Chapter 1; First Day, Who Are They?
Okis well I decided to somewhat re-write this story so that I could start adding to it again... Hope you like it. XD
'The start of a new school year, and the start of a new me. I'm finally a freshman in College, but even if I do feel excited about it, I still feel a little depress. I graduated a year earlier from High School, thinking the sooner I started my career as a Lawyer the better. But I never really thought that I was going to be all alone with all my friends barely being seniors in High School.' I sighed. I was walking to my first class, being Speech, thinking about all my friends in High School, and hoping that I would meet new ones here in College.
I finally arrived to my designated class, I took my time to take a breath and letting it out before going in the classroom. 'Here I go.'
I opened the door, to my surprise there were only a few people. 'I guess I arrived too early.' I smiled to the people in the classroom before taking my sit not too back yet not too close to the front of the classroom.
I waited for more people to arrive, and smiled to the ones that sat close to me. They all seem to be nice people, but none of them looked like the types of people I would hang out with normally. 'No, I can't judge a book by its cover. I promise my Okaa-San that I would make lots of friends before leaving home.'
-Earlier that Moring… Flashback-
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, heading directly to take a shower and get ready for school. 'Today is the first day of College. I can't believe I'm a College student now.' I thought as I got out of the shower and went into my room to change. All this, I did it as quiet as possible since I didn't want to wake my father up. He had return really late last night from work and needed as much rest as possible. 'I can't imagine how hard it is for him to have two jobs, one, working as a packaging person, and the other at a gay bar.' I sighed. After my mother had died, my father decided to become fully gay and a cross-dresser. I'm not against it; actually to tell you the truth he looks really beautiful as a woman.
I finished changing and made some breakfast for myself and my dad. 'I will leave this here for when he wakes up.' I placed the plate of food on the table covering it with a plastic container.
I walked up to my mother's memorial and sat in front of it. "Good Morning, Okaa-San, I will be starting College today, so please I ask for your blessings. I promise I will make lots of friends and get good grades, as I will really want to become a lawyer just as you once were. Okaa-San, I don't have much time, but I do wish you be happy, please take care of Otou-San while I'm gone." I kissed my mother's picture good-bye before heading for school, leaving my father a little note.
-End of Flashback-
I saw as more people came into the room and then what seemed to be the teacher. Everyone in the room including the teacher looked tired. Finally as the teacher sat on her desk in front of everyone, she started to talk. "Good Morning Everyone! How was your summer vacation?" Everyone said 'Ok' as a replied. The teacher smiled and continued saying. "All of you seem tired, didn't feel like waking up this morning I might be guessing. Ah don't worry too much about it; I was the same as you all."
Everyone laughed at her statement and so did she. "Ok, to start of, how about if you all introduce yourselves. You will say your first and last name, grade level and what you're studying to become, how about it? If you want to add a more to it, be my guest." The students agreed. "Ok, I'll start. Hi, students my name is Ms. Minami, I'm of course your teacher and I became as you all can see a College Speech Teacher. Alright your turn." She pointed to the first guy on the row next to mine, meaning that it would soon be my turn.
"Hi everyone, my name is…"
The next student… "Hi, I'm…"
"Good Morning classmates, my name is…"
It went on like that until finally it was my turn. I stood up as all the other students had done and started introducing myself. "Good Morning each and one of you, my name is Haruhi Fujioka. I'm a freshman in College. I would like to become a Lawyer as my mother once was. Following her foot-steps has always been my dream. I hope I will make great friends with everyone in this classroom." I finished saying and once again took my sit.
The remaining students introduced themselves. As they all finish the teacher looked at her roster and realized that two students were missing. "It seems that Hikaru and Kaoru, the Hitachiin brothers, aren't here yet." She said as I saw her marking something on the piece of paper.
'Hikaru, Kaoru… Those names seem really interesting.' I thought as I scribbled the names on a piece of paper I had taken out of my binder. "I wonder if they're as cool as their names sound…" I said in a whisper. Low enough for no one around me to hear.
Ms. Minami continued the class by handing out the whole semester's schedule. Talking about what we were all going to do throughout the semester and how she was going to grade our work. We were just going over the syllabus and not really doing any work.
