Classroom
Aichi's POV
It's going to be my first day in a new grade, again. I wore my new school attire and I went to school, Hitsue High school.
There are two sections in the school which are the middle school division, which I was previously in and the high school division which I'm going to right now. How did I end up like this again?
Flashback
"Okay! Everybody! This is the annually scholarship to Hitsue high school! One of the best students shall get to skip the grade and go right to the junior high school division!" Mr. Mark, our homeroom teacher said with a dramatic voice.
Everybody were whispering saying, " I'm sure its Aichi again, the biggest nerd again, he would always have to read and read, it's nothing special at all." One of the gossip girls said. Which made me kind of angry saying to myself, " at least I'm better than you in academics, sooner or later you would have to work as a whore."
"I think it may be Aichi, he's the only one who always gets 100 percent." Izaki said.
"I think it's gonna be Aichi again, it's pretty obvious, you know I heard from teachers he had always skipped a grade every year! Now, he's Thirteen years old and he's going for high school!" Morikawa said.
"Ok, ok settle down! You don't need to be so stressed out of these kind of thing!" Mr. Mark said with a sing song voice.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Drum roll please! The person who is getting the scholarship is…." Mr. Mark said with enthusiasm while opening the envelope.
He then said, "It's Aichi Sendou!" Raising his hand up as if he was a champion.
Everybody sighed and I was kind of embarrassed because everybody were looking at me. Then Mr. Mark said, "Now, now Aichi, don't be shy. Please give us a farewell speech for us, come on you would miss your friends right?"
I stammered saying, "Y-yes…."
Mr. Mark then said, "Come on then get out of your seat and give us your fair well speech."
I then stood up with my head down saying, " G-g-good morning e-everyybody…..in these few semester, I have learnt many things from all of you and I-i-i-I would like to thank you all for helping me achieve this scholarship…..I-i-i…..would miss my friends-"
Suddenly I was cut down by one of the gossip girl saying, " Yeah, whatever. Oh yes right. You have no friends! You didn't deserve that scholarship! In fact, I should had took that scholarship, it's the fact that you're in the presence here! Everyone doesn't get the freaking chance to get the scholarship! You freaking son of a b ch!"
Morikawa and Izaki then stood up saying, " Why you little-"
"Eh? Am I wrong? I mean why do you deserve it! Like you didn't even sweat a single drop! While I, did so much that I fainted in the exam!"
"But you didn't!" Mr. Mark said.
She then faked Gasped saying, "Sensei! How could you be on her side! Like look at her, so clumsy, slow reflexes person can possibly beat me! What a low life he is! How could he experienced the pain we all gone through! You pain in the ass!"
She then ran to me and slapped me in the face hard. Blood came out from my cheek, there was two big scratches on my two cheeks.
She then punched me in the stomach and kicked my leg.
I tried to defend but I couldn't, she then slammed me to the ground and put her leg on my head saying, " You're so weak, you should just give up the scholarship!"
In the background, Mr. Mark, Morikawa and Izaki wanted to stop her, but the student stopped him.
That just stabed me straight on the old wound I had. How dare she, say I hadn't gone through any pain. How dare she….. The worst part is that she is hurting my friends…
She then lifted my head by grabbing my hair, she then point her fingers saying, " Haha! You look like a whore! Are you gay huh? Or are you just a sissy!"
Then I said, "Why…why are you all going against me…"
They then said, " What do you expect? It's the last day anyways, we'll make it a "good" memory for you to remember forever we had prepared for this for weeks since we heard about the scholarship. We aren't your friends stupid! What do you expect who would want to be a friend with you!"
"Thus, I think she ( gossip girl) should be the one to go, suffered so many pain, not like you! You didn't even need to try!" One of a girl said.
"Huh! See! Nobody likes you, in fact everybody against you the whole freaking time, so give up the scholarship! I had to paint my nails, go do my shopping and got less money because it was time for the exam, I had no time to spend with my boyfriends, I couldn't get to go the concert-"
I then glare at her, lifted her up and gently pull her by the collar and said menacingly, "Let them go…."
She then said, ' Nev-" That's when I cut her off scream, "Let them go!"I glared at them, they looked at me surprisingly.
I let go the girls collar slowly, went running towards them, I came with speed just to catch them right in time where they were standing.
I then said, " You do not want me to get even menacing than this or you shall receive the consequences."
I took my bundle of pencils( twenty pencils) and using one hand and crushed them with a small amount of energy.
