CHAPTER ONE: The Rejection

Shin Sawada, an eighteen year-old fourth year high school student of Shirokin Gakuin (an exclusive private boys school), is the leader of Class 3-D which is widely known for dumbest and toughest class in school.

He is a silent but tough guy who loves sleeping and ignoring teachers while having classes. He sits at the back of the class with his best friends Haruhiko Uchiyama, a tall blonde guy, Noda, a fashionable one, Minami, a playboy, and Teruo Kumai a.k.a Kuma, probably the closest to him, is a big, fat and blonde guy. . Even though he has sturdy attitudes he is quite handsome and cute too (being cute and handsome are two different things for me… hehe). He was transferred to Shirokin Gakuin when he was in first year because one of his teachers was found hardly beaten by him.

All of them get into trouble until someone came. The one they thought that could treat like the others is finally on their lives. They thought that this girl is just an ordinary teacher who gets easily annoyed and can be turned down easily. But as the time goes on, she proved to them that they are all wrong.

Yamaguchi Kumiko, a 23-year-old teacher, is assigned to be the adviser of the Class 3-D. She is known as "Yankumi" by the class 3-D, Yamaguchi-sensei by her co-faculty members and Ojou by the Ooedo clan. Everybody thought that she is just a weird looking teacher but they don't know that she is a respected member (or should I say the future heiress) of a Yakuza family. She is intended to be the fourth generation leader of their family. She is tough too but she decided not to tell anyone that she belonged in that kind of family because she can be fired to her job if they knew where she came from. She turned the life of her tough students upside down.

It has been a few months since she first entered the school. All the things that happened to her were flashed back on her mind. She never knew that she could control her students and they can trust each other. She had get along with her students quite well, even Sawada. She had been close to him the past months and been hanging around with him lately and he knew about her secret being the next leader of the yakuza.

"Sawada!" Yankumi greeted him as she walked along with her cute student. Much to her dismay, he just ignored her and started walking faster so she couldn't catch him up. He didn't even bother to look at her.

"Hey! Wazz up?" she caught up with him while walking too fast that she ended up breathing heavily.

"Oh, Yankumi you're there." pretending not to see her a while ago. He shrugged his shoulders a little when he saw his 'interrupting' teacher.

"Does something bother you? Is it about a girl?" she said teasingly to her cute student. She giggled a bit to hide her too much excitement about his love life.

"Well, it is about that girl in the nearby all girls private high school. I couldn't help but stare at her whenever she passes by my apartment." He finally confessed to her. He held a small smirk when he remembered her cute face as she walks by his apartment every morning.

"So, what's the problem? I mean you're really cute and intelligent and she could have also an eye on you." Yankumi tapped Shin's shoulder as a sign of encouraging her student. She didn't notice the slight frown that etched on Shin's face because she was bewildered by her own excitement that mesmerized her whole personality. She didn't expect him to act like this just because of a girl.

"I don't think so. If she knew that I am one of the 3-D students here in Shirokin, she would probably have busted me." He said with a sigh and irritation is the only thing in his heart.

"Ahhh, Shin… Don't think about negative things. Just go and tell her. And… about that band you and your friends have made… um… I think it's a great idea. About you being the lead singer and guitarist. Oh, it's awesome. I can't wait to see my students being successful in the music industry."

"I wish she could also encourage me. She is a top student there and she has many guys around her. She will probably ignore me." He said while walking ahead of his teacher. He really liked going with Yankumi because she is always open and ready to listen to his problems, even his personal family problems and now… a problem about… LOVE.

"Poor Sawada…" she sighed when she saw her student walk ahead.

Classes were just finished when Shin passed by the school of the girl named Misaki. She is a popular girl in her school. She was just about to go out the gate with her friends when she spotted Shin Sawada by the gate.

He passed by their school and pretended not to see her even if it was really his idea to pass by her school. He wants her to recognize him first so he could get some confidence about her liking him.

"Oh, hi Sawada! Nice seeing you. So… uhhh… what brought you here?" She said wearing her most attractive smile and holding her voice in its most cheerful tone that could almost get the attention of all the guys around.

I almost melted at the sight of her and her voice with those mesmerizing eyes that thrills me to the bones. Well, its now or never so… keep going… Do the moves boy…

"Uhmmm, well I'm just here to say… Oh I mean to go home when I noticed you there… uhmm… since I'm here already… uhhh… uhmmm can I-I walk uhmm… can I walk you home?" Sawada said shyly. Not to mention his many uhhh and uhmmss we can probably tell that he is nervous to death. He has to breathe every now and so he can go home alive. (I can't picture the tough Sawada Shin acting like this.)

He didn't saw Yankumi sneaking through a nearby tree. She is about to go to Tetsu and Minoru's Tokiyaki stand when she noticed Shin was uncomfortably walking back and forth and sneaking at the nearby school.

'I've never seen Sawada so nervous and shy.' She giggled to herself at her student's attitude.

"Oh, a cute guy from Shirokin high school" a friend whispered to her as they all giggled.

"I've heard too that he is from class 3-D of that Shirokin school. Class 3-d is the worst class there... he looks so messy too… It looks like he hasn't combed his hair for centuries…." another girl whispered while the others giggled. Misaki just smirked and look at her other friends.

"He's cute!"

"But there's nothing wrong if I come with him. I kinda like him." Misaki said.

"She's no match for you girl." Her friend told her and gave Sawada a death glare.

"Sawada, I'm sorry but my father's gonna fetch me today. I'm really sorry and I guess you shouldn't try to get along with me and…" Misaki said when she realized her friend was right but before she finished her sentence, Shin was already gone.

