Chapter One:
Today started just like any other day. I woke up early, got ready for school, ate my breakfast, and then walked to school. Being such an ordinary day, I had not expected what would happen next.
Kouji Minamoto, the most popular bad-boy in school. He is sixteen years old with long, black hair which he keeps pulled back in a ponytail under a bandanna. He always wears a blue jacket over some dark colored T-Shirt with the same design across the chest, blue or black jeans, and black shoes. You couldn't tell by just looking at him, but he is one of the smartest students at our high school. He's also captain of the soccer team. Go figure, he's got the looks, brains, and athletic abilities. It's not wonder why all the girls fall head over heels for him, to only by rejected by a single, cold glance from the young male. And yet in knowing this, I cannot but help myself when I stare shyly at him.
Kouji is leaning against a concrete column near the entrance of the high school as I walk up the stairs. Unexpectedly, he pushes himself off his resting place and stands in my way. Holding several notebooks close to my chest, I shyly look up into his dark eyes with my own aqua-marine eyes. A faint blush appears across my pale face.
Anjanka Kimuro is my name, being shy is my game, I guess. With silky, long, brown hair and bright aqua-marine eyes along with a gawky teenage body, I am one of the shyest girls in my grade level. It's always so embarrassing when I trip over my two left feet and my books go flying out of my hands. It simply cannot be helped. Such clumsiness runs in my family.
As if by instinct, I take an unsure step backwards, away from the other. I begin to nervously chew on my bottom lip as he steps closer to me. As with such a "normal" day, the school yards are empty, what with it being so early and all. Unable to take another step back with fear of falling down the steps, I chew upon my bottom lip much harder.
"Anjanka," Kouji's beautiful voice begins, "Do you mind if I talk with you...privately?"
He looks back to his original resting place. For the first time, I notice his twin brother, Kouichi, is standing there. As if the last part of what his brother said was directed to him, Kouichi walks towards us and down the stairs. Kouji returns his lovely face back to me. My heart skips a beat. My mind races towards several questions. Why in the world would such a handsome guy like Kouji be talking to someone as...as....as plain like me? , I ask myself.
"Anjanka?" he calls to me.
I snap out of my wonderfully insane trance and reply, "Y-you can call me Anja...for short."
Kouji smiles his trademark crooked grin. My heart skips another beat. He takes my notebooks from my grasps and holds them in one hand while taking my wrist in his other. He leads me inside the high school and into a dark classroom.
"Anja," he begins, "There's something I should tell you."
I believe my heart has stopped beating.
