I decided to rewrite this story. I hope you like the newer version of this.
It was 7:30 A.M.
Teenagers were seen roaming the streets as they hurried to school. Among the crowd, carrying a little sleeping boy in her arms, was Maiko Uzi.
She seemed in a more hurry than the other students. She unusually like school, which made people make fun of her, although they respected her most of the time, since she was the most valuable player on the Girls' soccer team.
Maiko always seemed to have bruises around her body. She had them on her stomach, legs, and arms and sometimes her face. People always asked where they came from, which she always responded that they came from soccer practice.
Everyone could tell that she had a secret. Many people tried to get the secret out of her, but they all failed. Only her best friend, Ken, knew the secret, but he was very loyal and never told anyone.
Maiko always brought her 6 year-old brother, Aki, 30 minutes early to school. At the Elementary school, they had a program that taught kids if they came too early. Only a few kids attended, because school is obviously not fun to almost everyone.
"Aki, wake up!" Maiko whispered loudly to her brother when she got to the elementary school. The high school was two blocks away.
Aki rubbed his eyes and yawned. The young boy also had bruises, but only a few. And most of them were barely visible.
"I'm awake." The sudden energetic Aki said as he jumped onto the ground. "See you later, Maiko!" He exclaimed as he went to his friend, who was in the early teaching program.
~At Orange Star High School~
Maiko sighed as she got out all the books and papers for the next class. She knew she had soccer practice and she had more bruises than usual.
"Is he still giving you a hard time?" A male voice suddenly asked. Maiko already knew who it was.
"I don't want to talk about here, Ken." Maiko said.
Ken had messy dark brown hair with caramel-ish color around the center of his hair. He had a semi-athletic body. He wore red shirt with blue jeans and black shoes.
"Fine, I was just asking a simple question. It was not like I saying the…" Ken stopped before he said anything else.
"He still is." Was Maiko's answer she went to class, followed by Ken.
~Social Studies~
Maiko sat down at her seat as she took out her textbook. As usual, Erasa was still talking a mile a minute to Ken. It was quite obvious she had a crush on him.
Maiko liked Ken, but only as a friend. She never liked him any further.
"Good morning class!" exclaimed the voice of Ms. Hamilton. "Good morning, Ms. Hamilton." The class recited.
"Okay, class today we have a new student. His name is Gohan Son. He got perfect scores on all of his tests, so maybe you can learn from him." Ms. Hamilton introduced him.
Gohan turned out to be a quite attractive boy, but his body was scrawny and his clothing were definitely gonna cause him some bullying.
Maiko heard snickers coming from the room. She turned and saw Ken snickering a bit too.
"Okay, Gohan, you can sit next to Erasa." Ms. Hamilton decided as she pointed to the empty seat next to Erasa.
"Oh, crap," thought Maiko. "Erasa gonna go full blast flirt on him." Maiko's thought came true when Erasa began to talk like crazy to the poor boy.
Maiko continued to look at him, swearing that she seen his face somewhere. She accidently dropped her pencil off her desk.
Although the pencil made a very tiny sound, Gohan heard it and looked under his seat. "Is this yours?" the polite voice of Gohan asked Maiko as he held her pencil.
"Yeah, thanks." Maiko answered quickly as she got her pencil and began to work.
"Did I ever meet that girl/boy?" The two thought as they did their work.
~Gym~
"Okay, let's play some clean baseball." the coach said as he chose the team captains.
"Sharpner and Videl, you're the team captains, so chose your players." The coach ordered.
"Ha, Gohan has to be on your team, Videl." Sharpner snickered to Videl as she scowled. "It's okay, Videl." Erasa said to her best friend. "I bet Gohan can think of good plans to help us win."
Maiko was on Sharpner's team and it was her turn at bat. She had a strong arm and a very good aim. Videl let out a very strong throw and Maiko made it to third base.
Maiko sat at the bench, thinking about the past. She was an orphan, since her parents were killed. She remembered how they loved to have picnics at Mount Paozu and how she explored the forest.
That how she met a boy, a very smart boy who knew stuff that some middle school kids didn't even know. The boy never told her his name, but she told him hers.
They became close friends, and Maiko had a small, little kid crush on him. The weird thing was that the boy taught her some martial arts. She even taught how to make her energy into this blasts.
When Maiko's parents died, she never went back to Mount Paozu. She lived in West City, a place very far from Mount Paozu.
Maiko remembered how she came back home from Elementary school only to find her parents bloody bodies on the floor, dead. Little, little Aki was crying like mad in his crib.
When people came to tell Maiko her parents' will, she found out who was going to take of her. It was her…
"Oh my god!" Maiko's head perked up, losing her thoughts. She looked at the sky, since everyone was, and gasped. Gohan was about 50 feet in the air, with the baseball in his glove.
~End of the day~
Maiko got her homework and textbooks from her locker and stuffed them in her backpack. She hated going home.
"I wish you good luck." Ken's voice said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He always did this, which Maiko didn't mind. Besides, the kisses made her feel a bit better.
Maiko walked to elementary school, where she saw Aki waiting for her. Aki was always silent when they were going home. It was Fridays that were never silent. They were allowed to go to a friend's house and stay there for the night.
Maiko hesitated when they go to their home. She slowly turned the door knob, getting ready for the terror she was gonna face.
