First Day Part One

"Hi, nice to meet you all. My names Kakyuu Miharu. Um, just call me Miharu. That is proper Japanese, right?" I look over at my homeroom teacher who just looks back. Its creeping me out, but I keep it to myself. I am, after all, the only student in the class that looks the way I do.

I have long honey colored hair. With blue eyes, that change color with my mood. My eyes aren't japanese looking, but I know my mom is japanese. And my dad's half japanese half American. Please don't ask about that.

I'm standing infront of the class and my teacher looks at all the students. "Alright students, this begins the new school year. And even a little late, we have a new student. Please make her feel welcome here."

"Yes Mr.Kujuurou,"the class chorused and I took my seat. Which was, unluckily for me, in the front of the class. I can't stand the way this teacher is looking at me. I feel all.....funny? Doesn't explain how I'm actually feeling, but its the closest I can get.

I hear girls giggling in the back of the class. I turn to see what's up. It was nothing really, just some girl looking like Britney Spears wannabe's. Or maybe they are? The I notice this other girl who just rolls her eyes. I don't give a care anyway. So I turn back around.

Geez, homeroom, first day, and this freakin teacher is still looking at me funny. I wanna jump up and scream what the hell his problem is. But I don't. I keep it in and sit quietly, alone. I peek up at the teacher, who still has his eyes fixated on me.

I get a pretty good look too. This guy must have been in the army or something. He has these scar's on him. On his face, a few on his arms. And has this tan to die for as well. He looks....how do I put this.....dark? Yea, dark. And his hair is blue and so are his eyes.

Weird, I think and then the announcements come on. This principle sounds pretty lame. But the guy ah....seems, nice enough. I got the normal announcements. I really wish I would have came on the first day.

The bell sounds and we all leave for first period. This high school is bigger than I thought. I step to a side hall and take out my schedule to see what my first class is.

"Okay, first period is in room 515, teacher is Mr.Hashiba class is Science." so I head off to my first official class.

Wasn't good. I ended up late and am still sitting in the front of the class. I kinda feel better though. The teacher was late as well. And I get a good look at my Science teacher. His hair is blue, so are his eyes. But they are lighter than Mr. Kujuurou's. He seems pretty cool and apologizes for being late.

He finally notice's me, "Ah....who are you?"

I frown and look down, "Kakyuu Miharu, new student."

"Oh yea!" he stands up right and seem's to be remembering....something. "Class, this is ar' new student, Kakyuu Miharu. Please make 'er feel welcome and treat 'er nice." he smiles at me then gose to his desk.

I sit back and wonder how this guy got the job. He sounds like he's from New York. I went there once when I was 10. Which, counting from today, was 6 years ago. I'm lucky 16!

Mr. Hashiba give me a few papers to take home for my parents to sign and class begins, "Alright class, ya should ra'member from yes'taday what we went ov'a about atoms and molucules. Ya should remember this from 6th grade as well." he cleared his throat. I was completely lost. Was he actually speakin the same language as me?

Some girl from the back of the class's squeals, "I love your accent Mr.Hashiba!!!" a few other girls add comments and the teacher laugh/blushes. This just gets annoying. They go off the subject of molcules and into the subject of his accent.

It is cute, but you don't have to interrupt class on a discussion about that! But then I sigh a little happy, no homework from what I can tell. I look over and see a boy looking at me. I look back a moment and he turns and blushes. I smiles to myself. First day, first cute guy.

His hair is brown and kinda loose. Tied back with a blue bandana. Hie eyes are blue-ish and like a little kids eyes. He looks like a normal teenager. He has a regular shirt with very loose jeans on. And looks alot like a skateboarder. My type.

"I wish Mr.Hashiba was my age." I hear a girl behind me say. She sighs happily.

I turn around and look at her funny, "Why would you want that?"

"Don't you hear his accent? It's almost as cool as Mr. Mouri's! Mr. Hashiba is as cute as Mr. Date! Very smart, way smarter than my gym teacher Mr. Faun. And he acts way calmer than Mr. Sanada."

I frown and remember those names. Those are a few teachers I have after science. Each one she mentioned.

The girl smiled, "Hello, my names Shirayuki Maeka. Nice to meet you Miharu. Since science has abruptly stopped, lets chat."

I nodded and looked at Maeka. She had short red hair and light blue eyes. And talked like a very happy-go-lucky person. "So um..." I looked down trying to think of a subject to talk about. Being new sucked.

Maeka giggled, "So, what class do you have next?"

"Ah..." I took out my schedule, "I have history, room 215 teacher is Miss Koji."

"Wow, you must be really smart! She only teaches here one period and only for the really smart kids too! Or the one's interested in history."

"Do you have it next?"

"Nope, I know someone who dose!" she ripped out a piece of notebook paper and then balled it into a paper ball. She turned and aimed it at another girl shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes. She mad a direct hit and the girl turned and glared at Maeka.

