Chapter 1
Kaoru's POV
I was sitting under my favorite spot, under the blooming sakura tree, minding my own business when suddenly my best friend ever, Enishi came running to me with a skateboard under his arms.
He is looking great as usual, with his baggy yet stylish black and white t-shirt with weird gothic symbols on it, his pierced left ear with a silver earring, his baggy blue denim torn on the knees, his cool sunglasses, his spiky black hair and his Nike shoes. Yet today he is panting, from running away from something.
"Kaoru, run! Kenshin is coming with my sis!" he yelled at me. That statement made me stood up quickly and I threw the cigarette I was puffing on the ground, stomping on it frantically. I wouldn't want to burn this whole school down. I turned in time to see at the scene of prefects running across the field with an evil glint in their eyes.
"Kaoru! No smoking in school! You are going to pay for this!" Kenshin yelled at me, running with astonishing speed towards us. Behind him, is the head of the disciplinary board of the school prefect organization, Tomoe Yukishiro.
I looked at Enishi who jumped on his skateboard and tried to pull me along with him. Yes, she is Enishi's sister, completely opposite in every way. They shared the normal relationship between sisters and brothers. What I mean is, they hate each other's gut.
"Enishi, you are not going to get away from this" Tomoe growled at her brother. He stuck a tongue out and he grabbed my arms hard, tugging it. I looked at him and smiled and we took off from the two furious prefects. They ran till they came to the dead end, the closed school gate. We exchanged a mischievous look between us, knowing what each other were thinking. This gate is not going to stop us.
"Kaoru, please stop. This is the last day of this semester! You wouldn't want to spend your precious time here climbing a gate," Tomoe said exasperatedly.
"You might just as surrender and we may consider to give you guys a lesser punishment" Kenshin said.
Kenshin and Tomoe finally caught up with us. They are blocking our way. The only choice for us now is to climb the 1-meter high metal gate. Enishi and I smiled and quickly climbed the gate. It's not that difficult anyway, we have too much training with this gate anyway.
Kenshin saw us halfway up the gate and he rolled his sleeves up. He rubbed his hands together and grabbed the gate with both hands. Tomoe looked at him, horrified. I looked at him, astonished. Enishi looked at him, gleefully.
"Kenshin! Are you going to do what I think you are?" Tomoe said shrilly.
"Yeah he is sis. Even though you are uptight and bossy doesn't mean others can't loosen up and enjoy them self" Enishi shouted, he is sitting on the gate, holding my right hand, pulling me up.
"Young man, you, on the other hand are in deep trouble!" she yelled back. Kenshin is started to crawl up the gate. He is getting nearer. I begin to frantically climb the gate as fast as I could.
"Oh my, I am shaking! Are you going to tell mommy about this, you snitch?" he stuck a tongue out at his sister. I saw her jaws dropped open in anger.
"You-"she snarled as she too begin to grab the gate.
"Sis, you can't climb this gate, you are wearing skirts" Enishi said pointedly.
"Who said I am going to?" she said pleasantly as she begins to shake the gate as hard as she could. Enishi dropped his skateboard with a loud clank on the other side of the fence.
"Tomoe, stop, I'm slipping down !" Kenshin yelled as he grabbed my ankle. I kicked him as hard as I could. He lost his grip on the gate, but hung on for dear life on my feet. I shook my feet and he dropped on the ground, along with my shoe. Enishi got me up and we both jumped on the other side of the fence, landing on the soft green weed, cushioning our fall.
Enishi grabbed his skateboard and look at the damage. A deep ugly scratch is clearly seen on his precious skateboard. He looked at his sister who's standing on the other side of the fence, eyes narrowed in anger, snarling fiercely. He loves his skateboard more than his sister, apparently.
"You are going to pay for this!" he yelled as he pulled me away from the furious prefects. I turned to look at the seething prefects and smirked. The fury on both of their faces somehow gave me satisfaction. I walked away Enishi with only one shoe on my feet. This is the last day of the school semester, and I left school with style. I could feel myself glowing with pride.
Kaoru's POV
Enishi is looking at me strangely. I glared at him back. We were walking to the school together, the routine every time the school starts after the holidays. He is sporting a new hairdo; he just streaked his hair with white. He said it is just a temporary dye; it'll wash away in 4 washes. I am relieved; he looked horrible with this hairdo, and he reminds me of an old grandpa living across my house.
"What wrong with you?" I asked him.
"What's wrong with you? You are wearing a skirt!"
I looked down at the prudish skirt I'm wearing and perfectly ironed prim blouse and grimaced. I have to wear this, because I accidentally promised my mother that I would for the first day at school. Oh yes, today is the first day at school, after 3 week of school holiday. The last semester of this year, a new class, at the same old boring school.
"Well, I want to surprise some people."
"Well, you stunned me"
"Wait till I wear high heels and flowery blouses and makeup" I smiled at him fondly.
He pretended to choke to death. I punched him playfully. We have been friends for years now. My mother said that he is a bad influence on me, but seriously, I think I am the bad influence on him. After all he is the more calm and levelheaded one, I am more of the daredevil and reckless kid. I am the one who smokes; he hates me when I smoke.
