Christian looked down at her and leaned in. He stopped about a flinch away from kissing her and said, "Now who says I would let you get away from a kiss." He pulled back a bit and giggled at her. Not in a mean way but more so in a nervouse one. He really liked her but wondered if she was only going to try to kiss him because of what he said. He really didn't want to mess this one up.

He stood there for a moment kind of confused and tried to play it off.

Saiyuri grinned as she let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her forehead against his, "And who said I wanted to get away?"

Noticing his hesitation, Saiyuri leaned back onto her heels and removed her arms from around his neck. Looking down, she blushed, "Sorry.. I shouldn't have done that, should I.."

"Gotcha," forcing a laugh, Saiyuri tried to play it off as a joke, "Guess I got you good, huh." Saiyuri then shoved her hands into her smock pockets and pointedly looked away from Christian, afraid he'd make fun of her for wanting to kiss him.

Christian was crushed. He had not ment to hurt her feelings he had only not wanted her to think he was all about feeling her up. Man I did it I just blew it with the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. He didn't hesitate now, he grabed her arm and spun her around. Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her to him and kissed her. He lingerd there waiting to see if this wonderfull girl would kiss him back or if she would slap him and never speak to him again. I hope I didn't screw this up beyond repair please let her kiss me back. He thought as he waited there.

Saiyuri was a bit taken aback by his sudden movements. Feeling his lips against hers, Saiyuri couldn't help but melt into his arms and forget how sudden it was. All that matter was that he had kissed her and hadn't pushed her away.

As one hand slid into his hair and the other slid around his neck pulling his lips closer to hers, Saiyuri returned his kiss with a couple of her own. Her lips moving tenderly against his, Saiyuri couldn't help but think how perfect this moment was, how right it felt.

As she kissed him, Saiyuri wondered if he was feeling as she was, or if he was only kissing her because he pitied her. At this moment, she didn't care. But after the kiss was over... what would happen then?

Christian's heart felt like it might actually explode. He had never kissed a girl before. So this was a big thing for him. All he knew was that it felt right, perfect. He was so glad she had not pushed him away and ran from him. This was right he could feel it in his soul.

He was relishing in the glow of their kiss when he pulled away and smiled. Leaning his forhead against her he said, "Well that was a first for me, I hope I wasn't too terrible.
He looked into her eyes with a shy smile that showed how happy and nervouse he truely was at this moment.

He hoped above all else that she liked him the way he liked her. He wanted this. He could see them together down the road. I like that thought, I want to be with her. He looked at her now his soul exposed to her.

Saiyuri grinned as she softly brushed her nose against his, "A first for me as well, and I must say, I rather liked it."

Leaning back into him, Saiyuri placed another tender kiss upon his lips, loving how his lips molded to hers. "If this is a dream, promise not to wake me up, okay? If I wake up, I might come to find you don't feel as I do," she whispered against his lips with a grin.

Hoping her kiss conveyed her growing attraction to him, and hoping it showed him just how much she wanted to be with him, Saiyuri placed another tender kiss upon his lips.

Christian hugged her close to him and smiled as she kissed him again. He openly accepted her affections for him. "Please let us be awake. This is far better than any dream I have ever had, better than any illusion I could have ever made." He hugged her close and lifted her from the ground spinning her in the air.

Upon setting her down he gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "dear Sai.. I don't have words to express how happy you have made me. Do you think on our outing I could have the pleasure of having dinner with you?"

He looked into her eyes as he took her hands, waiting for her answer.

Saiyuri couldn't contain her happiness any longer as she burst out in giggles. Slipping her arms around his waist, Saiyuri hugged him, "I'd like that, a lot. But only if you let me show you the most amazing restaurant on campus," she added as she gently poked his nose with her fingertip.

Taking her hand in his once more, Saiyuri led him towards the Main Building, lightly bumping her hip against his as they began walking, "And you just think you're happy. I believe I'm far happier than you are, being extremely glad that you even give you wits about me. Especially now that you've seen my studio and figured out I sleep in their half the time while working on pieces.. Despite my quirks, you still have an interest in me! It's a bit shocking, don't you think?"

