Rein's POV

I woke up before my alarm went off and turned it off. First day of a new year. Changing classes, being compared, I don't want to think about stuff like this. I sighed, then forced a smile onto my face. I have to smile, or people will think that something's wrong and there's no reason to worry, Mom, Dad, or Fine. I finished changing into my uniform and I stared at the picture on my desk. Two little girls smiling in a field of flowers. I started to reach for it then slammed it down. I should just wake up. Nothing's going to be the same as it used to be.

"Rein! It's time for breakfast," Mother said.

"Coming!"

When I walked in Fine was already there and dressed. "Rein, you should hurry up and eat. We need to get there early so we can figure out what class we're in," she said as cheerfully as ever. "I hope that this year we're finally in the same class."

"Yeah...," I said sitting down. And I hope we're not.

"Shouldn't you two get going? It's almost 7: 40," Mother said. "Here are your lunches. I made sure to put all your favorites," she said handing them to us. "Your father and I are going on another business trip tonight, and we're going to be back sometime next month, but I'm sure that you two can handle yourselves."

"Yes Mom," we both said. "We'll be leaving now."

"Have a safe trip," she said waving. We both left and Fine was happily skipping as always. Why is it that I can't compare to her? She is always getting good grades, is good at sports, and everyone can't help but like her. Of course I used to be like that too and I used to be proud to be her sister, but now... I shouldn't think about these things this early in the morning.

When we got to the school gates, Shade greeted us. "Morning, Fine, Rein."

"Good morning," we both said. Why can't we ever outgrow this habit?

"I already found out which classes we're in. Fine, you and me are in 2-1. Rein you're in 2-4," Shade informed us. I was relived. I don't really want to be in a class with Fine.

"Really? Again, we're not in the same class Rein. Ne, when it's time for lunch let's all eat together," she suggested to me. "It's the same place as last year, on the rooftop, and we'll all share our food!"

"Don't you already have a huge lunch anyways?" Shade asked hitting her lightly on the head.

Fine glared at him, slightly pouting. "But-"

"I might come, but I might eat with some of my friends. Sorry," I said, not wanting to hear what she was going to say. "Well, I'd better be going. Later you two." I don't want to see things like this. Since the last two years, those two have been going out and I know they're really happy together but...I sighed. I should just get to class and become unnoticed like always.

I opened the door to see everyone else too busy chatting to notice me. I looked around, Mirlo isn't here. I sighed again. So it's true that she moved. The bell rang and a teacher came in. "All of you, be quiet and get into a sit, I don't care where right now just sit somewhere. We're going to have everyone do a class introduction."

"Sensei, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" A random student asked.

"Fujisaki-sensei, your homeroom teacher." Everyone was so cheerful as they introduced themselves... how nice that they can be so happy.

I stood up when it was my turn. "Taiyou Rein. Nice to met you all." When I sat down I heard a bunch of people ask about me and rumors were starting to fly around. Like if I was Fine's sister or not. Different hair color, eye color and personality. It's really hard to tell, unless you actually ask one of us. The classes past by easily, I didn't have to talk to anyone and no one talked to me. Just how I like it. It was all really simple, at least until... I got to my ballet and design class. The teacher was young and had a very unique hair color of white, and with the name of Sumizome Yuzuki.

"Since you're all in this class by the end of the year I expect you to be somewhat decent," Sumizome-sensei said. "At the end of this year you will be dancing in a stage in your own hand crafted costume and that will be half of your final grade. Today I'm going to see how well you can dance ballet in regular shoes."

"That's too sudden through! Can't we do it tomorrow?"

"No, those who want to do it tomorrow have to run 10 laps around the school right now and if you don't want to dance, or run, then get out of this class." Everyone except me and maybe 5 other people ran. "As for the rest of you. Get changed."

The teacher's nice, but kind of scary at the same time. I quickly changed into a blue leotard. I watched as everyone was told what they needed to do in order to improve. Finally it was my turn, but my feet were shaking, my steps were ungraceful and awkward. With everyone looking at me I can't calm down! If it's like this then I can't dance! Why am I so nervous?

"Hey, didn't you hear? That girl's Taiyou Fine's sister."

"What? No way, they don't look anything alike! Also, wouldn't she at least be half as graceful as her sister?" I stopped moving completely. I ...can't dance at all, not like this. I don't want to hear it, I'm a person, I'm not just someone's sister!

"Stop talking! Taiyou Rein- san, close your eyes." I did as she said. "Imagine a stage with only you on it and let your feelings be known through your dance."

My own stage, where only I can shine... I opened my eyes in a trace. As I danced I thought about what I wanted. I want to be noticed by my own name. I want someone to noticed my dance and say it's beautiful. I am not my sister, I'm nothing like her, I am and only can be me and this is who I am!

"Your dance, isn't as professional as some other newcomers I've seen in the past, however it's full of emotion and grace. It's a very nice dance. All you need to do is polish your skills and get some confidence," she said. I thought she was going to say something else. I feel kind of happy. "Now, for tonight's homework, I would like everyone to make a design of something that they want to be able to wear. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it's a clothing design. Then after modifying it, you will make it."

When the bell rang for the end of the day, I just stayed in my desk. Fine wants us to walk back together after all. It must to hard to have a club practice on the first day. I started to do some of my homework. A clothing design huh?

I want it to be something comfortable and cute. Since it's starting to get warmer it shouldn't include a cardigan. A jeans skirt will work with a lot of other variations, it'll look good with pleats, and adding a belt would be nice too. One like a chain and black lace woven through it. The top should be off the shoulder, and with wide short sleeves and light blue. A jeans vest will look nice with it, it'll have lace trimming.

Before I knew it my hands drew out the design. Ah, this is so much fun! I really hope that I can make it.

"That's pretty." I looked up to see a boy with dark blonde hair and ruby eyes. "Did you actually draw that?"

"Ah, yes." I've never seen this boy before, a new student maybe? "It's for my class."

"You're really talented. I saw your dance too from earlier. That was really beautiful."

"Thank you very much." This is the first time that I've gotten compliments. "You're a really nice person, even through it's flattery," I said smiling slightly. He seems a little strange, but he doesn't seem like a bad person.

"It's not flattery. I really think that," he said earnestly. Can I believe in his words?"Oh, I'm sorry. I should introduce myself. My name is Hotori Bright, I'll be transferring into this school tomorrow."
