New Transfer Student! - "I Ain't Going Down With You!"

"I heard we're getting a new transfer student today." A girl said

"Oh, really a guy? Or a girl?"

"I heard it's a guy," A male student said

At that most of the males in the class lost all interest.

"Did you finish your homework?"

"Yeah, but you can't copy it."

"Try to show some interest guys."

The girls on the other hand were abuzz about the new male student.

"I hope he's hot."

"My horoscope says I'm going to find love today."

"They are too interested. You're getting your hopes up for transfer students or have you forgotten the last travesty?"

"Oh, come on Saiki, after Reita, how bad could this new guy be?"

"Don't jinx it."

The classroom door slid open as a teacher entered the room.

"Everyone, take a seat. I would like to introduce you all to our new transfer student. Come in."

All of the girls, minus a select few, sat up straighter in their seats, putting on their best smiles as they excitedly awaited the reveal of the new student.

All of their hopes were crushed as in walked a pretty plain looking guy, now all the girls wore the same bland look like the males of the class.

"~He seems gloomy.~"

"~He's so-so.~"

"Please introduce yourself." The Teacher said

The guy grabbed a piece of chalk writing his name on the board. Everyone blinked as they saw what he wrote on the board.

The new student seemed to not notice what he had written as he bowed to the class.

"My name is Aren Kuboyasu. I moved here from Ibaraki-"

Kuboyasu looked at the board and flipped, seeing he had written "Aren Kuboyasu was here".

"Oh no!" He picked up a chalkboard eraser quickly erasing the last part. "Sorry old habit. Forget I just did that."

When he turned back around he was surprised to find most of his classmates were giving him cheery and welcoming smiles.

"It's nice to meet you, Kuboyasu."

"Oh Cool, sup homies?" Kuboyasu said

"What's up homie?" A guy laughed

"Hahaha, you're funny!" Someone from the back said

"New kids seems like a pretty interesting guy huh?" Kaidou commented

"If only he was just interesting"

"Wait?" Lotus looked over her shoulder at Kaidou "Why are you up out of your seat standing behind us?"

"So, the transfer student is a former street punk huh?

Saiki had gotten the down low on Kuboyasu as he psychicly spied on the transfer student from a bathroom stall. The former biker gang leader was trying to turn over a new leaf but that proved to be a difficult task.

Lotus stood next to Saiki as they watched Kuboyasu walk down the hall, another male student coming from the opposite direction.

"~He must be the new transfer student.~"

While the other guy smiles at him, Kuboyasu's face twisted in this angry scowl.

"Hey what do you think you're looking at!"

Kuboyasu quickly realized what he was doing and stopped.

"He's going to have a tough time turning over a new leaf."

"~I forgot goody-goodies don't get into fistfights because they make eye contact with somebody.~"

"His first reaction to direct eye contact is a fistfight?"

Kuboyasu continued down the hall and ended up brushing shoulders with Takahashi.

"Oh sorry my bad," Takahashi said

Takahashi kept walking, so he didn't see Kuboyasu lift a fire extinguisher over his head with the intent of knocking Takahashi out with it.

!?

Kuboyasu put the fire extinguisher down.

"~Crap! Goody goodies don't whack each other with fire extinguishers just because they brush shoulders.~"

"I don't think delinquents would either."

Kuboyasu sped faster down the hallways.

"~I can't do anything it feels like I'm tied to a leash!~"

"That's because before you were running wild."

"Hey, new kid!"

Kuboyasu turned over his shoulder and came face to face with Nendou.

~Huh? Who the hell is this guy? A punk? And a real tough one at that.~"

Kuboyasu took off his glasses and started to unbutton his uniform jacket preparing for a brawl.

"~Okay I guess I got some time to kill.~"

Suddenly all the fury in his eyes died and the deadly aura died along with it. He put his glasses back on quickly buttoning up his uniform.

"~No way! I ain't going down with you!"

"He's the easily triggered type, but it looks like he's got some form of self-restraint."

"Huh? So we ain't doing this?" Nendou asked confused

"Is...Nendou trying to start a fight?"

"~Oh no, I talked like a punk without even realizing it.~"

"Don't tell me your chicken?" Nendou laughed

This caused Kuboyasu to snap his head at Nendou, veins angrily throbbing in both his cheek and forehead.

"What'd you say?" Kuboyasu said

"I guess it's only natural that you'd back down. I may not look it, but I am a punk."

"~Well if you look like that and weren't some kind of punk you'd be an idiot.~"

"That's exactly what he is."

"I've mellowed out now but I used to do some pretty crazy stuff back in the day," Nendou said

"Why is he talking like some old man reminiscing about his youthful days?"

"~Are we trading war stories now? Bring it.~"

"Yeah? Like what kind of stuff?" Kuboyasu asked

"The worst thing that I've ever done is chase mosquitoes with a mosquito coil. There was another time when I did eat a whole watermelon by myself. I was totally out of control."

Kuboyasu stared blankly at Nendou, a common reaction the tall male induced.

"See he's just an idiot."

Nendou put a hand on Kuboyasu's shoulder giving him a thumbs up, "Hang in there kiddo!"

Kuboyasu's face twisted even more, veins throbbing in several places on his face now and even his eyes had red veins of anger.

Now in an even fouler mood, Kuboyasu stomped his ways down the halls.

"~That wannabe punk pisses me off! The old me would have torn him to shreds in seconds. Damn it! Dudes who brag about how bad they are just posers. I can teach him that personally.~"

"Do that and you'll be outed as a punk."

"~At least I didn't start a fight back there.~"

"That's true I was impressed."

"I was as well especially since not even a few seconds ago he almost knocked someone out with a fire extinguisher."

Kuboyasu continued on, turning a corner. "~A real man picks a course of action and sticks to it.~"

He smiled proud of himself but that didn't last too long when he saw what was happening in the adjacent hallway.

Kongo had a poor much smaller male student cornered threatening him... Oh, wait that boy is Kitaro!

Kitaro had his small body pressed against the wall Kongo looming over him. His legs were shaking but his face was twisted in this odd expression.

"~I'm scared but I won't let it show!~"

Oh, that odd look was him trying to hide his fear, it was working somewhat, but it just made the poor kid look constipated.

"Hand it over already." Kongo sensed someone else nearby and looked to his left and saw Kuboyasu. "Hey, what are you looking at? Beat it!"

With Kongo dismissing Kuboyasu, he looked back down at his victim.

"Now hurry up and hand it over," Kongo threatened Kitaro.

Kitaro shook his head, "N-No, I won't." He stuttered out.

"Wow, Kitaro. He sure has developed one heck of a backbone."

"That's brave but also dangerous."

Kitaro walked past Kongo and it seemed like he was going to ignore the entire situation, but he was just going for a weapon.

"What?"

Kongo turned to his right to see Kuboyasu holding a locker over his head, unbridled rage plastered on his face.

"I'm going to tear you to shreds! Act like trash in front of me you get treated like trash! I'll show you who the boss is!"

Kongo's screams rang through the halls.

"Like I said people don't change overnight."

Kongo's fallen form twitched beneath the locker that had crushed him.

Kuboyasu faced Kitaro, "You saw nothing, got it?"

"Got it!" Kitaro squeaked

"~Hey wait a minute…haven't I seen this girly boy before?~"

Kitaro scooted around Kuboyasu then took off down the hall before he could further study him.

"We can overlook this incident can't we Saiki?"

"Yeah guess so."
