Generation Y
Chapter 2 » F4
Ikina Misao stared at the window separating her from freedom. The teacher was just too boring. She wished she was still in Eirin, where they certainly had more interesting and exciting teachers and students. Here in Eitoku, all that matters was whether one had a Gucci bag or a Prada. Nobody was interested in studies. The teachers seem to know that, infact, they seemed to have given up and just continued teaching to invisible air.
Misao yawned. She suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from her left leg. Her best friend from Elementary School, Kori Nikkie, kicked her in the shin. Although no one was really paying attention, they always seemed to be amused whenever someone yawns. It was a sure attention grabber in Eitoku. Misao could feel her face turning red. It was just too embarrassing to be caught yawning on the first day of school. When everyone settled down to do their own things again, Misao scanned the classroom for no apparent reason.
Gyahh! She thought. Why is that guy staring at me like that? He's pretty cute though. Oh shit! Now I'm turning into a love at first sight freak. Stop it!!! I'd better look away.
Misao found it hard to look away from his eyes though. They felt so cold, so, faraway… like… he put some sort of protective spell around it, preventing anyone from entering them. Misao shook her head. It was nearly end of school now. She couldn't wait to leave this dreaded classroom. 4 more years in Eitoku. If only she had stood up against her parents and request them to send her back to Eirin.
RING!!!!!!!!
"Finally! Now I can check out those cute guys in the school!" Kori Nikkie shouted gleefully to Misao. Nikkie was a well-known flirt. But due to those tremendous acting skills of hers, one could only distinguish her real self if they knew her.
"Hey Misao! Heard about F4? They are the leaders of the school. Years ago, there were another group of F4 in Eitoku. Rumor has it that this new F4 group are somehow related to the previous ones." Nikkie rambled excitedly.
"F4? Leaders of the school? Hey, you know April Fool's is over right?" Misao shot back, unaware of the power of F4.
"April Fool? I'm not joking! F4 is made up of the 4 richest and most handsome guys in the school! There's Taiken Takizawa, Hitori Nishirou, Shono Ryuki and Hatakaru Saota!!! Every girl would definitely dream to just talk to the F4 for 1 second! Oh wait, hold on a sec, got a phone call." Nikkie pulled out her brand new Nokia phone.
"Hello?"
"Nikkie! It's me! Yuii! I'm also in Eitoku in case you've forgotten! Is Misao beside you?" said the caller.
"Hey Yuii! Yah, Misao's beside me. And no, I haven't forgotten you're in Eitoku. Have you met F4 yet?"
"No, not yet. I've got red alert news though. F4's currently in the school special café! I'm rushing there now! See you and Misao over there asap! Ciao!"
Mino Yuii ended her call. There were many guys and girls staring at her. Not many have a seen a mixed blood in this school. And not many certainly saw mix between Hawaiian and Japanese yet. Yuii's exotic looks have allowed her to become a part time super model at the Hanazawa Model Agency.
Yuii slipped her canvas bag over her shoulders and took off for the café. Eitoku was a very special school. Not only do they have air-conditioned cafeterias, they also have special cafes limited to people with connections or are just special, like the teachers' pet.
Yuii's entry ticket happened to be her part time super model career and the fact that she's family with the Ikina Family. The Ikinas are a well-known family in the business world. They are one of the top 20 richest family in Japan.
Yuii entered the café and immediately saw the F4. It felt like a dream come true for her. They were really good looking…
"Oh Misao! You are so slow! Hurry up. I want to go to the café now!" Nikkie complained.
Misao looked amusingly at her friend. Nikkie never looked more impatient. "Where's the fire? Was it Yuii who called you just now? What did she say?"
"Arghh! Just pack up and follow me! I'll explain along the way! Hurry! Just like a tortoise! Come on, we don't have all day!" Nikkie scratched her head in anger.
"Ok ok! Sheesh! What's gotten into you?" Misao slung her Converse bag around her. Before she could even stand up stablely, Nikkie had already clutched her hand and ran towards the café.
At the café"We are the Koris and the Ikinas. Please let us in." Nikkie said calmly to the waiter standing at the podium in front of the café.
Misao and Nikkie headed in to meet Yuii.
Oh.. Misao thought as her heart started thumping. What's he doing here? Is he one of the top 20s too?
"Misao! You listening? I was saying those are the F4s! They are so good looking. I must be dreaming." Nikkie said dreamily while staring at the F4.
"F4… What! F4! You mean he's an F4?!" Misao said, ignoring the fact that everyone was staring at her now.
"Ooh… good choice. He's Hatakaru Saota. Heir to the Saota Corporation. He would be a perfect guy if he's eyes weren't so cold looking." Yuii said.
Misao sipped her smoothie silently. She hadn't even realized her friends got her that smoothie. She was thinking far too much about Hatakaru Saota and her discovery about him being a F4.
"Hey Takizawa. Those girls are talking about us again. Can't they stop it? It's annoying. Not like we wanted to be F4 so much. Or be blessed with such good looks. We should blame your cousin Tsukasa Doumyouji for asking us to continue F4's legacy." Shono Ryuki said. He casually glanced over to look at Misao.
"But the weirdo who just shouted looks cute. I think she looks familiar. Where have I seen her before?" Ryuki continued.
"Ikina Misao. Daughter of Ikina Len from the Ikina Corporation. Taiken Corp had a short business merger with Ikina Corp before. I met her at the gathering then. She looked so small at that time. Wonder how long has it been…" Taiken Takizawa replied instantly, almost like getting information from a computer.
"Oh. The Ikinas. Nishirou, Saota, won't you guys talk? F4 number 1 had a weird Hanazawa Rui that won't talk. Now F4 number 2 have two members who won't talk?" Ryuki sighed.
"They can't help it. After all, they ARE related to Hanazawa Rui you know. They must have I-refuse-to-talk-to-people blood in them." Joked Takizawa.
He glanced over at Misao and her friends again. She's laughing He thought. So different from when I last saw her a few years back.
Flashback"Hey Taiken Tendae! This is my family. Meet Utara my wife, and my little precious angel, Misao." Ikina Len beamed at his new business partner.
"Good to see you can make it Len. Nice family you have there. Meet mine. Wife, Ishina, and son, Takizawa." Said Tendae with as much pride as Len.
"Hi Misao, my name is Takizawa." Young Takizawa said with a smile. He had never seen such a pretty little girl.
"*sniff* *sniff*" Young Misao whimpered. She didn't feel like talking to anybody. She has always hated the crowd and was angry with her parents for bringing her here. She would rather have stayed at home at watched cartoons.
End of Flashback
"Takizawa! You dreaming too? I really give up. We have three weird members now. I'm outnumbered. Guess I would have to introduce myself to the girls there. That way, we will have more normals than weirdoes." Joked Ryuki. That was one of his many innovative ways to get a excuse to speak to women.
