Hi everyone! This is a fanfiction for Another! I've been waiting to do this since it gives me an oppurtunity to write horror! My favourite! Okay enjoy everyone (and please leave reviews and criticism. I love oppurtunites to get better at writing).
"Hey (y/n)! Guess what? We have a new student coming tomorrow, and you and I are the welcoming party!" Your best friend Akazawa Izumi said to you after school yesterday. You sat at your desk with bored expression, earbuds plugged in and music blasting. You looked up at the clock. It read 7:00am. School started at 8:00am. You liked to get to school early. You were a first year student at Yomi North- (y/n) (l/n). Today a new student was joining your class, and you decided to get to school extra early to greet them with your friend. Izumi had promised she would meet you here at this time to make preparations to welcome the new student, but she was late. You sighed. Izumi was known to always be on time for everything, but it was also known she liked to make you wait for 7 minutes, just to see the priceless look on your face when she did. She was generally a very strict girl who always followed the rules and barely tolerated any messing around, but when it came to you, she felt very close to you and pulled all sorts of tricks.
"Sorry I'm late!" yelled Izumi with a mock apologetic look on her face. After seeing your expression, she smirked, confidently walked over to you, pulled up a chair and sat next to you. You pulled out your earphones and quickly converted your irritated face with a serious one. You were like this. Most of the time you were pretty laid back and fun to be with, but when it came down to work, you always turned super serious. You didn't socialize much with most of the girls and had your earphones in a lot, but you were really close with your few friends. "About time." You sighed.
For the next 40 minutes you talked about making a map of the school, getting the student a class list and schedule, and what you should inform them about. "Phew, okay that's it!" you slammed the table in relief and sat back in your chair. Just as you were about to put your earphones back in...the bell rang. You mumbled curses under your breath. "Let's go (y/n). We have to go meet the new student in the office to show him to the classroom. You slammed the table again, obviously not for the same reason, and set off with your friend.
Time skip~
"Yo! I'm Teshigawara Naoya and I'm gonna be in your class this year. Let's all get along!" the student flashed a thumbs up and a toothy grin. This was the new student? You thought as your eye twitched. His grammar was awful. You looked around. Some of the girls swooned, others scoffed while blushing; obviously trying to hide the fact they found him attractive. The teacher sweatdropped and quietly told him to sit. As he went to his seat, he waved at your class president Kazami Tomohiko. "Looks like we're in the same class again. Did you think you could get away from me, Kazami?" They knew each other? Kazami simply sighed and fixed his glassed, while catching some sunlight in his lenses in the process. The boy next to you waved. "Yo, what's your name?" you didn't bother to check where that new student was sitting, because frankly, you didn't care. Unlucky for you, he was seated right between you and Izumi. Damn...well I have to answer him. "I'm (y/n) (l/n). Nice to meet you Teshigawara-san." You said in a monotone voice. "Oh yeah, talk to me after class." You mentioned. "Oh?" he said in a suggestive tone. You mentally facepalmed. "Me and Izumi are in charge of showing you around the school, no more, no less." You explained. "Izumi is the girl on the other side of you. Izumi Akazawa." he looked a little turned off at your response, probably because he hoped for something a little different in your response. He slouched and turned around to see the girl on the other side of him. His eyes widened. "H-hi! I'm-" "I know who you are. I'm Izumi Akazawa. I'll be showing you around the school later. I'm sure you've heard?" she gestured to you and then glared at Teshigawara. He shrunk back in his seat. He was probably thinking something like Jeez, they're so cold. You smirked and whispered in his ear. "Don't worry she's not that bad." He stared wide eyed at you. You pulled back into your chair and turned your attention back to the teacher, while he quickly turned back to stare at Izumi.
"Class dismissed." The teacher said. Teshigawara turned to you and smiled. "Okay, now what?" You shook your head at how much he was relying on you. He didn't seem like he could do much on his own. "Now the rest of the class has lunch, but like I said earlier (in case you weren't listening)we're going to give you a review on the subjects and a tour of the school." "Cool!" he replied. You hoped you never got a boyfriend like him. So stupid. As the three of you walked out of the classroom, people around you started to stare. You heard some other girls say stuff like "Wow, he's cute" or "They're so lucky". Some girls even cried that they would never have a chance with competition like you and Izumi. Izumi was pretty, smart, strong and reliable. A lot of boys liked her but gave up since she was such a "tsundere". You were similar to Izumi. You were also top of the class, serious, tough, fairly athletic and strong-willed. You came off as cold in the beginning of the year, but you opened up to a few people. You were indifferent most of the time, although when you had your earphones in you were mean and grumpy. You had a feminine side to and were awkward at times though. You were a tomboy and not as pretty as Izumi- not that you were bad looking, you were pretty average. People liked your personality.
