when she reached the age of seven, which was when her little brother was born. However, her brother died two weeks after birth, and her mood was lowered greatly after that for a while. Afterwards, she soon came close to a neighborhood friend, Axel, and started to consider him as her brother, just, an older brother.

At the age of nine, her parents lovely conversations started to turn into bickering, and then slowly into arguing. She hadn`t even reached the age of ten when her parents got a divorce. It went on for a while- whether she`d stay with her mom or her father, and after quit a while, they came to the decision of switching off. While she preferred to stay with her mother, since she wasn`t the closest with her father, she went along with the decision, making sure not to complain since it would make more trouble for her parents. While her mother slowly grew ill from cancer, and her father grew distance, she soon reached the age of 16, where her father once talked to her about her future. In the end, he simply said this;
`In order to stop you from getting into a marriage like mine, I`m sending you off to Curious Academy.`
And so, without much of a choice, she was sent off to Curious Academy.

`Is there even a reason for wanting to know all this?`

Chasing Satellites - Thomas Fiss
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [x4]
They tell us we were too young
Every single day
Pretend besides the ocean
Just to drift away
Your eyes were out of focus
They carried me away
Oh no [x2]

[Chorus]
We`re chasing satellites
Watch us burn the city tonight
We throw our hearts to the sky
Watch us burn [x2]
We`re chasing satellites
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [x4]

Shining like the stars
And our hearts will light the way
Every single love will be the one that got away
We`re living like we`re young
And getting better every day
Oh no [x2]

[Chorus]

We wanted more
The faster the chase
It was too bright to look away
Oh how we burned up through space
We thought we were lost

We`re chasing satellites
Watch us burn the city tonight
We throw our hearts to the sky
Watch us burn [x2]
We`re chasing satellites
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [x8]

Personality

1.) Tell us, how old are you? What sex are you? When were you born?
"My age? 16, but I`m soon to be 17. I`m obviously female, and I got proof if you need it. And my birthday? Everyday. Sadly, everyone only celebrates it on December 31st."

2.) Tell us, what do you Like?
"Well, don`t I see this often. I like things like sweets and soft colors I like, for.. who knows? Photography isn`t all that bad either, along with painting. It`s too bad most people get angry when you paint their walls without warning. Music also is nice to listen to, and winter`s pretty great, cause all of the snow and stuff. Happy? Cause you aren`t getting any more than that. I mean, if you really wanted to know this, wouldn`t you just come up to me and actually try to get to know me?

3.) What kind of person are you interested in?
"Heh, isn`t this a little bit too peculiar? What if the week right after this quiz, I end up with someone the complete opposite of what I put here. Wouldn`t that be ironic- besides for the point that I won`t really get an option as to who I`m with in a relationship after this. Anyways, I guess I`m definitely not interesting in obnoxious or stuck up people, or people that would bug me about my height. I`ve heard it already, got it? Probably somebody who would isn`t too shy to the point at which they barely talk. Somebody with common interests, who would be protective to a point, even though I would definitely never say that out loud.

Definitely, I would never want a person who`d treat me like a helpless puppy though, since I`m obviously not. Someone who wouldn`t pressure me too much about things like feelings wouldn`t be all that bad though, since, if you know me, I`m not the greatest with them. Just, someone that can handle my stubbornness to a point."

4.) What does 'Love' mean to you?
"Jeez, no one else is going to see this, right? It better be so, since I didn`t sign up for anything embarrassing. Then again, I never signed up for this in the first place.
Love is some `tiresome` feeling. Making you confused, crazy, having your heart skip a beat- that`s exactly what it does. It make your head just spin around and around and around. I guess you could call it rare, like a feather on the ground. When you find it, you don`t want to lose it, and it`s light and fluffy. Of course, it also has down sides. It`s kind of like a rose, sweet, beautiful, but sharp.
And, the most annoying part is that love makes you want to be with that person, all the time. If they`re gone, you can`t help but miss them, and when they`re with someone else, it`s impossible to not be jealous. It`s just, you`d do anything for that one person, and you`d go to any lengths to keep them with you, and they`d do the same for you. That or it`s just some fictional mushy thing people thought up in their minds.
Not that I actually know anything about love."

