This is actually a re-write of one of my older stories that I intend to actually finish this time around..
The story is a little different so even if you read the other one, please re-read the chapter! I actually changed things quite a bit and hopefully they make more sense. I also changed Makai's character slightly in hopes that she'll be a tad more likable..
ENJOY! And Please Review~
-Makai's P.O.V-
I sighed as I started to near my school gates. This place was pure hell for me. Yet every day I had to return to this god awful place. My parents had forced me to enroll in this all girl school, something about 'keeping all of my focus on my studies.' This wouldn't be a problem, if almost all the girls I had ever met didn't hate me. I never really understood why..
I actually had tried to give it a shot and get along with everyone. But almost the minute that I had walked in, almost all the girls were giving me death stares. So I quickly gave up on that idea.
My parents aren't a part of the picture anymore, though. No, they aren't dead. They are alive and well and completely healthy. But they just aren't a factor in my life anymore. Something not worth getting into right now..
The only reason that I returned to this hell-hole everyday was because of the attachments that I had made here. Speaking of which, I could hear one coming right now.
"Makai!" I hear someone call my name and I knew exactly who it was, one of my best friends, Tenten. We had met at the beginning of my freshman year and her sophomore year, and here we are a year later closer than could be. She was the first girl to approach me and actually be friendly towards me. She ran up to me and gave me a smile.
I turned my head a little to face her as she accompanied me on my walk to school. "Hey Tenten." I said with a smile. She was always much more loud and hyper than me, but I really appreciated her regardless of the minor aches I got from her dragging me around everywhere.
Besides, around her I could actually be myself. While at school I did my best to keep to myself and even glare at the other girls to keep them away. I didn't want any more trouble than I had to face. I learned very quickly that the less approachable and outgoing I made myself, the more likely they were just to leave me alone.
"So.. This Saturday are you going to com-" Tenten started to say in a nervous voice.
But I quickly interrupted her, "No."
She sighed and whined, "Why not?"
"You know why not!" I slightly yelled, angry that she keeps bringing this up yet again.
She pouted and crossed her arms, "It's just lunch. Who cares if Sakura and Ino are going to be there?"
"I care." I said giving her a slight glare.
Out of all the girls that disliked me, Sakura and Ino were the worst of it. They argued all the time and it was hard to even think of them as friends. Yet when I came around they sure were quick to team up and be against me.
She looked at me, clearly disappointed both in her looks and voice, "I get it.. But both I and Hinata would love for you to come. Some of our best childhood friends will be there and we'd love for them to meet you."
Thankfully before the conversation could continue, I heard quick footsteps behind me and turned to look. It was ironically Hinata running towards us. As she reached the side of me that Tenten wasn't on, she fell into steps with us but she was still panting a little from running.
"Running a bit late?" I asked with a smile and a teasing tone.
She returned my smile and nodded. Hinata and I had been paired together for a project and she was so shy and sweet that I instantly liked her. She quickly became another close friend of mine since I was already friends with Tenten.
As we came up to the light pink school, a color I quickly grew to hate, Hinata and I separated from Tenten. There are two buildings at the school, one for freshmen and sophomores and one for juniors and seniors. It was a pretty small school which was okay because there weren't too many students.
LATER AFTER SCHOOL
I went through my normal day and ended up cleaning the classroom, the teacher always assigned someone to do it. Because of how often I have to clean, it really didn't bother me so I didn't complain. It was actually the only circumstance where I could be at peace in the school because it was just me. During that time I didn't have to worry about the other girls.
But today was different. The door opened and I turned my head to see Sakura and Ino giggling as they walked into the classroom. But as they saw me their faces instantly dropped into glares. I just looked away, hoping that they would leave soon.
"Look, Sakura. It's the freaky emo outcast, Makai." Ino said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at the comment. Somehow the name 'emo' was thrown at me and stuck throughout the past year. Something about me usually, not even always, wearing dark colors and keeping to myself. Clearly they didn't know the correct meaning of the term.
"What do you want?" I said, uninterested in playing their games right now. They were disturbing the only peace that I could have at the school. But I really shouldn't be shocked by that.
Ino and Sakura both glared at me as Sakura walked over to her desk and picked up her bag that she had accidently left.
Sakura spoke as she walked back over to Ino, "She was just warning me that the school's main loser was close by. We try to be sure that we are 10 feet away from you at all times. We wouldn't want you to rub off on us." She ended with a smirk.
