Chapter 2: What Life Is Like
"WAKE UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" A women shouted into a room, waking up everyone in the house. The boy in the bed groaned.
"But, it's Sunday! School doesn't start until Monday!" The boy said as he stuffed his head in his pillow. The women snarled.
"I don't care! Now get up and make me breakfast!" She snarled again as she slammed the door. He groaned at the sound as he finally got up.
He ran into the bathroom and took a shower and got dressed. He started for the hair brush until he looked at his reflection.
His name was Akira(Brick). He had long auburn hair that went to his waist and a red tanktop on with black jeans. He wore red and black high tops and picked up his hat and put it on his dresser. He picked up the brush and started brushing his long hair before he put his signature cap on. Of course backwards.
He ran downstairs and found his step mother, Megan, watching TV. Takeshi(Butch), his brother, was vacuuming up the mess she made last night, while Takeo(Boomer) was running back in forth with laundry. Akira was starting to feel like a house wife and his brothers felt the same.
He cooked breakfast and called everyone to the table including their little step sister Kaze(Breeze). She was only 10 years old while his brothers were all 16. They were starting school on Monday and only had to endure 2 more years of pure hell. (High school.)
Kaze had light blue hair with twin pigtails falling down her back. She was a happy girl and Akira and his brothers intended to keep her that way. She wore a light blue tanktop and a white skirt along with a white headband and black school girls shoes. Her white eyes shine with happiness. She got the blue hair from her step mother while the white eyes from dad.
"So what are you guys doing today?" Kaze asked her brothers while they looked up at her to awnser only to be interupted.
"Well, I was planning to-" Megan started before she was cut off by her daughter.
"Nobody asked you. I was talking to my big brothers." Kaze said coldly as Megan just sneered and kept eating. Akira smiled.
"Well, I was going to go down to the library to see what new books they had." Akira said as Kaze snickered.
"Well aren't you quite the nerd? What about you Takeshi?" Kaze asked looking at Takeshi while Akira shook his head.
"Im going to go down to the skate park and practice a little." Takeshi said as he shrugged. Kaze nodded as she turned to Takeo, who already knew what she was going to ask him.
"Im going to the park and see if I can find anything new to draw." Takeo smiled sweetly before finishing up his food, his brothers along with him as they put the plates and silverware in the sink.
"DONT YOU TWERPS FORGET TO DO THE CHORES!" Megan screamed as they walked out the door.
"DO IT YOURSELF!" Takeshi screamed back as he slammed the door, turning to his brothers.
"Well, that should buy us sometime! Let's go get Mark, Jason, and Drake. Im sure they would like to go to 'our' skate park right?" Takeshi smirked as his brothers grinned.
They took off down the street each going to a different house. Akira picked up Jason, Takeo picked up Mark, and Takeshi picked up Drake.
They met at a worn down gate. Akira, Takeo, and Takeshi all wore skates that had two big wheels on each side that they got from a black market. Mark, Jason, and Drake all had skate boards.
"Ready?" Takeshi said as he opened the gate. Everyone nodded and skated inside to reveal a old skate park. The boys had fixed it up to make it look decent and nobody knew about it besides them. Even their little sister Kaze didn't know about it. Yet.
"Woooo!" Everyone screamed and laughed as they skated up and down the ramps at top speed, doing all types of tricks and flips.
Once everyone settled down and started to head back home, the Jojo brothers went up to the tree sitting on a hill near the edge of New Townsville.
"Hm, this is nice. I like coming up here. It helps get rid of stress. Makes me more calm." Takeo said as he sighed and propped himself gingerly on one of the top branches. Takeshi just nodded and layed back on a lower branch. Akira leaned against the trunk.
"As much as I really hate to leave, we have to go. School tommorow, remember?" Akira said as he turned to his brothers who groaned in protest.
"Whhhhhhy? I don't want to go back to school. Why can't it stay summer?" Takeshi groaned as Akira just stood up and made a sign to follow. Takeshi sighed as he got off his branch, followed by Takeo and ran off towards a home they didn't want to go back to.
"MOMOKO! WAKE UP! OR ELSE IM GOING TO EAT EVERYTHING!" Kuriko screamed at her sleeping sister. Momoko shot up and gasped as she rushed out of PJ's.
She put on a white shirt with pink sleeves and a heart in the middle. She wore a pink tanktop underneath and a denim skirt. She slipped on a pair of socks and put her hair in a ponytail with her red bow before running after her little sister.
"Oh, no you don't you little-" Momoko started as she realized she had ran all the way downstairs so she scratched her head nervously.
"Hey, mom. Dad. Uh, what's going on this morning?" Momoko said awkwardly as she sat at the table while her mom passed out the servings.
"Oh, my little girl is always so energetic in the morning!" Her mom said as she smiled as Momoko groaned.
"Moooom! I'm 16! I am not so little anymore!" She said as she ate her breakfast. Her mom either ignored her or didn't hear her because she continued.