"Guess I should see you tomorrow then." He whispered to himself then waved goodbye and frowned for the rejection he accepted. He turned red when he saw everyone stare at him. He felt like everyone is laughing at him because of the rejection. He felt a hot liquid sting in the corner of his eyes. To prevent it from falling and be noticed by people, he walked fast and stood by a nearby tree.

Maybe she is not yet ready. I'm willing to wait… as long as it takes…

'Oh, why did she do that to my student?'

Yankumi was about to run up to Shin then she noticed a tall guy who asked Misaki out. Misaki gladly accepted the offer.

That girl. She'll see then. But I think Sawada will not appreciate if I'll just go there and attack his love. I'll just confront her in the nicest way I could. I'll just pray I wouldn't crush her bones but she just hurt my Shin. It's an honor for me to ruin that cute face of yours…

"Excuse me Misaki. I thought that your father's gonna fetch you. I never thought you could do that to my student. Reject him and go with someone." She mocked her style in talking to let her see the irritations she fells. Yankumi clenched her fists and just can't help herself in gritting to her teeth in anger. She is about to shout and attack her when…

"Excuse me Miss. But he is not just her type. A cute guy with messy hair. I think he came from class 3-D of Shirokin -a class known as 'troublemakers'." A friend of her testified as they all left her. All of her friends were just around because they aim to have the same attention that Misaki achieves from the guys around. But they all seem to be just her puppet.

Cute guy with a messy hair huh! Don't you dare insult my Shin… my Shin… Oh, I mean my student, Shin, to be exact.

Shin turned his back and saw Misaki with another guy. He didn't even noticed Yankumi because he was still traumatized with what he saw and experienced a while ago(he's pretty sensitive, huh). He sighed and headed for the river where he usually goes when he's got something in his mind. The river is the most peaceful place for him-the blue sky, the nice sun and the smooth breeze that touches his silky smooth hair.

How could an angel break my heart… Nice try boy…Better luck next time…Get Misaki out of your mind… She'll just wreck your day…

"I guess that's all for me." He frowned and frowned and frowned.

"Sawada" Yankumi whispered when she poked his cheek with her index finger. He jumped a bit and he was so surprised to see Yankumi there. She laughed hysterically when she saw his expressions. She knocked her fists to the ground because of laughing very hard. She was just trying to make fun of Shin and make him laugh because of what had just happened but instead of him laughing she ended up showing tears because of laughing hysterically.

"Yankumi! What the hell are you doing here you baka! Stop knocking the ground like that. People might think I'm with a crazy girl who just escaped from the mental hospital." Shin glared at her for a moment.

"Oh… I see, you're thinking about her again huh! That girl is pretty lucky…" she said while wiping her tears away.

"You don't know anything. Anything that happened." He continued staring at the sky and reused to look at her.

"I know everything. I saw everything. She doesn't deserve your genuine love." She assured her forlorn student.

"You see! That's all I got. REJECTION. You saw everything! You know that I'm hurt but you're still laughing! You're so dense Yankumi." He gritted his teeth with anger. He finally gave in to his emotions.

"Don't worry. You can find somebody better and more deserving of your affections. You're still young not like me." She felt sorry for her student. "You know I have that thing also for Mr. Shinohara. I know he would never return my affections but I just have to deal with it. You cannot have everything you like. You'll just hurt yourselves both. She will not be happy if she'll be with the guy she doesn't want. Imagine that when the two of you dating but she keeps on thinking another man. Oh… but I'm not saying that you are not such a good guy… You're such sweet indeed and so understanding." She kept on blabbering and blabbering words about her own experience with love even if Shin doesn't pay much attention. He was still busy thinking about Misaki.

He stayed quiet for almost half an hour just staring at the clouds above him and listening to her sweet voice but he heard nothing. Her words don't enter his mind. Just the sound of her voice penetrates his soul and relaxes him.

I told you not to get through that complicated thing called LOVE. It'll just ruin your day… his mind protested.

"Alright. I'll stay outta here. Just don't take it too seriously. Go home early. Bye Sawada!" she finally waved him goodbye after the whole sermon that has exhausted her.

He just stared at her until she reached out of his sight.

0o-0o-0o-0o-0o

Shin has been courting the girl lately until he finally gave up to her. He never knew that it is such so painful to receive such rejection. Imagine, one of the toughest guys in school experienced such rejection from a… girl. He never imagined that only one girl can cause him to think and act strangely. But still, he cannot get Misaki out of his mind.

He has been hanging with Yankumi and visiting her at the Ooedo household since she won't allow him to stay alone in his apartment lately. She has been telling him about that guy named Shinohara. They have been open to one another.

"Enough for my stories Sawada. So how's going on between you and your new band?"

"We are having sometime practices after school."

"That's great. Well I should be going now. It is not right for the people to see a teacher with all alone with a student this late night. Bye Sawada!" she gave her best smile before she turned her back.

He gave his rare sweet smile to her before he went going on his apartment but tough luck she hadn't seen it.

He knew it was just rare times when he has his eye on a girl. His friends knew that too. That's why he takes it too seriously when he is in those 'rare' opportunities. He now felt how his friends felt when they get busted.

I've never been like this before. I always have freedom but there are also times that I was beat by my own emotions. I know that everyone experiences his kind of stuff. How did Kuma, Noda, and Yankumi got through all of this? Yankumi… with that Shinohara… Wait a minute…Yankumi… Yankumi…

Her name was the last thing in his mind before he dozed off to sleep. Tomorrow will be another tough and lonely day for him since it was a weekend.
