DON'T BE FOOLEDPart 3
"You'll be having a new student starting today. Please come in," says the principal.
The door slides open and a young girl, of medium height and blond hair, comes in. She bows and greets the class. "Konnichiwa." She only has the time to say that before the principal cuts her off.
"Come on in, the rest of you." He looks at the rest of the students and sees blank faces on all of them. "Oh…did I forget to mention that you'll have several students transferring into this class? Hm, guess I forgot. Well? The rest of you, come on in."
Four more girls walk in. All bow and greet the class. Before leaving, the principal decides to add one more thing. "I'm sure you know that it's extremely rare for so many people to transfer at the same time and into the same class. But these girls are an exception. There really isn't any other place to put them because each of them scored nearly perfect on the exams. It wouldn't be much challenge if they were in a different class. I'm sure you'll all treat them with the same respect you treat yourselves. I must be going now; I have a lot of work to do. Have a nice day," and with that he promptly leaves the room.
"Well girls," says Haruna-sensei. "Why don't you find a seat?" Immediately the girls sat down, a little bit scattered all over the room and class continues as if it had never been interrupted.
----
As the bell rings, signaling the start of the lunch break, the girls get up and walk quietly through the door and out. They all walk together, always in silence, to a cherry tree in the far corner of the school's courtyard. They sit in a circle and start to eat lunch without ever saying anything.
A few minutes later, they see some shadows above them and in the middle of the circle. Looking up, they see a group of guys smiling at them.
"Yes?" asks the brunette in the group.
"Hi!" greets Nozomi. "I'm Nozomi and these guys are Akira, Jiro, Kentarou, Zen and Mamoru. Would you mind if we ate lunch with you?"
The girls look at each other, as if consulting silently through the look of their eyes, making the guys feel a bit uncomfortable. In the end, the girl with the short blue hair answered them.
"Sure…" she makes a small gesture, telling them to sit down and the girls shifted their positions into a semi-circle. The guys just fill the other half.
"So," starts Zen. "What school do you come from?"
The brunette answers. "Sakura Gakuen."
'Well that was short and curt,' thinks Jiro. "That's an all girls school, right?"
"Yes," says the girl with the long straight black hair.
"So why did you all transfer? Obviously you know each other and are from the same school since you're all together…and you all seem quite close," asks Kentarou.
The blond smiles and just as she was about to say something, the previous girl cuts her off, saying, "It's really none of your business." This causes the rest to look ather warily and her giving them a "what?" look.
"True," says Akira. And just as he opens his mouth to say something, a thundering noise makes itself resound in the air around them. They all look at the source, and see a sheepish looking Jiro turning red.
"What?! I haven't eaten anything since this morning, ya know!!"
Everyone just look at each other, and surprisingly enough the black haired girl with the attitude problem starts to laugh a little. And slowly the others follow until all of them, girls and guys (with the exception of Jiro), were laughing quite hard.
"If you're so hungry, then why don't you eat? Wasn't that what you guys were here to do in the first place?" asks the same girl who started to laugh, while taking a small bite from her squid.
"Well, yeah…but we also wanted to know you girls a bit more because you were all so quiet and what not…we thought that maybe if you knew people from class, that maybe you'd lighten up or something…and not look so…serious?" half-asks, half-says Jiro.
"We'll be fine," says the one girl who has yet to speak. "We just tend to be quiet and observant, for the lack of a better word, when we're around new people. Don't worry too much. But it's quite nice to know that you care to make us feel comfortable in a new environment." She smiles softly and looks at the other girls, who all smile back.
"Not to be rude or anything, but I just realized something, uh…a tiny tinny little detail that's missing…or at least missing for me…" says Zen.
"Oh? And what's that?" asks the shorthaired girl.
"I forgot your names…" he answers while looking down and heat starting to rise to his face.
"Guess we really should introduce ourselves…especially since, like you said earlier Jiro-kun, we didn't really say much. Guess I'll start first. My name is KinoMakoto."
"I'm Mizuno Ami." The shorthaired girl nods a bit.
"Hino Rei."
"I'm Aino Minako," says the blond.
"And I'm Tsukino-" just as the last girl is about to say her name, a group of girls approach the group and start calling out to the guys.
"Hey guys, do you want to spend the rest of the lunch period with us? We're going to the fields and just sit and talk," asks one girl who's trying desperately to be "seductive", although failing miserably and looking like she's having a seizure.
"No thanks," says Mamoru. "We're good. You girls go ahead."
Seeing as their attempt to get the guys away from the girls failed, the group glares at the sitting girls and start to whisper amongst themselves (about them) while leaving.
