Chapter 3
I tighted the red bandana that I had tied around my right wrist as I heard the teacher talk in his room. "Class, today we have a new student. Please introduce yourself." The teacher motioned for me to come in the room. I walked in and turned towards the class.
'Ok, time to be my stupid self.' I smiled widely and flashed a peace sign. "Hi! I'm Blaire and I have cool socks on today!" I said this in English and they looked at me confused, but one person laughed and to me it sounded evil. I chuckled. "Hi, I'm Blaire." I said this time in Japanese. I looked around the class as some laughed and others looked at me like I was crazy. I looked in the back of the room and saw none other than Hiruma Yoichi. "Oh great." I mumbled to myself in English as he smirked at me.
"Well, Blaire. You can take any empty seat." The teacher handed me a book. I smiled and looked back at the class to find an empty seat. 'Shit.' The only ones that were empty were all around the devil. I shoved by bag farther up my shoulder and walked towards Hiruma, glaring at him the whole way. Some people gasped, others screamed. 'Huh, sissys.' I thought as I sat infront of him and turned my back to him. 'Wait, that wasn't really smart. I probably should have sat beside him or somewhere out of his reach, physical of course, he could get anyone to do anything. Except me, for now at least. 'Just hope that he doesn't find out about my past.'
Hiruma was seating in the corner next to a window that went from the back of the room to the front. My seat was infront of him, so I could look out the window. So when the teacher started his lesson, I snuck one headphone in hiding it in my blue dyed hair, and started to stare out the window. I put my elbows on the desktop, put my chin in one hand and played with my bandana with the other. What? My dad was a college professor, he taught my brothers and I almost everything. You may think that is torcher, but we had a lot of fun. Somehow my dad made learning school stuff fun. And plus my brothers... well lets just say no matter what happened or happening, they could make you laugh so hard milk would come out your nose! Trust me, I would know!
Surprisingly, Hiruma didn't bother me like I thought he would. I snuck a peek behind me to see him on his laptop. 'Shit, he must be trying to find stuff on me. Oh, Good Lord in Heaven please don't let him find anything.' I silently prayed. Minutes passed by and I was tapping my cheek while listening for a sign that Hiruma found something. Class was almost over when I heard Hiruma cussing angerly(is that even a word?). 'I'll take that as he couldn't find anything. Oh, thank You, Good Lord!' I sighed in relief. Seconds later the bell rang and I slowly got out of my seat and slung my bag over my shoulder, all the while I could feel Hirumas glare.
I walked out of the class and made my way to the roof top, once there I sat where I could see the football field and ate my lunch. Memories came back to me as I looked out at the green grassy field.
*start flashback*
"Fox! Throw it here! I'm open!" Carson yelled jumping up and down. I was about to throw it when Sam wrapped his arms around my middle, picked me up and twirled in a circle.
"1st Down! No yard gain!" Sam yelled, setting my feet back on the ground.
"That's not fair! You tripped me!" Matt yelled, goodheartedly at his older brother. His was on his butt. Sam had slipped his foot behind Matts leg, then pulled his leg back and pushed with his hands, resulting in Matt falling flat on his ass. We were all laughing.
"Hey! We have no rules in this game!" Sam told Matt crossing his long, tan and muscular arms across his chest.
"No rules huh?" I whispered to myself, but of course Carson heard me. It was a thing we had, we could hear each others thoughts most of time and could know what the other said, no matter how low or far away it was said. Some people would hate that, but Car and I loved it. We even finished each others sentences sometimes, which annoyed Chris so much. And really that was the only reason we did it, was to annoy people.
We all got set up, Matt and Sam were at the line facing each other, Carson was beside Matt, Chris was facing Carson, I was behind Matt with the ball. Yes, I know that's not right but it's how we played. "Look, Matt, you have to block him no matter what, kay?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll take him out alright!" Matt declared, playfully glaring at Sam.
"Sure you will. Fox, just be ready to run from me this time. Cause I'm gonna tackle you to the ground this time." He also playfully glared at Matt and me. I laughed.
