Chapter 2

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm clock and the sun streaming through the window.

'Grrrr...first day of school. I hate first days of school.' I thought, feeling grouchy. I threw the covers off of me and looked towards the ceiling. "Better take that down." I muttered, standing on my tip-toes to reach it.

Once I had rolled it up, I was about to throw it out but I couldn't bear to. What would happen if I threw it out and it has something to do with my life? But of course, surely it didn't. "I must be in my mother's old room."

I sighed and stuffed the picture into my drawers then I headed to the bathroom to do my usual morning routine.

Once I was done in the washroom, I walked right into the closet. "Hmm...what to wear, what to wear. Oh, of course. My school uniform." I sarcastically said to myself, taking the red uniform down from the hooks. Actually, I loved this new uniform. Red was my favourite colour.

I quickly changed into it. Then I went to my dresser. I fixed my hair so that half of my hair on top of my head was tied with a red ribbon and the rest of just down. I switched my silver hoop earrings to my red ones. Then I applied some lip gloss, eye liner and finished up with water-proof mascara.

I grabbed my bag and stuffed my new notebooks and pens into it. My mom informed me that all my textbooks were already in my locker...I just had to find it.

I began to walk out of my room, taking a look in my mirror once more. I smiled to myself and walked down the stairs, carefully closing my door for privacy.

"Hey Grams. Hi mom." I greeted the two women already at the breakfast table.

"Hello sweetie." "Hello Yumi."

I sat down and stared at the eggs and bacon on my plate. "Can't I have cereal?" I asked, feeling disgusted.

"No." my mother replied as my gram said at the same time, "Yes."

They stared at each other and laughed it off. I raised my eyebrow and got up to get a bowl and milk.

"Yumiko! I said no!" my mother called to me.

"Yeah well, you listen to your elders first. They're wiser." I answered.

Grandma laughed.

I quickly finished up my breakfast. "Ok gotta go. Don't wanna be late for the first day of school." I told them, pretending to be cheerful. I placed my new shoes at my feet and put them on. "I'll be home later. Bye."
I headed down the street towards my new school. I had already found out the quickest route there and back on the Internet. Sighing I quickened up my pace so I truly wouldn't be late.

Finally, I was at the front doors of the school. I took a deep breath and walked inside right to the front desk. "Hi! Um, I'm a new student here." I told the secretary.

"Hello, dear. Ok, well, do you know what number your locker is?" the elderly woman asked me. I nodded. "Ok well then go find that number. It should be down the east hall." she told me.

I thanked her and walked towards the east hall, quickly finding my locker. Which I was sharing with someone.

"Hey. I'm Higurashi Yumiko. I guess I'm sharing this locker with you." I told the girl who was standing beside me.

"Hi. Suzuki Yoko. Oh! I'm going to be late. We can talk later ok?" she said quickly, hurrying off to her first class.

"She seems nice." I whispered, grabbing my textbooks for my first two classes and placing my my unnecessary notebooks into the locker.

"You think so?" a sudden voice said behind me. I turned around in surprise and dropped my books. "Oh great." I muttered, bending down to pick them up. The guy that I had bumped into also began to pick 'em up.

"Sorry 'bout that." He apologized. "I'm Tanaka Ryuu. If you want, for me being so nosy, I could show you around?"

I didn't want to accept this offer but I didn't want to get lost. "Ok fine."

"And your name?"

"My name is Higurashi Yumiko." I replied. I took a look at him. He was pretty hot. Ryuu had a strong build, perfect for his name. He had jet-black hair and mesmerizing purple eyes.

He was looking at my schedule, while people buzzed around us. "Well, ok. You have homeroom Five. Let's go." He took me by the arm and practically dragged me to the west hall, where he showed me where my class was.

"Thanks."

"No prob. Catchya later?" he winked and left me.

The teacher walked out of the room. "Hello. You must be Yumiko. Welcome to this school. When I introduce you, you can walk in ok?"

I smiled. "Ok." I was in a good mood because of Ryuu. He was definitely hot.

"Good morning Class."

"Ohio, sensei." the class greeted.

"Today we have a new student. Please, welcome Higurashi Yumiko."

I walked into the class slowly, looking at everyone's faces. Several guys jaws dropped. 'Am I really that ugly? Seriously, at least keep your mouth closed.' I thought angrily, my mood dropping.

"Higurashi-san, would you like to say anything?" the teacher offered.

I gave the class a million-dollar smile. "Hi. Nice to meet you."

"Ok, Higurashi-san, please take the seat over there, by the window." Sensei told me, pointing to an empty desk. I nodded and head over, placing my books gently on the table and sitting down.

The class whizzed by and before I knew it, I was surrounded by a bunch of girls.