The guys sigh. "Sorry about that," says Mamoru. "Continue on with what you were saying." He gives the last girl a small smile.
Sigh. "We're never going to get away from those things, are we?" asks Ami.
Another sigh. "Guess we're doomed," says Makoto.
"What do you mean?" asks Nozomi.
"You saw what just happened, right?" asks Minako. At the nod of the guys' heads, she continues. "Well…we were partially trying to get away from that from our old school. I know what you're going to say. "But it's an all girls school…." The thing is, there's also an all boys school right across from Sakura Gakuen and apparently none of the girls at our school could get a date with the guys because we "stole" them away from the girls." She emphasizes on the last part by making the quotation marks with her hands. Then she adds as an afterthought, "we never even paid attention to them, other than Motoki, but that's because he's my brother."
"Are you serious?" asks Kentarou. "I mean, I can see why. You girls are all really pretty."
Minako looks at him, raising an eyebrow. "Really? I'll take that as a compliment." Once he realized his slip, he blushes.
"Anyways, how about we eat?" asks Jiro…right before his stomach rumbles again.
"Haha…good idea Jiro…and I can tell you definitely need to," says Zen, as he eats a mouthful of rice. They all start talking, learning a little bit more about each other until…
"By the way, Tsukino-san, what's your first name? You weren't able to tell us that because we got interrupted," asks Mamoru, looking at the girl, who smiles.
"Tsukino Luna."
(Should I stop?? I guess I owe you all a longer chapter…so continue I will )
----
A few weeks pass by, and all's the same. Wake up, go to class, go home, do homework and go to sleep. Then wake up the next morning and the ritual starts allover again. But there's something different today…all the girls got up with a strange feeling.
As the girls walk to the fountain where they usually meet the guys, they all stay silent; not one saying a word, each thinking of what could possibly happen on this day.
The guys look at the girls, and wonder what's going on. Where was their usual greeting? Looks like they're not used to being ignored…
"Good morning girls," says Jiro…with a small pout.
The girls just mumble a small 'good morning' in reply. Now the guys are worried. They haven't acted like this since their first day here.
"Is something wrong?" asks Kentarou.
"Huh? Oh no…well, at least we don't think so," says Minako.
"Then what's with the long faces?" asks Zen.
"Do you guys believe in premonitions?" asks Ami.
"Uh…you mean…something like getting a feeling where something is going to happen?" asks Nozomi.
"Yeah…" answers Makoto.
"Well…yeah…actually we do. It doesn't happen to us often, but when it does…we usually go with what we're feeling. Why? Is something wrong?" asks Akira.
"Well…" starts Rei. "We've all been having this strange feeling since the moment we woke up…like something's going to happen today…something important, but…we just can't figure out what."
"I don't know why, but for some reason my mind keeps conjuring up…a breeze? I don't know how to say it, but…No…it's more like a melody. It's something really familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it," says Luna, frowning.
"I know what you mean, Luna. It's definitely something that I associate with my childhood…but it keeps slipping through my fingers," continues Ami.
The guys just look at each other. They don't know what to say…that is if they can even say anything at all.
"Hm…that's odd. We can't really help you there. But if there's anything we can do, just let us know, alright?" says Mamoru. As the girls nod, he checks his watch. "Anyhow, we had better get to class…bell's going to ring soon." With that they all make their way into the building.
As they walk into the class, everything seems normal. They all walk in together and split into two groups; one gets surrounded by girls, while the other by guys. And of course, the other girls in the class start saying bad things about the girls…they haven't gotten over the fact that the guys pay more attention to the 'new' girls then the rest of them.
Suddenly Haruna-sensei walks in and right away, everyone takes his or her seat.
"Good morning everyone. As I'm sure you were all surprised to get new students here less than a month ago. Well, looks like we'll be getting another one. I'm sure you're all thinking that it's getting crowded in here, but this student is an exception. Her being here was an executive decision, and I really do hope that you all treat her with respect." As the students nod, Haruna-sensei looks at the door. "Come on in."
The door slides open, and a girl with her head bent steps in. Standing next to the teacher, she lifts up her face and says, "Konnichiwa. Tsukino desu." At that, the five girls who transferred earlier look at the new student with wide eyes full of disbelief.
'Is it really…?' the girls think.
Ok…this chapter is done…
Sorry it took so long…I've just been really REALLY busy with school work and stuff…gah, university is different from high school…I never really knew how to study so I'm suffering for it now .
I'll try to get another chapter up and hopefully it won't take another year…
Kommawoyo!!!