'I guess we're not really going to do anything today, since it's the first day of school.' I thought as Ms. Minami let us go 15 minutes early. I walked to my next class, calculating how much time I had left. '25 minutes before the next class begins.' I waited outside the classroom, waiting for the first class to come out. I was getting tired of standing up, so I decided to sit on the floor.
I saw most of the people around me talking to their friends and laughing or complaining about their first class or how much the books cost. 'Ah, how I wish I could be with my friends right now. I feel so lonely. Okaa-San, what should I do? I'm not one to make friends really easily.' I sighed as I saw the students in the classroom finally coming out. I got up and walked into the room, College Algebra. 'That's nice, we get to use laptops. That's way better that writing on paper.' I walked close to the front and sat close to the middle in the second row.
I logged in into my College Page, where I had all my work saved and all my classes scheduled. I was looking at the messages from my other classmates. They had send 'Hi Everyone' e-mails and what not. As I looked through the people I will have in this classroom I noticed that both Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin where in this class too. 'I wonder if they're here right now… Why am I so interested in meeting them? Damn am I becoming a stalker or what?!' But I wasn't a stalker, I was just that, Interested. I checked the other e-mails from my other classes and at the same time I checked if I had Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin in any of the classes left. 'Wow, I do. I have both of them for all my other classes. It's a bit strange… actually, nah it's not strange, and it's cool because I might get to meet them.'
Class started and the teacher called row, everyone but Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin replied to their names. I sighed. "I guess they're not coming to this class either." I said under my breath.
The class went on the same as Speech. The teacher talked about the syllabus and introduced himself and his Student-teacher-assistant to the class. His name was Mr. Kurazaka and his assistant was Mr. Kiname. 'Well at least this time we didn't have to introduce ourselves too.' He also talked about what we were going to do throughout the semester. 'Aah, the same as Ms. Minami.'
Mr. Kurazaka too, allowed us to go early, but unlike Ms. Minami, he let us go almost an hour early. This time it was good that he did that, because my other class was on the other side of the school. I walked slowly to class thinking about Hikaru and Kaoru. 'Are they just late, or will they not come to school today? I don't really know why, but I want to meet them. I want to know if they're nice guys or trouble makers, if they're smart or total idiots. But what I want to know the most is, if they're twins or just coincidently in the same grade level.'
I arrived to my next class, the first class had already left and only a few people were in. This time I sat in the front row, close to the middle but not exactly in the middle. I knew that in this class we were going to take notes since I overheard a couple of people talking about this teacher and his way of teaching. I took out my binder and a pen, placing them on my desk wishing I had a laptop instead, writing wasn't something I enjoyed much.
A couple of minutes passed by and more people started coming in. A few people sat close to me, but not besides me since I had place my backpack on one of the chairs. The teacher also arrived and introduced himself. "Good Morning class. My name is Mr. Souhma. I'll be your teacher for the semester. As most of you have heard, I'll be going straight to the lesson, there's no need for an introduction to the class." He took out a memory stick and plugged it in on the computer, opening 'Chapter One Notes'.
'Notes… great' I sighed. 'Well since he's not going to go over the roster, I won't be able to know if Hikaru and Kaoru are here or not… I don't feel like taking notes.'
The class went on with taking notes and the teacher making jokes. He's really cool for a teacher that started the first day of school with notes and for someone who'll give use tests every Thursday. But its ok, he's still ok.
As I was getting up to leave class I got a glance at two guys with burnet hair leaving the room. 'They looked like identical twins. Could it be them, Hikaru and Kaoru? I doubt it, I mean; I don't think they're the only siblings in this school. Forget it Haruhi, just don't think too much about it.'
It was lunch time and I didn't feel like eating at all. I walked to my next class, although I still had an hour and forty minutes for it to start. I sat on a bench outside of the classroom and took out my binder. I started scribbling on it… and without noticing I wrote Hikaru and Kaoru all over the paper. "Aah… What in the world…?" I ripped off the paper from my binder and crumbled it into a ball. I sighed. "What am I thinking? Do I really want to meet these guys so bad? Argh, what if they're total jerks, what am I to do then?!" I clapped my hands onto my face and stayed like that for a while.
