How Can This Be!? By Chance
Chapter One: The Encounter
Tokyo Park
4PM
Shojou Akira
"KISHIMOTO AYAME! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO READ THAT FORSAKEN BOOK!? THAT ISN'T FOR PEOPLE OUR AGE!"
I yell at her as I snatch the orange book out of her hands and start ripping it to shreds. I can't believe she found a copy of Icha icha paradise!
"C'mon, Akira-chan! It's not that bad…" she tells me as I throw the shreds away
"How can your parents allow you to even have this book?" I ask her and the expression on her face tells me something's wrong
"They're dead…"
I stop dead in my tracks.
No wonder she's been so depressed lately
"Since when?" I ask
"Last month and you don't have to be sorry… It's okay!" she says as she looks back at me.
I look up and smile. That's my best friend for you! She never shows that she's sad. Just then, a group of boys, I think around 7, are walking towards us. As they near us, my eyes widen in shock. The group just so happens to be the prestigious basketball group, the Generation of Miracles.
"Oi, Ayame-chan! It's them! The Generation of Miracles!" I whisper in her ear as I begin to lose consciousness. Only one thought remains…
HOW CAN THIS BE!?
Kishimoto Ayame
OH MY GOD!The Generation of Miracles are here!? I must interview them. I ditch Akira's unconscious body, grab my pen and notepad and walk up to them and begin to ask the questions
"What are your names?"
"Akashi Seijuro"
"Murasakibara Atsushi"
"Aomine Daike"
"Midorima Shintoru"
"Kise Ryouta"
"Kuroko Tetsuya"
"Kagami Taiga. And you?"
"Kishimoto Ayame... Hobbies?"
"Basketball!"
As I continue to ask questions, Akira wakes up "Ayame-chan? What are you…?"
"Shut up! Busy, interviewing…" I interrupt her. She looks at them and faints again…
"Shouldn't you take your friend home?" Kagami asks
"Nah… She'll wake up soon." I say and continue to interview them until they left.
Akira hasn't gotten up yet. So, I have to carry her home. Lucky for me, it isn't far. Her mom meets us at the gate and calls her father to carry her inside. Her mom invites me in but I refuse saying that I have to go home. She gives me a packed meal
"Arigatou, Shojou-sama!" I say with a genuine smile and leave. I wonder if that girl will wake up soon…
I get to my apartment, eat dinner, take a bath and head off to bed… But at around 10pm, I get a phone call from Akira…
"Hello?"
"Ayame-chan! I had this crazy dream…"
"What was it about?"
"I had a dream where we met the Generation of Miracles…"
"Er… Akira-chan…"
"Hm?"
"Never mind… I'm gonna sleep now… Night!"
"Sorry to disturb! Night, see ya tomorrow!"
I hang up and get the manga book on my bedside, switch on the lamp and begin reading… I just hope she won't kill me for doing this…
NEXT DAY
Unmei Academy
7AM
Akira
Today is my first day of school at Unmei Academy. I put my hair in a ponytail and put on a burgundy short dress with a black belt. I put on a black blazer and knee-high boots. I grab my burgundy sling bag and head off to school. But not before my mom catches me and calls me to the breakfast table. Thankfully, I finish my meal and dash to school. The school is at a walking distance from my house so I didn't have to worry. I get my cellphone and call Ayame.
"Hello?"
"Ayame-chan! Get out of that bed and get ready for school!"
"Akira? You sound like a mom!"
"Hurry up! I want to wear that green short dress I got you last year! Also wear boots and a headband! Hop to it!"
"You're such a nag sometimes, you know that?"
"Whatever! Just do it!"
"Fine… See you in school!"
"Bye!"
Then, I hang up. As I walk through the halls; I hear murmurs and squeals from girls from the first years to third years! I walk over to the cheerleaders.
"Hey, girls! What are you girls chatting about?" I ask
"Haven't you heard, Captain!? There are gonna be some new students!" One of the second year members says
"So? We get new kids every year! What's so special about them?"
"The guys are so hot and the girls are so cool!" a third year exclaims and the others squeal. I know I'm a girly-girl but I don't really mind looks that much! I just roll my eyes at them and walk away while reminding them about practice later that day. I wonder where Ayame is…
Ayame
I'm gonna beso late! If that happens, Akira will kill me!I think as I make a run for it!
I did as she told me but I wear skinny jeans. I found a loophole in her demands. Mwhahahaha! I'm gonna get away with it, yet again.
That is…
If I even get there in time and I don't show any signs that I've been lacking sleep. I get to school with 20 minutes to spare. I ignore the squealing of the girls in the hallways and zip to my classroom. I find Akira in her seat and the one next to her is empty "Ohayo, Akira!"
"What happened to you? And didn't I say to wear the green dress?"
"I am! You never said that I couldn't wear jeans…"
"Grrr… Whatever! Just don't make me mad by shooting hoops again like you did last year…"
"Hai!"
Just then, our teacher comes in with 8 people in tow. When they enter, most of the girls are squealing.
I look at Akira and she's in shock…
"Ohayo! Settle down everybody, settle down!" the teacher says and the noise disappears… But not Akira's expression "What's wrong?" I whisper
"They're… They're here!? I thought it was a dream but…" she begins to mumble as the people in front of us are being introduced. It slowly dawns on me that they are the people I interviewed the day before. The teacher assigns them to the seat near mine and Akira's… I can see that Akira's mood has shifted from shocked to fear…
Wait, why in the world would she be scared?
I realize that the person sitting next to her is Akashi. I don't care right now… I lay my head on my table. I'm lucky that it is break time right now… Just then, I hear a hand slam on my table. I look up with alertness
Stupid! How could you forget that Akira sits right next to you!?I think.
I get ready for her blow, but there isn't any "Ayame-chan… Why are you so sleepy?" she asks calmly. This is when I know I'm in trouble. I have no choice since I know lying won't help.
"Sorry… So sleepy… Read manga all night last night…"
"I THOUGHT I TOLD NEVER TO DO THAT!" she yells
"I did… But I only did it for 2 nights…" I respond and I prepare for her attack, but I'm mistaken again "I'm letting you off, just this once since it's still day one. Do it again and I won't show any mercy…" she says with an anime evil-style look. I gulp and nod… I can get away sometimes but Akira is scary…
The teacher comes in… History, a subject I hate to my core, but Akira loves it! She's the best at it… Any subject that doesn't involve equations and science is her specialty and my weakness. I'm the opposite. I love Math and Science… But we both excel in Music…
"Kishimoto-san, when were the Taika Reforms?" she asks. Perfect… I wasn't listening… Only one thing to do… Think up a random answer
"645 B.C" I respond
"Very good Kishimoto-san! I thought you weren't listening… But your grades last year aren't so good so I'll assign you a tutor… If you don't pass the exam later, you'll have to take up make-up classes." she says and I shudder in fear of those classes
I can feel the tension from Akira; I'm pretty sure she knows who my tutor will be "Akashi Seijuro will be your tutor… Meet him in the library at 12:45pm." she says
"But sensei, I won't be able to have lunch." I whine "Eat it fast because if you fail this afternoon's test, you will have to take the remedial classes after class every day." she says. Held back for History class!? No way! I won't allow it!
"Class dismissed!" she says and leaves. I wonder what Akashi is like as a tutor…
A/N: Will Ayame survive her tutorial with Akashi? How will Akira manage with the fact the Generation of Miracles are there? Find out in the next chapter… Please REVIEW!