"Here we go. Down. Set. Hut Hut!" I yelled, dropped stepped to my left, Car took off running towards the endzone and looking back while Chris chased him. Carson couldn't get away from his older brother no matter what he did. I looked back at Matt only to see him on his butt again and Sam running towards me, grinning like a kid on christmas. "Really Matt? Ahh!" I yelled as I dodged around Sam and ran from him, screaming/laughing happily. "No! Sam! Please!"
"I told you I was gonna tackle you!" Sam laughed as he got closer to me.
"No! Carson! Help me!" I looked for my twin and saw him being tackle by Chris. "Chris! That's not fair, he doesn't even have the ball!"
"Oh, oops." Chris said with a smile that said 'Hah, I meant to do that.'
I looked back at Sam and saw him reach for me. I smirked, skidded to a stop, spun to my right, out of Sams grasp, then headed for the endzone. I made it. "Shyeah man!" I yelled as I spiked the ball on the ground. I looked up, only to be tackled by Carson and Matt. After we layed there, Sam and Chris fell on us too. Then we all just layed there laughing our asses off, just like we always did.
*end flashback*
I laughed to myself. "Ah, the good 'ol days." I finished my lunch just as the bell rang as a signal that lunch had ended. I threw my leftovers in a trash can and headed back to the classroom. 'Great, time for boring class and jackass Hiruma. Maybe he will leave me alone again. Naw, I doubt it, but I can still be hopefull. Right? Oh, I give up.' By now I was in my seat, with Hiruma behind me typing away on his laptop and the teacher well teaching. 'Hmmm... Maybe I should think of some more pranks for those basterds.' I pulled my black and red notebook that I wrote all my pranks and their results in. I opened it to the first page and started to go over old pranks and how I could improve them. Or fix something that was wrong.
And that is how I spent my class this time. Gadly, Hiruma didn't bother me and I didn't bother him. The teacher never called on me and I was proud of my improvement on my notebook. The bell rang and everyone left. I decided to go to the roof again. 'It's not like there is someone at home to worry about me.' I thought sadly. As I walked by a door I heard Sena ask the basketball club if they wanted to join, they declined and Sena didn't push the matter he just left. I saw Kurita coming to the same room and I hid in the shadows to watch. He asked the same thing, they looked mad and yelled no. I laughed a little, but still wasn't noticed. Kurita left and then came Hiruma Yoichi. 'Oh, this well be interesting.'
He kicked the door open. "You're going to play in the football game tomorrow!"
They got pissed. "We already said no, damnit!"
Hiruma pulled his black book out. "I bet you guys are first years huh?" He flipped through it until he came to a certain page. "First year, class 2's Satake-kun and class 5's Yamaoka-kun. Satake-kun is the one who stole the swim teams underwear? And Yamaoka-kun kisses Kage Ai's poster ever morning!" They looked shocked. "How- how do you know that?"
'He's the devil, what more is there to say? And eww! Stealing girls underwear and kissing a poster? I mean I kiss my family photo, but they were killed!' I made a sound of disgust, but got quite again when I saw Hirumas ear twitch. 'Shit! Stupid Blaire!'
"Now I think I'll go tell everyone this!" Hiruma took off running, but was stopped by the two boys who were now beging him to let them play.
"See you two at the game tomorrow!" Hiruma then walked off to blackmail more people. I decided to let him know that I want to play. If you're wondering, I used to play back in America, but when my family moved here I didn't have time and then they were killed and it just reminded me of my brothers. But now I am able to control my feelings better and they knew I loved the game and would want me to continue playing.
"That was... interesting." I said trying to find a good word. Hiruma stopped, turned around and looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"I knew someone else was there." He stated more to himself than to me. "What the hell do you want damn blue?"
'''Damn blue'? That the best ya can think of? I'm shocked." I teased him and smiled. My eyes had a playfully hint to them.
His eye twitched. "Answer my question." He demanded.
"Well don't get your underwear in a wad." I laughed and purposely didn't answer his question. 'Man, it's easy and so much fun to annoy this guy! And I only met him today!' I crossed my arms across my chest.
"Che. Whatever." He walked off again, but stopped again at the next thing I said.
"I can play." I said and smirked when he looked at me curiously. He didn't say anything. "You don't think I can." It wasn't a question.
"No girl can play football." He stated, but still looked at me.
