Jeri turned around and giggled as she watched two boys jammed in the
doorway try to push the other one out of the way. They were arguing and
whining, fighting over who got inside first. If they weren't careful they
might end up like some other boys she heard about who had actually broken a
door and had to pay for it.
Silly boys. Always picking a fight over everything She thought with a smile before turning back to unpack her stuff on her new desk in front of the class. Once the notebook and her pretty pencil box was in place, she turned to talk to one of her friends nearby, but was quickly interrupted when one of the boys that had been jammed in the doorway gave a triumphant cry.
"Ha! I win! I'm a winner!" Said one with brown hair that stuck straight up underneath his green visor.
"I'll get you in P.E. just watch!" Whined the other with the glasses.
"I can take you down anywhere, Kenta! Cuz I'm a winner!" The other boy exclaimed proudly.
Jeri looked at her friend, who promptly looked at another friend and they burst into giggles. She watched the boy's face redden before once again turning her attention back to her friends.
"Well at least they know you exist, Kazu." She heard some boy say and casually she glanced up to see who it was.
"Kenta and Kazu." Nikki echoed, a mischievous smile on her face. "They're going to be trouble, I bet."
All the other girls chuckled, but Jeri wasn't really paying attention as she watched a wild haired brunette boy look around and rushed to the far end of the room, past her vision. All she managed to see was a blue-hooded shirt, gray pants and lots of unkempt hair, but that was enough to grab her attention, though she dared not turn around to get a better look at him.
What would my friends think? Must be patient, Jeri. She told herself as she tried to rejoin the chatter.
Suddenly there was a gentle tap to her shoulder and she looked up at another boy. "Sorry but can we switch seats? I can't see the board well from here." He said awkwardly.
If she moved, she'd be one seat behind her friend, instead of across from her, but he needed the seat more then she did. "Oh of course." She replied politely, then she gathered her things and moved up to the desk behind it. Nikki frowned unhappily at her, but Jeri simply shrugged and offered a faint smile before setting her things in order once more.
Jeri assessed her new position. Not bad. Up in front so I can pay attention to Ms. Izagi; close to my friends. I think I'm going to like this class She decided with a faint nod of approval.
"Whatcha doing over there, chumly? Trying to think of new strategies in secret?" She heard the boy called Kazu say tauntingly to someone. Glancing over to her side she realized he was talking to the boy she had noticed earlier.
"Just trying to actually pass this class without getting in trouble for once." The boy said as he threw a paper ball at Kazu, smiling. Jeri instantly felt herself blush at his smile and his laughter was pleasant to her ears.
Not sharp, or loud like the other boys. She mused, studying him some more. His hair was wild and the bangs nearly reached his brows. She liked the color of it immediately; it reminded her of brown sugar and caramel. His smile was so bright and cheerful, it made her want to smile. His skin was tan obviously from playing outside too much, and his eyes.. They change color in the light She thought wondrously.
Jeri was so engrossed in this new boy that she didn't even hear the teacher come in and address them, but instead found herself suddenly face to face with him as he was about to turn around and face the front.
The sun filled his hair with light and his eyes became dark, almost burgundy as they quietly looked at each other. Her heart was racing in her chest when she realized he was studying her with great interest. Was there something wrong with her? She blushed worriedly at the thought, but couldn't tear her eyes away from his. He was just too nice looking to ignore.
Shyly he wiggled his finger at her, saying hello. Flattered and feeling a little giddy, she waved back. He was definitely different from the other boys and she felt herself already starting to like him..
"Katou, Jeri!"
Her happy bubble was burst by the teacher and reluctantly broke for eye contact to answer. "Present!" She called out, raising her hand.
Ms. Izagi nodded politely at her and Jeri was glad that she hadn't been caught. She started to feel a little embarrassed and wondered if she should try to get his attention again, but the thought of making the first step made her blush hotly and stare at her desk.
I can't..I can't.He's a boy, I'm not suppose to like boys yet. She argued to herself. They're loud and rude and silly and rough.
"Matsuda, Takato!" Ms. Izagi replied.
There was a slight pause before a hand shot up like lightening and the boy cried out, "Here!!"
Jeri smiled brightly, glad that she'd been given another opportunity to look his way. He looked quite embarrassed and she gave him a sympathetic smile while the other students snickered at Ms. Izagi's remark to him.
Takato Matsuda..My new friend She thought, pleased. Slowly she returned her gaze back to the front of the class, but her mind still lingered on his adorable smile.
Jeri stifled a giggle as she mused, Takato, you're kinda silly..and a little cute
