Sovereign64: My first story of 2014! This is a story idea which I actually shelved it for a few years because I was waiting for the right category to post this story under. Eventually, I chose Tales of Vesperia which is one of my all-time favorite JRPGs. ^^ Not to mention I'm a huge Yuri Lowell fan and I always wanted to write a story that has him as the main character. XD Anyways, without further ado, here's The Band. Enjoy.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Yuri groans as the alarm clock placed right next to his bed rang. He slowly lifts his arm up and then swings it down onto the alarm clock, stopping the ringing.
Yuri then rose up from his bed with his eyes half-closed and his long dark purple hair falling down to his waist level.
He pushes some hair strands away from his eyes and turns to his clock. When he sees the time, he lets out a yell and his eyes widen to the size of dinner plates.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!"
The Band
Chapter 1: First Day of School
Yuri bursts out of his room, now dressed in his school uniform which consists of a long-sleeved dark blue jacket with a white buttoned shirt underneath it, a black belt with a silver buckle and dark green pants. He takes out his band and uses his other hand to grab his hair. He then wraps the band around his hair and it is now tied to a ponytail.
Yuri then straightens his jacket and sighs. "Yuri Lowell, this is your first day back to high school and you mustn't be late!"
He walks down the staircase and enters the dining room to his left. Inside the room was a woman with long brown hair, dressed with an apron and washing her frying pan at the sink.
"Hey mom! Why didn't you wake me up?!" Yuri yelled as he walks over to the table and sees pancakes placed on it. "Ooohh, pancakes."
"You're 16 years old now Yuri. You should learn to wake up by yourself." His mother replied as she turns her head to her son. She then narrows her eyes angrily when she sees Yuri picking up a pancake with his hand. "Hey! You haven't even wash your hands!"
"Do I look like I got time to wash my hands?" Yuri said, looking up at his mother. He then folds the pancakes and eats it.
"Did you remember to take everything with you?" His mother asked as she turns off the tap.
"Yes mom." Yuri smiled and he walks over to her. "I love you mom."
"Love you too." His mother nods her head before Yuri plants a kiss on her forehead.
"Goodbye." Yuri waves goodbye to his mother as he walks out of the dining room.
"Bye." His mother said as she waves back at him. She smiles as she watches her son walks over to the door. 'Honey…you should see how much our son has grown.'
Just as Yuri places his hand on the doorknob, he stopped. Then he turns around and runs up the staircase.
"I FORGOT MY SCHOOL BAG!" He shouted.
His mother groans as she wakes her head, and then she simply laughed.
Meanwhile, the students walk into Vesperia High School, ready to start their first day of a new term in school after the end of their summer break.
At the entrance, Flynn Scifo, a boy with messy blonde hair, is standing outside the school waiting for Yuri. He adjusts his glasses before looking down at his watch. Like Yuri, he's dressed in a dark blue jacket which is buttoned up. But he also wears a red tie underneath it and wears a white band around his right upper arm to indicate he's a member of the school committee.
"Flynn!"
Flynn turns his head to the right and sees Yuri running over to him with a smirk on his face. Yuri stops in front of Flynn who said to him, "Yuri, you're two minutes late."
Yuri catches his breath for a moment before looking up at Flynn. "Come on Flynn, two minutes ain't that bad."
"A good student must always be punctual Yuri. You know that." Flynn said as he places his hands on his hips.
"Thank you Mr. Scifo, I'll remember to put that in my memoirs." Yuri rolls his eyes. Flynn then chuckles and gestures him to go inside the school.
"Come on, let's go." He said as he and Yuri turn and walk their way to school.
As Yuri stuffs his free left hand into his pocket, Flynn turns to him and asked, "So Yuri, have you decided which ECA you want to join after your last one disbanded?"
Yuri shrugged. "Sorry Flynn, still can't decide."
Flynn sighs. "Three months of summer break and you still couldn't decide which ECA you want to join."
"I'm sorry Flynn but there's really no other ECA I could think of which tops Judo." Yuri said.
"Yuri, you need to make your final decision before the end of the first week of school. Otherwise, you won't get extra points for your end-of-the-year school report."
"Don't worry Flynn, I'll think of something."
"Will you?"
Yuri turns to Flynn and smirks. "I always will, don't I?"
