Me: I'm working on it! Now stop nagging me! Meanie!
Grace: -sigh- My idiotic friend does not own anything and never will,
Me: On with the story!
Amu's POV
I never liked moving, its always the same. Get transferred to a new school, slip up and use facade, then become annoyingly popular. No one ever liked me for who I was. They all think I'm that cool n' spicy girl they all see, but the truth is, I'm not. I'm just a normal, shy girl, but if I change my character now, no one will ever accept me for me.
I use my facade so often, it grew on me. Everyone praises my facade, my facade made me seem unapproachable, calm, and dangerous. No one ever dared to come near me. Sure, fanboys confess to me, but I know they only like me because of my looks and reputation. So I call them baka's for confessing to me and told them they were a waste of time. Cruel, I know. That's what a facade does to you.
Now were moving again. We just moved in the small town of Seiyo. I got transferred from Sakura Middle School, to here, Seiyo High School.
I was walking through the gates. People around me stared at me with either curiosity or admiration. Same old, same old. They were either curious because of my looks or my hair. People dubbed me as an unattainable beauty. I had honey gold orbs that people say as alluring and a body with curves at the right places. Personally, I don't believe them. So I would rather say they were curious about my hair.
My hair was waist-length, and it was a healthy shade of pink. It was like sakura petals. Part of my hair was held by a blue X-clip.
Maybe they were also curious about the way I wore my uniform. My black blazer was unbuttoned and my blue tie was tied loosely around my neck. I had a blue band around the arm of my blazer that was held by a safety pin and my blue checkered skirt had a chain and I wore blue leg warmers. So I looked badass.
I went to the principal's office and asked for my schedule, now all I have to do is figure out where the rooms are.
Looks like I'm in the Star Class. I went to class and waited by the door and waited for the sensei to introduce myself.
"Class, we have a new student, treat her well," I heard the sensei say.
"Is she hot?"
"Is she prettier than me?"
"Is she nice?"
"Surely she's not as pretty as me!"
"Come in, Himamori-san," Sensei said.
"Its Hinamori," I said in my cool n' spicy tone
I walked in the classroom and saw that most boys had hearts in their eyes while some girls looked at me in admiration while most girls glared at me with envy.
"Please introduce yourself to the class,"
"Hinamori Amu," I said with an expressionless face and emotionless voice.
"Cool n' Spicy!"
"She's so cool!"
"And hot too!"
"Himamori-san, please sit next to Suma-san," sensei said.
"Its Hinamori/Soma!" I and a brunette with emerald green eyes said. But he said it with more enthusiasm, I, as always, said it in a bored emotionless tone. For short, my cool n' spicy tone.
"Ahh... Gomen, Himamori-san, Suma-san," Is it just me or is he doing this on purpose? Baka...
I headed to my seat and just looked boredly at the board.
"Ohayo, class, as some of you might know, I am Nikaidou-sensei,"
While he blabbered on about stuff, I stared out the window and noticed it was raining. Greeaat. How am I supposed to get home now? I should have brought an umbrella.
I felt something poking my shoulder, ignore it Amu... Ignore it...
*Poke.
*Poke.
*Poke.
Ignore it... As much as you want to strangle the guy doing that you can't. Remember, conceal, don't feel, don't let them know...(Frozen!XD). No one is worth the aggravation.
*Poke.
That's it! I've had enough!
I turned around and the brunette, who I know as Soma, was about to poke me yet again.
"What do you want?!" I said in a low whisper so we won't attract attention. Good thing we were at the back of the class.
"Ahh... Sorry about that Hinamori," He said with a sheepish grin.
"Like I said, what do you want?" I said in my cool n' spicy tone.
"I'm Soma Kukai, but you can call me Kukai," He said with a grin.
"Is that all?" I said in a bored tone.
"Nope. Welcome to Seiyo, Hinamori,"
"Nothing else?,"
"Well I was wondering if you wanted me to show you around, well what do you say?"
"I say, thanks, but no thanks," I said.
"Come on, Hinamori, surely you can't go to classes on your own without getting lost,"
As much as I hate to admit it, he was right, I can't find my classes without getting lost. And since because of my facade, I can't ask directions, or else it would ruin my reputation. In my old school I was known to be, as you may already know, Cool n' Spicy, Calm, Dangerous, and Independent. I never asked anybody for anything. And now I realize the consequences of that. Damn.
I'm hating my facade even more.
"Fine... But you're only showing me around, nothing more. Got it?" I said, giving in.