5.) What is your love personality?
"You want a romantic love personality? Well, you`ve got the wrong person- go look for Axel if you`re expecting something of the sort.
As many people have told me, over and over again, I`m incredibly stubborn when it comes to my feelings. I mean, if I were expected to say this face to face with anyone, I`d rip this quiz to shreds, burn it up, and then leave this school before I can think even just once about it. Maybe it`s just that I`m inexperienced with feelings, or maybe it`s just some other reason- I really, really don`t know."

6.) Is your glass Half Full, or Half Empty?
"My glass is half full- as always. Probably even more than that. I just don`t get why sometimes people`s glasses are half empty... I mean, unless they were called short. I can understand that. Whenever I`m called short, there`s always a crack in my glass, and hopefully there will be a crack in the person`s face! But besides that, my glass is definitely half full. With anything but water, I hope. Water`s so bland... I must admit."

7.) Tell me, what kind of Soulmate may upset you if you got?
"Lemme guess, this question is just so that you can find the person that perfectly matches whatever I`ll say here, and then pair me up with them. So much for a `perfect soulmate`.
Alright, alright, well... like I said earlier, being stuck with some stuck up, rude, or obnoxious person would be a little, well, annoying. And being stuck with somebody boring would just be... boring. Besides that, I`m not all that picky with who I get, really. Wait, wait, wait- somebody who would stress over how I feel about them. That. No. Just, no. Feelings are tiresome to me, and no matter how much I think over and over again about them, I barely know how to actually express my feelings. Don`t even get me started on how to say them out loud."

8.) How sexually active are you?
"Well, I must say, it is completely reasonable to ask the girl who doesn`t even know how to express her feelings if she`s had sex. Totally understandable. Alright, I`m going to make this short and sweet;
It`s come up in a few thoughts, every now and then. I mean, who hasn`t even thought about this kind of stuff? But, I`m truthfully not sexually active at all."

9.) What are places you like, or scenery?
"I guess, I truly really like being outdoors. Being inside for too long is just dull and bland. Maybe a nice place under a pretty tree, or some place where you can easily hide and goof around. Snow is also fun to play around in, but my nose always gets cold. It`s annoying, and I hate it. Does anyone else ever get a cold nose in Winter whenever you`re outside? Anyways, that`s not the point. Just somewhere outside is fine- just, not somewhere scary. Scary places are... scary. There`s not much else to say about that."

10.) What did you want to be when you were little? What do you want to be now? Why?
"Well, even though I`m not that big of a fan of speaking about it, when I was little, I really just wanted to do anything related with art, or maybe own my own bakery. I would go ahead an paint most of the walls in my house, and get scolded. Or, I would go and try to bake some amazing cake in the kitchen, make a complete mess- even on the ceiling -and then get scolded, again. Yeah... I wasn`t all that encouraged on future jobs when I was little... I guess, being an idol was a possibility in my mind back then. Or maybe it was just because it was on of the only things in this category that I didn`t get scolded for?

Now, I`m just... undecided. Something art or baking related would still be fun to do, I guess. Maybe photography? Would that even count as a job? Well, I guess maybe not. If it would though, that`d be fun. Being an idol? Probably not possible...
At least I don`t have to decide yet."

11.) What are your favorite bands? Favorite songs? Any Genres?
"I don`t really have certain bands or songs that I personally favor, but I guess I do like music that`s more fun and energetic. Slow music really kind of just makes me a little bit depressed... they always sound so sad and stuff to me. I mean, why would you even make music that sounds depressing in the first place? Just to make you and other people even more depressed? I guess, when I`m tired though, I do like listening to slow music. Maybe by a guitar or something like that. Besides that though, slow music just makes me depressed or tired."

12.) How do you spend free time?
"Hm... I can`t really say that I spend free time doing certain things over and over again. That would just get boring, don`t you think? I really prefer to do lots of different things- maybe paint, go explore around, attempt to make sweets, and a lot of other stuff."

13.) Do you read? What is your favorite book?
"If you really want to know, I`m not a big fan of reading. I can read fine- I can even read quite fast. It`s just, most books don`t interest me. Probably one out of a hundred books interest me. So, with those numbers, I don`t read that much. To put it simply- I can`t really answer half of this question."

