It's been one week, one full week since the start of Emi's high school life.

As expected, Emi wasn't very happy with it at all. Her fellow classmates were all rich and snobby, something that Emi wasn't very fond of. Since she grew up going to middle class schools, this rich and high society school was a huge change for her. She never knew people could be grouped by how much there parents salary was. It was quite sad, actually.

The only thing that seemed to make sense, or rather the people to be more specific, were those who were in the club that Emi had joined. They all seemed to be kind people, and slightly off there rockers at time, but fun none the less.

In all honesty, the members of the SLS club were like Emi's saviors in this horrible school. Which is why, she often volunteers as much as she could to help them out. Even if it meant she was the only one in the school until late, or so she thought.

Emi walked down the quiet halls, a few papers in her right hand, a roll of tape in the other one. She hummed to herself, to keep her from feeling frightened at the quietness. Stopping every now and then to tape one of the posters to a wall of the school. Then she'd move a hand over it lightly, to make sure the tape didn't make it look lumpy.

The SLS club members were doing a canned food drive, hoping to be able to donate the cans to a homeless shelter that was in need of it. In all honesty, Emi really didn't think that any of the students would help out the cause, they all seemed to stuck up to care about anyone but themselves, at least that's what Emi thought.

Taking a few steps back, Emi smiled in satisfaction as she started to walk down the hall again. She only had a few more posters to put up before she could go home.

Emi moved her papers to be between her arm and her side as she grabbed her phone to see what time it was. "Wow, I'm surprised that mom hasn't text-ed me, yet." She mumbled to herself as she looked up. Then, let out a small squeak as she saw one of the boys from the basketball club. Her body instantly stiffened at the surprise at seeing him, she hadn't heard anyone else in the hallway.

Unfortunately, because of her body stiffening, the papers that Emi had between her arm and side slipped out of her grasp. The last few papers that Emi had, fell to the ground in a disarray.

"I uh, didn't know anyone else was in the school still." She said as she tried to come out of her state of shock. Emi slowly leaned down, ignoring the boy's hidden gaze as she started to pick up the papers. "You know Pocky-chan." The boy started, then the sound of a bubble popping sounded. "I always seem to see you on your knees. Are you hinting at something? You naughty girl." He snickered as he watched the first year pick up the papers, then freeze.

Emi could feel her face pale a little bit as she listened to the purple haired boy's words. It didn't really take a genius to get that he was being a sick pervert! Slowly, Emi's cheeks started to turn pink, as his words sunk in. She slowly sat up on her knees after she grabbed the papers and glared up at the boy. "That's really un-called for." Emi scolded the boy as she stood up.

"An who are you calling Pocky-chan?"

The boy only seemed to grin at Emi's words, then blew another bubble. "I'm calling you Pocky-chan, who else's here?" He asked around his gum, then popped it. Emi frowned and shivered slightly as the sticky material went over the bottom half of his face. "Besides." He started to pull the gum off of his face. "It was just accusation, you always seem to be on your knees or on your back when I see ya."

Emi felt like she wanted to throw up when she saw the boy in front of her putting the gum back into his mouth. "I feel like that's more of bad luck on my part." Emi mumbled quietly, her lips moving into a frown and her eyes giving him an annoyed look.

The boy in front of her shrugged his shoulders, an amused smirk on his lips as he looked at her.

Neither of then said anything else to the other, making the air around them fill with awkward silence. Emi opened her mouth to say she had to go, but stopped as another voice entered the area. "Hara, what are you doing? Break's over." Shifting a little to see around 'Hara', Emi's cheeks flushed slightly. The boy who was staring at her at the beach and helped her the first day, was walking towards them.

"Sorry Hanamiya." Hara said, looking over his shoulder and then took a step to the side to reveal Emi. "I was just having an interesting conversation with Pocky-chan." He told the dark green eyed boy.

Hanamiya looked at Hara, not really interested and then looked at Emi as he stopped next to his teammate. Emi looked between the two taller boys nervously, she's never been alone with guys before, so this was a little nerve racking. "Uh yeah, but uh, I guess you have to go. Hara-san, so I guess I'll excuse myself." She said nervously and slowly moved to turn away from the two boys.

