Ato Myou Uchini Yuukan. A life of sorrow

Rikku watched as Ritsuka skipped down the hall way. It was their first day of school and the shorter girl was all exited. Rikku had Ritsuka's backpack in one hand and her own over her shoulder. Once Ritsuka reached all the way to the end of the hall she skipped all the way back to where Rikku stood. "Come on Rikku. We don't want to be late for our first class. Stop standing there and move." The shorted girl started pushing the other one down the hall.

"We don't even have the same class together so why are you pushing me. You can go up ahead you know." Rikku let herself be pushed by her friend.

"Soooo. Our classes are still close to each other. We can walk together." Ritsuka kept pushing Rikku down the hall way to their classes. "And don't forget to wait for me when the bell rings. I don't know where my next class is and I don't want to get lost."

Rikku rolled her eyes. "Ritsuka your next class is right above you. My class is in a whole different section of the school. I can't wait for you. I have to find my other class and find a short cut if there is one." Once in front of the classes they stopped walking and turned to face each other.

"I don't want to walk alone. The halls are long and you know I get lost easily." Hands on her hips and a pout on her face. She looked up at the taller girl.

"You'll be fine." Rikku turned to face her Algebra class. "I'll see you after class and then at lunch. Bye." She waved her hand at Ritsuka and walked into the class.

In class, Rikku sat on one of the desks in the back of the class. She set her book bag on the floor and took out the books necessary for the class. Once the bell rang, Rikku sat on the chair that was attached to the desk. She watched as more kids entered the class right behind the teacher. Their heads low because they were late for the first day of school.

Rikku snickered at their stupidity. 'How can they be late to the first class of the day?' she asked herself.

The teacher, Mrs. Yomata, arranged us in alphabetical order. Rikku was in the center back of the class room. She didn't like this very much. She only liked sitting in the corner back, like where she was sitting before she was moved by the teacher.

Once everyone was done growing about the seats they have gotten Mrs. Yomata began to speak. "Okay class, sense this is the first day of school, I want you all to introduce yourselves." A smile was on the teachers face.

'There are too many kids in this class.' She thought to herself while laying her head on her arm and waited for her turn. 'I miss junior high.' Rikku sighed.

Rikku then heard a boy two seats away from her speak. "Troublesome." She turned to see how it was. A boy with a small ponytail and his head rested on his hand.

She then heard her name being called by the teacher. Rikku stood up to announce herself. "My name is Rikku Hasomiru. I like to read and write stories…and" Rikku put her hand on her chin and started to think of what she can tell the class. "I'm 14, I live alone. I don't have to many friends, and I liked junior high so much better." She then sat down in her seat.

The boy next to her stood up and one of the girls in the front squealed. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I'm 14, I live with my older brother and that's all you need to know." Once he was finished two more girls squealed and Rikku rolled her eyes.

'These girls are really stupid.' Rikku looked at Sasuke. 'He is good looking though. Good looking but not my type.' Rikku couldn't help but smirk at the thought of her going out with a dude like him. 'I'd go crazy with that attitude of his… Now that I think of it, maybe Ritsuka would go good with him. They do say opposites attracted.'

Once Sasuke was back in his seat another boy stood up and began to introduce himself. "The names Suigetsu, I'm 15, I live with my older brother too, and I love the water." Suigetsu put on a proud face when he said his last words. He sat down and looked at Rikku with a satisfied grin.

Rikku rolled her eyes once more and looked the other way. 'I can't believe this. I have to be in a school with a bunch of asses.'

Once the introductions were finished the teacher started to speak about what would happen though out the year. Rikku didn't think much about what the teacher was saying. The next thing she knew was that the bell had rung and the class was over.

Rikku quickly walked out of the room and stood in front of Ritsuka's class room door. Ritsuka came out with a smile on her face. "Well?" She asked while meeting her best friend in the congested halls.

"Well what?" Rikku started walking in the direction of her next class and Ritsuka followed right behind her.

"Don't be a retard Rikku. You know what I mean. How did your first class go?"

"Fine I guess. I hate how people piss me off so easily though."

"I have a feeling you didn't make to many friends, did you." Ritsuka huffed out.

"You know me way to well, don't you? How about you? Did such a cheerful and energetic girl like you make any new friends?"

Ritsuka signed then rolled her eyes, a smile was on her face the hole time. "Unlike you, I did make a new friend. His name is Naruto, and he's awesome. HE LOVES RAMEN!!" The shorter girl squealed and hopped up and down like a bunny. "He has six birth marks on his cheek. They look like whiskers. He's hyper just like me and I love his smile. It's so happy."

"Yo, Ritsuka." A blonde boy walked out of the classroom that Ritsuka departure from a while ago. "Were you waiting for me or something?" He asked as soon as he reached them.

"Not really. I was just telling my friend, Rikku, all about you." Ritsuka pointed towards Rikku who just waved and said a quiet hello to the blonde boy.

"Ritsuka, if I don't go now I will be late to my next class. I'll see you later all right." Rikku patted Ritsuka on the head then started to walk away.
