Up Until Then; Little by Little
Chapter 1: From the Beginning
April 11, Wednesday
Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Darach Naver. I'm a high-school student in Yagami High (currently situated near Tokyo). I'm in class 2-C and I'm 17 years old and I live in an apartment block by myself. Today is the day that I shall confront my fears and ask out the girl of my dreams, for the past year I've tried to tell her my feelings but every time I try to tell her I choke on the spot, but it's the start of the 2nd semester; I got a good feeling about this semester and I must not let myself be in doubt, I shall finally confess my love to her. Now, let's start the day:
I woke up and I immediately checked my clock and realized that it was 7:00 a.m., I was late for school. I instantly got out of bed and changed to my school clothes. I ran outside my apartment and made a sprint to the bus stop. I was just about to make the next bus to Yagami High until this girl bumped into me and knocks me straight down the floor.
"Are you ok?" the girl asked as she pulled me back up. I looked at the girl closely and I realized that she was the new girl in my class. She had brown eyes and has jet black hair. "Wait aren't we in the same class?" She asked. "Yeah, you're the new girl aren't you? I asked. "Yes…I…am…., my name's Karen Atsinkau" She said nervously. "My name's Darach Naver, I'd love to stay and chat with you but I got a bus to catch, I don't wanna be late again" I said walking away. "Wait! Can I go with you the bus, it's…my first time….taking he bus…to school" Karen said nervously. I was suspicious and really concern on why this girl is so nervous but I putted that aside and headed toward my real goal. To confess my love to Miyuki.
Oh yeah, I nearly forgotten to tell you guys who the girl of the dreams is; her name is Miyuki Amaya, she is one of the cutest girls in my class and her only flaw is that she is not that intelligent. I tried to tell her what I feel about her last year a lot of times but sadly it ends with me choking and her not getting the point.
Me and Karen went to the bus; it took about 14 minutes for the bus to get to Yagami High. I stepped outside the bus, I went to my classroom and I walked towards my group of friends, there was Paul Wamisen, Paul works at a sushi shop and lives in an apartment building in Tokyo; there was also Takeo Matsusaki, Takeo works at a pizza place in Tokyo and lives and trains in a karate dojo and there was Genitisou Ariwa, Genitisou is one of the most athletic people in our class, he works in a coffee shop and he lives in a 4-star hotel near a hostess club.
"Hey guys, have you seen Miyuki?" I asked my group. "I think I saw her talking to that new girl" Takeo said while eating cereal. "Hey Takeo, why are you eating cereal in class?" Paul asked. "Well, it's a long story; you see when I woke up…" Takeo trailed on telling us his story on why he brought cereal to school.
I slowly walked away from the group and I looked around the hallways for Miyuki, I swear I saw her just at the end of the hallway, I ran towards there happily and just like that I got knocked down on the ground again.
