Thank you Guest for giving me recommendations. I am always open to constructive criticism. So... I guess I'm trying to make a prologue... Please critique some more... I could really use the pointers. Thank you!
This chapter is basically introducing some of the OCs... There will be more introduced in the next chapter and I'm still accepting!
Aika's POV
E-class. That's where I was going next year. This was going to be hell. Damn. What am I going to tell my parents? Not that my dad will really care but... Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Aika Akabane, yes... My father is Karma Akabane... Unfortunately... Sometimes I swear I really wish I could just use my mothers last name. "Nakamura" doesn't make every teacher who reads it scowl and look at me all funny. But no, I am stuck with Akabane. You know what that means... Bad reputation from the get go. For starters, school was already boring and pointless to begin with. I thought that Kunugigoaka would be different because my parents always tell me about how great it was there but nope. It was just another stupid teacher trying to teach me stuff I already knew.
To add to the fun (note the sarcasm) the chairman really pisses me off. He and my dad are friends but at school, I always feel like he is watching Takashi and honestly it's annoying. Oh, yeah I haven't introduced Takashi yet. Well he is my friend (whome I used to have a crush on, keyword: used to) he is also... Well, the chairman's son. Yup, he is another Asano. But Takashi isn't like his father or grandfather. He doesn't want to be the oh so mighty ruler of the school. Sure, he is student council president and the best of the best in A-class but he's also human, and he shows that... At least to me he does... But after I dropped to E-class he all but ignored me... I don't blame him, infact I told him to, I know his father would be upset if he were friends with a delinquent like me. But it still hurts to lose a friend.
Luckily, I will have Asami there. She is the daughter of Nagisa Shiota and Akari Yukimura... And my best friend... And... The only reason I actually show up to class. But she was never really good at studies... Which is why she dropped to E-class. Eh... I got there by skipping to often... I think... Anyhow... Enough thinking about that. I gotta find a good way to break the news to my parents... Let's see... Dad doesn't come home until 7 and Mom comes back at... Around the same time... So that give me exactly one hour to devise a plan! I can do this!
~ 30 min later ~
"WHATEVER! WHO CARES WHAT MY PARENTS THINK! I'LL JUST TELL THEM AT DINNER AND BE DONE WITH IT." I yell at Kit-Kat (my cat) who runs out of my room. She was never fond of me anyways. Animals generally aren't... I went the the zoo one time -
"Aika! We're home!" I heard my dad call.
Wait! What? They're not supposed to be back for another 24 min! Oh god. The world just wants me to die.
"Aika! We brought dinner! Get down here!" My mom yells playfully from downstairs.
"Ok! Coming!" I am so going to die.
~ At dinner ~
"Hey... Um... Mom, Dad... I have something important to tell you guys-"
"Did my little Aika get a boyfriend?" My dad teased.
"WHAT? NO! WHY ON EARTH WOULD U THINK THAT?!" I yell back at him from across the table.
"Calm down Aika, you know your dad is just trying to get you mad." My mom stated calmly. Ugh. They both drive me crazy!
"Tch. Whatever. I dropped to E-class... and I'm not hungry. I'm going to Asami's tonight. See you guys in another week." I say bitterly.
"Aika. Sit. Now." My dad said sternly. Normally I would ignore him but somthing told me that I shouldn't this time. I took my seat and looked him in the eyes. Mentally telling him "I don't care what u have to say to me."
"Aika, sweety, tell your farther and I how this happened." My mom said kindly. Normally she is funny and blunt about things but this time she was being kind and gentle... It didn't suit her. But there's no use lying to them anyways.
"I dropped to E-class because I skipped class for an entire month." I proudly stated.
"Why did you skip? And what were you doing with all that time?" My dad inquired.
"I skipped because school is a waste of my time and there us no reason for me to attend class if Asami isn't there... I was spying on E-class in my spare time... And I think its really... Interesting..."
Both my parents were silent and to my surprise they didn't seem all that mad at me.
"Ok then. If your going to E-class I suppose you should prep yourself for tomorrow. You can go to Asami's house tonight. But starting tomorrow no more skipping classes Ok?" My mom said.
"Ok" was my only reply before I took off to Asami's house.
~ The Shiota Residence ~
"Hey Asami sorry for the short notice. I hope your parents don't mind me crashing here tonight."
"No problem. That's what friends are for right?"
"Ha... Well, I still feel bad." I reply.
"Well, I'll shower first. Here's your towel" she hands me my towel and walks out the bedroom door.
So incase you didn't know, Asami is the daughter of Nagisa Shiota and Akari Yukimura. She has blue hair like her father but she has her mother's eyes, both her parents are petit so I'll let you figure her size... Yeah just for those who don't catch on, she is a runt. But just so we are clear on one thing Asami is an honestly GOOD person, as in NOT my 'partner in crime' or anything like that. She... Well she has always been a really polite, nice person. She crys really easily and is very shy... But in really bad situaltions, she is the best at pretending everything is ok... I don't know if I should consider her a liar or just someone who cares a great deal for others... But no matter how you put it, she is my opposite, someone totally unlike me and someone I could never be... It's funny, I think she is weak but I know I am no stronger, I am better than her in almost everything yet I envy her. To be totally honest, I'm not even sure why I befriended her... But she is defiantly someone I care about, she is my best friend after all.
"Aika. Aika? Aika!" Asami pulls on a strand of my red hair (yes I have my dad's hair, infact I am the spitting image of him, same eyes same skin etc. My mom teases me about it all the time.) "Its your turn."
"Oh, Ok."
~ Later ~
We are now sitting in her room in our pajamas. My mind wanders off to what E-class is going to be like. I know the Chiba twins are going to be there as well as Isogai and Kataoka's son...
"Aika!" Asami tugs on my hair again.
"Huh? Sorry Asami, I was spacing out again. What were you saying?" Asami looks surprised then continues talking.
"You know, your in E-class because Riku-kun noticed you were spying on us right?" Asami informs me.
"Wait! What?! You mean Yagami? Riku Yagami?!" I was impressed, happy and furious all at the same time. Impressed because I'm very good at sneaking around and he noticed me. Happy because I missed Asami and now I am in the same class as her. And furious because, hell, I'M IN E-CLASS BECAUSE OF THIS GUY!
I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Asami's timid voice. "Aika? Can I tell you something?" She looks at me in that lost kitten way and I immediately know what she is going to tell me.
"If you're going to tell me that you have had a crush on Riku since second year, don't bother, I already know." I reply harshly. I smile to myself as she turns tomato red and starts stuttering.
"Wha-what are you t-talking about? I d-don't l-like R-Riku in-"
"That very romantic way?" I taunt.
"Please don't tell anyone." She says in a mousy voice. I sigh.
"Fine. But only if you introduce me to this Riku guy. I wanna know what has made my best friend fall head over heals for him." I laugh to see her blush again at my statement. She throws a pillow at me (which I easily catch)
"Let's just go to bed." She states.
"At 11? That's awfully early." Asami gives me a concerned look then I realize that normal people need more than 3 hours of sleep per night. "Ah... Never mind, I'll just play on the computer until I'm tired. You go to sleep"
I play on the computer until about 1AM and decide I should probably go to bed a littleearlier than usual. After all, tomorrow was going to be hectic.