I was so beyond not in the mood for this. I clenched my fist and said with a slight growl, "You want to be bitches, fine. But keep it the hell away from me; I'm not in the mood."
Sakura said with a slight chuckle, "You're in no mood to deal with me? You think I'm in the mood to deal with you? Nobody wants to deal with you, not even your parents." I could feel my heart stop and the anger flow through me at the last comment.
At some point when I got here, I told Tenten that my parents weren't around anymore. I guess people overheard because it wasn't long before everyone in school knew. She had no right to bring up my parents!
Before I even knew what I was doing, I punched her harder then I would ever intend to hit anyone. She immediately fell onto the floor unconscious. Ino screamed and leaned down to try and help Sakura. I was frozen in shock, I didn't think that I would hit her so hard..
I couldn't believe what I had just done.
ONE HOUR LATER
I sat in the Principal's office, staring at the name plate to keep my attention focused on something as silence filled the room.
Tsunade Senji
I let that one name on the metal plating occupy my mind, trying to avoid thinking about the problem at hand. The principal and an older man that I had never seen before sat across the desk from me. I had actually talked to Principle Senji a lot and got along quite well with her. Because of my situation with my parents, she felt the need to be there for me.
She sighed, "What's the problem, why did you hit her?" Sakura was also very close with Tsunade, which meant that Tsunade knew that we didn't get along. In fact I think she always kind of expected this.
I looked over to the old man, who was just sitting there with a small friendly smile, keeping to himself. I sighed and thought it over for a moment. "You know that we've always had problems.. She said something that pushed me a little too far and I couldn't help but hit her. I didn't even really mean to hurt her.."
The old man laughed at this and turned to look at Tsunade, "You know how situations are blown out of proportion when you're young, Tsunade! This girl clearly just has a lot of sprit and felt that she needed to defend herself." He then turned to me and smiled again.
Tsunade sighed and growled out, "That's not a good excuse for these kinds of actions and you know that, Sarutobi-Sensei!" She then turned her attention to me, "I can't have you punching people just because they say something to hurt you!"
"Well I can't help it! It's not my fault that all these stupid girls hate me! I've never gotten along with girls in the first place and you expect me to survive here?!" I yelled out before I could even stop myself. This was all beyond stressful and I honestly felt like crying.
The room was silent for a few moments, Tsunade clearly not blaming me for my outburst as she saw the tears in my eyes threatening to spill over.
Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temples as she spoke, "I don't know what to tell you. This is the only school that a girl can attend in this area. There is nowhere else."
This was true. There had once been one big school, but it was burned down in an accident somehow, honestly it was a mystery. So now there was just the all girls' school, and the all boys' school.
"Then she can come to my school!" The old man I now knew as Sarutobi-Sensei bursted out with a smile. That's when it occurred to me who he must be.. The principal of the all boys' school. "Clearly she won't be able to avoid trouble here, especially after today, and there's no way she'll be harassed by any girls at my school."
Tsunade looked at him like he was crazy, but then her face faded into one of defeat. "I guess I don't really have a better option.."
"You must be joking." I said in surprise. "Y-You can't.. I'm a girl! Am I even allowed to attend the school?!"
"If he says it's okay then he will find a way to make it happen! Besides, would you rather face charges?" Tsunade asked, knowing what I'd pick.
I sighed and looked down in defeat. Both I and Tsunade were clearly not happy about the turn of events. Sarutobi-Sensei still held his smile as he spoke, "Great! I'll make the arrangements tonight. You can start tomorrow!"
AT HOME
Before I had left my new principal gave me all the information I would need to know about the school. It seemed pretty normal. He even made me give him my e-mail so he could give me my schedule sometime tonight so I could start the day like any normal day. He was incredibly nice, but the situation made it hard for me to appreciate.
"YOU WHAT?!" Tenten screamed on the other side of the phone. I was now in a three way call with Hinata and Tenten as I told them all the details of what had happened.
"Y-You're gonna be going t-to the all boy's school..?" Hinata asked in disbelief.
"It appears so.." I said, still quite shocked myself.
"B-b-b-but that's.. HOW?!" Tenten screamed once again.
I had already started to move the phone further from my ear. And I sighed, "I don't know.. But it's happening."
The conversation continued much liked that before I told them goodnight and hung up. It was a long day and I needed to rest. I took a shower and went to sleep right after I got dressed. Waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow and my day at a new all boy school begin.