"Of course! Just let me see your schedule!" He said happily. A little too happy. Waaiit... Smart boy.
"You're only doing this to get out of classes, aren't you?" I asked but it came out more of a statement than a question.
He just grinned sheepishly. Knew it.
"You're pretty clever aren't you?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.
"No, I'm just smarter than most people,"
"Well, Hinamori, I'm guessing you think I'm an idiot,"
"Yep, you must be used to it, because you're admitting it openly,"
"Well, Mashiro and Hoshina are very... blunt people,"
"Mashiro and Hoshina?"
"Friends of mine,"
"Really?" I said while raising an eyebrow and handing him my schedule.
"Well, Hinamori, It looks like you're in all my classes,"
"All of them?"
"Yep,"
"Fate is cruel to me,"
"Hey! I take that as an offense you know!"
"I know," I said while grinning but stopped as soon as I realized what I was doing. Damn. He's gaining my trust already. No, no, no, no! Amu, you can't! It will just be like last time! You'll only be used for popularity!
"You know, you look cuter smiling than scowling," Kukai said, grinning.
I felt my cheeks getting warmer. No, Amu, no! Remember who you are to people!
"Himamori-san, Suma-san, is there something you'd like to share with the class?" Nikaidou-sensei said.
"No/No, sensei!" We said.
"Good. Now pay attention to the lesson than to each other,"
I could so several girls giving me glares. Fangirls, typical. I could also see my fanboys glaring at Kukai. Oh no, don't tell me... Greeeaat! My first day in school and I'm already involved in the latest gossip.
Soon homeroom ended. And you know what happens next.
"Hinamori! Follow me to Art!" Kukai said while grinning. Does he ever stop grinning? Apparently, no.
I followed him to Art. Showing me various places along the way.
"And this is Art class. Our teacher is Miki-sensei," He said.
I went inside and saw most students already seated. All eyes on me and Kukai. Either glaring or admiring. Damn.
Me and Kukai sat at the second row at the back at the right side near the windows.
Soon, a woman with midnight blue hair in a white blouse and a black pencil skirt came walking in. I'm assuming she's Miki-sensei.
"Alright class, today we're going to draw the person to your right, get your art supplies and start drawing," Miki-sensei said.
To my right was a girl with curly blonde locks, she had golden-brown eyes, she was small. Overall she looked like a doll. She faced me.
"Hi, I'm Mashiro Rima," She said with a smile. She and Kukai could be a possible friend. Maybe. Just maybe. Mashiro, huh? This must be the Mashiro Kukai was talking about. I couldn't say I blame Rima, though. Kukai's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.
"Hinamori Amu," I said with a rare smile on my face.
I started drawing her. I just hope Kukai is doing a good job at drawing me.
I wouldn't say my drawing was bad. I wouldn't say it was the best either.
"Alright class! Show your work!"
I showed my work to Rima, and she smiled. People started looking our way and then came the whispering.
"Did you see that?! Mashiro-sama smiled!"
"Of course Mashiro-sama would get along with Hinamori-sama!"
"Kyaa! Mashiro-sama is so kawaii!"
I rolled my eyes, and then I looked at Kukai's work. To say I was surprised was an understatement.
He was decent. I half-expected it to be all cartoon-like. Hey, you can't blame me. He seemed like the childish type and I thought his drawing was childish too. Heh, I guess he was judged on how he seemed too.
Art ended.
"Ne, Rima, is it okay I call you that?" I asked.
"Hai," She said smiling.
"Good. Then you can call me Amu," I said also smiling. Why am I getting the feeling I'm being stared at.
"What's your next class?" I asked.
"Cooking class,"
"Hinamori, that's our next class too!"
Rima's eyes narrowed and a scowl replaced her smile. Then she clung to me like it was going to be the end of the world.
"How does the idiot know your classes, Amu?" Rima said while glaring at Kukai.
"He's, sadly, in all of my classes," I said.
"Can I see your schedule, Amu?" She asked.
"Sure," I handed her my schedule. Then her eyes lit up.
"Homeroom is the only class we don't have together," She said happily.
"Well then, lets go,". I said while grabbing Rima's hand and following Kukai.
Then immediately, as soon as we stepped out of the classroom whispers broke out and all eyes were on us.
Again it was like last time, but this time Rima made comments everytime Kukai did something stupid. I paid more attention now. Maybe I could trust these two. Rima, I know I could trust. Girl's intuition. Kukai, I'm not so sure.
"This is Cooking class. Su-sensei is our teacher," Rima said beating Kukai to the punchline.
