Chapter 1-: 5 Percent in Love
You see, everyday, I'm late for school. So, today being some random day of school for my final year in high school, my brother kicked me out early because he had a hangover. That's not a common thing my brother does (you know getting drunk and all), so knowing full well that I was going to be incredibly noisy in the morning (he being an older, meaner brother he is), got me out of bed, and dressed and told me to lay on the couch downstairs until it was time for me to go to school.
Even then, when I woke up in front of my T.V. I was running a tad bit late. By tad bit, I mean by half an hour. So, I kissed my bus goodbye having already missed it. I ran frantically to the front of the house, to catch my dad before he left for work. But luck wasn't running on my side. You bet, he was gone. Gone, whooshed, not there. So, now I was running forty-five minutes late. I then looked around for an answer, and there it was, almost glowing in the sunlight. There was a blue hard light mountain bike. It was calling my name, "Saaakkkuuurrraaa, rrriiidddee mmmeee."
See the only problem was that this was Touya adored bike. He was in love with it. In fact he guarded it all the time. There were at least three locks on the bike, so much for trusting the honour system of Japan. He had gotten it was a gift about eight years back, when he was in middle school from our mom. He had kept it in mint condition. So... was I supposed to go for the bike, and not be too late for school, or was I to walk and be very late for school.
The devil Sakura dressed in a red sexy cocktail dress on my left shoulder popped up. "You can take it and be back in time to return it before he is even able to think properly. No harm down."
Just as magically as the devil, an angel Sakura dressed in a white summer dress, modestly conservative strap less dress with white gloves popped up on my right shoulder. "No, dear Sakura, you really shouldn't. You know how much Touya loves that bike. It was after all from your late mother."
"Touya doesn't even believe in the honour system of Japan, take it! It's like it begging to be stolen." retorted the devil.
"Would you like it if Touya took your sakura blossom necklace from you? The one that your mother gave you?" asked the angel.
"That's dirty Saku! You can't say that!" sneered the devil
"Well, Kura, your nothing but an idiot for wanting her to ruin a bike. You know very well how Sakura is prone to more accidents than a normal person."
"Hey--" I began to object, the conversation seemed to have taken a turn.
"Yes. That's is true. Remember last time when she slipped into a container of yellow paint."
The angel sighed, "Not to mention she only fell into it because she was sleeping in class, and her hand slipped right from under her."
"It took almost four showers to get that yellow out."
"Yeah... and her uniform! We couldn't even get the paint out of that."
I mentally slapped myself, these guys were not about to help me, they were too busy trying to make fun of me. This always happened when that two popped out every time, they would agree with each other, than sigh about the crazy thing I did. This obviously meant that the bike, was completely out of question.
I ran back inside grabbed my roller skates, and looked to the clock, yes I wasn't that much of a bad girl. ANd, besides, I had just thought of getting out my roller skates. So, now I was running fifty minutes late. The second bell was going to ring in less that twenty minutes, school was at least a fifteen minute drive. I tightened the hold on my black school bag, and did a few quick stretches.
"Yosh! Let's do this. Make it to school in less fifteen minutes." I skated out the door with full speed. I was skating so fast, that everything around me was a blur.
"You know Sakura, this is like walking into a death trap." said Saku as she popped on to my right shoulder. She was sitting with her legs crossed.
"I have to get to school!" I replied quickly as I zoomed right into the next street. I was already down a few blocks and had a few more to go.
"She's not going to listen. She is very stubborn." commented Kura as she popped on my left shoulder.
"You guys know that this is bad for my self esteem." I muttered.
"I feel like something new and different is going to happen today, don't you?" Kura asked Saku.
She nodded her head, "Yes, something life changing."
"YES! I can see the school!" I squealed in triumph. The school was a large building with three divisions; the school flag hung beautifully, the dark blue with silver trimmings. I increased my speed even more.
"Yes!" I entered the gate just in time. "YES! Record time excellent job! HA! What do you make of that you pesky angels and before the bell too!" Now the only problem was stopping.
"Sakura--!" they both called, but it was too late. Of course they were unable to help me and so they poof-ed out.
I tripped on the curb of the entrance and went flying into a bush. I got up slowly; I could feel that I had slightly bruised my ankle. I looked up and gasped.
Oh my god! was all I could think. There in front of me were the most beautiful, inhumanly, gorgeous people I had seen in my long like of seventeen years.
A beautiful girl with long waved raven hair with deep violet eyes. She leaned gently on an equally gorgeous boy with dark navy hair that reached his ears; he had silver rimmed glasses that rested softly on the tip of his nose, covering his deep blue eye. He had a book in one of his hand, while the other played with the girl's hair. The two of them were reading the book in complete tranquillity. They harmonized each other terrifically.
Next to them was a boy with long shoulder length black hair, he had long eyelashes that were a stunning contrast to his skin, he was sleeping with his head leaning on another girl's head. She had long straight ebony hair that glistened softly in the sun; she was just as attractive girl as the one before. She was also sleeping soundly next to the boy.