The three of you didn't take more than half of lunch explaining the basics about the school to him and showing him around. He never missed an opportunity to compliment Izumi on how good she is at remembering things or how nicely her hair flows in the air, and how nice they would look if she put them in pigtails (yes she doesn't wear pigtails yet). You two just brush it off. Later at lunch, you introduced Teshigawara to some of the other boys since you were friends with a lot of them, and then headed back to eat lunch with Izumi. "Gosh that guy's a wreck. But the rest of the girls seem completely infatuated with him. I just don't get it." You breathed. Izumi chuckled. "You don't?" What's that supposed to mean? You thought. You gave her a look. "What?" she asked innocently. "Nothing..." you muttered and sat down. "So what do you think of him?" she put her hands on either side of her face, elbows resting on the table, clearly interested. You rolled your eyes. "I think he'll get along with the guys. He's a joker and pretty athletic, seems like he'll turn out to be pretty popular, but he'll fall behind academically. Can't focus on anything." You shook your head. "Except for you apparently." You grinned mischievously. She slightly blushed. "W-what are you talking about?" you chuckled, put your earphones in and continued eating. "Excuse me?! (y/n) (l/n) don't you dare ignore me!" you faintly heard Izumi as she nudged you harshly. You laughed. "HEEY! (Y/N)! We're going outside now! Coming with?" you heard your group of guy friends shout across the cafeteria. You usually hung out with them during lunch since the girls just read and talked about gossip and stuff. "Yeah!" you ran over to them and took off your earphones. A beam of light caught your (h/c) hair and it shone as you jogged towards the boys. In your large group of friends, you noticed the boy Teshigawara had joined them. He was staring at you. You waved. He snapped out of his daze and smiled back. The other boys snickered. "Okay let's go. What are we playing today?" one of them said. "Oh! Let's play Hide the Flag!" the other boys replied with a thumbs up or "Awesome!" They started towards the yard. Teshigawara looked confused. "It's a game we made up." You turned to him. "I'll explain on the way. Oh by the way, should I call you by your first or last name?" "First." He answered quickly. Ok... you shook it off. "Alright then Naoya-kun. Let's go!" he grinned and you two ran to catch up with the other boys. You were heading towards an area of the field with lots of trees and benches, and it was near the bleachers at the baseball diamond.
"Okay so basically Hide the Flag is a mix between Hide and seek and Capture the Flag. So you split into two teams, and each one gets a designated area to call their 'territory'. On each team there is one or two seekers, one 'flag' and the rest are hiders. Most people in the team have a job to hide from the seeker on the opposing team. Their hiding spot may change, but must always stay within their team's territory. The flag must also hide among the hiders, but only gets caught if the seeker from the other team tags them. To win the seeker must either find all the hiders on the other team before theirs gets caught, or find and catch the flag. Understand?" Naoya looked like he was just trying to process what you just said. After a few moments he replied. "Yeah! So basically my job will be to hide from the other team or seek." You gave him a thumbs up. He relaxed his shoulders now knowing that you were actually a nice person. "So are we playing with one or two seekers?" Someone asked. "TWO!" everyone shouted in unison. They began choosing teams. You were on a team with Kazami, Naoya and a few other boys. You were the second seeker along with Naoya since he was pretty fast and you were stealthy. Kazami was the flag. Your team's strategy was to fake out the other team. Kazami would pose as a seeker, therefore hiding from the other team. You guys found a loophole. In the rules it states hiders must keep their spot in the territory, but it never says the same for a flag. To help the masquerade of Kazami being a seeker, he would call out to Naoya whenever he found a hider. Naoya would come over and see, so when he did so, it would count as him "seeking" that person. You were to hide in a tree in your territory, hoping you won't be found. Along the way, you will try to spot the other team's flag. You can tell who it is based on their behaviour. When you do, you must make a rustling noise to attract the seeker from the other hiders and then run. The seeker will try to catch you, but you have to run to the other side and call out to Kazami and Naoya. Naoya will then get the flag with your directions, while you protect Kazami. It was the perfect plan. And it was about to be put into action. The seekers had to go somewhere in their territory where the other team couldn't be seen. You hid in your tree and used the leaves to block, therefore following the rule. No one from the other team was supposed to look at their enemy. Not even hiders.
