------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 1 "Your smile."
I sat in home room, gazing out the window from time to time. It was the beginning of my 3rd year of high school. I was mesmerized by a small bird who had been fighting with a bigger bird for some time now. Sometimes I felt like the little bird. I was snapped out of my daydreaming when I was hit in the head with something.
Mai: "Well Tsuzuki? Are you gonna play or are you gonna stare out the window all day?!"
That's my best friend Mai; she's kinda competitive when it comes to playing games. I rubbed my head a bit and glared at her.
"What's the point? I'll end up beating you and becoming the Dai Fugo once again..."
I laughed and she giggled as well. We were playing our favorite card game "Dai Hin Min". It's kind of like the American game battle.
"Fine... I'll play... this, Revolution!!!"
I held up four kings and placed them on the pile. Just as Mai was about to pout, I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
Boy: "Why do you even try Mai?"
Mai: "Ha, I never turn down a challenge, you should know that Shun!"
I turned and smiled. It was my best friend of eleven years, Shunichi Nakamura, or as his friends called him, Shun.
"Hey Shun, how's it going?"
Shun: "Meh... I'm hanging in there I guess. So I see you two are playing an excruciating round of Dai Hin Min... mind if I play?" He grinned devilishly. The only person who could beat me was him, and he knew it. He placed his hand on my head and messed my hair. "Or are you afraid I'll beat you again?"
"You're on buddy boy!" I said, faking an intimidating voice.
Shun: "How bout we make it a bit more interesting...?"
"Ok... what ya have in mind?"
Shun: "Well if you win I'll treat you and Mai at lunch, but if I win..." He moved closer to my face, I could feel his warm breath on my lips. "...you're mine..."
Mai giggled as I blushed brightly. I hated when he played around like this. Not really, but it still embarrassed the hell out of me. He loved to make jokes like that every since I came out to him and Mai our first year here. I pushed him off, although he barely moved since he was way more built than me.
"Yeah, you wish!" I said with a playful smile.
All three of us broke into laughter. We only stopped when our teacher came in and silenced the whole class.
Mr. Ito: "Alright class, as you all know this is the beginning of the school year, and all of you know what that means..." Oh great, here we go... "It's time to split up into your after school cleaning groups!" he said with a huge grin.
I hated cleaning but it was all the better that I got to hang out with Mai and Shun even more. We looked at each other and groaned.
Mr. Ito: "The principal, Ms. Haru, wants me to split you up into teams which I will be choosing." What?! "Alright now listen for your names..."
Me and the guys exchanged looks of utter terror. Neither one of us wanted to be in any other group, especially Shun. Shun had a huge anger issue with everyone except for Mai and me. This had caused him a lot of fights in the past, given that he did win them all though...
Mr. Ito: "Tsuzuki Nakamura?"
"Yes Sensei?"
Mr. Ito: "Your partner is... Ryoichi Shigenoi!"
My heart completely stopped as I turned to look at my partner. He looked at me as well and gave me a nod and a friendly smile. My heart jumped and I turned around blushing. Ryoichi, Ryo as everyone called him, was one of the most popular jocks in school. I've had such a huge crush on him since middle school, every since he stood up for me. It was in the ninth grade and we were in gym. We had just been dismissed and were in the boys' locker room. A couple of the guys surrounded me and pushed me down because I had dropped the ball during our basket ball game. Hey, it's not my fault I have no coordination what-so-ever. Anyways they were both ganging up on me when Ryo jumped in and told them to chill out. They both glared at him, then to me and decided that I wasn't worth it, thank god. Anyways, Ryo helped me up and told me to take it easy and then gave me one of his awesome smiles that always make me melt. Every since then I had dreamed of dating him, but of course he was straight. It was Mai who finally snapped me out of my thoughts.
Mai: "Uhh... you alright Ki-chan?" Ki-chan was her nickname for me, although I wasn't much younger than her.
"Huh..? Oh, yeah. Just fine." I looked off into space a bit.
Shun: "Pfft... I guess our little Suzu is all grown up and chasing boys." He said in a strangely angry tone. I knew why. Suzu hated Ryo every since he and him got into a fight about Ryo accidentally tripping him in lunch. You can say it. Shun's a bit hot headed.
Mai: "Oh great, looks like I'm stuck with Shun as my partner.." She pretended to be disappointed.
Shun put his arm around her and squeezed her playfully.
Shun: "Sorry babe, looks like you're stuck with me."
We all had another good laugh as Mr. Ito left the class to talk to another teacher. I glanced at Ryo again, and surprisingly found him staring at me. When he realized I saw him he quickly looked away and blushed a bit. I wonder if he was dreading our cleaning duty which ironically enough happened to be today.
Ryo's Point of view
It was another boring year. Ryo tried to balance his pencil on his nose. He heard giggling from across the class and looked at a small group of girls in the corner who were watching him. He sighed a bit and put the pencil back on his desk. "Fan girls..." Then he heard some one laugh. He smiled a bit to himself thinking that whoever was laughing sounded cute. He turned to see who it was coming from and saw Tsuzuki laughing with his friends. He laughed at himself a bit. Tsuzuki was a cool guy, although he didn't know him too well. He always had a cute laugh.... wait, cute? He was talking about a guy here. He shook the thought from his head when he realized he was gawking and him. Suddenly Mr. Ito walked into the room.
