You were in 10th grade. 15 going on 16. You didn't have many friends, yet you enjoyed your solitude sometimes. You've heard around an annoying little fox; Ash fox. He was young, pesky, and mocking. He was, well, 'different'. you didn't care much about that young fox, but you've heard that his cousin had joined the school due to living with the little Ash because of family problems. You didn't pry but was still curious.

Turns out Ash's cousin ended up in some of your classes. Chemistry, Math, and History. He seemed very mature and participated a lot. He seemed smart, too. You saw him stand up to Ash's bullies once or twice.

However, today, there was a team project assigned in chemistry. You begged the teacher to do it alone, but she ended up pairing you with Kristofferson. Ash's cousin.

he debuted, writing his name on the sheet as you two stood next to another. He looked at you with his wide blue eyes, curious.

"..Hello," he started, his voice casual and open.