We met when I first moved here. The other kids shunned me, and I feel depressed. The bullies sense my weakness and they preyed on me, beating me, extorting my money. Day by day, I feel I am worthless. I was tired, physically and mentally. My mother is too busy to notice my depression, and when she did, she brushed it aside, calling that as a phase teenagers go through. Sadly, I turned to drugs for my comfort, but he is the one who stopped me.
When he saw me popping yellow Valium pills in my mouth one day, he took me aside, took my pills and throws it in the drain. He looked me square in the eyes and told me I have a lot more to live for than slowly killing myself with this pills. And he showed me the fun way to live life, by being the rebel. Somehow, we both soon became close, and we are now given a grudging respect and admiration by certain students because we managed to squeeze our ways out from troubles before.
We were the well-known troublemakers of this school, and we were proud of it.
We arrived at the school and we immediately went to the notice board. We are going to see if we end up in the same class. Last year we are in different classes, but that didn't prevent us from wrecking havoc on this school. If this year we are in the same class, all hell will break loose. That would be so much fun.
"Oh my god, we are in the same class! The honor students class!" I said finally. He smiled and ruffled my hair fondly. I pouted; I hate it when he treated me like a long lost little sister, plus I have to comb my hair again.
"I guess the last minute cramming did help us a lot" Enishi said smilingly and winked at me.
Cramming huh?
The last term's test results are the thing that decided what class are we going to be in this semester. And the top students are going to be in the first class. Oh yes, last year, I studied with Enishi secretly, and look at the result. We studied our heads off for the last exam, but we try to keep it secret so that our reputation won't be tarnished. Haha, look at us now. We are among the top students! My parents are going to be proud of me. I glowed with satisfaction.
I wondered who are the nerds and the geniuses are going to share the class with us. I noticed that most of the people in this class are prefects. I recognized most of the names, I always run into them again and again for years. I suddenly noticed something. I looked at the list again, and stared at it. I read it again. This is not good. In fact this is a nightmare come true.
"Am I hallucinating or is it true Kenshin will be on the same class as us?" I finally said; he looked at the list again. His jaws dropped open.
"It's true! Not only that, my sister is too!" He finally said.
We groaned out loud. This is probably the worst news ever. Of course this news is not that weird, they are the best students in the school. Both are top scorers in exams, and both are equally active in sports and are the mastermind of the prefect's association. Enishi stopped groaning first and started to contemplate on that situation. After all, he is the person who sees things as glass-half-full, and I am the person who sees glass-half-empty.
"Let's enter our class and see if we can survive in that first" he said finally.
"Okay" I said unenthusiastically as he throw an arm across my shoulder and pulled me towards our new class.
Kenshin's POV
I was just stepping inside the school compound when I saw Tomoe. She waved at as she came nearer. I haven't seen her for weeks, since I went to a holiday at a tropical island. I guess everyone could see how tanned I am.
"Hello Kenshin, who's your holiday. You look good," she said smilingly.
I smiled back. We walked alongside together, heading to the see the list where everyone is sorted into a new class.
"Great, how are you? What have your brother done this time?" I said jokingly.
Immediately her face changed, from a friendly face to the aggressive façade by the mere mention of her brother. They have always been bitter enemies, they claim wanting to murder each other, but I personally think the love each other deep down inside. They just share a love-hate relationship. Tomoe shook her head violently.
"The mere though of my brother gives me a headache. Do you believe that in the holidays he snuck out in the middle of the night to be with his friends and my parents didn't notice a thing? When I accused him of sneaking out to be with his skater buddies he denied it with style and I am the one who got scolded by my parents, saying I am unfair of accusing him that and bla bla bla. How unfair is that?" she said, sulkingly. I nodded.
"What it is with some people that think they can break the rules and get away with it?" I said. I hate rule breakers. Partly because I am raised by my father, a military officer. He always said that discipline and rules are important. Partly because I think that rules are meant to be obeyed, not to be broken. And I expect that everyone followed those teachings. And the ones who break rule as easy as they breathe annoyed me greatly.
We arrived at the destination and we read the list quietly. We are in the first class, and it's no shock, because they were sorted according to the last term's tests. Since Tomoe are the genius of this school, and I always studied with her, we always have the best results ever.
"I can't believe it! Enishi and Kaoru are in the same class as ours!" she burst out loudly. Most of the other student heard her outburst and looked at her strangely. She blushed prettily.
I raised an eyebrow and read the whole list again. She is right; they are in the same class as ours! But they have been failing tests since the day they stepped in this school. What kind of sorcery they have done to get high marks in their last test? A very troublesome thought entered my mind, but it can't be true... They can't stoop that low…
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" she said slowly, trying to find the right words to express what we both are suspecting Kaoru and Enishi have done.
"They cheated on that test," I said under by breath. She widened her eyes a bit when she heard me said that.
"We have to confront them about this" She said. I nodded. For once, they have stepped over the line for too many times. They have to be stopped.
