A/N: So this is a story that I wrote with one of my best friends, Commander Squirtle. They idea was actually inspired when we talked about how it would be if Takane ran a mile. Yea good times *flash back* Anyway I'd like to point out a few things. 1) The title of this story is really bad and I might change it if I find a better one (suggestions are very welcome), so sorry about that. 2) I'm working on two other stories with this one so if updates don't come consistently, sorry. 3) I'm very bad at writing romance, so if you think it's crappy, sorry. 4) the story goes through the entire year of school so the chapters go according to what day of the year it is from when they started school, including the days they are on vacation. 5) Everyone is probably OOC, so sorry. Remember this is how everyone's lives would be like if everyone was normal so it might be boring for some people. I actually don't know how this first chapter got so long. I love this story though, it's like my baby, and so I'd really like feedback on it, so please review.

~The 1st day~

"Since I am a reasonable teacher, I am alright with you students sitting in seats that you've picked yourself."

Ayano's eyes lit up happily and she gave Shintaro a friendly shove. He smiled back kind of awkwardly, not exactly knowing how to react.

"Come on Shintaro, lets go sit by the window," said Ayano. She grabbed Shintaro's hand and started leading him to a pair of desks near the window.

"Ayano, you don't need to hold my hand. I know where the desks are." Shintaro protested.

"Oh, I know silly~" She sang. Hearing her words Shintaro could feel his face grow warm and his hand developed a sudden stiffness in hers. Ayano looked back at his sudden quietness. "Are you blushing, Shintaro-kun?" she giggled.

"N-no, I'm n-not!" he stuttered. Ayano continued to giggle, but let go of his hand, sat down in her chosen desk, and swung her school bag off her shoulder and letting it sit down by her feet, "Whatever lets you sleep at night."

Shintaro thought about retorting back, but decided against it, sitting down in the desk next to Ayano and swallowing what was left of his pride.

After everyone was seated again Ms. Konishi cleared her throat. "The assignment today is very simple. For the rest of the period you will take this quiz," She held up thin stack of papers.

"It's not going to be graded, it is merely for me to see what your weak and strong points are as of now." She started down the rows and distributed the paper. Once everyone had a paper, they were free to begin.

Two minutes later Ayano whispered over to Shintaro. "Psst, Shintaro."

"Hmm?"

"What did you get for the first one at the top, on the line." she asked and made a gesture of a line with her finger.

Shintaro blinked and looked down at his paper, "Um. . . Kisaragi Shintaro?" he offered.

"Great!" She said and started scribbling down an answer.

"Wait, wait. Ayano, you're supposed to write down your name."

Ayano turned her head back towards him and smiled. "I know Shintaro, I was just teasing." She tapped on her chin and gave a look of embarrassment look, "You don't think I'm that stupid do you?"

"I-I never said-" Shintaro started, but the teacher's voice cut him off.

"No talking!"

Takane rested her head sideways on one of her arms while the other arm hung limply off her desk. She sighed in annoyance which just came out as an indignant huff of air.

"Something wrong Takane?" She glanced next to her at her best friend Haruka whose brown eyes looked at her curiously.

"No I'm not fine!" Takane screeched and slammed her hands on the desk, causing both Haruka and Mary who had been sitting in the back of the room reading to flinch.

"We've been sitting in this God forsaken classroom for a half an hour now without a teacher!" She continued raging, "I mean, this is no way for us to be treated."

Haruka just smiled and set down the drawing pad he'd been drawing in, "I'm sure it wasn't on purpose." he said.

"Yeah sure. They'd probably do anything to get rid of us students."

"Really?" asked Mary in the back.

Haruka turned around to face Mary, "No, Takane's just angry that's all." he said assuringly, and Mary seemed to relax.

"Hmph."

Then there was a knock on the classroom door, and all heads looked up.

"Hiya~" said Seto, and he waved a hand that held a ring with two keys on it.

"Oh it's just Seto." said Takane, "Be glad you're not the teacher or I would have strangled you."

"Um okay, nice to see you too, Takane." he said uneasily.

"Why are you here anyway?" asked Haruka.

"I'm supposed to be the T.A for this class now. So they sent me over here to take attendance." He stared around at the three student classroom, "But it doesn't seem like there a lot of people here huh?"

"Welcome to the 'special' class; population: 3" Takane cheered sarcastically.

