Everything belongs to Level-5.
Kudou Fuyuka skipped to school. She was unusually excited for the day. Why, you ask? Because today was White Day!
Now, usually Fuyuka dreaded this holiday, due to two simple reasons. One, she would often be presented with tons of gifts from the boys in her school, hence making her struggle to carry them all home and find a place to store them. Two, she would also receive many love confessions. And being the kind girl she is, she would always try her best to refuse them without hurting the other person. And trust me, that is a very hard feat to carry out, especially annually.
I mean, c'mon, who doesn't like Fuyuka, with her pretty face and innocent and kind personality?
But this year is different, for many reasons. Firstly, it's her first time celebrating White Day at Raimon Junior High. After the FFI, her father had taken up the job offer to coach Raimon's soccer team, hence she transferred at the beginning of the year. Secondly, she knew she wouldn't suffer as much as she did during the last few years, as she overheard her father 'kindly' warn the boys in the school to stay away from his dear daughter. Thirdly, she had given a certain someone chocolates which she had poured her soul into on Valentine's Day. Fourthly, she was expecting some back, especially since he hadn't rejected her gift the month before. Finally, that certain someone was visiting Raimon along with his school thanks to some arrangements done by Kidou.
No, it wasn't Sakuma. As friendly as he is, Sakuma had long been suspected of being homosexual. Of course, that wasn't true, but no one was willing to taking the risk.
No, it wasn't Genda either. The charming goalkeeper may be kind and sweet, but who would want to date a boy infamous for breaking many hearts? No way.
Yep, you guessed it. Fuyuka was in love with the one and only, Fudou Akio!
"Happy White Day, everyone!" Fuyuka greeted the other members of the soccer team. Endou immediately ran up to his childhood friend.
"Happy White Day, Fuyuppe! And, thank you so much for helping me!"
"You're welcome, Mamoru! Now be ready. Natsumi-chan should be arriving soon!"
Endou gave her his signature grin and she smiled back before walking up to Aki and Haruna.
That's right, Fuyuka had helped Endou pick out chocolate for Raimon Natsumi. Hopefully she accepts it!
"Hi, Fuyuka!" Aki and Haruna greeted her.
"Hello, Aki-chan, Haruna-chan!"
Fuyuka couldn't help but notice how often Aki glanced at her phone while sighing. The purple-haired girl giggle. If Ichinose had read the email she sent him, Aki should be receiving a call in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
"Ring!" Aki's handphone started ringing and the green-haired girl practically pounced on it. After seeing the caller ID, a smile appeared on Ai's face while she picked up the call.
"Hi, Ichinose-kun!" Aki left the clubhouse to chat with her American friend-and-hopefully-soon-to-be-boyfriend in peace.
Fuyuka's smiled dropped off her face when she heard a melancholic sigh leave Haruna's mouth.
"Everyone's receiving stuff except me!" the blue-haired girl whined.
'Should I tell her about that…?' Fuyuka pondered. 'That', of course being the message every boy in Raimon had received, whether it was a mobile message, an email, a letter in the post or a note stuck to their locker, telling them to 'Stay the hell away from Haruna or I'll use everything in my power to end you'.
'Probably not,' Fuyuka decided. She didn't want to start a war between the two siblings. Although she did enjoy playing matchmaker!
Kazemaru ran into the classroom.
"Guys! Teikoku is here!"
Everyone in the clubhouse all stood and ran out excitedly, including Fuyuka.
There he was. He hadn't changed at all. He still had that mohawk hairstyle and smirk. Fuyuka's heart was pounding against her chest when his eyes met hers.
Endou and Kidou ushered them into the school. The clubhouse, of course, was too small to hold all the students, but Endou's classroom was. And so, the soccer teams of both schools were hanging out in the classroom, having a crazy party.
Fuyuka greeted Sakuma and Genda, asked about their wellbeing and families and ignored Genda's flirting before looking around for Fudou. She saw, just in time, him and Haruna leaving the classroom together. Kidou hadn't noticed, too caught up in chatting with his friends. Curious, she followed them.
The duo went down multiple hallways before finally stopping in one that was, miraculously, empty. Fuyuka hid behind the corner of the wall and peeked at them, although she was too far to see what they were saying.
Fudou and Haruna exchanged words for a while. Finally Fudou pulled something out from his pocket and handed it to Haruna.
In horror, Fuyuka saw that it was a small white box with a pink ribbon tied around it.
"So that's how it is…" Fuyuka mumbled to herself.
She turned and ran away blindly, tears streaming down her face.
First chapter done! How was it, Hachimitsu-san? I'll (hopefully) upload the second chapter tomorrow. I'm not sure whether it will be the finale or whether there will be a third chapter, though. I guess I'll see when I finish writing the second chapter!
Thanks for reading!
