Unlocking My Past
Chapter 1
Have you ever wondered how it felt if you liked someone? I'm sure any sixteen year old girl like me would know how it feels. My name is Kimiko Tohomiko and I am infatuated with a schoolmate.
I won't tell you his name for now but I can tell you that he is the dreamiest boy I've ever seen in my life. He is also my first love.
It was the first day of high school and I was excited; excited to see him again. I even picked this school because I knew he was coming here. This high school- Heylin High – is the most prestigious school where geniuses from all over come to study. I studied my butt off just to get here so you can probably see the intensity of my love.
The first thing I had to do was to check the noticeboard to see the class I'm in. I scanned the board for my name and… THERE! Class 1/1! Now, to find his name… Found it! Oh my gosh! Class 1/1 too? He's in my class! This is probably the happiest day in my life!
"Ouch!" I said as someone hit my side.
I looked up to see who did it and guess who it is? Yup, it's the one and only Chase Young. The guy I've admired since the end of middle school.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry, did I hit you hard?"
I can't believe it! Chase is talking to me! ME!
"O-oh yes I'm fine" I stammered.
"Ok then. Wait a minute. Aren't you that girl from the same middle school as I am? I've seen you around before. I'm sure of it. What's your name?"
"I'm Kimiko Tohomiko."'
"Kimiko? You're in the same class as I am. Well since we're in the same class and all, care to walk there together?"
Walk together? Chase is asking me to walk to class together! I think I might just get a heart attack.
"Sure!" I said joyfully.
We then headed to class together, side by side. This is a dream come true! I was so happy I think I could die at any moment!
We found our class and Chase slid the wooden door open. There were people inside chatting happily and some were studying. That is expected, considering this is a school of geniuses. Chase and I were about to look for seats when I noticed that a group of girls started glaring daggers at me. So much for making no enemies in this school. I guess they're everywhere.
"Hey Chase, those girls are creeping me out with their staring. I didn't even do a thing."
"It's probable because of me. They're just jealous. Just ignore them." Chase said coldly.
"Uhh sure…"
Suddenly, the group of staring girls stood up from their places and they came walking towards me. They looked furious.
"Who do you think you are, you whore?" shouted one of them.
Her shouting caused everyone in the room to stop what they were doing and stare in my direction. Before I could say anything, Chase intervened.
"Who do you think you are, picking fights on the first day of school? Do you want me to report this to the principal?"
"We-we-we're sorry Chase! We didn't mean to. It's just that she was getting so close to you and we thought that we should introduce ourselves to her." Said the girl timidly.
What a coward, I thought as I rolled my eyes. But, I'm so happy Chase stood up for me! This is really going to be a good year!
"Introduce yourselves? By calling her names? That's a very unusual way of introducing. Care to teach me?" Kira sarcastically said.
Without a moment to waste, the girls ran out of the classroom; not saying another word.
As the girls left, everyone who was staring got back to whatever they were doing previously.
"Thanks Chase. I owe you one. Just name it and I'll give it."
"So you'll give me anything?"
"Yeah, anything. But not the impossible of course."
Chase leaned closer to me and he whispered, "Let's go on a date today then."
A date!? With Chase? Is he joking? Of course, I'm happy but it seems so… unreal like a dream.
