Ok, so this is my first Fruits Basket story, well not really. I've written one other, but I haven't posted that yet, so I'm starting with this one. I don't know if any of my readers from my other stories are reading this, but if so, go vote on my profile for which story(s) you want updated next! Love y'all!
Sunshine fell down through the windows into the orientation room, lighting up the faces of the nervous first year students at Kaibara High School. Two second year boys were mingling around, answering questions and concerns. In a corner stood a small blonde girl with a thin string ribbon tied like a headband in her hair.
Going through her things once more, she gasped, she'd lost her schedule! Spotting one of the boys, she nervously walked over,
"Umm, senpai? I lost my class schedule…" the tall brown haired boy looked down t her,
"There's not really much I can do bout that." Her face fell, and she stuttered,
"Really? But…" suddenly a deep voice sounded behind her,
"Do you remember where you had it last? Let's go look for it." Turning she s aw the most beautiful boy she'd ever seen, his face was slightly feminine, but he was gorgeous. Dark grey hair framed his face, and his dark eyes were friendly, she could only stare as he spoke again, "Can you tell me your name and which class you're in?" Too dazed, it took her a moment to answer, and all the other girls were already yelling, so she cried out,
"Satomi Airimori, age 15, Scorpio, blood type B…" the rest of her words were drowned out by the others, and he was already gone before she could gather her senses, and she still hadn't found her schedule! Confused and worried, she started to wander through the halls, searching desperately for her lost schedule. It had been hours, and the bell had rung three times already, but Satomi had no idea what her first class was.
Then she saw a flash of blue and grey, the boy from earlier? He was walking through the halls, seeming agitated. Curious, she slipped off her shoes and crept quietly along in her socks, desperate to not make a sound. She followed him outside, wondering if he was sneaking off; suddenly the boy froze stiff, staring ahead.
Two people stood farther along the breezeway. One was a brunette, very pretty, but it was the boy who caught Satomi's eye. Just as handsome as the grey haired boy, but taller, and with pitch-black hair. The grey haired boy called out, sounding strangely frightened,
"Akito!" the dark haired boy glanced over in surprise, before he smiled and called back,
"Yuki!" Akito, that must be his name! That tall, handsome boy with such nice dark hair! Satomi returned her eyes to the boys. Akito was talking quietly to Yuki, but he wasn't looking at him, but past him, right at her!
Satomi's eyes grew wide as the dark haired boy caught her eye, a small smile flashed across his face, before returning to Yuki. Shocked and embarrassed, Satomi turned and ran off, past the doors leading into the school, she ran to the corner of the tall building, the stopped, gasping for air. Thankfully, there were no windows on the wall behind her, so she leant against it, breathing hard. She stood there for a few moments, her eyes closed from exhaustion.
She opened them slowly, staring at her feet. It only took her a few moments to realize what was up, shed forgotten her shoes! She must have dropped them when she ran off! They must have left by now! So I can go back and get my shoes. But what if that boy is still there, that would be so embarrassing! She shook her head and started walking, heading back to where the three people had been.
Glancing up at the tall building, she tripped over the edge of the sidewalk, and fell flat on her face. Looking up, she saw a pale hand in front of her face. Looking up, she saw the dark haired boy leaning over, holding out his hand. Oh no, first I'm caught spying now this! She hesitantly took his hand and he pulled her up. She swayed as she stood, and he steadied her with an arm around her waist.
"Are you ok?" he asked quietly, she nodded, and he smiled again, the same smile he had flashed when he caught her spying. He pointed to the ground and spoke a little louder, "I think you forgot these." She looked down and saw her shoes, blushing furiously; she slipped her feet back into them,
"Thank you so much!" He smiled again, then glanced away for a moment. She noticed his arm was still around her waist, and she instantly realized how odd they must look. Before she could say something, he spoke again,
"I heard your school get out early today, how about you and I go get a bite to eat, if you want?" Satomi nodded,
"I would love that, I mean, yes um ok…" she stuttered. He laughed slightly, then took her hand, leading her away toward the parking lot.
Ok, I have to go finish laundry so I'm cutting this off short, I promise Chapter 2 will be longer. Thanks for reading everyone! Please review!
