Hey! I don't own Rosario + Vampire… sadly! This story is based off of my friends and me! It's from my point of view, but we're using Japanese names! Last name comes first when you introduce yourself! Enjoy ;)
I fidgeted in my new skirt for about the one hundredth time in the last hour. The bus driver shot me a look that sent shivers up my spine. Why couldn't the school dress code be jeans instead of skirts? I mean seriously, what tomboy in their right mind would be caught dead in a SKIRT?! The new school that my parents were sending me to was already on my most hated list.
I looked down at my knee high socks, plaid skirt, and pressed white shirt, and sent a silent plea that I would die before anyone I know saw me. When I was done, the bus jerked to a sudden stop. I looked up as the doors opened with a whoosh of released air. "This is your stop." The driver smiled menacingly at me, once again sending chills up and down my back.
"Sheesh… don't have to be so mean." I mumbled to myself as I gathered my stuff. Call me grumpy, sleep deprived, hungry, or just plain mad, but no matter what, I still was not in the mood to be nice. I stepped off and turned around to stick my tongue out at the freaky bus guy, but he had already pulled away. That's when I got a good look at the school. It was… HEAVEN!!
The entire atmosphere just oozed monster paradise! The blackened trees that led to an old style school building, the darkness enveloping the boarding houses, even the amazing sign that I stood next to! My mood shot to the top immediately. "Well, here goes nothing." And with that, I grabbed my bags and started down the path.
Half way down the dirt road, I noticed this weird crunching noise. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I looked around for a minute before continuing on my way. "Wait, wait for me!" I turned around and was bulldozed by a boy that was way too tall. "Ow, get your boney but off of me!" the boy mumbled an apology and promptly got off of my stomach.
He was tall, like really tall, and had red hair that would put a fire truck to shame. His arms were entirely covered in freckles and he was dusting off a pair of black rimmed glasses. How's that for observing people, huh, huh? "Hi my name's Daisuke Tarou, and you are?" the boy held his hand out, as if coaxing a response.
"Name's Yuzuki Shizuka, nice to meet you, I guess." I rubbed my bum for a second, trying to brush the dirt away. He laughed and bent down to grab his bag. "You're new here, right? I don't want to be the only other one." We walked and exchanged the usual banter that most new people go through. By the time we came to the building, I think that we discussed the weather almost five different times.
"I'll see you after orientation." And Tarou turned around with one final wave and a big smile. I smiled back and made my way towards the dorms so I could drop my stuff off before the new student orientation. This school might not be so bad, I thought to myself, my smile widening a bit.
"Ugh, that was the longest orientation ever in the history of orientations!" Tarou and I were on our way to our homerooms. "So who do you have?" he tried to get a look at my schedule, but I quickly covered it. "Um, Hoshiko Sensei, I think. How about you, who do you have?" His smile faded as he looked down at his own slip of paper.
"I have Naomi Sensei… guess we'll be parting ways for now, so see you in lunch!" I nodded as I entered into the classroom on my left.
"Welcome, come and take a seat! Please hurry, we must get started!" I wanted to cover my ears when the high squeak of my teacher's voice met my ear drums. This is going to be a long semester, I groaned in my head. I took my seat near the back and fazed the teacher out until I didn't hear her at all. I took a look around at all of my classmates.
"Hey there!" I yelped in surprise and furtively glanced at the teacher to make sure she hadn't heard. She was still going on about the rules and stuff, so I turned back to the loud girl in front of me. "What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack?!" I whisper yelled at her. "No, silly, I just wanted to welcome you to Yokai Academy!" she pushed her glasses up her nose a bit. Man, why are all the people I meet wearing glasses?
"My name's Hikari Natsuko and you must be…" she glanced down at my slip "Yuzuki Shizuka! That's a nice name!" Her eyes glinted red for a second. "Uh… did your eyes just…" I looked around warily. "Oh yeah, sorry, I'm not very good at keeping my human disguise."
She smiled at me, her cheeks turning pink. I knew exactly what she meant. Here at Yokai, we have to keep our human forms, or else face detention or worse. I personally found it dumb, but they think it helps promote peace between our kind and the human race.
Natsuko kept her eyes on me while I gazed up front, making sure the teacher wasn't watching. Then the door suddenly opened, and in stepped the hottest guy in the history of guys. "Oh, Hello Aono Haruto, welcome to the class!" Yoshiro Sensei squeaked loudly. Haruto just nodded and took the empty seat beside me. Oh my gosh, the hottest guy in class just sat in front of me! I stared at him, my eyes drinking in the sight of him.
His hair was jet black, his eyes were the darkest color of green, and he was muscular, well, from what I could tell by the way the shirt stretched over his biceps. "Um, what are you staring at?" the voice startled me from my reverie, and I looked into the very eyes that I had been admiring just a second ago. Except that now, in place of the relaxed, serious expression that had graced Haruto's face, there was a deep blush and a puzzled look.
"Oh-Oh n-nothing, I was just looking out the window… um, you know." I blushed and looked down at my text book that had just been handed to me. Oh great, I have just made myself look like a total idiot in front of Aono San! My blush deepened when I noticed Natsuko looking from me to him. Now all I got to do is last the rest of the year with him next to me… I'm not going to make it!
I walked down the path way that led to the boarding houses, carrying a bag full of newly handed out texts and work books. So far, I had met to people that seemed friendly enough and one hotty who probably thought that I was a stalker. Yeah, high school pretty much rocked right now.
I reached the girls dorm and trudged up the stairs to my room, luckily a single, and dumped all of my stuff on the desk by the window.
I turned up the I-pod that I had brought, quickly finding the song This is Home, and trying hard to not sing along. There was one thing that I needed to do at the moment, and I had to concentrate to accomplish it.
Dear Mom,
Hey there! I'm at the school and it's amazing! It's everything that you said it would be, and more. They have gotten new uniforms since you went; now you don't have to wear that heavy green jacket. The skirt is still getting on my nerves though and all the guys keep trying to be perverts and sneak a peek! I've made two new friends and they both have glasses. Gosh, I hope I don't end up in the nerd club! They are named Daisuke Tarou and Hikari Natsuko. Tarou is total ginger and when I first saw Natsuko, I thought she'd be one of those ghetto blacks, but she's really nice! Hey do you know anyone with the last name Aono? There's this kid in school that is a complete and utter hotty, and his name is Aono Haruto. I think he thinks that I am a stalker because he caught me staring at him during class.
Lots of love,
Shizuka!
Sorry that it's not that long, but I thought that I would post it now and see what kind of response I get! As you can tell, it's set after Tsukune and everyone. And yes, you will find out the type of monster that Shizuka is; there are a few obscure clues in this chapter! Read Report and Tell a Friend!!
