Hey guys! New story idea :D Just so you know it`s kind of manga-style :3
"Class, this is our new student Claire." Class 1-A`s homeroom teacher said.
"Umm... Hi, I`m Claire.. Nice to meet you," She said shyly. All the guys in the class were gawking. She has long, silky, golden blonde hair, Sapphire-blue eyes, a nice figure and a pretty face. Most of all, she didn`t look slutish in the slightest bit. You know highschool, sluts are everywhere.
"Claire, why don`t you take the seat over by Gray-kun." The teacher said pointing to the back seat by the window. She nodded and walked over. The girls in the class eyeballed her with envy. Not only was she pretty but she gets to sit by one of the hottest guys in school?
Gray`s POV
"Let`s start class everyone," Lilia sensei said.
I took out my textbook. Then someone tapped my shoulder. Great, the new girl is already trying to hit on me...
"Umm... Gray-senpai? Can I see your book for one minute?"
That`s all? Maybe this girl isn`t that bad.. Wait senpai? I had a puzzled look on my face then nodded.
"One minute. Clock starts now." I replied. She nodded.
What is she doing? Why is she just flipping through the pages? 1...2...3...4... Is she just trying to find the page? What the hell. 47...48...49...50 Oh well, her problem not mine. ...58...59-
"Thanks..." She handed me the book.
"Yeah.."
I looked over at.. what`s her name? Oh yeah, Claire. She was staring at her desk doing nothing. I just ignored it. I kept reading along in my head with the teacher.
"Claire, could you read the next paragraph?" Sensei asked. Did sensei forget she doesn`t have a book?
I was about to ask her if she wanted to borrow my book but before I could she was already reciting the paragraph word for word. She wasn`t reading it and I know it because her eyes were closed.
"Very good Claire, you can sit down now. Next I want Kai to read."
When did she read that! No way! Did she memorize it when I gave her the book? That`s impossible!
The teacher gave us a worksheet at the end of class before the bell rang. I looked over at the girl again. I have so many questions I wanted to ask. Why am I so hung up on this girl?
"Eep!" I turned around and some guys were hitting on her and she dropped all of her paperwork from last week that she missed. "Umm, no thanks... I don`t really want to go anywhere after school." She told them.
"Come on just go with us," He insisted.
"No." She said. Then the guy grabbed her by the arm. "Hey, stop!" She shouted. I could see her eyes start to fill up with tears so I decided to help. I grabbed the guys arm.
Claire`s POV
"Leave her alone." He said. The other guys ran off shouting 'sorry'.
"Are you okay?" Gray asked me.
"Yeah.. Thanks senpai," I replied. I started picking up the papers that were scattered all over the floor, Gray helped me.
"Here," He handed me the papers.
"Sorry..."
Gray`s POV
"Sorry?" what is she sorry for?
"I`m a cluts and you had to stand up for me... sorry..."
"You shouldn`t be sorry. It`s not your fault the guys around here are jerks." I said.
She smiled. "Thanks senpai,"
"Why are you calling me senpai? Aren`t we the same age?" I asked questionably.
"Actually... I skipped a grade... I`m a year younger than you." She said shyly.
"Oh... hey do you want to get lunch?"
"Sure," She smiled.
Why am I so interested in this girl? I`m not that interested in looks I know that... Anyway lunch...
"I`ll get the udon with a water." Me and Claire said in unision. We looked at each other and started laughing.
"Hahahaha! Don`t copy me Gray-senpai!" She stuck her tongue out.
"No way, you`re copying me!" I said in a matter-of-fact tone.
We laughed and walked over to a table outside. It was empty out there and it was nice weather. I asked her questions and she asked me some. But the question I wanted to ask most was
"How did you read the paragraph during 1st period?"
"Hm?" She had a mouth full of noodles. I laughed.
"You didn`t have a book. How did you know the paragraph that sensei was talking about?"
"Oh.. that..." She looked down and then back at me. Her eyes were filled with sadness and despair... question was, why?
"Claire?"
"It`s kind of why I moved up a grade. I have a photographic memory..."
"So you memorized everything during that minute that you had the book?"
"Yeah... you think it`s weird don`t you? I understand... It`s okay though, I`m used to it..."
Weird? More like cool. Why does she look so sad? What does she mean by IT?
"Wait, what? I think it`s cool and what do you mean by IT?"
"You don`t think it`s weird?"
"Were you even listening when I was talking to you? No I don`t think it`s weird. One more thing, don`t use 'senpai' just call me Gray. It sounds weird.." She nodded and giggled.