"Well, I still have to take roll. Even if you guys are the only ones here." Seto walked over to the teacher's desk and rummaged through the drawers for a pen and paper and soon was writing their names down. Takane drummed a beat on her desk; While Haruka tried humming along cheerfully. And Mary continued to read her book, but found herself every once in a while glancing up from the pages and looking over at Seto.

"By the way, Seto," Seto looked up from the desk, "Who is our teacher that never showed up?" asked Haruka.

"Ayano's dad, Mr. Tateyama."

Immediately Takane's head shot up from her desk. "What!?" she demanded, "No wonder we were stuck here all period by ourselves if we have him for a teacher." She clenched her fists, "I am really gonna have to talk to Ayano."

"Now, now calm down," Haruka laughed nervously and put a hand on Takane's shoulder.

"I'm fine," she insisted and shrugged his hand off. "Let's just go," she said and grabbed her backpack before walking toward the door.

"Hey you can't just leave-" said Seto, but then the bell rang. Takane gave Seto a little satisfied smirk and left the class. After she left Haruka sighed, but wore an amused smile.

"See ya Seto," he said before leaving to catch up with Takane.

"Bye," Seto called after. He placed the piece of paper he'd been writing on down and then noticed Mary was still in her same seat in the back, and still reading. Seto smiled to himself. Just like when she's at home, he thought to himself. He got up from the table and walked over to her seat.

"Whatcha reading?" he asked when he was right next to her.

"Uuwwwaaa! Seto you scared me!" she said startled.

"Oh, sorry." he chuckled, "I didn't mean too. Mary relaxed slightly back into her chair, and left out a quivering breath. "It's fine."

"I just thought I'd let you know the period is over and you might want to get to your next class."

"Oh right." Quickly Mary grabbed her book bag and began to leave.

"Lets meet up at lunch okay?" he said as she began heading out.

"Mmm" she said, in too much of a hurry to say much more.

"Ugh, dammit, why did I ever agree to this?" groaned Kido.

Kido stopped in her tracks. Kano, who'd been walking right behind her, now passed her up as she stopped.

"Stupid, godamn skirt!" Kido cursed. She grabbed the end of the gray and dark pink fabric and pulled it down to her knees. She did it at least three times, but each time the skirt kept riding up causing screams of frustration from the green haired girl.

Kano watched with great amusement at her clothing struggled. "Kido if you don't hurry up we're going to be late to class." his words came out chocked as he tried to stifle his laughter.

"We're already late, idiot." Kido grumbled. She tried one more time to make her skirt come lower, but again it came up. Kido let out one more irritated screech before she gave up and started stomping back toward the classroom with Kano following right behind her.

Even as they walked Kido still wound up pulling her skirt down involuntarily, trying to stretch the fabric down as far as she could make it go. Kano couldn't take it anymore and burst out into a fit of laughter.

Kido turned around to glare at him. "What?" she demanded.

Kano held his stomach and panted as he tried to stop his laughter, "Why did you even wear that in the first place?"

Kido's face turned slightly red at the comment. "Onee-chan said it would look nice on me."

"Did she tell you to wear your hair like that too?" Kano asked teasingly.

Immediately Kido punched him in the face with such force it knocked Kano back onto the ground. Her hand then went involuntarily to her hair where it was tied into a side ponytail by a pale yellow bow.

"Ow! Kido that hurt." Kano whined as he rubbed his left cheek, but his usual grin was still plastered to his face.

"Shut up." she said harshly as she pulled the bow loose from her hair, letting the hair from it hang loosely.

"Geez, when did you become so cold?"

"The same day you became an idiot."

"Aww, but you were so cute when you were little," said Kano picking himself back up from the ground and making a little gesture with his hand at Kido's once small height.

"Shut up." said Kido again and turned to start walking again. "Let's go before we're any later."

But Kano didn't move and slightly swayed on the spot he gotten up from. He clutched his head with one of his hands as he felt it dizzying.

"Kido I think you gave me brain damage." the blonde said as he rubbed is temples counter clockwise.

"You can't damage what you never had." Kido said without even looking back.

"But it hurts." complained Kano.

"Stop whining and get your butt over here."

Immediately Kano was by her side grinning as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "Why? Do you miss me and my wonderful butt that much?" he teased.

Kano soon felt a hand smack against his face, "No."

