"Hey Rosie-chan, over here!" I heard my name being called out from across the court yard. I looked up from the ground to see my best friend and neighbour, Heisuke Toudou. He waved with a big smile and motioned me over to him. I ran over and greeted my friend with a warm smile and a friendly hug.
"It's been awhile, you've grown taller Rosie-chan." He chuckled, patting my head as if I were a puppy.
"Heisuke it's only been two days since I saw you last how could I have grown taller?" I pouted, slapping his hand away.
"I'm just teasing ya." I felt his hand resume to its previous position, as he continued to mess up my hair.
"So first day of high school you excited or what?" he cheered, I shook my head. I wasn't too eager about coming here as it was just all guys. Heisuke convinced me that it'd be fun, I was stupid enough to agree.
"All the guys are…staring its beginning to freak me out"
"Stay close to me and you'll be fine I won't let them get ya" he reassured me, as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.
"Heisuke, who's the girl?"
"Are you two together?"
"I bet they are!"
The teasing calls of three other first years were heard from the other side of the courtyard. I couldn't help but blush, It may have crossed my mind a few times that Heisuke and I could be more than what we are now, but I'm also afraid that he wouldn't like the me in that way.
"Hey Rosie the bell's gone. You wanna get to class or not?" Heisuke said tugging on my blazer.
"Uh… yes! I wasn't paying attention I'm sorry" I apologized, struggling to keep up with the teal eyed boy who dragged me close behind him.
"Hee? Heisuke, what are you doing with a girl? You know that this is an all-boys school, not that I'm complaining about having a cutie pie like this one to wandering around the halls." A voice sounded from behind us. Heisuke immediately turned around and faced the second year student.
"Souji, I swear, touch her and you're-."
"Feisty little first year aren't we? Well, if you keep that up there is no way you'd survive in this school." The boy warned, picking Heisuke up from the back of his collar.
"H-Hey, Put me down!" Heisuke shouted, struggling to free himself from the boy's grasp. He just chuckled and dropped him.
"That was just a warning." He said before turning around.
"Oh, I didn't get your name cutie" he said, looking over his shoulder.
I blushed and looked away. "I-It's Rose" I stuttered as I failed to hide my bright red cheeks.
"I'm Okita Souji, it's nice to meet you Rosie-chan" he winked. Heisuke jumped up and made his hand into a fist.
"Souji! I said stay away from her you got that!"
"Heisuke calm down he was just being…nice." Heisuke swung round and made serious eye contact.
"Stay away from him he wasn't being nice he's trying to get you to fall for him, he will only cause trouble so don't fall for it a relationship is the last thing you-"
"Shut up Toudou!" I shouted. I had only just broken up with my boyfriend and Heisuke has been very protective of me since then. He never was too keen with me being in a relationship where everything went wrong but I loved him and he broke my heart and left me for some other girl.
"I'm sorry, but it's the truth." He mumbled, gently placing a hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay… come on we should get to class." I said, dragging my friend behind me.
"Mr Toudou, MissThorel, you're late." Was what our homeroom teacher Harada Sensei said as we stumbled into the classroom.
"A girl?"
"Harada-sensei why is there a girl in our class, isn't this an all boy's school?"
"Now, now calm down boys just because Thorel is a girl doesn't mean she isn't capable of doing our work," Harada-sensei explained.
"But still, she's a girl."
"Afraid she might be smarter than you Kaoru?" Heisuke smirked, pulling me closer to him. The boy named kaoru did not say another word instead, he just glared at Heisuke.
"That's enough can you two please take a seat so we can continue our lesson, please try to get to class on time in the future I do not want to have to give out detentions to my classes so I'll let you off with a warning." Harda-sensei said, pointing to the two empty seats at the back of the class.
The both of us bowed to him apologetically to him and moved down towards the two empty seats near the window. Heisuke glared at each of the boys that made the comments and whistles as we walked past them, especially the handful the constantly looked me up, down, and grinned at the sight.
"Rosie I want you to stay close to me at all times." He whispered. I looked over at him with a blank expression. 'Doesn't he know I'm staying close enough to him as it is?'
"Hey Rosie-chan, over here!" I heard my name being called out from across the school yard. I looked up from the ground to see my best friend and neighbour, Heisuke Toudou. He waved with a big smile and motioned me over. I ran over and greeted him with a warm smile and a friendly hug.
"It's been awhile, you've grown taller Rosie-chan."
"Heisuke, I saw you just last week" I reminded him. He laughed and messed up the top of my hair.
"I'm just teasing ya." I pouted and slapped his hand away before attempting to tidy up the mess he had made.
"So first day of high school, you excited or what?" he cheered. I shook my head. I wasn't too eager about coming here as it was just all guys. Heisuke convinced me that it'd be fun. I was stupid enough to agree.
"All the guys are…staring its beginning to freak me out"
"Stay close to me and you'll be fine, I won't let them get ya" he winked wrapping an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.
"Heisuke, who's the girl?"
"Are you two together?"
"I bet they are!" three boys shouted and pointed in our direction. I couldn't help but blush at their comments and questions. It may have crossed my mind a few times. That Heisuke and I could be more than just what we are now. But I'm also frightened that he wouldn't like the idea.
"Hey Rosie the bell's gone. You wanna get to class or not?" Heisuke said tugging on my blazer.
"Uh hai! I wasn't paying attention I'm sorry" I apologized, struggling to keep up with the teal eyed boy who dragged me close behind him.
"Hee? Heisuke, what are you doing with a girl? You know that this is an all-boys school. Not that I mind such a cutie pie like this one to wander around." A voice sounded from behind us. Heisuke immediately turned around and faced the second year student.
"Souji, I swear, touch her you're gone."
"Heisuke, chill its fine…I'm Rose Thorel, but most people call me Rosie it's nice to meet you" I held out my hand to the boy and he gladly shook it.
"Okita Souji, I'm a second year student. It's nice to finally have a girl around here." He smiled, suddenly the second bell rang. Both Heisuke and I jumped and began to panic. We didn't want to be late for class on our first day.
"We've gotta go Souji, see ya at lunch yeah?"
"Whatever… see you later Rosie-chan." without another word Heisuke, dragged me through the corridors in search for our class.
"Mr Toudou, MissThorel, you're late." Was what our homeroom teacher Harada Sensei, said as we burst through the door. From the corner of my eye I spotted the boys smiling like crazy, and one or two wolf whistles, were heard from the boys at the back.
"Ah so this is the girl huh?"
"She's pretty cute, cuter than what I expected"
"Hey! Come sit over here. There's a spot on my lap for ya!"
"Enough of that." Harada Sensei shouted from his desk. The boys quieted down and the teacher then turned his attention back to us.
"I'll let you off this time since it's your first day but try and get here on time. I don't want to hand out detentions to my students this year.
"Yes sir…" the two of us bowed to him apologetically and then moved towards the two empty seats in the third and fourth row near the window. As we walked down Heisuke, grabbed my hand and glared at each of the boys that made the comments and whistles. When we got to our seats I placed my head on the desk and stared out the window. This is going to be a long day.
