Once upon a time, there was a girl named Tsar. Tsar was a nice person and quite intelligent, though she was also very clumsy. Because they thought she was weird, the mean girls made fun of her, led by their queen bee, an especially mean girl named Dakota.
Luckily for Tsar, she had a small group of very good friends to support her! There was Vinder, the calm one; Spanner, the nice one; and Aliria, the smart one.
Also attending Cerclorium High was a boy named Jello. Jello was very popular, and extremely attractive. Tsar liked Jello, but she was always much too shy to talk to him.
One day, Tsar accidently bumped into Jello in the hallway, and dropped her bag, which spilled stuff all over the ground.
"I- I'm sorry!" stuttered Tsar as she leaned down to pick up her books, blushing wildly.
"It's fine," said Jello, smiling ather as he helped pick up the books.
------------------------------------
"He
smiled at you?" asked Vinder as they walked home that afternoon.
Aliria grinned and said sarcastically, "Just how much did you embarrass yourself?"
"I did not embarrass myself!" protested Tsar, smiling despite the rude comment.
Unfortunately, Dakota lived nearby, and she overheard them thalking.
"
You like Jello? Really?" Dakota laughed. "Well you won't get him. Tomorrow I'm gonna ask him to the school dance, and of course he's going to say yes!"
Tsar thought for a moment. Before she could say anything, Spanner yelled, "Well, Tsar's gonna ask him too, and he's gonna say yes to her because she's much cooler that you!"
------------------------------------
The next day, before class, Tsar got up her courage and walked up to Jello.
"Jello, will you, uh," she paused for a moment, then said as fast as she could, "go to the dance with me?"
"No, he won't," said Dakota, who happened to be nearby, "because he's going with me!"
"I never agreed to that!" said Jello, surprised.
"You didn't have to!" explained Dakota. "I'm the prettiest girl at the school, and you're the cutest boy, so we have to go together!"
"But I'd rather go with Tsar," said Jello.
"R- Really?!?" gasped Tsar.
The bell rang, and they all hurried off to class. Standing outside the science room, where Tsar had class, was a boy she didn't recognize.
"Hello," said Tsar. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kaito," said the boy. "The new exchange student from Japan."
"I'm Tsar, nice to meet you," she said.
"Nice to meet you too, Tsar-san," said Kaito.
"San? What does that mean?" asked Tsar.
"In Japan, it's polite to use the honorific san after people's names," explained Kaito. "I've heard you don't do it here in America though, I should try to stop."
"You don't have to, Tsar-san sounds pretty cool!" said Tsar. "Does that mean I should call you Kaito-san?"
"I suppose," said Kaito. "Now, I'm supposed to go to Ms. Amber's class, do you know where that is?"
"It's right here!" said Tsar, gesturing at the door they stood by. "I've got her class first hour too, want to sit next to me?"
