DAY'S LIKE THIS

Chapter 1:Ruined or Not

It was a fine day to take a nap at the school's park for Phil. He was about lie down on a bench when an Asian girl with dark brown hair, green eyes and fair skin went rushing to it to fix her stuff. She is wearing a black hanging shirt, a red jacket, loss light brown pants and a Skechers rubber shoes. "Darn! I left my charcoal pencil at home…" she mutters. Phil was left standing beside the bench, waiting for the Asian girl to leave "his" bench, as he taps his foot.

"Excuse me; I think you should leave this bench. I was about to have my private moment here with Mother Nature" Phil said insolently. The Asian girl looks at Phil and gave him an exasperated look. "Oh, I'm sorry…ah what's you name?" she asked. "Phil" the infuriated boy answers. "Phil, I will leave this bench if I want to! Don't act as if you own this bench. Does it have your name on it? It doesn't have Phil written all over it, does it?" she said in an Asian accent while looking around the bench.

"Actually, it has...your sitting on it!" Phil said as he points his name. The girl started fuming "Why doesn't this school have strict policies especially in vandalism?" she shouts. "Well, there is no such thing as perfect school you know" Phil answered. "Well in my country we have" she mutters back. The school's bell started ringing and breaks the intense stare between the two. "Well, welcome to America" Phil smiles then immediately left for class. "Baka" the girl snorts and carries her bag then left for class. "Darn, where is class 2-B?" the girl runs on the hallway in circles.

As she passes to the locker area she didn't notice a locker flung open. Her head immediately hits on the lockers door that made her slip down. "Itai" she said while touching her forehead. "Are you okay?" and purple head guy asked. "Yah" she answers painfully. "Sorry I didn't notice you were coming" the guy felt bad about it and give the girl a hand up. At least his not like that 'Manuke' guy awhile ago she thought as she accepted his hand.

"Hi, you must be new here by the way my name is Thomas Luis Pickles. But I hate people calling me that…" he was immediately cut off by the girl. "So why are you giving me that name?" she asked confusingly. "Hehe…you can call me Tommy instead" he laughs back. "My name by the way is Maikki Yu. Nice to meet you" Maikki smiles.

"Are you a new student?" Tommy asked as he takes out his book. "Yup…anyways I was looking for class 2-B. Do you know where it is?" she asked. "I also came form this class. I was about to go there. Want to come along?" he asked. "Sure, my feet are killing me" she jokes. They walk together to 2-B "Move here" Tommy said as he opens the door. A bucket of water suddenly falls on top of them. "How did…" she was cut-off by a teacher who went next to her.

"Everyone back to your sits" the teacher commands. "Darn, it was about to hit him. Why are you late anyways?" Phil asked Tommy as they both went to their sits. "I run at somebody" he smirks. "Everyone, I want you to meet Maikki Yu an exchange student in Japan she is a half Japanese half Korean" teacher said next to him was a white Asian girl with long brown silky hair her eyes were so tiny and her height wasn't that tall nor short.

Phil saw the girl and glared at her. Maikki saw Phil and glared back. "You know her?" Tommy asked. "No…" Phil lied. "Good then that means I'm first" Tommy excitedly said. "What do you mean your first?" Phil asked confusingly. "Maikki, why don't you sit beside Phil De Ville the boy with the brown hair?" the teacher said. "Sure" she smiled then went towards her seat with a big frown.

"Hi, I'm Lilian De Ville and this is my twin brother Philip De Ville but you can just call us Lil and Phil" a girl who looks very like Phil greets. She was sitting in front of Phil and in front of her seat was also an Asian looking girl. "Hi, my name is Kimmi and beside me is my brother Chuckie" the girl said while pointing to a red head guy.

"My name is Maikki blah blah…" Phil mutters then looks away. "What's wrong with him?" Kimmi asked Lil. "I don't know, his your bro alright?" Kimmi answered. Everyone seems to be happy to have a new classmate except for one.

8:00 am

9:30 am (recess)

"Hey Maikki, I was wondering if you want to eat with us" Tommy invite her as she fixes her books. She was about to decline when she saw Phil but she seen his friends with a worrying look that she might say no. "Sure" she answered feeling it wasn't the right answer.

"Anyways Maikki I kinda like your sense of fashion. Is that the latest fashion in Asia?" Lil asked with interest. She was between Kimmi and Lil talking about clothes, guys and stuffs. As their group reaches to a table a blonde girl suddenly blocks them. "Hi ya rugrats! Did you look at the school's paper lately? If not, you'll be surprise" she winks. The girl suddenly felt someone else presences "Hi, you must be new here. Let me give you some tip 'if you still want to live a simple life don't hangout with this group'" she whispered then left. They immediately took a look in the school's paper and there we saw a baby picture. There were five babies only in their undies, playing in a mud pool.

"Hey Tommy! Nice diaper you're wearing" some unknown girls wink at him then left. "I wondered where that picture went" Phil said. "Talk about major humiliation" Lil slaps her forehead. "Oh! Someday that girl will get it!" Kimmi fumed. An orange head kid suddenly appeared behind us "Oh look the good old days when we were still abducted by aliens" the kid said. "This weird kid here is my younger bro…Dil" Tommy introduced. "So you must be thinking we might not give you a simple high school life huh?" Kimmi asked. "Neh! I always like adventures anyway" Maikki answered back. "Then that means we can get along smoothly" Tommy said then put his hand on Maikki's shoulder.

