Chapter 1:
Class after class filed into the hall for the first assembly of the year. They began by welcoming newcomers, working their way through all the classes until finally they introduced Shou. His name and face were instantly recognised causing a buzz of excitement. His family were famous; his mother a famous singer and the father the head of a large corporation. He gave a small, shy smile before averting his eyes to the floor, a pink blush adorning his cheeks. A few announcements were then said and each class was dismissed. Shou followed his class tentatively, ignoring all questions before seating himself at the back of the room and occupying himself with his bag.
"Who does he think he is, just ignoring us like that?" A tall boy with dark hair growled as he stalked into the classroom. "He's rich he can do what he likes, or at least he thinks he can, Tora." Replied another boy with large, dark sunglasses, "I know Saga, maybe we should properly introduce ourselves, hey, Reita, come meet the new kid," Tora announced, before beckoning over a blonde boy with an odd fashion statement of a Bandana tied round his head, covering his nose. The three marched straight up to Shou with strange grins. "So beautiful, my friends say you have been disrespecting them, now that's not nice is it… money doesn't get you out of everything" the blonde boy snarled, banging his fist on the table and making Shou who had his head in his bag, jump. "Wha… what?" he whispered, feeling himself shaking. He had hoped his wealth would be enough for people to leave him alone. "Ah… so, a rich, dumb boy, it's a good thing you've got such a pretty face, maybe, I'll leave that bit…" Reita scowled, cracking his fists. "Look, I'm sorry…. I… I never meant to offend… anyone, I've jus… just got a lot of things on my mind…" he whispered, he had turned ghostly pale and leaned far back in his chair. "Oh the princess has problems, have you not had the chance to count your piggybank this morning, I've got an idea, why not hand over your wallet, now, and we promise to go easy…" Tora added, with a smirk, holding out his hand. Shou started to pull his wallet out when the teacher walked into the room. "Boys! Sit down…" he ordered, and the three boys reluctantly moved away. Shou sighed and hid his wallet in his bag.
Just then a short boy walked in, he had an air of confidence about him, and he didn't even give an explanation for his tardiness as he found a seat next to Reita. Shou glanced over and saw them looking over at him every now and then and snigger or glare. Shou gulped and busied himself with notes. He was left to his own devices for the rest of the lesson. Thankfully, he's already walked past his next classroom, so when he finished he rushed to the room and was relieved to see that the teacher was already in the room. He gave a small smile before heading towards the back. "Nice to meet you Shou, I had the pleasure of meeting your mother, a lovely lady!" the teacher announced making Shou sigh, but ultimately he nodded his head in a polite manner. Students filed into the classroom, each row filling up quickly. It seemed the class was a large one, therefore the last one in had to sit in the empty seat beside Shou. To his dismay, in walked the shirt blonde who had sat next to the Bandana guy.
Shou moved over so he could leave him as much space as possible, and avoiding any unnecessary touches. The short boy saw this and frowned slightly, before sitting down. "I won't bite you know…" the boy remarked gruffly, receiving no reply besides a sudden jerky movement from Shou. "Well… whatever." He growled, unimpressed with the taller boys apparent lack of manners. He has thought Reita was being his usual self-important self. But it appeared this one really was ignorant. He took the time throughout the lesson to sneak glances at the boy. He really was perfect, no imperfections, and beautiful eyes, soft looking hair that was clearly expensively styled and soft pink lips. He was definitely Ruki's type. Ruki smiled slightly as the boy blushed when he noticed the attention. The period was double, so after was lunch. "Hey, I'm Ruki!" the smaller boy tried again, refreshed by the boy's beauty. "Ah... erm… Shou" he answered awkwardly replied and shook the hand before him. "I'll show you to the Canteen." Ruki continued, herding Shou from the room and towards the lunch room.
Ruki and Shou entered the busy canteen and joined the queue. "Hey Ruki, we got you food!" Tora shouted across the room, before glaring at Shou. Ruki glanced at Shou and saw him looking down at the floor. He sighed and marched over to his friends. "What are you doing with that brat?" Reita snarled. Ruki felt sorry for him, but one boy was not worth his reputation. "That stupid biology teacher asked me to give him a tour, thank god I got away!" he smirked, before adding, "Who does he think he is, having the nerve to ignore us." He grabbed the sandwich from Tora, ignoring the obvious hurt upon Shou's face. "How about skipping this afternoon?" he asked changing the conversation.
