The Ghost Bunny

Chapter One: The Brown-eyed Bunny

I was inspired by a movie (The House Bunny) that I recently watched and a book(forgot the title) I saw in a bookstore and an anime(more likely similar to the plot of the book though I also forgot the title)

Warning: slight OOC

Disclaimer: I do not own ghost nor the movie, anime and the book

"Can't you see me? Can't you hear me?" asked by a sweet voice. "Please. Please. Help me."

I stared down at the commotion outside at the entrance gates of their school. Every single day, except during weekends, it's the same sight and I'm sick of it. Being assigned to sit beside the windows is a pain in the ass.

A specific group of girls, called the Bunnies, goes to school with their own signature uniform and almost all of the students gawk at them. The school I enrolled in is a 'house system' (1). An enrolled student should pledge to a house, there's a different house for boys and girls. There are also specific benefits for every house you pledged in. It's optional though; you may or may not join a house. And that's the way I like it. Unfortunately, students like me who does not have a 'house' are being targeted by bullies and there are no benefits given to them but I didn't need those. I'm good in everything.

"I wish I can become a Bunny, too", a girl in my class said.

"That's impossible", another one said. "You have to be invited by them to become one."

The girl has a point. The 'Bunny House' is the most exclusive and the most popular house for girls. To become one, you have to be selected by the house mother and top Bunnies and be invited. There's a specific criteria but it's also exclusive so it's not publicly known.

"Good morning, Shibuya-san," my seatmate greeted me. A recently transferred student from Australia named John. He's one of the two people I can consider as a companion in this class.

"You're a little late today," I stated while looking at him.

"Oooh. Maybe it's because someone has a date yesterday. Did you do some adult stuff?" the guy in front of me teased John, making him blush. He's the other person I'm mentioning about though I didn't know why since Yasuhara is the most talkative in this class; also he's kind of a weirdo.

"It's not like that", the blonde defended. "Hara-san and I weren't on a date. We're just finishing our group project. I was caught up in a little traffic, that's all." By traffic means the commotion outside a while ago.

The door of our classroom slid open. The commotion from the gates is now moved in their class. The girl who opened it with grace with her kimono sleeve placed on her mouth walked towards John.

But walking towards the blonde guy proved to be difficult for her since she's being stopped by our other classmates.

"Good morning, John", she greeted as soon as she arrived in front of the blonde's side. She looked at me and nodded then turned towards Yasuhara and did the same.

"G-Good morning, Hara-san", John greeted back. Hara Masako, she's not just popular because she's a tv idol but also she's a Bunny. She's the only student who wore a kimono for a uniform, being a Bunny; you can wear anything that is comfortable and not provocative.

"I'm really sorry for leaving early yesterday, we have an activity at the house and I can't miss it."

"It's alright. I understand." After that, there's an awkward silence between the two. I don't like to intervene since I'm not that type of person. Thankfully, someone did the job.

"Masako!"

All of us turned towards the girl who is now walking towards the said girl. As soon as she stopped in front of Hara-san, I can't help but admire her beauty.

She has a shoulder-length brown hair, long eyelashes, nice body shape and most of all she has the most beautiful big, brown eyes. She's beautiful in and out. The first time I saw her, the time seemed to go into slow motion. What a cliché, but that's really what happened.

"How could you!"

Before she can talk again, she was greeted by our classmates. Instead of getting annoyed for the interruption, she smiled and greeted back. Then, she turned towards her companion again.

"Masako, how could you leave me out there?"

"I don't want to be late, Mai. And besides, if you just ignore them, you won't be having these kinds of problems now."

"Guy problems?" asked John.

"Yes. We were surrounded by them at the hallway, I got away but Mai stayed to greet them."

"Why don't you just ignore them?" this time Yasuhara asked.

"I-I can't", she said with wide-eyes. "That would be rude. I can't just ignore them if they greeted me nicely."

"Ah, that is your biggest problem, Mai-chan. You're just too nice", Yasuhara stated. Everyone who heard it nodded their head. I just mentally agreed.

Taniyama Mai, the girl I most likely admire is the most popular Bunny. It's not just because of her stunning looks but also because of her nice and compassionate personality. But I wouldn't say that aloud to her or anyone for that matter. I'm not that vocal.

The bell rang and everyone went to their sits. "Oh! I forgot." Mai said and turned towards me. With a smile on her face, she handed me a blue little box with a small bow at the top. "Naru, this is for you."

I flinched when she called me with the nickname she branded me. As I took it from her, our hands brushed lightly and I just can't help but smile, still mentally though.

"There are different kinds of tea in there. There's Earl Grey tea, Jasmine, Hibiscus and other tea that I've forgotten."

I raised an eyebrow.

"W-Well, it's a token of apology. I didn't do much with our project and I'm really sorry for that", she smiled again but there's a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"You didn't have to", I said almost in a whisper. I can feel glares aiming towards me most especially from guys. Who doesn't want something from this brown-eyed angel anyway?

"Taniyama-san", the teacher called. "Get back to your seat."

"Promise, I'll make it up to you", she softly said that I can only hear, except for Yasuhara for having a keen hearing.

"Just keep smiling", I said that she can only hear. There's shock registered in her eyes but quickly replaced by her signature sweet smile. Then she went to her seat in the front.

"You smile, I smile", the guy in front of me sung softly but out of tune.

Damn his keen hearing.
