AU: so This is my first fanfic. please be kind to me, just trying if i can make one hehe. Really sorry for my English grammar that's also the reason I tried to make this fanfic. I want to enhance my grammar.
Summary :
..grey-bluish eyes.. staring back at me.. her pale skin and those long midnight hair blocking her face.. who is this girl?.. she's just nothing but a dream, i know it
Prologue :
'..why are you smiling?'
I turn to the girl who's still sitting in the swings. My body aches a bit and a few bruises here and there. Dirt clunging on my clothes and my brand new shoes are not new as it looks now.
I'm dead if mom will see me later home. Wonder why I look beat up?
Some bad boys from my school tried picking up on her when I happened to pass by the playground. Even when they started shouting and pushing her off the swings,she kept silent keeping her head down hiding in those purple hoodie. When I noticed her start trembling I ran towards them. I just can't let them bully her so I got into fight with them. In the end, I'm beat up but I still win. Turns out one of them recognized me then they took off.
I looked at the girl again. I can't see half of her face because of the hoodie and the sun is setting behind us. I keep smiling at her.
'Well..because I'm happy? That's what smiling meant right?'
I chuckled a bit. She just kept her head down, looking down at her shoes. Somehow, I still find it cute and her voice so smaller than mine.
'You are an i-idiot. Shouldn't you b-be hurt? why keep.. smiling?'
I turned to look at the sunset. I just shrugged at her question.
'Hmm.. It's me I guess. Happiness should be share too so you have to smile.'
I grinned wide. Proud at what I had just said. She turns her head a bit at me, not enough too see her face. I don't know, but I'm sure she's looking at me skeptically.
'I don't get you'
'you don't have to'
'weird..'
I laughed at that and she looked away from me.
'Just smile. You have to smile for others. Hey! I still don't know your name. You're not from here are you? I never saw you before or at school'
She shifted a bit at the swing causing the chains to jingle. This is a small town. Sure everyone knows anyone here.
'What's your name?'
'd-does it matter?..'
She said almost in whisper.
'huh? it's your name so yes.'
'I..I-I shouldn't be talking to you'
'Why?'
'Dad said not to talk to strangers..'
I laugh again and she glance at me timidly.
'Mom 'n Dad also says that to me too but I always meet someone new and they become my friends. Heh I'm awesome huh? I have lot of friends now!'
I sat down at the swing beside her, moving back and forth.
'My name's Rit-'
I was cut off when a car honked repeatedly. There's a black car and a man rolled down the window looking at us. The girl stand up and before she walks away I quickly stand up. I stopped when I felt a pain at my ankle hurts. Must be sprained.
'W-wait!'
I gasped when I felt my ankle hurts again. She stopped and turned around.
'..?'
'Can I.. see you again?'
'I d-don't know'
The car honked again and she looked at the man at the car then at me. She pulled something out of her pocket.
'H-here.. T-Thank you, for s-saving me..'
I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion as I held my hand. I have no idea what it is though.
'That's a charm. T-thank you again.'
She bowed then walked towards the car. I stared at the charm. It's a weaved black and red bracelet with a small flat wood at the center. There's a carving but I can't understand it. I look at the girl getting in the backseat. The car roared its engine.
'Wait! I still dunno.. ' My voice trailed off.
'.. your name'
I whispered, dissapointed. Too late. The car is gone. I sigh as I pick up my bagpack then walk home. I didn't even saw her face. I bet she's cute. Chuckling at the thought. I stopped at our gate.
'I thought my feet... hurts?'
I rolled my feet severally to check it. But it didn't hurt no more. I also feel fine and more lighter?
I think I'm sick. And so, I get inside. Mom keep yelling half of hour at how tattered my clothes are and I lied a bit. I told her why but I didn't told about the girl I save and I don't know why. I felt like I don't wanna share what I know about her. Maybe because I still want to know more about her? I barely don't know her. I don't even know her name but she must be 7 years old like me. The charm reminds me of her and so I wear it everyday. I never saw her again.
I touched the black and red bracelet at my left wrist, feeling the carved words underneath my fingertips. It is obviously handmade like one of those personalized bracelets but its quite thicker and there are complicated twists of braids weaved together. It was nine years ago and I learn to forget the girl who gave this to me then.
'Hey! Those are my squidballs Yui!'
I poked my lunch from Yui's chopsticks then glared at her.
'Hehehe sorry Ricchan! I thought you're not looking. You're food is calling me.'
'No they're not! They're calling me'
'Yui-senpai stop stealing Ritsu-senpai's food!'
Azusa chided at her. Yui grinned sheepishly and mumbled an apology before continue eating.
I quickly shoved my squidballs in my mouth. I spaced out I forgot it's lunch right are all at the clubroom,taking lunch and chatting as usual. I stared at my lunch. Geez what is wrong with me today.