"Mr. Amamiya." Hibiya looked up from the paper he'd been doodling on. "Would you run the attendance down to the office please?" asked the teacher. Hibiya nodded and went up to the front desk to collect the paper from the teacher.

The hallway was empty which made it look brighter and larger than it had when Hibiya had been pushing his way through the crowd looking for the right classroom. So far he wasn't enjoying his first day of high school as much as everyone assured him he would.

He was pretty sure he knew-or rather remembered-where the office was. He wondered if he was even going the right way. This school felt so big he wondered if he'd get lost in it.

Finally, when he was just about to give up Hibiya turned the corner and found the sign stretching out from the wall by the door. He breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't wanted to look like some idiot who couldn't find his way around an always needed help.

Hibiya wanted to make this quick, so he walked in, handed the papers to the lady, and walked out. Only he couldn't walk out because right when he turned the knob and opened the door he felt it impact with something else. There was a loud thump and a painful scream of, "OW!" followed by another thump.

Hibiya squeezed through the space he'd already opened with the door and found a girl, flat on her back, rubbing her forehead.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry," said Hibiya and offered a hand to help her up. She opened one of her brown eyes to look at him before she took his hand.

"Again, I'm really, really sorry." he said again. The girl didn't say anything, but brushed herself off and straightened out her clothing. Hibiya just watched her; she seemed like a nice girl with a dress and pigtails. She didn't seem like one of those girls who would beat you up for doing things like that. He'd already seen how Kano got along with that and preferred not to have the same fate.

The girl turned towards him and smiled sweetly. "It's alright I'm sure you didn't mean it."

Her smile made Hibiya's heart do a little flip in his chest. "Um, um I-I think you should-d go to t-the nurses o-office." Hibiya couldn't stop himself from stuttering. The girl rubbed her forehead where the bump from the door started swelling.

"Um yeah... Do you know where the nurse's office is?" she asked.

Hibiya rubbed the back of his head and thought. "I think I do."

"Do you think you could take me there, please?" the girl clasped her hands together and gave him a pleading smile.

"Uh. . . Sure."

"Thanks," she said and started walking toward the opposite end of the hall.

"This way?"

"Mm." Hibiya walked shoulder to shoulder with her. It was kind of strange how he went from delivering attendance to meeting a girl and walking her to the nurse's office. I would have been better, though, if he hadn't been the reason she needed to go there anyways.

"So stranger, are you going to tell me your name or do I have to ask?" the girl asked.

"Oh, um. . . Hibiya Amamiya, that's my name. Kinda weird huh?"

"No, I like it." the girl said and gave him another smile. Hibiya's heart gave another little flip just like the first time.

"My name is Hiyori Asahina."

It's beautiful, was on the tip of Hibiya's tongue, but thankfully he saved himself from the embarrassment of saying it.

"I like your name too." Hibiya said and smiled.

"Why are you guys so late?" Ayano whispered from her desk as Kido and Kano walked past it. But Kido just shook her head and walked silently passed the desks and to her own seat. Thankfully, the teacher didn't notice, or rather didn't care that they'd come in late.

"Do you have to sit next to me?" Kido groaned when Kano sat in the desk next to hers. "Of course. I have to sit next to my favorite person in the world." Kano grinned. Kido just rolled her eyes and buried her head between her crossed arms.

"And just why are you two late... and wet?" Kido heard the teacher say. There were then mumblings from the other classmates that echoed around the room.

"Um well, you see. . ."

Kido pulled her head up to see a boy and girl standing in the doorway to the classroom. Both of them stood with their school uniforms fully soaked with what appeared to be water.

"Wow, the first day of school is just full of surprises," Kano mused as he watched the scene with interest.

"There was a cat, and the fountain, and. . . We kind of fell in." the girl said quietly.

"Just go sit down in your seats please."

"Okay" Both of them walked to their desks, their shoes making noise that sounded like water sloshing through their shoes. When they walked closer Kido noticed the only two available desks were on the other side of her and the other on the other side of Kano. The girl sat on Kido's side and the boy sat next to Kano.

Kido glanced over at the girl who just sat straight forward in her seat and watched the water drip off her brown curly hair and glasses. She seemed to be in a very good mood despite being completely soaked.

"Hannah."

The girl, who Kido supposed was Hannah, looked over at the boy and smiled.

"That was awesome," she said.

"I know it was," replied the boy.

"So you planned that?" asked Kano.

