"Okay childs, that's it for today's lesson. Make sure you study for the next lesson." After the bell rang, the teacher started to leave the classroom after telling the students.
After the teacher left, all the students were already starting to form groups of friends by socializing and talking to each other.
But for some reason, no one dared to approach Itachi. Even the girls were just looking at him from afar without approaching him.
Itachi was just staring out the window with his hand on his chin. Outside there were cherry blossom petals blowing away by the wind and children interacting with each other at recess. Itachi contemplates
*tap**tap*
Hearing the sound of shoes slowly approaching him, he snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the direction the sound had come from.
In the direction he was looking, he saw his silver-haired classmate standing right next to his desk staring at him with a smile on his face.
Itachi looked at her face, trying to understand what he was trying to do. But he couldn't quite understand what he wanted. This was surprising to him because he was just an eight-year-old boy. It was clear that he was different from his other children.
The silver-haired classmate was the first to speak after a while of silence between them.
"Hi Itachi-san, I'm Ichimaru Gin, sitting in the row next to you. Nice to meet you. Let's get along well from now on," he said with a smile on his face.
"...Nice to meet you Ichimaru-san, I too Uchiha Itachi let's get along well from now on" Itachi returned his greeting after a few seconds of silence.
But there was silence between them again. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Itachi was the one who spoke this time. "Hmm do you need something, Ichimaru-san?" Itachi said after seeing Gin standing still there
"Oh! No, I don't need anything, I just..."
'Just?'
"I thought we could be friends," he said with a smile still on his face
"Friend?" °~°
" Yes friend"
"…" Itachi continued to stare at her blankly and thought.
'I don't judge people by their looks anyway and they seem more mature than others so why not'
Itachi thought about that, but inside he wanted to be friends with others. because he had no friends
"Okay then, let's get along well from now on Ichimaru-san," he said as he held out his hand to shake it.
Gin's smile grew bigger, "Likewise Itachi-san and from now on Gin also call me by my name," he said as he shook Itachi's hand.
"Okay Gin, then you just call me Itachi" Itachi replied as well and they chatted for the rest of the recess to get to know each other better.
While this interaction was taking place between Itachi and Gin, most of the class were unaware that their eyes were on them.

Itachi stuffed his books into his bag after the bell rang and pulled out his bento box for lunch. Until now, Itachi usually ate lunch alone in a quiet place. Until today
Gin walking towards Itachi with his bento in hand.
"Would you like to eat together, I know a good place to eat"
"Hmm...why not," Itachi said before picking up his bento and standing up from the desk.
The two of them walked to the door to get their food and exit the classroom door.
"Where do you usually eat, Itachi," Gin said
"I usually eat in a quiet place in the classroom or the garden"
"Alone?"
"...Mostly"
"Hmm, I thought you were pretty popular?"
"...Not really...it's just hard to find someone good to talk to," Itachi said after a moment's thought.
"Is that so? I can't say I have many friends either. I only have one childhood friend. I can introduce you to him later"
"You're the first person I can call a friend, Gin"
'At least in this world'
"Hmm, I don't know whether to be happy or sad about this situation," Gin said.
Itachi said while remembering his school memories so far. In general, all men would stay away from her. Only girls would come to talk to him.
"Where are we going next time?" Itachi said as he stared at the road they were on.
"Hehe to my secret place," Gin said with her usual smile.
"Secret place?" Itachi said while frowning.
They then kept walking until a voice stopped them as they walked down the hall.
"GINN!?"
As both Itachi and Gin looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a girl their height with long orange hair and blue eyes looking at the two of them, holding a bento box.
"Oh! Rangiku you're here too?" Gin said in a bit of surprise.
"Where are you going Gin?" Rangiku said while looking at the two of them
"We were going to lunch with Itachi," Gin said.
"Itachi?"
"Oh! I forgot to introduce you. Itachi this is my childhood friend Rangiku that I mentioned earlier" Gin said to introduce the two
Itachi evaluated the girl in front of him and said, "Uchiha Itachi, nice to meet you." he said leaning
"And this person is a friend I made today" Gin said while promoting Itachi
' Friend!? Did Gin call someone a friend?' Rangiku thought for a few seconds.
"Oh! I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Matsumoto Rangiku, nice to meet you" she bowed and introduced himself with a slightly flushed face.
"...Mmm can I come to eat with you too," she asked a little embarrassed
"It's fine with me, Itachi, will it be a problem for you if she comes with us? Gin asked Itachi
"It's okay for me too," Itachi said with his usual face.
"Okay then let's all go together," Gin said with a smile

"Is this the secret place?" Itachi said as he looked out over the city from the roof of the school.
"Of course, nobody usually comes here so this is the best place to eat at this school. There's even a view to see," Gin said as her smile grew larger.
"It's not exactly a secret place," Rangiku said while eating her lunch
Right now Itachi, Gin, and Rangiku were sitting in a triangle and eating on the roof of the school. After eating and getting to know each other better, they chatted until the class bell rang.
The three of them walked down the stairs to their classrooms. As Itachi walked, he noticed the girls' eyes on him and Gin's.
'Hmm, he looks pretty popular with girls too. Judging by his outward appearance, I would have thought they would be frightened." Itachi was grateful that he did not turn his gaze alone. unlike a person
'This horde of uglies where do they think they're looking' Rangiku thought differently
He then left the two of them to return to the Rangiku class. Itachi and Gin also went to their classrooms.

After the last class bell rang, Itachi packed his things in his bag and left the classroom to go home with Gin, who was waiting for him.
As the two of them walked silently down the hall, Itachi asked the question that had been on his mind today.
"Gin...why did you want to be friends with me?"
"I think we look alike" as if Gin had anticipated this question.
"We look alike? " Itachi asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, we're pretty much alike. You like to be alone, but you don't like silence and you don't like troublesome situations so you want to do what you want. So do I," Gin explained to Itachi.
"And..."
"And?"
"I thought I'd have fun hanging out with you," Gin said while looking at Itachi with her usual smile.
'To enjoy? With me?' Without saying a word, Itachi continued walking towards the exit of the school where someone was waiting for them.
"GIN! ITACHI! HERE!" Rangiku called them to where she was.
When Itachi walks with the two of them with thoughts in his mind
"to enjoy huh! Why not?" Itachi said out loud for both of them to hear.
Rangiku was confused as Gin's smile got bigger
"Gin, what is Itachi talking about?"
"Nothing, it'll just be fun," Gin said, but Rangiku was even more confused.
' What are these two talking about? Are they on their minds? " she said while looking at the two of them strangely