'Ricchan~ you're spacing out again'
Mugi whispered at me and I snap out. I look at her and she's looking at me as Azusa and Yui who's sitting across me and Mugi.
'You sure you're fine Ritsu-senpai?'
'Ricchan must thinking something?'
I shrugged at Yui.
'What is it Ricchan?'
'Nothing Mugi. Say can I have a cake now?'
I asked hopefully. Mugi smiled and nod before getting up. I quickly finished my lunch in seconds with Yui too.
'Me too Mugi-chan!'
She called at our Ojou-sama. Azusa sighed.
'I can't still believe I joined this club. We hardly even practiced!'
We laughed at her as she pouted making Yui cooed then pulled her into a hug. She tried to push herself from the firm inevitable hug but give in the end.
Azusa finished her food and Mugi set down a box with the cake inside. Another thing we find hardly believable, is our ojou-sama. She keeps insisting serving us but it should be us instead who serve her.
'Wow! Is that a new cake Mugi-chan?'
Yui exclaimed while drooling.
'Whoah! What's that cake Mugi?'
I asked staring deleciously at the cake. Heck! I bet I'm drooling too haha. She give each of us a slice.
'I wanna try this new product. One of the chef made it. Tell me what you think of it okay?'
'It looks elegant and delicious Mugi-senpai.'
'Thank you Azusa. Shall we?'
We all thanked her before tasting it.
'Hmm~ Its melting in my mouth!'
Yui shoved another piece blissfully. Sometimes I wonder if she really is the older Hirasawa considering Ui seems more act like the mature one. Well, Sawako can tell the difference between them easily.
'This is so good Mugi! You're chef must be really so professional. I can taste strawberry too!'
'Me too. I can taste the strawberry fillings'
Azusa second at me.
The whole lunch went on like that. It was like that everyday.
I'm the captain of our band,Hokago Tea Time. We founded it last year and we easily got the attention of the school body. Thanks to our adviser Sawako and her cosplays obsession. Sometimes we play a song or two every week then have fun. We spend most of the time for fun.
Summer just finished and school started a week ago. Mugi,Yui and I are starting our 3rd year in high school now while Azusa along with Jun and Ui,Yui's sister.
The bell rang as the lunch ended. We are all already finished and gone to our own classrooms. Mugi and Yui are in the same class so I just waved at them.
When I got to the classroom there's still no teacher. I ignored the others who staring at me and just took my seat beside Nodoka.
'Hey there Nodoka'
'Hey Ritsu-san. Is Yui in the class now?'
'Yup. Don't worry bout your bestfriend she's in the same class as Mugi'
She smiled and nod. This is Nodoka Manabe, the student council's president and Yui's bestfriend.
'Hell-O there Ritsu!'
I look up at the girl standing beside her are other 3 girls. Oh Hell..
'Uh..Ichigo, is it?'
Oh I think I know what is it. Can't they leave me alone?
'I'm thinking.. and I know you don't mean what happened at our date.. sooo'
She leaned down at me and I leaned back in my seat. I know I didn't mean to squeezed the ketchup all over her but I'm not regretting it. Damn! I have a good laugh at that even though she throw that sandal at my face that time. Didn't really end well.
'oh? sooo?'
I asked leaning away from her, smiling nervously. She smirked at me.
'I'll let you take me to a dinner.. tonight. Hm?'
I tried to hide my frustation and figure a way out. Of all fangirls, she's the most annoyingly persistent one, even though she stands out with her beauty.
'Sounds good but sorry Ichigo. We got a practice this afternoon and I already have plans tonight. Err right Nodoka?'
I glance at the bespectacled girl. Silently asking for help.
'Actually yes. It's for the event coming up this third week. Good thing you remembered practice Ritsu-san.'
'See Ichigo!.. I can't,sorry'
She huffed and stomped out of the room with her minions. Whew!
'Thanks Nodoka! Dunno you can make up that one haha'
She stared at me blankly.
'Bcoz I'm not..'
I stared at her then grinned nervously. I scratched the back of my neck.
'You forgot it. Didn't you listen during the meeting again Ritsu-san?'
She sighed and shakes her head.
'Hehe sorry'
'Just make sure you guys practiced later or I'll tell Ichigo-san you're not practicing today.'
She shot me a look and I nodded immediately. If I have to choose between my drums and Ichigo its so obvious I'll choose my drums than Ichigo clinging on me all day.
The teacher entered and class started.
I just need to drag myself for 2 years. After I finish highschool I'll go far away from here and become a famous drummer. My parents supported me in my dreams so its no big deal to them. An uncle of mine works in this famous recording studio in Tokyo. He's more than glad to accept after I finished high school. Then get to college at the same time.
Life's good for me.
Nothing will change it..
I hope...