"Well, that's what all men think, and they drill that into the girls heads, making them think they can't. But the truth is some girls are better at it than guys. Especially when the guy doesn't want to play and the girls does. She puts more heart into it." I said this and then I walked off. "See you tomorrow and you might want to pick a new nickname for me, Hiruma-kun." I teased and threw a wave over my shoulder. I was ready to run from his bullets, but they never came. I turned a corner and walked away towards the doors and my home. 'Wait, no. I have to get some food to cook this week. Damn I hate living alone.'
Hiruma's POV
"That was... interesting." I turned around at the sound of a girls voice. When I saw who it was, I narrowed my grey eyes at her.
"I knew someone else was there." I said mostly to myself. "What the hell do you want, damn blue?" I gave her one of my famous nicknames. I mean her hair is blue. Not saying it looks bad she actually pulled it off, but its... different... odd... unusal for a girl.
"'Damn blue'? Is that the best you can think of? I'm shocked." She smiled and a playfull glint came to her fierce green eyes, but I could also see sadness and pain trying to hide. Like she was suffering on the inside from something big, but not showing it. Something that really hurts. 'Something that I need to find out.'
I felt my eye twitch, it was something that it did when I was getting mad. "Answer my question."
"Well don't get your underwear in a wad." She laughed, but still didn't answer my damn question. She crossed her small arms across her chest. I noticed the red bandana tied around her wrist. 'Huh, that's weird. Most girls stay away from bandanas. This girl is really different.'
"Che. Whatever." I turned and started to walk away from her.
"I can play." I stopped and looked at her curiously. I didn't reply. 'Did she just say she can play football?' "You don't think I can." She stated.
I looked at her small framed body. 'She has a little muscle, but one tackle and she would break in two. There is no way in hell she can play.' "No girl can play football." Even though I said that, I still stared at her thinking.
"Well, that's what all men think, and they drill that into girls heads, making them think they can't. But the truth is some girls are better at it than guys. Especially when the guy doesn't want to play and the girls does. She puts more heart into it." She turned and walked off throwing a wave over her shoulder. Then she decided to tease me some more. "See ya tomorrow and you might want to pick a new nickname for me, Hiruma-kun." I almost shot at her, but for some reason I didn't. Something about how she reacted the first time I pointed a gun at her. 'Why didn't I pull my guns on her?' I, for once, don't know the answer. 'Damn, I really need to get stuff on that girl. Can she really play? And why did she tell me to pick a new nickname for her? Is she going to dye it? Man, this girl is... well different. Sure, that fucking honors girl stands up to me, but not like that girl. Fucking honors girl just yells at me to stop shooting and blackmailing people, but that other girl... she just talks to me and isn't scared of me. Ugh! This girl is really getting to me. Well, if she does show up I might just put her in. maybe that'll knock some sense into her.' Even though he thought that, he knew he would try not to put Blaire in.
Blaire's POV
'Huh, I should be making my way to the game now.' I walked back into my bathroom to check my hair one more time. 'Hehe. Now Hiruma can't call me damn blue.' Yes, I dyed my hair again. What can I say? I love dying my hair! Now it was a lavender with blue streaks. I pulled it up with some clips, but some of it fell around my face. I giggled again. "I like this style. I might keep it longer or use it again in a few weeks. Hehe."
I walked out my door, locked it and was walking down the street toward where the team was supposed to be. 'Bro's I'm playing again. It maybe with the devil himself, but I'm playing.' All of my brothers had wanted to be famous football players and even though I know they wouldn't want me to, I did anyway. 'Livin' a life for all of us, bro. hehe.' I had on some little black tennis shoes, black short shorts on, like dasiy dukes, and a grey t-shirt that almost covered the shorts so it looked like I wasn't wearing any shorts. Right when I walked out of my house I started getting odd looks and some guys whistled, but I ignored them, as usual. 'I can't wait until Hiruma sees my hair. It's gonna be so funny!'
Finally I came to the spot where the 'team' was. 'Hmm... I'll go find Hiruma or Kurita.' I walked around and got many comments from the guys. I didn't see either of them, but I did see Sena who was wearing his school uniform. I smirked and put my mouth next to his ear. "Hey, Sena!" He jumped, yelped and turned to look at me, scared and shocked.
