Chapter 1
Elise sighed as she sat in the back of her mothers car,
"Another move to a new city, when will she care about how these spontaneous home swaps affect me I haven't had any real friends since I was little." She thought, Elise got on with her mother but she never seemed to understand her, every time she was told she was moving Elise had to say goodbye to any friends she had made so after a while she stopped making them.

"Hey Elise we're here." her mother happily told her, Elise looked up to see a two storey white house, her mother told Elise that her room was at the side of the house and that it looked out over a lot of the area. Elise got out of the car and walked into the houses hallway, the movers had already finished putting the boxes down and they were now talking among themselves. Elise's mother walked in and went to offer the movers a drink for their work she'd already paid them, Elise decided to see her room and unpack.

She opened the door and looked round her room was quite large, she noticed another door and wondered where it went to, it was just an ensuite bathroom.

"Guess thats a good point." She thought. She looked in the mirror, her eyes were emerald green, her hair went to the middle of her back and was pitch black and her skin was slightly pale.

"Hmmmmm wonder if I should make my hair match my eyes." She thought, every where she went she drew attention due to how her eyes clashed with her hair, but she'd learnt to not care what others thought because after all she would probably only be here for about a year at most. She walked over to her bed and rolled on to it she thought she should unpack but her mother would probably do it tomorow while she was at school.

"Moving on a sunday not her greatest idea now I don't even have time to find my way around." She bitterly said. A breeze came into the room and cooled her face, Elise looked over and saw her balcony she walked out and leant on the rail looking out over the city, she could see her school, it was a large building surround by many others, with cherry blossoms dotted here and there.

She smiled maybe this place would be better but if she did like it what would happen when she had to leave.

Elise awoke to her alarm clock blaring, she reached over and shut it of and rolled onto her back,

"Well might as well get this over with." she said to herself, she looked over and saw her new uniform; shirt, tie, blazer like all the others but she saw that they were dark purple,

"Odd" she thought, Elise got dressed with a matching skirt and black tights. She went downstairs to be greeted by breakfast and a note, it read,

"Hey Elise sorry I can't wish you good luck but I had to go to work early to get to know everyone so I will see you when we both get home ok." She sighed her mother always did this. She grabbed some toast and drank some water then headed for the train station, while waiting for her train to arrive she saw other students showing up, Elise was entering into the third year so she was joining halfway through the year.

"This ruins my chances of not being noticed." She whispered to herself, she heard the annoucement that her train was arriving so she hurried on to find a seat. After the train had started moving Elise noticed that the carriage she was on was mainly filled with students,

"Why are there only students in this carriage?" She asked herself.

"The back carriages are reserved for students. Didn't you know that." Asked a male voice beside her.
The response made her jump how did she not notice someone sat next to her, she looked atthe owner of the voice; he was a boy around her age, he had dark scarlet hair, deep blue eyes and a gentle yet serious tone of voice.

"You gonna talk or just stare?" He asked with a harsh tone.

"Oh sorry I didn't notice you." she replied,

"Your new thats why you didn't know about the carriages." He told her,

"Is it that obvious." She returned,

"Even if it wasn't people are going to know anyway when you get to class." He coldly replied, She hadn't thought of that, she sighed

"Sorry if I upset you." The boy replied with a kind tone. Elise smiled but what was she doing, she wanted to stop talking but couldn't stop herself this boy just made her happy when he spoke to her, she kept talking to him and him to her about lots of things, she even told him how she had not had friends as she kept moving. Without knowing they arrived at their stop.

As they reached the school Elise realised,

"Hey I don't even know your name." She told him,

"Well with the story you told me of how you keep moving I don't think I need to." He replied, Elise's heart dropped the first person she'd been able to talk to in ages was now using something she said against her, She looked down and felt tears gathering in her eyes.

"But if you are still here I may tell you." He told her with his gentle tone.

Elise looked up to see him disappearing into a crowd of people, she looked at her plan and headed to her class.

"Well everyone this is our new student Elise Saiyuki." The teacher announced to the class,
Elise bit her lip this is the part she hated explaining evrything about her and why she's joined halfway through a year.

"Elise why don't you tell the class about yourself." Teacher asked her.

Elise explained how her mother kept moving and how she had lived in many cities before this one and that she did not expect to be there long. She headed to her seat which was in the middle of the row by the windows,

"A favourable spot." She thought, the tables were in pairs so who would she end up sitting next to, as the lesson went on Elise grew bored she knew most of the work already she had home taught herself due to her constant travel.

"Sorry Teacher something came up." A voice said as the door opened, Elise recognised the voice but it couldn't be could it.

"Huh didn't think you would be in my class now did I." The voice said to her, Elise looked up it was the boy from the train, he sat down and opened his book he also grabbed Elise's,

"H hey what are you doing?" She asked him,

"Well I'm late and need to get the work down hope you don't mind." He replied,

"Uh no." She answered defeatedly, the boy set about copying the work down from her book while she wrote down any extra notes on some spare paper,

"Elise thats a nice name." The boy suddenly said, Elise turned to him she hadn't told him her name either,

"That's another reason he wanted my book." She thought, he knew people in the class so could copy from them, but using her book mean't he could get her name.". she thought.
