Da Capo (From the Beginning) -Meeko Melodie
Meeko: [sigh] Feeling so crappy these days because of stuff happening and all. But. . . I'll still update because summer is here!!! Yea! Chapter 6: First Morning
"Today is the day," Izumi thought in her bed, as sunlight brightened up the room on a Monday morning. It was the first day of school and a brand new day for Izumi for she was excited to go to her classes. . .in a way.
She walked past the still sleeping Elli and into the washroom to freshen up herself. She put on her school uniform, which consisted of a white shirt, a navy blue tie and a navy blue skirt to match. With extra care, she tipped toed out of the room. She wanted sometime by herself in the quietness before her first day of school start. And before she saw Kouji again.
"But maybe I can stop thinking about him," Izumi told herself, "and treat him as a friend. . . or something." But the more she thought about it, the more it didn't make sense.
"I can't do it," Izumi thought, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk. She couldn't convince herself to just treat Kouji as a normal friend, just as a friend. She tried to forget about him, but she couldn't do it. She had over three years to do it but she failed to do so.Yet, now that she had thought about it, she could've had a chance to get back together with Kouji before he headed towards to England. But she lost her only chance. Her only chance to be together with the one she loved and she regretted that. It seemed that it was too late now.Walking down the sidewalk, the school bell unexpectedly rang and in response, Izumi ran back to her dormitory, thinking she was late with the whole matter still stuck in her brain. But she forgot that it was only the first bell, meaning that the purpose was to wake up the students.At the boy's dorm. . .
"Yo, man, wake up," Kouji shouted to his roommate, whom was still half asleep on the bed with only five minutes to wash up before breakfast. It was easy for Kouji to wake up, however, because he practically did not sleep for the whole night. The shock of meeting Izumi again had passed away and now, the only thing that troubled Kouji was the fact that Izumi was trying to run away from him. He still couldn't figure out why Izumi wanted to get away from him though, that's what he was thinking about the whole night, unable to sleep. But that problem had to wait until later. Right now, he even had trouble calling his roommate up. Decided to attempt one last time, Kouji picked up his own pillow and hit the bundle on the bed, which was supposedly Ryo. With that done, he ran down the stairs to the cafeteria for breakfast, only that he had no idea where it was.
But that problem was solved almost immediately as numerous of boys and girls from different dorms up and down the avenue walked up to a building quickly. Kouji followed the crowd and found himself in the cafeteria, which other students called the dining room. In a way it was true because they ate three meals a day in this building.Lining up to get his food, Kouji heard some commotion from behind the line. He looked back and saw, with amusement, Ryo fighting his way towards him.
"Good morning," Ryo announced as he placed himself behind Kouji, despite of the other student's protests."Well, aren't you early today?" Kouji instead, replied, while picking up a carton of milk and two pieces of toasts.Ryo decided to ignore his friend's sarcastic remark and picked up a glass of grapefruit juice and a waffle to put on his plate. They sat themselves in the grade twelve table where the other grade twelve students were enjoying their food."So," Ryo started between mouthfuls of waffle, "did you sleep well last night?"
"I swear to God," Kouji stated, drinking his milk, "you sound like my mother."
"I hope that wasn't an insult," Ryo cocked his eyebrow.
"No, it was a compliment," Kouji replied sarcastically.
"Gee, thanks," Ryo answered, "the jetlag got you, didn't it? Stormy mood. . ." He examined Kouji's expression.
"I guess," Kouji didn't have the mood to argue as he continued to gulp down his breakfast.
"Or maybe it was girlfriend problems," Ryo suggested, still chewing his waffles. Kouji turned his head so abruptly it almost broke his neck. He knew he made too big of an action and pretended to return to his food, but Ryo knew something was wrong. But just as he was about to ask, someone unexpected came to their sights, to Ryo's delight.
"Ryuko," Ryo called out. Ryuko turned and to her horror, saw Ryo waving at her in a frantic way of his.
"Erm. . ." Ryuko was embarrassed to be called out in the public, especially by Ryo the perv," hi." She managed to say."Hi," Ryo said cheerfully, "lovely day." Kouji, sitting beside Ryo, rolled his eyes."Oh shit," following his nature, we could now see that Ryo was glancing down to God-knows-where, "that skirt on Ryuko simply kills me." Ryo found himself thinking. Ryuko, somehow sensing that Ryo was doing you- know-what, blushed lightly and started to walk away. But too late, Ryo's uncontrollable urge had already took actions and the result, you guessed it."Stupid bastard," Kouji addressed to Ryo," if you don't treat her nicely and respect her, she's never going to fall for you.""Ryuko is so going to be mine," Ryo stated simply, finishing his waffle and was now starting on his grapefruit juice.
"Yea, keep dreaming," Kouji laughed.
"You'll see," Ryo added persuasively and he drank his juice.
"Fuck," Ryo mutter out one second later after the juice went down his throat. He almost spit the whole mouthful out again with a few drops down his chin.
Kouji lifted his eyebrows."Those grapefruit juice was so fucking sour," Ryo spitted out, screwing up his face.
Meeko: I know that was a really dumb ending for this chapter but it's midnight, ladies and gentlemen and I've finally finished chapter six, so you people must be happy, right? [hopeful]
