A/N: New idea! I don't know if it'll turn out the way I want it, but ehh it works haha. The next chapter for Two Worlds Collide is out! Anyway, this is pretty much AU. I was inspired by the fanficiton Confessions of a Runaway by Shiori90210. (Great Gakuen Alice story. Read It NOW!) I'm not stealing the idea and it will be different.
I'm going to say it now so I don't have to say it for the rest of the chapters. I don't own Kodocha. All its characters belong to Miho Obana. I don't own any songs or any products on here either. Everything that's not mine will be in bold.
Okay onto the story now!

Light, sun rays peaked through her bedroom window as she tossed in her new bed. Her auburn tresses were splattered on her pillow as she turned once more.
"Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe!" "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe!"
The auburn girl jumped at the sound of her alarm. Her groggy, hazel eyes fluttered half way open. Her tussled sheets crumbled at her feet as she kicked at them.
"So early…" she mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
She turned her head towards her alarm. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
7:01
"I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" she immediately jumped out of bed and shot to her bathroom.
She hurriedly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and brushed her auburn hair, tying them into her signature pigtails. There was something missing though. She pointed her finger to her chin and thought deeply. After sitting there for a few seconds, her brain hit a light bulb.
"MAMA!"
A middle aged woman sat quietly in the midst of her living room as she sipped her tea quietly. Her brown hair was hidden under a small, make shift pool with a chipmunk swimming in it.
"She's so energetic!" The elder woman commented as she placed the tea set on the mahogany table.
"She is a child of many attributes." The middle aged woman commented.
"She is your child Kurata-sama." Kurata Misako gave a small smile to her maid, Shimura, as she brought the tea back to her lips.
"Yes, yes she is."
"MAMA!" The voice increased as the girl approached closer to the two women downstairs. An auburn haired girl quickly made her way downstairs and came to a screeching halt in front of her mother and loyal maid.
"MAMA!Icantfindmyuniformandihavenoideawhereitisandschoolstartsinliketenminutesandimgoingtobelateonmyfirstdayandimgoingtomakeafoolofmyse-"
"It's hanging behind your bedroom door." The rambling girl stopped talking and her eyes turned to tiny dots.
"Oh…" she responded. Shimura giggled slightly. "Well thanks mama!" she then sped off and raced back upstairs.
"Shimura, may I have another cup?" Misako asked as she placed her tea cup on the mat.
"Of course my lady."
"Bye mama! Bye Shimura! Wish me luck today!" The hazel eyed girl yelled as she made her way out of the house. A slight, dust trail was left behind, causing both women to cough slightly.
"That child of mine."
-O-
Sixteen year-old Kurata Sana stretched her arms out and released a loud yawn. A smile was plastered on her face and she walked towards her new school.
The grin on her face widened as the thought of her new life in a new town became exhilarating to her. There was a new adventure waiting for her and she would make the best of it. Her mother always told her that life was a gift and they should always do best with what their given. Sana promised herself she would.
Her mother had a great way with words. After all, her mother was an award-winning author. She loved her mother very much. She always knew what to say or do to make her feel better and she had mischievous side to her that always made her laugh, especially when she teased her editor Onda about her deadlines, which she never met.
The sun was out bright and the warmth showered over her. The summer uniform fit her nicely and gave her room to breathe, unlike her old school uniform. The thing she found interesting about this school was that they provided two summer uniforms and two winter uniforms. The first summer uniform consisted of a white, mid sleeved dress up shirt and a red tie with a pleated navy blue and red skirt. The one she was wearing at the moment, as instructed by her school, consisted of a white blouse with a navy blue sailor style collar and on the short sleeves was the cuffs of the sailor jackets. Under the collar, they provided the students with another red tie that you tie in the front and a navy blue skirt with high black socks.
She couldn't wait to get to her new classroom and make new friends! She hummed to herself a small tune and grinned happily once more as she walked further away from her house and closer to school.