But the one that really caught my breath was a boy with wild chestnut hair, which had random bits of glistening gold and dark hues of brown. He had stunning amber eyes that glowed as he watched the clouds move in the sky while he listened to music. Together they made a breath taking picture with nature, almost as if it was nature that could not compare up to their beauty. I was afraid to blink, fearing that this scene in front of me would disappear.
Without realizing I took out my cell phone and took a picture. The phone made a loud click; I looked up hastily, hoping they had not heard. But with my luck, five pairs of eyes looked at me. I swallowed, "Oh... crap..." I laughed nervously, "Uh... well... I... you see it quiet simple actually." I hung my head in embarrassment, might as well stick with the truth. "I'm sorry I couldn't help it... you guys are so pretty I thought I would never see that scene again and before I knew it, my hands took the picture. I'll delete it if you wan--"
DING... DING... DING...
"No the school bell! I'm sorry but I have to go! I can't be late again! Sensei is so going to kill me!" I said quickly as I got up of the ground and skated to the entrance of the school, I glanced back to see that all of them seemed to be highly amused by my little act.
"See I told you something would happen." said Saku as she popped onto my right shoulder.
"Hahaha! That was hilarious; just wait until I tell the others!" Kura laughed as she clutched her stomach.
"Hey, hey, you two are only supposed to pop up when I have to make a decision, so, you know, poof out." I said to the devil and angel.
I rushed over to my class, "GOOD MORNING!"
The class looked at me strangely, and started to laugh. "Good morning, Kinomoto" they greeted back.
I looked over to Mihara Chiharu, she was light brunette and had large eyes, she was sitting next to Yamazaki Takashi, her two year long boyfriend. She looked at me and smiled. "Ah, good the teacher isn't here yet. Hopefully she has a hangover or something. After all, Touya came home drunk last night. Would you stop grinning like that it's creepy." Mihara grinned and pointed over my shoulder. I swallowed. "She's right behind me, isn't she?"
Before I could say anything else, a binder hit me on the back of my head. "Kinomoto, how many do I have to tell you to come on time. And don't associate me with Touya."
I clutched my head in pain. And turned to glare at the beautiful woman standing in front of me. She had long auburn hair that trailed behind her like a Vail. Her warm brown eyes were glaring at me. She wore a black blazer with a red lace tank top and a short black office skirt. "Sensei when did you and Touya become on a first name basis."
Yet again, I got another swing of the binder, "Kinomoto get to your seat!"
"Kaho-chan! That hurts!" I complained as I made my way to my seat.
"It's Sensei." She said as she walked to the front of class. "Kinomoto come to my office for detention after school. Now class open your text books to page one-hundred and three." She swept a hand through her long hair, "We'll be working reading the 100 Perfect Girl by Murakami Haruki. Ayase-san please start."
I opened my text book and smiled, the story could almost describe the relationship my brother had with Kaho. They had been automatically drawn to one another, when Kaho became my brother's tutor in high school being his Senpai by one year. They had hit it off; in fact they have been dating for almost six years. Everyone is just waiting for the big announcement. I remembered asking Kaho about this story before.
The first time I had read it, I had squealed with excitement, but at the same time I felt sorrow for the couple if only they had remembered. With Kaho and Touya, they were incredibly compatible and they didn't blow their chance. A fact, I was highly envious of. Especially since I didn't have any close friends. It's funny really, since everyone seems to know me and wants to hang out with me, but I don't feel any attachment to them. She had told me, that I just had not met the person yet. And that, when I did, it would most likely have it ups and downs like everything else.
"If it's meant to be, you'll overcome it no matter what. Not all stories have happy ending, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it as it goes." were her words after she had listened to me. She had smiled and ruffled my hair like when I was a kid, and like all kids I wanted my knight in shinning armour, my soul mate. I can easily laugh at that now. Why had I thought like that? Because I had wanted someone to understand me, I suppose.
I took out my cell phone and using my book I made sure that Kaho-chan couldn't see. I opened up the picture I had taken a few moments again. I studied the picture with the five godly beauties. The one that still caught my eyes had been the amber eyed guy, using my left and right button I zoomed onto his face. He was almost perfect in looks, the eyes were symmetrical, the nose was long and thin, high cheek bones with a strong yet a soft jaw, and his hair. It seemed messy, yet it made him look better, the soft curls and random strands of hair the just added up to an out-of-bed model look.
His expression was so different. He seemed to be looking out for something, in a search almost. The deep colour of his eyes seemed to hold stubbornness and also loneliness. I felt my heart skip a beat. I raised my eyebrow and looked toward the direction of my heart. Okay, I barely know the guy; I doubt anything like that was happening. But, I had this odd feeling that there was something about him. Something, that reminded me of being loved and cared for by someone a long time ago. Someone, I had cried in front of. Someone, who I may have loved?
