Ali actually has brown eyes but he wears contact lenses to hide the slight discolouration in his left eye since he is partially blind in that eye.

[UnwrittenWishes]

Kat didn't know what exactly compelled her to move to Namimori, Japan. She had been living a quaint life in her little town in Italy with her family and friends when suddenly she got the urge to just go. Perhaps it was that she tired of the same, on going routine, the never-ending drama, the always-the-same scenery and wanted something fresh - something new. Even if it had met learning a completely new language on top of her nearly fluent French she had been learning at the time.

Either way, only a month after the severe craving, Kat found herself dropped off at the little suburban town in front of her new home, wind blowing away the butterflies in her stomach. It was a strange place, but with a smile on her face, she had decided she liked it. The shadows and what-ifs of the home didn't scare her. In fact, they quite excited her. She would be different from the rest of the town; the only natural blond and the only one with an accent that would be just a bit off. But as she unpacked, not minding the neighbors as she inspected her lawn and whatnot, that she did make one fatal flaw in her plan.

Miss Katherine Lovell would be all alone.

[Skylark]

There's serveral ways to getting to and from school.Average teens of Japan prefer walking or taking public transport.The more well-off families drop their children too school by car.When you live close to the school,but not close enough to walk their without being late or far enough to need to take the bus,what would one do?

Alistair,the above mentioned child,prefers to rollerblade.

His thick,jet black hair blew around his face as he raced down a quiet street which was slightly sloped in angle.A pair of lively blue eyes gave the road their complete attention from behind a pair of stylish racing goggles.This was truly the best way to get home.
''Left-right-right-leeeft-'' Ali instructed his movements under his breath and looked up right before he turned the corner to where his apartment home is located.
''SOFA?!!'' he yelled as he watched two guys carrying a small sofa toddle infront of him.The two men were frozen as they watched the school boy wheeling towards them.At the last minute,Ali ducked and went under the sofa,skidding to a stop after.
''SAFE!'' he spread his arms out as if waiting for his scores to be announced and looked at the furniture being unloaded from a van.''Eeeeh...I have a new neighbor~''

[UnwrittenWishes]

From within the household, as the hired men from her family began to delicately haul the furniture she had picked out just a few days ago to have the necessary assets for a home, Kat heard the small jumble of commotion. Clearly nothing bad had happened since at first glance everything seemed intact, including the plush, crimson sofa she had specifically picked out for her living room. Because she had clearly heard the shout of "sofa" she immediately assumed something had happened. However, the only thing that happened was the progress being halted from the startle.

"What in the world...?" Craving her neck to look out the window, careful not to spill her hot cup of tea, Kat saw a boy just around her age, crouched down, looking around with a look that could really only be defined as Did anyone just see that and That was pretty amazing of me wasn't it. His ashy, black hair was a bit messy, and on closer inspection Kat noted a pair of rollerblades latched onto his feet. A faint blush rose in her cheeks, as she hid a bit behind the curtain, still visible to the outside world. Just who was he?

[Skylark]

Ali was a bit surprised when one of the men started telling him off for the stunt.Well,he wasn't surprised he was being told off,he kinda deserved it...he was more startled by the foreign language he was hearing.
''Eto..Italian,huh?''he mumbled to himself after analysing.He raised a glove-clad hand in the air in an apologetic gesture before managing to say ''Mi dispiace'' as best as he could manage with his accent.

The men seemed pleasantly surprised and went back to hauling the red sofa indoors after seemingly accepting Alistair's apology.Thank god his interest in multiple languages taught him some key phrases to use in these situations.He sighed in relief that he wasn't in major trouble.When he followed the men with his eyes,he saw some movement in the neighboring apartment's window.
''Eh...'' he tilted back to try and see who it was....until his rollerblade's wheels slid and he completely lost his balance.''GAAHAA!!'' he flailed comically before landing backwards on his butt,his school bag cushioned his back.''Ughh....no one saw that....No one.'' he prayed,pouting at the chuckling he could hear from the two guys from earlier as he laid flat on the ground.