They all went up to their seats and to get their food Maikki and Phil was the only one left at the table. "It must be really hard for you making me part of your group" Maikki smirks. "Just don't get on my way" he glared then left the table. "Anata wa kawaii ano anata munke no baka" Maikki whispered then snorts. She didn't notice Kimmi was behind and over heard her. She giggled and didn't notice that Maikki saw her "Oh! Sorry" she blushes then left. "I'm so dead" Maikki slaps her forehead.

Later…

"You know I think you're a bit too rough with that Korean-Japanese girl" Kimmi whispered to Phil as they both walk towards their next class. "I am?" Phil said in a monotone way. "You must be jealous?" Phil jokes. "Ha! No matter what you do I won't get jealous because it's not you that, I like it is someone else" Kimmi said, not sure if it's the right word to say, as she enters the room. "Kimmi over here" they heard Tommy waving directly at them beside him was Maikki. They all went to their sits. "Welcome to your Algebra I! I am your teacher Ms. Mc Bryan blah…" the teacher said as she enters the room.

'It seems like years right? I wish her boring discussion end right now. Why do teacher have to share their boring world to us? - deville' Lil passes a note to Maikki, she looks at Lil and nodded. "And what is this?" the Ms. Mc Bryan quickly grabs the piece of paper to Maikki then read it "It seems like years right? I wish her boring discussion end right now. Why do teacher have to share their boring world to us? –deville" everyone started laughing. "De Villes! Stand up" the fuming teacher commanded. "Who wrote this…thing?" she furiously said. "It was I" Phil smoothly lied. "Algebra is really boring you know!" he continued. "It's detention for you young man! And I think we would have a smooth sem this year" Ms. Mc Bryan shouts. "Ma'am I think I should also go to detention because I accepted the passed note" Maikki exclaimed feeling guilty that Phil is going to take all the blame. "Your conscience must have pushed you. Okay then" Ms. Mc Bryan accepted. Maikki left the room.

"Hey Phil!" Maikki catch up to him. "Oh it's you…" Phil frowns. "Why did you take the blame? You know and I know you're innocent" she asked. "Why are you here? This is why I took all the blames" Phil shrugs then went towards detention. 'He is not so bad after all' she thought her self. Before she knew it Phil quickly close the door and made her head hit once again. 'Itai' she touches her forehead. 'That jerk!' she thought, she opened the door and glared to Phil who is sitting at the corner of the room. "I take back everything I said" she said her self. Phil puts his feet up to his chair and goofs off.

"Darn! First day, first detention…what next" she mumbles as she takes off her sketch pad and a pencil in her bag. She started drawing her first day life in school. "What's that?" Phil notices what she was doing. "It is called sketching" she answered proudly. "That is the ugliest master piece I have ever seen" Phil exclaimed. Maikki started fuming up. "I've seen kids who draw better than you" Phil teased. Maikki started controlling her temper. "I see that you don't understand art at all" she snobs and continued what she was doing. Phil started to smirk, enjoys teasing Maikki.

2 hrs Later…

"Hey sleepy saliva head, wake up" Phil started to pat Maikki's back hard. "Na..ni?" she rubs her eyes. "Whoa…What did you say?" Phil asked. "Oh…I dreamn't that I went back…oh its nothing" she frowns. "What ever, like I wanna know what you're dreaming..." Phil snorts out. "Well you asked!" Maikki shouts. "If you don't want to be locked up we should get moving now" Phil demanded. "Did I over slept?" Maikki asked. "Yup and my bus had left me. Now I have to walk home…what a day" Phil frowns as they walk out of the school.

"You could have left without me…" Maikki said then saw her bike was being destroyed. "What the…!" Maikki was in disbelief when she saw her bike wrecked. "Who is so mean to do this horrible thing!" she started shouting then words started to change into Korean and Japanese. "Calm down ok" Phil told her calmly. "You did this didn't you? You planned this because you don't like me! You planned that you won't take the bus and waited for every one to leave so you could wreck my bike, didn't you!" she screamed. "I didn't plan for it…I didn't take the bus because…I fell asleep too…the older years must have wreck it…you know how older teens bullies the younger ones" Phil calmly explained.

"Sorry…I guess I over reacted…" she smiled. "Don't worry I'll walk you home. I'll even help you carry your bike" Phil offered. "That is so kind of you" she said. "What are you talking about? There is nothing free in this world…you have to treat me" Phil smiled. "That's it! I don't need your help" she screamed. "That's okay with me" Phil smirked as he walks fast. Maikki stroll her bike as she walks home when one of the parts started to stroll down. "Wait…Phil…" she called a guy feet's away from her. "What?" Phil asks as he looks back. "I give up…I need your help" Maikki frowns. "I know you would" he turns around and walks back to Maikki to help her up.