Sana turned the corner and walking ahead of her was a boy, about her age she presumed. From what she could see, he had shabby, blonde hair and was extremely tall. She walked faster to catch up to him. He was walking the same way as her so she assumed they went to the same school.
As she grew closer to the boy, she realized he was wearing the boy, summer uniform for her new school. With his back still to her, she quietly observed him. He wore navy blue slacks and from what she could tell, a white dress up shirt. She figured he was wearing a red tie because she could see the red garment tied under his collar.
"Hey!"
Silence. Sana frowned slightly. Maybe he didn't hear her?
"Hey you!" she called again. She looked closely and saw that he was listening to music. That would explain why he wasn't listening. She sweat dropped. She raced up to him and tapped his shoulder. He stopped walking immediately and she crashed into his arm.
"Oww." She said as she rubbed her now sore nose.
Sana looked up and he stood there, not even bothering to turn around. Sana pouted.
'Rude!'
What he did do, was unplug one of his ear phones. Sana put on her best smile and wrapped her hands behind her back.
"Hi! I'm Sana!"
They both stood there in uncomfortable silence. Sana was feeling a bit uneasy and decided a different approach.
"I'm new here! And I'm guessing by your uniform you go to Jinbou High School right? Cuz that's where I'm going too!" she continued.
This time, he turned his head towards her slightly. Her eyes widened slightly at the piercing look in his golden eye. She felt her body shiver as his eyes literally pierced through her. It was cold, dark, and terrifying. She had never seen something so frightening. He turned away, plugged his earphone back into his ear and continued walking. Sana was baffled by his sudden action.
"Jerk!" She scowled at the boy walking away. Though, she couldn't shake off the feeling in her body. As cliché as it may sound, if looks could kill, she definitely would be dead.
"I hope not everyone in this school is rude like him!" she said to herself. When she looked up again, he was gone.
"Whoa! Where'd he go?" She searched the area for him, but there was no trace of him. It was like he completely vanished.
"Wait! I have no time for this! I have to get to school!" The auburn haired girl increased her paced and hurried on to school. She had to get there on time!
She ran her hardest and realized she was close when she saw the number of students increase. She slowed down slightly and smiled as she saw groups of girls wearing the same uniform as her and boys wearing the uniform of that boy she ran into this morning.
She took a deep breath and walked into the sea of students. Her mouth dropped in awe as she arrived to the front of the school. The gates to the school were open and inside were a pathway that led to the entrance. The school was HUGE!
It was a two story school and the building was shaped like an upside down field goal on a football field. (l_l like this but backwards) To the right and left side of her were large patches of grass, the left filled with trees and the right filled with tables and shaded area.
The outside hallways were shaded and held with large beams. She noticed that the lockers seemed to be located in the outside hallways. She would have to keep note to that when she was assigned her locker number. The students seemed very lively here. She noticed a lot of interaction amongst the students and the atmosphere here resembled her personality. She had a feeling she was going to love this place.
As she stepped inside, she saw several stairs and the hallways breaking into other hallways. She frowned slightly realizing finding the administration office would be harder then it looked.
"Looking for something?" Sana turned around and came face to face with a handsome looking boy. He had milk chocolate brown hair and emerald green eyes. His jaw was perfectly lined and he was at least half a head taller. He had a perfect smile, with shining white teeth.
Sana felt herself blush. "Uhh yeah! I'm looking for the administration office!" she recovered quickly as she smiled at him, bringing her book bag closer to her body.
His eyebrow arched. "Are you new here?"
She nodded. "Yupp! Today's my first day!"
The green eyed boy smiled once more. "In that case, let me introduce myself. My name is Akimoto Hiro. Pleased to meet you." He extended his hand for a shake and Sana returned his kind gestured.
"The name is Kurata Sana! The pleasure is mine!" She said as she shook his hand. Hiro smiled.
"Here, let me show you to the office." He offered. The auburn haired girl beamed at him in gratitude.