"Hi! I'm Wakanabe Naomi."

"Hey. I'm Momoka."

"Hello, the name's Sakura."

I was greeted by everyone telling me their names. I tried to remember them and their faces as fast as I could, which surprisingly wasn't even hard. "Hey." I told them.

"Oi! Yumiko! Come on! We have to get to your next class!" a male's voice could be heard from the door. I looked over to see Ryuu standing there, calling for me. I nearly melted.

Some of the girls gasped. "You know Ryuu-kun? He's like, the most hottest, most popular guy in the whole school!"

I look taken back. "Nah. He's just showing me around. It's really nothing. Ok, well I got to go. See you girls later." I got up and joined him at the door, walking towards my next class.

"She's lucky!"

"Oh no, his fan club is gonna be soo pissed!"

"We totally got to protect her! She's so innocent!"

With that, all the girls rushed off towards their next class.


At Gym Before Lunch

I looked at my gym uniform in admiration. It was truly awesome. The shorts were red and the t-shirt was white, with a wild cat on the front. After all, our school is the Wild Cats.

"Let's go, Yumiko!" Naomi, the girl from before rushed me.

"Ok, Naomi!" I answered.

"Hey, you remembered my name!"

"Yeah. Come on!"

We ran out of the changing rooms laughing about a joke that Sakura had made. I could see that we were sharing the gym with another class. And in that class was Ryuu!

We sat down with our class.

As the teacher went on about horizontal bars and such, I kept glancing at Ryuu, and I noticed that he looked at me a couple of times...which made me blush.

"You like him, huh?" Naomi whispered. Naomi was on my right side while Sakura was on my left. We were already close friends.

"It totally looks like it." Sakura said quietly.

I blushed deeper. "Nuh-uh! I do not!"

They giggled. "Yes you do!"

Finally the teacher called my name. "Higurashi Yumiko. Can you please show us how to do the horizontal bar?"

I had already learnt this at my old school so it was a breeze. I walked towards the bar, and took it in my hands. I swung myself over it a couple of times then landed on the mat gracefully.

The class clapped for me. "Higurashi-san! That was amazing!" the teacher exclaimed. I smiled, feeling a bit embarassed. No one had gotten it properly except me.

Once I sat down in my original spot I looked towards Ryuu. He was smiling at me and gave me a thumbs up. I blushed deeply and tried to push Sakura and Naomi away as they kept nudging me.

Once gym class was over I noticed a couple of girls heading towards me. "Hi, Yumiko? You were great in there! Ok, we'll make this quick. We know this is the last semester but the football season is just starting and we have an extra position on the cheerleading squad. At lunch, you mind showing us some moves just to reassure us that you can fill the spot?" the head girl asked me, giving me a sweet smile.

"Sure." I answered, calmly. Inside I was screaming my butt off.

"Great!" she said. "Oh, and you can call me Hoshiko."

I nodded as they left.

"Be careful, Yumiko. They can get really evil. They are also Ryuu's fan club and they try to get rid of every girl that gets too close to him." Naomi told me, while we were changing.

"They can't be that bad." I shrugged off the thought of them trying to kill me.

"Ok, well lunchtime! We want to introduce you to one more person in this little group of ours. We even have our own table. She gets angry easily but only with people who are hurting her friends. Don't worry, she'll like you." Sakura said, happily.

I followed them out of the change rooms and nearly jumped ten feet when I saw Ryuu leaning against the opposite wall.

"Sheesh, you girls change long." He complained. His bangs were over his eyes, which made his extremely hot.

Sakura and Naomi went silent. They always did when people more popular were around.

"So, Yumiko. You gonna eat with these girls then? Ok, that's fine with me. But promise you'll eat lunch with me tomorrow ok?" he asked, walking closer to me.

"Sure. Ok, I promise." I replied, smiling. Naomi nudged me. "Oh! Ryuu, this is Naomi and Sakura." I introduced.

"Hey. Ok so don't forget, aight? I got somewhere special and you don't want to miss it. K, catcha later then." He winked at me and walked towards a group of boys who were heading towards the cafeteria.

"Oh my Kami!" Naomi and Sakura screeched. "We can't believe! You got a date with him!!"

I blushed tomato-red. "Not really. It's just lunch. At school." But inside I was also excited. This was great!

They grabbed me and dragged me towards the cafeteria. "We totally got to tell Kohana!"

'Kohana?' I thought, slightly confused.

Before going over to a table, we grabbed lunch trays and got some sandwiches, pop and a snack. Then Naomi and Sakura walked off towards a table off to a side and I quickly followed them.

At a table there was a girl sitting there, happily eating her lunch and reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.