"Okay, well time for class Gray-chan!"
Chan? -sigh- that`s not too bad I guess.
END POV
Gray and Claire had fun the rest of the school day. Through out the day, they chatted about everything. The entire school saw them as a couple. Of course, in that situation, Gray would get mad at the person who said such things and Claire would just laugh. At the end of the school day, Claire had nothing to do so she asked Gray
"What do you do after school is over?"
"I`m the captain of the soccer team so I go to practice every day." He replied nonchalantly.
"Ehh?.. You play soccer? Moreover, the captain? Hahahaha!" She couldn`t hold in her laughter.
"What do you mean?" He said in a rather angry tone.
"You don`t look like the type" She stuck her tongue out.
"Well I am. Do you want to watch?" He asked cooly.
"Sure, I`ve got nothing better to do!" She said in a sing-song voice.
"Don`t you need to call your parents?" He asked questionably.
She remained silent.
"Claire?" He was worried. 'What kind of past did she have anyway? Why is she always upset?' he thought to himself.
"I..." was all she could manage to say. Tears were about to form and Gray knew this so he said
"Nevermind, you don`t have to tell me. Yet." He smiled and messed up her hair. She gave a quick nod and went along with him to the soccer field.
When they arrived, the bleachers were filled with blood-crazed Gray fans. Claire gave him a look that said -please, please, PLEASE don`t make me go in there-. He already knew what she ment. Those girls saw Claire show up with him and they were shooting deadly glares at her as if they were daggers. He shrugged and took her over to the soccer team`s bench to sit on.
"Hey new girl! Or should I say Gray`s new girlfriend?" A boy with a purple bandana said to Claire. Gray shot him a glare. Kai replied to his glare with a laugh.
"Umm.. who are you?" Claire asked innocently.
'This girl hasn`t already fallen for me? Time to work the rest of the charm I guess.' Kai thought to himself. Yes, Kai is indeed an ego-maniac. "I`m Kai," He said while taking her hand and kissing it. 'That should work' He thought to himself with an inward grin.
"Could you let go of my hand?" Claire asked with no sign of emotion.
'Wait, this girl isn`t caught by my pheromones? This is interesting.' Kai thought to himself. (Kai, could you get anymore egoistic? -sigh-) He let go of her hand and said "I`m in your class, 1-A. I sit at the table to the right of Gray."
"Oh.. I see. So you`re on the soccer team too?" Claire asked with again no emotion.
"Yup! Today we`re having a scrimmage so cheer for me `kay?" Kai said happily.
"Hmm... We`ll see about that." Claire said seductively then sticking her tongue out at the boy. Seeing the priceless expression on his face, she laughed and walked over to Gray to see what was going on.
"What`s wrong Gray?" Claire asked sweetly due to her most recent (and funny) encounter with Kai.
"We`re one player short for our scrimmage because Cliff is sick. We might have to cancel it, damn." Gray replied rather angrily.
"If you want, I could play..." Claire said.
"What? You? But your a gir-"
"Finish that sentence and I will kill you. That`s so sexist! So what if I`m a girl? I bet I could beat most of the guys on this team!" She responded cooly.
"Really?"
"Really."
"How much do you want to bet?" Gray said with a smirk.
"Whoever loses the bet pays for lunch tomorrow and a drink after the game." Claire replied with no hesitation.
"Deal." Gray smirked again. 'There`s no way a small girl like Claire could beat one guy on this team. I don`t know what she`s thinking.' He said to himself. 'Well at least I get free lunch.'
Claire went to the locker room and changed (Gray guarded the door to make sure people like *cough cough* Kai *cough cough* wouldn`t peek on her.). She came out dressed looking as small and petite as usual.
"Try not to get hurt." Gray told her with a smirk.
"You stole my line." Claire returned with another smirk.
Claire is definitely innocent. Innocent and competetively evil.
"What position am I in?" She asked.
"So you know positions..." Gray asked rather questionably.
"Of course I do! Now tell me what I am." Claire demanded.
"Geez, chill tiger. Let`s see, Cliff plays left forward. So I guess that`s your spot."
"Perfect." She whispered evily. A wide grin making it`s way to her face. Gray felt a sudden chill and shivered. Seeing this Claire mentally laughed.
So what do you guys think? Should I continue this story or not? I`m not sure how I`m doing with manga style fanfics so please review and tell me what you think! In the next chapter Claire and Gray decide who wins their bet. heheheheh -evil laugh-