"So are you ready for your second year of high school sweet heart? I know that since we keep switching schools, you wouldn't be as thrilled but, good news! Kaoru and Miyako are going to be there along with the Jojo brothers from when you were in elementary-" Momokos mom didn't finsh because Momokos head snapped up.
"Akira's gonna be in school this year?!" Momoko screamed with anime hearts in her eyes until she noticed her whole family staring at her. She chuckled nervously.
"Uhh, hehe..." Momoko chuckled, not knowing what to do. Her little sister spoke up first.
"MOMOKO'S GOT A CRUSH! MOMOKO'S GOT A CRUSH!" She screamed over and over again while Momoko blushed a bright red.
"I do not! Besides, I haven't seen him since elementary and-" Momoko kept making excuses as Kuriko smirked.
"Uh huh. Sure you don't." She said slyly. Momoko turned red in embarrassment and anger.
"Uhhhhhh! I'm going upstairs!" Momoko screamed. She flopped on her bed and sighed trying to get her mind off of Akira. She hadn't seen him and years and always had a slight crush on him. She blushed as she grabbed her pillow and squealed.
She was going to like this year of high school.
"Miyako dear. It's time to get up, breakfast is ready." Grandma said as Miyako fluttered her delicate eyes open. She yawned quietly.
"Good morning Grandma. I'll be right down." Miyako said quietly as her Grandma left the room. Miyako put on her slippers and took a shower then decided what she was going to wear.
She took a really long time until she decided on something simple yet stylish. She wore a plaid blue and white skirt with a white school shirt and a blue tie. She slipped on some white socks before walking to the kitchen where her Grandmother was waiting to start eating breakfast.
"Hello Grandma. So am I going to school with Kaoru and Momoko this year. They said that they would be in town since I haven't seen them in awile. Kaoru's always moving because of her dads wrestling matchs and Momoko is always moving because of her dads work." Miyako said as she remembered her best friends saying that they would be in town this year. Grandma chuckled.
"Yes dearie. I also heard about that elementary friend of yours being in school this year. Takeo, I believe." Grandma said, as she chuckled watching Miyako's head snap up. She blushed a bright red and twirled a piece of her hair from her pigtail.
"T-Takeo's going to be in school this year." Miyako stuttered as her Grandma nodded.
"Yes dear. I think it will be a great opportunity for you two to catch up. I remember you two were great friends back in the day." Her Grandma said as she picked up the dishes as Miyako was left to her thoughts.
'Takeo's going to be in school this year! I haven't seen him in years! It's going to be so great to see him again! This is going to be a great school year!'
"Kaoru wake up! Your brothers are going to eat all the food again!" Kaorus mother yelled at her sleeping daughter. Kaoru snapped up and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. She got out about 5 minutes later and got dressed which didn't take to long.
She put on a black t-shirt and a green jacket over it along with green pants and slipped on her socks. She kept her hair the way it was which was deemed 'fashionably messy' by her and put on a green hat with a skull on it.
She ran out to the kitchen to find her brothers shoveling down food. She gasped.
"Hey leave some for me you pigs!" She said as she jumped into the chaos and started grabbing food and shoveling food down her throat like her brothers so she can get as much as possible.
After her and her brothers were satisfied, she asked about school.
"So, mom. Is Momoko and Miyako gonna be in school this year?" Kaoru asked as she wiped her face. Her mom smiled and turned to her.
"Well, they are but, I also heard that your friend from elementary is going to be there this year. I remember you were great friends with him when you were little." She said as Kaoru had a slight blush and chuckled nervously.
"Seriously? I didn't know he was going to be in school this year..." Kaoru started as she trailed off. Apparently her brothers caught on to her nervousness because they both smirked.
"Looks like Kaoru's got a crush!" Her little brother implied while her older brother snickered. Her dad snapped up at this.
"WHAT!? MY LITTLE KAORU DOESNT HAVE A CRUSH! RIGHT KAORU?" Her dad yelled as he towered over his daughter. Kaoru was sweating bullets as she tugged on the collar of her shirt.
"O-Of course dad. No boys." Kaoru said as she grinned widely. Her dad sat back and sighed.
"Thats a good thing to hear. Remember, no boys. At least, not while Im around! Hahaha!" Her dad laughed as Kaoru laughed nervously and nodded.
"Y-Yeah, of course..." Kaoru said nervously as she got lost in her thoughts.
'Hmm, Takeshi's going to be in school this year. Iv always had a little crush on him...but my dad defiantly won't aprove...I'll just keep it to myself. Yeah.'
This is going to be an Intersting school year.
Well, this was just a taste of what their lives are like now. As I said they are 16 now and starting school at NTH. (New Townsville High) They all know each other from elementary school but, haven't seen each other since. The girls just talk to one another over the phone or online. The boys don't know the girls are in their school. Yet. In the time that the girls haven't seen them, they got their step mother but, they are still relatively the same happy boys as before. Watch their life unfold, in my first ever story, 'The Lost Get Found'.
So, at the end of the chapter I will have a summary of some sort at the end. I won't give away stuff you already know about, so no spoilers! Anyways, I hope you enjoy and I will see you all later!
Peace, Love, and Eggos! :3
