“Hurray~ This is the first day I’m becoming a High School
Student~” Rie cheered to her heart’s content. Finally, Rie has reached 16, and
she will enrol Shutoku High School with her older brother, Shintarou, Midorima
Shintarou. When she was preparing herself for school, Shintarou called for her.
“Hurry up! Or I’ll leave you behind and you have to go to school all by
yourself”. Rie was in a hurry when she heard her brother said that until she
almost tripped herself down the stairs. As she reached the dining table, she
gobbled up her food. Her attitude was seen by her brother, “Rie….can you eat
more slowly?? You’ll -…” before Shintarou could finish his sentence, Rie choked
on her food that she ate. “NIICHAN!!! W-WA….T…ER...”. Shintarou passed her a
glass of water. He sighed “I didn’t even get to finish my sentence and you
already choked on your food, Rie” After Rie finished up her breakfast, she said
“What you said there is a PRAYER, In this case, I blame you, niichan. So, you have to wash my plates~” Rie smirked.
Shintarou took the morning paper and smacked her head with it “That’s very
‘clever’ of you~ That’s just an excuse so don’t mention my name, wash it
yourself”
“Oww~! That hurts, you’re so uncool, niichan” Rie rubbed her
head. “Say what you want to say, we’re already late” Shintarou left his plates
on the dining table. “Niichan! Who wants to wash these plates!? ”. Shintarou
wore his shoes as he said “Just leave them there, I’ll wash them when we get
back”, Rie was touched when her brother offered himself to wash their plates.
They stepped out from their house. As Rie had expected, her brother’s partner,
Takao, will always wait in front of their house to go to school together. Her
brother’s partner is also Rie’s first love-at-first sight. Rie thought to
herself as she smiled slightly, “Yes!! Takao Kazunari! Finally I’ll get to
study in the same school as him and he’ll be my senior!! Is this a dream?!”
My friends told me that Bakao (Takao’s nickname given by
Rie) and my brother are weirdos because they always bring along weird stuffs
with them, well…actually those weird stuffs that my brother always carries with
him was actually his lucky item that was told by Oha-Asa, the daily horoscope
programme. My brother believes that bringing those stuffs will bring him good
fortune (much more like feng-shui). Bakao always brings his cart along every
day and everywhere he went, my brother as his passenger. I never thought that
this era would still have a cart, oh well~ might as well appreciate the
artistry of a bygone era ~ Besides, that had actually made him special. He’s
willing to do anything for my brother, anyone would be so lucky to have him as
a spouse.
It’s strange to see that Bakao didn’t bring his cart today.
I wonder why? Just as Rie was about to ask Takao…but…”EH?!WHERE DID THEY GO?!
@A@lll I WAS LEFT BEHIND?!” Rie ran until she bumped into someone. “I’m sorry”
she apologized to the guy without looking at his face. Rie saw his school
uniform by accident. “Wasn’t this is Kaijo High School’s uniform? School for
idols and geniuses…” The guy earlier replied “EH?! Aren’t you Riecchi??
Midorima Rie??” Rie startled because she had heard his voice somewhere
before…when she looks up to his face…It’s just like what she thought. The guy
that she bumped into was named Kise Ryouta, the famous model that was shown on
TV and also in magazines. Kise is quite good- looking, no wonder he is a model
at such a very young age. Even though he’s good looking, that didn’t attract
Rie at all, because he’s not her type.
“It’s bad luck bumping into you today, Kise…” Rie gave him
an uneasy look on her face” Kise cries out (he’s totally faking it on
purpose)”Riecchi~! How could you~! Huk3. ..You’re indeed Midorimacchi’s little
sister, being a Tsundere. For you maybe it’s bad luck, but for me it’s good
luck-ssu! Today’s the first year’s grand ceremony, right?” Rie answered with pride
“Yup, and I’m officially a Shutoku High School student” Kise grabbed her hand
and said “Come on, I’ll take you to your new school”. Rie accepted Kise’s offer
for bringing her to her new school with a big smile on her face. But, that
smile didn’t last long. Kise had tricked
her. She thought that he was bringing her to Shutoku High, instead, he brought
her to Kaijo High. “WHAT IS THIS?! YOU TRICKED ME!! YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU’RE
TAKING ME TO SHUTOKU!! NOT KAIJO!!” Kise chuckled. “Eh? Did I say something like
that?? If I’m not mistaken, I told you
that I’m bringing you to your new school, I didn’t mention WHICH school~”
Rie felt the presence of 2 more figures walked up behind
her. When she turned around, there’s 2 guys with muscular body and their height
were just around Kise’s. One of them spoke “Oi Kise! Is this the girl you’re
talking about??” Kise replied right after he was asked by the guy. “Hai,senpai~
this is the girl that I told you about~ Our new manager, Midorima Rie” Rie was
surprised to hear that. “WHAT MANAGER? !
WHEN DID I SAY THAT I WANT TO BE YOUR MANAGER?! ” The guy before patted
her shoulder as he said, “I’m conveying my thanks to you, I’m so touched that a
cute girl like you would offer yourself to be our manager. With this let me
introduce myself. I’m Moriyama Yoshitaka. I’m a 3rd year this year. It’s nice
to meet you” He then shook Rie’s hand.” Oh, I forgot. This guy here is
Kasamatsu Yukio, our club’s captain. He was supposed to be a 4th year this
year, but he failed his final exam last year, so he have to repeat another
year” Moriyama introduced the other guy that was beside him. “Oh poor
Kasamatsu-senpai because he didn’t passed his final exam-ssu! “ Kise made a sad
face. Kasamatsu’s face reddened as he yelled, “OI! I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE
SAYING THAT TO ME!!” Then he kicked Kise. “ Senpai ! Why is it only me who gets
it?!” Kise always got bullied by his seniors, well, not only just his seniors,
but he had been a target since middle school by the other members of GoM.
