Chapter two:
Like the wind
She took a deep breath while stepping out of her car looking around. This would be the last day of the summer break before she had to start that horrible task on a public school where her best friend used to work. The same friend who now lay in a hospital on the other side of the world waiting until she could get her operation. Once more the blonde took a deep breath and closed the car door behind her. With that she started walking into the direction of the lockers.
'' Haruka , wait !'' Suddenly someone yelled causing her to turn around again to look at a brown haired man. Slightly amused by the fact her friend was a little out of breath by trying to catch up with her , Haruka shook her head waiting until he would finally reach her.
Trying to regain his breath he looked up at his blonde friend.'' So this is the last day , tomorrow you will officially start working...'' He paused for a moment before straightening up and burst out into laughter.
'' Stop laughing this isn't funny...'' Haruka hissed embarressed by her friend's behaviour. She and Arow had been friends for over two years now. The blonde had turned twenty-two just two months ago and that same day her friend had called from a hospital in Europe to ask the tomboy for a favor. And ofcourse Haruka couldn't say no and now she was stuck with her promise to go teach on a public school. She wasn't the type to teach annoying teenagers things , actually she wasn't even interested in teaching. She had already set her mind on becoming a professional racer but she had to put that dream aside for a few more months now.
'' You are right...'' Arow laughed.'' This is beyond funny , it's hilarious !'' And with that said he burst into laughter again. He couldn't really imagine Haruka teaching teenagers the art of modern japanese and if he knew something about the blonde , it was she disliked that subject herself.
'' You're helpless.'' Haruka muttered as she started to walk away. She didn't really feel like discussing the matter , after all this would be her last day before her freedom would officially been taken away from her. She still could hear Arow laugh behind her but she decided to ignore it for now.
Haruka now started walking into the direction of the circuit instead of the lockers. She suddenly didn't feel like racing anymore. Maybe she could do something different for once. As she got closer to the track she could hear the wind whisper softly through the air as it played with her short blonde hair. For a few minuted Haruka stopped walking and stood still concentrating on the sound the wind made. Sometimes it felt as if the wind talked to her. She could still remember how hard Arow had laughed after she told him but his reaction hadn't changed the fact it still felt like it.
Shaking her head she opened her eyes again planning to walk further again but when she looked down she saw a black haired girl stand in front of her. It was Kim-Che, she was one of Haruka's oldest friends and also her ex girlfriend. After a long time of being friends they had decided to take it to the next level. It worked well for a couple of weeks until both of them came to the conclusion it would be best for them to stay friends. Ofcourse it took them a few more couple of weeks before they could finally talk to eachother as real friends again. Haruka had to admit she had feared her relation with Kim-Che had been completely distroyed but luckily for her she had been wrong.
Kim-Che smiled up at her blonde friend , it seemed she was almost as amused as Arow had been after he laughed his heart out. It still looked like nobody had any faith in Haruka becoming a teacher until her friend would move back to Japan.'' Stop looking at me like that , i'm not too fond of this idea myself. Could we please let it rest for a while and atleast give me this day to be free from all my worries?''
The black haired girl nodded trying hard not to laugh which was harder than she thought.'' I'm sorry Ruka , it's just...'' She giggled.'' It's just it's hard to imagine you standing in front of a whole class full of teenage girls who think you are a guy and all want to be your girlfriend...''
'' Ah I hadn't thought about that yet.'' The tomboy replied starting to worry too. What would happen if those girls would start writing love letters to her. It wouldn't be the first time Haruka would get herself in those kinds of situations.
'' You really are something Ruka , I mean I don't know how you do it but somehow you always know how to put yourself in these kinds of...'' She was cut off by Haruka who pressed her hand against her friend's mouth.
'' Kim-Che Kouri , I swear if you finish that sentence you could better start digging your own grave.'' The black haired girl's face suddenly turned pale. Now it was Haruka's turn to burst out into laughter. She couldn't believe how easy it was for her to scare Kim-Che. ''Come one you know I was just kidding. You need to lighten up a bit.''
The black haired girl just shook her head as Haruka's hand left her mouth.'' Oh you can say what you want my dear Ruka , in the end it's you who will be teaching them a lesson. Not me.'' She sighed calming down a bit.''Anyway i'm bored, let's do something fun.''
