The morning bell rang for the first day of Kokara High School. New freshman students chatted quietly in small groups by the front entrance steps.
All quite nervous about starting at a bigger school, but most were nervous about seeing the popularly rumored seniors. Not just one senior, but all of them were rumored popular in a way.
The school grounds were oddly quite except for the echoing rings from the bell and the mummers that escaped the younger students. A quick gasp came from a freshman girl and all was silent.
The gates that surround the school property creak open. All the students turn their heads toward the open gates as the seniors begin to walk through.
I sit on the highest branch in the school yard tree, watching my senior classmates walk through the gates.
The class president, Akira, leads at the front of the class line. He is followed by vice-president, Noah, and the club advisor, Maria.
Next through the gates is Lily, the leader of the senior girls volleyball club, followed by her prized team made up of the twins Mia and Mai, top athletes Kiwi and Kai, the opposite personality sisters, Nicole and Nicky, and Lily's cousin Lyra.
I yawn at the sight of the girly volleyball club and slump back against the trunk. But my interest perks up at the next group coming through.
A few seconds after the volleyball club is the senior boys basketball club with their leader in front of the line, mister popular with the ladies, Dean. Right behind him is the championship team made up of the best friend/enemies Rico and Oliver, Dean's best friend Joey, my idiotic twin brother Tony, and my childhood best friend Tobias.
I smile to myself, Tobias doesn't like that much attention and with this being the first day, privacy just won't happen.
Now where do I come in? Well I'm the odd ball out of the group. I'm not the most popular, or the best at sports but I do have my own thing. My name is Nina Wells but Tobias calls me Yuki for fun so I call him Rai.
Tony, Tobias and I are the oldest students in our class since we all have the same birthday. It's understandable since Tony and I are twins but Tobias…. I don't know how.
But anyway, I'm not sorted into any group and I don't have any special talents, or at least I don't think so.
My family consists of me, my twin brother Tony, 5 year old Aiden, and 7 year old Timmy and 10 year old Nate. Both my mom and dad died in a car wreck when Tony and I were 14.
Tony took it really hard but I had to brave my emotions out for the sake of my brothers. Even though I was young, I had to get a couple of jobs so I could raise my brothers and send all of us to school.
Things worked out really well cause Rai helped me out a lot. I don't know what I would do without him.
But lets see here, I'm about 5'9 with short hair that's practically white and dark chocolate colored eyes. Since money is low, I wear a boy's uniform so I can pass it down to my younger siblings later on.
