"Hurry up [Name] or we are going to be late!"shouted Sakiko who was standing above my bed.
"5 more minutes…"I whined and pulled my bed sheets to cover my face.
"We ain't got 5 minutes! Now get out of bed! We are going to be late for the first day of school!" she scolded. I reached for my alarm clock to check the time. I read the time and ripped the bed sheets off me.
"Oh crap we are going to be late!" I cried out and rushed to get ready.
…..
"Hurry up or we are going to miss the opening ceremony!" Sakiko pointed out as we ran towards the gates. We finally reached the school grounds, barely on time; we headed straight for the gym.
"We made it!" I cheered out loud, gaining strange looks from the underclassmen.
"You should at least act like a senior. People are going to look up to you know." Sakiko scolded me again.
It's finally the last year of high school. I'm so excited I could just scream on the top of my lungs. I felt so jittery.
"Ew, gross." said a deep familiar voice behind me. I turned around and see a tall blonde boy, giving me a disgusted look.
"That's not nice Tak-kun." I crossed my arms. Hirukawa Takuto is his actual name. Tak-kun is a nickname that I gave but for some reason it annoys him. We have been friends since the second year of middle school. We always make fun of each other but get along really well to the point we even share lunches and sleep on each other's lap. What a strange relationship.
"Come on, let's take a seat you guys." Sakiko smiled at us and pushes us to a couple of empty seats. Sakiko and I have been friends since we were in diapers. She's out going, cheery, and a total girly girl; the opposite of me who is more into drawing till the break of dawn, but I love her to death.
Then the lights start to dim to show that the ceremony is about to start.
"Hello everyone and welcome to Satoshi Private High School. I am your principle…" said a tall old man in a gray suit with a silver tie holding a wooden cane. "This year is the start of your high school life or the very last…" he said but his speech is so boring and long, it's putting everyone to sleep
My excitement is going downhill fast.
"This is going to take forever." Takuto exaggerated. "Wake me up when this is over." He said, closing his eyes. Then he is soundly asleep.
"This is totally not fun." Sakiko muttered under her breath. Tell me about it.
"Now let me introduce you to our two new members of our staff." The principle said and shows the students two guys who were sitting behind him. One man was slender, wearing black suit with a red tie. He had brown eyes and hair. He comes up to the microphone to introduce himself.
"Hello, students, I am the new Physics teacher for third years, Kougami Yamato. I am looking forward to teaching you." He said, giving a very handsome smile. The next man was light blonde with blue eyes in a with lab coat. He didn't even speak into the microphone or near it and just gave a bow and went back to his seat. I couldn't help but giggle a bit. What a strange guy.
"That was our new nurse, Shibasaki Ren. Please be respect full to our new teachers." The principle smiled and continued his speech. As he talked about what this year was going to be like, can hear the girls whispering about the new teachers.
"Kougami-sensei is handsome isn't he?" one girl squealed in a whisper.
"I find Shibasaki-sensei more attractive." Another girl whispered.
"OMG they are totally gorgeous! Did you see them [Name]!" Sakiko whispers as she gripped my arm tightly. "Too bad I already have a boyfriend." Yeah, the college guy she's been seeing for three months.
"What, you seem like you want a 'forbidden' relationship?" I said using air quotes, mocking fun of her.
"That's like every girl's fantasy! Don't you have a fantasy like that?" she asked.
"I never gave it much thought really." I said frankly.
"That's so sad!" she cried loudly. "Oh, I can't believe you never think of those things!"
"I'm sorry?" I said, not really knowing of what to say.
"Is everything alright back there?" the principle asked.
"N-Nothing is wrong!" I spoke up immediately. I got up and bowed and quickly sat back down. I heard some giggles and snickers from all directions, especially from Takuto who was supposed to be asleep.
This is not good start to a first day.
…..
"No! Why is Sakiko in a different classroom!?" I cried, falling onto my knees.
"I know right! It's not going to be fun without you!" she cried with me as we hugged each other.
"You two get up from the ground! You're starting to make a scene!" Takuto shouted.
"Shut up Tak-kun, you don't understand my pain! I have to put up with you since we are in the same class!" I buried my face in Sakiko's shoulder.
"It's going to be fine! I'll be there in spirit!" said Sakiko as she pets my head. Then Takuto drags me by the collar way from her all the way to our classroom. He puts me in the seat in the second to last row of desks, next to the window. He sits behind me and puts his head down.
