Authors note: I thought about it overnight and came to the conclusion that maybe I was taking the story too fast all of a sudden, what do you think? Oh, and Please do review! I am updating as fast as I can so...PLEASE REVIEW!
It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining brightly upon the busy city of Tokyo. The petite girl was on the elevator after having had drank ten cans of Ponta that morning. She was insistent on staying awake to watch her work today. The elevator stopped on the 20th floor and in came the usual morning crowd. They smiled at her and, for the first time since she began her morning routine, she smiled back. It dazzled the group to silence.
She had arrived in school, her smile having had calmed down to a smirk only for it to turn into a smile again as her current favorite sempai awaited for her near the school gates. His ever-closing eyes and angelic (sadistic) smile was on his face. She stopped in front of him.
"Good morning Ryoma-chan" He greeted
"Morning, ah, I don't know how but I found your jersey at my place, I am not sure whether to say thank you or not but I cleaned it" She said nonchalant, not noticing that a few other students had over heard.
"Shall I walk you to your class Ryoma-chan?" He offered, yeah, it was almost time, but he was Fuji, he'd get by somehow.
"No thank you" She declined, already walking away
When the pretty girl had arrived at her homeroom class, she had shocked the whole class, glances were exchanged as she took her seat at the back, taking a much large boys seat though said boy didn't protest at all, despite her height, she didn't really need to study much anyway, she'd live.
She was about to lie down till she remembered the very fact of why she had wanted to be awake today. No, not yet. She sat straight and fought off drowsiness, thankfully enough, since she had disappeared without any excuse yesterday, she had been called to the front a lot, that was one thing that kept her awake, the other was her seatmate, a loud mouthed unibrowed guy that had gotten himself into more detentions for being caught talking way too much. Now if she could only remember his name….
She was suppose to eat lunch alone in the roof, but was joined by 5 others, mainly her seatmate, his three cronies, the girl she had stolen Ponta from yesterday, and her friend. They had introduced themselves to her sometime before but she was too focused on trying not to sleep to have remembered it.
"Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka yelled with glee.
Did she mean her? Damn she was sleepy again, abandon lunch! She stood up slowly, just nodding to the group, intent on getting some more Ponta in her despite having almost not eaten anything the whole day and the previous day. Ponta was worth it, it always would.
"Ah, I-if were disturbing you Echizen-san then we can go" Sakuno suddenly chided.
She looked back, the others were still standing, awaiting her verdict, her passive face brightened, it had been doing a lot of that today, "Nope, I am fine, just forgot to do something" She had dazzled yet another group with her smile today.
As she slowly walked around (she got lost) the fairly large school, people stared, whether in awe or envy she didn't care, all she wanted was a vending machine that had her delicious drink. Hopefully she'd get it before lunch was over or she'd be skipping the first class.
She opened a random door, wanting to ask someone where she could find a vending machine, but was silenced as she saw Tezuka, Fuji and Oishi (with a few large bruises) conversing. Oh, so she must be in the 3rd year corridor. The noisy class had silenced at her sudden entrance, and had maintained the awkward silence as she closed the door, remembering a path from here on out.
"Eh? Is Echizen-san lost? Maybe we should help her out…" Oishi contemplated.
The two just ignored his woes "Saa, we should cancel practice today Tezuka, it seems like most of the regulars wont be coming to school" he spoke, his sadistic smile growing larger.
True enough, since most of the regulars called in sick (unable to move), Tezuka sighed, massaging his forehead, feeling yet another large migraine, sooner or later he was going to snap. Oishi, who had the least bruises amongst the regulars who were in the line of fire when thing got messy last night just continued to ramble on.
Ryoma sneezed, sniffling cutely right after another can of Ponta. Her face scrunched up yet again as she felt another sneeze coming, she couldn't get to her handkerchief fast enough and so ended up stopping her sneeze, Momo must be talking about her.
Classes, were a breeze for the little genius and since it was still the second day, they only took math for their diagnostic test. She was home schooled before therefore was more advanced in the subjects than normal students, why she still went to school though was something even she didn't know.
There came two things with having an English class for the last subject, one, she couldn't skip since it was a third year lesson, two, it was the easiest subject she had, one she thought not necessary for her even since she had lived in America for most of her childhood. She was contemplating on what kind of Enlish subject they were going to give her next year since she was already in the third year class when she noticed she had three of the tennis regulars in this class with her.
One was Tezuka, who nodded to her as she passed by, another was Eiji, who wasn't there currently….and the other was Fuji, who, thankfully, was at the front while she was at the middle of the class, he had just smiled at her as she passed.
"Psst" Someone beside her suddenly whispered.
She glanced to the side briefly, noting the letter that said: Pass to Kimi, she just nodded, it was small and curt, before receiving the letter, Kimi was the person behind her and had also noticed the letter. She passed the letter silently, just staring into space as she watched the blackboard become filled with english phrases.
"Psst" The person from her other side took her attention a minute after
This letter also said: Pass to Kimi, she sighed and passed the letter. This girl must be really popular to be getting so many letters during class. The same thing kept happening a lot all throughout the two periods and thankfully enough, they didn't get caught all throughout class.
"Arigatou Echizen-san" Kimi, which was actually a nickname for Kimiryu, and was actually a really tall guy, beamed at her, though with a slight blush on his cheeks.
She just nodded in response, preparing her stuff to go watch tennis practice, her godmother would be waiting for her, as was the price of her masterpiece, she unknowingly let a small smile escape. She remembered something; she was supposed to report to the student council today.
She sighed, being freshmen representative wasn't fun at all…..with Ryoma's ever so lucky fortune, the council was in a meeting when she arrived with the papers. They had quieted down as she came in, without so much as a greeting, left the papers at the president's desk and then left as silently as she had entered, the council watching her every move.
"Ah, is she always like that?" The president asked Oishi since he had seen her on the tennis grounds yesterday after school.
Oishi, who was still sweat dropping shrugged "It's rare to see her awake for so long" he replied before they continued with their topic before the awkward silence.
On her way out of the council's room, she had bumped her favorite (thought that favor was wavering) sempai, who was actually late for the council meeting since he had cleaning duties. He smiled at her, his eyes still closed.
"Hello Ryoma-san, is everything ok?" He asked politely.
She just nodded, starring straight at his eyelids, contemplating the mystery. 'Maybe he glued them close' she wondered. Fuji, the tensai that he was, felt her eyes on his (eyelids) and open his eyes just to amuse her (mostly himself), just to see what her reaction would be.
Her eyes widened (as his opened), revealing those blue orbs, they were intense and yet gentle a weird unlikely mixture, if felt like her soul was getting pierced and yet she couldn't take her eyes off of them. Fuji on the other hand was surprised as well. When almost everyone retaliated or shivered with fear when they saw his eyes, she just looked curious and stared him straight through them, watching with a childish fascination. A one in a million girl. She had took a step forward, a dangerous step with meaning, to get a better look at those mysterious sapphire orbs, only seeing his eyes and not the ever so slight blush on his cheeks as she took her step.