Christian gladly let her take his hand and guide him towards the main building of the school. Laughing outloud himself. "I would love to see this amazing eatery you are speaking of. What do they serve?" He made an attempt to nibble at her finger as she poked his nose. She is so cute he thought.

The feel of her bumping his hip with hers felt familiar to him. He loved that they were so in sync with one another. " I don't know about that! I have never been this happy before I don't think. And your studio only adds to your charm and character. Its like seeing into your heart in there. And I must say I like what I see. " He fell in step with her then and just smiled. For once in his life he did not feel the need to conceal himself he had found a partner, his other half. He finally felt whole.

This morning Olivia woke as usual but she felt there was something different about today. As she got ready to go for a morning run she noticed out the corner of her eye, a stickie note on the fridge. Oh, i wonder what that is? As Olivia made her way to the fridge she noticed her mothers handwriting and at once knew what it was. Crap! I totally forgot i was starting at that new school today! Racing back to her room Olivia changed into a short shirt and a decent skirt. As she looked in the mirror she noticed that the colours looked horrible together. Without another thought, Olivia gave a quick flick of her wrist and changed the skirt to black and the top to purple. There, that should do it. With a glance at the clock she noticed the time, she was already late. Quickly tying up her hair, Olivia raced out the house and began to briskly walk down to the school. As she arrived she noticed a big building out the front with the lettering "Office", good thing it was easy to spot. Olivia didnt want to go around asking for directions like all new kids often did. Without another thought she walked towards the building and headed for the door. Stumbling through the front door of the main building Olivia found herself at the front office. As she went to take a few brisk steps to the front desk before she could be noticed she tripped and went flying face first. Owww! What a great start to a new school! I'm a complete fool!

Slipping her hand out of his and slipping it around his waist, Saiyuri moved closer to him as she leaned her head against his shoulder, "I'm glad you like it, I'm afraid I spend most of my free time in there. Well, I did until you came along, that is. I'm sure you don't want to spend all the time you have with me in a room full of paint fumes, though, so we'll have to find somewhere else to hang out together," she added with a laugh.

Smiling up at him, Saiyuri smiled, "As for my restaurant, it has my favorite vegetable sushi and eggrolls, not to mention onigri. But if you don't like that, there are other restaurants there we can go to."

Christian accepted her arm around his waist. He swung his over her shoulders so they could maintain their closeness. "Well we shall find a place just for us. We will know it when we see it. As for the food, I have always wanted to try sushi! In Louisiana we eat all kinds of strange stuff. So why not give the local culture a try. It will be my treat."

He smiled down at her when his attention was abruptly taken away. A girl had landed smack on her face in front of them as they reached the main building. She was not in uniform so he was unsure if she was a student. "Are you okay?"He asked as he looked over at the girl still on the floor.

Holding out her hand to the girl, noticing her somewhat short outfit, and smiled at her, "You must be new. I'm a Junior Honor here at Cordei, my name's Saiyuri. And this here's my boyfriend Christian. If you need any help getting situated, feel free to ask me or my twin Lucia, you can't miss her. She's the blonde haired-sapphire eyed version of me," she added with a soft chuckle as she helped the new girl up off of the floor, "What's your name?"

Christian was taken abak when he heard Sai speak. " Your my girlfriend! " He got caught up in it and huged her and planted a quick kiss on her lips.

"Err sorry about that, I am Christian the male other half of Sai here. Its nice to meet you. But what are you doing out of uniform?" He turned to Sai and grinned ear to ear and mouthed the words, "Thank you Sia love" Trying to let her know he fully accepted the position she had placed him in.

In the mean time he basked in his joy and turned his attention to the girl in front of them, again wondering why she was in such cvi clothing on school grounds on a weekday.

