Hi there everyone!~ Before we get this story started, here's some things you guys gotta know :)
A/N: I know that some of you may not like OC's, but I can't seem to be able to write the romance* type yuri; it makes me feel umfortable writing it. So... I'll apologize right now. Gomenasai! -bows head in apology-
*Also thank you Genki Collective for pointing out some mistakes, I will fix them and try to improve on Chapter 2. Thank you very much once again :)
also, if the K-ON characters seem a bit OOC, I'm sorry again. I tried my best.
Sakuragaoka High School will be co-ed for story purposes and story purposes alone.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything; everything in K-ON belongs to their rightful owners. kthnx
Ok, now that all that is done, here goes :) My first 'anime' fanfiction! Enjoy~
Sunlight gleamed into the room; warming everything it touched and disturbing a certain boy's sleep.
"Mmmmm…," groaned the boy as he attempted to curl up tighter in his blankets in order to hide from the sunlight. Like most teenagers, he wasn't the morning sort of person. As he continued to snuggle into his blanket, he heard someone calling him.
"Ren, wake up! You're going to be late for school!" a woman's voice called from downstairs. "First impressions are everything!"
Ren made no movement whatsoever; he simply just lay there in his bed. The voice called him again, louder this time. Still, he ignored it. Finally, the door opened and his mother walked in.
"Hey, did you hear me young man?" demanded his mom as she put her hands on her hips.
"Yeah I did, calm down...," Ren replied, slightly annoyed that he had to get up. "Jeez..."
Grumbling, he got out of bed and shuffled to his closet to pick out the clothes that he was going to wear that day. It was then that his mother left the room, mumbling something that sounded like 'lazy teenagers.'
'Man, what a hell of a way to wake up on the first day of school...,' he thought as he put on a black jacket.
When Ren finished dressing, he went to the bathroom to get ready. After all, it was the first day of high school; he had to look his best and, like his mom said, make a good impression. Ren squeezed some gel into the palm of his hand and started to fix his messy brown hair back into shape. After he was finished, he grabbed his backpack and made his way downstairs. Along the way, he grabbed a slice of toast from the toaster. 'If I don't get going now, I'll be late,' Ren thought as he glanced at the clock.
"I'm heading to school now mom," Ren said as he opened the door and stepped outside, "I'll see you later."
When he stepped outside, he glanced up at the sky. There was not a cloud in sight; the cool breeze blew softly and ruffled his hair
'And now starts the first day of school at Sakuragaoka High,' Ren thought as he made his way to school.
When Ren saw the school, he wasn't impressed.
'Looks like a large middle school,' he thought dully.
Students were walking around campus; some of them walking with friends while others seemed downright lost. Ren didn't have any friends here since he was a transfer student from America due to his dad working for a large corporation here in Japan. After glancing at his watch one last time, he decided to head over to the auditorium which was located at the main building; it was the place where the opening ceremony was going to be held at.
As he made his way towards the main building, the breeze blew down some of the sakura petals; creating a small pink whirlwind that spiraled toward him. He shut his eye for a brief moment, letting the petals fly past him. When he opened his eyes, he saw something that took his breath away.
A brown-headed girl was standing there in front of him looking towards the school. She wore a yellow hairclip that held part of her bangs down on the side of her head while the rest of her bangs hung loosely down her forehead. She also wore an apparel that appeared to be the school uniform. From the lost look on her face, she was looking for somebody.
'She's cute...,' Ren thought as he felt a blush creep up his cheek.
As he gazed dumbly at the girl, he saw her face light up as she spotted her friend. Smiling brightly, the brown-headed girl then made her way to her friend and pretty soon, the two disappeared inside the auditorium.
'I'll have to introduce to myself to her sometime,' Ren noted as he made his own way to the auditorium.
When he went in, he found it to be jam-packed with students already. Squeezing through the crowd, he found a seat near the row at the back of the room and as he glanced around, it seemed as though that he was the only one who had forgotten his uniform. Unfortunately, he had never even recieved his uniform. He mentally noted to get his uniform tomorrow. Just then, another boy, who also wasn't wearing a student uniform, sat down in the chair next to him.
The boy wore a black hoodie with gray jeans to match and had jet-black hair with bangs that almost completely covered one eye. 'He looks like a cat,' Ren thought, slight intimidated by the boy's yellow eyes. The boy then glanced at Ren and gave him an understanding look.
"Are you a transfer student?" asked the boy, staring at Ren intently with eyes that seemed to pierce through Ren's soul, instantly making him uncomfortable.
"Um yeah, I moved here a couple weeks ago," Ren answered nervously. 'This guy's kind of scary. Why is he asking me that? Is he a transfer student too?' Ren's mind was jumbled with thoughts as he started to fidget slightly in his seat due to his nervousness.
"Oh, same here," said the boy as he suddenly smiled, "since we're both transfer students, want to be friends?"
This took Ren off guard completely. 'What a change in personality!' Ren was shocked, but quickly regained his composure.
'Maybe he isn't so intimidating after all. Sigh, since I have no friends here, I might as well be his friend.' Ren thought as he made his decision.