14.) Who was the last person you dated?
"Truth be told, I`ve never dated. I`ve been close to dating someone once, but I`ve never really actually dated someone. Maybe in kindergarten or sometime I had one of those small `hold hands, smile, share stuff` relationships, but does that really count? People have mistaken me and Axel as a couple before, but I`ve never dated him, and I never will. I`m too close of a friend to him to actually like him. And, when I`m next to him, people always say it looks like father and daughter.
I`ve liked people before, and I`ve held hands and maybe kissed once or twice with some people, but I`ve never actually truly been in a relationship. You could say that I have, but I really wouldn`t count any of those times as relationships."

15.) How would you describe yourself?
"Please use nice words? Hah, funny. Well, I could say I`m like a colorful array of a bunch of different traits. A rainbow, maybe? No, that makes me seem like some person that has a sparkly personality and loves attention. I`m not really like that, well, I think. A spunky splatter painted picture. Let`s just go with that. Wait, wait, change that to a tootsie pop. I`m kind of hard on the outside, because of my stubbornness and the times when I get hot-headed, and I`m sweet on the inside. Just... take out most of the sweet. Yeah, that`ll fit.
Let`s just get this straight though-
I am definitely not short."

16.) Where would your dream date take place? Why?
"Hm... let me think. Well... I guess it would of course have to be with the person I liked. Being with a person I hated or found annoying would just be plain out miserable. And it would also have to be some place nice, where you wouldn`t get bored or anything... maybe, a fair, or a skating rink. I wouldn`t want it to be rainy either, since then you`d get soaked...
I`m not really all that picky. Then again, maybe I am. Going to somewhere fun and then maybe heading to a cafe or something of the sort would be nice. Like, I usually really like hot chocolate on cold days. Something like that would be nice and all. I just really wouldn`t want to get bored on my dream date."

17.) What is your Spirit animal?
"I`m... a horse? `Sensitive, peaceful, and social.You easily make friends with members of all species, but you hold a special place in your heart for those who respect your intelligence. Sometimes your empathy can leave you vulnerable to others' moods or manipulations. Don't let one grumpy person ruin your whole day.`
Vulnerable?! Sensitive?! I swear, that was some messed up quiz. I`m not vulnerable, nor am I peaceful or sensitive in either way... Right?"
Best matches: Wolves, Otters, Swans
Watch out for: Foxes, Spiders, Owls

18.) Is there anyone you've got your eye on? *wink* Why?
"I haven`t really been here long enough to actually like someone, and then again, even if I had been here for a fair amount of time already, I probably still wouldn`t like anyone. I`ll usually go through this whole process of denial when it comes to liking someone, and then I`ll go on to overreacting about it all. So, no, not at the moment."

19.) Can you tell us secret you never told anyone?
"I don`t really have much secrets that I`ve never told anyone... Then again, I do have one that I`ve never told anyone about straight on, but a few people have caught onto. This is, I`m an insomniac. That`s not the secret part, since anyone that`s ever been around me while I`m sleeping probably already knows this. It`s just, I`m somewhat scared of sleeping. Strange, right? You know how most people say they want to just pass away in their sleep? Well, I don`t. I`d prefer to die when I`m older, not right now! And, another part of this is that I pretty much have to be around someone to actually get some decent sleep. This usually doesn`t just annoy only me though, which really just makes it even more annoying... This problem has even gone as far as to the point where I`ve almost broken down someone`s door just to go in to their room, push them off of the bed, and then sleep there...
Yeah, I`m definitely not normal when it comes to sleeping."

20.) What are the lyrics to the song that describes you best?
`They tell us we were too young
Every single day
Pretend besides the ocean
Just to drift away
Your eyes were out of focus
They carried me away`

21.) What color resembled 'Passion', to you? Why?
"This is actually the hardest question so far on here, but also the easiest... Does that even make sense? Well, I guess I think a color in between red and white... The color of my hair! Ha, I must really be passionate. Maybe my hair has just gotten such a color because I`m so hotheaded though? Back to the point though. Even if a bunch of people say red resembles passion, I think `passion` is a little softer than `love`. `Love` makes me think of a bunch of super romantic stuff, while `passion` makes me think of all the sweet compliments and stuff. Just, `love` tweaked a bit- softer, calmer, and more caring."