We headed inside and this time we sat at the third row from the back at the middle. In a table two people could fit.
I sat with Rima while Kukai sat with a boy with purple hair and looked like girl with gold eyes. Is it just me or there are a lot of people with gold eyes. He was at our left.
Rima suddenly glared at the girly boy, while the girly boy noticed, he smiled sickeningly sweet at her.
"Amu, don't talk to that prune-head," Rima said gesturing to the boy seated with Kukai.
Soon a woman with greenish-blonde hair came in. She was wearing a green dress with a white, frilly apron.
"Ohayo, class! Today we're going easy and baking cookies," She said.
"You will be grouped in four," She added.
"Group 1 will be,
Hinamori Amu,
Mashiro Rima,
Soma Kukai,
Fujisaki Nagihiko, please stand up," We stood up and the girly boy, now I know as, Fujisaki Nagihiko also stood up.
We started baking the cookies at me and Rima's table as soon as the groupings were finished. Fujisaki-san was really good at baking. Rima was, well... not so good. Kukai was bad. Really bad. I was decent. So me and Fujisaki-san almost did all the work.
Soon Cooking class ended.
"So what's next?" I asked.
"Gym class," Rima and Kukai said in unison.
"What a coincidence, I also have gym class," Fujisaki-san said.
"Wait, I remember you! You were the captain of the Middle School's basketball team!" Kukai said.
"And you were the captain of the Middle School's soccer team," Fujisaki-san said.
The Hell?! They were jocks?!
"And what are you supposed to be?" I asked jokingly at Rima.
"... I was the Middle School's lead gag comic artist for the school newspaper,"
Whaaa? Her? Comedy?(BTW our school has a magazine like that its kinda like a newspaper but betterXD It's more entertaining than informative:3)
"And next you're gonna tell me you were all part of the student council," I said jokingly.
"No, atleast at middle school, only high school students gets to be a part of The Guardians," Fujisaki-san said.
"The Guardians?" Whaa..? That sounds like some super hero group like the Power Rangers. (Like I told you before, I own NOTHING!)
"The Guardians are the school's Student Council," Rima said.
"The Guardians are splitted into four groups," Kukai said.
"The Hearts," Fujisaki-san started.
"The Spades," Kukai continued.
"The Clovers," Rima also continued.
"And, what? The Diamonds," I said jokingly yet again.
"Actually, yes," Fujisaki-san said.
Hmm... All the things I say as a joke becomes real. Maybe if I joked about reversing time to when I first used my facade, it will come true. Hopefully.
"There are four chairs, rarely, five," Kukai said.
"There's the King's chair,"
"The Queen's chair,"
"The Jack's chair,"
"The Ace's chair,"
"And rarely, The Joker's chair," Kukai finished.
"There are one of each in one group, except for The Joker's chair," Rima said.
"Why?" I asked. Curiosity kills the cat.
"Because only people who the principal see has extreme potential gets to be the Joker," Fujisaki-san explained.
"The Principal choses The Guardians," Kukai said.
"The Guardians don't just do paperwork and all that boring stuff," Rima said.
"They protect the school, and defend the student's rights," Fujisaki-san explained. Ookaaay. I'm really starting to think they're imitating the Power Rangers.
"Lets just get to Gym, Ran-sensei's going to be mad if we're late!" Kukai said.
We rushed to Gym. Well... We dragged Rima. She's not exactly fast.
We made it just in time for Gym. Me and Rima changed in our gym clothes at the girl's dressing room.
"Ohayo, class! Today we're playing dodgeball!" Ran-sensei said energetically.
"Blue Team's captain will be... Soma Kukai!" Ran-sensei said.
"Red Team's captain will be... Hotori Tadase!"
Hotori Tadase was a boy with blonde hair and ruby eyes. He looked a little feminine to me. He's very popular though. But I heard some guys talking that the Red Team will be doomed. Its either Kukai's really good or Hotori-san's really bad. Or maybe both.
"Soma-san will choose first!"
"I pick Hinamori!"
"I pick, Sanjo-san!" Hotori-san said.
"I pick Fujisaki!"
"I pick Utau!"
"I pick Mashiro!"
"I pick Ikuto-nii-san!" Wait... Nii-san?
"I pick Yuiki!"
"I pick Yamazaki-san!"
"I pick Korutesu!"(According to google translate, this is the Japanese of my last name)
Then came random people.
Soon the only one left was a girl with curly red hair and dull green eyes, and Hotori-san grudgingly had to choose her.
Soon Ran-sensei blew the whistle
