I've been thinking of doing this story for quite a while already (since 6th grade), so here it is! It revolves around a girl (my OC) named Sakurai Shizumi (bonus points if you know what her name means!) who is forced to become Teikoku's manager. The girl on the cover is how I imagine her to look like but I colored the eyes red with paint because the original picture had green eyes and Shizumi is supposed to have red eyes. So enjoy~

Shizumi's POV

With a book clutched to my chest, I speed walked down the hall of the huge school that I attend, also known to everyone Teikoku Gakuen, a prestigious private school and home of the best soccer team in Japan. There were not a lot of people still out in the halls, as class was almost starting, so everyone was just minding their own buisness and trying to get to class on time. I always come to school early and hang out in the library until the first warning bell rings but today, I must have been too focused and not heard the first warning bell, so when I heard the second bell and saw the clock, I had to pick up my walking pace.

As I dashed by a clock, my pomegranate-like eyes glanced at the minute hand and saw that I only had thirty seconds left before the final bell rings. I lower my head and walked even faster, my long black hair trailing behind. It would be bad if my parents saw that I got my first detention for being late because of a book.

I had always been the shy, quiet type who blended in with the crowd. I was smart like everyone else who attended Teikoku Gakuen, and I never got in trouble. My uniform was always clean and ironed and in perfect condition. But I wasn't Ms. GoodyTwoShoes either, so I guess that meant I was an average student. There were a lot of students who attended Teikoku Gakuen, and I blended in perfectly. Since all my time in this school, I had never been the center of attention even once except when I am giving a presentation in class. But you get what I mean.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone and fell backwards onto my butt. The person that I had bumped into stumbled backward clumsily, but didn't fall. What I should have done was quickly stand up, apologize and hope that I still get to class on time, but instead, my body just froze on the ground when I heard the awkward silence and felt all eyes staring at me. That was not a good sign since I've never had an audience before, and I had a bad feeling about this.

Slowly, I raised my head and saw... oh no. Just my luck. I had came face to face with Kidou Yuuto, the most popular boy of our school.

He was the Commander's pet, the spoiled prince who could be late to class and still have a perfect record. Everybody treated him as a superior because if you get on his bad side, he could go tell the Commander and have you punished or expelled. The Commander would also expel anyone who injures a member of the soccer club, claiming that the school has a no bullying policy, but everyone knew that it was actually because an injured player has an overall negative effect on the team, which was the Commander's pride and treasure.

I had already broken one of the rules, and there was a really good chance that Kidou was going to hate me because of that. There was one thing left that could possibly save me. I stood up, and bowed. "Moushiwake arimasen," I apologized, still in the deep bow, waiting for him to either dismiss me or take me to see the Commander who will then expel me. help my breath and waited for the answer. Please, oh please god, let him be in a good mood today...

"Come with me," Kidou said and grabbed my wrist. Then he dragged me along in his large confident strides towards the Commander's office with me stumbling behind

I know I was dead for sure. I had broken both of the rules, so never mind being late to class and getting a detention. Now I was probably getting expelled twice if that was even possible. Yeah, my parents are not going to be happy I got kicked out of the best school in Japan.

Kidou knocked on the door, and I heard the Commander's familiar voice say, "Come in," as if beckoning my death. I had never been inside the Commander's office before just like most of the normal students, and with a deep breath, I stepped into the dark room behind Kidou with a heavy heart. How fitting that I was never a star shining bright that my life was going to end in a dark, secret room where barely anyone has been.

I stood near the door waiting as Kidou walked up to the Commander and said something quietly to him which I couldn't hear. Then the Commander also said something back then pulled out a file on the computer that could no doubt be mine, and the two conversed like that for a while, all of it unaudible to me all the while I prepare for the worse, which was definitly an expulsion. Then the final bell rang, indicating the start of class, and my anxiety rose even more. Can't they just chop off my head and be done with it? But no, they had to first chop off my limbs one at a time. Oh I get it now. This was part of my punishment because I deserved to have two punishments for breaking both the rules. They wanted to make me suffer.

Finally, the two stopped talking and the Commander looked up at me. "Come here," he said in his low voice. I swallowed what felt like a lump of sawdust in my throat, and slowly walked up to the Commander's desk.

"Sakurai-san, you know our school does not tolerate hurting other students," he droned, "Therefore, to disipline you..."

I braced myself for the next words, because I already knew what they were going to be.

"You can either become the soccer club's manager or be expelled from Teikoku Gakuen. Normally, I would have you immediately kicked out, but Kidou here has suggested that you become the soccer club's manager since they need one."

Wait what? I wasn't going to be expelled? And since when in Teikoku Gakuen's history did they ever have a manager?

"We're waiting," said Kidou, breaking through my thoughts of confusion.

"Huh?" I replied instinctively.

"What will it be? Become a manager or leave the school?" asked Kidou with a small smirk. I could detect a hint of amusment in his voice.

"I'll become a manager," I squeaked. Somehow, that aura he gave off made my legs feel like jelly and made my voice quiver. It was just fear, right? I was always a timid girl. But I didn't feel afraid in the usual way at all. Or rather, it was a feeling as if Kidou was controlling me completely, physically and emotionally, and I had to bow down and obey.

Looking at me through those black lenses, the Commander boomed like the god of justice, "Then starting on the first practice today after school, you are the official manager of Teikoku's soccer club until you graduate from Teikoku Gakuen."

So how was it? I'm finally going to try working on another longer fanfic with chapters. Genda and Sakuma are probably going to appear in the next chapter. Fudou isn't going to appear until later into the story because Shizumi first meets him when he goes into Genda and Sakuma's hospital room. Please R&R!
