Chapter 1: The New Comer

[A/N] It was autumn and it was only a few days 'til winter. C:

Kogure's POV *-*-* Why do I feel so down these days? Why do I feel so depressed? I feel as if something is missing from my life. I feel as if something is lacking from my essence. as if I'm incomplete. but why? *-*-*

I've been thinking about that for quite some time now. I feel like I'm gonna go crazy if I don't find out what's bothering me! I can't stand being in this state any longer. I wish. I wish.

*End of POV*

"PAK!"

Kogure stumbled forward as a strong slap hit his back. "Oi, Megane-kun! Are you okay? You looked like you were in another dimension or something. Oi, Megane-kun!!"

"Huh?... Oh, hi, Sakuragi. I was just." his reply was. "You scared the living hell outta me! What's up with you?" Kogure just sighed a depressed sigh which got the red-head suspicious. "Do you wanna talk about something?" Sakuragi said with a suspicious chibi look on his face. "No. I'm fine thanks. Sumimasen. (I'm sorry.) I didn't mean to get you worried or anything." Kogure replied trying to smile his casual smile. The said deputy-captain lied to his team mate. He knew very well that there was something bothering him. He just didn't want Sakuragi to get worried, thinking that he will blurt everything to the other basketball club members. "Okay, suit yourself but if you ever wanna talk you can always talk to the Genius!", Sakuragi boasted. "Sure. Thanks. *sighs*", came Kogure's reply as he followed Sakuragi into the classroom.

Kogure, Akagi, Rukawa, Mitsui, Ryota, Sakuragi, Ayako and Haruko were in the same class during Homeroom periods.

[A/N] They're in the same class because their principal decided, that since Homeroom classes were for all the year levels, that they'd be merged into one class. Now, back to the fic.! c:

As Kogure took his seat, he sighed and put his head in his hands in defeat. His team mates however noticed his strange behavior and began to discussing their friend's state. until their teacher came in.

"Now, class, let's start our new lesson." Kogure was only half listening. He just couldn't concentrate, being in his condition and all. "But first, let's welcome your new classmate." Kogure looked up from his hands and to the door. There he saw a girl about his age with long, brown hair until the shoulders, enter the room. She had green eyes, which to Kogure, shone like freshly cut emeralds.

[A/N] Can you imagine the girl enter the classroom in slow motion? Well that's just how Kogure saw her. Just so you could see things, or her rather in his own point of view. Please resume! C:

"Ohayo gozaimasu, minna-san! (Good morning, everyone!) My name is Yume Miranai, but you can just call me Yume.", the girl said in a shy voice and smiled her best, which sent Kogure head over heels. "I need a volunteer to show Yume around the school since she's new here." Kogure practically leapt at the chance to be with the new girl. He reluctantly raised his hand and said, "I would be happy to show her around." Yume turned around to see the person who so kindly offered to spend his time with her. She saw Kogure for the first time then. She too was attracted to him, not to mention because of his kind face. She blushed as a streak of pink stained her cheeks. The said teenager himself felt warmth as light red crossed his cheeks as she looked at him. "Well, that settles it then. Yume, you may take your seat." Yume picked the vacant seat that was beside Kogure's own.

Akagi, Mitsui, Sakuragi and the others' jaws dropped at the sight. Who would've thought of Kogure, the shiest guy in the team, make such a move? The two couldn't help but look at each other from time to time.

As class was about to end, Yume spoke, "I'm really looking forward to our get-together later, aren't you, Kogure-kun?" she said with a smile as he held the teenager's hand. "Yeah, me too." he replied holding Yume's hand tighter.

They walked out the door together still holding each other's hands. Kogure pondered over what has happened to him a few minutes ago. He realized that something in him was awakened. He felt like a different man. He felt his sadness; depression and doubts disappear as he held Yume's hand in his. There was only one explanation; only one reason.

. he was struck by Cupid's arrow. he was in love.
