Jay Sorry for taking to long, my work is really cutting into my free
time. *sigh... Here's the story, hope you like it.
Flame Blah blah blah. she don't own anything...
Rowen released a heavy sigh as he looked up at the building he stood in front of. He was not looking forward to this day at all. The only positive thing that he could think of was that he had come back now and not in the middle of the year. He couldn't stand out, it would not be aloud. Though, he supposed that being a new student at this school wouldn't help his need to stay unnoticed.
He had arrived early, there seemed to be no other students on the campus. He had to have a meeting with the principle before the first day of school started and he wanted to get a feel of the layout of the school before attempting to navigate the halls through the mass student body.
He slowly trudged into the school building and walked to the principles office. When he opened the door the secretary at the front desk greeted him. "Are you Rowen Hashiba?" Rowen nodded. "Good, your right on time. The principle is right through that door, go ahead in, he is expecting you." He nodded once again and walked through the door he had been directed to.
"Rowen Hashiba, I presume?" the principle asked from the desk he was sitting behind. The principle was a rather large man, Rowen guessed he had enjoyed many a fine meal in his lifetime. He was slightly balding on the top of his head and his black hair was streaked with fine gray hairs. He peered at Rowen through the spectacles that rested on his nose.
"Yes sir." Rowen quietly nodded.
"Well, good to see you're a punctual student. We need more of those at our school." The principle handed Rowen several papers. "Here is a map of the layout of the school, your class schedule, your locker number and combination, and the books you need to pick up from the library before you start your day." Rowen nodded politely as he glanced over his papers. Then he looked up at the principle.
"Principle Sewory, about the letter from my parents.." Rowen paused in thought.
"Ah, yes." Sewory nodded. "I have spoken with the teachers and none of them will point out your IQ level or make a spectacle of your intelligence. Though I must admit the request was slightly surprising, do you not want your accomplishments known?"
Rowen sighed, "Its not that. In the past I have received some unwanted reactions from it before. I would prefer to avoid these reactions at any cost, as would my parents." The principle nodded and than Rowen was dismissed to get ready for the day.
Ryo and Sage waited impatiently at the street corner for their friends, each of them glancing at their watch every now and than. At the same time they both noticed two figures rushing at them quickly. The two impatient boys both tried to hold back an amused smile that tried to crack through at the sight they beheld. One rather stout boy was pulling another smaller boy behind him so quickly that the second boy barely touched the ground. The two racing figures came to a grinding halt before Ryo and Sage.
"What kept you guys?" Ryo asked as they started walking quickly towards school.
Cye was about to say something when Kento interrupted him. "Fish boy here forgot to set his alarm clock, we still would have made it in time if he hadn't insisted on doing all his morning chores before leaving. Ha, for once you can't blame it on me." Kento said smugly.
Sage shook his head in amusement. "It's the first day of school and we are going to start it off with being late."
Ryo huffed. "We're not late yet, we'll get there in time don't worry." Even as he said this, they quickened their pace another notch.
"Have you heard the rumors?" Cye asked casually, knowing his three friends had not. He somehow was always one of the first people to find out anything.
"What rumors?" Kento asked quickly. Sage and Ryo looked at Cye intently waiting for Cye's answer.
"Well, apparently, we're getting a new student. They say he is from America. Though he was originally from Japan. I've been told that he and his family moved into the old Koto mansion." Cye loved knowing the latest gossip before his friends. It was the one moment he was always positive he would never be interrupted.
"Did you catch his name?" Ryo asked curiously.
Cye shook his head, "No, as far as I know, nobody knows who he is exactly." The four boys let their thoughts ponder over this for several more minuets as they raced into the school. They all had homeroom together so they quickly ran their as fast as they could. They had 3 minuets before the bell would ring.
Sage curiosity was peeked and he dared to let the tiniest of hopes form in his mind. He's originally from Japan, but he went to America, now he's back again. could it possibly be. Sage cut off his thoughts and focused on getting to the classroom, they barely made it into the room just as the bell rang. The four boys jumped into the quickest seats they could find.
