Life Story

Chapter 2

First Day Of School (-.-;; I know, I know.. Even the title sucks.)

Chirp, chirp.

Tweet, twitter, tweet.

Saemi stirred from her sweet slumber as she heard the early birds sing to the morning. Yawning and stretching her arms, she sat up. After five minutes or so, she got out of bed and glanced at the clock. 6:18 am.

Glad she was up early on her first day ever of high school, Saemi went into her bathroom and began to shower, singing a soft tune. Once she was done, she wrapped a towel around her slightly plump body and brushed her teeth, blah, blah, blah.. You know. The usual. Later on, when she was putting on her new school uniform, she groaned inwardly.

"God, why do they have to make these damned school skirts so short? I thought schools were supposed to teach their students modesty and discipline, not how to show off their legs. And what's with this big red bow? Is it too hide girls' small boobs or something?" Saemi said to her mirror in sarcastic shock.

She opened her door and was greeted by.. her hamster. She let out a shriek and jumped back before she heard two oh-so-familiar laughs.

"Hibiki! Hinoto-oneesan! What are you-? AARRGH!" she screamed at her gasping-with-laughter siblings.

"G-gomen, imoto! Ehehehe. W-w-we couldn't resist! Mrrphght bwahahahahaha!" Hinoto choked out.

Fuming, Saemi stormed downstairs, dark chocolate-brown hair flying behind her, the delicious smell of bacon and eggs wafting around her. She entered the kitchen stomping and sat down on her chair with a loud 'PLONK!'. Then she began eating her breakfast so fast, it would put poor Sakuragi to shame.

"I take it Hinoto and Hibiki pulled a prank on you again?" Duero said from behind his newspaper without looking up.

Mouth full of toast, Saemi stopped eating for a second to mumble 'hai' then returned to her eating frenzy. Kitori smiled.

"Today's the first day of school, dear. Are you sure you don't want the driver to send you to school?" Kitori said two minutes later, since Saemi was already done eating. (^^;;;)

Saemi let out an exasperated sigh. "Hai, 'kaasan. I can manage. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm going to be 14! Besides, I've been there once!"

"Yes, once," Kitori emphasized.

Saemi sighed again and picked up her glass of milk.

"Don't worry, 'kaasan. I'm not underage in school for nothing, you know."

"Hai, and okaasan and otousan are so proud that you can still cope!" Kitori said.

Saemi downed the milk in one go, wiped her mouth with a tissue and jumped up from her seat.

"Great! Then you won't have to worry anymore! Its 7am now, so I gotta go okay? Ja!" she said, grabbing her bag, and whizzed past her parents and was out of the house before anyone could say 'Ja' back.

Once her house was out of sight, Saemi slowed down from her run and began walking at a leisurely pace. The school wasn't that far from her house. Only about 4 blocks. Saemi sighed and looked around her, enjoying the scenery. A little while later, Shohoku High came into view. She grinned.

"Shohoku High, here I come!!"

* * * *

{20 minutes later}

Saemi smiled to herself as she took a seat in her class. She had spent the past few minutes looking for this class and had finally found it. Since she was early (very VERY early..) she decided to watch the doorway for any familiar faces. Slowly, as time passed, students shuffled into class one by one. But one of them, however, stood out far among the rest. Saemi scrutinized the girl carefully and uncertainly said, "Enishi?" in the direction of the girl.

The brown-haired girl heard it and turned around fully. She grinned broadly as she said, "Hi!"

"Enishi?"

"Yep! In the flesh!"

"Enishi?"

"Here I am!"

"Enishi?"

The said girl sighed. Then she took Saemi by the shoulders and started shaking her.

"Helloooooo? Earth to Saemi! Wake up! Stop repeating my name!" Enishi screamed into her ear, causing several people to stare at them.

"Enishi?"

Sweatdrop.

"Ahehe. I was getting irritating, wasn't I? Gomen, gomen."

"Daijoubu!" Enishi said in her chipper voice.

"Anyway. What are you doing here?! I thought you enrolled in Shoyo High!" Saemi demanded.

Enishi chuckled. "True, I WAS. but when I heard that you and Mirupe (a.k.a. milk) were coming here I decided to follow you too!"

"Aww, sweet aren't you?"

"Hehe. Its not only me, you know."

Then, all of a sudden, four girls burst through the classroom door. One was really tall for a girl, with long brown hair and brown eyes, another was slightly plump with large boobs (^^ gomen! I couldn't resist! Gomen, Susu!), while the third had shoulder-length brown hair and very pretty brown eyes and a look that screamed 'I LOVE HARRY POTTER!'. The last one was a shy-looking girl with rather dark skin and glasses. Saemi let out a gasp of surprise when she got a good look at their faces.

Enishi smiled again (AN: . She sure is starting to act like Sendoh, isn't she?) and continued, "The rest of the gang are here too!"

"Kaoru! Arashi! And. Chiharu?! Minna! You're all really here!" Saemi shrieked, gaining the attention of several people in the class.

"Yep! Same school and class all over again!" Arashi said.

"Best friends forever, ya? Just like we promised back in Junior High!" Kaoru added.

The girls giggled then started chattering. Just then, a guy walked into their class. He really caught Saemi's eye.

'Raven-black hair. Ice blue eyes. Stoic expression. That is. Rukawa Kaede! The oh-so-great basketball player from Tomigoaka High! (- emm.. Did I get that correct?)' Saemi thought excitedly, being the basketball-crazy person she was. The guy named Rukawa slumped over his table and slept the moment he sat down.

"So what do you think, Saemi-chan?" A voice cut through her thoughts.

"Hmm? Sorry, what was that?"

Kaoru sighed exasperatedly. "I asked you what you thought of gangsters and punks."

"Hmph! I think they're horrible! Going around bullying people.. And none of them are even kawaii!" Chiharu said huffily.

"That's so not true!" Enishi countered. "There is one gangster in our school who is reaaallly kawaii! Great legs... Ooh! And you just HAVE to check out his bod! Forget the long hair! He is SEXY!"

Saemi rolled her eyes at her boy-crazy friend but smiled anyway, and asked, "What's his name?"

"Mitsui Hisashi."

It was Arashi who supplied the answer then joined Enishi in her tirade about cute guys, naming all the guy they think is cute. (^^;;).

"Hmm. Sounds familiar. I'd like to check him out sometime.," Saemi unconsciously spoke her thoughts out loud.

At that, Arashi and Enishi stopped their bishounen-counting and said in unison, "You cannot!"

"Oh? And why not?" Saemi was not surprised she spoke out loud. It happened often.

"That's because he's VERY dangerous! He'll get his revenge on you if you rile him up. NOT a good thing."

"And, everyone in school avoids him, except for his gangster friends, that is."

The other girls shuddered. Just then, the teacher entered the class and obviously, everyone went back to their places.

"Mitsui Hisashi," She whispered as the teacher introduced himself as their science teacher.

"Mitsui Hisashi.," the name had a very nice and yet, familiar ring to it. The teacher asked every student to stand in front of the class and introduce themselves.

"I'll meet you someday and no one's stopping me," she silently vowed then focused her attention on the first student.
