Ace of Spades
Chapter 1: Beginning to Hell
"Oi, wake up!"
I groaned, twisting my body around to block out the blinding ceiling lights. Planting my face back into the soft pillow, I fluttered my eyes, aware of the constant nudging of the bunk bed.
"Come on Echizen!" Momo exclaimed, "Get up or else we'll miss breakfast!"
Closing my eyes back up, I sighed and rolled back over, "Five more minutes…" I mumbled
An annoyed grunt was heard, "Fine, if you want to get a detention on your first day," Momo muttered, "Just don't blame me when the principles comes after you."
With that being said, I inaudibly groaned again before slowly supporting myself up, "Who the hell made these stupid rules?" I grumbled
Momo, who had his arm rested on the bunk bed rail, raised a brow, "I say you get dressed first," he suggested before hopping off, "You have ten minutes before breakfast starts."
I rubbed my eyes, "I hate this place…"
-Ace of Spades-
Ten short, quick minutes before I was pulled out the door and hurried down to the cafeteria. Passing through gothic looking corridors and dodging past scouting teachers, we finally arrived at the glass doors leading to the cafeteria. And well, I have to say, the cafeteria looked more modern and freshly designed compared to the rest of the school.
"Toast, Dutch pancakes, waffles…" Momo murmured as the glass doors automatically slid open for us, "Looks like breakfast is the usual…."
I glanced up at the piece of paper that was stuck on the door, "Western style breakfast…" I mumbled, "Haven't had that in a while."
Momo chuckled, "More traditional at home?"
Folding my arms as we fell in line with the other students, I merely stared at the busy bistro, "Traditional food tingles my appetite a little more than western food," I replied
Upon fetching a few pieces of toast, margarine and a glass of juice, I trailed after Momo who had his tray filled with various pastries, breads and pancakes along with different flavored waffles.
"How can you eat so much?" I muttered, blinking at the platter of breakfast that was piled before my eyes
Momo shrugged, "Big appetite," he answered, sitting down on the chair opposite to me, "Fast metabolism."
I sighed before getting started on my own piece of toast. Carefully spreading the margarine across the soft surface of the bread, I worked extra cautiously around the edges and crusts.
"Oh hey, Momoshiro!" a voice suddenly interrupted as a figure appeared next to our table
Looking up, my eyes met with a boy with quite a broad figure, dark chocolate hair that swung over his left eye like a fringe and extreme deep blue eyes. He flashed a grin at Momo who identically grinned back.
"What's up Kamio?" Momo greeted, the two giving each a small friendly fist, "Out for a morning run again?"
This 'Kamio' guy sat down on the chair between Momo and I, "Yeah," he agrees, "Gotta beat that Oshitari ya' know."
Momo snickers, "Maybe you'll never beat him," he retorted, "Maybe your just the speed you're now at."
"Nice of you to say that!" Kamio playfully punches Momo in the shoulder, "At least I am not like you, lazing around and doing nothing!"
Snorting, Momo suddenly drops the fork he was holding onto, "I am not doing nothing these days," he argues before gesturing at me, "Being helping my new roomy around."
"New roomy?" Kamio questions before turning around
I gave him a small nod, "Echizen Ryoma," I introduced, "First year."
He smirked, "Kamio Akira," he utters, giving me friendly fist, "Second year, House of Onyx vice captain," Kamio addresses, "You a fast runner?"
Feeling a confused light frown crease my brows, I shrugged, "Not really," I replied, "I don't' see myself as one."
"Damn," Kamio cursed, "I was hoping you would be," he mumbled before turning back to Momo, "I am kinda getting tired of that Oshitari you know."
Momo laughed, "Why? Cause you can't beat him?"
"Hey! Shut up!"
-Ace of Spades-
"First period," Momo sighed and stretched as we arrived back in our dorms, "What do you have?"
Reaching into my uniform pocket and fishing out a folded piece of paper that the principle gave me yesterday, I quietly unwrapped it before studying the marked classes.
"I think its Geography first," I declared before passing the piece of paper to Momo
He carefully glanced at the written classes, "Geography, Languages, World History," he mumbled out before raising both of his brows up, "You're taking up Geology as an extended subject?"
I frowned, "What?"
Momo turned the paper around and waved it in my face, "Geology as an extended subject!" he cried, "You're already doing two natural sciences so why on earth would you take up Geology!"
