Chapter 3: New students?
Ikuto's POV
I stared out the classroom window, looking at the clouds as they drifted peacefully by. My brain was slowly shutting down as the teacher droned on and on about the stupid math sum. My mind flashed back to the scenario last night, what did Hikaru mean by that sentence? 'Something's going to happen'? What something?
As my brain started to wander, I found sleep starting to overpower me. My eyes were starting to close as I fought to keep them open. I contemplated about transforming and getting out of here, back home, where I could sleep. But I knew if I so much as used my powers to erase a mistake on my worksheet, I would receive an earful about abuse of powers from Nagihiko and Kairi, not to mention using them to stop time and fly back home.
I glanced towards Kairi's table and saw him fast asleep. I sniggered, teacher's pet asleep on the table huh? Now I have something to retaliate back to him when he lectures me about paying attention during class. I sneakily took out my phone and snapped a picture of this rare scene before saving it.
I sighed and leaned my head against the window, exhausted. Slowly, sleep started to overcome me and I drifted off to dreamland…
When I opened my eyes I was standing in the middle of a huge white room in my full transformation. Two midnight blue wings sprouted out from my back and I was wearing a dark blue sleeveless top with ripped black skinny jeans and chains on the side of them.
I looked around the room and saw a flash of movement. I scanned the area again and my midnight blue eyes met with a pair of honey golden ones. Shocked, I blinked but was unable to move and inch. Why weren't my feet working?
As I struggled to move, I stared into the golden orbs and I realized how beautiful they were. The gold in the eyes sparkled and looked like mini sunrays as they danced around in a pool of honey.
Then a sweet voice chimed happily, "Ikuto!" and the beautiful golden eyes twinkled as though smiling. Her voice was so familiar...but where did I hear it before? Was it a girl in my class? No, it couldn't be, none of them had such captivating eyes…
I was jerked out of my dream when my math teacher yelled my name, "Tsukiyomi-san," she said through gritted teeth. "I know my lesson is boring, but would you pay attention instead of sleeping? There is only five minutes left," she said angrily.
My cool persona snapped on as I stared blankly at the teacher, then, I just sighed and stood up, turning to leave the room.
"Tsukiyomi-san! Where do you think you're going? Class is not yet over!" the teacher demanded angrily.
Just then, the shrill sound of the bell rang throughout the class and I smirked at the perfect timing.
"Class dismissed," I muttered and stepped out of the room.
The boys erupted in cheers his caused a very confused Kairi to wake up and start trying to keep the class quiet. Yelling was going throughout the class but I ignored them and walked out of class.
Just when I thought I finally got away, however, I heard someone call out to me, "Ikuto-kun!"
I turned around and mentally groaned. It was that girl, Maaya or something like that. She had this really annoying laugh and always chased after us (Kukai, Nagihiko, Kairi and myself), trying to flirt and get our attention. It was seriously annoying.
I turned back and wanted to continue walking but she grabbed me by the arm.
"Nee, Ikuto-kun," she said in a disgustingly sweet voice, "Will you go out with me this Saturday?" she asked, batting her eyes.
I stared at her with a blank look on my face, "No, I have better things to do than hang out with someone who bullies other people," I said bluntly then turned around and walked away calmly, leaving her shell shocked.
When I was out of sight, I transformed and flew to the roof to get away from all the incessant noise. When I reached the top, I found the most comfortable spot I could to lie down at. I curled up and closed my eyes drifting back to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the same pair of beautiful golden eyes greeted me.
"Who was that?" the voice chimed. It was so pretty, like the delicate tinkle of bells. But it sounded off, a trance of hurt and betrayal was evident in it.
"Who?" I said, puzzled by the question.
"That red head girl," the melodious voice said and I realized she was talking about that Maaya or whatever girl.
As I stared into those beautiful orbs I saw the hurt in them become more and more obvious and I had to fight to hide the happy emotion I was feeling from escaping into my face.
"Why? Are you jealous?" I didn't know why but it felt so right and easy to tease her.
"No!" she exclaimed and I chuckled, seeing a blush on her face.
Almost instinctively, I stepped back trying to see her face. Cream white skin, rose pink lips...But none of those mattered, something was nagging at the back of my saying to look at her hair.
Suddenly, I was jolted awake by the shrill ring of the bell, signaling the end of break time. I sighed and jumped off the roof and walked slowly back to class, irritated that my dreams were constantly disrupted.
As I walked back to class, however, I bumped into someone. I was about to apologize but she beat me to it. Her head whirled around and she bowed towards me, "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," she apologized sheepishly.
However, I was too busy trying to keep my mouth from dropping to answer her, this girl had pink hair! Bubble gum pink as a matter of fact but it didn't look unnatural like it had been dyed like those neon ones but a soft pink as though it was natural. I was about to say something when I realized, she sounded like the girl from my dreams! However, not wanting to sound rude, I apologized.
She stood upright as she heard my voice, her pink locks swaying slightly as she did so. My suspicions were confirmed when she gazed up at me and the familiar gold specks fluttered around her honey orbs.
Her eyes widen at the sight of me but immediately her gazed hardened.
"Ikuto," she said softy and I almost couldn't hear her.
I was confused, how did she know my name? Before I could ask her though, she ran off and I was too shocked to follow in pursuit.