'' Like..?'' Haruka asked earning an odd look from the other.
'' Like...a little race , you against me...'' Kim-Che suggested even though she knew Haruka would win. She was fast but Haruka...Haruka was something beyond fast. Before Kim-Che ever met the tomboy she was the fastest on the track but since Haruka showed up she had always been second in every race. Still she was confident she would defeat Haruka in a fair race some day. And who knew , maybe this would be that day.
'' Ah , it seems you like losing.'' The blonde said playfully earning a cold glare from her friend.'' Hey didn't I just tell you to lighten up. I just just kidding.''
''Let's see if you're still as funny as you are now after I beat you.'' The black haired girl said completely confident about herself. The blonde just shook her head and pointed at a white line that was drawn on the grass letting the other know that would be their finish. Her friend just nodded as she got into position. This was something they always did. They didn't need words to hear the start sign. No instead of that they looked at the clock of the church which let them know there would be one minute left before it would be twelve 'o clock. That would be their start sign.
One minute later the clock said it was time causing both woman to start running towards the white line. For a moment it seemed Kim-Che would win this match but just before she crossed the white line Haruka catched up with her. 'That was fast..' She thought and stopped running to turn around and to congratulate her friend. But when she looked at the blonde she saw Haruka was kind of distracted by something all of a sudden and when she followed the blonde's eyes to see what she was looking at she saw it too.
On the track a black haired man had showed up. His name was Keiichi , he was one of Haruka's rivals on the track. Not only was he mad at Haruka for stealing away his girlfriend.Which wasn't even true since Haruka didn't even know the girl , but also because he couldn't accept the fact her had been beaten by a female in a race.
'' I thought he wasn't allowed to show up at the track anymore...'' Kim-Che said wiping away the sweat of her forehead.
'' He isn't...'' Haruka said when she noticed he was looking back into their direction and now started walking towards them followed by three other guys who looked pretty dangerous. Keiichi had been throw out of the team ever since he tried to attack Haruka with a pistol which wasn't even loaded. A kind of stupid action and it also was that stupid action which got him banished from the track. he wasn't even allowed to come near the tomboy anymore but it seemed he wasn't paying attention to the rules anymore.
'' Tenoh...'' He said when he was close enough. The three other guys just smirked evily as Kim-Che hide behind her blonde friend.'' How nice to see you here again together with your little whore...''
'' Yes , nice to see you again too. I see you brought the rest of your I-can't-do-nothing-right army.'' She shook her head trying to stay calm. ''So now you are going to beat me since a pistol is too hard for you to handle?''
'' Oh shut up Tenoh...'' Keiichi hissed. He couldn't believe Haruka still dared to use such a tone in the first place. After all they were with four of them and she was only together with her friend. Not to mention women shouldn't talk in such a way towards a man.
'' If your friends are going to beat me , do you want me to shut up then too or would you like me to scream in pain ?'' Haruka went on ignoring the angry looks Keiichi and his men were giving her. They really didn't scare her with that stupid macho behaviour.
'' Now you've done it !'' The black haired man yelled as he gestured his men to start attack and beat Haruka. But much to his dismay it never came to that when he suddenly heard a few people yell his name. He was caught. Looking around he saw almost all other racers had gathered around the fighting 'men'. Though most of them knew Haruka was female. It wasn't hard to miss after Keiichi had made such a drama out of it a few weeks ago.
'' I guess , you're lucky this time Tenoh but when you expect it the less , i'll come for you and kill you...'' Keiichi hissed and started walking away followed by the other three men who gave the blonde tomboy one last look before turning back to follow Keiichi like a fewlove sick puppy's. Haruka just rolled her eyes giving the other mechanics and racers thankful looks before turning around to look at her scared friend.
'' Oh dear , you were so brave today. First you think i'd let you dig your own grave because i'm was to kill you and now you hide behind my back when I'm about to get my ass kicked by some idiotic sexist.'' Kim-Che blushed embarressed but when she felt Haruka's arm around her shoulder that feeling was washed away once more. And with that they started heading towards the locker rooms.