"You are my cover." He said as he closes his eyes again.
"Why me?" I asked but he doesn't answer me.
"Ooohhh Takky!" cried a familiar voice. I looked over and see a girl with a black pony tail and behind her were a pair of black-haired, identical twin girls.
"Erika and the rejected Olsen twins at four o'clock." I whispered in his ear. Hearing that, he quickly went down under his desk.
"Takky, what are you doing down there!? That's not how you greet your fellow classmates!" she smiled and tried to get him out from under his desk.
"Yeah fellow classmates!" the twins echoed. Then she looks over at me with a smirk on her face.
"…[Name]." she said, trying to sound like she likes me.
"Erika." I said, giving her a little wave. Erika is one of the most popular girls in school. She's on the top 50, ranking fourth place. She might be smart but she's annoying. She is obsessed with Takuto to the point where he has to hide himself just to avoid her. She hates my guts and I don't even know why.
Behind her is her 'poesy', twins Rina and Kana. They share one brain and say and do whatever Erika says. It's kind of sad but annoying as hell.
"I heard that you made a fool out of yourself at the ceremony this morning. Ain't that tragic!" she laughs loudly and twins followed. I gave them a sarcastic smile and rolled my eyes.
"Don't do it again. It will give you a bad reputation." She said smiling and sits down in a desk next to Takuto. Then suddenly someone gets up under her, knocking Erika to the ground.
"Hey, what is your problem!?" she shouted at the person standing above her. It was a tall guy with black hair and icy blue eyes. He glared at her and ran out of the classroom.
"Weirdo…" Erika mutters as she gets up. "Maybe next semester. Wait for me until then Takky!" she says and goes to the first row of desks.
"Poor guy, is he going to be alright?" I wondered. Takuto comes out from under the desk and shrugs.
"I don't know but he's my hero. I own him one." He said as he sat down. Then the school bell rings, alarming everyone that school was starting.
"Welcome everyone; I am your homeroom and Physics teacher for the year, Kougami-sensei." The teacher says as he walks into the classroom. He sets his stuff on the podium in the front of the class and looks around at the students. Then his eyes fall on me.
Damn, he probably recognizes me. Sakiko and I did seem rude during the ceremony. He gives a little glare as he looks at me.
"…So let's start by introducing ourselves." He said not looking away. "You girl, in the back, by the window, you do it first." He points at me. I looked around and found myself stared by everyone. I looked back at the teacher and pointed at myself. He nods and motions his hand to stand up. I pouted a little and reluctantly got up from my seat.
"My name is [Last name] [Name]. I like to draw, sing, and eat food." I said and sat down back in my seat.
"[Last name] [Name]…" he repeated under his breath. "Okay, let me call out names! After your name is called, introduce yourself"
Why did he even call on me if he was just going to do that anyway?
"Nanahoshi Sakuya!" Kougami-sensei called out but no one answers. I looked around to see if anyone was missing. My eyes landed on a desk next to Takuto that was empty.
'That guy who ran off's desk. Is that Sakuya-san?' I thought. Kougami-sensei calls out his name again but still no answer.
"I saw him run off to the nurse's office." One guy spoke up.
"Oh really? Can someone go to the nurse's office to confirm?" He narrows his eyes, thinking it's a lie.
"I'll go!" I raised my hand up high. The teacher looks at me with the same look but he nods.
"Then in the mean time… Erika will introduce herself." He said looking back and forth from the podium to the rest of the students. Erika gets up happily and began to talk about herself. I quickly got up and left the room.
I walked slowly to the nurse's office trying to take my time so I don't have to hear Erika's self-introduction, knowing that it will take a while. I enter the nurse's office and saw Shibasaki-sensei sleeping on one of the beds like a baby.
I came up to him and gently shook him.
"Shibasaki-sensei, wake up." I said softly. I looked at him a bit closer. He is a really handsome fellow.
Suddenly grabs my arm and pulls me down to his chest.
'Oh my god! What do I do!?' I panicked and squirmed in his embrace. Then I felt him push me away and sits right up.
"I'm sorry!" he said with a startled look on his face.
"I-its f-fine…" I said nervously and cleared my throat. "I…um…am looking for a Nanahoshi Sakuya. Did he come here?" I asked. Shibasaki-sensei points to the bed next to him without saying a word. I bowed and went towards the bed he pointed at. I pulled the curtains back and found Sakuya laying there, glaring at me.
