Amu's POV.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE—
-HIT-
I groaned as I looked up. Stupid alarm clock.
I don't want to start school again with that thing I put up with this ridiculous hair.
It's annoying really, to have naturally oddly colored hair and eyes. My shoulder length hair was pink and my eyes were yellow, weird right? I have that thing called 'cool and spicy' as a facade to just keep everyone away.
And you know what package I made to do to keep that look?
A dorky package I made.
It's a cute one really and I like it.
And to accompany me in this package is my step-sister, Hinamori Fei. She had blackish brown hair with pink highlights. She had two kinds of face towards people: a friendly one and a scary one. Maybe it had something to with being a gemini.
We've been together for ten years, or at least that's how long I've counted it.
We're both sophomore at Seiyo Academy, a school for the, ehem, should I say, rich kids.
We are, in fact, blessed to have such wealth since papa was a famous photographer and mama was an editor at a international company that publishes magazines.
My phone was vibrating. I checked the caller I.D. and it was Fei.
"Hell-"
"AMU, ARE YOU NOT GOING TO SCHOOL?!" She yelled.
"Stop yelling! My ears are bleeding," I told her.
"IT IS?!" she hung-up.
My door burst open, and Fei barges in checking my ear.
"Ow!"
"I thought it was bleeding," she wondered aloud.
"It was a hyperbole Fei, a hyperbole," I told her with the 'are-you-kidding-me' look
"It was?!"
"It was," I said seriously this time, "and why are you all dressed up?"
"School. First day. Sophomore. School," she said giving me the same look I gave her earlier.
Oh right.
I quickly took a shower and changed to some decent looking clothes before topping it with the actual clothes I will be wearing to school which consisted of a baggy pair of trousers with matching shirt. I looked at myself in the mirror. The reason to why we wear these, as Fei calls them, 'rags' in school is because we sometimes have sudden decisions to buy stuff; and besides, we only wear it inside school, so I think we're fine.
Honestly, I think I'm adopted because of this hair.
I took a wig cap and stuffed my hair in it and placed a black bob wig over it. I may look ridiculous, but I feel comfortable with this.
And last but not least, the pair of thick rimmed glasses Fei and I bought together, except hers had grades.
"Alrigh—"
"ARE YOU DO—oh well, looks like you're done. Let's go!" Fei suddenly barges in and grabs drags me out of the room.
"O-oi! My things, I have to get it!" I exclaimed, trying to get my wrist off her grip.
"It's downstairs already!"
"B-bu–"
"Snuck in and took your stuff last night," she quickly said with a sheepish smile on her face.
The both of us quickly ate breakfast and made our way to the garage.
"All right, Amu, we've got to leave an impression that we're not rich, but scholars so, I suggest that we use this beautiful Lamborghini and say that it was donated to us by—"
"Are you serious?" I asked in a bored tone. 'Cool and spicy' act initiated.
"Yes," she answered, seriously determined.
She was serious, so I leveled her determination. "No."
"Are you serious?" Fei quickly whined, letting go of the determined look.
"Yes, no get in the Altis," I told her sternly.
From the corner of my eye, I saw her making a face and sticking her tongue out at me.
I sighed. Nothing we can do about an irritated Hinamori Fei.
"Here, have a lollipo—"
"Holy shiz is that orange flavor? Gimme," Fei said, swiftly snatching the orange lollipop for my hand. "Damn, earlier if you would've told me that you had lollipop, I could've gotten in the car already with no arguments made. I thought you loved me."
"Sometimes we think that people love us, but they actually don't."
"Did you just go sentimental at me? Also, did you just imply that you don't love me?" Fei asked in a dramatic way.
"Did I?" I questioned.
"You indirectly did, how could you?!"
I laughed at her dramatic expressions. Fei will be Fei and nothing will change that.
When we reach school, I parked the car at the back of the school since we didn't like people knowing we were able to 'afford' a car.
"Oi Amu, we're in the same class again," Fei called out.