Nagihiko POV
I sighed and leaned back on my chair. I was so tired after that chase that my eyes were starting close on their own, I wish Hikaru didn't choose 4 am to get police officers on his trail, now I can barely keep my eyes open.
It was impossible to sleep with all the yelling so I decided to go to the library where it'll at least be a little quieter. However, as I wandered through the corridor, I bumped into something, or rather someone. But she was so small that I didn't notice her at first. She had long, wavy dirty blonde hair a small figure; in fact, she just barely came up to my shoulders.
Thinking she was from middle or maybe even elementary school, I said sweetly to her, "Are you lost little girl? What are doing in the high school department?"
Almost immediately, her head snapped up and my eyes widen and the fiery dislike in her honey ones, "I'm from high school you jerk!" she yelled at me and before taking her leave, she stomped nice and hard on my foot. I winced noticeably, which earned me a satisfied smirk from the little girl as she stalked off.
'What did I do?' I wondered incredulously.
I never knew how long I stood there trying to figure out what I did to offend the girl but I wasn't even done when the bell rang, signaling the start of class. I walked back to class slowly, still wondering what I did wrong.
Kukai's POV
I laughed merrily at the stunned teacher's expression as Tsukiyomi strolled leisurely out of class and was still laughing as I walked out of the classroom and towards the canteen to get something to munch on.
I was a little light headed, after all, staying up all night wasn't an easy task, but the cans of coke sure did help. I sighed as I thought of the punishment Fujisaki and Sanjo had for me when we got home.
Flashback 6 am
When we reached home, I ran to my room in hopes of getting some shut eye but I was grabbed on the collar before I could do so.
"Souma Kukai," Kairi said, his tone deadly.
"Yes...?" I asked tentatively, fearing for my life.
"You will clean up my bookshelf and your room before going to bed and you will not use magic or else..." he trailed off warningly, not even bothering to finish his threat but I nodded my head fearfully, his punishments were the worst.
I spent two whole freaking hours cleaning his extensive collection up in the proper order (darn him and his OCD) before we left for school.
End of flashback
I was jerked out from memory lane when I felt something spark within me and I looked around the hallways to trace the source, but I saw no one of interest until my eyes landed on a fair haired girl, she was beautiful with long blonde hair that was tied up in twin tails and sparkling amethyst eyes and looked like a new student.
I approached her and asked, "Yo blondie, you lost? Maybe I can help. My name is Souma Kukai by the way but you can call me Kukai," I extended my hand in greeting.
She smirked at me and shook my hand, "Well then Kukai, my name is Hoshina Utau but you can call me Utau since I'm calling you Kukai. And no, I'm not lost, I'm just looking for the canteen," she said.
Her voice was beautiful, melodic and strong, and best of all; she wasn't all smitten over me like all the other girls.
I smiled brightly at her and lead the way towards our massive canteen. At which, I found out the both of us loved ramen and had a ramen eating contest which ended in a tie. We bickered playfully about the winner each self-proclaiming ourselves as the rightful winner. I smiled to myself, strong, hot girl with a good appetite, wow, maybe; just maybe, this day wasn't so bad.
Kairi's POV
To be woken up by a rowdy crowd of boys was NOT fun. The made more noise than stampeding elephants! I spent half of my break time chasing them out of the class and by then I was so tired.
I didn't mean to sleep during class but I was really exhausted after the sleep spell I casted and I just fell asleep half way through her boring lecture.
I sighed and settled back into my chair and laid my head on the table, drifting back to sleep.
However, no more than a minute later, I was startled out of my dreamless sleep again by the sound of feet shuffling in the class. I opened my eyes groggily and saw a young looking girl placing a bag of candy on everyone's table.
When she saw me looking at her, she dashed towards me and shook my hand happily and started rambling about something but she was talking so fast that I could barely hear what she was saying and my mashed up brain state did not help.
"HimynameisYuikiYaya, nicetomeetyou! Whatsyourname? Ihopewecanbefriends!" she rambled on and on.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and cut in, "Sorry but I can't understand what you're saying…"
She blinked a few times then smiled sheepishly, "Sorry I tend to get carried away. My name is Yuiki Yaya, but you can call me Yaya. I'm a transfer student from Sakurada High. It's very nice to meet you," and she bowed.
I blinked a few times, this girl seemed eerily familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it, maybe I passed by her once in her past life?
Not wanting to be rude, I introduced myself; "My name is Sanjo Kairi, since most people just call me Inchou so you can either call me that or Kairi."
She smiled at me, "Okay then, Kairi-kun it is."
We hit off pretty easily after that, she was actually surprisingly nice to talk to despite seeing like she was always on a sugar rush. We chatted until the bell rang and she left class. A small smile graced my lips; this new girl was pretty cute.
Just then, a very confused looking Nagihiko entered the room followed by a very happy Kukai and a rather depressed Ikuto. I questioned them about what happened but they all refused to answer.
"Class, we have some transfer students today," our homeroom teacher announced and four girls walked into the room.
I smiled when I saw Yaya and gave her a tentative wave, which she returned vigorously. Just then, however, I heard someone groan and turned around with a very puzzled look. Nagihiko was sitting with his head in his hand, Kukai was grinning from ear to ear and Ikuto looked like the world had crashed down on him.
I pushed my specs up, smiling slightly, well, this is turning out to be quite an interesting day.
* Ramen= Type of japanese noodles
Inchou= Class president
Once again Merry Christmas, as my present please leave a review to tell me how it was XD.
