Chapter One: Kagura's Decision
It was the beginning of her third year. It was like a breath of fresh air, another level in society and one step closer to life outside school. But there was something bothering her.
That something always made her scream inside, even when her face was completely blank. It sent her through bouts of daydreams, a something that no one in her circle had even spoken of.
The something that was bothering Kagura: lack of a boyfriend.
It was no big deal for many of the girls in the school as they had had boyfriends during their junior-high years. But for her it was a much more personal matter. She never had one, and what was worse was that no boy had ever asked her. It was like they didn't even know of her existence.
What should I do? I mean, I guess I'm not that ugly. But still…Her thoughts trailed off to her dream guy. Unlike the others, her ideal boyfriend was something of a smart-boy. A bookworm. She pieced together an ideal boyfriend with arbitrary things.
Not too tall…not too short…average in height. Not a sharp dresser, normal short-cut hair. Good manners...skinny….yeah. With glasses.
The image painted itself in her mind. But just before she could think of anything further….
BAM!
Kagura jerked backwards, jumping in shock as an English book was slammed on her desk. With nothing to say, she just looked up to see Yukari-sensei standing there picking the book back up from its position.
"…like I was saying, I'm expecting your explanations of English sentence structures to be on your homework for tomorrow….which means no cheating Tomo."
Tomo froze on the spot, her seat across the room making a creaking sound as she tried her best to not make eye contact. Kagura sighed quickly as Yukari-sensei walked away from her desk, moving instead to berate Tomo. Fiddling with the paper and pencil in front of her, the all-sports girl began drawing small faces in the corner, hoping that school would end soon. As she drew, she noticed the faces becoming more and more like the boy she envisioned in her mind's eye. It was then that she made her crucial decision.
That's it…I'm going to get myself a boyfriend.
I understand, it's a short chapter, but I thought it would be a good idea so that I could collect my thoughts for this story. Please let me know what you think =D.