"It also looks like we don't have much that much people in class," she said, pointing at the list. "We have around...one, two, three...25 people at most? Why though?"
I shrugged my shoulder in response and started walking.
"And music happens everyday?!"
That caught my attention. Are they serious? Since when did we start having that subject everyday?
Fei pointed a banner that was posted on the board that had a cliche line: MUSIC IS LIFE. followed by: MUSIC EVERYDAY WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY.
No, it will not make everyone happy. I am living proof that people are not always happy from it.
After seeing what we needed to know, we went to the classroom and left our stuff, and while ignoring everyone else, Fei and I were headed to the vending machine when all of a sudden, girls started running and screaming.
"O-oi, are we going to die? Is there an earthquake?" Fei frantically asked.
"I don't think there is o-"
"MOVE IT!" a bunch of girls screamed as they ran past us.
"Holy shiz, they could've killed me!" Fei remarked. "What the hell is happening?"
"Hmph! It's only natural for those rock dwellers not to know who's here!" One of the girls who were running replied.
"Tch, how stupid can you get?" one of them said.
Fei glared at their backs as they ran while we continued walking in the hallway. And as we were walking we saw a crowd of girls were hoarded together.
How do they even endure that? Don't they feel hot or something?
All of a sudden, they split like the Red Sea and out walks five boys from the middle of everything.
"Neh Fei, who are those?" I asked Fei.
"Hmm, I don't know, but I think those guys are the Black Lynx. Heard from the showbiz news that they were going to study after their tour," she replies, gulping down half of her drink. "Oh look they have weird hair like yours too, well, except that they're guys. AND A BUNCH OF PLAYERS THA—"
"Shh! Do you really want them overhearing that?!" I whisper yelled at her.
"Oh, right. Low profile, need to remember that again this year." Fei made a peace sign with her fingers and I just rolled my eyes.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was two minutes before class started.
Two minutes? Two minutes! It took almost five minutes to get to our class from here!
"Oi, we better start walking or else we'll be late," I told Fei.
We speed walked our way to class, passing by the path made for the famous group, since it was the only way course that wasn't surrounded by a bunch of screaming people. It was a right choice since no one really minded us because their focus was on the boy band.
Until we slid across the floor face flat.
People around me gasped and I was just there on the floor dumbfounded.
Normally, people would ignore something like this. But with everyone gasping, it seemed like someone did this on purpose.
I stood up and stuck my hand out to Fei and looked at the reason why we tripped.
And immediately, I saw a guy with blue hair smirking at our direction.
The guts of this guy...
"You know what? You can have this," Fei said as she calmly stood up, handing me the soda that was in her bag. "You and I both know what you're suppose to do with that, yeah?"
I gave her a smile as I shook the soda I had in hand and faced it at the blue haired guy's direction as I opened it.
We all know what was bound to happen with the soda, I mean, what else could have been done with it? Offer it to him as a sacrifice of how "holy" he looked?
Over my dead body.
Everyone gasped yet again, but the people behind the blue haired man were covering their mouths, trying not to let the laughter in their mouth slip. Except the blond boy who was looking straight at me.
Why is he staring?
But he does look cute...
"How dare you do that to our Ikuto-sama!"
"Oh my god! Ikuto-sama is wet now! But... he looks hot too."
"Ikuto-kun, are you ok?!"
Ah, so it's Ikuto.
"Sorry, my hand slipped. You were in the way," I told him with a bored look.
Cool and spicy kickin' up here.
The blue haired boy chuckled. "Don't you think that it's the other way around?"
"Oh no, I don't think so. The trash bin is right beside you, is it not?"
He took a glance and saw the trash bin, making his group laugh harder, but again, except for the blond.
This so called Ikuto was about to say something until Fei spoke.
"Hate to break it to you, but we're late for class. Five minutes to be exact. So weird ass blue haired woman, save your bullshiz for later because this black haired lady and I need to go."
The guys behind the blue haired boy broke into fits of laughter after heard what Fei said.
"Dude, she called you a weird ass blue haired woman," the brown hair said between laughs as he fell on the floor.
