Frame of the Heart

Chapter 1 Two Worlds

Whispers broke out from the crowd as Toya came walking down the hallway of their high school.

Toya just walked on by towards his locker without really looking at anyone or reacting.

He was a great painter.

It was said that he was the Michael Angelo of the century (of course because of his manager, the media had exaggerated it).

He was also an accomplished basketball player of the school's varsity.

He had won the MVP award the year before.

But when one would look at him, it could be noticed that he didn't seemed to be satisfied or overwhelmed with all the things he had accomplished or taking pride in them.

Some girls couldn't stop staring at him and giggle.

Just looking at him made their hearts flutter with excitement.

Toya didn't seem to notice.

Then some of the school's varsity players in basketball, the twins, Michael and Larry, approached him.

They had transferred there a year before from the States.

"You always know how to make a grand entry. Almost every girl in this school has a crush on you. How do you do it?" Michael said.

"I don't. Besides, they don't have a crush on me. They just like what I make and what I can do for the school. That's not something to brag about." Toya just replied as he got his stuff for class.

"Geez man! Why are you so stock up?" Larry commented as he patted Toya's back.

Toya didn't answer.

"Anyway, we'll be seeing you at practice later." Michael said as Toya disappeared around the corner.

That afternoon after practice.

"Toya, want to hang out some where?" Larry asked as they headed off to shower.

"I suppose." Toya replied.

"Let's check out that new sports store down at the 23rd. I hear they have the latest sports equipment." Michael said.

"Cool! Maybe they have those nylon basketball nets. They said that it is more sturdy than any other material used for the basket." Larry commented.

"I've heard about those too even though once again you didn't tell me. I'm sure it costs a lot." Michael replied.

"It's a small price to pay. Just think, if you have that, at least we won't change our net every now just because the net broke again." Larry reasoned.

"You know Larry, I didn't know you had a brain in that head of yours."

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding. You're right. Let's get some later." Michael said.

"Got it!" Larry said as he made the mental note.

"Hey Toya! You with us?" Michael then said.

"I think it's just a waste of our time just to go there and check out that net. Someone told me that those are not really strong, They are only saying that so that people will buy their products." Toya replied.

"Really? So it's not really nylon?" Larry asked.

"It's nylon alright but do you know how thin nylon is cut for fishing rods?" Toya said.

"Yeah but what has that got anything to do with nets?" Michael asked.

"That is how thin the nylon they put inside those threads for the nets are." Toya answered.

"You've got to be kidding?"

"No. I did a little research myself."

"I can't believe our cousin had tricked me again." Larry said.

"He'll never change and we all know that. Just don't listen to him anymore."

In another school not far from where Toya studies.

"Aya! Hurry up! The assembly is about to start!" Aki called out to his twin sister.

"I'm coming! I'm coming! It's not my fault Ms. Hiragi wanted to talk to me." Aya replied.

"What did you do again?" Aki asked.

"What does everything have to be something I did? Look, she just told me about the up coming fair. She wants me to head the decorations committee." Aya said.

"Head of the decorations committee? Boy, we're doomed if you're going to be heading it." Aki teased.

"Baka!!!!!!!!" Aya said as she slapped Aki's arm.

Aki couldn't help but giggle.

They then headed to their seats as the assembly started.

After the assembly, they gathered their things and headed for home.

"It sure was a long day wasn't it? It sure feels good to be heading home." Aya said as they made their way out of the school campus.

"Yeah. I agree." Aki replied.

"Why don't we stop by the ice cream parlor first before we head home? My treat!" Aya offered.

"As long as you're paying, why not?" Aki said.

"You could really be mean sometimes, you know that? You'll pay next time." Aya said.

"You know I always end up paying."

"That's not true. I do pay."

"Whatever you say. Let's get going."

Aya just nodded.

(To be continued.)

I know it's short but for the next chapters, I'm sure it would get longer. Anyway, what do you think? Please tell me what you think by sending me an e- mail or a review. Thanks!
