Kokoro no Harmony Ch.1
"Bye!" You yelled out as you ran out of your front door. Today, you were starting at a new school as a second-year. "Now, how do I get there?" you mumbled as you stared at the address of your new school, Raimon Junior High.
"Kyaaaa! It's Takuto-sama!" screamed someone. A girl with blonde hair and pink clothes ran from behind you.
A bunch of squealing and screaming girls ran after the lead girl. You sighed and shook your head. They were probably crazy fangirls of some soccer guy from Raimon.
As you walked, you caught sight of who the fangirls were chasing. Two guys were standing in front of a convenience store. One had long rose-pink hair tied in twin tails. His friend had short, wavy ash-brown hair.
Looking up, the two boys saw the sea of fangirls chasing them. The guys muttered something to each other.
"The Mist!" The pink-haired guy said. Immediately, a cloud of mist rose around the boys. The fangirls stopped in their tracks.
Grabbing his bag, the brunet ran away, leaving his friend behind. The pink-haired guy gulped and hid himself behind a tree.
Walking up to him, you tapped him on the shoulder. The boy jumped. He relaxed when he saw you. "Hi, I'm Kirino Ranmaru. Are you new?" he asked curiously. "I've never seen you around school."
You nodded. "I'm L/n F/n." You pointed in the direction of the fangirls. "Having a little fangirl trouble?"
Kirino nodded sheepishly. "I don't want to end up being glomped by a bunch of loons."
"It must be hard, being popular." You smiled sympathetically.
"Well, some guys take it okay." Scanning the surroundings, Kirino pointed out a tall, navy-haired boy. The boy had crossed his arms over his chest, and he was wearing casual clothes instead of the school uniform.
"That's Tsurugi. Even though he's a first-grader, he has a dark aura around him. He always acts cool about everything. If the fangirls bother him, he never shows it."
"So," you say, rummaging in your backpack. "I'm thinking you need some help, getting to school." You pulled out a black jacket with a hood. "Put this on."
Smiling, Kirino took the jacket gratefully. "You know, it's glad to finally meet a girl that doesn't try to hook on with me."
You blushed, hiding your face so that Kirino wouldn't see. Okay, so maybe he was cute.
…
…
…
"Minna! Let's welcome L/n F/n! She's dropping into the middle of the term today; so, L/n-chan, please introduce yourself!" Sensei said.
You stepped into the middle of the classroom. "Ohayo. My name is L/n F/n, nice to meet you!" You bowed.
"Who wants to sit next to L/n?" Hands shot up into the air, from girls and boys alike. Your heart skipped a beat when you caught sight of Kirino, who also had his hand in the air.
"Alright! Kirino-kun, please take care of L/n and show her around the school!"
Gasps arose from the classroom. You tried hard not to smile as you felt the envious glares of Kirino's fanclub on you.
Kirino smiled. "So, we meet again."
"Kirino! It's nice to see that you've finally found yourself a cute girlfriend!" A boy with goggles on his forehead and tanned skin said, clapping Kirino's back hardly.
"Hamano! Don't tease him!" The brunet from this morning said.
"Stop it, Hamano." Kirino was blushing prominently.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Shindou Takuto, Kirino's best friend." Shindou tapped his fingers absentmindedly on the table.
"And, he's also the captain of the soccer club, the top of our grade and a brilliant pianist." Hamano added.
"Hamano!" Shindou looked embarrassed.
"There's a soccer club?" you asked, sounding interested.
"Yeah," said Kirino, who had recovered from Hamano's ribbing. "You can come along for practice later."
"You sure are treating her like your girlfriend," muttered Hamano.
Kirino and Shindou both sighed.
"Never mind him. Hamano's always the class clown, the court jester." Shindou said.
…
…
After school, Kirino led you to the soccer club clubroom. "Here we are!" he said, pausing outside a tall building.
"That… That's the soccer club clubroom?!" You gasped loudly. It was a huge place, with at least four floors.
