Chapter 1: What Life Gives You
"Wake up!"
"Zzzzzz…"
"Wake up!"
"Zzzzzzz…"
"Wake up Netto-kun!"
"CRASH!" Fifteen-year-old Hikari Netto landed on the floor. He got out of bed, not in a good mood. His eyes were still half-closed and there was a hint of annoyance in his breathing.
"Morning Netto! Rockman cheerfully said from within the boy's blue PET.
"Morning yourself…" Netto got up off the floor and trudged down the hall to the washroom.
He stared at his reflection in the mirror as he brushed his teeth, his eyes were red and his hair was all messy. Grabbing a comb, Netto brushed at his hair while still moving the toothbrush to the corner of his mouth.
"Breakfast is ready!" a voice called from below and Netto instantly finished his daily routine.
He rushed back down the hall and grabbed his backpack and PET, running down the stairs and into the kitchen. He planted himself right in his chair and dug into his food. His mother had made his favourite breakfast, a plate full of delicious, mouth-watering pancakes. It only took him several minutes to finish the whole plate.
His mother shook her head and sighed. Netto was about to make a run for the door when his mother shoved a slice of toast into his mouth. That didn't stop him though, he opened the door and dashed towards the school.
He managed to get into his seat three seconds before the bell rang. The door of the classroom opened to reveal Netto's teacher, Mariko-sensei. She was wearing a purple shirt and a matching skirt. Her hair had been let down a bit more than usual, but that didn't make any difference anyway.
"How am I going to get through this day?" Netto sighed.
-----------------------------------------------
Of course, Netto did make it through most of the day, his break finally coming at Lunch. He sat in the same seat he always has, next to all his friends: Meiru, Dekao, Yaito and Tohru.
"H-ey, di…d you guys here about t...ha…t new water parks that's ju…st open…ed?" Netto was chewing at his food and there were bits of meatloaf flying out of his mouth and onto his lunch tray.
"Eeeeeew! Netto, chew with your mouth closed" Meiru complained, "It's so disgusting!"
Netto knew that she didn't mean what she said, he knew that she had a crush on him ever since they were kids. Netto usually played along with her just to annoy Dekao, but deep-down inside, he didn't really have the same feelings for her.
"Yeah I heard of it!" Yaito spoke up.
How she even understood what he said was a mystery, but no one cared.
"It's supposed to have the longest water slide in all of Japan, and I hear they've got the best concession stands in town!"
"You seem pretty interested," Tohru laughed "Hey, how's about we check it out after school?"
"Yeah, that'd be cool!" everyone agreed.
The bell rang, signalling all the students to get back to class.
"Netto, come on, you don't want to clap erasers after class again do you?" Meiru asked. "We might have to leave for the water park without you."
"Huh, we're going to the water park?" he replied.
"Of course we are! Weren't you listening to what we just said?"
In reality, Netto hadn't been listening to anything. He was too preoccupied listening to the sweet tone of Tohru's voice. Netto secretly had a crush on him, his voice always seemed to brighten his day, and he was a good Netbattler too. Just thinking about it made him blush, but he hid away for Meiru's piercing gaze.