"What the heck was that for Maeka!" she yelled, not even getting Mr.Hashiba's attention. He seemed to be enjoying the flattering he was getting.

"Here," she pointed to me, "This is the new girl, Miharu. You have history next right?"

"Well yea," she said, studding me.

"Great! You can show Miharu around now. She has history next too."

"Cool," the girl smiled at me, "Hi, my names Asou Kaori! Nice to meet you Miharu." I nodded.

Someone tapped my shoulder and I turned to them. They handed me a note, "This is from him." the boy turned and pointed to the boy I was looking at earlier. He smiled and waved at me. I blushed instantly.

"Ohhhh! Miharu! You got a love note first day! It took Kaori two months to get one!"

"Hey!" Kaori threw a paper ball at Maeka and she laughed. I was more interested in the note. I opened it and read it to myself.

Um, hi! My names Yamato Yuli, I sit two rows and three seats away from you. I um, just wanted to say hi I guess. And you look great in your school uniform. Even though every other girl in school is wearing one to, I just wanted to say, I kinda think you look best. Um, your names Miharu right? I hope I spelled it right, sorry if I didn't. Well ah, what class do you have next?

Yuli

Maeka and Kaori were looking right over my shoulder at the note. I closed it quickly, "A little privacy please?" they both giggled and went back to there seats before Mr.Hashiba became suspicious.

I looked over at Yuli who was looking at me. Our eyes met and he turned away quickly. I smiled and responded to the note.

Well, um, hi to you too Yuli. You spelled my name right. I'm glad you like my uniform. Yours is ah...not that bad either. I have history next with Miss Koji. Where do you go?

~Miharu

I closed it and passed it back to Yuli. He looked eager I could see. As soon as it landed on Yuli's desk Mr. Hashiba intercepted.

"And what might this be Yuli?" he asked suspiciously. He opened it and read it to his self. I could feel my cheeks get hot. He looked back at Yuli, then at me.

All he did was smile and put the note in his pocket. I could only wonder why he found that amusing. I was dieing of embarrassment here! Maeka and Kaori giggled and then with 10 minutes of class left, our lesson began.

Unfortunately, we ended up with more homework that any other class since the girls in the back of the class decided they wanted to go on about Mr. Hasiba's accent. Me and my two new friends, Maeka and Kaori walked to history.

"Where do you go next?" I asked Maeka as me and Kaori walked into history.

"Me, I have world history with Mr.Kujuurou. It is going to suck!! It always dose, well see you two later." Kaori dragged me into the class as Maeka walked off. I bit my lip and frowned. At least until I saw Yuli sitting in a window seat. An empty one right infront of him.

"Ohhh!" Kaori giggled and directed to towards that seat. Despite all my struggling I finally went and sat. Kaori took the seat across from me and I looked down blushing.

My teacher then hurries in, she's carrying a brief-case like thing. Well, I'm not to sure what it is. But I guess you could call it a portable class room. She lunges it onto the desk and looks at us all.

"Sorry I'm a little late today. Traffic from the university was very bad. Oh, it seems we have a new student." she walked over to me and smiled leaning over some and bowing. "It's very nice to meet you Miss...?"

"Oh!" I look down feeling a little dumb, "My names Kakyuu Miharu."

Miss Koji smiled again and stood up, "Well it is very nice to meet you Miss Kakyuu. I hope you like it here at this school." she walked to the chalk board and began our lesson.

Kaori yawned and sat back in her seat. "Boring, " I heard her mumble.

I didn't agree though. Miss Koji seemed very nice. And was the only female teacher I had this entire semester! So I enjoyed it while I could. By mid class I got a tap on the shoulder. I turned and blushed, knowing who was behind me.

Yuli handed me another slip of paper. Another note. I made sure no one was looking, and opened it.

Hi again. Sorry Mr. Hashiba took the note. I'm happy he didn't read it out loud. Which is what he normally dose. Well, since I can see what class you have now. What do you have after this? I'm just wondering and all.

Yuli

I couldn't help but blush. Was he trying to give me a sign or what?I whip out my favorite gel pin and write him back. Making sure Kaori was half asleep and not worried about me.

It's okay Yuli. After this I have Algebra. Which is bad because math isn't exactly my best subject. Well, ah, where do you go next?

~Miharu

As secretly as I could I passed the note back to him. He took it and I had the most amazing feeling. His hand touched mines! His hand touched mine! For those of you out there who don't know, this is a very amazing sensation for me to have. It was like....electricity went to my brain and it felt all.....funny?

Well, after my brief moment of happiness the world moved on. And Miss Koji called on me.

"So, what do you think it should be Miss Kakyuu?" she looked at me, knowing I wasn't paying attention.