"It always has that effect on newcomers," said Shindou. He walked closer, and the automatic doors slid open with a whoosh.
"Captain!" yelled a guy from inside. The boy had brown hair and metallic blue eyes.
"Hi, Tenma," Shindou replied.
"Kirino-senpai, is that your girlfriend?" A teal-haired boy asked, smirking as he stared at Kirino with seemingly innocent golden eyes.
Kirino flushed. "No, Kariya," he replied hotly.
"Kirino-san, are you always the butt of the soccer club jokes?" you asked him.
Kirino shook his head. "I don't know what's gotten into them today."
The doors slid open again. Tsurugi walked in. "Captain, Kirino-senpai," he greeted coolly. When he saw you, he raised his eyebrows. "Are you Kirino's girlfriend?"
Both you and Kirino blushed.
"Why does everyone think that we're dating?!" you exclaimed.
"Hi! Are you the new kid?" A tall girl with long red hair said.
"Yeah, nice to meet you."
"I'm Seto Midori, and this is Yamana Akane." Midori slung her arm around your shoulders. "So. Are you joining as a player, or as a manager?" she asked you.
You shrugged. You liked playing soccer, but you weren't that good at it. "I'll just watch you guys."
A month later, you had settled into your new life completely. You made friends with the soccer club guys. But in the progress, you also made a lot of enemies, who were jealous of the friendship you had with Kirino.
"Ohayo!" Aoi's voice sounded from across the road.
"Hi, Aoi-chan," you replied. "Are you having a food time at your new school?" asked Aoi.
"Yeah," you responded.
"Do you have a crush on anybody?" asked Aoi mischievously.
"What? No!" you said, choking on your mouthful of coffee. The question had totally caught you off guard.
"Well?" Aoi had crossed the road and was walking beside you.
"I…" you started. The image of a pink-haired, azure-eyed boy forced itself into your mind. You blushed at the thought.
"You like Kirino," Aoi said. It wasn't a question, just a statement of defiance.
"No!" You were having a hard time denying it.
"Yep!" Aoi looked smug, a victorious look on her face. "Kirino likes you too."
"How can you say that? We're only friends…" you faltered as the subject of your conversation, Kirino Ranmaru walked towards you.
"Morning, Kirino-senpai!" Aoi greeted Kirino. She looked at you, as if trying to gauge your reaction.
"Ohayo, L/n-chan!" Kirino said. And to make things worse, he was smiling softly, staring directly into your eyes.
You felt your cheeks grow warm. Kirino rook no notice and continued walking.
"Senpai! I'm late for something; I'll go to school first~" Aoi ran away.
"A-aoi!" You stuttered.
"What's wrong, L/n?" Kirino asked. He looked concerned.
"Nothing," you replied, looking at the ground.
"Is someone at school bothering you?"
"No."
"What's wrong, then?" Kirino looked perplexed.
"Just that I really like you but I'm too afraid to confess to you!" you blurted. You gasped loudly, realizing your mistake. "I'm sorry. I'll just…" You started to walk away, but a hand closed onto your wrist. You looked behind you, only to see Kirino holding your hand.
"Don't go. I like you too," he said simply.
"But, there are loads of other pretty girls around. Are you sure?" You just couldn't believe what was happening.
Slowly, Kirino moved closer. You moved too, until your noses were touching. You both closed your eyes and leant in.
Just as you were going to kiss, someone said, "Nice one, Kirino."
You jumped apart. Shindou was standing behind you, with Kariya and Tsurugi beside him.
"Congratulations, Kirino-senpai." Tsurugi was smirking.
"Look! I've got a picture! This is going to be in the school newsletter!" Kariya ran off.
Both you and Kirino were blushing prominently.
"Geez, those guys…" said Kirino, slipping an arm around your shoulders.
"Never mind, Ranmaru," you held onto his hand.
You and Kirino walked to school, ignoring the gazes and catcalls of other people.
Phew! That was long!
