Inaba never changes. It's a small boring town with nothing to do but hang out with friends or just go home and do nothing there. It's so boring I actually WANT to waste time at school. Anything to kill time. Everyone thinks I'm weird. Maybe they're right, but that's not a bad thing... Is it?
My hair is light blue covering one eye and it's sholder length. Is that what makes then think I'm weird? I have to admit it is strange. Or maybe it's my personality? I act weird as well... That can't be it... No one has wanted to talk to me since the rumors about me being weird started. And once someone tells their friend a rumor, even if it is only one friend, everyone in town will know about the rumor by tomorrow.
Fortunatelly, I have one friend and a sister. They make me not feel lonely. Like it doesn't matter how weird I am i'm never alone. My best friend is Kako. She has pink long hair and pretty green eyes. She's considered weird as well. It's most likely because she hangs around me so everyone thinks she's odd. I told her she doesn't have to be my friend but she's been my friend since middle school. My sister, Akahana, isn't friendly towards people yet everyone wants to be her friend. She doesn't trust people easily and always listens to music on full blast. She has red hair unlike me. I really want to leave this boring town. When I realized I wanted to leave, it was the day I actually checked the mail and saw something that would change my life.
"Whats in the mail?" Akahana asked as I came in the house.
"Bills, ads, the usual." i thought it was normal junk mail, but one of the letters were surprisingly for me. I slipped it in my pocket.
"Ill take that then." She took the pile of mail and put it on the table. She put in her earbuds and continued listening to her music walking upstairs to her room. I opened the letter I slipped away.
'Dear Oka Fujiwara,
You have been given the oppertunity to transfer schools. Your achedemics aquired you this oppertunity. If you accept, you will be transfering to Gekko. high school. The following paper is a map to the dorm you'd be staying in and a train ticket to Tatsumi island.
-Kirijo group'
I don know who the Kirijo group is but it's a chance to get out of this boring town. I talked to mom and Akahana about it and they let me accept it. I called the number listed on the letter to accept the transfer. After telling them I'll miss them and such I was going out to tell Kako. Before I knew it as I was about to turn the doorknob someone rang the doorbell. I opened the door to see Kako with misty eyes. She looked so depressed. Why is she depressed if I haven't told her yet?
"Kako! I was just about to see you! I have bad news..."
"Is it as bad as mine?" She looked down. "...You go first..."
"Well... I'm being transfered to a new school so... I'm moving away and living in a dorm..." She suddently got happy. I take that alittle offensive. "What is it?"
"Im transfering to! Where is it?" I was looking at the letter when she took it from me.
"Hey!"
"Tatsumi port island! I'm going there too!" We both smiled. "Lets walk there together!"
"Actually, we should be running down there." I replied looking at my watch. We rushed to the train station making it on the train just in time. Kako and I sat in the front and she was watching tv. Her idol Risette came on and her eyes were completely glued on the screen watching her sing. We reached our stop right when she started singing. Kako was in a hurry to find the dorm.
"Whats with the rush?" I asked as she literally dragged me around.
"We have to make it before Risette is done singing!" She ran faster. Honestly, think she's already done. It's almost midnight. When we finally reached the dorm, we walked up to our rooms. No ones here. I suddently felt tired. Kako seemed worn out as well. Kako tried to turn oN the tv but failed. It wouldn't turn on.
"But! Rissete's on!" She said disappointingly.
"Must be broken. You should be focused on unpacking anyways." I commented unpacking my bags. Kako has the top bunk and I have the bottom. As soon as we finished we went to sleep worn out.
The next day we were late running to school. Our first day and we aren't on time. We ran to the train and by the time we entered the train, we were completely out of breath. We told each oher we're never running late again but I have a feeling it'll happen again.
Getting off the train, we could see the school. It looked newer, bigger, and cleaner than the one in Inaba. Looking around I saw a varity of people. Kako looked as excited as me if not more.
"I can't beleive we are in high school finally!"
"I know!" I replied. We headed inside and noticed the inside was cooler than the outside. It looked bigger on the inside as well. We both looked at the class rosters and noticed we were in the same class.
In the classroom, there was a wall with windows overlooking a beautiful veiw. The teacher ended up making us sit next to each other. He whole day was just introductions. It was pretty boring. Kako and I started to walk out the gates after school. We were going to look around some and then go to the dorm.
"Hi, girls. My name is Minato. Are you new here?" A guy with dark, short blue hair covering his eyes asked us. His eyes are a blue-grey color. He was pretty tall and skinny. He leaned back alittle. I have to admitt, he's kind of cute...
