Story excerpts:

Ding, ding, ding, ding…A cry to many of hopeless hearts. On such days, when the fog covered the land where it blinded even the sharpest eye, there seemed little hope for the fools. One such fool was Yuuki, Austria.

Hopelessly she attempted to run through the dense, white fog. She sighed and stopped, figuring she would be late no matter how much running she did. Not to mention it would save her from bruising, bumping into pole after pole. Austria continued to slowly work her way through the endless blur. “Uwaaaah!” followed by a crash, that’s all she could hear. Yet…the voice sounded familiar. “H-Hanamura-sama?” She questioned. A figure came into focus; sure enough it was Hanamura, Yosuke.

Yosuke was Austria’s friend and classmate, someone she’d met six months back when he’d transferred from the city for his parents’ work. She was one of the few people not to judge Junes becoming so popular, often saying “Junes isn’t running companies out of business! People choose where to shop, so don’t blame Junes or Hanamura-sama!!” trying to defend him, although indirectly embarrassing him at the same time. He was dear to her heart; she was never going to let him go…

It was a Monday, not her favorite day of the week but the chance to be with Yosuke always made it better. Well…Yosuke or Ichijou, Kou. Kou was her classmate the previous year, and part of the basketball team she managed. “Th-This is not the time to be thinking about this!” Yosuke raised an eyebrow in confusion and laughed, “You’re so weird. Hop on; we only have three minutes ‘til we’re late.” Austria hesitated at Yosuke’s offer, for it wasn’t like he was the best cyclist she’d ever met. None-the-less, she wouldn’t need a blemish on her attendance so early on. Austria sat on the back of the bright yellow bicycle and wrapped her arms around Yosuke’s torso. Quickly they were on their way with the wind whipping her hair against her face fiercely.

One minute left, after Yosuke threw his bike to the side, the duo dashed to class. They skidded in, and right as they sat, the final bell sounded. Austria felt relief wash over her body. Then a thought popped into her head and she had the urge to tell Yosuke, “Hey, Morooka isn’t on our case…Odd right? He is soo…UGH!” Yosuke chuckled, “Don’t jinx it, ha...It is our first day.” She nodded in agreement. No sooner had she finished than the teacher walked in, a student she’d yet to meet followed behind quietly. “Silence!” the older man yelled. “I, Mr. Morooka, am your new homeroom Teacher from today!” Austria prepared herself for “King Moron’s” infamous speeches.

“I know its spring and love is in the air. But I will not tolerate association the opposite sex. I'll be watching over you like an eagle to make sure you live the life of proper students!” Yosuke made an exasperated sound, “Ok Then. Let me introduce a new student; a troubled youth who has transferred to this small rural town from the big bad city. He is a delinquent you understand? You girls shouldn't flirt with him!” Austria held back a giggle, her only thought being “Psh, flirt with him? Umm…No thanks. He’s nothing as beautiful as Hanamura-sama or Kou-sama!!” A blush lit up her cheeks at a thought of kissing either, “Urk.” Yosuke looked at her oddly, and she blushed crimson in embarrassment. “Seta-san, introduce yourself.”

The silver haired boy paused, “Who are you calling a delinquent?” Morooka’s face burned, “What are you, in your rebellious phase? Alright! Your name is now in my list of rotten students” He took a breath, “You're in a new place now so leave your bad ways in your old home. Don't think you can misbehave and pickup girls as you please here! …Kids these days are worst than those in the past don't you think? All of you with your cell phone dating...” He rambled on, Austria’s interest fading.

“Teacher, The new transfer student can sit over here right?” Austria perked her head; it was Satonaka, Chie who had spoken so boldly. Austria didn’t personally know Chie, but she did sit behind the girl who always wore a bright green warm-up jacket that was far out of uniform policy. “Oh? I see. Okay, now your seat will be over there next to Satonaka-san. Go ahead and take a seat quickly!”