Mr. Ito: "The principal, Ms. Haru, wants me to split you up into teams which I will be choosing." What?! "Alright now listen for your names..."
"Great..." He thought, and sighed a bit, wishing the day would end already.
Mr. Ito: "Tsuzuki Nakamura?"
Ryo looked up after hearing Tsuzuki's name. He wondered who he'd be partnered with.
Mr. Ito: "Your partner is... Ryoichi Shigenoi!"
Ryo was relieved. He was hoping not to be partnered with one of those fan girls who'd rip him to shreds. He knew Tsuzuki wouldn't let him down. He looked at Tsuzuki who was looking back at him, nodded, and flashed him a smile. Tsuzuki smiled back and looked away. Ryo continued to glance at Tsuzuki from time to time. He has such an amazing smile... He realized at how beautiful he looked with the sun from outside hitting his face just right. He seemed like he was glowing. Wait a second? He just thought that another guy looked beautiful.... Suddenly Tsuzuki turned around and looked at him. Ryo quickly looked away and felt himself blush. What was up with him? Why couldn't he get Tsuzuki out of his mind? For some reason he had no clue why. He knew he wasn't gay. He'd never felt this way about a guy before. Well he didn't know what to expect from the future, but all he could do was wait.
Shun's Point of view
I had been late several times before and hoped that Mr. Ito wasn't in yet. As I approached the classroom, I poked my head in. "No sign of him." I sighed a sigh of relief and walked in. Immediately I spotted my friends and walked over to them. They were playing my favorite game, Dai Hin Min. Tsuzuki was beating Mai, as usual. I stopped behind Suzu.
"Why do you even try Mai?"
Mai: "Ha, I never turn down a challenge, you should know that Shun!"
I grinned as Tsuzuki turned around and smiled at me that beautiful way that always made me feel warm on the inside.
Tsuzuki: "Hey Shun, how's it going?"
Shun: "Meh... I'm hanging in there I guess. So I see you two are playing an excruciating round of Dai Hin Min... mind if I play?" I grinned devilishly. I messed up his hair a bit. "Or are you afraid I'll beat you again?"
Tsuzuki: "You're on buddy boy!" He said, trying to sound tough.
"How bout we make it a bit more interesting...?"
Tsuzuki: "Ok... what ya have in mind?"
I smiled evilly. "Well if you win I'll treat you and Mai at lunch, but if I win..." I moved closer to his face, I wanted to kiss him so badly."...you're mine..."
Mai giggled and he blushed brightly. I knew they thought I was playing. "If only he knew..."
Tsuzuki: "Yeah, you wish!" He said with a playful smile.
All three of us broke into laughter. We only stopped when Mr. Ito came in and silenced the whole class.
Mr. Ito: "Alright class, as you all know this is the beginning of the school year, and all of you know what that means..." Blah.. blah.. blah... "It's time to split up into your after school cleaning groups!" he said with a huge grin.
I groaned a bit, but if it meant spending more time with Suzu...
Mr. Ito: "The principal, Ms. Haru, wants me to split you up into teams which I will be choosing." Aw hell... "Alright now listen for your names..."
I looked at the other two and we looked like we were gonna die.
Mr. Ito: "Tsuzuki Nakamura?"
Tsuzuki: "Yes Sensei?"
Mr. Ito: "Your partner is... Ryoichi Shigenoi!"
I was angry. I absolutely hated Ryo. He thought he was so smug with his fan club all over the school. I looked at Tsuzuki who seemed kind of out of it.
Mai: "Uhh... you alright Ki-chan?" Ki-chan was her nickname for me, although I wasn't much younger than her.
Tsuzuki: "Huh..? Oh, yeah. Just fine."
This made me even more mad. I knew Tsuzuki had a crush on Ryo, and now he and Suzu were going to be here after school, alone!
"Pfft... I guess our little Suzu is all grown up and chasing boys." Ok, that was a little bitter.
Mai: "Oh great, looks like I'm stuck with Shun as my partner.." She pretended to be disappointed.
I laughed a bit and put my arm around her then squeezed her playfully.
"Sorry babe, looks like you're stuck with me."
We laughed a bit more until Tsuzuki looked back at Ryo who was... staring right back at him with a dazed look on his face!!! Oh hell no. You may wonder why I am worried about Mr. Shigenoi. Well, let's just say I know what that look means, because I give it to Tsuzuki all the time, and believe me, it isn't a look you give all your friends. If I wanted Suzu, I was gonna have to act and fast.
Special blah blah blah part one:
Well, this is my first attempt at a story. Feel free to e-mail me with creative criticism only, please. houston_dude_4488@yahoo.com
Originally my plan was to make all my characters American, but I've really gotten into the Japanese culture over the past year or so, so I decided to make it based in japan. I love a challenge!
I apologize if I offend anyone, I still don't know everything about the culture but I do learn more each day. I mean no disrespect to any traditions and such. I am just so fascinated with the culture itself.
For those who don't know, chan is a term that is usually used by older people when referring to younger people, usually children. Most Japanese school systems work like this:
Elementary School: grades 1-6 Middle School: grades 7-9 High School: grades 10-12
Basically all the main characters are seniors in high school. Mai, Shun, and Ryo are all seventeen while Tsuzuki is only seventeen.
If I have any of the information wrong, please feel free to correct me, but only if you know I am wrong for sure!
Well I hope you enjoyed, and thank you for reading. ~Robert~
