Prologue: Teacher's Pet and Arrogant Bastard

Yui Hongo sat down on her seat, along with her classmates. They had just greeted Yokoyama-sensei, their Science teacher. He was one of the newest members of the school faculty and looked very young and handsome. Yui thought he was an amazing guy. He had a soft voice and lovely hair too. She pulled out her compact mirror and checked her reflection. Her hair was neatly clipped in barettes. Over the summer, her hair grew long enough to tie in a pony-tail.

"Alright everybody, I'm going to hand out your test papers from last Monday." Yokoyama-sensei said as he distibuted their exams. "As usual, Miss Yui got the highest score. Why don't we all give her a big hand." he suggested. Everyone clapped their hands. Yui was the smartest in class. She was also beautiful and good in sports. Being the president of the Science and Theatre club, she had a very big responsibility. The person closest to her was her best friend, Miaka Yuki.

"I actually passed!" Miaka exclaimed as she showed Yui her test paper. It was already dismissal and the two best friends were walking along the path. The sat down on a bench to eat their snacks. In front was the soccer field where the school's team was practicing. Most of the people in the team were very handsome.

"It's thanks to you that I got an eighty-three Yui! That Saturday morning lesson was a great idea!" Miaka went on. Yui chuckled. She had strongly suggested Miaka to stay home during Saturdays to review all her notes. She stayed over the Yuki residence to tutor her best friend.

They started to eat their snack when suddenly, out of nowhere, a soccer ball appeared and knocked Miaka on the head. The girl dropped her obento in surprise and rubbed her head. Yui was comforting her when two guys appeared. They were Suzaku and Seiryuu, the captains of the soccer team.

"Gomen!" Suzako apologized as he knelt down to check on Miaka. "I'm really sorry. I didn't really mean for the ball to hit you." Miaka looked up and smiled softly. "No need to worry, I'm fine." she assured him. Suzaku grinned and took his soccer ball. "Say, why don't I make it up to you? How about you girls join us for a snack tomorrow afternoon. My treat." he offered. Miaka nodded. "That would be great!" she remarked.

"You should really be careful next time." Yui scolded as she got up to take her best friend to the clinic. Suzaku nodded but Seiryuu raised his eyebrow. "He already apologized. What more do you want? Do you want us to build a large, brick wall to cover up the field?" he asked, words dripping with sarcasm. Yui folded her arms. "I was just saying that he should be more careful!" she argued. Seiryuu smirked and made fun of her words.

While they were arguing, Suzaku offered to take Miaka to the clinic. "We'd better have the nurse look at the bump on your pretty head." he remarked. Miaka merely blushed as the captain of the soccer team led her away. Yui and Seiryuu didn't appear to notice as they were still fighting.

"Teacher's pet! Besides, you have a crush on Yokoyama-sensei!" Seiryuu said, smirking smugly. Yui was taken aback. No one knew of her crush besides Miaka and her best friend would never tell anyone. They made a promise. "Oh yeah? Well you're an arrogant bastard! You think everyone worships you or something! Do you really think of yourself as handsome!?" she screamed. The athlete grinned and nodded. "Of course!"

This was how everything started. From that day on, Yui and Seiryuu never saw eye to eye. However, Suzaku and Miaka grew close to each other and eventually became a couple. It all started with a soccer ball.
