Chapter One

In the town of Ishimiro resides hundreds of residents. There are people of all kinds of lifestyle backgrounds; children, adults, and even veterans. It is a quaint little town with plenty of things to do. There is a mall, a few schools, a park, and many vast wonders of opportunities to preform during the day. Yet today, we focus on one particular building, the town's own high school. The old two story brick building's name, is Mitadake High.

The bell had just rang for the first morning classes to begin. The sun sat in the blue sky, shining its brightness on the town below. "Wait!" a boy's voice frantically called as he ran from his house to the school. His bag loosely slung over his shoulder and his blue uniform a wrinkled mess. His black, bushy hair bounced in the wind as he ran as fast as he could to get to the education center.

"He's late again." Stated a voice from a group of two girls and one boy, that were standing at the front of the building. The voice came from a girl with long, purple hair that was tied in a ponytail behind her head. Her shoulder bag's strap was in her hand while the bag rested on the concrete stairs in front of the group.

"Maybe he has a good reason Hii-chan..." Uttered the shy girl with long red hair, standing in the group with her pack on both of her shoulders, tightly pressed against her back.

"Sleeping in..." The purple haired girl, Hita, paused. "...does not count as a good reason!" She yells from the stairs. Her expression and tone giving off her sense of anger towards her missing companion.

The boy next to them with silver, spiky hair chuckled lightly, gently setting his hand on the red head's shoulder. "Don't worry Rei, Hita's just in one of her moods this morning." His playfulness would only cause to be trouble for him.

Hita turned to him and snarled furiously, "What'd you say about me Hiroshi?" At this point she was extremely angry.

"Ahh! N-nothing!" He stuttered, stepping back and softly shaking from fear of his boyish comrade.

Not only is Hita a big tomboy, but when she's angry, she can get really scary in Hiroshi's perspective. She brutally decked him into the concrete with little care to Hiroshi's well being, "That's what I thought you said!"

Rei put her fingers to her lips, slightly terrified, as she gasped meekly. Moments later the black haired boy arrived at the building. He was nearly out of breath from his sprint, but luckily he made it only a few seconds before he would be considered late.

"Ahh! Stop it Hita!" Hiroshi yelled, slightly curled while he clutched his stomach in sheer pain.

Hita coldly ignored him and kept harshly kicking him in the side even though he'd already had enough blood trickling off his face from meeting the pavement.

"Did I come at a bad time?" The black haired boy curiously asked while looking in their direction. He was confused and unsure if he wanted to know what had happened before he arrived.

Hita viciously turned to the black haired boy's voice as her eyes became inflamed, "Shinji!" She was so mad, she was getting tempted to strangle him.

"Oh crap!" Shinji immediately took off running into building as Hita chased him, her booming voice could still be heard on the outside. "You make me late to class - one more time - Shinji, I swear!"

Rei walked over and helped Hiroshi up tentatively, and they followed the other two at a normal pace. They arrived at class later and calmly sat down in their seats. Shinji gently rubbed his face with his head rested on the cool desk while in pain. This was actually rather a daily routine for Shinji and Hita.

The students' first class of the day, Literature.

"All right students..." Their teacher, Koniji-san, briefly called from behind her desk located at the front of the room, "Pass yesterday's homework assignments up to the front of the class." She was one of the more strict teachers who preferred structure and rules. This means handing in assignments on time.

"Aww man!" the thought painfully echoed in Shinji's head, "I forgot about my homework again! Not good! If my parents find out this time! I'll be dead!" He held tightly pressed his hands against his temples for a moment in an attempt to calm himself.

All the papers were passed forward as Koniji-san accurately revised them after she received them all. "Now I told you Ken!" She scolded, looking down at the scraggly, red haired boy whose bangs covered his face, "This was supposed to be a personal essay, about your summer vacation! Not more poetry!"

"Yes ma'am." Ken blankly replied and nodded while looking at another paper on his desk Even after being told not to, he began writing another poem onto the blank page.

"As expected..." The instructor sighed, roughly sitting back down in her chair, "Hita was the only one to get a perfect grade."

The rest of the class groaned in protest as Hita turned to them all and smirked. She put a finger directly under her right eye and pulled the skin down, tauntingly sticking out her tongue at the others and making a cocky face.

"Damn!" Hiroshi yells, angrily slamming his fists on his desk, "I worked so hard on that!"

Koniji-san glares at him. He'd actually only written five pages of "I really like Koniji-san's class." Trying to bribe the teacher so poorly wasn't too bright of him.