I then smirked saying, " Oops, my hand just slipped. Oh well, I'm very clumsy after all right? You two and all of you don't wanna be like those two pencils right? "
I then told them with a much more menacing look, eyes cold, a smirk so big, that it looks like a gangsters my voice so cold and soft as the creatures of the night, "Le t me say this again. L.E.T M.Y F.R.I.E.N.D.S G.O, T.H.E.Y A.R.E V.E.R.Y I.M.P.O.R.T.A.N.T T.O M.E.."
They then quivered away, dropping me Mr. Mark, Morikawa and Izaki.
I then went to the gossip girl and said, " You may think you have such a pitiful past worthy to be sympathetic, but you don't. You don't need to judge the attitude of others by the outer appearance but you may need to know that there is more that meets the eye."
I gritted my teeth and said, " You said that I had never worked one sweat, that made me angry but you, touching my friends are unacceptable."
I looked at everyone saying, "You all too have no rights! To touch them! You all can go against me, but never my friends Izaki and Morikawa! How would you know I had never suffered, nobody needs to know my bloody childhood!"
I then let her go, saying, "Painting nails, go shopping, boyfriends, concert.. I had never do dose in my childhood or either now and you say you're sympathetic, you should be much more observant of people around you, whom people got treated like trash every single day. What bloody shit you're talking about saying you work so hard."
We were then send to the principal's office including the other students, Me, Mr. Mark , Morikawa and Izaki were excused since we were also the victims of the incident.
I was dismissed because out of anger I putted a stop to the brawl and protected the teacher and my friends which are Morikawa and Izaki, I didn't hurt anyone but warned them and even the "so called" fight me and that girl had.
I didn't even hurt her, I was defending myself.
While Mr. Mark is the teacher of course, while Morikawa and Izaki were the witnesses, so they told absolutely everything about the fight.
While all of the students tried to lye but the principal trusted them and Mr. Mark.
I was carried to the sick bay then to wrap my wounds; it was really deep even though it was a scratch and fist.
There was a lot of blood coming out of the wound that I was as pale as snow, when I got to the sick bay.
The penalty for the gossip girl and the whole class except Morikawa, Izaki and me had to be suspended for a week, since they planned and go against the teacher.\
As Me, Morikawa and Izaki went to the card shop, I said, "Please keep a secret of the scars, I have on my cheeks."
Izaki then said, " Why they should too know about your situation here, right?"
Morikawa then said, " You are my number one student! For the sake of your position now! Let me the Great Katsumi help you!"
I then said, " N-no, I don't want to cause anymore trouble for them anymore and thus…..i just don't like that subject. It just make myself ….."
I stopped, I just couldn't bear to say it, it's just to painful, I had been cutting myself , so many times…... if I say it now, I might just break into pieces.
I then changed the subject saying, " Ano….hey! We're here! Let's go!'
When I opened the door, Misaki, Shin, even Miwa was shocked. They then quickly came to me and checked me out saying furiosly, "What happened to you? You got hurt…Who did this to you!"
I then said, " Nothing I just tripped when I was going down the stairs."
"Oh you poor thing.." Miwa said touching the scars, I blushed and hissed because it was really painful, a few drops of tears came out because of the pain both mentally and physically.
I then said, " Ouch! I—i-i-it hurts…"
Miwa then said, " Sorry…sorry…" He then took a picture of my crying face and said, " I'm so gonna show this to kai to let him know your situation~~ You're alright with that right?"
I then said to him, " Why would you show him that, he probably doesn't care and sooner or later he would know my situation anyways…."
Miwa then said, " Oh my little lady~~I'm afraid you're wrong~~ Too him you're that persons jewel!"
I then said blushing, " I-i-I'm not a girl Miwa kun and thus she would better off if he would go with some other girl which has big chest, good body structure and a kind demeanor. I just got to know him! I'm not interested in having a relationship!"
He then said, " Jeez, don't hurt his heart like that! I mean it's for a better change right, he treats you like the hand of salvation so come on! Give it a try!"
I then said, " K-k-kai-kun is not a gay!"
He then said, " Love has no limits, come on!"-
I then strike back saying, " A-a-actually did you know? Japan hasn't established a law that said it was legal to have a same sex marriage yet, some countries did, such as France, Ukraine, Portugal, Canada, Spain and much more. Do you want Kai to be in Jail or get sued? S-so i-I believe that love has a ,limit toward gender!"
Then he said, " Geez, are you a lawyer or something, how do you know such stuff, which I don't even know!"
I then said, " umm…I-its common knowledge to me.."
He then said, " You don't really know how to enjoy life do you?"
I then said, " Of course I do! I read, I research about stuff I don't know! I play the piano and I love Vanguard! W-why would you say that?"
