Hey, I am khawesome9. This is my first School Rumble fanfic and I'm in the process of doing one for Eternal Sonata. (For the few people who know what videogame that is.) Now, I felt inclined to start a School Rumble fanfic. I apologize if this first chapter is boring at first, but that's only because I have to introduce the characters. Enjoy!

Our story deserves to be heard too… we aren't just some random class you can leave in the dust… 2C? 2D? What of 2B? What about our story and the things we do? We won't be unheard… we also want to show who we are… 2C isn't the only one with a story to be heard… Do you want to know of the events of 2B? Then go ahead… it's write here…
The First Day of School
"Hello, my name is Daichi Tanaka. I am a student attending Yagami High School. Today is the day that I am a Sophomore. I will see if I ended up in the same classes as my friends. I am actually a more calm, laid back kind of guy. I know what's right and will stand up for it, but most of the time, I'll just stay back and watch how things go. It all depends on the situation. I hope that this will be a good school year."
Daichi began to walk up the steps of the school. He turned to see the large board of names that will determine what class you would be in for the school year. He walked up, through the large crowd and looked for his name. He soon found it on 2B.
"Alright! I'm with all the hot chicks! This year is going to rock!"
Daichi turned his head over to see Imadori, acting like is Christmas. Obviously, he was in a class with all of the "hot chicks." Daichi actually used to be really good friends with Imadori… until Middle School, when he turned into a pervert. Now he just kind of avoids him, because it was obvious that girls don't like guys who are pervy. Daichi then turned back to the list and noticed that two of his friends were in the same class as him: Hiroshi and Kiyoshi; twins. They became his best friends once Imadori… changed. Daichi than began to search for his friends. He actually saw some girl happy about being in the same class as Karasuma. Clearly she liked him and he felt sorry for her. He had also known Karasuma and keeps in touch with him here and there, and he knew that Karasuma only had two days until he would have to move to elsewhere. Well, it wasn't his problem, since Karasuma and that girl are in class 2C.
"Hey Daichi, how're you doing?"
Daichi ran up to greet his close friends.
"Hello. How are you guys doing?"
"We're fine. So are we in the same class?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Yes, we are." responded Daichi.
"How about Karasuma?" asked Hiroshi.
"No, he ended up in 2C, but that's ok."
"Too bad, he's a pretty cool guy." said Kiyoshi.
"Actually, I feel kind of happy for him; that girl over there clearly likes him."
Daichi then pointed over to the girl he had seen earlier.
"Tenma? You do realize she's a complete klutz, right?" asked Hiroshi.
"So? Does it matter?"
"Well… whatever, I guess… oh crap!"
Everyone immediately ran away from the wall as Kenji Harima came up to it. He began to concentrate really hard about something. He was then interrupted by some idiot and immediately punched him in the face. Harima then explained that he should be more sensitive, like him. (Yeah right!)
"Harima, why are you checking the level 2 list? You were held back, don't you remember?"
Harima then muttered to himself and walked away from the list. Everyone then immediately went back to reading it.
"We really shouldn't let him scare people like that." said Daichi.
"Ok, you can go talk to Mr. Sensitive about it and we'll laugh… I mean watch from a distance." said Kiyoshi.
"…Fine… I think I will." said Daichi.
His two friends yelled about him being crazy as he walked towards Harima. Even though Daichi was laid back, he wasn't scared to speak his mind. He just liked to keep things calm. That would be hard with Harima.
"Excuse me, Harima…"
Harima turned to him with fire in his eyes. Clearly he was ready to release anger in anyway possible.
"Hey look… I don't know if you know this. But you kind of give off bad vibes. It's like you're constantly threatening people. I don't think that's to good of an idea. Maybe you should stop… you know… beating people up…"
Harima then grabbed Daichi by the collar.
"Hey, you're pretty smart, right?" asked Harima.
"…I guess you can say that." answered Daichi.
"How about you help me get into 2C, and I'll try and avoid fights… you know, only when I have to. Sound like a good proposition for ya?"
Daichi could sense the anger that he felt. He knew that he couldn't back down and say know… he wasn't planning to anyway.
"Sounds good." said Daichi.
"Good. Thanks. Follow me."
The two then headed over to the principles office. As they walked, questions began to form in Daichi's mind… Why did Harima want into 2C so badly? He did attempt to use psychic powers… or something… but why? He didn't care about school… was he actually beginning to change?
Two days later
It was after school and the three friends were hanging out together.
"Are you serious? He didn't beat you up?" asked Hiroshi.
"Not at all. We went to principal's office. He begged to be in 2C and I promised I'd help him study to retake his finals to prove that he can be in level 2. We had a cram session for two days and he's now in 2C." said Daichi.
"And you did this just to help everyone out? Wow, you're pretty awesome." said Kiyoshi.
"Well, I am me, you know."
The three laughed and the conversation turned elsewhere.
"Excuse me? Which one of you is Daichi Tanaka?"
Daichi then stood up.
"Hello, my name is Misaki; it's nice to meet you."
Daichi reached out his hand and shook it.
"It's nice to meet you too, Misaki."
"Can I talk to you for a bit?"
"Alright."
The two walked over to where the water fountains are.
"Look, I know I've never really talked to you… but I did hear about how you helped out Harima. I was wondering if you would do the same for me." said Misaki.
She smiled at Daichi and with his personality, he had to help her out.
"Sounds good. Where would you like to meet?" asked Daichi.
"How about you take my number and text me later?"
"Ok."
She took his hand and wrote down her number on it.
"Thanks again!"
Daichi then walked back to the table. Imadori had decided to pull a seat next to the twins.
"What's up my man? It's been a while since we talked. I thought I'd come hang out here for a bit. So, what were you doing with a D?"
"You really shouldn't label girls in that sort of way. It's rather degrading and you could really upset someone in that manner."
Imadori frowned at his old friend. His smile soon came back up as soon as he looked at Daichi's hand.
"You got her number? Well aren't you lucky on the first day of school, eh?"
"It's really nothing; we simply said that she needs me to help her with some school work."
"You do realize this is only the third day of school? Who needs help at this point; we haven't learned anything yet!" yelled Imadori.
"Well, we'll see how things go… it all depends…" said Daichi.
"Hey man, if you don't go out with her, can you give me her number?"
"I'm not sure if she would like that." said Daichi.
"I'll ask you when the time comes; how about that? Ok, see ya later."
Imadori then left the trio.
"Well, Imadori is annoying as usual." said Hiroshi.
"Yeah, I think we got to go now. See ya, Daichi!"
Hiroshi and Kiyoshi then left. Soon after, Daichi went on his bike and began to head back home. He notice a bike riding up to the side of him.
"Hello Daichi, it's been a while since we talked."
"Hello Karasuma. Weren't you supposed to move yesterday?" asked Daichi.
"Yes… but I postponed the trip. I had a note placed in my foot locker from a girl, saying that she wanted me to stay."
"Do you know who it is?" asked Daichi.
"Not yet, but I began to have an analysis on everyone to try and see if I can find out who it is." said Karasuma.
"Do you talk to anyone in class?" asked Daichi.
"No. I'd rather stare out the window and think." said Karasuma.
"I swear; you only talk to me."
"That's probably because we've been working together so long." said Karasuma.
"Yeah, working with others on comics does do that to you. By the way, when are you ready to send me that new comic to review?"
"Soon. I need a bit more time to finish it."
"Ok, that sound's good. I'll see you later, Karasuma."
Daichi then turned in another direction and began to bike away. He was at home and it was about time he text that girl about studying.
