Chapter 1: Got To Know You
Another ordinary day in school. As usual the class is noisy. Everyone is doing his or her thing.
"Ei, Ruriko!" Mayo called.
"Well what is it?" Ruriko asked her friend.
They sat down in their seats while their other classmates fool around.
"You said that you're looking fro a prom date." Mayo said to her.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll just go by myself." Ruriko chuckled.
But deep inside she's denying what she said.
"That wouldn't be fun."
"Why not?" Ruriko felt sad by this.
"You know, prom, girl-boy thing…" Mayo tied to persuade her friend.
" I don't know I'll think about it, ok?"
"Whatever you say…."
bell rings
"Teacher's coming!" Someone yelled.
Everybody ran to their seats and kept silent. Some even opened their books.
"Good morning class." Mr. Takayama, the Chemistry teacher greeted.
"Good morning Mr. Takayama." The class greeted in return.
"Today we are going to take up the different bond formations of chemicals…."
An hour passed by. Then the bell rings.
"Ok class, next we'll be talking about the chemical combinations…"
During the discussion, Mayo and Ruriko were talking to each other.
"Pssst…Ruriko, you still there?"
"What is it Mayo?"
"Are you doing anything later?"
"Uhm…nothing I guess."
"You know maybe we can hang out with the kada and stuff."
"I'll see."
"Ms. Ikusawa and Ms. Isunagi!" Mr. Takayama called the girls' attention.
Ruriko and Mayo quickly poised themselves. The whole class just chuckled because of the two girls.
Later in the afternoon, classes were over and students went off to their hangouts. Typical teen-agers eh…=)
"Ruriko, let's go to Starbucks." Mayo invited.
"Sure!" Ruriko agreed and off they went to have frapuccino and some talking.
The girls arrived after much walking. They walked in and were greeted by their kada-mates.
"Ei, what took you guys so long?"
"How far have you guys been walking?"
Mayo sat down beside Rika and Ruriko beside Kimi.
"Well, on the way here we went to look around." Ruriko explained.
"Looking at guys or what?" Rika asked.
"Most likely guys.." Kimi added.
The girls just went on laughing. After drinks of frapuccino and pastries, they decided to go home since it was kind of late.
"See you guys!" The barkada bid their goodbyes to each other.
Ruriko walked home. She was unaware of the danger surrounding her. But it was all right since she knows how to defend herself.
"Prom? I don't know and I give up."

"What was that? Maybe it was some cat…"
Ruriko ignored the sounds. Still, she knew something was wrong.
"Hey girl. Walking alone?" One guy steeped into the scene.
"Isn't it very late already?" Then another one came.
This wasn't good at all.
"Run? Fight?" Ruriko asked herself.
Panic was running into her. She didn't know. The two guys seemed to be armed so this was hard to deal with. On the other side of things, Shun Ukiya was walking by.
"Man, how can skateboarding be this hard?" Shun just kept on walking home with his board. However, he notices Ruriko being surrounded by two guys.
"Ei, what are you guys doing?" Shun stepped into things.
"Keep out of this kid." "Yeah! Get lost now!"
"Well I'll show you…" Shun said.
Ruriko was stunned. She didn't expect someone to actually save her. She was not the type who liked to be saved. That's because she ain't dependent on anybody.
On to the fight, Shun used his board to hit this guy on the head. The other tried to thrust his knife to Shun but Shun kicked him right to the gut. The fight went on. Like all fights there was the winner. The two guys ran out and leaving Ruriko and Shun.
"You know I could've taken them down." Ruri said.
"Well, at least I saved you the trouble of doing it." Shun answered.
"You're right. Thank you for that."
"Well, you should say thanks to my board here." Shun pointed out to his broken board he was holding.
"Gee, sorry. I'll pay for that."
"Nah, that's ok. I'm Shun. You must be…"
"Ruriko, Ruriko Ikusawa."
"Shun Ukiya by the way."
"Well, it's late already I must get going."
"You're right."
"Thank you again…hehe…=)"
"Take care now."