"We'll not exactly," said the boy.

"We saw another guy actually fall in there earlier today. It looked like fun so we tried it, right Javier."

"Yup," said the boy, now known as Javier.

Kido felt like somewhat of an outcast as she was caught in the middle of the group conversation, even though she wasn't even in it.

Ugh, I hope the whole year isn't gonna be like this, Kido complained mentally.

"I like your hoodie."

Kido was pulled out of her thoughts by the girl looking at her. "What- Oh thanks" said Kido.

Hannah smiled, "Yeah, I like your hair too. It's really pretty. All of you is really pretty."

Kido blinked not really knowing what to say after the compliment. "Uh, thanks I guess."

"Aw Kido has a little fan." Kano snickered and Kido shot an evil glare in his direction.

"Hey Mary~" Set called when he saw the white haired girl come out of the classroom.

"Hi." she replied rather quietly. He noticed that she avoided looking at him and held her book tightly to her chest.

"Is something wrong Mary?" Seto asked with concern. Mary just shook her head and continued to stare at the ground.

"Well lets go to lunch and see everyone okay?" said Seto and they started walking.

When they were almost to the cafeteria Seto spoke again. "Y'know Mary, it's just school you can be yourself around me just like you do at home." he said, "It doesn't matter what people think."

"I know," Mary said quietly. Then she looked up at Seto and smiled, "You always know what to say Seto."

…

"So where do you wan to sit?" asked Seto.

"Where's everyone else?" asked Mary.

"I don't think there here yet," Seto said looking around the room for an empty table, "How about we sit over there."

"Okay." agreed Mary.

"Wait Seto I forgot to get juice." said Mary after they sat down at the table.

"I'll get some for you Mary." Seto said cheerfully and went to go get it.

Mary sat there by herself waiting for Seto to come back. She sat and pick gingerly at her food and then she remembered she still had her book and started to read. While reading she felt like someone was watching her. Mary looked up to see if anyone was watching her. At first she didn't notice anyone, but then she saw them.

It was a boy; he sat right at the table across from her. He was also. . . Staring at her with a creepy looking smile stretched across his face. He nodded to Mary when he saw her staring back at him, but Mary ignored it and put he head back down. But then looking through her hair she saw that he was still looking at her.

Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away, thought Mary, Oh Seto please come back soon.

She felt something brush up against her and looked up expecting it to be Seto, but instead it was the boy who had been staring at her before from the other table. Mary let out a frightened squeal and nearly dropping her book in the process as she scooted away from him.

"Hi I'm Jalin," said the boy, "How do you like me so far?"

"I-I-I..." Mary was tongue tied and her heart was still beating erratically from the mini heart attack she'd suffered from.

"Sorry, the voices in my head told me to come talk to you." he said and smiled, but it wasn't a nice smile; It was kinda creepy.

Is he flirting with me? I can't tell! What do I do? I don't know what to do!

"So what's your name?" Jalin asked leaning his elbow on the table.

"M-Mary."

"Hmm that's pretty." he said, "Y'know, I seem to have lost my phone number, could I borrow yours?" he asked.

"Um I-I don't have a-a... phone." Mary said. Jalin's face fell, "Oh."

"Sorry." said Mary.

"Well that's okay," Jalin smirked, "You can just be my girlfriend and we'll call it even."

W-Wait what!? Call what even?

"U-um I-I don't. . . Um-"

"It's okay; I'll take your nervousness as a yes."

"Ican'tbeyourgirlfriend!" blurted Mary.

"Huh why?" asked Jalin.

"Because. . . Because. . ." Mary racked frantically through her head, but she couldn't think of an excuse.

"Hey Mary~ I'm sorry it took me so long but they-" Seto was cut off when Mary suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Because Seto's my boyfriend!" Mary exclaimed. Both Jalin and Seto wore the same bewildered expression.

"You are?" asked Jalin skeptically narrowing his eyes at the pair. Seto then gave Mary a look saying, yeah, we are?

"Y-yes we are. I just didn't know how to break it to you. We've been going out for months now, right Seto?" Mary gave a pleading look as if to say, just go with it please!

"Um, yeah. We've been going out for quite awhile now." Seto laughed nervously, "Sorry about that."

Jalin turned and muttered something under his breath sounding a lot like, that's what they all say.

"Okay." said Jalin, but he still glared at them with skepticism. "But I'll be watching you two very closely." He got up from the table and took his lunch with him before walking away.

