" I've never loved you , I only used you to get close to him because he was your best friend !"

The words echoed in my head and I realized I was falling into a sea of darkness .

Ring~~~~~!

My eyes opened at the sound of my alarm clock . I was lying down on my bed with my alarm clock ringing on my bedside . I Shut it off and sat up on my bed . What a dream , how many times must it be repeated . I placed my hands on my forehead to tell myself to get a grip on myself , then I got down from my bed and prepared for school . Today it's the first day of my second year in high school . I brushed my teeth and put on my uniform .

"Why must high school students wear a tie?" I said while adjusting my tie and grumbled . I walked out of my room in my apartment to a empty and quiet living room . I am living alone in a apartment now as my parents are divorced . My mother got remarried and is now living with her new family while my father is now around the world . Basically , I am left here in japan to fend for myself . I walked to the kitchen and grabbed myself a bread and a glass of milk and I headed out for seishun high school , sister school of seishun middle school . I walked along the street , eating my piece of bread . As I walked on the road to school I could hear whispers and people gossiping .

"There he is .."

"He's handsome but I can't believe he cheated on his ex girlfriend and betrayed his best friend.."

Its been happening for a while now . Ever since I broke up with her , rumors started to spread , rumors like I betrayed him or I cheated on her . What a sick joke , when he was the one who betrayed me , and she was the one who cheated on me . I didn't care anyways , they can talk all they want , so long as I know the truth . I was at the entrance of the school when I heard at rather disgusting voice..

"Sakuno , I really envy you ! Aww I wished I had a boyfriend Like momoshiro-senpai too !" Osakada shouted with that sharp voice of hers . They were there with the regulars of the tennis team and they were all crowding around the entrance of the school . She was there holding hands with him . Great , now I have to make my way through those people . I walked towards them and walked through the group which made them speechless .

"hmm , flirting so early in the morning .." I shoved through the group .

"What the hell is wrong with you , you jerk ! You cheated on sakuno with some random girl and now you're giving us the attitude just because she's got someone better then you !" Osakada pointed her finger at me and shouted at the top of her voice . Everyone turned to look at us . I cheated on her ? Are you kidding me ?! I turned around and gave her a deadly glare .

"I cheated on her ? Well if that's what you think .." I glared at her and walked away slowly when a hand grabbed my shoulder . I turned and look behind me . Momoshiro-senpai . What does he want now ?

"Echizen , you really should know your mistake , and atone for-"

"Shut up ! I don't want to hear anything from you !" I shoved his hand away and walked away as fast as I could . What the hell ?! He was the bastard that betrayed me , and what , he wants me to atone for my mistake ?! How could I atone for the mistake that I never did ?! He was the one that sakuno had loved all this while , even when she was with me . He was the one that sakuno had used me for to get to . They were secretly in love behind my back ! So what the hell was that all about !I made my way to the parade square to check the class I was posted in . Why the hell must the school change classes every year ? 'BUMP!"

"Ow.." I fell on the floor after bumping into an unknown person . I looked and saw one of the tennis team regulars , Arai-senpai..He glared at me with two other members of the tennis team .

"What do you want ?"

"You were pretty rude to our vice-captain just now ." Oh right I forgot that tezuka buchou , oishi-senpai ,Fuji-senpai, kikumaru-senpai , kawamura-senpai and Inui-senpai had all graduated last year . Well not like it mattered , they all believed momoshiro-senpai and his lies anyways .

"So what ? He's not my vice-captain .." I quit-ed the tennis club 2 years ago .

"Speak respectively to your senpai ! We're going to teach you a lesson now !" the three of them grabbed me by the collar and dragged me to a corner of the school where they kicked me and punched me all over . After ten minutes of beating , they finally left and I was covered in bruises .

"This will tell you how to respect your senpai next time !"

I laid down on the ground and tried to stand up . There were bruises all over my body . Well this is expected , I was never liked by the whole school ever since that incident happened .And I never trusted anyone ever again. I gathered my energy and walked to the direction of the nurse's office when I collapsed again . I was about to hit the ground when I felt hands around my shoulder , preventing me from falling .

"Are you okay ?!"

I looked up to see a girl with bright orange long hair and green emerald eyes looking at me with a worried face . I shoved myself away from her "Stay away from me . I don't need any help !" I Staggered to get back on my feet and walked away slowly when she came over and grabbed my elbow .

"But you're hurt ! And you can barely walk ! I'll take you to the nurse's office !" She pulled me towards the school's nurse's office .

"SENSEI ! ARE YOU THERE ? HE'S HURT BADLY!" the mysterious girl shouted at the top of her voice . Ah her voice is even louder than osakada's voice . The nurse then came out with a horrid look on her face .

"Oh my god , what happen , here take a seat while I get the fist aid supplies ." The nurse pulled me and asked me to sit down on the chair while she ran to get some supplies . The girl then bent down and told me

"I'll leave it to the nurse now okay ? I have to be in class now , i'll see you sometime !" She ran out of the nurse's office and closed the door shut . What is with her ? Doesn't she know that i'm the biggest 'jerk' in school ? The nurse came back and tended to my wounds . My hand was bandaged and my left cheek was pasted with a pad to stop the bleeding . I went to the office to find out where my class was and I found out that i was still in the same class , wonderful , with sakuno and tomoka ...Just my luck .. I walked to class during lunch break and everyone stared at me when I walked through the hallways . I opened up the door to my classroom and there was total silence followed by some whispers .

"look he's injured ."

"Maybe he got into a fight ?"

"wahh what a loser .."

Even though they were whispers , I could hear them clearly , I went over to my seat and sat down and I took my books out . They continued to ignore me after a while and went back to their chats . As usual , no one came to talk to me . Well , I kind of like it that way . When I heard the stupid voice again . Osakada was walking in with sakuno . Then she had eye contact with me and she shouted .

"Ahh Look , it's the loser from this morning ! He's all bruised up ! He's really a loser , he can't even protect himself !" She started laughing . The whole class burst in to laughter and sakuno just kept quiet there , heh , probably guilty to even laugh . The door slid open and I saw the girl from this morning .

"What's everyone laughing about ?"

"Ah Chiyo ! We're laughing about that guy over there ." One of them pointed to me .

"Yeah , he's such a loser , he can't even protect himself !" Another started laughing and the laughter went on and on . I was about to stand up and leave the class , well not that I mind them laughing , I just hated the noise . Then , I heard a loud bang on the table .

"What's so funny about that ?! I don't think he's a loser at all !"

I looked up and saw her in front of the teachers desks and looking pissed off .

"He's already injured ! Instead of laughing at him , why can't you all be more caring and ask if he's okay ?! We're all classmates aren't we ?!"

The whole class went silent and then they started to apologized .

"Sorry chiyo ."

"yeah we're really sorry ..please forgive us ."

I was stunned , one sentence and the class was like a little puppy . What the hell is this ? Who is this girl ? Then she came over to my desk .

"Hi , we meet again , wah I didn't know you were in my class ." I stayed silent and stared at her . I continued to ignored her and looked away when she held out her hands to me .

"I'm Takanishi Chiyo , you are ?"

I ignored her handshake but I looked back at her .

"Echizen ..ryoma .."

OMG ! I AM DONE FINALLY ! I hope it wasn't too bad though . Thank For reading !
