It had been a very long day for everybody at Shouchikubai Technology School… And it was only lunch break. One particular teenage boy was starting to get bored, very bored indeed; he'd only gone to that school to do art (which was a passion of his) but he'd ended up doing a lot of other things that he just didn't want to, which apparently were included in his lesson plan whether he liked it or not... 'It was part of the school system.'
Flicking a bit of jet-black hair from his amber eyes, the teen stared down angrily at his timetable and huffed. He often wondered what the point of having an hour-long lunch break was – Why not just make it twenty minutes and get the day over with quicker? Scanning the page in front of him, Rei growled quietly. Two hours of IT ahead of him… 'How fun,' he mused sarcastically; – he was not one of those who particularly liked computers and they didn't really seem to like him either. Everyone else would always just be getting on with their work and making their screens do 'clever' things while he tended to just sit there and doodle on a piece of paper under the desk.
The irritating shrill ringing of the lesson bell sounded throughout the school grounds and Rei clambered to his feet. He had been sitting under a tree in the sun, thinking. He enjoyed doing things like that, sometimes he'd write poetry or lyrics too, but mostly he just sat and thought to himself. Everyone called him a loner but he didn't care – he wasn't a loner anyway, he had tons of friends outside of school; there were only a few of people worth talking to in that place anyway and even they were pretty annoying. He only had one real friend at 'Shouchikubai Shithole' (as he liked to call it) and that was a loud-mouthed boy with a lot of hidden depth that only came out when the two were outside of school. This boy was called Tyson.
Tyson was a very popular guy and was friends with practically everyone and nobody ever had a bad thing to say about him… Unless they were calling him stupid, but he did tend to bring that on himself. He always acted like nothing mattered when he was at school and just had a laugh – though always got scarily high grades showing that was a great deal more intelligent than he made himself out to be – But when he wasn't at school and it was just him and Rei, the young teen was quite different. The two of them would often sit and talk about the world and about life and make up lots of 'what would happen if' scenarios… Tyson was one of those where the phrase never judge a book by it's cover really showed it's meaning.
Rei stretched and began making his way toward the large tatty automatic doors of his school, very slowly. He just could not be bothered with IT. It was a bore and he'd never use it in the future anyway, so really… What was the point? He trudged up the two flights of stairs toward the study centre, purposefully dragging his feet and sighing at every opportunity, until Tyson poked him in the back and told him to shut up in his most playful manner. The two of them walked into the room together and took seats at adjacent computers, logging on… Or trying to.
"Damn thing won't work." Rei hissed quietly to his navy-haired friend next to him who replied with a smirk.
"You're hopeless Rei." He muttered in return, signing into the system for his 'useless' companion before going back to his own work, until the jet-haired teen needed his assistance once more.
"What do we have to do?"
"You really should start listening in these lessons you know… Look, just open that… Yeah, that's right… Then write up an account on this…" Tyson kept pointing to the screen and producing things from seemingly nowhere as Rei got more and more confused. After everything had been explained, the amber-eyed boy tried to do what he had been shown, but – as usual – gave up and pulled out his notebook, beginning to write.
I don't understand how to work this machine
It's starting to annoy me
Oh notebook what do I do
To see the unseen
Of this damn machine!
Rei giggled to himself at his stupid poem, then started to draw a tiger. As he was doing so, a little box appeared on his computer screen : One new mail. 'Huh?' The teen clicked the box and another one opened straight after… It was some kind of webpage.
Welcome KonR672, you have one new mail from HiwatariK898.
'… Kai is sending me e-mails?' Rei was perplexed – Kai was the leader of a gang at the school, the kind of gang that everyone avoided and tried to stay on the right side of at all costs… Otherwise they might just kill you. He glanced around the room once to scan for teachers before opening the mail, dreading the message it would contain. However, the teen was shocked at what this e-mail did contain…
Message : KonR672
Naughty, naughty Rei… Not doing your work?
Pushing his red bandana up a little further as his long black hair kept falling in his eyes, the Chinese boy looked around the room once more before clicking the 'reply' button at the top of the page. He found that his palms were sweating – Why was he nervous? It was just an e-mail!
Message : HiwatariK898
I am doing my work.
He clicked the 'send' button, then went back to his doodle. 'The cheek of it!' He thought to himself. 'Just because he thinks he owns the school he thinks he can be horrible to anyone he feels like.. What does he know about my work anyway?'
KonR672, you have one new mail.
'Kami… Why can't he just leave me alone?' Rei clicked the box.
Message : KonR672
Don't lie to me, I know you're not doing your work – I can see you. What are you drawing?
'Reply'….
Message : HiwatariK898
It's a tiger. How can you see me? Where are you?
'Send'…
Message : KonR672
Look to your left.
'Huh?' Rei slowly turned his head slightly to the left and saw a pair of harsh crimson eyes watching him from the far side of the room. He turned his head back to the screen, heart beating a little faster. Was Kai's gang after him next? Was he their next target..?
'Reply'…
Message : HiwatariK898
Why are you watching me?
'Send'…
"Rei Kon!" The sound of the teacher's voice behind him made him jump. He flicked his head round and immediately knew he was in trouble by the look on her face. His page was blank when it should have been full of words and diagrams, he had a webpage up on the screen and what was worse, he could see Kai smirking from across the room – watching the IT tutor's expression anger even more as a little message box popped up in the corner of the amber-eyed teen's screen…
KonR672, you have one new mail.
