Chapter I

A black haired boy with gray eyes walk through the hallway, lost in his own thoughts.

'Who would have thought that I would meet her sooner than I expected. Thank you, fate.'

He was too lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice a blonde haired boy with green eyes walking beside him.

"Hey! Hiro!" The blonde haired boy called out and wave his hand in front of black haired boy, snapping him out of his thoughts

"Ah, Rei. Good morning." The black haired boy greet with a smile plaster on his face

"Are you okay? I've been calling you for the past few minutes, yet you didn't respond." The blonde haired boy ask

"Yes, I'm okay. Just a little sleepy." The black haired boy smile

"Ah, then that's fine. But if you have something on your mind, don't hesitate to talk to me. I'll always be here to listen to you." The blonde haired boy smile

"Yes, thank you, Rei." The black haired boy thank

'I'm really lucky to have someone like Rei as a cousin.'

Comfortable silence envelope them as they head to the stairs that connects the second and first floor.

The black haired boy bumped into someone as soon as they turn into the corner.

"Ah!" The black haired boy stumble backward while the person he bumped into fell down to the ground

"Ouch..." He look down at the person he bumped into and his eyes went wide before turning back to normal

'White hair...?'

A smile made its way into his lips and offer a hand to the white haired girl that he bumped into.

"Are you okay?" The black haired boy speak in a gentle manner

Annoyed, the white haired girl look up revealing a pair of red eyes filled with annoyance.

"Okay?! Who would be okay after bumping into someone?! You must be a-

The white haired girl couldn't finish her words and her eyes went wide as her eyes focused on the black haired boy in front of her who was offering a hand to help her stand on her feet.

'Why...?! You shouldn't have come here! You're not supposed to be here!'

"I don't need help! I can't stand on my own!" The white haired girl slap his hand away and stand up slowly before dusting her uniform off any dust and flip her hair

"Are you okay, Ohime-sama?!" A brown haired girl with violet eyes ask worriedly as she rush down the stairs

"Please don't rush down the stairs next time, Ohime-sama!" The brown haired girl examine the white haired girl for any bruise or injury

"You must be very frightened, Ayano-san." The brown haired girl turn her head around and saw the black haired boy and blonde haired boy

"Yes, very, very frightened. And I'm thankful that she just bumped into you rather that falling down the stairs." The brown haired girl speak

"Well, true. It's better that she bumped into us, rather than falling down the stairs." The blonde haired boy smile

Confuse written all over the white haired girl's face as she watch the three of them interacts with each other.

'I can see why Ayano is being friendly with Rei-kun, but I can't see why Ayano is being friendly with “him”. That is unless, he's part of the student council.'

The brown haired girl notice the white haired girl's confused stare at them and turn around to face her.

"My apologies, Ohime-sama. This is Kaizawa Hiroshi, the new student and the newly appointed vice president of the student council." The brown haired girl introduce

Hatred filled the white haired girl's eyes upon hearing the brown haired girl's words.

"O-Ohime-sama? I-Is s-something wrong?" The brown haired girl stutter

The white haired girl didn't utter a word and flip her hair before walking away from them.

'You're quite amazing, aren't you, Kaizawa Hiroshi? To entered the Elizabeth High School and joined the student council within just a week... Let's just see how long you can last in the student council, Kaizawa Hiroshi.'

______________________________________________

-San (さん), the most common honorific, equivalent to “Mr.” or “Mrs.” It’s a title of respect between equals, so it’s okay to use for anyone, especially if you are not sure which honorific to use. It can also be attached to occupation names. For example, ‘bookstore (本屋) + san (さん) \= “bookseller” (本屋さん).’

–Kun (くん), the most commonly used honorific in anime. It is used to address young males. It is also used by superiors to inferiors and male of the same age and status.

–Chan (ちゃん), most frequently used for girls and between them, children, close friends, or lovers. This can be used when somebody finds a person, a pet, or something adorable and cute. You don’t want to use it with a superior, unless you want to be fired! –Sama (さま), the more formal version of san. Usually used to refer to customers who are deserving of the utmost respect status in Japan, people of higher rank, or somebody you admire.

–Niisan/Neesan (兄さん / 姉さん), is used when referring to one’s older brother or sister, or any relative or close friend. –Jiisan/Baasan (じいさん / ばあさん), s used when referring to one’s grandfather and grandmother, and is also used to refer to older adults the speaker is acquainted with. Neither of these are seen as insulting, but watch out not to use them with a person sensitive about his/her age!

–Dono (どの), roughly means “lord” or “master”, and lies below sama in its respect level. It’s a title that has almost gone out of use in daily conversation. When it is used, it is usually as a joke expressing an exaggeration of age.

-Senpai (せんぱい), the equivalent of “senior.” This is used for classmates in higher grades and all people with more experience than yourself either at work, club, or in any kind of group.

-Kōhai (こうはい), the equivalent of “junior” and the opposite of senpai. As it can appear condescending, it is not used as a suffix.

-Sensei (せんせい), is used to refer to teachers as well as people who are experts in their respective fields, whether doctors, artists or lawyers. It shows respect to someone who has mastered some skill

P.S

-Suffixes like -chin, -cchi or -tan are irregular, and employed only in highly informal and affectionate speech. All three are intensified variants of the standard suffix chan, signifying childlike cuteness and endearment. Or in other words: These are what you get when you turn chan up to eleven.
