"Yuri" – Talking
"Yuri"- Thinking
Locked Heart
Chapter One: Empty Eyes
"I thought I knew better. I thought nothing could go wrong but I was wrong, so very wrong. Now I can't trust anyone, can't feel anything at all. I can't remember the last time I smiled or even laughed. Those times I had with him were the best but they were just an illusion and I was too blind to see through them. When I found out the truth, I denied it at first but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made why he avoided me recently."
"I tried to talk to him, to see what was wrong but he said nothing. What I saw with my own eyes was like a dream shattering before me. I could never forget his look on that day and it will haunt me forever as I live. Now I have to live with this memory but can never tell the tale because who would listen to a broken doll like me?"

"I just want you to know I fell in love with you at first sight. I can't stop thinking about you for even a minute. So I ask you this, will you go out with me-EEEEEEEE!"
"Stop bothering the poor girl you pervert!"
The male teen was kicked in the side and landed on the floor hard
"Damn it Sekai! I was almost there!"
The girl now known as Sekai scoffed at the guy and turned the confused girl. "Sorry but that guy is trouble to girls like you. He'll say that line to any cute girl he sees."
The girl looked at the guy and gave him an angry look. She turned her head and walked out of the classroom. The guy let his head down in failure.
"Why do you always this?"
"Because she has to keep creeps like you preying on innocent girls." Said another girl behind Sekai.
"Setsuna's right. As class rep, I have to maintain order which includes stopping you Sawanga."
He was about to say something when the bell rang, signaled that class was about to start. The students went to their assigned seats, with Sekai sat next to the windows and her friend Setsuna sat next to her. The teacher entered the classroom.
"Ok students, to start off the day we have a new student that transferred from another school. Please treat her with respect. The teacher looked over at the door. "You can come in now!"
The door opened to reveal a girl with long black hair. Most of the guys and a few girls took a good look at her. Sekai herself looked at the new girl with wonder.
"Wow someone like her is at this school?"
The new girl wrote her name on the board and turned around to face her new class. "My name Katsura Kotonoha. It's very nice to meet you all."
"Is there anything you would like to say about yourself?"
"No."
"Fine then. You can sit in the empty seat in next to the window in front of Saionji." The teacher gestured
Kotonoha walked to her new seat and sat down. Once class started, the girl felt a small tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see the girl behind her.
"Hi my name Saionji Sekai. It's nice to meet you Katsura-san."
The other didn't say anything and looked back at the board.
The short brown haired girl gave a look of annoyance. "She's chatty."

Once the bell for lunch rang, Kotonoha grabbed her bag ran out of the classroom like there was a fire going on. Sekai went outside of the classroom and waited for her friend to grab her stuff. She couldn't help but think the new girl's eyes. When she looked at them, they looked so…
"Sekai."
Her train of thought was broken by her friend Kiyoura Setsuna.
"Huh oh sorry about that Setsuna. Shall we go?"
The smaller girl nodded and both girls went their way to the cafeteria. Along walking to their destination, Sekai checked her pockets and had a look of distress on her face.
"No, no, no please no."
"What's wrong?"
Tears were coming out of Sekai's eyes"I've seem to forget my wallet again."
Setsuna sighed. "I'll go ahead."
"And split up your lunch as usual?"
The shorter girl nodded and went on her way.
"I'll be at the usual spot!" Sekai hollered at her friend.
She turned around and ran towards the rooftop. The rooftop was a special place for the two girls to eat and no one bother them. Once she arrived at the door, she stopped in front of it and looked through the glass. She gasped as she saw Kotonoha sitting on the bench she and Setsuna always sat. She also saw that the other girl had two boxed lunches with her. She opened the door carefully, not wanting to startle the new girl.
"Hey there."
Kotonoha gasped as she saw the other girl who was seated behind her standing in front of her.
"I-I'm sorry. I'll leave now."
She attempted to gather her stuff but was stopped by Sekai. "No please, it's all right. I was a little surprised to see anyone else up here."
"So you don't mind?"
The short haired girl shook her head. "Not in the least."
Sekai sat next the other girl and took a look at her boxed lunches. "Why do you two?"
Kotonoha looked at the boxes at her eyes widened. "Oh sorry. I forgot I made another one."
Sekai started at the extra lunch extensively. "C-Can I have it?"
The new girl looked at Sekai and smiled. "Of course."
The brown haired girl cheered as she took the lunch and opened it. What she saw was a lunch that was perfectly made.
"Katsura-san, did you make this yourself?"
"Yes I did."
Sekai took a piece into her mouth and she tasted paradise. Within the next few minutes, the boxed lunch was gone.
"That was the best lunch I've ever had."
"I'm glad you liked it."
"Sekai."
The girl heard her name and looked at the door to see her friend Setsuna holding her lunch.
"I thought you would wait."
Sekai clapped her hands together. "I'm sorry Setsuna but we have a new person to join us."
The stoic girl looked at the other girl. "Nice to meet you."
"N-Nice to meet you too."
Setsuna sat next to her friend and began eating her lunch.
"Oh yes introductions. Katsura-san this is Setsuna, my best friend in the world."
Kotonoha didn't say anything as she ate her lunch. While watching the other girl eat her lunch, Sekai couldn't help but wonder why her eyes looked so empty when she first saw them.
