It was like any other morning of my life. Get up, eat and go to school. Pretty ordinary, I could say. If only..

 "Hah! Monster, monster! Don't look at us, we might turn into stone! Bleh!" Some kid picked up a stone and inflicted a bruise on my cheek, again. This happens almost everyday that I'm immune to it.

 My mom told me to not listen to them. I was just born differently.. unlike the normal green, blue, brown or black eyes any human could get, I received a pair of crimson jade corneas. It resembled blood.. and I did look like a monster. No wonder.

 But whenever I looked at my parents, they didn't turn to stone. Tch. Why am I even listening to these stupid rumors when I know for hell that there are not even the slightest bit of truth to them!

 I would have looked like mean person if it weren't for my weak expression and body. A frail person in body and heart. But I did well concealing my feelings that I wasn't hurt by their painful words. I made sure of it.

 That was how I nabbed my first and last friend, Hikari. The only one who cares about me, well, the fake me. But I couldn't care. Someone who gives me free food if I forgot my lunch and lets me copy homework as long as I did the same thing back, I'm pretty much content.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

 As I made it to Fugasawa District Middle School, I proceeded to take off my outdoor shoes in exchange for my indoor ones. 

 Tap.

 On my shoulder, expected to see Hikari but no.. a boy I never seen before but he did looked a year younger than me.

 My red irises went wide with surprise, no one except Hikari and a few teachers talked to me or even touched me if I don't know them and am not friendly with them, except this kid, since he probably doesn't know the diameter of my personal space.

Makes me remember I'm secluded from the class with my very own interior classroom, only select teachers and friends could freely come to.

A cough was stifled uncomfortably in my throat as the words were clogged in, as I couldn't even lie my way out of the bewilderment now.

 It was either people hate me, afraid of me or just neutral. 

 I was distracted from my thoughts when a creepy voice eerily woke me up from my theories. 

 "I finally found you..,"

And everything was stained to black which seemed like years in this empty void.