"Oh thank you thank you! You're a life saver!" He chuckled hoarsely.
"No need to thank me. It's the least I can do."
"Ahhh! It's Akimoto-san!"
"He's so cute!"
"Be my boyfriend Akimoto-san!"
"WE LOVE YOU AKIMOTO-SAN!"
The brown haired boy rubbed the back of his head and chuckled nervously as the praised from the younger girls continued.
"So, you're quite popular here with the females aren't you?" Sana asked as she wriggled her eyebrows.
"Haha it's just admiration. Nothing more."
"Really now?" She smirked with a tint of mischief.
"Oh Akimoto-kun! I love you sooooo much! Oh Akimoto-kun! You are soooooo hot! Marry me!" Sana mocked as she copied the reactions to the younger girls. Hiro laughed at her sarcastic tone and childish face expressions.
"When you do it, it doesn't sound so bad." Hiro breathed into the auburn's ear as he dropped down to her level. Sana blushed at his boldness.
"I'm only kidding of course!" she winked at him and sped ahead.
He smirked. "Of course."
As they walked down the hallway, Sana took notice to the inside of the school. On the inside, it was classroom after classroom. The occasional stairway appeared after 5 classrooms or so. She was so amazed at the size and population of the school, she was astounded.
"Wow! It's so big!" she commented. Hiro grinned once more.
"Well Jinbou High School is one of the biggest private schools in the area." Sana gave him an incredulous look.
"No kidding! I could see why!" She clung to her book bag. "How does it work here anyway?"
"Well, the school is a two story building. The bottom half is for the first years and second years." Hiro then pointed up. "The top of the school is for third years and fourth years. That's where I go." He smirked, which Sana blushed slightly too. "I'm a fourth year. What are you?"
"I'm a third year." She answered. He smiled once more.
"So that means I'll be seeing you around right?" The sixteen year old could smell the cologne off his back as he moved closer to her.
"Uhh yeah!" she smiled as she back away a bit.
"Anyway, we have a trimester system here. We go to school for ten weeks, taking four classes at each semester. For example, the spring semester ended four weeks ago and now we've started the summer session. Then in ten weeks, we will start our four week vacation, then after, start our winter session. Make sense?" He explained. Sana lost it when he started using his fingers to count off the number of weeks and such. Her head went dizzy and her eyes turned to small dots once more.
"Uhh yeah?" He laughed again.
"Not good with math I assume?" Sana released a nervous chuckle.
"Let's just say that if you compared me to monkey or a whale, I'd be the whale." She laughed as she scratched the back of her head.
Hiro laughed at her weird comparison. "You're funny. I like you." Sana blushed once more and diverted her eyes away from him.
"Well here it is!" Sana looked up and sure enough, there was the administration office. She turned around and smiled at her new friend.
"Thank you so much Akimoto-kun! I would have been lost without you!" she playfully sulked.
"No problem." He shone her his perfect grin and she smiled back at him.
"By the way, call me Hiro." He smirked and then made his way upstairs. Sana gulped as he walked away. She leaned back against the wall and sighed.
"Welp! Time to get this done!" and raced inside the office.
-O-
A tired sigh escaped his lip as their homeroom teacher read through the daily announcements. As they took their bow, they sat down once more. His tired eyes felt the need to close. He wasn't able to sleep last night and felt like he would faint at any given second.
The strangest thing happened this morning to just sugarcoat everything. This strange, random girl approached him. Obviously she was new; otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten anywhere close to him. Everyone at school knew it was smart to avoid him. Her voice was so high pitched and too cheery. It was annoying and she looked like a junior high student with her stupid pig tails and stupid grin. Also, she talked way too much.
What was her name again? Sasha? Dana? Sandra?
He forgot, but it didn't matter. His chances of seeing her again were slim. After all, even if she did come to this school, there were over nine hundred students here. Chances of seeing her were one to one million.
"Psst!" He heard a small whisper and turned his head towards the boy in front of him.
