"Morning Misao!" Misao was hearing that line for what seemed the hundredth
time that morning. She was feeling a little tired and was not in the mood
to talk to people so she just said good morning and continued making her
way towards her locker. When she had taken her books out of it she went
over to a couple of girls who were chattering in a corner. When she joined
them she was greeted by a girl with long black hair worn in a ponytail.
"Hi Misao!" She exclaimed in a cheery mood.
"Ohayoo Kaoru!" Misao said and joined in the group of six girls. Misao seemed like the odd one out, she wore baggy pants and a large sweater while the other girls wore tight shirts and jeans. Most of them looked at her as if she was abnormal but Kaoru didn't mind her being 'different' at all. They always were around each other and talked about anything that could be talked about. Though most of the time they were talking about Kenshin. He was in the last year, one year higher then them, and Kaoru had had a crush on him from the first time she met him. It had been the first day of school and everyone was nervous. Somehow Kaoru had lost the rest of her class and was panicking. She had run right into him and fallen to the floor.
"Oro."She heard him bring out.
Embarrassed at first she didn't look up at him, but when she did he was looking at her with a smile on his face. "Are you ok miss." The red haired boy had asked while helping her up.
"Kaoru." She had answered, slightly blushing.
"What are you doing here all by yourself? Shouldn't you be in class?" He had asked wondering why a girl like her was all on her own.
"Well I'm new here and I lost my class.I'm taking math now." She had replied silently, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'll show you the way, I have to go in the same direction anyway." He said to her, the smile still plastered on his face.
"Kaoru!" Misao yelled.
"Nani?!" Kaoru said and looked at Misao surprised.
"You were daydreaming Kaoru. Betcha you were thinking about Himura again." Misao teased.
"N-no I wasn't!" Kaoru felt her face getting redder and tried to hide it, Misao just grinned. Then she let out a sigh and started to walk away towards her classroom, this was going to be a long, tiring day.
It was still ten minutes till lunch break and Misao was staring absent mindly through the window. Economics was about the most boring lesson she had, and most of her class thought about it the same way. The teacher just read from their books and he had a very annoying voice. Kaoru, who was sitting next to Misao, had laid her head on her arms and was almost asleep. Misao was looking at the street and wished the day was over already. She watched people passing by, them having the day of, work at night or not having work at all.
Then her eye caught a person who was walking slowly towards the school. She could not see his face but she could tell he was quite big and he wore a long coat. She kept observing him and after a few moments it seemed like he was looking straight at her. Misao turned her head immediately and wondered what he was doing here. The chance he had seen her was ridiculously small, but Misao felt as if he had seen her anyway. When she looked outside again he was already walking away and she let out a sigh of relief. She decided to just forget the matter and said to herself it was probably a coincidence.
When the bell finally rung they all got out of the room as soon as possible and headed for the cafeteria.
Misao groaned as she saw the long line of people waiting to get their food. She heard Kaoru make the same noise behind her and she turned around.
"Hey Kaoru! Where were you heading of to so fast? I waited for you outside, but they told me you were already gone." Misao questioned her friend.
"Nothing of importance, I needed to see someone before I came here." Kaoru said casually, but Misao knew that Kenshin had PE before lunch on Friday and that many guys, after taking a shower, were still dressing themselves when they left the gym.
Misao didn't bother the poor girl as she usually did when the subject 'Kenshin' was brought up; she had other things on her mind. Misao was still thinking about the guy that had been standing outside the school, she was wondering what he had been doing there.
While the line shrunk Misao and Kaoru had a little talk about the upcoming skate competition Misao and her friends would participate in.
When it was finally their turn Misao let out a curse.
"Kuso! I already had pizza yesterday!" She sighed and took only one slice. Then she sat at a table where some of Kaoru's friends, including Megumi, were seated. Misao didn't really like Megumi, she was a very popular girl and rumours about her spread quickly. Misao didn't have the feeling Megumi liked her, but Kaoru sometimes told her she was wrong about that.
Misao didn't really care; she had enough friends, at school and outside of it. At school she was with Kaoru most of the time, and sometimes with Sanosuke, Yahiko and their friends.
Outside the school she was skating with Sanosuke, Yahiko and Katsu or she was doing other stuff with Okon, Omasu, Shiro and Kuro. They had been her friends for a very long time, but were going to another school now.
When all of them were finished they went outside and did what they did most: talk. Misao didn't join them though, but went towards the school gate.
What could he have been looking for?
"Misao?" Misao turned around brusquely when hearing her name, but let out a sigh when she saw her best friend.
"Kaoru! You scared me!" She said and saw the questioning look on her face. "What are you doing here?" Kaoru had no idea why Misao would just go away from the others without a reason. If she wanted to be alone because she had problems she always told her.
"I was just. See when we were taking economics I saw a guy standing here, then he seemed to be looking straight at me. I thought it was weird so I came here to see what he could've been looking for." Misao explained her best friend.
"Oh." Kaoru mouthed. "So, why the interest?" She then added, a wide grin appearing on her face. Misao knew what she was thinking immediately.
"Oh no! No no! He was standing here, I was way over there." She pointed to one of the windows on the second floor. "I couldn't even see what he looked like!"
Kaoru kept her mouth shut but had her own thoughts about the whole situation.
They stood there for a moment until a voice called out to them.
"Hey weasel, raccoon! What's going on over there?"
Kaoru fisted her hand and was ready to beat up Yahiko, but Misao stopped her, not wanting the boy to get hurt.
"If he ever calls me raccoon again, I swear he won't get away with it that easily!" Her face reddened and Misao couldn't help but laugh. Together they walked to the next class and prepared for another 4 hours listening to boring teachers.
"Hi Misao!" She exclaimed in a cheery mood.
"Ohayoo Kaoru!" Misao said and joined in the group of six girls. Misao seemed like the odd one out, she wore baggy pants and a large sweater while the other girls wore tight shirts and jeans.