As soon as Jalin left Mary started trembling violently. "Mary are you okay?"

"Not really," she muttered. "I am so sorry. I just-just panicked and I didn't know what to do and-"

"Mary it's alright. I don't mind, really. If it keeps you away from that guy I'd consider it more of a job of mine to do it." said Seto.

Mary blushed slightly, "Okay, Thank you Seto."

Seto laughed nervously, "I guess this means we need to spread the word we're together. Y'know so that guy will believe it."

Mary's cheeks reddened even more at the thought of actually telling people this. Her and Seto. Together. Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

"Eh? You guys go out? Since when?" asked Shintaro.

"For months now." said Seto.

"Wait did you mean for months, or four months?" asked Takane holding up four of her fingers.

"For months, not the number four."

"Oh."

"Ah Seto! How come you never told me?" whined Kano, "I thought we were best friends."

"He probably knew you'd come blabbing to the rest of us about it." Kido said.

"Ouch I'm hurt Kido. You'd think I'd do such a thing." Kano asked.

"Yes, I really do." Kido deadpanned.

"Well I think it's great," said Ayano happily, "Is that why you offered to go stay at Mary's house while her mom is at treatment?"

"W-well that's... certainly part of it." Seto said. Subject change please.

"Oh yeah and I didn't tell you," Seto turned to Takane and Haruka. "The 'special' class isn't going to be just three anymore. It's going to be six."

"Huh? Why?" Haruka asked.

"Apparently they're moving the three transfer students we got this year into your class."

"Hmm how wonderful." Takane grumbled.

"How come they're moving to special class?" asked Ayano.

"Since the school has never done one of these transfers before they want to start out with putting the students in a lower level class before they have them in upper level."

"Ugh, but why are class?" Takane groaned, "Why do we have to get all those people?"

"It's not even that many, just two or three." said Seto.

"Be nice Takane," Ayano scolded.

"Yeah, they're not all bad," said Kano, "I thought those two we met were pretty interesting." He leaned over next to Kido and poked her, "Right Kido?"

"Shut up idiot." said Kido as she elbowed Kano away from her.

"By the way, has anyone seen Hibiya?" asked Shintaro. Everyone shook their heads.

"Do you think he's okay?" asked Mary.

"Oh I'm sure he's fine." said Haruka.

"Yes, he's a big boy now," said teased Kano, "He can take care of himself."

"Sorry, sorry, I late!" said Momo. As always with the attention in the room turned to her as she stumbled through the door. Her hair was messy with tangles and her forehead shined with sweat. Her pink jacket peeked out from inside a bright neon green gym bag.

"Practice. Tryouts. Ran. Late." Momo panted. She dropped the bag on the floor and collapsed on one of the ripped grey leather couches next to her brother.

"Just breathe Momo." he said and patted her on the forehead.

"Yeah. . . Yeah I will."

"So how did tryouts go, Kisaragi?" asked Kano.

"Fine." she breathed and closed her eyes. "I think I have a shot, but I don't know."

"I'm sure you'll get a position on the squad." said Ayano encouragingly. "I mean we've all seen you practice, and you're really good."

Momo's face twisted into a kind of pained expression as she thought of the practice. "Yeah I know you have."

No one could really have stopped themselves from laughing, so everyone did burst out laughing. "It's not funny!" protested Momo as her face became red with anger and embarrassment. "You guys are mean." Momo pouted when they had all had their fill of laughter.

"Oh, you know we love you Oba-san." laughed Hibiya and Momo shot him a glare.

"Oh yeah Hibiya, I heard you hit a girl with a door today." Momo smirked. Immediately Hibiya stopped laughing.

"I-it was an accident!" he protested.

"Sure it was, or were you just trying to be the least bit subtle while hitting on her. That's really pathetic."

"Shut up you stupid cow! You always have to stick your big momos where they don't belong!" Hibiya said getting in Momo's face.

Momo pushed him back, but stood up, "Just who the hell-!"

"Oi, ENOUGH!" Both of them turned to see Kido glaring at them. "That's enough from both of you."

"Fine." Momo grumbled and sat back on the couch and pouted.

"At least Kido's authoritive voice comes in handy sometimes." mused Kano.

"Oh!" Momo exclaimed, "Did any of you write down the Geometry homework? I forgot to." she said.

"No…"