[UnwrittenWishes]

As she watched the mysterious boy on rollerblades get up and fall right on his, wearing the most childish pout she had ever seen, the blond couldn't help but giggle. He was so hopeless but really just not afraid to show it. Despite the raging anxiety in her stomach about making a bad first impression, Kat careful fixed her messy bun, brushed her bangs out to the side a bit, and slipped on her shoes. She kept a tight hold of the cup as she came out of her house to try and help the boy get himself together.

In seeing him a bit closer, she felt her throat dry up. He had a much cuter looking face when close enough to make it out and there was just something that made a shiver go up her spine tantalizingly. And that's when every which worry popped into her mind. What if she forgot how to speak Japanese? Would he know Italian? Was there anything in her teeth? Oh God was there anything on her face?!

Clearing her throat and taking another sip of her tea, she looked around nervously, outstretching a fragile hand to his fallen figure.

"W-Would you like some help?"

[Skylark]

Being the occassional airhead he was,Ali knew that any longer he spent facing up at the sky,he'll get distracted and lay there watching the clouds for a good twenty minutes or more if he didn't get up now.Using his bag as leverage,Ali sat up and almost fell back down when he saw a girllooking down at him....with a cup of tea.For some reason,that made him want to giggle.Which wasn't manly at all so he scrapped that idea.

Hearing the slight accent in the girl's words,he smiled gently and took her hand,careful not to let the wheels on his skates slide as he stood.He dared not tug too hard on the blonde girl's hand since she appeared rather delicate.Heck,his own slender frame looked less delicate compared to her's.
''....Grazie~'' he said to her with his signiture lopsided smile,figuring she was Italian also.''Ah,so you're my new neighbor~'' he nodded in approval.

[UnwrittenWishes]

She blinked, a bit surprised from his response in Italian, though, when she thought about it, it did seem natural for anyone to know the basic words in any other language. After all, her old school had supplied the students with over thirteen options of language classes - even if there was some that were rarely used anywhere in the World anymore. Flashing him a friendly smile and trying not to be intimidated by his height (he had to have had at least three inches or so on her) she nodded at his comment, looking back at her new house.

"That's me," A sip from her cup. "I have to get ready to help move some of my stuff again..." She murmured, mostly to herself at an extent, flashing back to earlier when she Carrie in the kitchen chairs, table, and even her desk for doing schoolwork and what not. The moving men seemed really apologetic to have made her do such work because of how fragile she looked, but she didn't mind. She could break easily but not that easily.

"By the way," The blond female glanced back up at the boy, shaking their hands that were, conveniently, already together. "My name is Katherine, Kat for short. And you are?"

[Skylark]

''Katherine...Kat~'' Ali spoke English fluently but,his vocabulary has started to sound like romanji after living in Japan for so long.It has been a while since he heard or had spoken a name that wasn't Japanese.''My name is Alistair Xing.Ali,for short...'' he shook her hand back and took off his goggled with his free hand.

His currently blue eyes were bright with childish excitement to know that he wouldn't be living around here alone anymore.And he wasn't the only foreigner.Most could tell from his surname that Ali was Chinese.
''Hey,if it's alright,would you like me to help you move of that stuff with you?'' he asked,jutting a thumb at the remaining furniture ''I need to go put my school stuff down,won't take too long~'' he added,gesturing to his Nami-chu uniform.

[UnwrittenWishes]

Kat was mildly surprised at such an act of kindness to be offered. Rarely did you ever really find help in Italy that was just offered randomly to you. Perhaps Japan was different in more ways than one. But the more friendly the people the better she supposed, it would make it easier when she went to school after Spring Break for this town was over. Shed much rather start in the Fall, where it was common for foreigners to arrive, as opposed to the middle of the season when it draw much attention to her. And Kat honestly wasn't fond of attention all at once. That's why she was discreet about moving and all. But that was before she met this clumsy boy by the name of Ali.

"Ali, it's nice to meet you. And that's very nice of you, are you sure...are you sure this wouldn't be too much of a bother for you?" She asked delicately, taking careful note to look at her school uniform she got and double check that they matched Ali's. If so, that would mean that she'd be seeing him for the remaining bit of the school year too. At Namimori High School.

