Riniko Shima (Ling's Mother):„ Ling wake up, you should really get more independent!"

She opens the door and see's her daughter already awake.

Ling's Mother:„ Good Morning, i didn't expect that you were awake."

Ling twitches Out of schick, she didn't hear that her Mother Came in, because she was listening to music.

Ling:„ Good Morning, sorry i didn't hear you because i was listening to music."

Ling's Mother:„ It's alright, I prepaired food you it's on the tabel. There ist also a Box with food in the Tablet. I will go to work now! Leave early enough and don't be late for school, Kumo will be waiting for you. Have nice day till evening!"

Ling:„ Thanks you, see you later Mom! Have a nice day!"

They Huge each other and then her Mother leaves for work, which leaves Ling standing there, alone with here thoughts. She get's ready, eats and then leaves their apartment.

Ling goes down the stairs as she sees a door which ist only a few Meters away from her geting apruptly opened. A man with long black hair and black eyes tries to push another man Out of the apartment. She stops walking and stare's at them, the other man stands infront of the black haired and stare's at him then he runs off. Ling lets her eyes wander up and down on the guy, they stand there in silence watching each other waiting for the other to make a move.

Black haired guy:„ You also go to the Sukumoro high school, don't you? You probebly heard of me already I am Shikamura Kuno! And who are you? If i had to guess, i would think you are Ling Shima because of your analysing look."

Ling:„ You are correct, but how did you know? Are there really going rumours about me around?

Shikamura:„ Yes, there are rumours going around about you, you are supposedly a genius you know? But are you really a genius?"

Ling:„ We should get going, If you want to still Talk to me, you can come with me. But If we stay we will be late!"

Shikamura:„ I will come with you!"

At the half of the way to school, Kumo, Ling's best friend, waited for her she was surprised that Shikamaru went with Ling, she already knew him because there where alot of rumours about him. They explained the situation and continued walking. It should have been a relaxed morning but Shikamura questioned Ling the whole way to school. When the three arrived everyone staired at them and whisperd behind their backs. The Rest of the day was relaxed, but there started going rumours trough the school. Kumo knows about all rumours about all of them, she also knows If they are true or just made up. So she also knows about the new rumour that Shikamaru and Ling are dating and that she is the third wheel of their relationship. And did something against it but what?

The school has ended five minutes ago, Kumo is now searching for Ling, so that they can go home together.

Kumo:„ Hey aren't you a classmate of Ling?"

Classmate:„ Yes, I am and if you want to now where she is, she is in the Classroom of the class 1-C."

Kumo:„ Oh Thanks, but how did you know that I was going to ask that?"

Classmate:„ How I knew? You literally are together all the time, everywhere."

Kumo:„ Hehehe, I forgot that part."

Another Classmate called the one talking to Kumo so they said goodbye and both classmates went the stairs down.

Ling:„ I overheard you talking, do you want to come home with me? My Mom isn't home today."

Kumo:„ Sure, that would be great. I actually where going to ask you to come home with me, because I need you to teach me history, we will have a history test soon."

Ling straight A-Student in every subject, Kumo everything between grade B and D. Most classmates of both of their classes think Ling and Kumo have as a duo „the perfect balance between a genius and the typical student".

Ling:„ Of course I will help you but i don't want to explain the whole book to you."

They went to Ling's apartment which is on the 6th floor of the house. They cooked themselves tamagoyaki with rice and some vegetables, and started learning. After ten minutes:

Kumo:„ How can you stay so concentrated? And how do you remember all this things from history with all the dates and people?"

Ling:* If you knew, that I was some of the people of which we are talking or was a witness of well known historical events in my past life's and I was reincarnated, if I told you, you would be thinking that I was lying.*

Kumo:„ Earth at Ling? Just as I said you were concentrated you zoomed out! So how do you remember all this, please don't say repetition!"

Ling:„ Repetition and memory! Just read trough it alot of Times then you will remember."

Kumo:„ I hate learning, can't I be a straight A-Student Like you?"

Ling:„ Kumo can' t you see, I am learning too. Now concentrate and you will be done faster. Should I have an eye on you while you do your homework too?"

Kumo:„ I feel like you are a human surveillance camera, waiting for me to do something wrong or just not doing my work. Sometimes your really creepy do you know that?"

Ling:„ But I would help you correct your mistakes, wouldn't I?"

Kumo:„ Ok, I will concentrate!"

They finished their learning session and also their homework. Kumo then get's a call from her parents to go home. Just then they notice it was already getting dark. Ling then brought Kumo to her home and started her way back.

Ling:* Sometimes i really wonder why i have all my memories from my past life's but other people clearly don't?*

What she didn't notice was the shadow sneaking in between the trees watching every step she takes.

Ling continued walking, then she suddenly noticed that someone was following her. She turned around.

Ling:„ Whoever you are come out immedeatly! And don't you dare attack me!"

But the shadow wasn't there anymore. She continued walking again.

Ling* I will watch out from now on, better be safe than sorry.*

???:„ How is our plan going, did you find useful information?"

??!:„She nearly noticed me, she has a good instinct!"

???:„ Be more careful or our plan will be shattered in pieces!"

??!:„ Understood sir, it won't happen again."

On the next day in the morning Ling and her Mother got ready as usual, as they went to the tabel to eat, when someone knocked at the door. Ling went to Open the door and opened it.

Ling:„ What are you doing here.....again?"

Shikamaru:„ Hello Hello, I want to go to school with you and Kumo. It was funny with you „the genius" and Kumo „the gossiper". You are a funny duo, this rumour is actually true."

Ling's Mother:„ Who is at the door?"

Shikamaru looks at the door sign to read their last name.

Shikamaru:„ Good morning Mrs. Shima, my name is Shikamaru Kuno. It's my pleasure to meet you! I live in the 4th floor of this building, Ling and I are both going to the same school and we are in the same year as well."

Ling's Mother:„ Nice to meet you! Did you already eat?"

Shikamaru:„ I didn't, but I will buy something to eat for myself at school. I will just wait for Ling."

Ling's Mother:„ No No, we cooked too much anyway. Please eat with us. You can sit here. I hope it's after your likeing!"

Ling and Shikamaru left after they finished eating. As they went outside the building Ling immedeatly checked if they was someone following them. She turned her head from the right side to the left and Back. She did this about every two minutes.

Shikamaru:„ Are you alright, why are you shaking your head? Are you cold or is it too hot?"

Kumo:„ Hiii, Ling?Why are shaking your head?"

Shikamaru:„ I also asked that."

Ling:„ Am I shaking my head? I am just looking around."

Kumo:„ I didn't know, you could have energy in the morning. That's something new."

Ling:„ WE will be late, so continue walking now!"

They went to school and then saw the advertisings signs for the school president election.

Kumo and Shikamaru* They will definitely ask Ling to candidate, with her perfect grades and fitting personality. But she won't like it!*

They go into school, split up and go to their classrooms. When they teacher came, they anounced a class trip to a labour where the whole first grade will go together. After that the teachers held their classes and soon the classes of the first period ended. Kumo, Shikamaru and Ling then met in the cafeteria and started their discussion about the trip to the labour.