Then he said, " Those are hobbies of a nerd! Except for vanguard. You know what? Come tomorrow here and we will show you what you should really do!" He then walked out of the exit.
I grabbed him and said, " C-c-can you tell Kai, I'm waiting for him here? I-i-I hope he could come here sometime….and p-please I'm begging you…don't tell him…"
He then said, " Alright, alright~~See you later then!"
Flashback over
So that's about it. Pretty dramatic for a day….It really was a really memorable day, when it was the first time I showed my real face to the students.
I quickly carried my bag and quickly ran to school. It was a new environment, so I woke up really early to search for my class.
As I got to school, I searched for a class called 1-A. Hm…..1-D, 1-C….1-B….Oh is this the place it? 1-A….i looked at my paper and said, " Y-y-yes this is i-it…."
"Here it goes….." my heart had skipped a beat….i hope I'm not going to get bullied…..
This door holds the future, I going in…..Ah why does it look like as if that's the door of life and death? I quickly opened the door.
Students were chatting loudly, when I opened the door, they stood quiet as if I was a ghost.
They then whispered, " Hey isn't that the new kid, that made a whole class got suspended?" " You know I heard from my sister( sister is the Gossip Girl) That it was all her fault but the teacher blamed it on the whole class, because of her money." " For real, then we shouldn't show her much of a respect, you know."
When I was looking for a chair, they kept saying the seats were taken but actually they weren't.
As I was searching for a chair, somebody kicked me and I fell to the ground. I got some bruises on my knee and the wound hurt so badly that I moan.
Everybody snickered at me, I wanted to cry but I hold it since if I cry out here I won't be as strong as blaster blade. Suddenly a boy came up and raised me up from the ground, as I looked up at him. It was Kai kun!
I stammered saying, "K-kai kun! W-why are you in this class?"
He then said, " That should be my line. Why are you here anyways?"
I told him a little depressed, " Um…I-I got t-t-the scholarship again."
" So this isn't your first time?" he asked.
" Well yeah…" I told him recalling the incident.
He looked surprised, "So, Miwa was true, that you were hurt. "
"What happened?" he said with a serious and concerned tone.
I looked down saying, " Um…..n-n-nothing much, I just accidentally slipped when I was going down the stairs." I started fidgeting and looking at floor as if it was the most interesting in the world.
He then touched my cheeks, which made me blush and hissed again, I then said" K-k-kai kun please don't touch it. I-it hurts…"
He then gave a pained and concerned expression saying, " Tell me the truth. I know what you do when you lie, you're fidgeting so much and you're not looking at me straight in the eye." Oh no he's serious.
He then used his hand and gently lifted my face near him, which made so many people gasped, he then say, " Tell me now, I'm worried and I am not going to let go if you don't tell me." My heart skipped a beat it's too close! I tried to pull away but his hand was on my waist!
I then whimpered and whispered to him, " o-o-ok, c-can I tell you later at break time? P-please, it's very personal…"
He then hesitated but nodded. He then led me by the hand saying, " You don't have a place do you? Since nobody is letting you sit with them. Why don't sit with me?" Looking away from me.
I then smiled saying, " R-r-really I can sit with you? Geez, Thanks Kai kun!" Well let's just say everybody gaped. They then glared at them, while they quivered away.
He then said, " You can call me Toshiki if you want to." He said avoiding eye contact with me.
I then said, "Sure! Why not? Toshiki kun!" I didn't really know why do we need to address people by the surname here. Since in my country, we address people not by their surname but their own name. For example, Kai toshiki, so kai which is the surname and first name, the people in my country would just call him Toshiki which is his second name. So it's a pretty normal thing.
As we sat down, a girls came rushing towards him saying, " Hey~~ ohaiyo, Kai kun~~Can we sit next to you? Mou! You shouldn't let a nerd sit next to you!"
I quickly stood up to not interrupt them and it felt so awkward. Suddenly somebody pat me on the back, I looked back and saw Miwa.
I smiled saying, "Good Morning! Miwa kun! I'm not surprised to see you here!"
He then said, " Yeah I know right! So this is what you mean by Kai kun would notice it sooner or later! I heard you had the scholarship and there were really bad rumours about you, you know?"
I then said, " I know, look I'm sorry I lied I'll tell you everything about the cheek incident at break, ok?"
Then he said, " Ok~~ It's alright!"
He asked, " Why aren't you with Kai? Didn't Kai asked to seat with you?" He smirked and looked at me.
I then said, " Hahaha….well you see, the girls pushed me out…."