Saiyuri couldn't help but laugh as she bumped her hip against Christian's. Looking up at him, she poked his nose gently with her fingertip as she teased, "No, of course not, I just said it for the fun of it. Of course your my boyfriend! You think I'd actually let you go after kissing you like that? I think not. I'm keeping you whether you like it or not," she added as she placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

Turning back to the girl in front of them, Saiyuri laughed, "Forgive Christian, we probably seem like a couple of elementary kids acting like we are. But hey, what can I say? I like him a lot, even if he is unobservant," she teased with a grin as she reached up to the hand draped across her shoulder once more and linked her fingers through his, "You must have just transferred, right? Welcome to Cordei. What year are you?"

Christian couldn't wipe the goofy grin off of his face. He was someones boyfriend. More importantly he was Sai's boyfriend.. that ment she was his girlfriend. He was having a hell of a time wrapping his mind around it all. But he liked it. Man how things change in a day! he thought.

He nipped at Sai's finger again, this poke him on the nose thing was unbearably cute and it made him want to hold her down and tickle her. Her mock thread made his goofy grin grow even more. "o no please don't hurt me master Sai..! I promise not to run away." He giggled and squeezed her hand.

He turned his attention to the girl now standing in front of them and wondered what her story was.

Saiyuri giggled as she bumped her hip against his and whispered as she teased, "You couldn't even if you tried. All I'd have to do is send one of my you-know-whats to drag you back."

Saiyuri didn't flat out mention her Alice, knowing Christian would understand her comment, for fear the new girl wasn't an Alice and was a regular student. Since the girl had yet to speak, unable to get a word in edgewise between the two new-lovebirds, Saiyuri had yet to learn anything about her.

Looking up at Christian, Saiyuri started to feel guilty about practically talking around and ignoring the girl, having asked her questions and not even bothered to wait for a response as she kept talking to her dearest Christian. Smiling, she whispered softly, "You know, we're not making a good impression with the new student. One, she's going to think we're crazy. Two, she's going to think we're so in love we can't talk to anyone but each other. And three, she's going to think we're rude for not waiting for her to answer our questions and introduce herself," she added with a soft chuckle as she gently squeezed his hand and placed a tender kiss upon his lips.

Looking up, Olivia noticed a hand outstretched to her. As she followed it she noticed it was that of a girls, probally the same age herself. Graciously accepting the help after her not so gracious enterance, Olivia helped herself up with the aid of the girl.

No sooner than had she gotten up, Olivia was bombarded with questions and information. Just what i expected, she thought bitterly, I'm the shiny new toy. As she tried to get a word in and introduce herself she was talked over by the very energetic girl. Hmm maybe not so interesting after all. It seemed these two students were a couple and as sickening as it was to watch (and how painfully it reminded her of what she had left behind) Olivia kept her chin up and smiled. When the two had finished talking and looked back expectedly at her, she began to introduce herself. "Hello, I'm sorry for my clumsy enterance my name is Olivia" glancing around she noticed that everyone was in uniform "I'm a transfer student here and ive just arrived. I was told i would move in tomorrow and so i am here to get my classes and dorm. I was on my way over to the front desk when i tripped. I'm sorry for interrupting, ill be off now" and with that Olivia scampered off towards the front desk, safely away from the painful reminders which the two students had brought up.

Saiyuri blushed as she watched Olivia hurry off as if she's just seen a bomb start ticking down the seconds until it blew up. Looking up at Christian, Saiyuri stammered, "L-looks like we were w-worse than I thought..."

Cordei Academy looked... Impressive. Exactly how he had imagined from the letters he and Catalina exchanged. And it scared him, slightly. He had never went to a boarding school before, never had been cut off of chance to escape the bullies like he could, going home before. But from other side, Sebastian knew this was his chance to become different, more like he had always wanted to be.

And Catalina would be here for him. Not protecting - he didn't want that - but supporting. Thinking back to his sister, boy looked around nervously, wondering where she could be. But the short, fierce looking girl couldn't be seen anywhere. Swallowing lump in his throat, he finally headed over to the academy (All this time had had stood on the path and looked up to it, probably looking like a fool).

