CHAPTER 1

Mom shut her laptop and then addressed me,

"I'll go change quickly so that I can drop you off at school on my way to work."

"Let me change your clothes for you?" Dad asked lightly with a smirk.

"Shut up you pervert!" Mom launched herself at him with a red face and I sighed at their bickering.

My name is Naomi Usui, the first daughter of Misaki and Takumi Usui. And this is what happens every morning in my life. It's pretty hard to believe that Dad is supposed to be the doctor of the royal Walker family and Mom is a successful newspaper editor. They sure didn't behave like it! The way they act is so damn sickening but refreshing at the same time. After all, to see a love so young even after 18 years of marriage is rare. Perhaps, even I will get someone who will be like this with me in the future...

What the hell am I thinking? I have more important matters to work on right now! Tatsuya groaned beside me,

"I'm leaving. If you want to come along you're free to."

"Mom! Dad! We're leaving!" I yelled. But my dear parents didn't notice since they were lost in a deep kiss. Tatsuya gagged while I grinned and swished the door open. Our car was waiting for us ahead and Tatsuya glanced towards me,

"Want to race?"

"You're on!" we dashed to the awaiting car. In the end, I won and Tatsuya glowered at me.

"What?"

"One day... I'm going to win against you!" he exclaimed. I laughed and then got into the car. My younger brother's a little too competitive for his own good.

Haruka waved frantically at me. Why was she looking so desperate? Was something wrong?

"Naomi! There's a new student!" I frowned at her and checked the writing pad I had tucked under my arm. There wasn't anything about a new student written here.

"No... I wasn't informed about this."

"But there is a new student! And he is hot!" Huh? I frowned again and followed Haruka to the lobby. She was so excited that she was literally jumping up and down. If there was someone new then I would have definitely been told about it. Don't tell me that I skipped this matter!

Just like Haruka said, there was a new student standing in the lobby. He was tall, with dark brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. Haruka squealed in a low voice,

"That's the new guy! Isn't he a total hottie?" Still frowning, I nodded. His looks were definitely approving. Is he hot? Suddenly, my phone began to vibrate. A text from Julie, the vice-president.

WHERE R U? THE MEETING IS GONNA START SOON!

Oh shit! I totally forgot about the student council meeting!

"Haruka, be the nice girl you are and show the newbie around. I'll meet you later."

"Definitely!" Haruka replied instantly. I patted her shoulder and then sprinted towards the council room.

"Sorry guys!" I apologized for the millionth time. I felt so bad! They had been waiting for about five minutes for me! Julie waved her hand dismissively and plopped down on a seat in front of me.

"Where were you anyway?"

"Haruka was showing me a new student... did you know that there was one?"

"No... but I did overhear some teachers this morning. They said there was some sudden decision change and the student's father sent him here or something like that." I sighed in relief. So there wasn't anything wrong with my list... thank god. Just then, Mr. Harvey entered the room and dropped a pile of physics test papers on my desk. What the...? He shrugged apologetically.

"I'm so sorry to ask this Naomi... but could you please check these MCQ papers for me? I need to dash to the hospital since there's something going on." It was forbidden for students to the teacher's work for them but I was pretty used to it by now. I checked my timetable. I have some free time... Resignedly, I nodded and began correcting the papers.

Out of all the test papers, one of them caught my eye. This one had gotten all the answers wrong! And in a multiple-choice paper! I never really believed in hard luck or flukes, only intelligence. This guy definitely had to be very smart to know what the right answers are and tick the wrong ones! But why would anyone do something like this? What a waste... I glanced at the name.

Robert Young

He was in Julie's class.

"Hey Julie! What can you tell me about Robert Young from your class?" she looked up from her work excitedly at the mention of his name and chattered on,

"First of all, he is a total hotshot. Second, he's good in sports but really doesn't pay any attention. Third, he always answers correctly in class but does badly in tests." Just as I thought.

"Julie... can you please keep these papers back at Old Harvey's office for me? I have some work." without waiting for a response, I headed out of the room and towards class 2-1.

"Robert Young?" I questioned loudly into the silent classroom. All the staring eyes were making me uneasy. Why is this guy taking so much time to answer me? A boy with caramel blonde hair stood up limply, his hands dug deep in his trouser pockets.

"Yeah?" for some reason, my breath caught. And what is this tight feeling in my chest? His eyes were as red as rubies and stared at me impassively.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Why is my voice so shaky? Robert flicked a stray strand of blonde hair off his forehead and sauntered up to me. Since he was closer, I could see the actual difference in our heights. I only reached his shoulders!

"What is it?"

"Do you know who I am?" What? Why am I asking this? He obviously knows who I am!

"Yeah... the student council president."

"Great! I saw your physics multiple-choice... why do you fail on purpose?" I asked, hopefully getting straight to the point. Robert's eyes widened momentarily but he returned to his bored self again.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because it's a shame. We could use your intelligence for our school and... you're just ruining your future." Okay... that didn't come out right. And that was too straight-to-the-point. His shoulders stiffened.

"Figured as much." he murmured under his breath.

"What do you mean?" I asked haughtily. Robert grasped my forearm and yanked me toward him. What the... We were so close that I could feel his breath brushing against my forehead.

"All of you are the same." Huh? He let go of me and then stepped back into his classroom. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. What was that all about? And for some reason, my chest was aching...

Hey guys! This is the first story I have written... all the ones I did before were one-shots! Well I hope you like Naomi and as you can see she is totally clueless in the love area. So please help her get to know more by supporting me! Naomi was first created in one of my earlier fanfics called 'The beautiful fruit of love'.