I frowned and laughed nervously. "Um...ah, what's the question again?"

She shook her head, "How about you Miss Asou?" Kaori laughed nervously and shook her head no.

"Say that again,"

Miss Koji sighed, "Yuli, your answer."

"Oh, um," Yuli looked down kind of confused, "I think that...ah, dose it really matter?"

Miss Koji seemed to like that response, "Very good, thank you for paying attention. I like that opinion very much." she went on about something. I didn't know what, I got confused.

I threw my arms back and relaxed. And almost jumped when something brushed against my hand. I took the note from Yuli, and read it under my desk.

That's cool. I have that next to. Seems our schedules are alot alike. After this I have math, home economics, then lunch. After that is study hall ,gym, language arts and my foreign language class. Your class's are?

I responded quickly

Those are my exact class's! That is so cool Yuli! I won't be alone or bored or anything. This will be so cool! Maybe we could, ah, sit together at lunch, or in a few class's?

I handed it back and he took it. Our hands brushing again. Such a heavenly feeling. Until Kaori poked me with her pencil with a giant grin. First day, cool friend, and I KNOW this is going to be one of my best friends this year.

Yuli hands me back the letter and I take it. I feel like I wanna hold his hand. Is this first love? Love, oh! I hope so!

I open and read the note.

I'd love to sit with you Miharu! Any class anywhere. It would be great. Thanks for asking me. I could introduce you to the teachers too! I know most of them from er....previous experience's. Like Miss Koji, I used to live with her when I was 8 until I turned 10. Then I went back with my parents. Anyway, um, I'll sit with you at lunch.

Yuli

I basically melt! This is to good to be true! I swear, of things keep on going like this, I will be in heaven. With Yuli Yamato!

Well, I was about to respond, until Miss Koji took the note from me. I blushed a shade of crimson. Just like Mr. Hashiba she read it and smiled at us. Then puts it in her pocket. The bell rang and next period was in session.

"Hey Miharu! It seems Yuli has a crush on you!" Kaori chorused.

"Or is it the other way around?" I turn and look at the girl behind me. She has long, dark pink hair and icy blue eyes. Tied into a way making her look VERY rich. Behind her was another boy with light brown hair and dark brown eyes. Talk about ya mixin and matchin.

"Could be, "the guy says, then smiles playfully at me, "Hi, I'm Tidus Winnstar. American transfer student. Please ta meet ja. Now, how about your phone number."

The girl elbows him in the stomach, "Don't mind this dumbo. Hi, I'm Yae Miyuki. And it is nice to meet you."

I half blush and half nod. This is a little new. Who ever thought making friends on the first day was so easy? "Hey guys!" I turn to Maeka's voice. She giggles and stops infront of us.

"Hey Tidus, hey Miyuki, hey Miharu what's up Kaori. How's it goin everyone?" she say's in her normal happy tone.

"Fine Maeka," Miyuki says, the two start to talk about something and Kaori leaves for her next class. I sigh and go off to my next period. Tidus yelling at the two girls to get moving.

All of a sudden a hand goes over my mouth and I'm pulled to the side. I try and scream out but someone tells me to 'shhhhh' so I do as told. I get released and I turn to see my captor. It's Yuli. I sighs of relief, then punch him in the arm.

"Don't do that! You scared the heck out of me!"

"Sorry, "he throws his hand behind his head and smiles." Come on, Dais...I mean, Mr.Kuroda gets really mean when were late for class." He grabs my hand, *my* hand, and we go off for math. Algebra, whatever!

I can't help but ask, " Is that his real name? Dais I mean,"

"Yup, " Yuli say's and were in algebra as soon as the bell rings.

"Late," the teacher looks at us and I frown. It seemed he was going to say more until he noticed Yuli still was holding my hand. Talk about embarrassment. We both blushed and let go.

I take my seat, which is right next to Yuli. And class begins, or so I thought....hoped is more like it. The teacher just stared at us. And the rest of the class talked amongst each other.

And it's freaking me the hell out! This dude is worse than Mr.Kujuurou! He looks back and forth at me and Yuli. No one else seems to notice, or give a damn either! This dude looks.....odd? He has this long white curly hair, and icy blue eyes. And what's most unusual is.......he has an eye patch. Talk about the past coming alive. We have a freaking pirate in here!

And why can't they just STOP staring at me?!? These weird teachers. Its scaring me. I guess Yuli notice's because he looks over and smiles at me. I sigh, feeling a little relived.

I put my head on the desk and mumble, "I hate math. I hate math. I hate math." I poke my head up and Mr.Kuroda's right in my face. I jump out of my seat and back a little. Scared to death.

The class laugh's and I sigh taking my seat, "Sorry," I mumble, wondering if Yuli laughed as well.

"It's fine," Mr.Kuroda say's and half smiles at me, " I suppose your the new student hmm? What might your name be?"