"Kohana, this is Yumiko. She's a transfer student." Naomi introduced me. Kohana had shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. "Hey." she greeted me, not looking up from her book.

"Uh, hi." I thought it was rude to not even look at someone when speaking to them but I didn't say so. I quickly sat down and began to eat my lunch while listening to Naomi and Sakura talk about everything.

"Hey guys. Hey Yumiko, Hoshiko wants to see you now." Momoka told me, taking a seat beside Kohana.

Finally Kohana looked up. "You're seeing Hoshiko? No way! Nuh-uh! She's totally evil! Don't go!" Suddenly, Kohana seemed like a differently person. Her eyes were flaring and she seemed angry.

"I'll be back." I assured them, walking off.

"Can you even cheer?" Naomi asked.

"Just watch me." I winked and walked towards the most popular girls' table.

"Oh, Yumiko! Hey! Ok, team, this is Yumiko. She might be able to fill the spot of Izumi. Ok, Yumiko show us something." Hoshiko sneered and I gave her a smile.

"Ok then." I answered before taking a couple of steps back. I knew instantly that they wanted to embarrass me but I was going to give it my everything. After all, I am a cheerleader.

The whole cafeteria went quiet but I ignored it.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Wildcats are ready! Wildcats are smooth! Wildcats will take control! And stomp all over you!" I shouted while doing a quick routine for the cheer.

The cheerleading squad was speechless. I smiled. The whole cafeteria cheered and applauded for me.

"Want another one?" I asked, happy that they liked it.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" was the chant that continued and continued.

"Ok! OK!" I shouted, trying to overcome the loudness of the room.

"We are the Wildcats! We can't be beat! Because we got the power! To knock you off your feet!" I chanted, while doing another quick routine.

The whole cafeteria roared. Finally when everyone had settled down, Hoshiko spoke up. "Welcome to the team. Akira will give you your uniform later." she said, quietly.

"Ok!" I said cheerfully, and then headed back to my table.

"You were amazing, Yumiko!" the group told me, happy that I didn't get beat.

"Thanks, guys. But even though I am a cheerleader now, this is my table." I told them happily. I was always this way.


After school

I walked out of the school's front doors. Students were everywhere, chanting with friends or heading home.

I walked down the steps towards my group of friends.

"Ok well I gotta get home. Add me on msn guys! Ok, talk to ya later! Bye!" I told them, and we all headed our own way.

"Hey! Wait up!" I heard a familiar voice call to me. I smiled and turned around in time to see Ryuu rushing up to me.

"Woah! Steady there!" I laughed as he nearly tripped. I grabbed his arm to hold him up.

He laughed. "Thanks."

"No problem. Ok, well I gotta get going now. Bye." I said, turning around and heading down the street.

"Wait! Let me walk you home." he told me, looking hopefully into my eyes.

"Why me?" I asked him, my heart nearly stopping.

"Because...I like you." he told me, reaching for my hand. Ok that was it, my heart stopped.

"I...I...wow." I stammered not knowing what to say.

He smiled. "Well let's go, ok?"

I nodded and we headed home.

"So, where do you live, Yumiko?" he asked me, finally letting go of my hand. We were out of the school's view so I relaxed a bit.

"You know the Higurashi shrine? Yeah there." I told him.

"Really? I live close to there too!" he exclaimed, happily. I laughed.

"You have any brothers or sisters?" he questioned me.

"Nah. Only child." I replied.

"Oh. Lucky. I have an older sister. But she er, doesn't live with me. Actually, I don't even know what she looks like." he informed me, looking sad.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" I felt awful for him.

He looked at me and smiled. "Nah, it's ok."

We walked the rest of the way talking about ourselves to learn more of the other person. I felt relaxed and happy when I was with him. He made me feel special. Yup, I totally like this guy.

Once we were at the bottom of the long staircase, I stopped. "Ok well, I'll see you tomorrow."

He looked at me. "Yeah. Don't forget about lunch. I'll add you later ok?"

"Ok."

Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around me. "Ryuu..." I stammered, surprised.

"Go out with me." he asked.

"Yeah. Tomorrow, lunch. I got it." I answered, clueless.

"No. I mean, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked again, looking me in the eye.

I blinked. "Oh! oh. I...sure."

"Really?" he questioned, excitedly.

I laughed. "Totally."

He pulled me closer and kissed me on the cheek. "Ok, bye. Talk to ya later."

He let me go and walked off down the street. "Bye!" I called and ran up the stairs, feeling more then happy.

Then I stopped when I saw the well house. It seemed as if it was calling for me. I walked closer to it, my hand out, reaching for the door.

It was calling for me, telling me to open the door. I was mesmerized by it, by the chanting.

I took the handle slowly...and turned the handle...
