This is really long on my standards... lol. I hope you enjoy!!
Anna ungracefully tumbled into her classroom, panting heavily. Luckily for her, the teacher wasn't in and all her classmates were engaged in deep conversation; not even half the class had noticed her bizzare entrance. Straightening up, she looked around the classroom for any familiar faces and was rewarded by a sly grin from a dark-brown haired boy. Smiling, she made her way over.
Hao smiled from his seat at his girlfriend which slowly faded when he started to take in her appearance. It was totally gone by the time she had reached him. Puzzled by his glower, she probed. "What's wrong?" Hao only ran his eyes up and down her form and Anna squirmed. Looking down, she blushed. Her skirt was ruffled and her shirt was wrinkled, the top 3 buttons undone. Feeling her head, she realized that her hair was very messy and eyes widening, she finally got the grasp of what it might look like to others.
"Hao, it's not what it looks like." Anna bit her lips. Hao raised an eyebrow. Anna looked sheepish. "I ran all the way here. I woke up late." Hao seemed to ponder this a moment before breaking out into a grin. Grabbing Anna's hand, he pulled her down into his lap. "I was just worried..." he murmured. "It's not everyday a person so beautiful walks down the street in plain view." Anna blushed. "Enough." she said playfully and slid off his lap to sit on her own chair. A mocking wounded look crossed Hao's flawless face and Anna couldn't help but smile.
BANG! The class suddenly fell silent as the door slammed open and the teacher strode in. "Good Morning Class..." The teacher said in his flat and boring voice. Anna sat up attentively while Hao sunk down in his seat, sulking. The teacher stopped at his desk, slammed his briefcase down and looked around suspiciously. "I see everyones here..." he began, as the class silently groaned. The teacher took a deep breath, a sure sign that he would start his lecture. "He does this every year." Hao muttered under his breath, glaring at the senior at the front of the room. Anna could only giggle.
"UHHHH... We have a NEW student... JOINING us." The teacher began, talking slowly to the class as if they might not understand. For all they knew, the teacher firmly believed that every one of them would grow up to be criminals and be sent to jail. This thought was pushed far back into everyone's minds as they took in what the teacher had said. A fat boy in the back raised his hand and began speaking. "Does this mean you wont lecture us this time?" he asked hopefully. The teacher's half-lidded eyes flickered to the bulging form of the boy. "No." he said and closed his eyes, rubbing his temples. "ANYWAYS..." The teacher paused and signaled to some one stading before the doorway. A few of the teenagers in the first row leaned out of their chairs to catch a glimpse of the new student. Anna drummed her fingers on her desk in anticipation. Hao only yawned.
"COME IN..." The teacher droned. Everyone looked up. A tall boy with dark-brown longish hair stepped in. Anna gasped. Yoh's in my class... The boy's gaze flickered to where Anna was sitting and Yoh gave her a slight smile. Almost instantly, whispers were heard going around the room. Anna strained her ears. "He's cute..." "Do you suppose he's single?" After catching a few whispers here and there, she rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair. Hao, hearing the whispers looked up to see his competetor and his eyes widened in shock. Anna, in all her excitment, did not notice the furious expression on Hao's face.
Anna stared at the boy some more then gasped. Hao. THAT'S who he looks like! I DID think he looked familiar... I wonder if they're related. Eagerly, she waited for the Yoh to introduce himself.
Yoh gave the class one of his famous lazy grins, the girls in the class swooning. "Hello, my name is Yoh," Anna wiggled in her seat. Yoh,,, Yoh WHAT? A look of hesitation briefly flickered in Yoh's eyes but then he quickly recovered, smiling at the class once more. "My name is Yoh Akasaka. Nice to meet you."
Hao stared at Yoh in disbelief. Akasaka? He thought sardonically. Glaring at the boy who looked so much like him at the front, he clenched his fist. A sudden prod brought him out of his reverie and he looked to his right in annoyance. "Did he say Asakura or Akasaka?" Anna asked, looking excited. Hao counted to ten and took a deep breath to calm himself down before he answered. Putting on a smile, he playfully pinched Anna's cheek. Anna imaptiently brushed his hand away. "What did he say?" she probed. Hao muttered in annoyance before murmuring, "Akasaka." Anna blinked then a look of disappointment came across her features. "Oh... I thought he was related to you... You guys look so much alike." Hao winced then shrugged. Shrugging lamely in return, Anna turned back to the front.
"Yoh Akasaka..." The teacher scanned the desks in the room. "You may go sit down next tooooo..." he finally caught glimpse of an empty seat next to Anna. "Anna Kyouyama, raise your hand please." Smiling in pleasure, Anna raised her hand. Grinning, Yoh strode over to where Anna was and plopped down on his seat. Anna turned to face him and Yoh held out a hand. "Nice to meet you." he said good-naturedly. Anna nodded happily then tapped Hao on her other side. "Yoh, this is Hao, my boyfriend."
At the name "Hao", Yoh's eyes hardened and he restrained himself from changing his expression as Hao leaned forward to look at Yoh. "Nice to meet you." Yoh said, his tone a bit cooler, then smirked. Hao looked as furious as he felt inside. It just felt good to know that he was able to make Hao feel like that.
Anna's gaze flickered from the expression on Hao's face to Yoh's and sighed, rolling her eyes. I hope I'm not getting in the way of their 'off to a good start' relationship... Little did she know that there was more to Yoh than she could ever have dreamed of. The upcoming year would be hard for her.
Review, Please?
