Note: I am editing Ordinary to a Fault and changing a few things in it. When I was rereading it, I realized that I really didn't like the way I was wording a few things, also a few things felt rushed or not really presented properly. So I'm doing a major edit. It will still be the same... in a sense, but it will be better written and not so jumbled around. There will only be a few things changed within the story, mainly more details will be added in.
I hope you guys will forgive me for my absence

The day began is it normally did in my home; I woke up early, showered, dressed for school before waking up my little sisters. The two of them would then fight with me until I managed to drag them out of their beds, threatening to leave them behind before leaving their room to start making breakfast for the three of us. We lived in a three bedroom apartment; it was just big enough for the three of us to live in comfort and we still had enough room for the times when we gained random visitors. As my sisters fought over who was going to shower first, I started setting the table as our rice, fish and miso soup cooked.
Five years ago our parents divorced each other, leaving me and my sister's at a loss of what to do. While I didn't want to go from one house to another all the time, I also didn't want to just have our kaa-san have full custody of us. In the end, our tou-san got full custody over us surprisingly, but they agreed to support me and my sisters until we were finished school. Thus we were given an apartment next to one of tou-san's friends, who also had a daughter the same age as my sisters. Yet, despite that agreement, we never received anything from our kaa-san nor had we heard anything from her. In the beginning, our tou-san always came to visit us and make sure we were doing alright. Once he was satisfied that the three of us were doing fine on our own, our tou-san stepped down a bit, letting us adapt to being on our own. Even though our neighbor always checked up on us every now and then, the same with our tou-san too of course.
I was in my last year of high school and attended the prestigious Ouran Academy, which was a school for the rich and elite. I have attended this school since my first year of high school and continued to keep my scholarship up. My sisters were also attending with me now as it was their first year of high school. Since we couldn't afford the uniforms for the school, my sisters and I ended up making due with our own clothes, preferring them to the uniforms offered.
Not that I minded of course, after all everyone in school that I was a boy anyway. With short, thick reddish brown hair, forest green eyes and pale skin, I didn't stick out a lot, and most of the students usually brushed me off. Yet, no matter how much time I spent with my nose in the books and kept to myself as an ordinary, boring, commoner; I still heard whispers about me through the halls. Not that it bothered me mind you; after all I was used to ridicule, odd stares, whispers and the occasion bullying. But I was never fazed, I was quite used to the attention, I kinda had to be with sisters like my own.
My name is Ryukoku, Makoto, an ordinary 17 year old girl living an extraordinary life. This is my adventure during my final year in high school with my sisters Ryukoku, Takara and Ryukoku, Yuzuki. This is an unexpected adventure that turns not my world upside down, but my sisters as well and decides to test not only our strength and resolve; but also our fate and the ties that have been created unknowingly.