22.) What gets you hot? Why?
"Oh god... Now I`m really glad no one else will be seeing this quiz. Jeez, I barely even know how to answer this... Well, here goes nothing.
I guess, one thing that turns me on is when guys are really protective. Just, not protective to the point where they treat me like a puppy dog. Just, when guys get jealous when you talk to other guys, even just a little. Gosh... what am I saying?
Being close to the person you like also gets me hot... even though I do get flustered in this kind of situation. Ya` know, cuddling, hugging, and maybe a kiss or two on my nose or such. And for some reason, if they were to pat my head would be nice... Even though that`s a little bit odd. Oh, oh! And, sharing a scarf gets me hot. I guess that`s really peculiar though..."

23.) If I walked into your bedroom right now, what may I see?
"My room`s neat, so, you`d probably notice that right away. Don`t get me wrong though- I`m not all that neat myself, but I have maids and all that go ahead and tidy it up since my Mom`s nit-picky that way. Anyways, the wall colors are more soft colors, but you might find some random paint splatters, photographs, or little doodles on the wall. I also have a thing for really plushy pillows. I just have a fondness of hugging them. It`s compulsive- don`t ever say anything about that to me. Besides that, you might find papers strewn out across the desk, or maybe paintings or pictures. On the ground there`ll probably be a few things here and there, even though, like I said, my room is neat. Whenever I`m stressed out or angry, I have a tendency to just lie on the ground and hug a pillow to my face, if the rooms carpeted."

24.) You like TV, huh? What is your favorite Movie? How about Anime? Why?
"I`m not really a big fan of TV, along with Anime. When I was little, I was, but as I grew up, I just slowly grew uninterested in both of them. TV I do watch every now and then though, but usually it`s just when I`m really focusing on something else, or I`m completely bored and have nothing else to do.
Movies are fun to watch, just, NOT if they`re scary. I once watched this scary movie- which everyone, even this ten year old girl, said wasn`t even scary at all -with my friends, and I couldn`t sleep. For a month. Even now just thinking about it scares me. I`m not all that great with scary things... got it?
Anyways, I`m not really picky with movies... I don`t really have a certain favorite, since I favor a lot of them. And, even though I don`t really like Anime, I do like Studio Ghibli films. Can you actually really count those as Anime? Well, anyways, I still like them."

25.) How would you Impress someone you like?
"Well... I`d probably try and be nice to them, and most likely I`d try and avoid being hot-headed and stubborn around them. Hey, that might not seem like a lot, but for me, it really is... I wonder if maybe I`d almost end up shy if I acted like this...? Eh, it doesn`t make a difference, since I get flustered when it comes to feelings and being around the person I like, anyways. Maybe I`d try painting or baking them something... Even though if I tried to bake something, it`d probably end up in a huge mess. I`d probably never have the guts to give it to them in the first place, but oh well.
Besides that, that`s it. I`m horrible at impressing people, I know. Just pair me up with someone already so I can get over with this humiliation."

So begins...

Ritsu Nanamine & Axel Brooks

The light outside the train was almost blinding, because of the dimly lighted rows inside. Holding a hand up to shield the light from her eyes, Ritsu took a step off of the train, her bags in tow. She was wearing a frilly white spaghetti strap tank top, along with some short orange jean shorts, while her hair swept down onto her shoulders. Today was her first day at Curious Academy, and she couldn`t tell whether she was excited about it, or just wanting to completely ditch the school and go off to her mother, who was slowly getting weaker from leukemia. What was her father thinking, sending her to an academy that was all about love?

If it hadn`t been for the elbow that ended up resting on her head, she would`ve completely forgotten about the tall redhead along with her, who was also heading to the same destination as her. "Well, it seems you had enjoyed the entire ride," she said bluntly, having to actually try to successfully push the arm off of her head. "Flirting aimlessly the whole time with that girl."

A sly smirk came up on Axel`s face in return to her witty comment, before returning one of his own. "Same with you," he replied with a hint of sarcasm. "Almost being sit on because of how short you are." This just ended up with a sharp glare from the pink-haired shorty, before she went off ahead of him, heading towards the exit of the train station to the street. He was only saying the truth, since around the halfway point of the train ride, some man had been heading towards his seat. He must`ve not been paying attention, for he almost sat on Ritsu because of her small figure. Sometimes it was good to be small, but besides for a few perks here and there; it made most things annoying and tiresome.

