I really hope to be able to write this story as good as you guys are expecting. J
Anyway here is Chapter 2! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King and its characters! :]
"You'll be paired with Yoh Asakura." Anna frowned at the thought. She was utterly devastated to be paired with the number one slacker in class. HE's very well known for rarely coming to school, and if he comes to school, he's always late. Anna hated his lifestyle simply because they're exact opposites. She knew they would never get long.
"Anna, you have a phone call!" her mom called from downstairs.
Well that wasn't her biological mom. It was her adoptive mom. Anna lived her childhood in an orphanage until her present mom & dad came along and adopted her.
"I'm coming!"
Anna hurriedly ran downstairs to take the call. She already had an idea of who it was.
"Anna! I missed you!" the girl from the other line exclaimed.
"Keep it down Jeanne." Anna sighed. "I don't want to go deaf."
"Aw…Aren't you supposed to say that you missed me too?" Jeanne chuckled.
Of course Anna missed her, they're best friends. And Jeanne was away for a week, because of her father's wedding, but Anna wouldn't admit that. It's not her style.
"Why are you calling again?"
"Anna is such a meanie…" She could almost see Jeanne pouting on the other line.
"So you're going to school tomorrow, right?"
"No." Jeanne sighed. "I have a busy schedule this month. It's my mom's turn to get married."
"What?!"
"You remind me of my reaction when first found out about this." Jeanne laughed.
"I mean…What's going to happen to you now?" Anna asked, worriedly.
"I'll tell you about it when I come back."
"Oh." I guess I'll be eating alone for some time now.
"Don't be sad Anna! I'll be back before you now it. You know I can't be away from you for so long. I'll miss you so much and die." Jeanne tried to comfort her best friend.
Anna could fight a laugh. "Don't you dare die on me?"
"Yes ma'am!" Jeanne chuckled. "I need to go now."
"Okay."
"I'll see you soon"
"Bye."
"Bye."
Anna forgot to ask Jeanne about what she'll tell the school or if she even needs to say anything, but knowing her, she must've informed the school already.
Anna was walking to school, the next day. She was passing by the park and she spotted a familiar brown haired boy, yawning on a bench. Isn't that, Asakura?
"Hey!" She called out to him. He didn't seem to hear her, so she walked closer and called to him again.
"Woah!" Yoh flinched. "It's you!"
"Yeah…It's me." Anna rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"I-m…s-i-t-t-i-n-g…o-n…a…b-e-n-c-h." He replied as if talking to a retard.
"Are you mocking me?" Anna glared at him.
Yoh giggled like a kid. "No. I was stating the obvious. Anyway, shouldn't you be in school?"
Anna ignored his first answer. "I should say the same for you."
"Yeah. But then again I'm not an honor student who needs to be in school early."
Anna frowned at him. "For your information honor students aren't the only one's obligated to go to school early."
"You know…If you don't get going you'll be late."
"It's still twenty minutes before time." She flashed her watch, for him to see.
Yoh examined her watch and smirked. "You're watch maybe pretty, but it's broken. Its fifteen minutes late."
Anna's eyes went wide. "What are you talking about? My watch isn't-" she looked at the time in her cell phone, and her wrist watch was indeed fifteen minutes late.
"Told you so…" Yoh hummed.
Anna didn't bother to say goodbye and broke into a dash. She couldn't possibly be late. Her reputation is at stake.
"Hmm…I guess going to school will be fun for me from now on." Yoh smiled in amusement.
Anna made it in time and she wasn't marked late.
"Anna! What happened?" Mr. Tanaka asked. "You almost got marked late this has nev-"
Before he could even finish interrogating Anna the door suddenly opened and Yoh walked into the room.
"Woah! I'm not late." Yoh said, laughing.
The teacher got distracted and immediately interrogated Yoh. Anna just got saved by him. He hurriedly walked to her seat and sat down. She looked up and caught Yoh staring at her as their teacher scold him. When he realized that Anna caught him staring at her, he just winked. Maybe he's not all that bad.
"He's so late!" Anna muttered. She' been sitting in the library for twenty minutes now, waiting for Yoh to show up and help her with their project, but unfortunately he's nowhere to be seen.
Anna looked at the time; the library was closing in ten minutes. She figured Yoh ditched her so she gathered her things and raced to leave. Then Wham! She ran smack to someone coming from the other way. The next thing she knew, she was sitting down and her books are scattered all over the floor. Frantically she began to pick up her books.
He wasn't even thinking about whom she ran into, when voice said to her, "Wow. You can really knock a guy over when you're moving." Anna looked right up into Yoh's brown eyes and immediately scowled.
"You!" she sneered.
"Here," he said smiling and handed her a stack of books, "Sorry I'm late. I fell asleep."
Anna couldn't believe her ears. He almost ditched her, because he fell asleep?!
"You fell asleep?! That's it?!" she exclaimed. "You're unbelievable!"
Anna dashed out of the library without looking back. Yoh called out to her desperately, but she refused to even look back to him. Anna stopped when she almost ran over Manta.
"Anna!" Manta smiled at her. "How's the project going?"
She immediately scowled at the question and was about to say something nasty, but Manta continued talking.
"Yoh really wanted to be useful so he went to the library earlier than your assigned time to meet, so he can look for reference books, but he can fall asleep easily, so you should check on him behind the shelves."
Anna was taken aback. He was in the library all this time?
Yoh finally caught up to her. "Anna." He said, panting.
Anna still refused to look at him, but she didn't leave and waited for him to talk.
"I found these earlier." He held up some books. "They're about rabbits. You know I was waiting for you at the library, but I-"
"Save it. I'll see you tomorrow." She said and left Manta and Yoh standing there.
Anna had just finished doing her home works and feeding rabbit. She was one resting on her bed thinking of her project, Yoh. I guess I was wrong to judge him. He did shop up and in fact he was earlier than me. I guess I should give him a chance. And with that sleep hit her and took her to la la land.
