Her

As soon as the bell rang signifying the start of the twenty-minute recess period, all hell broke loose and all the students perked up. Schoolwork burden is forgotten within the recess time. There's a stampede towards the canteen. The school comes alive. The benches in the canteen during recess are never unoccupied. The counter is always crowded with students, here it seems, there is no such thing as a 'queue'.

As I made my way to the cafeteria I saw girls forming a crowd and it was not hard for me to guess that they were fangirling over some boy because they were embarrassingly loud about it. Two girls walked in behind me, they looked like they were in the same grade as me.

"I heard that the new girl caused trouble," said a girl with golden locks to a brunette who was standing beside her.

"Yeah. I think her name is Mo or something like that. My friend mentioned that she caused quite a scene." Are they talking about me? I thought with a roll of my eyes. I wasn't intending on listening since I'm not a big fan of eavesdropping and started to make my way forward but to my very fortunate self they did too.

"I heard that she approached a senior and when he rejected her she got mad and poured water into his pants," the brunette said.

"Really? That's something. I can't believe anyone can stoop this low and that too on her first day," the blonde snorted, giving her friend a look of shock.

They were talking about me, before I could turn around to give them a piece of my mind I was surrounded by a bunch of girls all screaming.

"Forget her, look who's here. It's Yin," the blonde said, directing her vision towards a guy; a tall handsome teenage boy as both of them shoved past me.

He had skin like vanilla which perfectly contrasted his jet black hair. Girls were swooning all over him but he didn't pay them any attention, he didn't ignore them or talk to them rudely, he held his composure and politely made his way out of the crowd. It was as if he was SLA's Idol.

"He's so handsome" A girl swooned.

"He's mine, you all go away!" Another snapped. Ugh! God, these kinds of girls are on a new kind of level. The kind I definitely don't want to mess around with.

"Mo? I've been hearing this name a lot since this morning, what a weird name. It reminds me of a certain someone. Hmm.. Mo.." I kept repeating that name thinking if this was just a coincidence.

"Mo? Yo! Yin? Hey! quit spacing out man". I was greeted by a smiling Yuto. He is my childhood friend. He has always been with me. Since childhood, I was never the kind of guy to cause trouble. Yuto on the other hand was the opposite, always involved in frequent fights. I still remember that day when I met Yuto, although it's not a pleasant memory but it did give me a great friend.

I was being beaten down by a group of upperclassmen and it caught Yuto's eyes, he ran to save me, without even thinking twice Yuto scared the crap out of those upperclassmen. The proud look on Yuto's face still brings a smile to my face. Since then Yuto and I have been inseparable and I came to realize that Yuto wasn't a bad guy and that events like the one with me were the main reason he was always getting into fights. It's hard to believe that such prestigious school still struggles with bullying.

"So, you've also heard about the new girl, huh? She sounds tough," he continued.

"Tough? Why? what happened?" I did hear students talk about her on my way to the canteen but all I could really make out of it was the name only.

Mostly I stay away from stuff like this especially if it involves a girl because it may cause unnecessary attention towards me which I am somehow the centre of it. I could just imagine the commotion it would cause if my name gets involved with a girl's. I've been attacked by girls claiming to see me talking to other girls, often innocent girls were attacked by those crazy girls assuming there was any sort of contact between us. God knows what really goes around in the crazy minds.

But strangely enough I was really interested in knowing about this one because there's a slight chance that I might know her.

"Well...." Yuto told me all about that incident.

"Wait, how do you know all that?" I realized that what he was saying was completely different from what I heard and it made me angry somehow.

"I was right there when it all took place, I was a bit worried as to how the scene would turn-", Yuto paused and then continued, "-but damn, she took hell of a good care of the matter all by herself"

"It sounds like that guy got what he deserved!" Yuto was surprised by my blunt reply and so was I. There was a sudden urge in me to meet her.

"That's her," he said looking at a girl who was entering the cafeteria.

Long brown tresses which flayed back and forth as she walked. She had a petite build. The loose white shirt complemented her fair complexion. Her facial features weren't extraordinary but she didn't look ordinary either. That girl looked familiar to me and then it hit me...

It was her.