"Akito!" He whispered loudly.
Akito frowned slightly at the brown haired boy. His eyes basically gave him that "What the hell do you want?" look.
The brown haired boy glared at him and pushed his eye glasses up on his nose. His eyes gave that "You're a jerk!" look.
The blonde haired boy rolled his eyes and turned away from him, looking out the window.
Sasaki Tsuyoshi sighed as he slumped in his desk. His stupid best friend was an insensitive jerk as always. Tsuyoshi brushed away his brown locks from his face and fixed his glasses. His brown eyes dropped in concern. His best friend was so stupid.
"Alright class, before I leave you to your free period, I would like to introduce our new student." The whole class turned their gazes towards the front of the room. Akito secretly turned his gaze towards the front, thinking the impossible was going to happen.
"You may come in."
The door opened and in came an auburn haired, hazel eyed girl with a smile plastered on her face. The boys in the class admired her simple beauty and the girls sat with silence, not really knowing what kind of girl the new girl was.
"Hello! My name is Kurata Sana! I hope we can all be friends!" The grin on her face never faltered.
"Ms. Kurata, take a seat next to Mr. Hayama over by the window." Sana nodded and made her way to her seat. Along the way, a brown haired boy smiled at her. She smiled back. As she arrived to her seat, she turned towards her classmate.
"Alright class, make her feel welcomed and I'll see you tomorrow." The teacher then walked out and the class bustled with noise.
"Hi there! Kurata-san right?" Sana turned around to come face to face with a brown haired boy.
"Hi! And yeah! But you could just call me Sana!" she responded.
"My names Sasaki Tsuyoshi, but you could just call me Tsuyoshi!" He said with a smile. He had brown haired and brown eyes. From what Sana could tell, he was kind of scrawny, but he seemed like a sweet boy.
"Well it's nice to meet you Tsuyoshi-kun!" She greeted enthusiastically.
"Oh and this is Hayama Akito. He's usually rude and sarcastic so don't mind him." He said as he introduced his best friend.
"That's alright! Hi there Hayama!"
When he turned, Sana's heart stopped. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. It was the jerk from this morning!
"YOU!" she yelled as she stood up.
Tsuyoshi looked at both her and his best friend with puzzlement.
"You guys have met before?" he asked.
"Oh yeah! We met this morning! Idiot! I was so lost! The least you could have done is helped me out!" she lectured as she pointed at him, causing the class to turn to her.
As Sana pointed at him, she pouted. His face was just so… empty, so cold. His face bore no emotion and his eyes were dark and lifeless. She had never encountered someone with such an eerie demeanor and a penetrating gaze that gave her chills up her spine.
"Akito?" Tsuyoshi gave him a questioning look.
"You're annoying." He then turned away and raised the volume of his iPod.
Sana gaped at him and had a sudden urge to claw at the jerk sitting next to her. It amazed her to see such an insufferable being at a prestigious school at this caliber. Then again, she wasn't too surprised. This school was full of geniuses and wealthy, snobby students. There were bound to be those few that walked these hallways as if they were the Queen of England herself.
"Why you!" She started, "You are such an a-"
"Hey there!" But Sana was cut off as two voices simultaneously called out to her. She turned around to come face to face with two girls; the one on the left had a bob cut with raven black hair and violet colored eyes while the girl next to her had blondish, brownish hair that was fishtailed back and golden brown eyes.
"Uhh hi!" she responded, giving both girls her undivided attention.
"My names Mami!" the raven, bob cut haired girl introduced.
"And I'm Hisae!" The golden haired girl said after.
"Hi guys! I'm Sana!" The auburn introduced once more. She smiled and the duo grinned back.
"Can we steal her from you Tsuyoshi?" Hisae asked with pleading eyes.
"It won't be long!" Mami added in with a cute, innocent smile that deviously played on her lips.
Tsuyoshi chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Su-sure!"