"Y-yeah, I-I'm O-Oka Fujiwara..." Who am I kidding? He's hot! I blushed.
"I'm Kako Sato. Nice to meet you." Kako casually shook his hand. He held his hand out again wanting me to shake his hand.
"N-nice to meet you, Mi-Minato..." I shook his hand. It feels so warm and soft. I blushed.
"Nice to meet you, too. Especially you, Oka." Hes' so calm and I look like a total idiot.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" I whispered jumping from excitement. "You, too, Minato..." I blushed trying to act as calm as him but it was most likely an epic fail.
"Can I get your number? I'll text you later..." Minato asked.
"Sure!" I blushed at the thought of having late-night conversations with him over the phone. I gave him my number.
"Yours, too, if that's alright." He turned to Kako.
"It's fine. Here," She gave him her number and we walked off.
"Oh my gosh! He's so hot!" I have been holding in that statement until we were far enough for him not to hear.
"Oka...good luck with him. I can tell he likes you."
"Really? Oh, yay!" He was so calm and I was an idiot. What gives her the idea he likes me? First thing I get into the dorm i'm texting him. I opened my phone as we entered he dorm and I saw Minato.
"Oh my gosh, we're in the same dorm!" I blushed, putting my phone away hoping no one would notice.
"Oh, Minato..."
"Oh, hey, Oka! I didn't know you were in this dorm."
"Neither did I..." I blushed.
"I'll just go," Kako said winking at me as she left. I mouthed 'thank you' as she replied with a 'welcome'.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked looking around.
"They're hanging out with their friends. My friends were hanging out with some one else. Mostly with girlfriends."
"What about you? You have a girlfriend don't you?" He must have one. He's hot and too good to be true. I looked at my feet at the thought of his answer being 'yes I have one' or even the thought of him saying 'are you hitting on me?' made me embarrassed.
"I don't have one. Well... I did..." He looked down now as if remembering something painful yet no tears fell. "What about you? You have a boyfriend in Inaba?"
"No... I'm a loser aren't I?" I sighed.
"Don't say that! That makes me think I'm a loser and about 1/3 of Japan who aren't a couple will think they're losers!" I laughed.
"I meant that I've been acting like an idiot since you first talked to me..." I looked down again fidgetting with my feet.
"You aren't an idiot or a loser. You seem like an awesome person! And..." He got quiet and alittle pink on his cheeks.
"And?" I looked up at him.
"And... You're... I mean... I think I love you..." He looked away from me so he could say it. His eyes were closed. I blushed more than he was.
"You know, I thought the same about you..." He looked up at me.
"Really?" He looked at me shocked.
"Yeah!"
"I know we've only met today but... Want to hang out sometime?" He asked calmly and casually. His face returned to it's original color. His eyes sparkled.
"Yes!" I smiled. I tried to stay calm like him but I couldn't help it. I hugged him in excitement. "Oh! I'm sorry!" I tried to back away thinking it was too sudden when all of a sudden he pulls me closer. Because I'm shorter than him, my head was on his chest. I could hear his heart. His hand was on my head. His head over my head.
"I don't mind. I actually like it." I blushed extremely. A guy in a cap opened the door some. I saw him with the cornner of my eye. His eyes widened and he slowly closed the door.
"Get back here." We stopped hugging and Minato talked to the guy with a goetee and a cap.
"So, what was that about?" He winked at Minato. "You gonna do 'it' with her?" He smirked. Minato shook his head disapprovingly. They walked upstairs. Kako came in a few minutes later. First thing she closed the door behind her, I ran up to her.
"Kako! Kako!" I jumped in excitement. "Minato asked me out!"
"Wow, awesome!" She replied.
"I hope he asks me to be his girlfriend..."
"Hey, I hope so, too! You look great together!" Im happy to hear that from someone other than myself.
"Well, let's get some rest. I'm tired!" I walked near the stairs and the cap wearing guy came down.
"Hey, ladies!" He winked, "I'm Junpei Iori! Nice ta meet ya!"
"I'm Kako Sato!"
"And I'm Oka Fujiwara!"
"Nice to meet you!" we replied in unison as if we practiced saying it.
"Talk to ya later! I've gotta go with Minato and our other friends to go trai-I mean, uh...go to...the...mall to shop!...Yeah, that's it!"
"O...kay?" Hes so weird.
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
Finally I reached our room. I took the bottom bunk because I'm always afraid of rolling off the top bunk and landing on the floor. Everything that belonged to Kako was pink, her favorite color. My stuff was blue, my favorite color. I fell asleep immediantly. I had a dream about me and Minato's date, but I goofed up and he ended up not liking me.