"Call me short again and I won`t be the only one who`s short," she said, punching him on the arm once he caught up to her, which was an easy task for Axel because of the difference in height. The punch ended up as more as a tap though, so he simply ignored it. Instead he went ahead of her this time to call for a taxi, wondering what the first day at the academy would be like. Would he end up stuck with some annoying, clingy person? Or what about some depressed, boring person who never did anything interesting? That would surely end up as a year of hell for him.

- - - - - - - -

"Where to?" the scruffy taxi driver asked, eying the two through the mirror.

"Curious Academy," Ritsu answered, looking at his stubby chin and beady eyes before turning to look out of the window. Axel was outside of the car, lifting their bags into the car. A second or two later he came and sat along with Ritsu, yawning, despite the fact that he had probably slept more than her last night.

The driver never said anything more, but both Ritsu and Axel could easily bet on what he was thinking. He was most likely labeling them as two desperate people who needed help when it came to love, the one feeling that you didn`t control. The one feeling that controlled you. It didn`t surprise them, since from the reputation Curious Academy had when it came to certain people wasn`t all that great. Everyone knew the academy was amazing, just, not when it came to what the purpose was. A beautiful, fancy school wasted on the purpose of finding love? Preposterous, but you had to admit it, it was definitely interesting. Well, he was either thinking that, or how much the two looked like a couple, despite their heights, or wondering if the two were sister and brother.

When the cab finally reached the academy, the driver simply stated the price. Ritsu grabbed the money out of her wallet before politely handing it over, then heading out to help Axel with the bags. After one glance at the school, the driver scoffed, "good luck with your `soul mates`."

- - - - - - - -

An hour later, Ritsu was sitting in the huge auditorium, along with a ton of other people. There was supposed to be an assembly, or so she heard. Most of the other students had seemed to be there, and many muffled conversations were rippling through the crowd. The vice principal was supposed to tell them about the rules of the academy, and other stuff that probably was already in a small pamphlet bearing the title `Curious Academy`, on a rack with probably thirty other randomized pamphlets in some hotel lobby. That, or in a rule handbook.

Axel hadn`t shown up yet, but she didn`t think much of the fact. He was probably still putting his luggage off in their home room, which were the instructions given to all students. Everyone already knew that they were going to have to share a room with their soulmate, but Ritsu was slightly surprised that they didn`t already give out numbers and keys. They were probably just waiting to announce the soul mates, but wouldn`t it have been much easier just to do it right away?

Glancing over to her left, she spotted some person already off in a conversation with some friends sitting next to her. On her right, there a ton of empty seats, since she was sitting closer to the back than the front. If Axel was quicker, he`d probably be sitting next to her, but she might as well let some other people sit off to her right. Who knows? She might even end up sitting next to whoever her soulmate would be. As if that would actually happen, in the crowd of around a hundred people or so.

It was annoying, having to sit far back when she was so small. It was hard to see the front of the rows of people clearly; almost impossible. Then again, going to all the trouble of finding some way to sit in the front would`ve taken forever, and probably would`ve just ended up as a waste of time. She hoped that once this assembly started, it would be over before anyone would even have time to react. She was also hoping that no one would almost accidentally sit on her again, like earlier in the train. It was highly doubted that would happen again though, with what; three or four chairs empty off to one side of her.

Since she didn`t have anyone else to talk to at the moment, and since the vice principal was no where in sight, Ritsu thought about her father and mother. In simpler terms; her small family. If she had a sister or a brother, she`d probably already miss them, but the closest thing to a brother she had was in the very same academy, doing who knows what. Her father she didn`t miss all that much, since he was always crowded with work and `important business`, but she already was longing to see her mother again. Well, along with her pet pomeranian, Kiwi. Along with all the thoughts of being homesick, the foggy cloud that was the topic of her soulmate still lingered around, refusing to budge. She wished they had already told everyone who they were going to be stuck with for the next couple years, maybe even their whole life, but she tried not to think about it too much. Thinking about it more would just make her frustrated.

Axel was off in his homeroom, despite the fact that he knew the assembly was supposed to start soon. There was a few minutes until it started, so he probably should start heading down there soon, but if he had already gone, he would`ve just been sitting around waiting for it to start. It was much more fun and interesting to explore the school in the little time he had, so he had decided to spend every minute down to the very last second looking around the school. He had already finished putting his stuff away, and, even though he was in the same homeroom as Ritsu, he told her to go ahead of him- that he`d catch up.

