Journey toward Love
Chapter 1
"Kyoko! Get your lazy butt out of bed!"
"…What time is it…?"
"It's almost time for school! We only have 30 minutes to get there!"
"WHAT! Why didn't you wake me up earlier!"
"I overslept! I told you we shouldn't have gone to that party!"
"Shut up and go make our lunches, Kaname! I'll be ready in about 10 minutes!"
Hi, my name's Kyoko Maeda. I'm a freshman at Sakura high. Thanks to my wanting to go to a party, my twin sister, Kaname, and I are running later for school. Why do I have to be such an idiot…?
"Thanks a lot, Kyoko. Now we have detention."
"I'll make it up to you somehow, Kaname." I said, using my same excuse for the hundredth time.
"Ok then…this weekend we're going out with Mio for a group date." Kaname said with a twisted smile knowing I hate group dates.
"But I promised Eiji that I'd go to the movies with him!" Yet another
excuse. My number one talent; making excuses for everything.
"Sorry, but you'll have to cancel. Besides, you might meet a great guy!" Kamane's number one talent; convincing me into going on group dates.
"…Fine, I'll go…"
"Thanks, Kyoko! I promise you won't regret it! Well…at least I hope you won't…"
"Yeah, let's hope it's not like the last one…"
"Yeah…we better hurry back to class if were any later than we are now, 's gonna have a fit!"
"That'd be funny…" I chuckled
"Kyoko…Kaname…you're late!" starts off, again, with his lecture.
"Sorry, sir…" Kaname and I said, in sync.
"Let me guess…another party?" says in a calm tone, sarcastically.
"…uh…yes, sir…" again, in sync.
"That's not a good excuse!" 's first level of anger begins
"Use your brains! Always think 10 steps ahead of you actions! Your mother would be upset with the both of you if she were still alive!"
Second level.
"We're really sorry, sir…" We said in a low voice.
"As punishment you both clean the classroom all week and help the new student around the school tomorrow!"
New student? Heh, fresh meat…I wonder if it's another girl…?
"What's the new kid's name, Satomi?" I asked rudely to get him even madder.
"HIS name is Satoshi Hio. He's transferring here from America." said with a little anger.
"So he's American?" I asked with curiosity.
"No. He's originally from Hakodate, but his father was transferred to America for a job promotion." I think I just saw a little bit of joy in 's eyes…
"I'm really sorry we were late, …" The same routine as always…I'll let Kaname get us out of this mess just this once…
"Well…uh…d-don't let it happen again and you won't have to clean the classroom…" The little sucker fell for it.
"But you still have to help the new kid tomorrow."
*sigh*…Oh well, it's just one thing.