Then he said, " I know you're lying~~"
I then said, " Fine, you got me, I didn't wanted to interrupted and they were saying really means words towards me…. Thus I felt really uncomfortable because they were glaring at me, some people called me an outcast and I should had never accepted the scholarship…..."
Suddenly, we heard a high pitched voice saying, " Kai kun~~ you shouldn't have gave the seat to that nerd, did you know she blamed the whole class of his and got dismiss, while the whole class got suspended for a week!"
It stroked me hard, Miwa then said, " It's alright, they're always like this. They're just jealous that you got to sit with Kai."
I then asked, " Toshiki kun? Is popular here?"
He then said, " Well, to the girls yeah, he is known to the girls as the hottest boy in school! You know one time, the news club came to survey which boy would they want to date and the reason why. Kai kun was chosen as the number one most girls want to date guy in the magazine, because he has a cool demeanor and he's hot."
We then both shivered in the same time.
"But I don't think, Toshiki k-"
Suddenly we heard Kai screaming at a girl saying, " Don't you dare talk about Aichi like that! You have no rights to talk about him like that! It's none of your freaking business! You had never seen his bloody past and you're talking shit about him!"
I then lowered my head, hearing about it, Toshiki then walked towards me saying, " Why did you walked away just now? Is it because of them talking trash about you?"
I then said, " No! I don't mind them calling me a nerd! Am I not a nerd? It just felt so awkward because I felt like I was interrupting the conversation between you and her! I felt like I should go out for a while since...they were sending glares, as if I was interrupting them or as if I'm an obstacle."
He then glared at them, one of the girls tried to say something but Miwa cut in saying, " You don't need to find excuses I had been observing him for so long and you all were glaring at her. Do you want proof?" He then showed it to Kai and everybody, which made all the girls ran back to their seats glaring at me.
Kai then said, "You don't need to feel awkward because I will be right beside you ok?"
I nodded and class was starting, so we had to go back to our original place.
Ring
We went to the cafeteria and talked about the incident. After explaining the whole story.
Miwa then said, " Wow, the girl really was an Alpha B! ch."
Toshiki then slammed the table saying, " Aichi, which class is that b! ch, let me settle scores with her."
I then said, " It's alright! It's alright! I mean at least I got to help defend Izaki and morkawa, my friends! So it's alright! I had gone one step forward for being stronger. Right Toshiki!"
He then patted me saying, " Yeah, but in vanguard you're still a beginner, so work hard on it."
Then I picked out my deck and said, " Toshiki kun can you help me check my deck?"
He then checked it, he would always comment you should put more triggers and one or two more grade threes to make it a balance deck. When he saw blaster blade, his expression softens and smiled at me saying, " You kept this card in care?"
I blushed saying," Y-yes…"
Miwa smirked at me and Kai and said, "Wow~~you two look so good together! You tow should go out sometime don't you think?"
I blushed while Kai looked away, I then told Miwa, "M—M-Miwa, you do know that it's illegal in japan!"
Then he said, " Well love has no limits! You can go to France, the country of love~~"
I blushed saying," France is not the country of love, P-Paris is the city of love, France is the country of human rights and fashion. Spain is the most romantic place in the world."
Miwa then said, " Mou! Don't start being so smart in front of me! You make me look so stupid! Anyways, I am the love expert, now you listen Aichi! Love isn't produced by intelligence. It's by a feeling call love. Now tell me the definition of love."
I then said, " It's occurs when your heart is beating very fast, which would cause you to blush, this may be misunderstood as the feeling embarrassment or shame."
Miwa then laughed at me saying, " No, Aichi. I don't want any organs to it or any logical explanation. Now say it with me l-o-ve-e-e."
I then said, " Love?"
He then dropped on the floor and said, " I give up!"
I then said, " S-s-sorry,are you alright? Um….I'm A- sexual Miwa kun.
He then said, " Well, we can definitely help with that!" he said.
Kai's POV
As I was looking out of the window, while Miwa kept blabbering nonsense of which girl he should date. Suddenly somebody opened the door, which made everybody silence, was it the teacher, no. It was Aichi!
I was stunned when I saw him in the new uniform, well somehow it was…..quite cute… He looked like a little boy which was lost. Uniform as small as an elementary school's, eyes so pure with a tint of adorableness, looking worried and almost wanting to cry. I blushed at the thought of it.
Miwa smirked at me saying, " He's quite cute in the uniform doesn't he. Damn you Miwa! Why do you always get to read my mind. I glared at him saying, "As if."
He then said, " Come on, you ought to think about that, It's all written on your face!"
I then noticed her cheeks which had bandages on it. I then asked hurriedly, " What happened to Aichi?" with a really concerned voice looking at Miwa.
