Chapter 1: Aoi Odagiri


Aoi Odagiri sighed as she sat down on a park bench, sighing. In the middle of the concrete square was a large fountain. Old folks taking a stroll, Joggers on a daily run… It was a normal day. At least for them. People who passed by her looked at her weirdly. She must have looked out of place to them – what was a student from a prestigious academy out and about during school hours? People tended to get nosey.

She was just waiting for a friend to come by. Her home and her school was on the other side of town and she had only gone back for awhile to collect the rest of her things from the Music Room and her classroom. That was the goodbye from her to Aikawa Gakuen, one of the top two schools in Japan. The other was an all boys' school.

Someone flicked her on the forehead and she shouted out in surprise before holding her head and curving into hug her head. "OW. Tanaka Sho! What was that for?"

Her childhood friend laughed out before he sat down next to her, in his school uniform. He was from Ara High and probably the only guy she had EVER interacted with, other than her dad, her stepdad and of course her Brother, Ryu Odagiri. But she didn't know where her dad and brother were now. Her hair was jet black and straight at the top and curled artistically at the bottom, though it was still tied up from her trip to school. Her short fringe fell into her eyes and she had light chocolate brown eyes. Her uniform that would not be worn anymore after that consisted of a chestnut-cream colour scheme with a Blazer, blouse and miniskirt.

Sho was a different story altogether. His hair was almost shoulder length and held a tinge of brown in it. His eyes were dark and he had a few piercings up one of his ears. Sho's 'uniform' consisted of a t-shirt under his open blazer, long navy blue pants and sneakers – hardly what one would think a uniform would consist of.

But she would admit that he did look cool in it.

"How's it going?" He asked, stretching a hand to place around her shoulders, "What school do you think you're going to now that they don't want you?"

Aoi made a small growl-like noise at the back of her throat and pinched him on his cheek. Hard.

"OW!" He shouted out, startling a few pigeons in the vicinity, "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Let goooo!" They were standing now, and Aoi finally let go of him. The boy rubbed his cheek and feigned hurt. "What was that for?"

"For being such a jerk!" Aoi retorted, sticking out her tongue at her childhood friend, "and don't act hurt, you big baby. I know you're good at fighting and that you've had worse."

Sho was someone that someone who had the Social standing of Aoi in Society wasn't supposed to mix with. Her father was the Chief of police, her mother a high class show hostess and ex model and her step father the owner of a five star hotel in the area. She was told that she didn't 'belong' with Sho in that side of town and her step brother 100% disapproved of them even being friends.

The thing was that Aoi didn't care. She only cared about her friends and family, not about her Social Standing and whatever rubbish that came her way.

"Hey want some takoyaki?" Sho asked suddenly, pointing to a small shack at the side of the pathway. Aoi laughed – Sho was like a little kid with a short attention span, though he was in the 'in' group in Ara high, as one of the leader's best friends. They had probably gone off downtown to the arcades or something while Sho met up with her.

They approached the stall, and the Ara High student jumped up with excitement and ordered two boxes, before freezing and turning around. "Uh…. Oops? I forgot that I'm broke currently…"

Aoi sighed, before digging in her pocket and fishing a few yen. "Excuse me, but we'll make it one instead. I only have enough money to pay for one." The two store holders nodded understandingly. One was a very round man with no hair and hardly any neck and the other was a tall man with slicked back hair and a moustache.

"In dates I thought it was the boy who'd treat the girl," The fat one muttered while the other looked at him in horror and hit him on the head without any hesitation. "Minoru! Don't dig into other people's business!"

Aoi giggled slightly while Sho's face flared a bright pink. They sat down on the bench in front of the small store and begun sharing the packet of takoyaki. It tasted very good - Even better than those stores in the Luxury dinning line that her family seemed to like to treat her to.

"Hey, are you free for the rest of the day?" Sho spoke up, his mouth partially full with Takoyaki. "Wanna go downtown with me? We haven't gone out together – as friends – since you joined that horrible independent school."

Aoi rolled her eyes. She didn't have school tomorrow anyway. "Sure. Go drag me off to some fun place then."