Emi's back was towards the two basketball boys and started to walk down the hall, but stopped at the sound of Hanamiya's voice. "Wait a minute." He told her in his normal cool voice, causing the girl to freeze mid step.

"Y-yes?" She asked as she slowly turned around. Her eyes widening as she realized that Hara wasn't there anymore. 'Hanamiya must of told him to leave. ' She thought to herself, then her eyes widened slightly. 'Oh no, that means were alone together, this can't be good.' Emi thought to herself as she looked up at Hanamiya. "W-what is it?" Her cheeks retaining it's slight pink color.

"Your the girl that's infatuated with me, right?" He asked as he calmly walked over to Emi.

Gulping slightly, Emi took a step back and kept taking them since he was fallowing her movements. "I-I don't know what you mean." She said as she looked away from him, her cheeks giving her away.

Hanamiya just smirked at Emi and put his hands on the wall she had pushed her back against, trapping her. "Your a horrible liar." He told her as he leaned his head down towards her face, causing Emi to slightly shiver as she felt his hot breath on her ear.

Closing her eyes, Emi gulped and slowly looked at Hanamiya. "I-I'm not lieing. I-I've just never really talked to many guys before." Half lieing, she's lieing but it's true that she hasn't really ever talked to a guy before. "I can tell your lieing, your voice is shaking, it doesn't take a genius like me to notice."

Emi winced slightly, she knew she was a horrible liar. "Okay, so I was lieing. So what?" She asked quietly, her bright blue eyes slowly looking up into his odd green ones. Then she blushed a slightly deeper red, did she just admit she liked him to his face as well?

The black haired boy smirked slightly, amused at how easily he had won. Then he quickly wiped it from his face. He wasn't going to play with her like he usually would of, he was in the middle of basketball practice after all. "You need to stop." He told her flatly, needing to get it over with quickly. "I don't need a little brat fawning over me, it's stupid and annoying."

Emi felt like her heart was just ripped out of her chest and ran over by a car. Hanamiya not only openly rejected her liking him, even if she didn't plan on acting on it, but he also called her stupid and annoying. "That's a little harsh, don't you think?" She said in a small quiet voice, her eyes watering slightly, but she did her best to hold in the tears.

Hanamiya snorted at what Emi said and simply shrugged his shoulders as he leaned away from her face. "Say what you want. I don't really give a crap. Just leave me the fuck alone." He told her, it was best to get her off his back before anything happened.

The basketball captain stood up straight then turned before he headed back towards where he had come from, leaving Emi by the wall. A few tears had slowly slipped from her eyes as she lowered her head. Maybe he wasn't as nice as she had originally thought he would be, but it still didn't give him the right to be so horrible to her. She hadn't even talked to him, just looked at him a few times.

"Y-Your so mean Hanamiya!" Emi said loudly, a few more tears streamed down her face.

"Whatever."

Emi took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled it as she tried to calm herself. Crying like a elementary student wouldn't help anything. Raising her arm, Emi wiped her eyes and then watched as Hanamiya walked away. Her bright blue eyes watching him as he moved, he seemed like a nice guy at first. So why did he have to turn into such a horrible jerk-face.

"Are you hiding something?" Emi wondered out loud as she slowly got her breathing under control. Her now slightly red eyes looked down at the ground as her hands clenched into fists. "I bet you are." She mumbled to herself as she looked up one last time and watched him turn a corner before she turned to walk the other way.


I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. :) It was kinda hard to write at first, I couldn't decide on how Emi should meet Hara. It was either he hit her in the head with a basketball, a basketball went rolling by or what happened in the chapter. :P So, yeah...

Please leave a comment telling me what you think! :D

SLS stands for Students Leading Students. It's basically a club where students gather to talk about positive things and to stay away from bad things like drugs, helps give support to people who need it and they help the community. (Sucky description...)

Next chapter, shall be next Sunday night. :) Around the same time. (Hopefully)

Happy Easter! (Didn't know it was Easter Sunday til my mom told me.)