Rowen glumly sat in his chair. He couldn't believe the number of books that he had to have. It was absolutely ridiculous. He was sure that they grew more numerous every year. He was also sure that his generation would be the ones hunched over themselves in their old years, from having their backs broken from caring their backpacks loaded to the max with books.
He let his thoughts drift to other matters as students began to slowly file into the classroom. He saw them each cast a curious glance his way than turn to whisper to each other. He looked down at his clothes and yet another frown crossed his face. He picked at the shirt he was wearing with something akin to disgust. His clothes were another part of this charade his parents were forcing him to put on. He had been given strict orders to follow in his new school settings. No attachments to any people being the primary one. For some reason his parents did not want him to get attached to any students, they didn't want him to have any friends. The second was to make himself as inapproachable as possible, this where his clothing came in. He looked like a nerd. there was no other way to put it. He was wearing slacks, shiny clean shoes, and a button up t-shirt tucked in. Oh, how he really was despising the way he looked. The third rule was that he was not to get involved in any extra curricular activates and was to return home right after school, no exceptions.
He sighed once more and watched and analyzed each student as they walked in. The majority of the class was now in the room and the teacher was making the final adjustments to his desk. The bell would be ringing any second now.. Just as they bell began its chime four boys came crashing into the room and plopped themselves into desks.
Rowen was in shock. NO! His mind screamed. It's not possible. Please, don't let this be possible. But there was no denying it. The four students that had just run in were his child hood friends. He hadn't seen them in almost four years, and though they had changed slightly in appearance. there was no denying they were his friends.. Sage, Ryo, Kento, and Cye.
Why now?!? He screamed to himself. Why now?!? What was he to do? Would they recognize him, sure he had changed over the years, but it wasn't every day that you met someone with blue hair. His parents had clearly told him that he was to have no friends. What was he to do? They had been through so much together, he considered them more of brothers than friends, and he knew without a doubt that they felt the same. What was he to do?
The teacher looked at the almost late individuals with a raised eyebrow. "Cutting it close, aren't we gentlemen?" A slow blush crossed each of the four individuals faces. "Let's just try to not cut it as close again." He suggested than quickly went on to other matters. "Well class, we have a new student to welcome to our school, he's originally from Japan, but awhile back moved to the United States. Class, please extend your welcome to Rowen Hashiba."
Cye, Kento, Ryo, and Sage all let out a gasp as they turned to see the man who was now standing.
This was it. ". please extend your welcome to Rowen Hashiba." Rowen could already feel his heart breaking at what he planed to do. As he rose he tried to ignore the gasp that had simultaneously escaped from four students.
"Hello" Rowen simply said as he allowed a mask of no emotion be placed on his face as he casually glanced around the room, not even batting an eye when his eyes crossed paths with each of his friends. He held back the wince as he saw the flash of hurt cross upon his friends' faces. Yet still even though his heart broke a little more with each second, he emotionlessly returned to his seats, not even acknowledging his friends. All heads once again returned to the teacher as he began to teach the day's lesson. Once all eyes were again off of Rowen he could not hold back the tear that slipped past his defenses and down his cheek.
Jay Sorry, I had wanted to make this chapter longer before putting it out, but its taking to long so I just put this out, and I hope the next will come soon. Flame Poor thing, she really is trying to get this out as soon as possible. stupid work. gonna overwork my little Jay. Jay... since when did you become protective???? Anyways... To all of those who reviewed saying you couldn't believe how cruel his parents are.. I know, I guess I have a sadistic side to me or something. But honestly, this is a horrible thing for parent's to do, and I'm not like condoning it or anything, I just think it makes a good plot.. T. G... thanks for the father's name, but the only problem is I have been using the American names, because they are the one's I'm most familiar with. Sorry... I actually like the Japanese names much better, but I don't know who I will be putting into this story and don't want to have to worry about getting the name wrong. To anyone else. Thanks so much, I'm glad you like my story, and I hope you will continue to like it. Flame That's it for now, she has to go to work. darn managers.. My poor little Jay. Jay.. O_o
