Two Years Ago

"Hey...I bet you wouldn't be able to hook up with that..." The tall boy grinned as he pointed at a tiny brunette with violet colored eyes.
The silver haired boy's eyes glinted in the sun.
"Puri."
"6000 yen."
"...piyo..."
"Oi, Niou...are you seriously...?" The redhead boy whispered.
The Brazilian boy placed an arm on his partner's shoulder.
The redhead looked at him.
The dark skinned boy shook his head.
The redhead frowned.
Both boys along with their senpai watched the trickster make his way over to the oblivious girl.
They watched the boy pluck a green leaf out of the girl's hair. The girl who looked very cute from the distance blushed before she smiled at the silver haired boy. They looked as Niou raised his hand and caressed her cheek while the girl slowly shifted herself away from him out of embarrassment. Niou grinned before he held out his hand to her.
"Niou Masaharu," The trickster drawled out with a Cheshire grin.
The innocent girl smiled shyly at him as she reached out her own hand.
"Sakurai Aika."
The two smiled at each other as a gentle breeze blew over them, making the trees sway back and forth.
"Not bad," Niou's senpai remarked with an arched eyebrow as he watched Niou lead the girl away while making a peace sign with his hand behind his back to signal to his friends that he was going in for it.

A Few Months Later

"D-Don't..."
The tiny brunette twisted and turned her body in an attempt to get out from under the silver haired boy.
"I'll be gentle," The boy whispered as he rubbed soothing circles on the girl's back.
"..."
The girl stopped struggling and looked at him in the eyes. The two stared at each other in silence...
"...ah, it hurts!"
Tears slipped from the brunette's closed violet eyes as her hands were clutched together over her bare chest as her light brown hair was fanned out under her. Against the stark white satin sheets, her hair stood out darkly while her extremely light skin glistened in the dimly lit room.
"Sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you..."
Aika's tearful violet eyes opened and gazed at the boy's sincere eyes.
She couldn't recall how this happened...She knew this wasn't right...right? Her mother always told her to save herself for marriage...What if...what if...she got...
Her thoughts drifted away as the boy above her began to plow softly into her body.

Aika looked at the red ink stain on her locker with a look akin to horror on her face.
In bright red ink, the word "whore" was written in capital letters across her locker.
Her legs trembled for a few minutes before they gave out and she fell to the ground.
Her classmates rushed to her side.
"Sakurai-san! Are you okay?"
"Aika-chan! Aika-chan!"
"You okay?"
Aika wept as she shook her head repeatedly.
How could this happen? It was supposed to be a secret...wasn't it?

Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" Terumi Miwa answered her cell phone as she placed her book onto her desk in her plain room.
"Miwa-chan?" A soft voice whispered on the other line.
Miwa froze as she heard the other person speak.
o-o-o-o-o
The brown haired girl looked at her feet as the silver haired boy shuffled over to her.
"What is it?"
"..."
He sighed as a hand massaged his scalp.
"Look...if you don't have anything to say...I gotta go to practice..."
She moved and tugged his yellow jersey.
"Niou-kun...I-I..."
"Haru-kun!" A loud and obnoxious voice called out.
Both looked at the girl who approached. She had dark blue eye shadow on her eyelids, pink cheeks, and bright red lips. To some, she looked attractive with all that makeup...to others (like Sasa), she looked like a clown with all of that makeup on her face.
The new girl sneered at Aika before tugging Niou to her side.
"Let's go."
She smirked at the heartbroken Aika before tugging Niou away with her.
Her smirk widened when she realized Niou did not look back either.

"Is this really you, Aika-chan?" Miwa shouted in the phone.
"Yes," Aika said as she smiled. She could imagine Miwa jumping up and down right about now.
"It's been two years!" Miwa said as she plopped down onto her bed, making a loud thumping sound.
"Mmh..."
"So...how's it been?"
"I-I...I'm moving back to Tokyo next week..."
Miwa's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"YAY!"
o-o-o-o-o
"Mama...I-I..."
"Aika...a-are you..."
The brunette slowly nodded as her mother shook her head left and right in horror.
"No...no..." She fell to the floor.
Aika rushed over to her mother who started to cry.
"How can my baby be having a baby?!"
o-o-o-o-o
"Miwa-chan, thank you..."
"Thank you for what?"
Aika smiled.
"For being my friend."
"Mmh."
"You know...I am leaving Kanagawa tomorrow..."
"Eh? Why? Is it because..."
Aika smiled sadly as she nodded.
"Where are you going?"
Aika stood up.
She turned back to look at Miwa.
"Osaka."

"How's school?" Miwa asked Aika. She knew that her best friend had to take some time off school two years ago. Besides, school was an important topic to them. It was like shopping.
"Mm...it's been good...I studied a lot so I was able to remain in my original age group, so don't worry Miwa-chan...I am going to graduate from middle school this year," Aika said to her friend while chuckling.
"Yay! So which school will you be attending?"
"Mum said that she would like to put me in Seishun Academy since it's closer to our new house."
"Aww...too bad we can't go to the same school..." Miwa whined.
"It's okay...we can still hang out..."
"True! True! Plus I can get my cousin Tomoka to show you around...she's a first year..."
"Okay! Thanks Miwa-chan!"
"You're welcome!"
"See you soon!"
The two girls hung up on each other.
"AIKA! WE'RE HOME!"
The brunette jumped up and ran down the stairs.
"Hi, mum," The 14 year old greeted her mum.
Her mum hugged her and kissed her cheek.
"Look who's excited to see you..."
Aika's mother, Chiaki, moved to the side.
Aika's eyes lit up as she saw the tiny brown haired girl with curly locks and sparkling blue eyes.
"Haruka!"
The toddler grinned before jumping at her mother.
"Mama! I miss you a lot!"
Aika pat her baby's back as she kissed her daughter's forehead.
"I missed you, too, Haru..."
Good/Bad place to start?
I imagine Niou as a playboy who likes to toy with girls' feelings...yet I always wondered how was he before he turned into a man whore...Before he became a player, he must have been a good guy once...or twice, I would like to think haha...let's see how this plays out.