"Kakyuu Miharu." I say, and stay focused on my desk. Feeling my teach's eyes on me, not to mention the rest of the class.

"Class," he stands and turns to the rest of the class, "This is our new student. Please make her feel welcome here since her best subject doesn't seem to be this class. That's sad really, "he sat at his desk, " I think you could really learn to like this class."

He smiles at me and I glance over at Yuli who doesn't look exactly pleased. I can't help but wonder why. Maybe he's jealous? I wish....

This class goes past faster than I thought it would. Yule and I avoided passing notes, since that hadn't been our recent luck. And this class seemed....easier, than the others. Teachers nice, and I felt kinda bad for thinking what I thought at the beginning of the period.

I stood out in the hall with Yuli who was talking to me about the teachers, "See, there all nice. And like to keep a good profile on me and what I'm doing. Kinda like a family."

"That's cool, "I say as we walk to home economics'. I bump into a boy who quickly turns and helps me up.

"Sorry," he say's with a smile. Yuli stands scowling at the other boy. A girl comes from behind him.

"Yes, were very sorry." the girl says and I look at them a moment.

Right off the bat I can tell there twins. Both have black hair and green eyes, wearing normal school uniforms. The girl hair is longer than the boy's, with pink highlights. And the boy's hair is alot like Yuli's.

"I'm Kotobuki Takumi, and this is my twin sis Sakuya, nice to meet you Miharu." the boy(Takumi) say's as we enter the home ec. room. We sit at a table, Yuli right next to me and Takumi and Sakuya right across from us.

"How'd you know my name?" I ask, feeling that they both seemed strangely familiar.

"Just luck," Yuli mumbled in a low voice.

"Well, "Takumi raised an eyebrow at Yuli but ignored him, "I'm in your science class."

"And I'm in your homeroom." Sakuya say's smiling, "All the teachers are really nice to you!"

"Good morning class," the teacher walks in and smiles at all of us. I can feel my heart beat faster. The teacher has light brown hair and sea green eyes, and the most adorable british like accent. "I trust you all are ready for another day." his eyes revert to me and I blush.

"This is a new student, Cye." Yuli says and the teacher looks at him funny a moment.

"Yuli, you know your only susposta call me that outside of school. In school it's Mr. Mouri to you! Now, Miss new student, what is your name?"

"Um..." I blush and my mind goes blank. God damnit! I can't remember my own name, "Its ah...."

" Kakyuu Miharu," Sakuya say's for me. I feel relived.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you Miharu. I'm your home economics teacher for this semester of the year. I hope you enjoy my class." he gives me a light smile and sits at his desk.

Yuli glared over at Mr. Mouri. Takumi yawned and sat back in his seat. And Sakuya giggled and passed me a note in purple gel pen.

Hey Miharu! I do hope you like our school. I think Yuli and my brother like you! But it seems you like Mr. Mouri. Isn't his accent so cool? Its to die for! And he acts so mature and polite! Well, what do you think so far? ~ Sakuya

I whip out my pink gel pin and respond.

So far I like this school. I'm not really sure if your brother and Yuli like me. I can't tell much. I am the new girl after all. And Mr. Mouri, well, I guess I like him. He's so cute! That accent is so kawaii. This teacher is just totally cute!

~Miharu

I pass it back to her and wonder why we don't just whisper back and forth. But I kinda like passing notes. Half hoping that Mr. Mouri will take the note, and half hoping that wouldn't happen in my wildest dreams.

I smile up at Mr. Mouri who notice's me, unlike most of the teacher's I've had today, and smiles back. I glance at Yuli who is scribbling on a piece of paper. Not paying one bit of attrition. The I look over at Takumi who has his head in a book pretending to read. I think he's asleep though.

I get the note back.

After this I have lunch. So dose my brother and Yuli. I know Maeka, Kaori and most of the people she hangs out with have lunch to. Lets all sit together! Maybe I could get you fix up with Takumi or Yuli? Ohh, or maybe that hott new exchange student Tidus! This will be so much fun! But I think Tidus if off limits. Miyuki seem's to have dibs on him. Well, write back!

And write back I do,

You don't have to fix me up if you don' want. But....since you seem so willing I don't mind. I just hope it works out. Which do you think I would be better with, Yuli or Takumi?

I pass it back fast and she whispers 'Yuli'. I can't help but smile. And notice Yuli is blushing. Had he heard? Or can he read lips good? After that we keep passing notes. Mr. Mouri seems to notice but doesn't do anything about it. And I listen to his sweet, soft, gentle accent and drift in and out of daydream.

And I damn the school bell when it rings for my next period, lunch. I leave quickly, smiling again at Mr. Mouri I rush to my locker and I find Maeka waiting for me. I grab my lunch bag and stand a moment. She smiles and grabs my arm dragging me to lunch.
