The unusually excited voices fill the air. The light pink flower petals drift in the sky like a bird first taking off, refreshing and breathtaking. Students crowd in front of the school's gate, awfully resembling ants going back to their nest.
All the noise soon subdues as the principal comes up and gives his regular speech to the bored students below. As soon as he finishes, all the lines of students break and the whole ground is once more bursting with chatting sound. The first year students try to make new friends while the second and third year go find theirs. And of course, Shirai Kuroko is also one of them.
"Congratulations, Shirai-san!" Wannai Kinuho beams. She's a sweet and timid girl, with brown hair and blue eyes. She is often seen accompanied by Awatsuki Maaya, who has unfortunately got sick and has to stay at home today.
"Hm?" the pig-tailed girl frowns, not understanding what the other girl is talking about.
"You are the council president this year, aren't you?"
"Ah. Ah, yes."
Tokiwadai High School has a different kind of electing. Instead of voting like other schools, the teachers just simply choose from the top 10 students and give them positions in the council based on their strong points and personalities. Kuroko, with top score and bossy personality, is obviously the president (she doesn't think she's bossy, though).
"Aren't you yourself the secretary?"
Wannai just smiles sheepishly.
"What class are you in, Shirai-san?"
"2A."
"That's great! We are all in the same class then."
"We…all?"
"Yes. You, me, Awatsuki-san and Kongou-san."
Kuroko wrings her nose in dismay.
Kongou Mitsuko, her one and only rival. She is an awkward girl, who, for some reason, thinks that she is better than Kuroko in every way. She has made a huge fuss upon hearing that Kuroko will get to boss her around this year, as she is only the vice president.
So that annoying girl is in my class.
The thought that she will have to listen to that girl rambling all day gives her a much-more-than-just unpleasant feeling. She is so lost in her own thought she doesn't even notice Wannai excusing herself and leaving. A moment later, she decides to leave when she looks up and sees a fainted smoke slowly dissolve into the sky.
She's there again.
She walks up the stairs and uses the special key given by the teachers to the roof. Sitting right in front of her is a chestnut-haired girl with eyes of the same color. She is wearing the same uniform as hers, with an addition of a jacket wrapped around her waist. Her leg curls up, the other stretches out. A cigarette's pressed between her lips. Upon seeing her, the girl's face breaks into a grin.
"Yo."
She, once again, confronts the most annoying person on Earth.
Misaka Mikoto.
If you call Kongou a thorn in the eyes, Misaka Mikoto can be considered a large wooden stake. For her, the student council president, their difference is that of polar opposites.
The day she first met Misaka Mikoto is as normal as ever. She was bored and had nothing to do when a classmate from the gardening club asked her to help water the flower. Consequently, she agreed. While watering the flower beds, she noticed somebody hiding behind a wall corner, with the same position and a cigarette. Instinctively, she scolded the girl but the older girl just brushed her off, which is also what's happening now.
"Don't just 'Yo' me!" Hands on hip, she shouts in exasperation.
"Yeah, yeah, Miss President." Says Mikoto as she puts out the cigarette with something in her skirt's pocket. The sarcasm is impossible to miss.
"As the president, I have full right to give you a detention for smoking on school's ground."
"Well, this is not exactly school's 'ground', is it?" Says the older girl in a laughing tone.
"…It's not funny." A scowl begins to sketch on Kuroko's face.
Mikoto laughs, then stands off, dusts off her skirt and simply walks away.
Then all the younger girl sees is the familiar back, a waving hand and a teasing smile.
"See you again, President."
Kuroko sighs. Despite what she said, both she and Mikoto know that she can't really do anything to Mikoto. The Misaka Mikoto, the school delinquent and genius. Not only is her father the most influent people in the country, she is also a prodigy who has finished university at the age of 14. It is said that she just goes to school for fun, as she doesn't have anything to do after succeeding turning the dream of sonic flying car into a reality. Thanks to her, no students in Japan don't know about Tokiwadai. Why would the school bother to punish her? She can practically do anything she likes and get away with it easily. She has the privilege to.
But Kuroko disagrees.
Even if she is a prodigy, why goes to school when all you do is breaking rules? As such, she should just stay at home and enjoy the luxury of a rich lady. Since most students in Tokiwadai are wealthy and her family is not an exception, she can't accept such unladylike behavior, coming from the famous Misaka family at that. However, after knowing that there's nothing she can do, she decided to stay away from the ill-behavior prodigy for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, that annoying face keeps appearing in front of her, frustrating her to no end. In the end, she gives up. She will still give her a lecture whenever she catches her smoking and get infuriated every single time. Yeah, that's it.
Her hatred for Misaka Mikoto truly has no end.
A/N: Hello guys, long time no see! I've been really into another fandom, so I kinda neglect this one a little. But I'm back!
And well, you see, this is my first time writing a series. I have always written one-shots before, so this is a new experience to me. So reviews are really needed and appreciated. Also, thank DsCrystalEyes for betareading, though he is not a shipper of MikoKuro or yuri. Thank you very much!
I have a favor to ask of you guys: Does anyone want to be my betareader for this? Ds is a great betareader, but he's not a fan of yuri, so I think it will be better to ask a MikoKuro fan. Also, anyone gets a better name for this story? It sounds mouthful to me...
