Authors note: This chapter is starting the same day as the last chapter ended. It will start basically after school. Also, what does –chan, -kun, and –san mean in manga and anime? It has bothered me for a while. Please comment or message me the answer. Also how do I use them?

I nod. "Yeah, so?" Everyone stumbles back. "Wait, you actually admit it?" I nodded again. "Yes." Everyone just stared at me. "Um, ok." Then we walked to class. Konoka ran ahead with Fumiko, while me and Shiroma just watched. I noticed there were fewer students than usual.

At class there weren't many students either. I then saw the teacher, who I called "teach", walk in. She had short black hair which went to her shoulders, dark blue eyes, and a black business suite, except she wore a skirt instead of pants. I raised my hand and started walking over. "Hey Teach!" She looked at me. "Yes?" I then stopped in front of her. "There are a lot less students than usual, is something going on?" She nodded. "Yes, there is a virus going around. Many students have to stay home." Everyone stared, as no one heard anything of this. I then asked. "How long has it been going around?" She laughed. "Ever since Monday." I nodded and walked to my seats. I wasn't really worried; I have rarely ever gotten sick. Then Shiroma, Konoka, and Fumiko sat down and started talking. Eventually Fumiko looked at me. "IIsan, aren't you worried." I laughed a bit and shook my head no. "Not really, I've rarely been sick… ever." She then tilted her head a bit. "Really?" I nodded. "I can probably count on my hands how many times I've been sick." Then teach dropped her books onto the desk at the very front of the room. "Ok, take your seats! It's time to get started!" Everyone quickly ran to their seats.

After school we all walk to the front gates, well all of us except Yamakawa. "So IIsan, you ganna try to get with Yamakawa?" I nodded. "Yeah, I'll try." They all stumbled back again. Shiroma walked up to me. "Dude, you're too honest! We can't tease you if you're this honest!" I laughed. "Not my problem." Then we heard someone yelling. "Hey guys!" I turned around as Yamakawa came running up, yet another girl was following her. "Sorry, did I make you guys weight?" She asked. I shook my head no. "We just got here ourselves." Then the other girl walked up. "Hi." She said. I did a slight wave. "Sup." Konoka jumped on my shoulder. "Hey ya!" Fumiko and Shiroma then walked up next to me. "Hi." They both said. Yamakawa put her hand on the girls shoulder. "This is Saori Himemiya, were in the same band." Konoka then ran up to both of them. "Wow, you guys are in a band! No wonder IIsan likes you Yamakawa!" Yamakawa stumbled back in shock. "W-w-what?" I flicked the back on Konoka's head. "Quiet!" I demanded. Konoka clenched up. "Ow!" Yamakawa laughed a bit. I looked at Saori. "So what type of band?" Saori and Yamakawa looked at each other. "Were not sure yet, we only have to people." I nodded and added a question. "Well what instruments do you play?" Saori smirked a bit. "I play bass and keyboard, while Yamakawa plays drums." I nodded. "So its heading in a rockfish direction… do you have a vocalist?" They shook their head no. "Neither of us can sing." Yamakawa said. Konoka then turned to me. "Ethan, I saw a guitar in your room!" Everyone looked at me and smirked. "Do you play IIsan?" Saori said. I scratched the back of my head. "I did a bit in middle school, but only by myself." Saori smiled a bit and looked at the ground. "You know, guitarists are pretty cool." She said. I looked at her, I didn't completely hear her. Then Yamakawa asked. "Is it ok if she comes with us?" I nodded. "Yeah, why not. The more the merrier! Although we won't be able to eat dinner at my place." She sat there and thought for a minute. "We could go get something to eat, then we could go to your house." I nodded in agreement. "Sounds good, that could work." We then started to walk. It was really quiet, even Konoka didn't say a word.

A bit later we were half way to my house. I had a bad feeling in my gut that something was about to happen. I looked back at the others, as they just looked forward trying to find a way to break the silence. Then a way found us as I started turning around. A fist slammed against my face and sent me flying back, I slammed onto the pavement. My nose started to bleed. Once I could I looked up to see a group of men, most I've seen before but I didn't know were. The two came up and held me off the ground by my arms. "We aren't happy about what you did! It's time for us to return the favor." I watched as one guy walked up to me. "I'm sorry, who are you?" I asked. He snarled. "I'm one of the guys you beet in the alley!" I nodded. "Oh, you guys are part of 'The white sharks' th-" Yet before I could finished he slammed his fist into my gut, winding me. He laughed.

Authors note: Well, it's not 1000 words, but I had to get a new chapter posted. I hope you liked it! And the question from before, what does –chan, -kun, and –san mean in manga and anime? Im also looking for names for the leader, or one of the leaders, for "The White Sharks." It might not be the best gang name, but it's the best I could come up with.