"Yo, Nanahoshi-san, Kougami-sensei was wondering where you were." I told him. He kept glaring at me like I did something bad to him. He slowly gets up and leaves quickly like he was trying to get away.
'The hell is his problem?' I thought, relieving a loud sigh.
"Sorry to bother you Shibasaki-sensei." I apologized and bowed to him. He averts his eyes from me and went to his desk and started writing on some papers. I shrugged and went back to the classroom.
When I got back, Erika wasn't done with her introduction as figured. Kougami-sensei had his head propped up on his arm, trying to pay attention. Some students were asleep, a few were plugging their ears, Rina and Kana were totally absorbed in their friend's speech, and one guy was banging his head against the desk.
This is probably absolute torture for everyone.
I sat down at me desk and see the Sakuya was there covering his head. Suddenly I felt Takuto's hand gripping my arm. He gave me a glare with very dark auras surrounding him. I gave an awkward smile and turned my focused back to the front of the room. My eyes meet with Kougami-sensei's. I quickly turned my eyes away, trying to avoid his stares.
'Why is he looking at me!?' I wondered as the class continued with self introductions.
…
It was finally lunch and I was starving.
"You got any food today [Name]?" Takuto asked. I checked my bag and found out that there was nothing in my bag to eat.
"Nope! I left it at home!" I said laughing.
"Idiot! What am I suppose to eat? I'm broke!" Takuto shouted at me, angrily.
"It's not nice to shout at girls Takuto-san. Girls don't dig that." A low voice said behind me. I looked over my shoulder and see two boys behind me. One had light blonde hair, brown eyes, and a sly smile. The other had black hair and grey eyes.
"Shut up Miyabi!" Takuto shouted at the light blonde. Miyabi brushes it off and puts his arm around me.
"Why do you bother with a jerk like this? I am more suited and fun for you [Name]." Miyabi pulls my chin up towards him. "We can have so much fun together…" He slowly leans his head in. Then I head-butted him hard. He grabs his head in pain and squats down on the floor.
"Ugh pervert…" I muttered.
"That's a first…" he said in agony.
"Sorry [Name]-san." The other boy scratched his head awkwardly.
"It's okay Haruki-san." I smiled at him. Tanemura Haruki is the smartest and the nicest guy in the whole school. He's really popular with everyone especially with the girls. Too bad he's really oblivious to them. On the other hand, his best friend Miyabi is a playboy. He flirts with every girl he comes across constantly. He pisses me off the most.
"[Name]!" Sakiko called me out through the door. I abruptly left my seat and ran to Sakiko, almost tackling her to the ground.
"Sakiko, take me away from this hell!" I cried, clinging on to her like a monkey.
"Hey don't leave me with them!" Takuto shouts. "You, Sakuya, you're coming with us."
Sakuya stares at him with a puzzled look. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"Just come!" Takuto said, dragging Sakuya along with him.
….
"It's such a nice day out today!" Sakiko said happily as she ate her Inari sushi.
"I know right! I'm glad you made enough to feed all of us!" I slapped her back.
"Some reason I knew you were going to sleep in today and Takuto wouldn't even bother buying lunch but I didn't expect another person really." Sakiko awkwardly smiles at Sakuya who hasn't said a word the entire time. The only thing he said was thank you for sharing your food and that was all.
"Remind me why Takuto dragged him here?" Sakiko asked, looking questionably at Takuto.
"He was too shy to say 'thank you for sitting next to me so Erika doesn't and scaring her away,' so he dragged him to lunch as his thank you." I said. Then Takuto rubs both fists on both sides of my head.
"Idiot!" He shouted as he continues to rub his knuckles.
"Sorry for the ruckus Sakuya-san. Here have more rice balls!" Sakiko offered to him. He nods slowly and hesitantly grabs a rice ball. Suddenly screams from the halls were echoing in the courtyard. I turned to see what the fuss was about.
Two guys were walking in the hall, surrounded by girls. One guy had brown long hair and brown eyes, smirking as he walked with another boy who had olive hair with red-brownish eyes.
"Kyohei-san you are so cool!" one girl said to the brown-haired boy.
"Roberto-san is so nice!" another screamed.
"Who are they?" Takuto raised an eyebrow to the guys and looks at me but I shrugged not knowing who they are either.