Feeling a migraine slowly beginning to grow, I rubbed my temples, "Damn my stupid oyaji…" I muttered
"I feel sorry for you Echizen," Momo gave me a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, "You'll be stuck with the third years…"
I looked up, "What? Aren't they nice people?"
Momo shook his head, "No, they're nice," he uttered, "Just that you'd be a little alone in that class."
I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Mada Mada Dane."
-Ace of Spades-
Upon the bells ringing around the school and students rushing out of their dorm rooms with their books and pens, Momo also decided it was time to drag me out and show me to our morning classroom. Lucky for me, I still had my roomy for my first class here at this misery old school.
"So the main classrooms are here, in the C building," Momo declared as we pushed the heavy wooden doors leading into the gothic structure open
I raised a brow at the long winding corridors and warmly lit chandelier lights that hung from carved ceilings. Walking in, I couldn't but to feel like I was standing in the middle of some medieval church that was haunted by ghosts.
"Here's the geography classroom."
Suddenly turning into quite a modernly designed classroom, I blinked at the massive difference between the outside corridors and now this new setting. Instead of old carvings and chandelier lights, the room was decorated with various geographic posters, shelves of books, an interactive wall that was currently used as a whiteboard, black polished desk with their complementary chairs and rows of newly upgraded computers that would've been selling millions on the current market.
"Momoshiro!" a voice suddenly cried out, "I haven't seen you in ages!"
Blinking in the direction the voice came from, I was immediately greeted by a boy, around the same height as Momo with light amber hair and deep blue eyes approach us.
"Oh hey! Sengoku-san!" Momo grinned back, doing the friendly punch move again, "We thought you died out there!"
"What!" the amber haired boy exclaimed with shock, making Momo crack up into laughter, "Where did you hear that?"
Momo's grin widened, "I am just kidding man," he teased, "Though reports did come back saying that it's pretty dangerous outside."
A smile appeared, "Yeah it is," this 'Sengoku' agreed, "My old man nearly died in that Tokyo attack a few weeks back."
"Well let's hope that it never happens again," Momo declared before nudging me in the head, "Oh and meet my new roomy here."
In an sharp instant, the amber haired boy grinned down at me, "Nice meeting you," he remarked, sticking out quite a scar covered hand, "I'm Sengoku Kiyosumi, third year, House of Jade."
Nodding, I took his offering hand, "Echizen Ryoma," I introduced, "First year, new student."
Sengoku chuckled, "Hope you make it through here, mini first year," he ushered, "You may be a great use to this school."
I raised a brow at his words, "What do you me-"
"Yes! I am not late today!" a sudden loud cry interrupted my sentence
Turning around, I blinked at the boy who jumped around on his feet like a wild monkey. Hair red as a blazing fire and light hazel orbs that shone like stars in the night sky, the short redheaded boy stared at me with wide eyes.
"Who are you?" he screeched in my ear, "I haven't seen ya around before!"
A sigh was heard from Sengoku-san as he shook his head and began to trot away, "I'll leave you juniors to deal with it," he muttered before sneaking out the door
Momo snickered, "Looks like you'll have a friend, Echizen." He insisted
I felt a brow twitch at the redheaded boy who continued to grin at me like an idiot, "Echizen Ryoma, first-"
"So you are first year huh!" he cried, "I knew it! I finally have a buddy!"
Feeling my body suddenly crushing against somebody's chest, I groaned after several hard whacks were delivered to my back, "I'm Tooyama Kintaro!" cheered the hyper boy before letting me go, "First year! House of Peridot!"
"Kin-chan-" A warning tone was heard before the redheaded boy was pulled away from me, "What did buchou say about physical contact with strangers?"
"Eh? Zaizen-kun?" Momo uttered as a boy with spikey midnight black hair and a pair of jade green eyes dragged the redheaded Tooyama Kintaro into the classroom
I frowned after the hyper student as he was towed away, despite all the complaining and whining that was heard. Momo, who stood and watched the seen this whole time snickered as he ushered me into the classroom.
"Fun class huh?" he winked
Grabbing a seat next to him, I shrugged, "I still think that it's hell here,"
Momo snorted, "Seems like you're hard to convince." He muttered
I smirked, "Mada Mada Dane."
