Sora had a fleeting sensation of falling down - [color=00aeef][i]some sort of dark pit?[/i][/color] He thought - before his body slammed down on something hard and flat, the shock from the impact spread across his muscles to the bones in an instant. His eyes snapped open at the agony. [color=00aeef]"Wha---?"[/color] he coughed, his sight slowly coming to a focus - at the whitewashed ceiling. It was then he realized he had fallen off his own seat.

He let out a tired sigh - it had been a week since Cera (he couldn't remember her full name; it was too long and complicated) invaded his dream, and now this elfish alien girl from nowhere ([color=00aeef][i]a Levi-something planet[/i][/color], he mused) had taken the liberty to reside within him (his mind or soul, he had no idea). She had assured him that she didn't have the power to take over his body - which was a great relief to the boy - but he wished that his brain would stop replaying the same dream he had when he first met her every time he was going to sleep. He yawned.

[color=82ca9d]"Sora-san!"[/color] The frantic voice of his homeroom teacher, Maki Hoshino, became sharper to his ears with each syllable; he coughed - for the second time - when something soft and huge was shoved right before his face. [color=82ca9d]"Are you alright?"[/color]

A muffled sound came out from the chest cushion. [color=00aeef]"Uh, sensei? I...I can't breathe."[/color]

[color=82ca9d]"Oh, I'm so sorry!"[/color] As the shadow of Maki's voluptuous figure left his line of view, he sat up, wobbling to his feet; he was immediately greeted by the irritated stares from his classmates. He grinned sheepishly, but let the smile drop when it dawned upon him that the reason for their silent hostility appeared to be more than just him disrupting the lesson.

[color=82ca9d]"Are you sure you're okay? Do you need to go to the infirmary to rest for a while?"[/color]

He returned his attention to the teacher. [color=00aeef]"I'm fine."[/color] He rubbed the back of his head gingerly. [color=00aeef]"But I guess I'll do that, visit the infirmary."[/color] As he passed by the table of Sotoko Yanagi, one of the two transfer students in his class, the familiar voice spoke suddenly, [color=f49ac2][i]"By the way, the nasty twerp who kicked you off the chair is that evil-eyed lady who sits behind you."[/i][/color]

That made him stopped in his tracks. [color=00aeef]"What, she did?"[/color] he said aloud, looking at Sotoko with disbelief. [color=00aeef]"Why would she do that?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2][i]"Why don't you ask her instead? And it seems like she hates you. A lot."[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef]"I don't understand."[/color] He raised his eyebrows at the scowling face of the titian-haired girl. [color=00aeef]"Do you hate me that much?"[/color]