"They introduced themselves this morning. Do you guys ever listen!?" Sakiko scolded us. "They are Rikudoh Kyohei, the famous singer/model and Prince Roberto Button of Altaria! They are going to study here for a year!" she explains.
"That is still drawing a blank." I scratched my head, trying to remember.
"Why do I even bother…" Sakiko sighs. "You're coming with me to get autographs!" she demanded and dragged me against my will. I reached my arms out, calling for help but Sakuya looks away and Takuto snickers as he watched.
"Rikudoh-san, Roberto-san, wait please!" she shouts on the top of her lungs. She gets ahead of them and makes them stop in front of us. "May I have an autograph please!" she said, bowing, extending her hands out that had a pen and notebook in them.
"Of course I will." Roberto smiles and takes the pen and notebook and writes. He passes it to Kyohei who does the same. He gives it back to her and then looks at me.
"Do you want an autograph too?" Yuzuki smiles at me. Wow he is handsome.
"Nah, no thanks, I'm good." I said. As I said that, everyone became silent and shocked at my respond.
"Are you serious [Last name]-senpai!?" one girl yelled at me.
"You reject an autograph from the one and only Rikudoh Kyohei and Roberto Button!?" another girl yelled at me.
"Wow, can everyone calm themselves. I'm not interested nor do I care. Besides, I don't even know them." I was getting irritated as all the girls were yelling at me.
"You should stop watching those learning cartoons with your siblings." Sakiko told me over the crowd.
"It's not my fault that my sisters' are 7 years-old!" I yelled at her. She rolls her eyes and drags me away from the screaming girls. When we can back, Takuto and Sakuya were holding in their laughter.
"Oh my god [Name] you're an idiot." Takuto tries to say, covering his mouth. Sakuya nods in agreement as he tries to not laugh. I glared at the both of them.
"Not funny!" I yelled at them. They both broke out laughing and started to roll on the ground.
"Well isn't it [Last name] [Name]." said a very deep voice behind me. I turned around and saw a man in a black suit and red tie with dark brown hair.
"Kamui-sensei…" I muttered under my breath. Kamui Kakeru-sensei is the scariest math teacher in the school. I had him when I was a freshman for math. That was a whole new level of hell. I can see why he is known as 'The Devil' among the students.
"I'm glad that I have you for your last year of high school [Last name]-san." He smirks evilly and walks away.
"Ha! You have 'The Devil' again!" Takuto laughs again. Then the bell rang, announcing that lunch is over.
Worst. Lunch. Ever.
…..
It was after school and Sakiko came into our classroom do discuss clubs.
"The tech club obviously." Takuto says bluntly as he packed his stuff. "How about you Sakuya?"
Wow on first name bases already. They became friends quick.
"Same." Sakuya answers with a surprised look on his face.
"I'm taking agriculture! Are you going to take art and choir again this year [Name]?" said Sakiko.
"Well it's my last year so yeah!" I said smiling. I love to drawing and I find choir fun. Even though I'm leaning to become a manga artist, I like to sing.
We said good-bye to each other and left to go to the club rooms.
…..
I went to choir first since they always run out of room fast. I quickly signed up for it on the list that was outside the room.
"Well looks like someone is back again this year." Erika's voice echoed behind me. I sighed and turned around to face her and the twins. "Thinking about getting a solo this year?"
"Solo?" I tilted my head confused.
"Amano-sensei said that all third years are getting at least one or two solos before they leave." Erika smirks. "But I don't think you have the talent to get even a little minor part." He laughs and her minions joined her.
"Wow, I care so much right now!" I said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and entered the room, going straight towards the tall blonde man in the back of the room.
"Amano-sensei, I'm here again!" I said to him with a big smile on my face. Amano Haruhito-sensei is my favorite teacher ever! He's a bit of a weirdo and total airhead but the dude knows his music especially on the piano.
"[Last name]-san welcome back! You're doing this club this year again." He smiles brightly at me. We talked about how it's my last year. "Well I'm happy that you're going to this again!" he pats my shoulder. I told him I have to go and told him goodbye. Then I was stopped by Kyohei on the way out.
"Oh it's the girl who didn't want my autograph." He said, having a mischievous grin. He grabs my chin pulls my head up to his face. "You have guts to deny me. You're very interesting."