The two teenagers hauled her away from the stuttering boy across the classroom. They sat her down in the desk rather roughly and sat at each side of her.
"So Sana, we want to be your friends!" Sana's eyes shrunk to small dots and she blinked twice with a crooked smile on her face. It took her a minute to register the sudden request. She then returned to normal and smiled the silly grin of hers.
"Of course! I love making new friends!"
"Great!" Mami commented with a grin.
"So Sana, where did you come from?" Hisae asked as she crossed her arms and leaned in on the table in front of her.
"I'm actually from Nagoya, but I spent some time in Osaka before I moved to Nagoya and now I'm here! If that makes sense!" She laughed, rubbing the back of her head.
"Yeah girl! That makes total sense!" Mami commented, laughing a long with Sana.
"Hey! You said you lived in Osaka right?" Hisae asked, putting a finger to her chin.
"Yeah?" Sana questioned.
"We also have a friend who lived in Osaka for some time!" Hisae explained as she pounded her fist down on palm on her hand. "You can meet her next period since we all have it together!"
The auburn haired girl grinned, liking the idea of making more friends. Everybody seemed really nice off the bat; except for the golden eyed boy she met not that long ago. He seemed to have a little of an attitude problem.
"That sounds great!" She grinned at her new friends and they talked together for the rest of the period, getting to know each other a bit. But Sana couldn't stop herself from stealing glances at the blonde haired boy she met this morning. There was just something about him that called her out to him.
"Hey Mami, Hisae?" Both girls stopped mid conversation.
"What's up?" they both asked.
"What's the deal with that Hayama Akito guy?" She pointed back at him, and Hisae and Mami's face fell. They both looked at each, as if asking each other for permission to say anything. Sana grew confused and felt in the dark. They both nodded at each other and looked back at Sana, their goofy demeanor replaced by a more serious look.
"Well, Sana, we don't just tell anyone about him. Actually, you're the first person to ask that in a long time." Hisae thought back, looking as if she was thinking too hard.
Sana quirked an eyebrow at that.
"We all went to the same elementary and middle school together. We basically grew up with each other. You know, me, Hisae, Tsuyoshi, Tsuyoshi's girlfriend and another friend of ours that you will meet, and Hayama." Mami continued.
"Hayama Akito was always, well how do you put it?" Mami looked to Hisae for help.
"Reserved. He was very reserved to himself. No one really knows what it is that he hides, except for maybe Tsuyoshi, but Hayama has this really scary aura around him which scares off mostly everyone."
Mami nodded, in agreement with Hisae's statement. "People tend to not go near him and he does the same back. He always has this stoic look on his face and is really broody. He doesn't talk to people much, except for Tsuyoshi and our friend from Osaka that we told you about." Mami stopped, looking over at the Hayama and Tsuyoshi, "and even with those two, he doesn't speak much."
"No one really knows what his deal is, but people are just automatically afraid of him because of his eyes, which if you haven't noticed, are awfully scary." Hisae injected, "I mean, we don't even know and we've known him out entire lives."
"Has anybody ever tried getting to know him?" Sana asked, her curiosity spinning wildly. She always did have a bad case of curiosity and it has gotten her in leaps of trouble before. She had a feeling if she pried here too much; this was going to be trouble as well.
"If you count Tsuyoshi and our friend from Osaka, yeah but other than that, no." Hisae shrugged her shoulders. Sana frowned, feeling sorry for the boy.
"I wouldn't fret too much on it, Sana." She added, to which Mami agreed.
"Yeah! I mean, even if you wanted too, Hayama could sure be nasty and just scare you off like he did with the rest of us."
Sana glanced over at the blonde again, his back towards her. She decided to drop the subject, for now.
-O-
"What was that all about?" Tsuyoshi asked, as he looked back at the blonde haired boy, who snorted.
"Nothing." He wasn't in the mood to deal with Tsuyoshi, or that stupid, annoying girl, or anyone for that matter.
