Chapter one. The Stranger.
"So this is it?" The little girl asked staring in awe at the huge building. The little boy standing next to her adjusted his cap for the millionth time, nodded and a gruff 'Mhm' escaped his lips. "Well I guess I'll be attending here too!" He quickly snapped his neck to face her and she flashed him a big toothy smile.
"Why would you go to Rikkaidai?"
"Because you're my best friend and I don't want you to leave me!" She exclaimed and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"Stop calling me that!" He blushed, "and get off!"
"It's okay to admit it! Let's face it, you would be lost without me!" She laughed and linked arms with him. Being a nervous little kid he blushed again, tugged his cap over his eyes and shoved his hands in his pockets just in case this crazy little girl tried to hold his hand. Gross!
"Let's go." He said pulling her swiftly, the little girl just smiled bright as ever.
.ooOoo.
"That's a nice breeze isn't it, Sanada?" A blue haired boy looked at him and just chuckled lightly. He carefully placed his hand on his shoulder disrupting him from his thoughts. "We're going to be late." Sanada snapped out of his other world and acknowledged his best friend with a simple nod. Sanada immediately started walking towards the gates of Rikkaidai like he was on a mission. For three years now, it's been the same pattern. Sana- His thoughts were broken, just as Sanada's had been, when a tiny but firm girl ran into him with the force of a truck. A bunch of unnecessary gasps erupted from the onlookers mouths as they watched the scenario. The boy was laid out like a pancake and somehow the girl awkwardly landed on top of him causing more gasps. He rubbed his head and got a good look at the strange girl. When she pushed back her deep brown hair away from her face she reviled a very nice porcelain type complexion accented with big blood red eyes, a perfectly sculpted nose and a tiny set of cherry stained lips. She stared back into his blue eyes as a slight breeze kissed both of them. His blue wavy hair brushed against his fair complexion and a slight smile rose across his face.
"Get off of him you idiot!" A girl yelled as she yanked the girl off of him by the back of her collar. "Are you stupid?! I can't be-" The girl just blinked in awe at the bold chick screaming her head off at her not even caring what words passed through her big mouth. She shifted her attention back to the boy as two girls helped him up. "Uhm hello? Are you even listening to me?!" The girl held her stare at the boy almost hypnotized and it wasn't because of his beauty. "Stupid!" The loud yelling chick pulled her hand back ready to make the "idiot" pay attnetion to her but a gently hand quickly stopped her.
"That's quite unnecessary. I'm fine, it was all an accident."
"But Yuki-!" The girl tried to plead with him but he just lifted up his hand signaling for her to stop. Handsome face with blue hair picked up both of their belongings and approached the statue. Lightly flicking her on the forehead he asked if she was okay. She shook her head out of the trance and grabbed the hand that flicked her. The boy flinched since she grabbed a little too tight and he didn't know if he could take back his hand even if he wanted to. She quickly rotated his arm to glance at his watch.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" She screamed as she retrieved her bag from him and ran towards the building. Everyone had their jaw glued to the floor confused about what on Earth just happened. The blue haired boy giggled and made his way towards the building too.
.ooOoo.
"It's not like you to be late Yukimura." Sanada spoke as he sat next to him.
"When you left I had an accident."
"An accident?"
"Yes, some girl ran into me and knocked me straight on my butt. She caused quite the scene."
"Tarundoru!" Yukimura just laughed quietly and shrugged.
*After school*
"Are you ready Yukimura?" The blue haired boy nodded at his vice captain who was now dressed in the Rikkaidai tennis uniform and also wearing his beloved signature cap. They started heading to the courts with a few other regulars as others were setting up the table where new members could apply. Everything was going smoothly until a loud crash caught everyone's attention. Sanada fumed and headed over to the scene while Yukimura, despite being the captain, casually strolled behind him. The rest of the regulars, uninterested, continued their practice. Papers were flying all over, the students were murmuring and after they all stepped aside for the vice captain his eyes fell on a girl who was laid out on the now broken table.
"Owww my butt!" She whined gently touching it. The boys stared at the beauty which God had "sent" them. Sanada's usual stoic expression had changed. Was one of Rikkaidai's "Big Three" actually.. shocked?
"Ikeda?"
"S-Sanada?" Her eyes lit up and she quickly jumped on him for a hug. He blushed slightly but did not return the hug, as his ego was holding him back, so she just dangled from his neck. The members gasped at the sight of the strong, scary vice captain being treated in such manner. Yukimura finally caught up and witnessed this strange scene himself. He clapped a few times and the attention turned to him instantly.
"What are you standing around for? Clean up this mess!" He commanded with his stern but feminine voice. Everyone quickly snapped into gear following their captain's orders. The girl let go of her ninja grip on Sanada and approached Yukimura. She got on her tippy toes, nose up barely reaching his chin. She brought her eyebrows together in confusion before she grabbed Yukimura's green headband off his head and changed her expression to a smile like she unwrapped a present.
"Hey! You're that guy from before!" She sounded extremely excited for no apparent reason. He smiled down at her.
"That's correct." Yukimura broke eye contact and looked at Sanada who was still blushing. "Sanada this is the girl who I was telling you about. The one who caused the commotion this morning. She disappeared from both of their sights and jumped out from behind Sanada stealing his hat in the process.
"Still childish as always." She just smiled and laughed placing the cap on her head.
"You know her?" Sanada sighed and nodded.
"My childhood friend. Ikeda Akira." He said with a slight smile which even he couldn't hide.
End chapter one.
