Chapter 1

Youmi was curled up on her bed unaware of the sunshine pouring through the open window into her bedroom. Youmi's brown eyes were thoughtful as she tapped her "writing pen". She loved writing but it was only now that she found it extra special, requiring her serious attention, especially now that she is writing to her bestfriend.

Youmi's "meditation" was disturbed by the sound of running footsteps and loud banging on her door. Before she even had a chance to say a word, the door burst open and her cousin, Kishi, came flying to her room.

"Youmi!!" Kishi gasped, trying to catch her breath. "Will you do me the biggest favor and make dinner tonight? I promised a friend I would go with her to today. She wants me to teach her and her other friend for the up coming examinations. I really need this job. You know."

Youmi snorted and closed her laptop before her sister sees what she had written down. "Hey, I'm really busy, Kishi," she protested. "Besides, I made dinner every night last week…" She let her voice trail off meaningfully. Suddenly, her sister gave her "the face", a desperate, pleading expression that she can't say no to.

"Alright," she gave out a sigh. "But this is the last time okay. And I mean, LAST time. You have to pay for all of those days that you were suppose to wash the dishes, make the dinner, set the table, do the…."

"Okay, okay. I get it. I'll do it tomorrow." Then phone ringed. "Oh, it must be one if the gang. Later!!" she called over her shoulder as she disappeared from the room.

Youmi just shook her head hoping and praying that one day her cousin will be dependable enough to handle all her responsibilities at home. She just sighed. And continued doing her letter.

YouMi had a long-term relationship with a wonderful guy named Shin. It might have been better if her father didn't send her here. It was very difficult for the both them. They are trying to maintain their relationship, agreeing that neither of them will date any one else and have constant communication. Now, Shin calls and emails had somehow lessened and she wants to know what's wrong.

She sent her best friend an email asking what's up with Shin, why he isn't calling her often and stopped sending her emails. It has been already one week and three days since Shin had last call her and he didn't gave her any emails either.

"Maybe he's just busy with his studies." Youmi thought. "Well, I'll just send this message. Just to make sure."

After turning off her laptop, she went to bathroom, and prepared herself for her first day in school.

It's been about a week since I first stepped my foot here. I look at my self in the mirror. I looked like a typical Japanese girl. I happened to be born in Canada, has shoulder length, raven-colored hair, almond-shaped ehai like two pieces of coal and has a fair complexion. I fixed my ponytail and was off to go to my new school.

Shohoku high school

"Good Morning class." our professor said as he tapped his table to get the classes' attention. "Today we have a new transferee and her name is –"

"Youmi, Youmi Aritama"

"Youmi, please do tell something about yourself "

"I'm from Vancouver, Canada. I like to draw, read novels, plays sports and would like people to leave me alone and let me mind my own business. Please to meet you all." Youmi said coldly, bowing. Everybody in the class was quiet after she said that. The professor stared at her skeptically. All I'm saying is that, I like to have some "quiet" time with my self. I don't want people bugging and asking stupid questions about me.

"Okay. Now that we've all met our transferee, you two may now take your seat at the third row."

SHE went to her place first and started unloading her bag. She took her seat while everyone was staring at her.

"Okay class, turn your biology books to page 98…" the professor said.

RRRiiinnnnggggg…

Thank goodness, the classes are finally over… Youmi thought putting her books in the locker ad then closed the door. While walking along the corridor, she saw a sign pointing to the Library. After taking a few moments, she decided to head that direction.

A guy in spectacles is paving his way to the library carrying a bunch of books. Concentrating on keeping the books balanced, he wasn't able to see a girl on the other direction reading while on foot.

Bang!!..

All the books were scattered on the floor. The two fell on the floor along with their books. The guy searched for his glasses while the girl was straightening her self up. Both of them started to collect the books.

"Gomen." The guy said as he picks up the last book. "Daijobu?"

"Hai, I'm fine." she replied as she stands up Then, she looked at me and her eyes suddenly widen.

Hey, Is there something in my face? The guy thought. "Gomen" he bowed a little. "I'll be going now… Jan ne! " he called over as he run to the direction of the Library.

It can't be him. Or is it? Wait, it can't be Shin, he's in Canada, miles away from here. It just can't be. I'm just making a fool of my self. Youmi thought This is bad. I'm starting to see things. She tapped her head lightly.

Then she noticed something on the floor. Youmi picked it up a read the name on the card. KIminobu Kogure I have to return this to him. Youmi Started to walk when she saw a girl passed her by.

"Anou… Excuse me." she called. The girl turned to her. "Yes?"

"I found this a while ago." Youmi held the ID so that the other girl can see. "I'm kinda new and I don't really know where the lost and found section is…"

The other girl studied the id a said "This is Kogure sempai's ID. He's at the gym right now, practicing with the rest of the team" She returned the ID back to YOumi. "I'm going their now. You just follow me so you can return it personally to him." Youmi nodded and went with her.

"By the way, I'm Ayako." she added, bowing a little. "We're in the same class. We are just two seats apart you know."

"Gomen. I didn't notice" Youmi apologized "I'm YOUmi Aritama. Nice to meet you Ayako-chan"

At the gym, Ayako approached Coach Anzai And handed him the team's stats. She then approached Kogure who was doing his warm ups with the rest of the team.

"Kogure sempai!!" Ayako-chan said. "Someone wants to talk to you." She pointed at someone who was talking with Coach Anzai. "Captain, I'll just talk to someone." I asked permission from Captain Akagi. He just nods his head.

"Oi, Kogure don't keep your girlfriend waiting" Hanamichi Sakuragi, the self-proclaimed genius said. "Hey, if you ever want some tips bout girls, you can always ask from the genius. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"Do'aho" the ice prince suddenly said.

"Why you!!!" Sakuragi said as Mitsui and Miyagi holds him back.

"You go now Kogure. We have it under control." Mitsui said.

"Okay." KOgure replied as I run to the direction where this girl and coach Anzai was. I wonder what she wants. "Hey." I said. Her chat with coach seems to be over. She just stared at KOgure and then her face whitens. It's as if she saw a ghost or something. why is she staring me that way? "Its you…Gomen for what happened a while ago…" No reply. She handed me something. "Oh, it's my ID. Thanks. I must have slipped when we bumped into each other." Still, no reply. "Arigato!"

Why is she gazing at me that way? It makes me feel anxious. Wait, what did she said her name was? As KOgure turn around and was about to ask her, her name. She suddenly fainted and slid to the ground. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and then she went completely limp. "Hey, guys some help here!" I called over to my teammates as I ran and knelt down next to her.

Changes:

NO more Vency, Imsha, and Mimi. (O.C.s)

Mike is now Shin.

I also change some parts of the "bumping" scene.

Ayako is now the one who help Youmi.

I also deleted a lot of parts.