Tsuyoshi frowned. "Sure didn't seem like nothing. You met her this morning?"
Hayama sighed, knowing that the brown haired boy was just going to continue pestering with him questions. The sooner he answered them, the sooner he would leave him alone.
"Yeah, I was walking to school, she came up to me for directions or whatever, and then I ignored her and went on my merry way." He said dryly, trying to be as vague as possible.
"You ignored her when she needed help? Don't you think that was a bit rude, Akito?" Tsuyoshi crossed his arms, the frown still in place. He liked this Sana girl and didn't think it was fair for his best friend to be so rude to someone who he hadn't even had the chance to really talk too.
"I'm not a nice person, Tsuyoshi." He felt Tsuyoshi's glare on him as he turned up the volume of his iPod. "You want nice, go to Natsumi."
"I know you're not a nice person. And where is Natsumi? I didn't see her come in this morning. Not that you two come in together anyway." Hayama could barely hear him through the music in his ears, but nonetheless, heard the question.
"She went ahead of me this morning. Some project or whatever with her friends." He hoped that would be the last of this conversation.
"You still haven't talked to her, have you?"
Hayama sighed roughly, taking out his earphones. He glared at the boy next to him, very annoyed and irritated by his sudden interest into his life.
"Leave. It." He said with a threatening tone. He wasn't the type of guy to share, especially when it concerned his personal life. That was off limits.
"She's your sister, Akito. The least you could-"
"I said leave it." He hissed, rather loudly, which earned a few looks from people around him, including the new girl. She looked over at him with the curious gaze. He scoffed and got up, leaving the brown haired boy behind as he walked towards the door.
"Wait! Akito!" Tsuyoshi called out to him, but Hayama was already out the door before Tsuyoshi could even muster the first word.
Sana watched as he abruptly got up and left his friend behind, heading out towards the door. She frowned again, wondering what made him so mad that he yelled at Tsuyoshi.
"Isn't anybody going to go after him?" She unconsciously asked. Hisae and Mami both looked at each then back at her, shaking their heads.
"He does that a lot. No one knows why, but he just gets up and leaves. Nobody ask, but nobody really cares also." Mami commented, "As mean as that may sound."
"Oh." Sana was surprised by the way people treated this guy. Sure, he was a little rough around the edges, but he couldn't have been that bad, right?
-O-
Homeroom went by quickly and soon, Sana and her new friends made their way to their next class: math. Sana groaned, annoyed by the subject that would be her ultimate downfall. Her friends noticed her sudden change in demeanor and asked her, to which she energetically rambled on about her failure in math throughout her academic life.
"I'm just not good at it. Never have been. I don't think I ever will, to be honest." She said, sheepishly and embarrassed. Her friends laughed, amused by her ramblings.
"Well good thing our friend from Osaka is good at it!" Sana smiled, giving her the thumbs up.
"Here we are!" Mami said as they walked into their next class.
They walked in and it was much nosier than their homeroom, Sana noted. She felt Mami grab her arm and lead her to the other side of the room calling out to what Sana saw was Tsuyoshi, another girl she hadn't met before, and another boy, with Hisae right beside her.
"Hey guys!"
They turned around and greeted Mami and Hisae then all looked over at Sana. Tsuyoshi smiled and waved at her before Hisae took the chance to introduce her to the rest of the group.
"Hi, I'm Kurata Sana! But you could just call me Sana!" she introduced with a grin on her face.
"Hi Sana-chan! I'm Sugita Aya, but you could just call me Aya!"
"She's also my girlfriend." Tsuyoshi added in with a proud smile on his face as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, which caused her to giggle.
Sugita Aya was a petite girl, like Sana. She had ashy brown hair and gentle chocolate brown eyes. Sana could tell she was a soft spoken, but had a feeling they would be great friends.
"Oh Tsuyoshi-kun." She cooed. Sana could hear everyone groan to which she just laughed.
