Monday, it was. And yes, yes it was, Ira's first day of school. Rachel was excited to be going to school with her bat-winged boyfriend. Ira, however, wasn't that happy...

•••

Ira woke up next to Rachel the next morning and was still really tired. He turned on his left side and gazed at Rachel sleeping. He smiles warmly as he was listening to her soft breaths.
Few minutes later, Rachel batted her eyelashes as she opened her eyes. She looks at Ira and smiled then said,

"Good morning, sweetheart."

He poked her nose. "Good morning, sweetie," he said. "So... are you ready for school?" Rachel nods and sits up, so does Ira. "Are you?" she tilts her head so her head is resting on her shoulder. Ira was confused. "What do ya mean?" he scratched his head. She giggles. "Ira, you're uh... going to school.."

And that's when Ira found out his new "danger" he was going to face. School.

•••

Rachel and Ira both exit the house and are on their way to Maya's. Ira looks pretty swell in his school uniform. He even has glasses, which Rachel thought it would make him look adorable.

They arrived at Maya's house and rung her doorbell. She opens and giggles. "Ooooo, Ira's going to schoool! Ira's going to schoool!" Ira rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know..." Rachel patted his shoulder.
"Ira, you'll survive.." He sighed. "Hopefully..." he turns around and walks away from the house. Rachel took Maya's hand and they caught up with him.

"So, you think Ira is gonna be in your same class?" Maya asked.

"I dunno, I hope so. My mom transferred him in but the school has to decide whether he'll be in the same class or not." she replied.

Maya nodded. "Okay, then. I hope you guys get the same class!" Ira turns to the two girls. "Yeah, hopefully..." he turns away.

•••

The girls and guy arrive at Oogai High School(A/N: I think that's what it's called, correct me if I'm wrong-). Ira was shaking in his shoes; he hopes he get Rachel's class.
They walk in and Rachel waves goodbye in a sympathetic manner. Ira waves back and goes to the office. Rachel walks to class.

•••

Ira walks into the office and sits down. After minutes of waiting, he heard his name be called. He got up and walked to the principal.

"Hello. Are you Ira?" she asked.

He nods. "Y-Yeah.." She writes something down then gives him a sheet of paper. "Here is your schedule. Your class is 2-B." Ira nods and said thank you, then left.

•••

Ira walks to 2-B. He slowly opens the classroom door and most of the class was here. He lookee around for Rachel. He didn't see her. But... maybe she went to the bathroom or something? Ira was hoping this was Rachel's classroom or else he was screwed.
A couple girls stared at him and, surprisingly, a girl that had black hair and brown eyes walked up to him. He raised an eyebrow. The girl said,

"Hello! You must be Ira. I'm Mai Kawasashi. Nice to meet 'cha."

She had a sweet voice. She was cute but, of course Ira's girlfriend was cuter. In fact, adorable. "Yeah... I am. Nice to meet you too, Mai.." he looked behind her. No sight of Rachel. "Say, by any chance, did you see a girl with dark blue hair enter this room? She has glasses on, as well, and her eyes are blue." Ira asked. Mai taps her chin.
"No, I haven't... Sorry.."
"Oh, okay.."
Ira was not in the same class as Rachel. He slumped in his seat. "Ugh... Why aren't I in the same class as Rachel?!" he said to hinself. Mai raised a brow. "Are you okay?" Ira nods. "I'm fine.." Mai frowned. "You look mad. Did you want to see this particular girl?" Ira nods. "Y-Yeah..."

Mai looks at the door. It didn't open yet. "Don't worry. She may be in this class. I'm new too so, I don't really know." Ira looked at her. "You're new, too?" he asked, surprised. She nods. "Yep!" Ira smiled. At least he met someone who also wasn't familiar with this school. "That's cool. I'm new too. My girlfr--" Ira paused. "Hm?" Mai was confused. "Uhm, my friend helped me transfer here. The girl I was talking about to you." Ira didn't want to reveal that he had a girlfriend to this girl as he only knew little about her.

"Oh, that's cool! What school did you transfer from?" she asked.

Ira tapped his chin. He planned to tell her that he didn't go to school, but that would sound strange and she wouldn't believe him. He's heard of the word "homeschool", and knows what it means so he replied with that. "...I was homeschooled." Mai nodded. "Oh, you were homeschooled. Interesting." He chuckles. "Yeah.. heheh.."

The teacher entered the classroom and told everyone to sit down. Mai waved goodbye and she sat down in the seat next to him. Ira smiled at Mai and she smiled back. The teacher called Ira up to introduce himself. The girls were making googly eyes at him. The boys were making faces at him as well. They might of thought he was an easy target for bullying.

"Hi, I am Ira.. uhm... Just Ira. I don't have a last name."

The class gasped. They started whispering to each other. "Oh, okay," the teacher said. "Well that's something you don't hear everyday." Ira laughs. "Yeah, I guess so." Ira walked back to his seat. The teachet called up Mai to introduce herself. She waved at Ira with a sweet smile. He waved back with the same smile. Mai introduced herself and told the class about herself.

The teacher then began class. Ira knew pretty much everything but was stuck on some on the work. Mai did sneakily help him a little. Mai and Ira then became good friends throughout the first minutes of class already.