Inside left him impressed just as much as the outside but Sebastian was determined to not be distracted and headed in the directions of main office. Catalina had been pretty clear about them and soon he found it, opening the doors and slipping in as quietly and unnoticeable as he could. And despite having no powers, Seb was rather good at melting with the background.

As Olivia arrived at the front desk she noticed that there was no-one behind it. Great, just great, now im going to have to ask for directions! Olivia then turned around and began to scan the room for someone less noticable by others. Ahah! As she turned back towards the front door she noticed a boy that rather than standing out, seemed to preffer blending in. Good! Now i can get directions without having to worry about turning into the center of attention. So Olivia began to make her way towards the boy, although it wasnt to easy, the crowd in the room had grown seemingly bigger and she had to push people aside just to be able to move. Right, a few more steps and ill be next to him. Just ask for the girls dorms and then head off quickly so that he will not be able to ask any questions. Taking a deep breath, Olivia went forward to make herself known by him.

"Humm I think we may have frightened her. Or maybe she doesn't like lovey dovey stuff. Non the less we should get a move on so we can get to town. I want to see this shop of yours and I think I am getting hungry." With that said Christian pulled Sai to him and headed to the heads office to get their adventure started.

Nodding, Saiyuri followed him with a sigh, "Perhaps, but we couldn't exactly help it.. I guess we'll just have to be more careful around her.. I hope everyone else isn't like this," she muttered, recollecting the incident with Madaline, "Since we're both Honors, and obviously happy, I have a feeling certain regulars are going to end up grouping us with wretched people and trying to put us down. She already managed to do that earlier," she added with a scowl.

As much as Saiyuri tried, she still couldn't forgive Madaline for grouping her with the wretched honors of Cordei. Sure, she'd forgive her in time. But that didn't mean she had to forgive her today.

Heading into the Office, she noticed a small boy talking to Olivia. He looks nervous. Saiyuri mentally told herself to remember this boy and introduce herself later, hopefully she could help get him settled better into Cordei.

Walking past them, Saiyuri simply nodded a hello in their direction before slipping past the crowds to the front desk, making sure before hand that she and Christian looked nothing more like friends, "Excuse me, but may we speak to the Headmaster? We need to go to the market in town to pick up a few art supplies and we need a pass to go."

The secretary nodded and sent them on inside.

When the Headmaster motioned for them to sit down, Saiyuri began asking her request. After listening to her speak, the Headmaster pondered a bit, wondering if it was a good idea to let two seventeen year old students, of opposite sex that is, to go into the market alone. However, since the boy was new, the Headmaster didn't see any harm in it. The two didn't know each other, after all, so there wasn't any way they could have already developed a romantic inclination. Ms. Rumeti had been looking for someone to join her in her art escapades for months, perhaps she simply found that in the Corbin lad.

Writing out a pass for the two students to give to the guards at the school gate, the Headmaster said that as long as they spent no more then four hours in the market, they could go. But if they broke that four hours, they would be banned from the market for one month.

Bowing in respect, Saiyuri thanked the Headmaster and took the passes from him.

Once Christian and Saiyuri had cleared the Office and were back outside, she slipped her arm around his waist and smiled up at him, "Ready to go?"

Sebastian felt slightly lost but he wasn't one to panic in such situation. Instead, he stopped, still hoping to not be noticed, and observed the surroundings, trying to figure out in which direction he had to go to sign up for his classes and get his dorm number. And maybe, if he was really lucky, find Catalina.

A moment later, though, he was distracted from his thoughts as a new presence entered his field of vision. This time, it seemed she was, for it was girl, wasn't going to pass him by and walked straight over to him (As much as going straight was possible right now). Giving an small smile, he greeted her with hello, hoping that he hadn't just thought she was coming over to talk with him.

As Olivia reached the boy, she noticed he was about the same age as herself. Good, he may even be in my year level, so he can help me out even more! "Hello there! My name is Olivia, im a new transferr student here and i seem to be a bit lost. "No-one is at the front desk and i need help for directions, do you think you could help me out?" as she studied his face, she noticed that he didnt seem to be so sure of himself. Oh darn, i hope he isnt new here either!
