Kind of rushed the stuff on this part, because we all know about the stuff that happened
I sighed as I looked up at a section of one of the many walls around Shibuya Terminal, leaning on the rail that was kept the sidewalk and the road separate. What should it be, what should it be. That was the question that kept going through her head as she stared at the plain brick wall. Finally I just closed my eyes and started spraying. Hell, I don't know how it worked, but when I opened my eyes, a giant tag was before me. But before I could even ask myself how the hell I did that, I heard a familiar voice
"Gum!" I turned around and saw Corn, skating towards me and waving
"Hey Corn!" I waved back before turning back to the tag
"Did you do that?" he asked me
"Yeah" I nodded "Shibuya Terminal is going to be our turf from now on"
"Really?"
"Mmhmm" I smiled, then turned once I heard the one noise that any Rudie hated
Sirens
I could see a group of Rokkaku Police chasing a boy with short red hair and ridiculously large headphones
"Come on" Corn started to skate away, but I grabbed his arms and pointed at the boy
"But look!"
As he stared at him for a moment, I added "We should help him"
"He could probably handle it himself" he tried to skate away, but I stopped him again and gave him the puppy-dog eyed look. I didn't want to take advantage of his nice nature, but I wanted to help that other kid.
"Fine. . ." he sighed and skated into the group of Rokkaku Police, knocking them all down like bowling pins. The events that followed made me wish I never asked him. Apparently, he had been recruiting members for his gang, but he was such an ass to call us newbie Rudies and that he wasn't looking for anyone like us. I restrained myself from punching him as I gladly reminded him that we had just saved his ass. After that, he took us to his gang's hideout, which, from the population of it, showed that he was clearly the only member. After Corn and I had a quick discussion, we decided to join. Of course, I was against it, but I found out that he, as we learned, his name was Beat, was pretty nice sometimes, and I found myself crushing on him
I didn't want to tell Corn for some reason, and I still didn't know why. But I didn't need to, because he had already figured it out, and he approached me after we tagged all of Shibuya Terminal and Dogenzaka Hill.
"You like Beat, don't you?" He asked as I was sitting on the couch waiting for nothing in particular
"No, he's a total ass" I lied
"Than why did you keep looking at him at Dogenzaka Hill?"
I hated to admit it, but he totally got me there. Corn, probably seeing that I wasn't going to respond anytime soon, continued
"It's okay if you like him, really. He may actually be good for you"
"Really?" I looked at him
"Hell if I know" Thanks, that was really reassuring I thought as he shrugged "But, if you want to, I'm not stopping you"
I gave a small smile to him "Thanks Corn" and watched him skate away. The next day, I gathered up the courage and approached Beat
"H-hey Beat?" I grasped my hands behind my back
"Yes?" I could tell from behind his blue-tinted sunglasses that he didn't really want to be bothered, but it was now or never
"I-I was wonder if we could possibly go out sometime" I could feel myself blushing slightly
"Like a date?"
"Yeah"
He turned away "I don't date ugly loud mouthed girls like you"
I just stood there, shocked. I had just been rejected, and called ugly at that. I bet I looked like a total dumb ass as I just stood there. Finally, I turned around, my head hanging low, and skated away. I couldn't let him see me cry, I couldn't let him know that he had won. But I spent the next night sobbing, softly, but still sobbing. But I guess it wasn't soft enough, because Corn came up to me
"Gum?" He said, and I looked up at him, tears still streaming down my face and my eyes swollen. I bet I looked really ugly then, but I know Corn wouldn't care
"Beat. . .he. . ." I could form the worlds properly
"He rejected you, didn't he?" He seemed so dead serious, like he was going to go up to Beat and punch him in the face at any moment. I nodded solemnly, and he sighed
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told him to go after you" I couldn't stand seeing Corn this sad, so I hugged him and whispered in his ear
"It's okay, it isn't your fault Corn. I was stupid to even try to go after him" I whispered in his ear, then back up a little so his face was in front of mine so I could smile for him. But. . .he kissed me. He kissed me right on the lips. I wasn't really sure how to react, but I never had time to decide. He broke it, and skated off, mumbling "I'm sorry"
I just sat there for a little, trying to decide if I should be jumping for joy or crying ever more. But then I found out something, I loved him. I absolutely loved him, and I couldn't tell him
Things only became worse. A year later, Beat disappeared without a trace. We searched for 2 years before we gave up, and I had felt like a part of my self had died. Without Beat, it wasn't as lively. I could tell Corn felt the same, even though he started acting more laid back to try to cheer me up, it didn't help. I was glad he was trying, but nothing was helping. I was spiraling downwards, and sometimes almost wanted to kill myself
Until that annoying kid came
I'm not sure if it was the totally mismatched clothing or that cocky grin he had on his face, but either way, I knew he was going to be a handful the first time I saw him
"You're Gum, right?"
"Yeah, and?" I raised an eyebrow
"Corn said you were in charge of recruits"
"Lazy ass" I looked away and mumbled to myself before turning to him "Fine, show me you can do the basics, and I would suggest putting the dog down for that"
"Thanks for the reminder yo" the kid rolled his eyes and set the tiny pug down. Whoever the kid was, he had skills, and he looked like he was 11 or 12 (Though he keeps saying he's 15). After he had completed a couple tests I gave him, Corn decided to let him join. His name was Yoyo, and the dogs name was Potts, and they were just what I needed to get my mind off of Beat.
Yoyo was pretty mischievous, and annoying, and said 'yo' a lot, but he was good company. And I loved Potts for the cute, adorable, lovable puppy he was. But, my paradise away from sadness would be cut short
