Chapter 1:

It was the first day of the senior semester. Summer is almost over and fall is about to start. You can feel the zephr when you walk through the campus. Classes has just been dismissed and students had come bursting out the school's front doors, talking to some friends about their plans.

" Tamahome, you get back here this instant!" A teacher yelled from behind as a tall dark haired boy came running out of the school doors with a smirk plastered on his face.

" Sorry old man, but I have plans to do today after school," the so-called Tamahome yelled back at the teacher, " I'll serve my detention some other day. I have other plans with some friends of mine!"

" Tamahome, I order you to get back here right now!"

Tamahome ignored the call and kept on running. A big troublemaker at school, he always gets in trouble because of teasing some other kids. It's practically him and some of his friends, but mostly it's him alright. At school, he's pretty popular. He was known as the 'king' at their school. A lot of girls likes him because of his good looks and his flirty smiles. He has a good sense of humour and there's hardly any students in the school that dislikes him. He also has this liking of making fun and teasing really quiet girls.

Tamahome is the fun and outgoing type. He loves to hang out with his friends and do different kinds of gigs. However, at school, he's the biggest troublemaker everyone has seen. He sometimes skips his classes, but still gets good grades on them. He talks back to some of his teachers or don't do homework but still complain about it, which results in detentions. He was brought up in a wealthy family so he feels confident that he's gonna get out at whatever kind of trouble he is in to.

He stopped running as he saw a group of cheerleaders passing by. He act all cool and winked at them which made all the girls swoon. They went over to him and said-

" Tamahome-kun, don't you have detention today?" asked the girl with the blonde hair in a flirty voice. She clung onto his arm in a flirty kind of way.

" Hey, you girls know that I don't like serving those stupid detentions."

" How about if you come with me to the movies today? The girls are going shopping and I'm not up to it right now. So, would you come?" she asked, pleading with sad puppy eyes at them.

" Sure, so come on. My treat.." Tamahome turned to the other girls who now have irritated expressions on their faces since their friend totally made up a big lie since they were all planning, since this morning, to go to her house and hang out.

" See ya girls tomorrow?" the girl who was clinging to Tamahome eyed the other girls which had a clear meaning of " leave us alone now'.

Everyone nodded their head and went off, mumbling something about the girl. Tamahome looked at the girl beside him and winked, " Let's go"

Unnoticable to the two, they were being watched by two girls from the benches from the football field. They both watched as the two go off, flirting with each other.

The two girls that were sitting on the benches shook their heads. The girl with the brown hair sighed in disgust, " I really, really don't like that guy."

The other girl had short blonde hair. She turned to her friend, " Miaka, at least you have to give him credit for his good looks."

Miaka turned to her friend with a look of 'I can't believe you just said that' type of thing. " Yui-chan, even though he looks good, I still can't think of liking him at least just a classmate. He's a big flirt, troublemaker, jerk, irritating, ignorant,-"

" Ok Miaka, I get it," Yui laughed.

" I also can't believe that those stupid cheerleader girls are falling in his charms," Miaka mimicked the scene, clinging to Yui's arms,

" How about if you go to the movies with me? Would you come? Blah blah blah."

Yui laughed and mimicked Tamahome, "Sure, my treat...blah blah blah."

Both girls burst out laughing. They practically played out the scene so well that they cracked themselves up. Miaka, with tears in her eyes from laughing, suddenly looked up to see a guy with long brown hair tied in a ponytail wearing football clothes holding his helmet on the right hand. It was her handsome boyfriend, who she's been going out with since last year, the popular football player at school, Hotohori.

" Hotohori!" Miaka smiled and ran up to him to give him a tight hug, which he also returned. They seemed to take forever to let go of each other so Yui coughed behind the two.

That seemed to snap the two back to reality. They let go of each other with blushes on their faces, while Yui just shook her head.

" You two seemed like you haven't seen each other for months," Yui smirked at the two. Hotohori standing right beside Miaka with his arms around her shoulders.

" It was just a hug Yui-chan," Miaka blushed.

" Yeah Yui, you should go and get a boyfriend, so you can experience having someone's warm hands around your shoulders," Hotohori suggested with a wink.

Yui rolled her eyes, " Don't start with me Hotohori."

Miaka giggled, Yui never had a boyfriend before and it seems as if she really doesn't want one. She doesn't like guys that much. She loves hanging out with them, but when it comes to the topic of getting boyfriends, she gets scared. She doesn't wanna get tied down, and she also doubts that she'll ever fall in love with anyone.

" Hey Miaka, how about you two go on and head home. It seems that we're going home late today, since coach wants us to be in shape before the game next Friday," Hotori mentioned.

Miaka pouted at that, " But you said we were going home together, with Yui."

" I know," Hotohori held her hand while Yui just raised her eyebrows at the two, " I'll just call you tonight okay?"

Miaka sighed then nodded her head. Hotohori smiled and hugged her tight one more time before heading back to the football field with a wave of goodbye to the two young girls.

" Let's go Miaka!" Yui called from behind. She was already gathering her belongings and heading off.

Miaka followed right behind her, hiding the disappoinment inside her. She ran up beside Yui and tried to smile, " He'll call me later anyways..."

Miaka strolled on the street with 2 gorcery bags on her hand. Her mom made her go to the store to buy ingredients for a meal that she was gonna prepare for tonight. Miaka at first didn't want to since she was waiting for a call from Hotohori, but her mom forced her to or else she'll be grounded for the rest of the week.

" Oh man, this things are really heavy." Miaka tried to regain to balance the heavy grocery bags on both sides to even out. Not looking where she's going she suddenly tripped, causing her to lose balance. She flailed her arms to keep herself from falling, releasing the two grocery bags in her hand. Her body was about to fall, she shut her eyes to wait for the impact of her butt to the floor, but instead she felt strong warm arms hold her, supporting her.

Miaka sighed, " Phew, I'm saved," Miaka looked up at her savior and was shocked to see who it was.

" You alright there?" Tamahome asked with a concerned look on his face. That question took a long time registering in Miaka's mind since here was the biggest troublemaker at school acting all concerned....for her!

" Hey, I said are you all right?" he asked one more time.

Miaka snapped out of her trance, she pushed herself away from him, smoothing her clothes. She picked up her grocery bags and turned to Tamahome.

" Umm, thank you." Miaka was about to leave when she heard Tamahome say something.

" You girls are so weak!"

Miaka turned around with her eyebrows raised, " Excuse me? I just happened to trip."

" Yeah, because you're so stupid!" Tamahome laughed at her which made Miaka's blood boil.

" Why you?!"

" Wait, you look familiar to me. Aren't you that little girl that's always clinging to Hotohori?"

As soon as the words 'little girl' was said, Miaka felt the desire to smack this guy in front of her. " I'm not a little girl! You arrogant jerk!"

Tamahome just smirked at her, " I don't have time for this shorty. See ya around!" Tamahome started to walk away from her.

" I HAVE A NAME! AND IT'S NOT SHORTY!!! JERK!!!" Miaka was furious, she wanted to beat the hell out of that guy but she managed to contain herself. She turned around and headed off, mumbling something about Tamahome under her breath.

Miaka didn't know that Tamahome really was concerned a while ago, but Tamahome kept it to himself.