"So…where will I treat you?" she asked the guy beside her. "I know a restaurant near here" Phil pulled the bike to another direction and pulls it away from the girl's tight grip. "A restaurant, I can't afford that!" she shouted but Phil was too far to be heard. She runs as fast as she could until she reached Phil who was standing in font of an old café shop. "Is this the restaurant you were talking about?" she asked. "Yup it is" he grabs her wrists and pulled her in. "Table for two Sir?" the waiter asked. Phil nodded and they were both escorted in a table with two chairs. "Menus, madam and mossier" said the waiter as he gave the menus to them. "What the..? Everything here is so…" Maikki was cut off by Phil. "Cheap right, I used to treat my friends here?" Phil said.

"I want a mozzarella sticks for appetizer, don't worry it is for two servings" he explained then continued. "A carbonara, mocha-loca frap, a strawberry shortcake for dessert and a hot espresso for decant" Phil finished. "Same here" Maikki smiled sheeply. "Ok your then" the waiter left. "We ordered for so many that I think it's over my budget" Maikki worries. "Don't worry, I calculated our order you only have to pay 5 buck for each of us" Phil smiled. "Good thing! Don't you ever worry that your parents might be looking for you?" she asked. The waiter started to serve their order. "I know they would…but I want to see their worried looks on their faces" he said while taking a big bite of the mozzarella stick. Maikki started to giggle. "Something on my mouth?" he asked. "Neh…I think your…hilarious. Intaidakimasu" she said then started to eat. Phil smirks then started eating.

While they were eating a man went beside them, not noticing the guy was reaching for Maikki's purse then quickly runs out of the coffee shop. When they were about to pay "Uh Phil…my wallet is missing" she whispered while searching for her wallet inside her bag. "What do you mean your wallet is missing?" Phil whispered back. "The guy must have taken it without me noticing" she exclaimed. "Your bill sir" the waiter gave the bill then waited for their payment. "You are really doing a good job…in waiting you know" Phil gave a joke and nervously laughs. "Uhem" the waiter cleared his throat losing his patience. Phil started looking in his wallet "I only got seven bucks" he started to worry. "Uhm…waiter…" Phil said.

"I can't believe I am washing dishes…hundreds of them for just 3 bucks" Maikki's eyes started to get watery. "Stop before you put salty water on the plates" Phil argued. "It's your entire fault" she grinds her teeth. "It's not my wallet that was stolen" Phil argued back. "Will the both of you stop" the chef commanded. "You can get into jail you know! It's a good thing that this young man here is our daily customer and told us the entire truth" he told Maikki. Phil stuck his tongue out. "Enough chit-chat and start working" the chef commanded.

After 2 hours of washing and wiping…

"My hands are wiggly and my bones are aching" Maikki cried. "Stop acting like baby" Phil ordered as they both walk going to their own homes. "Your body might be tired but your mouth is not" Phil muttered. "At least I'm not acting like an ice box here" she mutters back. "Well at least I'm not acting like a total lunatic" Phil argued back. "Uhm…waiter…I duh…kinda short you know" Maikki said sounding like a dummy. "You really wanna have it do you?" Phil glared. "Don't you ever care for girls?" Maikki asked. "No" he answered straightly. "I pity your twin sister…"she said slyly. They started arguing on the way.

"Here's my stop" Maikki hissed as she grabs her bike from Phil grip. "Thanks" Phil whine back. Maikki walks toward the door of her house. (N/A: more like a mansion)

"What a spoiled brat…no wonder she's rich" Phil muttered.

So what kept you so long?" she saw her dad waiting for her. "Something came up…" she answered dragging her stuff to her room. "Our driver is going to take you to school tomorrow" her dad order after seeing her bike. "And get me into embarrassment I'll just take the bus" she shouts as she went inside her room. "Oh no you don't" her dad started.

Meanwhile…

"Philip, where have you been?" Phil's ex-girlfriend Kimmi waited hopelessly outside his house. "Why don't you just come in, Lil's there" Phil answered as he walks towards the door. "You're not doing this to me because I broke up with you? Are you?" she cried. "It's none of your business Kimmi. I let you go, it's your turn to let me go" Phil said as he opens the door seeing Betty, Howard and Lil worrying. "Mom, Dad?" what are you doing here. "Philip De Ville, where have you been? We were worried sick?" Betty said shouts then started to hug her young man. "Kimmi, why are you here? Don't tell me you're with him all along. You could have just called us" Lil said. "Uhm…yeah, I have to go now. I'm so sorry Mrs. De Ville" she bowed then left.

Phil started to run after Kimmi and grabs her arm. "Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand you anymore?" Phil asked. Kimmi slowly turns around "I really don't know Phil…I really don't?" she answered with teary eyes then turn back and run towards her house.

Later…

"Yawn…It's a very long day and really different from any other…" Maikki said as she gets ready for bed. "Ba…ka" she slowly was lured to sleep, Phil's picture in her mind, with a smile hanging on her face.

Meanwhile…

Phil shoots his ball in the basket hanging on his door. Girls, they are to difficult to understand Phil thought himself remembering Kimmi. Then he lies down to bed and started closing his eyes. That idiot Phil thought as he remembered Maikki, he was wearing a grin on his face.
