New Kids on The Block
The school was abuzz with excitement. For the first time in Shohoku's history an exchange student program was being held in their beloved school. Everyone was asking the same question. Who were they? Was there going to be a mixture of both gender (meaning there were both girls and boys in the program)? Will HE be a hunk, handsome and hot; OR will SHE be a babe, beautiful and gorgeous? Everybody couldn't wait to meet the new kids on the block. Everybody, except the Ice Prince. His mates knew that he wouldn't trouble himself with such trivial topics like this, so they thought they understood his silence. But they didn't. Rukawa was silent and brooding the whole day because of one ting that happened last night. The Phantom Pianist. Who was that pianist and what was he/she doing there? Try as hard as he might, he couldn't get the music out of his mind. it was like the tune was emblazoned into his very core and he couldn't get it out of his system.
But before he could ponder further on the subject, he and everyone else was called to the hall for an important and special assembly. The headmaster was about to introduce the newly transferred exchange students to everyone. He hushed the students for silence before proceeding on with a long introduction of the new student exchange program just recently introduced to the school. Boredom immediately sets in and impatient sounds echoed around the hall so that the headmaster was forced to cut his speech short before things got out of hand.
"Students of Shohoku High, may I introduce to you all our first exchange students of the year and in our history, Ma Yi Lian and Lai Chi Yin from Shanghai, China." announced the headmaster.
Two girls emerged onto the stage. The first girl was petite and slender. She had fair complexion that looked almost pale under bright fluorescent light but had a beautiful, slight golden hue of tan under the sun's ray. Dark brown hair that lightly graced her shoulder flowed gently around her face. Her face looked plain at first sight but when observed closely and carefully, one would notice that her face was capable of cute and sweet animated expressions. She had beautiful dark brown eyes that had a sharp, bright, intelligent look. She gravely acknowledged the crowd below her with hardly a smile on that beautiful face of hers. The other girl had a slightly darker complexion and was a bit shorter than the first. Her dark brown hair was much longer than the first, which was up to her waist. Dark brown eyes smiled sweetly to everyone present then that matched her smile plastered on her dace, and that showed her friendly personality. They looked almost like a pair of twins. Boys were awed by their beauty and some girl became green with jealousy. Overall, the reaction was immediate and of great magnitude because the hall was soon filled with whoops of cheers and wolf whistle and a soft booing.
"They will be studying here for a year, so be nice to them. They will be in class 2-7, so those from that class will have to show them around the school later on. I hope both of you will make new friends, get to know new people and enjoy your time here. And welcome once again to Japan!" announced the headmaster.
'So, they will be in the same class as I. But what do I care anyway' and with that, Rukawa felt back into a deep slumber. Little did he know the true identity behind the those two girls, or should we put it…one of them…