"You shouldn't do that Kyohei!" a bright voice said next to him. Roberto was standing there, watching us with a grin. "It's rude to a lady." He said and pushes him away. He grabs my hand and kisses the back of it. "My, you are beautiful…" he said, leading me to tell me his name.
"[Last name] [Name]…" I told him.
"It's beautiful." He kisses my hand again.
"And both of you are creeping my out." I said, trying to sound cool even though I trying to hide my embarrassment. They took it and gaped at me like nobody has ever told them that before, not noticing my burning cheeks.
"Are you guys done blocking the door?" Amano-sensei's voice said behind me in a deep voice. He kind of looked like he was staring daggers at them but I wasn't sure. The two boys took a big step away from the door, looking a bit scared.
"You better go sign up for the art club before its full." He quickly changes his demeanor as he looked at me. I nodded, said my goodbyes and went to the art room.
…..
When I got there I noticed a guy with orange hair that I recognized standing at the front door.
"Ota-senpai!" I called out. The guy turns around and waves.
"Koro!" he smiles. Kisaki Ota-senpai graduated two years ago. We were in the art club together. He was really talented and got a scholarship to a top art university. Koro is a nickname he gave me. He said it's because I reminded him of a dog he used to have or something.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I was in the area and thought I should visit!" We talked a bit as I signed up. He apparently he was getting recognized already as an artist. He also gave me a few tips for college too.
I looked at the clock and saw it was past 4:30.
"I got to go pick up my sisters so I'll see you later Ota-senpai!" I said and left the building.
…..
I ran to the elementary school to pick up my fraternal twin sisters Ami and Yoko. As I got closer I saw Haruki standing at the gates.
"Haruki-san, what are you doing here?" I went up to him.
"Oh [Name]-san, I'm picking up my sister Sae. What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm here for my sisters." I smiled. For some reason he blushes and turns away. I had a confused look on my face until I heard Yoko calling my name. As I looked over to the school building entrance, I see three girls running towards us.
"[Name]-nii this is our new friend Sae-chan!" Ami introduced a girl with black pig tails in a cute white shirt and a red skirt.
"It's nice to meet you Sae-chan!" I greeted to her but she runs towards Haruki and hides behind him.
"Sorry she's shy." He scratches his head, looking apologetic.
"It's fine!" I brushed it off. "I hope our sisters can be good friends." I tried to cheer him up. It seemed to have worked as his face became red with a little smile. I grabbed my sisters' hands, said good-bye and left for home.
….
When I got home, I took care of my sisters as my parents were working late again. It was hours of helping them with their homework, dinner watching TV, and going choirs. After taking care of everything, I forced my sisters to bed. I went to my room afterwards to relax.
"Today was a really long day." I complained out loud. I collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.
4 Weeks Later…
Only four weeks in and I'm already having a bad year.
Kougmani-sensei has given me the nickname Pouty because I pout all the time, mostly because of my grades. Kamui-sensei is giving me a hard time because I'm bad a math and makes fun of me for it. Miyabi-san is flirting with me even more than usual, making me uncomfortable.
But in all everything is fine. Sakuya is actually talking with us now. He and Takuto are getting along like brothers. He isn't all protective of himself when it comes to Sakiko and I. He seemed more relaxed but if other girls touch him, he runs to the nurse's office. I follow him there and help give him medicine. Sometimes I sneak in some healthy drink with come caffeine in it for Shibasaki-sensei to help him stay awake. I leave a note too so he knows it's from me.
The art club was on Tuesdays and Thursdays while choir was on the other days. Ota-senpai texts me all the time and gives me tips on my drawings. Amano-sensei has made choir fun this year again and also giving me tips about my range.
I'm starting to get to know Kyohei-san and Roberto who is also in the choir, as classmates but they are still flirtatious with me so I have to yell at them most of the time to not do that. My sisters' have made a new friend. And Erika still hates me so not everything is down in flames.
Then one day after the art club was over, I opened my locker and found a letter addressed to me. I looked around to see if anyone nearby but nobody was. I opened it and saw that there was one sentence on it.
I cannot hold my feeling for you anymore. Please meet me behind the gym after school.
Oh man, school was over a long time ago. Man, club really does take some time. Good thing my sisters are athletes so I don't have worry about picking them up till later. I hope whoever-it-is, is still there I grabbed my stuff and went to the back of the gym to see who wanted to meet me.
When I got there, I saw….
So who is it? You decide who you want first! The one mostly wanted will get to be first!