There had been one other person he`d seen come in and put his stuff away in the room; a boy with black hair, and blue eyes. He had seemed distracted, his head in the clouds, or whatever that old saying was. Axel bet that even if he hadn`t been distracted though, the boy probably wouldn`t talk much. He seemed more like the quiet time. Tagging along behind him, there was a girl. You could say they looked like a couple, but Axel doubted it. They more seemed to be related, since they shared the same interesting blue eyes. He didn`t pay much attention to either one of them though, since he probably would figure out who they were later.

I should head down soon... the redhead thought, glancing over at the clock counting off the seconds he had to take a glance at the schools features. By the look of the continuing staircases, there was another floor above. From the look he had gotten outside when he and Ritsu were coming in through the doors, he guessed there were four, in total. He didn`t think much of the classrooms, but he was more curious about the the other campus buildings; the dorms, the cafeteria, the land surrounding it, and things of the sort. Those places would have to wait though, since he was running out of time to get down into the assembly room.

As he headed back down the stairs, he took a few looks at some other people who were also heading to the assembly, probably feeling more rushed than he was. The black haired boy and the blonde girl, who shared the same blue eyes, a girl with black hair and... one eye? For a second he wondered if her other eye, the one that was covered with the eyepatch, was still there, but he pushed the thought out of his head. Then, another thought came up; if she had worn that eyepatch her whole life, had she ever dressed up like a pirate as a child? It was a silly thought, but an interesting one at that.
Before he had time to look at any more of the people coming in through the front door, he headed off with the sweep of the scattered crowd heading for the assembly. It was true, what he overheard in some conversations about Curious Academy; not only the purpose of the academy, but also the people who went to it, were definitely interesting. Their attitudes, their appearance; everything. He was definite his following years in this academy would be ones to remember.

Sheila Kurimu

She couldn't believe it. Her rather had really enrolled her in Curious Academy. He had strolled into her room, shaking her gently and softly saying that it was her first day at school. Couldn't it have been a normal school? Sure, she loved her father, but that kind of family love wasn't going to find her a soul mate. Because of that, he wanted to send her to a place where love estranged people like her would find love. Why couldn't that morning have been a dream?

Normally, the first day of school was something exciting. Something she generally looked forward to. Her friends would be there to greet her, hug her, and they would be able to talk about how much they had missed her over the summer. Not this year. She was going to have to start over and graduate without the friends she had known for her whole life.

She hadn't spoken to her father for a week after he broke the news to her, but Sheila wasn't the type to hold grudges. She had a short temper, but the time period that she remained angry was also short. She loved her father dearly, so she could never hate him. Although she was no longer angry, she would sigh often when the thought enveloped her mind. She was going to be engaged, as the school had informed them. At age 17! She wanted to at least find someone on her own, not be engaged to some person the principal thought would suit her best. Sure, she was really skeptical about love, but she wasn't someone who hated it and wanted to spend their life alone.

Enough. She told herself. I've already thought about this enough. Time to just accept it.

She grabbed her black suitcase from her room, grabbed some last minute belongings, her back pack, and her phone. Taking a deep breath and putting a smile on her face, she went down the stairs to greet her father who was making her one last breakfast before she moved into the dorms. Her voice was happy and peppy, making sure to leave her father with a good memory. It wasn't like she was leaving forever, but she wasn't going to be able to see him often once she moved into the dorms. Once she had finished her breakfast, they threw her things into the trunk of the van and drove off to the new school.

"Bye, papa. I'll miss you." She said as she bid him good bye. She watched him drive off and then pulled her suitcase inside the school. Someone at the front took her belongings, something she was thankful for, and she followed the crowd into the auditorium. She heard some students complaining about all the looks and comments they received on their way here. Sheila was thankful that her father had offered to drop her off. If people were giving her dirty looks and comments, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold her temper.

Sheila looked around for a seat in the auditorium, hoping to find one soon before she looked stupid standing in the middle of the aisle. She spotted a few open ones next to a young girl with pink hair. Sheila had to blink to check that it wasn't just the lighting. The girl really did have pink hair, it was so cute! Sheila made her way over to the seats and stood at the end of the row. It was rather strange that they were empty, seeing that the girl was quite beautiful. Maybe the seats weren't free?

"Hi, sorry, are these seats taken?" She asked the pink haired girl.