"Heh-heh..." He lightly blushed and scratched the back of his head, his face getting redder by the minute from embarrassment.

"Also for your language you get detention..." The teacher states while looking back at the papers.

"Aww, damn it!" He shouts.

"Two weeks." She says calmly, her eyes locked onto the paper.

"Gyaah!" He yells, slamming his face on his own desk.

Later the class was instructed to start working on another assignment.

"Hey Hiroshi," Shinji whispers to him.

"Yeah, what is it?" He replies quietly.

"I think this is the day... The day I ask Yuki to be my girlfriend!" He quickly glances at the girl with long green hair on the other side of the room, accidentally raising his voice.

The teacher looks up from her magazine and glances at them like a hawk stalking its prey. The two boys go back to their work as she looks back at the article.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Hiroshi mockingly scoffs.

"Hey, she does so like me!" Shinji snaps, "She's liked me since third grade. I remember it like it was yesterday."

"She asked you for a pencil..." Hiroshi claimed, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Oh shut up." Shinji replied. "She could have asked just anybody!"

"I think you should get with Hita. You know how she acts more optimistic when you're around." Hiroshi announced as his face returns to its normal color normal.

Shinji laughed at him.

The teacher glances at them again sharply, "Is something funny Shinji?"

"N-No ma'am." He replies, frightened.

Koniji-san looks back at the magazine again.

"Come on! Be serious!" Shinji starts, "Hita's always so angry. She's a really good friend, but she and I are just friends."

"Whatever you say." Hiroshi shakes his head and focuses on his assignment.

"Shiniji! Hiroshi!" The teacher yells angrily, "Detention today! That's final!"

Hita, who was sitting in front of them both, and for once not working, had her head down silently. She glanced at her lap so the shadows of her bangs would hide her face. A single gleaming tear dripped off her face as her breathing became heavier than before. She was shaking some as she tightly clenched a fist. The pencil in her hand snapped from unnecessary pressure. The reason why she did this, was because she had heard every word the two boys had just said.

Class ended a bit later as the group exited the classroom. Shinji, Hiroshi, and Rei were waiting as Hita gathered her things. Hita savagely shoved her books and other things into her shoulder pack, trying to keep herself calm.

"Hey, Hita! We got time between classes you want to-?" Shinji started mentioning as she angrily walked pass them to her locker down the hall.

"What's wrong with Hii-chan?" Rei quirked, curiously looking at them.

The two boys lightly shrugged as the three of them followed their friend Hita. Hita stood at her locker exchanging some things. Silently approaching from behind her like a shark, was a boy with short purple hair.

"Well, hello there!" He stupidly grinned, nonchalantly walking up to Hita. He sought an advantage he didn't want to lose this time; getting a pretty girl.

"Get lost Noko, you pervert!" She crisply growled and kept exchanging her things. The most noticing thing about Hita, besides her soft purple hair, was her large and endowed chest, which is exactly why Noko liked her. The others walked up, Hita caught them coming from the corner of her eye, that didn't bother her. What did was when she saw Shinji. She then grabbed Noko and pulled his face into her chest. "Oh yes! Yes Noko, I will go out with you!" She exclaimed loudly, trying to catch Shinji's attention.

"Ehh..." Shinji muttered as he saw what was going on.

The other two looked as equally as disturbed.

"Nothing can separate us!" she happily exclaimed with a falseness to her words. "As long as..." she paused, "My friend Shinji doesn't have anything to say about it..." she lightly glanced at him from her eyes' corners trying not to look too obvious.

"Nah, not really." Shinji replied, looking at Noko and Hita, "As long as it makes you happy, Hii-chan."

"What...?" she gently whispered, starting to tear up in her eyes as she shut them and carelessly shoved Noko back into a set of lockers. Those words crushed her. She felt glad to know he wanted her to be happy, but he didn't understand that he was what made her happy. Fleeing to the girls' bathroom, she began weeping like mad.

Noko staggered back, as a result his head heavily banged againstl the lockers behind him and he slid to the floor. "Oww!" he shrieked, holding his head, "What just happened...?"

"Hita!" Shinji yelled after her as he and his two friends followed him.

Once they got to the bathrooms, the bell for the next classes immediately rang. "Damn!" Shinji said under his breath as he gritted his teeth in anger.

"There's nothing we can do now, let's just get to class." Hiroshi affirmed as he started walking off, "I'll see you at lunch guys!"

Rei nodded to Hiroshi, turning around and walking down the hall to her next class.

Shinji walked to the stairwell as he slowly ascended to the second floor."What did I do?" he consulted himself as he walked to his next class.
