The trees were gently swaying to one side as the wind sang its tune through the trees' leaves. Birds were chirping happily in the sun and the burning sun rays would heat up each of the classrooms from Seigaku high school. They knew that it was summer and in just a few more minutes, there would be summer break.

Each of the students didn't pay much attention to the teacher. They were all too bus looking at the clock tick away, waiting for that last second for school to end. Their energy was pent up and locked away. Just a few more seconds before the bell rings and then happy summer starts!

"Remember, testing will start up once you come back so study hard." The teacher emphasized with a forced smile on her face. The class was paying no attention to her and she was not a happy woman when that happens.

RING!

The students flung their papers in the air. Papers were fluttering down or flying out the window. Many of the teenagers were shouting "SUMMER! Yes, hell is over and heavenly summer is here!"

Many of the girls from the regular tennis team had their own plans for the summer but let's start with our little bookworm, Fujimoto Emi.

After school, Emi would be found in the library. She loves to read books especially ones about forbidden love between a prince and maid or something related. Emi would be found on a secluded section of the library. She would have at least 3 tall stacks of books on her table, waiting to be read.

She had already finished her 1st book, the one about a prince who has to search for his suitable wife before a deadline. She thought it was a cliché but the more she read into it, the more it seemed not to typical. She was too engrossed with her book to notice two of her classmates hovering over her, waiting.

The girls had obvious smirks on their faces. They were waiting to do something to Emi and it wasn't anything nice.

"Hello Fujimoto." Bully #1 greeted with a friendly smile.

"What 'cha reading there, Fujimoto?" Bully #2 mimicked the way Bully #1 smiled.

Emi didn't pay attention. She was too immersed with her book to even notice their existence. But the girls were not satisfied one bit. Bullies want their victims to know of their existence no matter how much it was worth to the helpless victim. Bullies control their victims by hurting them physically and making sure they are afraid of them.

Bully #1 took Emi's book and smiled. "You're such a bookworm. A normal girl would go to YouTube and watch movies from there." She said.

"I want my book." Emi stated, taking her book back. Emi ignored them again. She didn't want to get mixed up with them any longer and they were messing up her summer. She was going to check out some books in the library, go buy the new T-Chat that was all the rage nowadays (T-Chat is invented b Sakamoto by the way), and then she would go home.

"You b!tch." Bully #1 shoved Emi from her chair. Emi fell hard on the floor. She landed on her right shoulder which caused a huge and painful impact. As Emi got up, she could feel a huge stab of pain on her right shoulder.

"What's going on here?" the two bullies and Emi turned their heads towards the direction of the voice. Emi couldn't believe who it was.

"Shusuke-sama," The bullies tool two steps back.

"Are you alright?" Fuji brushed past them and showed some concern for Emi.

The two bullies, who were obviously jealous, were both Fuji fans. They couldn't forgive Emi for gaining any attention at all from the genius.

"She started it." Bully #1 accused. "Yeah, she started to call us names and tried to hit us then she said to stay away from you Shusuke-sama." Bully #2 agreed. The smirked behind Fuji's back. They were confident that two against one would be better.

"That's impossible," Emi said, gaining strength.

"Hah, how would Shusuke-sama know? You're obviously lying." Bully #2 almost growled.

"Like I said before, it's impossible. I'm the only one hurt and you also have no proof that I said anything and even if you had each other, you two are friends so you would automatically agree with the other." Emi said.

"But you tried to hit us!"

"Where did I hit you?" Emi asked.

"Err…on my stomach and for her, on the left cheek." Bully #2 said.

"Shouldn't you be rubbing your stomach and why isn't her cheek even the slightest bit red? Also, I was the only one on the ground." Emi said.

"You hurt your shoulder because you fell by yourself." Bully #1 cleverly said.

"That's true but me falling by myself would create a strong enough impact for my shoulder to hurt so much which means someone pushed me." Emi countered.

"So, you can't prove that we pushed you or that your arm is hurt really badly." One of them said.

Emi smiled. "Then…how did you know my arm was hurt, even that badly, when I didn't say anything until after I proved something wrong in your theory of me hitting you?" Emi said. The girls paled. They were sloppy and they let Emi prove that they were wrong with one witness there who now knew the truth.

"I'll take Fujimoto-san to the infirmary. You two should run on home." Fuji still had his smile but a dark and menacing aura was around him, scaring the girls off.

Emi noticed this and wondered why he helped her out. "Um…Fuji-san, I can go to the infirmary by myself. And there was no need to help me at all." Emi said, walking away while placing her left hand on her shoulder to try to rub the pain away.

Fuji walked up to her to stop her. "I'll go with you; those girls might try to hurt you again." Fuji smiled again. Emi nervously smiled. 'I think they'll want to kill me if you do.' She wanted to say that but she didn't mind him walking next to her at all.

They walked in silence for a couple if minutes. Emi slowly averted her gaze to Fuji. She noticed that he had feminine yet very manly features. His light brown hair that looked so soft, his beautiful pale skin, his tall yet lean outline of his body, and his wonderful voice she strangely liked listening too. She was absolutely absorbed in staring at Fuji's smiling face.

Emi could feel her heart beat faster and her breath got shallower. He was like the prince from her story books yet this was a real person not some random prince from some random story.

"You're staring at me." Fuji chuckled at Emi's happy yet dazed look. Emi, suddenly feeling self-conscious, blushed a cherry red color.

"I-I was not." She stuttered and walked ahead. Fuji chuckled some more and caught up to her easily.

"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have made fun of you." Fuji smiled.

"Are you really?" She pouted cutely. Fuji chuckled some more at Emi's changing reactions.

When they finally reached the infirmary, the nurse checked Emi's arm and said that she should be fine in two days of taking it easy. Emi was happy that she didn't have to do some large amount of time like a month then her precious summer vacation would be ruined.

"I'll walk home with you." Fuji offered. Emi nodded, thinking that he was a gentleman right now. Emi restrained herself from looking at Fuji; she definitely did not want him to mark her as one of his fan girls which was very horrible in Emi's opinion.

When they finally reached Emi's apartment, Fuji still followed her. She wondered why he kept following her even when they got inside. After a couple of minutes, they reached to Emi's room but Fuji was still there.

"…Um Fuji-san, you can go home now." She said. Fuji smiled but then it didn't really count because he always smiles, right?

"Alright," He walked to the door right next to Emi's and opened it with his key. Emi's jaw dropped. Fuji chuckled at her reaction.

"It seems as though we're neighbors." Fuji chuckled again at her reaction, Emi was just too amusing in his point of view.

"B-But, I just moved here a little before the beginning of school year." Emi said as she gained her composure back.

"Saa, I was here before you then because someone moved near me a couple of days after I did. I didn't think it was you." Fuji said. "Good night," he added, closing the door behind him as he entered his apartment.

"Neighbors?" Emi was too shocked too move. She opened her mouth. "Humna humna humna humna…" she repeated over and over again.
