It was Stephanie's First day at Kaibara High School she was visiting Japan with her brother Brian.They were going to be there for a whole school year...and maybe part of the summer if all went well.Stephanie always felt out of place because of her current and permanent condition.She was in a wheelchair.She had been in one for as long as she can remember.She felt so out of place her even more because the only person she knew was her brother,but he wasn't here at school with her he was 26 and she was 10 years younger than him.So she felt all alone more than something.
"Maybe this was a bad idea"she thought"I bet i could get me and Brian out of here by tomorrow on a plane and back to MY friends and MY home."
As these delightful thought were going through her head she didnt notice the three girls staring right at her.
"Maybe we should talk to her she looks lonely"said the first girl
"You are right Hana-Chan" said the second girl
"I think it is a great idea" said the third girl and with that the three girls got up and approached Stephanie.
"Hi I am Tohru Honda and these are my friends Uo-Chan"She said pointing to a tall Dish Water blond hair colored girl "and Hana-Chan"Tohru Continued as she pointed out a dark little girl"...and you would be Stephanie right?"
"Ummm...Yes I am."Answered Stephanie wondering if she had made the right choice by talking to this preppy perky thing named Tohru Honda
The three girls had taken a seat at the table in front and the two on either side of her.
Tohru had taken the one in front and turned around to talk to Stephanie before class started.
"Lets see...Thats Kyo over there with the orange hair" Tohru indicated a tall boy who was sitting all by himself in a corner or the classroom staring out the window"thats Yuki over there"Stephanie looked to see a cute boy surrounded by a crowd of silly girls.
"That would be The Prince Yuki Fan Club over there" piped in Uo-chan while she gave the girls a evil look.
"And thats..."Stephanie never found out exactly who THAT was because at that moment a completely hott guy came in the class and made a beeline directly to Tohru.
"Oh Hey Haru"Tohru said
"Hey Tohru...Hey Uo...Hey Hana...Hey...Wait...Who is this..."he said as he saw Stephanie
"Thats Stephanie...Shes new...From United States right Stephanie...?"Said Hana-Chan.
"Umm...Yeah the States thats right..."said Stephanie as she was ripped from her thoughts.
Uo-Chan looked at her as if she knew exactly what the New Student had been thinking of.
Stephanie looked at Uo-Chan the same way ...both girls were thinking the exact same
thing...she likes him doesnt she maybe this girl isnt as good as she seems.
That whole thing happened in a second but felt like a moment as all tense situations do.
They were immediately pulled out of that umm interesting scenario as Haru started talking.
"So Tohru are you going to invite Stephanie over for dinner soon"he said with a smile and -or maybe Stephanie imagined it- but a wink.
"Oh thats a simply perfect idea"squealed the overly perky girl"So do you want to Stephanie?"
"Ummm...Sure but can my Brother come to i dont want to leave him all alone"
"That would be... fine..." Haru had a hard time getting the words out.
"As if he expected that we could be alone...no no that cant be it i just met the guy he cant.
or could he...?"Stephanie thought as he stared into her Bright yet Dark baby Blue eyes.
"Yay! Then dinner at my house oh you are going to like it so much there.but i will tell you later here comes Yuki...i guess he finally got away frmo the fan club...maybe i should call Kyo over here so they both can meet you."Tohru finally ended with a bid intake of breath afterwhch she looked as though she was going to go on talking.Haru held up a hand to her and said...
"I will go get him Tohru"with those few words he stood up and with one last glance looked at Stephanie then walked away to fetch the orange headed boy by the window.
"Hey Yuki!"screamed Tohru as the 'Prince' came to sit by her and the other girls."This is Stephanie Shes new."
"I know"Yuki said with a smile.Which Stephanie returned with a blush...
Then she remembered her moms words.
'Guys only want one thing and you should never let any guy close except your Brother Brian'
She had other brothers but her mom had never let them get close to them not so much as a hug had ever
been passed.Stephanie found this slightly odd but was determined to listen to her mother as much as she
could that meant no guys...but would that mean forever?only one time had she given her brother Phillip
a hug that her mom gave her the lecture.Odd thing was that Stephanie couldnt remember what had happened
afterward she remembered her brother bringing her to her room...not Phillip but Brian.After that she was
put in an all girls elementary school.Her Mother never explained anything to her she was and Stephanie
hates to admit it but afraid of Stephanie she never came close to her even when she left for Japan.
While she was thinking Haru had come back with Kyo.Kyo and Yuki were arguing about what...Stephanie really didnt care.
The bell rang.Th arguing stopped.Class Started.
"PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR NOTEBOOKS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON THE BOARD"
Stephanie immediately did as the teacher instructed.Although she only gave the teacher half of her attention.Questions were shooting through her mind in all directions.
"I cant wait til the dinner tonight" she thought as she stared at Haru.