The horn went off and the game started. Kazami and Naoya immediately ran into the field. Naoya was grinning. He looked really excited. You could hear some whispers starting to eminate from the other team. They were a little intimidated with seekers like them. The two started to follow those noises. Kazami soon found someone and called out. The enemy's seeker looked back. He thought it was strange, but figured it was just a way to keep contact. You were in the tree. You could see everyone on the other team, but you were trying to piece together who was the flag. "Found you~!" you said in a singsong voice. There was one boy, hiding in the bleachers. He was looking around to see where the seeker was. That's natural for any hider, but this guy was also on his toes, ready to run. Any good hider would know to stay as still as possible. He was the flag. You made a rustling noise. Naoya looked back and grinned. Your team was about to win. The seekers turned around and quietly snuck towards the tree. You jumped off the branch and started dashing towards the other team. The seekers ran after you thinking you were the flag. "Naoya, the bleachers!" you shouted. The boy underneath the bleachers got up and ran. Naoya chased after him. While everyone's attention was focused on them. You took Kazami and hid in a bush. When the seekers looked back, they realized you were gone. Kazami accidently sneezed. They snapped their heads in your direction. "Kazami stay here. I'll divert their attention." You whispered. He nodded. You dashed out of the bushes and headed back towards your territory. The boys were not far behind. Unlucky for you, a hider from the other team heard your little interaction with Kazami. "Hey! She's not the flag. Kazami is!" Crap! You thought. As the other boys headed back in the direction of the bush, realizing the possibility you were a distraction, you tried another route to try and get to Kazami. You weren't fast enough. Just when it was about over- "Guys! I got him!" a voice called across the field. Naoya ran towards you guys carrying the boy that was the flag. "Naoya-kun! Put him down!" you scolded. He immediately obeyed and dropped the boy. He landed with a thud. You went over and patted Naoya on the back. "Good job! You saved us." You said, panting. He looked happy. "Really? Thanks!" you regained your composure and called out. "Everyone on my team. Ice cream after school at the usual place. My treat!" you heard cheers and whoops from the members on your team.
You went to the girls washroom to clean up. When you came out, Naoya was waiting for you. "Hey (y/n). You were awesome today!" he gave you a thumbs up and handed you a can of cold juice. You smiled at it. That was your favourite flavour. "What's this for?" you asked. "For being a great friend today! You introduced me to a bunch of people and you were really nice to me! So here!" you crouched above the floor and opened the can. He sat down next to you. "Thanks." You nudged him a little bit. Then Izumi came by. "What are you two doing here?" she glared at Naoya. He immediately blushed and looked for something to say. "Uh..N-nothing! It's not like we're...you know...I'm still single!" he announced nervously. She shook her head and walked away. You failed miserably at trying to hold in a laugh. "What?" He seemed embarrassed. You whispered in his ear. "Do you like Izumi?" he stiffened when you did so. You thought it was because of the question you asked, but in reality, it was because your breath tickled his ear. He wasn't fully aware of it himself, but he sort of liked it. "U-um yeah..." he stuttered. His face was beat red. So cute... you thought teasingly. You decided not to say it to him. "But she seems pretty cold. Is she like you? Does she only seem mean at first." He said in a hopeful voice. You chuckled. "Unfortunately no. She's nice to her very close friends, but isn't as friendly with others. Especially boys. She's usually very serious. Sometimes I'm like that but only when I work. I like to work fast and efficiently so I can have more free time later." He hung his head sadly. "Then I don't really have a chance do I? I'm pretty lazy and I don't do much work." He sighed. "I think I can probably help you with that. But I don't think you're her type anyways." He looked up at you with puppy eyes. He was really sad. "What? I said I would help you!" you defended. He stared at you for a moment, and then burst into laughter. "What?" you glared at him. He waved you off and started walking to class. "Nothing, nothing. Talk to you later (y/n)-chan!" he giggled. You shook your head. You knew he was an idiot, but you couldn't stop this blush covering your face.
