Chapter 4: Seika High

It was a clear Thursday evening as orange and red leaves began to fall. Misaki was back home, eating dinner with Suzuna. That guy… He really is something. She wandered off in her thoughts. That day, he had saved her from being hit by a truck. He seemed...worried about her. But how can he? Misaki was only someone he had known for about thirty minutes, and he was risking his life to save some commoner like her.

She thanked him for saving her. And the creepy thing was that the truck didn't even leave a single scratch on him. It's not like he was a superhuman alien or something, or was he?

After the incident, she realized that the boy had drove her back to the market where she bought her groceries. Misaki was stunned and eyed the creepy blonde. She called him a stalker. The boy just laughed and pointed to her grocery bag. Misaki felt embarrassed and felt blood rise to face. Before she realized, she was blushing. The guy smirked and teased her. Misaki walked away while saying goodbye forever to the creepy alien.

"Sis," Suzuna called.

"What?" Misaki snapped out of her thoughts.

"You're blushing. Do you have a secret boyfriend that you are too embarrassed to tell me about? You've been daydreaming like that for a couple days already." Suzuna teased.

"What?! Suzuna! What are you talking about? You know I have no time for something like that."

"But… Sissy is in her teenage years right? I think you should go out more."

"Oh come on Suzuna, I'd rather get another job down at the market than waste my time on those things." It was true, Misaki had spent all her time working and never really had any friends. The conversation ended and they continued to eat their curry rice silently.

"So… You really don't have a boyfriend?" Suzuna suddenly asked again.

Misaki mentally face-palmed herself. Leave it to her little sister to tease her for the rest of the week about this new hot topic - dating.


Misaki stepped into the huge gates of Seika High. The elite school made for the most talented and gifted. Of course, most of this school's students were rich snobs, but who cares? As long as she graduated from this school, get accepted into a good college, and BAM! There's her awesome career.

Misaki straightened her yellow skirt and green jacket. She held her head high and took a deep breath before walking into the huge school building.


"W-12," Misaki muttered to herself. Seika High was... big. No, huge. So large you need to ride in a golf cart to get to place to place. The school was separated into four sections, North, East, South, and West. Most classes that were mathematical and related to math were located at the West wing; science labs and computer rooms were at South wing; history, literature, composition, and speech were at North; and extra curriculum activities were located at the East wing.

Misaki had math for her first period. For some reason it was math 10, she had remarkable grades and totally beat the placement test, therefore, the school put her her a year ahead.

She wandered around, looking for the W-12, her math classroom, confused with the map she received. She was staring at the map again and again until she bumped into a girl.

"I am so sorry!" She apologized. She prepared herself for a scolding or an insult or two, but it never came. She looked up.

The girl she bumped into was a bubbly, optimistic girl with long, curly, and bright pink pigtails. She was in her perfectly ironed Seika uniform and had a huge smile on her face.

"Are you alright?" She asked kindly. Misaki nodded slowly. She did not know how to deal with people. She just...naturally sucked at communicating with others her age.

"I haven't seen you around, are you new?" She batted her beautiful eyelashes. She must be really popular... Misaki thought. She nodded again.

"What going on here?" Another girl came to the scene. Unlike the first girl, she had short length with a pair of shiny oval shaped glasses to top it off.

"Oh, I found this new student," The first girl explained. She then dropped her tone and whispered towards the second girl, "I think she's lost." Her whisper wasn't really a whisper so even Misaki could hear her. She immediately felt embarrassed.

"Sakura, quit talking like that. You're not even whispering." The second girl pointed out.

"Oh sorry... hehe... I'm Hanazono Sakura and this is Kaga Shizuko." Sakura introduced.

Shizuko nodded.

"I'm Ayuzawa Misaki."

"So... where are you heading to right now?" Sakura chirped.

"W-12, math 10."

"Wow Shizuko! She's in the same class as us!" Sakura exclaimed. She then dragged the two with her to W-12.


It had been a week since Misaki had entered Seika, and surprisingly, she had made many new friends. Sakura and Shizuko were really nice people and helped her with many things that she didn't know about. It turned out that Sakura and Shizuko were both in year 10. Making friends with Sakura also led to another thread of friends. She never really paid attention to their conversations during breaks and lunch since all they talk about were about beauty products, shopping, and boys. They even had a fan club for four special guys. Misaki's ears hurt just by hearing another word about them.

"Misaki! What do have today?" Sakura asked as she sat down at the same table as Misaki. Shizuko walked over slowly and was complaining how Sakura nearly dropped her tray of food.

"Umm... a normal bento lunch," Misaki answered.

"Are those octopus weenies?" Sakura 's eyes were filled of excitement. Misaki looked from Sakura to her bento and then to Sakura again.

"If you want some, you can have some..." Misaki picked up one and placed on Sakura's expensive lunch.

"Really? Thanks!" Sakura happily ate the sausage.

Suddenly, the whole entire cafeteria was silent, even the creepy looking lunch lady with an ugly hairnet stopped to watch. Misaki was surprised at the sudden silence and glanced over at the direction of huge crowd. She heard some girls whispering "They're here! They actually came for lunch!"

Misaki rolled her eyes at those girls and looked back at her friends. Oh crap, not you too, Sakura. Sakura had glints of excitement in her eyes and rose from the table. Only Shizuko was calmly eating her lunch.

"What's up with Sakura?" Misaki asked Shizuko.

"Ugh... Remember how they told you about the four most popular guys in this school? Well, there's this guy that Sakura's been having a crush since... actually third grade," she whispered.

"Whoa... That's pretty long." Misaki couldn't even see any of the four figures. All she could see was a bunch of idiotic girls trying to fight to the front of the crowd. Pathetic. Misaki thought.

"Hey, Shizuko, do you-"

"No, absolutely no. My mind is set on my studies and sciences." She pushed up her glasses a little.

Misaki chuckled a little and asked, "What are these crazy people anyways?" as she could finally glimpse three tall figures in the distance.

"Tch. Don't even get me started on those four," Shizuko started. "The one on the farthest left who is waving and has untidy brown hair with a scar is Shintani Hinata. That guys really scaring. He could sniff out what you're eating even if you're miles away like a dog. He's the sporty and cute type. The silent boy with dark hair and glasses is Soutarou Kanou, nicknamed the computer genius and the hacker. It was rumored that he could hypnotize people. I don't see what's so genius about him anyways," Shizuko snorted. "The guy in the middle with light blonde hair and piercings is Sakurai Kuuga is the playboy that Sakura fell for. He's in this popular band so lots of people know him."

Misaki paused for a moment to absorb all these new information. "Wait, isn't there four guys?"

"Yes. The fourth guy... just likes to play hide-and-seek very much. He doesn't usually come to public view very much."

"Is he a hippie or just afraid of people?" Misaki asked with a serious tone.

Shizuko laughed and said, "No, he is not hippie. In fact, he's the most popular in the group. He get's first rank in exams, physical tests, and all other club activities. Plus, he has a good body and looks too. People rumor that he's perfect."

Misaki thought for a moment. So he's got good looks, rich, and grades. How can anyone be perfect?

"But, his rejections are they worse."

Alright, so basically he's a jerk. Tch.