"Oh, hi Blaire-chan. You dyed your hair." He said looking at it. I had caught him yesterday, so yeah he knows me personally now.
"Shyeah man. You like it?" I smiled when he nodded.
"Oh? So, you all have gathered." Hiruma said as he walked up. He wore black pants and a plain black t-shirt. It suited him very well. 'Ok, I have to admit. With that laidback expression and his hands in his pockets. He's pretty cute... Ok fine he looks hot. Wow, did I really just think that?' I shrugged mentaly.
"You're the last one to get here." One of the basketball players said. Then they all said, "So where are all the cute cheerleaders?"
"Oh, they'll come later."
Sena sweatdropped and I asked, "He lied, didn't he?"
"Probably." I laughed at his sad tone. "Wait, where's Kurita-san?" Sena looked around for Kurita. I shrugged.
"Penalty game." Hiruma said simply and walked over to Sena.
"Well, hello to you too, Hiruma." I pouted and crossed my tan arms, but a smile played at my lips when his grey eyes widen a little at my hair. 'Or was it cause I'm actually here? Oh wait, it could be what I'm wearing.' I shrugged mentaly. Finally I just let the smile out. "Like my hair? Now it's blue and lavender!" I flashed him a peace sign. And I noticed that he wanted to smile, cause his lips twitched upward just a little. But he stopped it. 'Damn you. Now I can't tease you!'
"Wow, that's fucking great." He said boredly, but his eyes said he wanted to laugh.
"I know, right?" People stared at me oddly, but of course I was used to the stares.
"A-anyway, what was the penalty game?" Sena asked glancing at me then back at Hiruma.
"I won't do something too cruel befre a game. He's just the baggage carrier." Hiruma started talking with Ishimaru when Kurita came up to us pulling loads of stuff.
Everyone's eyes widen, I just raised an eyebrow. "It's pretty heavy." Kurita said.
"Oh, you're here fuckin' fatso. Now then, lets go!" Hiruma said and started walking off. I walked beside him and Sena walked beside me. The group followed and Kurita brought up the end. I strechted, looking at the clear blue sky above, and put my hands behind my head as we walked. 'Brothers, here I go. I'm starting our new life. I'm not gonna wallow in sadness. I'm living our lives. Love ya'll.'
Hiruma's POV
"Penalty game." I said and walked over to Sena, noticing the lavender and blue haired girl but not knowing who it was. Well, until the girl talked, then I knew exactly who it was.
"Well, hello to you too, Hiruma." Blaire Kitsune, whom I have found little info on, pouted and crossed her arms, but I could tell that she wanted to smile. My eyes widen as I looked at her. Her grey shirt was kinda long and since her short black shorts were really short it looked like she was only wearing the shirt. The outfit stood out, showing off her small tan legs and her hair also stood out. But they both really suited her. 'She looks kinda cute. WOAH! Did I just think that?' I mentaly shook my head. "Like my hair? Now it's blue and lavender!" She flashed a peace sign and smiled brightly at me. It made me almost smile, but I stopped it before it turned into one.
"Wow, that's fucking great." I said boredly.
"I know right?" Most of the guys stared at her oddly, and also undressing her in their minds. The thought of that made me mad, why I don't know. 'Fuck! What the hell has this girl done to me?'
"A-anyway, what was the penalty game?" The shrimp asked glancing at Blaire then back at me.
"I won't do something too cruel befre a game. He's just the baggage carrier." I started. The track guy that the shrimp got to come asked me if he needed anything and I said no, we have everything. Then the fatass walked up pulling the baggage.
Everyone's eyes widen, while Blaire just raised an eyebrow. "It's pretty heavy." Kurita said.
"Oh, you're here fuckin' fatso. Now then, lets go!" I said and started walking off. Blaire walked beside me, the shrimp beside her and the others followed. Blaire stretched, looked up at the sky, and then put her hands behind her head. She looked happy, but that sadness and pain seemed to never leave her fierce green eyes. 'No one notices that, but I do. Well I am more observant than most people and even I have to look deep in her eyes to see that sadness and pain.'