Miwa then showed me a picture where Aichi was crying, he then said, " Well he said, he tripped while going down the stairs but it's just so suspicious because he was fidgeting an awful lot.
I snatched his cell phone from him seeing if it was true or not. I got a pained expression on my face. Is she getting bullied again? Oh no, how could they do something like this to him? I'll get to the bottom of this."
My eyes were travelling on her, watching her every move just in case anything goes wrong. Suddenly somebody tripped her down, many people snickered at her.
She moaned, she looked dropped to the ground, she stayed there for a while since she had lots of bruises on his knees, I quickly stood up and raised my hand to help her.
When she looked at me, she was surprised she then asked why was I here.
Then I told her, ' That was my line."
He told me that he got the scholarship again.
I then touched his cheek gently with a pained expression, he hissed and blushed saying it was really painful.
I then asked, "Why do you have scars on your face?" with really concerned voice.
He then looked down avoiding eye contact, then said, " Um…i-i-I tripped when I was going down the s-stairs." He started fidgeting even more.
I knew he was suspicious, he's not telling the truth. I then took his chin and pulled him really close to my face.
I then said with a really concerned and serious tone, "Aichi, I know you're lying, you're fidgeting and you're not looking at me in the eye. Aichi Tell me now, I'm worried and I am not going to let go if you don't tell me. "He tried to escape but I hold on to his waist.
He then whimpered and whispered, " o-ok, but I can only tell you at break time, it's really personal…"
I then nodded and said, "You don't have a seat do you? Why don't you seat with me." I said looking away from her trying to hide my blush.
Why am I blushing, my heart starts to beat faster, what is this strange feeling? My cheeks burning….Oh God…..
He then smiled at me saying, "Geez, thanks Kai kun! "Everybody gaped as I glared at them. Shit, could you all freaking get in my bloody business?
I then said to him blushing, " You can call me Toshiki if you want…"
He then agreed, he doesn't seem to know the meaning of calling me like that, he may think it was normal cause in his country they call them by the second name and not the surname. But it's actually somebody that is close to you….
As we both sat down, suddenly all the girls came around me saying, " Ohaiyo kai kun! Mou! Why would you let a nerd sit beside you." They snickered saying it with a pure voice.
Suddenly aichi walked out of the crowd and Miwa was talking to him. How dare you Miwa…Why do I feel so angry? Ah god damn it!
I wanted to get out of this crowd too, but they blocked me saying, "Did you know he blamed everything towards the whole class and all of them got suspended. You shouldn't hang out with a bitch like him. A spoiled brat should learn solitude, so he should suffered, I heard he didn't even sweat a single drop to get one hundred percent, especially on Japanese!"
I slammed the table hard and glared at all of those sons of a b! ch. I told them with anger, "Don't you dare talk about Aichi like that! You have no rights to talk about him like that! It's none of your freaking business! You had never seen his bloody past and you're talking shit about him!"
How dare you talk about him like that, you never saw him suffer yet he still gives you a smile on the face. Dare say one more word about him like that, I am sure to settle scores with you later.
I noticed he lowered his head, I walked towards him saying, " Why did you walked away just now? Is it because of them talking trash about you?"
He then said, "No! I don't mind them calling me a nerd! Am I not a nerd? It just felt so awkward because I felt like I was interrupting the conversation between you and her! I felt like I should go out for a while since...they were sending glares, as if I was interrupting them or as if I'm an obstacle."
When a girl wanted to objected it, Miwa showed her the evidence we were all looking for and all the girls went back to their places pissed off.
I then said "You don't need to feel awkward because I will be right beside you ok?"
He nodded and we all took our seats because class was starting.
At break time, he told us the incident. I was so angry that I asked him, " Which class was that b! ch in? I'm gonna settle the scores with her." How dare she asked the whole class to go against aichi.
He then said no because he got a lesson and he had moved towards a step of being stronger. I smiled at him sweetly and patted him, he really is growing up.
But I told him he was still a beginner at playing Vanguard, but if he were to fight everyone in the shop, he might be the candidates to become a champion.
He then asked me to check his deck. For a starter, he's doing really good, it just needs to be a little balance.
As I flip through his deck, I saw blaster blade, the one that gave us the only connection, without this I doubt he would remember me. Ah….why am I so selfish. One day, he will be in pain because of me….Why do i still want him to remember me no matter what? I hurt her so badly….
I smiled at him, asking he took a good care of this card, he blushed saying yes.
Miwa then told us that we looked like couple, which made us all blushed in embarrassing.