He then smiled and nodded. "Yeah sure, let's be friends. My name's Ren Takahashi, what's yours?"
"Akio Nakamura," the boy replied in kind as he shook Ren's hand, "nice to meet you."
As they struck up a conversation, the lights suddenly went dark and the stage lit up; the ceremony was about to begin. The principal walked up to the podium in the middle of the stage and raised his hand, motioning for everyone to settle down. When all the ruckus had died down, he began his speech.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all have had a good night's rest because today is the start of a new page in your life! Welcome to Sakuragaoka High School! We are proud to have you all here today; fresh young minds eager to learn and bursting with excitement to obtain the knowledge we truly cherish. I hope this year will be...
"So, where you from anyways?"
"America."
"Oh, me too! High five!"
Shortly after the opening ceremony, Ren and Akio got along really well. They talked and talked until the bell rang, signalling for the two friends to head to their homeroom. They bid each other good-bye before heading over to their respective classes.
'I wonder if that cute girl I saw earlier will be in my class,' Ren dully thought as he walked toward classroom 1-1.
When Ren walked into the classroom, he found that almost everyone had arrived already and taken a seat. Sighing, he walked towards the back of the room and took a seat near the window; although he had a wide view of the classroom, he couldn't see each person's face clearly. Beside him, there was an empty chair.
It was then the teacher started to take role; she told each person to stand up and introduce themselves. As this progressed, Ren didn't see the girl he saw before. 'Maybe she isn't in this class...,' he muttered to himself. He sounded defeated; as though all his hope had been crushed at that moment. 'Now, I'll never meet her...'
As if fate was trying to prove him wrong, a certain brown-headed girl barged into the classroom. "Sorry I'm late!" she apologized. She sounded out of breath, as though she had been running. She then gave a quick apologetic bow and shuffled over to her seat, nearly tripping over one of the legs of the table as she did so.
'She's clumsy...' Ren mentally facepalmed, but quickly regained his composure as the brown-headed girl took the seat next to him.
After a while, everyone had already introduced themselves except Ren and the brown-haired girl. As if on a cue, she stood up and exclaimed brightly.
"My name is Yui Hirasawa! I hope that we can be good friends!"
She then smiled sweetly and sat back down. It was now Ren's turn to introduce himself. He stood up and took a deep breath before he started.
"I'm Ren Takahashi. Please take care of me," Ren announced as he gave a quick bow.
He sat down and sighed, leaning his head against his arm. 'This is just like America,' he thought as he stared off into space. 'Hopefully it won't be as boring.' Shortly after the introductions, the teacher started to teach the material. As the teacher progressed, Ren lay down on his arm and dozed off into a peaceful slumber...
'Yup, just as boring...'
"Hrmmm...," Ren mumbled as he awoke from feeling someone tap him on the shoulder.
As his vision was adjusting, he saw that the person who had woken him up was none other than the cute girl, Yui Hirasawa. Instantly, Ren jolted fully awake.
"Um... Takahashi-kun, do you know how to do this problem?" Yui asked shyly, but with an outright confused expression. She sounded as though this was her first time speaking to a boy.
"Let's see the problem." Ren took a look at her notebook; "what is the square root of radical two hundred?" After working out the problem on his own notebook, Ren explained it to Yui.
"Ok, so first you pull out one hundred, which is ten when you square root it and take it out of the radical sign so that you are left with ten times radical two, which is your answer," Ren explained.
After he was done, he asked if Yui had gotten everything he said.
"Mhmm, I got everything. Thank you Takahashi-kun!" Yui exclaimed happily as she smiled sweetly at the boy.
At the moment she smiled at him, Ren almost blushed, but caught himself and was able to maintain his composure. He replied 'your welcome' and returned her smile. Turning around to face the front, he laid his head down on his arm, but was not able to fall asleep again. Luckily the bell rang in five minutes so he didn't have to wait long. Since it was the first day of school, the day was shortened so that it was only half as long as a normal class period. A shortened day was a good day. When the bell rang, the students got up were about to leave when the teacher announced something.
"Don't forget that tomorrow is a normal day schedule and that all students must join a club and actively participate in it. Have a good day and see you all tomorrow."
After the teacher finished, everyone shuffled out of the classroom and into the hallway and started to talk with friends. Ren watched as Yui meet up with a girl with short hair and glasses before they started to walk home together. Before Yui left, she turned around and waved bye to him and thanked him again for helping her on the problem. Ren smiled and waved back; he had finally been able meet her.
As he started walking down the hallway to the door too, a poster caught his eye. The Light Music Club it said.
'Sounds interesting,' Ren thought to himself. 'I'll have to check it out tomorrow.'
When he finished looking at the poster, he started to walk towards the door again, meeting up with Akio along the way. The two then left school and started talking about their day the whole way home.
It was the end of the first day at the school...
Well... that concludes chapter 1 :D -feels accomplished-
I know that this chapter only contains Yui, but I'll be introducing the rest of the K-ON crew (and more OC's) as the story progresses :)
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it :)
I'll try to have chapter 2 up as soon possible after I finish my finals. Until then~
