Chapter one: The first Day
"September first" thought Suo, still half asleep from this morning. It was the first day of the school year, and it was a special day for her. Today marked her first day of high school. She yawned loudly as she walked along the side walk. It wasn't a long trip to the bus stop, but it still felt like it was taking forever. Normally she would be excited, now she only had a few more years to go until she was done with school, however, getting up an hour earlier from middle school wasn't one of the things she was looking forward too. "oh well' she said out loud, "nothing can be perfect I guess" she said with a long drawn out voice.
"YIN! Where are you?" yelled Hei. It was the first day of school and she was nowhere in the house. "I'm right here… Hei" said Yin. Hei turned around. In front of him stood a small thin Scandinavian girl with silver hair and scarlet eyes. "What do you think?" she asked as she showed him her new dress. "I think it looks great" he said. She was wearing a black and purple dress with a ribbon in her hair. Yin was a junior in high school, Hei was a senior. Yins parents had died when she was little, so she lived alone for most of her life. She had met Hei during her freshman year during history class, well technically anyways, it was one of those days she was fond of remembering.
As they walked to school Hei thought about the day he had met Yin. It was in history class, or maybe algebra he thought to himself. "No, defiantly history" he said under his breath. School wasn't something he paid much attention too, all the teachers seemed to do was drabble on and on about the same thing every year. A new school year just meant more talk and more information, half of which hed prolly never even need in his life. "Anyways" he thought to himself. It was in history he first saw Yin. While most of the girls were always talking about… whatever they were talking about (kiko always had some new anime she wanted to discuss), yin sat alone in the back of the classroom and hardly ever said a word. Hei heard rumors about her parents, so he just dismissed her demeanor as depression. They would exchange looks every now and then, but never said anything to each other.
As Hei and Yin continued to walk, he thought about how much fun school had been since meeting her. She might not have been the life of the party, but somehow she became a part of his life, and now he couldn't picture it without her.
The bell rang. 7:30 exactly, time for the first class. Suo started walking down the hall and up the stair case. "Why's my first class gotta be biology?" she said out loud. She never had a thing for science, that seemed more her brother and fathers thing. She would rather be in photography right now, but the way they worked her schedule that was her last class of the day. "At least I have something to look forward too" she thought. She was the first one there, and class went pretty normal. The teacher went over what they were going to learn this year, what not to do in the lab, yada yada. The next class, math, pretty much went the same. After that was Gym. She played volleyball with a few other girls, and even managed to win a few games despite most of them being older than her. When it was her turn to serve she accidently hit the ball too hard and sent it spinning across the court. "Watch out!" she yelled, but it was too late. She watched as the ball hit some poor student square in the face. "Omigosh im so sorry!" she cried as she rushed over. When she saw who it was she became even more panicked. An older boy, about 18, with black hair and blue eyes was looking up at her. "Don't worry, im fine" he said in a kind voice, and before he said anything he got up and walked away. "That was Hei in case you were wondering" said a voice. Suo turned around. "Hi, Im amber" said the girl in a sweet voice. "I saw you playing volleyball, your pretty good". Suo wasn't paying attention though; she was still stuck on who she had hit. She didn't know who hei was, but she knew one thing because of that. "Great" she said to amber, not even fully realizing she was in front of her. "The first cute guy I talk to and its cause I knocked him straight in his face". "Who Hei?" said amber, "yea he's a pretty good guy, don't worry about it though, he's not the type to get angry for something like that". Suo hoped so. She doubted she would have ever seen him again, but still, this wasn't how she wanted to start off high school.
The bell rang and it was in between classes. Yin was waiting for Hei near the lunchroom. "What.. happened?" she asked. "Got hit in the face with a ball" he said with a smile. They started walking towards the studio. Yins next class was musical art, where she learned how to play the piano, though she mostly just played it. She had been playing since she was little and was already better than the teacher before she even came to this school. She didn't mind however, to her, it was a chance to compose some new pieces and relax in the middle of the day. Her best work often came when she was thinking about Hei.
She often wondered about them. They had known each other for almost 2 years. She didn't have many other friends, and of them she always would rather be with him. She played with the idea of them being together a few times, but he never seemed to show any interest in her, at least not in that way. Still, she was glad she had him in her life, even if it wasn't how she wanted. "See you after class?" Hei asked right outside the studio. "Yea", she said with a weak smile. She wasn't very good at those.
As Hei walked away and to his next class, he continued thinking about how he met Yin. History class was just as boring as every other class hed been in. He had even started skipping it a few times, the teacher hardly even noticed him not being there. One day after school he saw the quiet girl walking on the opposite side of the street he was on. He didn't think anything of it until he saw two men following her. They might just be going the same way she was, he thought to himself. However, his gut didn't say the same thing, so he followed them staying outta sight. After about a half hour, he saw them cornering her against a wall. They were smiling at her, while trying to get her to follow them somewhere. She refused. "Aww, why not?" said one of the men with a smile, as he rubbed his hand against her cheek. She looked down and away, she didn't look scared, she didn't look anything, but Hei knew she didn't want to be around them. "Hey guys" he said as he stepped out. "I think you should leave her alone". "Or what?" said the one who touched her cheek.
A few hours later the moon was out, and Hei was at home. He had a few cuts and bruises, and a gash on his forehead, nothing compared to what those guys had though. He knew he gave one of them a concussion, and the other would have a broken rib, he knew because he felt the crunch where he made contact. After the fight the girl didn't say anything, she just looked at him and ran away without saying anything. Weird, he thought. He stayed up all night thinking about her, and then thinking about why he was thinking about her, and eventually fell asleep thinking about her. The next morning she was waiting for him on the way to school. He stopped about 6 feet from her and spent the next few minutes just staring at her, her staring back. "I'm Yin… thank you" she said. "For what?" he said, he wasn't too good with manners at the time. "For yesterday… thank you". "Oh, you're welcome… I'm Hei" he said. She stared at him for a few seconds "Hei" she said. They walked to school together that day, and every day after.
Hei, now fully aware of his surroundings, stood outside his last class for the day. It was true he cared a lot for her, but he had never thought about her in a romantic way. At least, it used to be that way. He wasn't sure anymore, if he did care for her or if he had just gotten that used to her. After class he met her outside the studio. "How was class?" "It went well" she replied in a slightly lighter tone. She seemed in a better mood whenever she just finished with her music, even if just a little. He started walking and she followed, on top of going to school they also left together. In a few moments they'd both be home.
That night Hei stared at his desk as he finished his homework. He thought about how his first day of his last year went. How hed walked to school with Yin, gotten hit with a ball going through the Gym, about everything that day. All in all it was a typical day. He hoped this year would go by quick, after it he could say goodbye to school. He didn't have a plan for after, at least not a clear one, but that was for later. Right now all that mattered was he got to sleep.