"Hurry while they're distracted. We need to leave. Now," Fei rushed.
I nodded and ran along with her to class.
"I hope we don't see his face again," I grunted.
"I doubt that," my sister replied.
When we got to class, everyone—and by everyone, I mean sensei—was sitting behind his table.
"You two are late, and so is everyone else! But since you two came before everyone else, I excuse your tardiness," he said.
I sighed in relief, and so did Fei.
"Well? Sit!" sensei exclaimed as Fei and I scrambled to the back of the class.
After what felt like forever, people started coming in and filling up the empty seats.
The seats in front of me and Fei were vacant because who would want to sit next to us?
Noticing that everyone was already seated, sensei stood up and cleared his throat. "Well, since everyone is here, I will now make some few announcements. First, you are all tardy, therefore it will be deducted from your grade; except for those two at the back."
The students first groaned, then glared at us.
"Second, we will be having a new stu—"
"Oh my god do you think it would be them?!"
"It's a coincidence isn't it? They just arrived and we'll have new students!"
"It must be fate that brought us together!"
"Are you effing serious right now?" Fei whispered. "I don't really want-"
"-Hotori Tadase will be joining us until the end of the year, discussions regardi-"
"KYAA! TADASE-KUN?"
"OH MY-" and then she fainted?!
What the hell?
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! OUR PRINCE WILL BE HERE? WITH US? BREATHING THE SAME AI-"
"Settle down!" sensei yelled in a scary voice, causing everyone to shush down. "I will not tolerate anyone who will speak of off-topic discussions! Now, Tadase-kun, kindly come in and introduce yourse-"
"TADASE I LOVE YOU!"
"PLEASE NOTICE ME!"
"BE MY HUSBA-"
"OI YOU. GET OUT," sensei yelled in a level 99 scary voice.
"Damn sensei, cool a-f," Fei whispered.
After the girls walked (crawled) out of the room, sensei regained herself. "Tadase-kun, please come in."
I don't know if it was just me, but it wasn't 'Tadase' who came in. It was a ray of light.
Holy shit, Kami-sama bless my soul.
This… this ray of light is so… beautiful.
"Too… bright… going… blind," some of the boys gasped.
I couldn't agree more.
The blinding lights soon (thankfully) dimmed and a blond boy with ruby red eyes came in.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Hotori Tadase. Please take care of me," Tadase greeted with a bow.
"Please take me," I blurted.
"What?" Fei asked.
"What?" I replied.
"You there! Did you say that?" sensei asked Fei.
"Sensei, I said, 'Please take me the doctor tomorrow' to my sister." Fei rescued.
I gave her a small thumbs up which she returned with a glare.
"If you're not feeling well, you tell the teacher, not your sister! Understand?"
"Haaai."
"Carrying on then, Tadase-kun, you may sit next to that lady with thick glasses," sensei told the cute boy.
Hey, I have thick glasses.
...I have thick glasses.
He's going to sit here?!
Daenee: EY YO WADDAP. IT'S YO BOI (GIRL)
Ikuto: Aish, shut up.
Daenee: Look here you little piece of sh-
Amu: Please R&R! Read and Review!
Daenee: If you guys have any concerns, review or PM me and I'll try. KEYWORD TRY to answer. Also, tell me of what you thought of this chapter! Was it ugly? Is it short (like me)? Or is it better? Is it beautiful (like me)? Kidding about the last part though, please don't hate. I like self roasting, so disregard the off-topic inserts.
What to expect with the rewritten BTDL:
-writing style(?)
-level 1 humor disguised by level 999 humor.
-it's a wee bit more formal/proper.
-characters, in my thinking, are less OOC, I think. ((What I mean about this is that they're acting the role I want them to act in))
-it's not cringy.
-better intro in comparison with 9-12 year old me.
-this Filipino thing we call hugot. I'll give you a heads up on a hugot example as the story progresses. There's one at this chapter.
REMEMBER: I AM REWRITING SLOWLY.