As the three of them were still engrossed in their
arguments, this is my chance to flee away. Rie tiptoed backwards slowly.
Without her realizing, she bumped into someone once again. Rie turned her head
around slowly. The guy’s face looks like an extreme monkey. The guy said “MISS~
YOU’RE SO CUTE! PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!” Kise turned his around and look where
the voice came from. “Oh, Hayakawa-senpai, Ohayo~” There were full of WH-
questions playing in Rie’s head. Rie fled away towards Kaijo without her realizing,
entering the school compound. “NOOOOO” Kise called her out” RIECCHI!!! WAIT!!”
Seeing that, Kasamatsu took out an order, saying “You guys, we have to chase
her back, if not she’ll fall into other club’s traps! We’ll lose our manager in
seconds!” All of the members of Kaijo Basketball Team replied in unison “OK
BOSS!!!”
As Rie ran, she glanced back and saw the whole Kaijo
Basketball Team was chasing her. “OMG!!!! WHY ARE THEY CHASING ME?! I’m so dead if I get caught!” She ran as fast
as she could. Kise called out for her “Riecchi!!! Wait!!!” “She’s too fast, as
expected from our Manager” Moriyama blurted out, “Oh, Midorima-chan~ Why are
you running away from us?” Hayakawa called her out as well” MISS~!”
There were so many seniors promoting their club, as it was
too much of an obstacle for Rie to run faster. Then she saw an empty room as
she hid herself in that room and locked the door. After that she heard Kise’s
voice “Eh? Where did Riecchi go??” “Maybe she’s in this room?” Moriyama said as
he pointed to the empty room which Rie was currently hiding inside. Rie was shivering in fear because she thought
that she’ll get caught by those members of Kaijo Basketball Team. “I’m so dead
if they found me”. Just then Moriyama tried to open the door as Kasamatsu tried
to stop him from opening it. ”OI! Look at the sign! What room is this?” Kise
read “Girl’s Locker Room…EEH?!” Moriyama stopped for a while, “Kasamatsu….Why
are you stopping me from seeing a very nice view” Kasamatsu blurted out firmly,
“DON’T SPOIL OUR CLUB’S NAME!!!”
After that, they left. Rie sighed in relief.. “Finally they
left… Today is too tiring….” She sat down for a while “Just now they said that
this is the girl’s locker room…maybe I should change my clothes so that they
wouldn’t recognize me”. She then changed into Kaijo High’s uniform and kept her
Shutoku High’s uniform inside her bag. ”This is for your own good, Rie” she
told herself. As she had expected, the members of Kaijo’s Basketball Team
didn’t recognize her, since she pretended to walk alongside a group of female
Kaijo students.
As Rie was walking alone, she saw a few number of students
crowding around the school’s dashboard. Rie walked over to read it. There were
lists of name and classes on the school’s dashboard. “Oh, there’s no way that
my name would be in those lists, ahaha~” Just then she noticed a name, a VERY
familiar name that was written “Midorima Rie”. Rie was shocked. “W-WHAT!? MY
NAME’S IN HERE?! NO WAY!!!” A girl suddenly appeared behind her as she said” So
we’re in the same class” The girl smiled sweetly as she introduced herself” I’m
Eunri Hanagisa. You can call me Hana, Yoroshiku” “Well…. I’m Midorima Rie….you
can just call me Rie….b-but I think that they’re having a mistake there….” Rie
still could believe that her name was there in the list.
Suddenly someone placed his hands on Rie’s shoulder “Nope,
there are no mistakes in that class list” Rie turned around and saw Kise was
smiling innocently “What did you do? Why Am I in this school?” Kise chuckled,
“I asked the school’s authorities to put your name here since I’ve burnt your
eligibility letter to Shutoku High by accident. Hahahahaha~ So I wanted to make
up for it~” Rie froze. “Why…? Why didn’t you tell me earlier??” Kise replied
without a doubt “How can I explain because Riecchi ran away before I could”.
Rie lost her energy right away as she heard that “Why….why?”
School period was over. Rie arrived home , looking quite not
too energetic. “Tadaimasu….” “Okaeri” a reply was heard, as Shintarou was seen
in an apron as he walked over towards Rie. “Where have you been? You didn’t
show up at the 1st year’s ceremony today” Rie sighed. “I did…. But not in
Shutoku.” Shintarou still didn’t get what she’s saying. She then told him
everything that happened on that day from the very beginning. “HOW DARE YOU
KISE?!!” “Well, if you’re angry, it’s no use, Nii-chan…Nothing will change.
I’ve already become a Kaijo student. Rie felt like crying. Shintarou thought
for a while “If you don’t want to go to Kaijo…. You could just go to Seirin”
Rie looked up as she stared at her brother, still didn’t understand the
message. “Meaning?? I don’t get it…” Shintarou pressed his cellphone button. “I
heard that the 1st year ceremony in Seirin is tomorrow, because they always
start the ceremony a day later than other schools” Rie thought for a bit,
“Chotto…. Wasn’t Seirin High is a bit too far from our house???” Shintarou kept
quiet for a while. “Forget it then… Rie, stay where you are at Kaijo” “Nii-chan! How could you?! QAQ” Rie made a
childish reaction once she heard her brother’s comment. “If that’s the case…
Let me ask you, Rie. Did you bring your lucky item for today?” Rie froze.
“Err…..What’s my lucky item for today??” Shintarou walked away “ Don’t say
anything when you’re the one who didn’t
bring it” Rie went to her emo corner “ Looks like I have to endure it for 2
years…” OTL….