I felt someone sitting besides me, and that's when I came back to reality. I looked up and saw a really handsome guy looking at me. He smiled before saying. "Hey are you okay?"
'Is he talking to me?' I looked behind me, just to check if he was really talking to me.
"Yes, yes I'm talking to you." He said as he laughed at my reaction.
"Aah… yea, I'm fine. Just a little tired that's all." I finally replied as I completely snapped out of my own little world.
"That's good to hear. I had seen you sitting here scribbling on a paper and suddenly crumbling it, I don't know, you just seemed lonely. My brother went to get some drinks, I asked him to bring you one too."
"Thanks, but you don't even know me. Why are you being so nice?"
"I don't know, normally I don't talk to anyone other than my brother, but when I saw you sitting here, I guess you let out an aura that was asking for someone to talk to." He laughed at what he had said. "Sorry that sounded a bit weird, didn't it?" He questioned with a playful smile.
"Yes a little." I replied as I too laughed a bit. "Thanks for coming here and talking to me, I really was feeling a bit lonely." I said with a serious look on my face and tone of voice.
"No problem. By the way, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Kaoru Hitachiin."
'It couldn't be, did I hear correctly or were my ears playing a trick on me?' I looked at him with unbelievable written all over my face. "I'm sorry, I… I didn't quite catch that. Did… did you say, Kaoru?"
"Yea, I did. My brother will be arriving soon, his name is Hikaru. We're the Hitachiin brothers. That's what everyone calls us, since they can't actually distinguish us. Hikaru and I are identical twins."
"Hikaru and Kaoru… Those are interesting names. It's really nice to meet you, Kaoru." Weirdly I could see Kaoru blush as I mentioned his name.
"Kaoru, hey man, help me will ya' this drinks are cold!" Yelled what seemed to be Hikaru from behind Kaoru.
"Coming don't dare drop the drinks, Hikaru!" Kaoru walked towards Hikaru helping him with two of the drinks.
As I saw them walking towards me I could see why no one could distinguish them. When Kaoru said that they were identical twins he wasn't kidding. They looked exactly alike.
"Here you go." Kaoru said as he handed me the cold drink.
'Mango flavored juice my favorite.' I thought as I opened it and took a sip. "Mmh, Delicious!"
I could here both Hikaru and Kaoru laugh at my reaction. "Aah, don't tell me I just said that out loud? How embarrassing…"
"Nah, don't worry about it. Sorry for laughing, it's just that you just looked like a little girl when you took a sip of juice. I had never seen someone make that expression from taking a sip of drink." Kaoru continued laughing a bit more, but I noticed that Hikaru had already stopped.
"So Kaoru, are ya' gonna introduce us, or what?" Hikaru questioned as he looked at me and smiled. He didn't seem like a bad person, but at the same time he didn't sound as nice as Kaoru did.
"Oh yea… Hikaru this is…" He paused, and then looked at me. "To tell you the truth, I don't know."
"Aah, sorry, sorry, I didn't introduce myself at all. Sorry, sorry!"
They laughed again. Were my expressions really that funny? "Its ok, you don't have to apologize so much about it, you know. It was just a simple mistake." Kaoru said as he took a sit besides me, Hikaru sitting on the floor in front of us.
"My name is Haruhi Fujioka. It's really nice to meet the both of you." I said with a smile.
"Well I'm Hikaru Hitachiin, Kaoru's older brother." Hikaru said as he took a sip of his drink.
"Hey it's not fair, just for 5 minutes!" Kaoru complained.
"So, I'm still older, because I was born first!" Hikaru argued back.
"Argh, whatever, you may be older, but you act like a brat!" Kaoru yelled back.
"That is not true! You're the cry-baby!"
I couldn't help but laugh at their little argument. It was stupid. Yet they looked really close to each other. "It seems like you guys really love each other uh." I said as I continued laughing a bit more.
"Of course we do!" The both said in unison.
All three of us laughed as we waited for class to start. 'I really hope that this is the start of a new friendship.' I thought as I looked at the Hitachiin brothers laughing with me.
End of Chapter 1!!