[Skylark]

Ali chuckled softly and patted Kat's head tenderly.It was a habit he just can't get rid of.
''I've lived here long enough to know that,helping neighbors out is almost a custom in this country'' he assured her with an easy smile ''Besides,I would've appreciated help when I first moved in~'' Ali waved a hand casually and started walking to the stairs.Both his and his new neighbor's apartment was on the second floor,the two on the ground floor were vacant,one being the landlord's.It was kinda weird before the apartment complex was at first two sets of houses,therefore,there was a gap between and bridged together by metal stairs.

''Aaah...'' Ali tutted and realised the guys moving the bed into Kat's new home had blocked his entry into his own apartment,which was the one at the end.''Tchhh...Oh well,stairs are boring.'' he declared and took of his skates,swapping them for his school shoes which were in his bag.
''I'll be down to help you in a minute!'' he waved to Kat and...boldly jumped up and climbed up the metal railings to land infront of his door.Casually,as if that stunt was his daily routine,he unlocked his door and walked inside.

[UnwrittenWishes]

Her jaw dropped slightly in awe in seeing him casually scale the metal to his door and open it like it was nothing. Surely if she true that she would break her leg or get a severe injury! It seemed though that the most unlikely of people could do anything here in this country. This very friendly country. A little thankful smile played at her lips. She was secretly very glad she met Ali. It meant she wouldn't be alone in this town of surprises.

Finishing her tea, she set down the cup out of harms way and rolled up the sleeves to her button up, periwinkle shirt to her elbows, waving the men away from the truck after tucking the last chair neatly into her house. She gathered three rather large boxes into her arms and made for a slow walk to the door, placing each step on the side walk with care. Kat didn't want to make Ali carry too much. Besides, it'd be embarrassing to if he saw her manga collection from over the years. No sane person should ever have that many, was the one guilty thought she always had when thinking about them.

[Skylark]

After dumping his bag onto his bed,Ali removed his school jumper vest and took off his tie.He unbuttoned two buttons then rolled his sleeves up to his elbows,revealing his rather pale skin.Despite his slender figure he was still muscular from his hobbies.Like parkour and rollerblading.
''Right...'' he stretched and heard the door of Kat's apartment close right before he stepped out of his own ''Eeeh...started without me.'' he almost huffed and bounded off the railing instead of the stairs.Again.

Once he had landed,Ali grabbed a few boxes,stacking them with perfect balance.As he carried the boxes,he unconciously began to deduce what could be in them.Tiny flashes of smiles started plaguing his face as he acended the stairs(like a normal person for once) and balanced the three hearty sized boxes in one hand as he knocked on the door.
''Your manga collection could rival mine~'' he commented when the door was open,chuckling a little.

[UnwrittenWishes]

Kat blushed a bit of a dark red in hearing that, setting down her boxes on the counter of her breakfast bar for her kitchen, her mind reeling slowly on how humiliating that was and how she should try denying it. But rather than denying it, she pointed to the spiral staircase where her room would be.

"Th-there isn't that many there, I swear. Just drop the boxes on my bed please." She said behind her shoulder while hurriedly walking out to get her next boxes of belongings. She had to get her clothes and hen little Knicks-knacks and she'd be done. Then the unpacking would start.

[Skylark]

Alistair chuckled and decided not to persue the topic further.He could tell that there were over maybe fourty coppies of manga all together judging by how many boxes and approximate numbers of books there were.Ever since he was a little thing,Ali had the uncanning observational skills any detective could dream of having.All he needed was to feel how heavy the boxes were,what sounds the contents made and then do the maths.Which he happens to hate,by the way.

The interior already looked fancy and regal even though most of the stuff hasn't been unpacked yet.Ali made his way up the short staircase and made quick work of putting the boxes onto Kat's bed.He didn't feel right being in a girl's room for too long.With that done,he waited in her living room,looking around...Since he had picked the bulkier of the boxes,Kat shouldn't have trouble bringing the rest up.
