Hey guys ! This is my first fanfic ever! Since I have nothing to do this Christmas break, so I tried writing stories for a hobby. XD I'm sorry if there are grammatical errors, I don`t specialize in writing. TwT I write to express my feelings. So yeah! Enjoy. :)

I`ll accept flames and reviews =w=b

"Aichi! Wake up, Aichi!"

"Mhmm….give me 5 minutes more…it's summer break.."

"It's already 12 noon! Don't tell me you're gonna curl yourself in your bed for the whole day!"

I sighed with my eyes half-open. "Fine, fine!"

"Goodness, you'll never get a girlfriend if you keep this up!" A girl with a short light orange cut and a pair of blue eyes complained. Annoyed, I shrugged.

"Girlfriend? How would I even get one if people mistook me as a girl?"

The little girl paused. From the looks of it, she is thinking hard of what to answer back.

"T-they mistook you for one because you're cute-"

"Thank you for that compliment and please let's stop talking about it early in the morning." I sarcastically exclaimed as I get my towel from the hanger and head to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yes, people mistook me for a girl because of my deep blue eyes, shoulder-length hair and fragile figure. I've been enduring this treatment since childhood. By the way, I am Sendou Aichi, 15 years of age, enjoying the summer break of his 2nd year junior high. I would be on my 3rd year this school year.

"Aichi! Lunch is ready! Come down if you're done!" Mom announced.

"Okay." I replied.

Speaking of mom, she is the root of all of this. When Emi wasn't born yet, she desperately wanted to have a daughter. That's why I spent my childhood years wearing frilly dresses and lacy skirts. That very thought made me shiver inside the shower. Wait, why am I recollecting all of these?

I went out of the shower, wore my plain indigo T-shirt and a pair of black shorts. I won't go anywhere during summer breaks. Instead, I play video games to keep me preoccupied for the whole vacation. Mom always scolded me for having no goals in life but that's the life I've been living until now. I went down to the dining hall and ate my lunch with mom and Emi.

Silence lingered around the place. If someone would be talking, that would only be Emi and mom. I don't talk much.

"Emi, Aichi, did you know that we'll be having new neighbors later?" mom happily said.

"Really?" Emi joined in the bliss of mom's happiness.

"Yep! They even have a son. He is a year older than Aichi. Now, he won't spend his time in front of the TV!"

"I'm….not good in socializing with others." I truthfully said, interrupting the conversation. Painful memories started to flash in my head. Mom patted my shoulder.

"Aichi, it'll be alright. He will be a good practice for you." Mom assured me. I gave her a tiny smile.

After eating, I washed the plates while Emi cleaned the table. Mom headed to the backyard to do the laundry. As I was done with my task, I went upstairs to my room. I excitedly grab the new game that I bought before summer break started. Little did I know that my notebook fell along and it gave a loud thud. I was startled for a second and decided to pick it up. A card sled from the notebook. I stared at it; it was my Blaster Blade card. It was given to me by a boy few years ago. His face was blurry as I try to recall that scene, but this card itself gave me courage to stand tall and be firm from all those experiences. A genuine smile appeared on my lips when I remembered it. Suddenly, those memories were disturbed when I heard the doorbell rang.

"Coming!" Mom said as she was headed to the door. As expected, her voice is too loud she can be heard from upstairs. She's my mom, after all.

I heard loud footsteps towards my room. Emi suddenly barged in and grabbed my hand.

"Aichi! Let's sneak a peek of our new neighbors!" She winked while dragging my hand down to the first steps of the stairs. We duck down so that we won't be seen. Seriously, this feels awkward.

"Emi, wha—"she covered my mouth before I try to say something.

"Sshh. Here they are!" She whispered. Her eyes are filled with anticipation. I heaved a very deep sigh and decided to go with her flow.

I stared at the door intensely. We can't see their faces because they were having a quick talk with mom by the door. Finally, mom decided to let them in.

The first person to enter was a man with a light brown hair, dressed with a suit and wore a pair of glasses. I guess he is the husband. He walked with poise, which caused me to be amazed by a little bit.

The second person handed something to mom before entering. I bet that was a welcoming present. She had a silky black hair and a pair of emerald eyes. Gosh, she is really a beauty!

"Beautiful!" Emi exclaimed. Of course she bore in her mind that she should keep her volume down. I gave her a smile as a sign of my agreement.

As I affix my eyes to the door, I saw the third person entering. My eyes widened. He had a dark brown hair, styled to his left side. His eyes were closed, hands on his pocket as he entered our house.

"Did….I met him somewhere?" I unconsciously muttered. Emi turned to me and gave a puzzled look.

I`ll try to upload Chapter 2 ASAP. It's mostly self-talk but I`ll try to minimize it. ^^