"You guys are too cute!" Sana gushed, "She seems like a good girl, good job Tsuyoshi!" She patted him on the back as she laughed, to which Aya and Tsuyoshi both thanked her and proceeded to tell her that they had been dating since elementary school.
"Yo! I'm Gomi!" He had a short, buzz cut and dark eyes, but other than that, there was nothing more that needed to be said.
"And this idiot is my boyfriend." Hisae went and put Gomi in head lock, making Sana's eyes widen with surprise. She had such force on him that she had never seen before.
"What about you, Mami? Any special boy for you?" Sana turned to Mami and wriggled her eyebrows, to which Mami blushed.
"No, none here." She confessed, putting her hands up in defense.
"Sana?"
The entire group turned around at the new voice and Sana went wide eyed, not believing her eyes. There stood a girl with brown hair that reached to her shoulder and light brown eyes. She was as tall as Sana and her arms and legs were very toned, from what she could see.
"Fuka!?"
Tsuyoshi, Aya, and the rest of the group went wide eyed at Sana's sudden recognition.
"Kurata Sana?" The girl known as Fuka cracked a smile behind those disbelieving eyes.
"Matsui Fuka!" Sana grinned and began to laugh, not believing that her old best friend was here, at this school, here in Tokyo.
"Girl! I haven't seen you in AGES!" Fuka tackled her into a hug, to which Sana returned.
"I KNOW!" They both pulled away from each other, laughing at the sheer possibility of the two being reunited.
"I can't believe your here! I mean, I knew you moved to Tokyo because of your dad's job, but I had no idea it was here! At this school!" Sana commented, still not believing Fuka was really here.
"You can't believe I'm here? I can't believe you're here!" Fuka said back, "What are you even doing here in Tokyo?!"
The rest of the group watched silently as the two girls talked, lost at what was going on. Hisae and Mami felt out of the loop, especially because they had befriended Sana first and now Fuka was taking her away from them. Tsuyoshi and Aya watched silently, looking back at each other, then shrugging their shoulders.
"Oh you know, Mama's work stuff!" Sana said as she laughed, making Fuka narrowed her eyes.
"I don't believe you for a second!" The brown haired girl retorted, making Sana laugh again. Fuka knew her better than anybody else ever did. It was just like her too see behind her lie.
"Uh, how do you two know each other?" This time, Hisae interrupted, tired of being ignored.
Both Fuka and Sana turned towards the group, then back towards each other and laughed, making the group give those questioning glances.
"We went to the same elementary and middle school for a few years back when I lived in Osaka!" Sana began.
"That was before I moved here to Tokyo for my dad's transfer! Before I met you guys!" Fuka chimed.
"Fuka and I were best friends throughout those years! We were inseparable! Right Fuka?" The auburn haired girl gave Fuka the peace sign with a bright smile that made the brown haired teenager laugh lightly.
"Yeah! When we first met, people said that we looked like each other and were each other's twins because we basically acted the same!"
"I see it." Tsuyoshi noted, smiling after.
"Yeah, me too!" Mami and Hisae said at the same time.
"They use to think we were lesbian for each other because we were always together and did silly, stupid things for each other." Sana laughed as she remembered back to her middle school memories.
"I remember that! It wasn't until you kissed Yuta that everyone stopped believing in those stupid rumors!" Fuka's laugh died down a bit, thinking back to her middle school memories too.
Sana stopped laughing, cursing herself for making the stupid mistake of bringing up the one person Fuka never liked to talk about.
The group noticed the sudden change in the conversation and watched both the girls with sharp eyes, wondering who this 'Yuta' person.
"Yeah, those were fun times!" Fuka said with a smile. Sana let out a relief sigh, happy that her friend was okay with bringing that name up.
Sana gave her a smile and mouthed 'sorry' to which Fuka shook it off and said 'it was okay.' Before anybody could ask questions, Sana turned to Hisae and Mami.
"Who would have known the Osaka friend you were talking about was my best friend!" She started, "And you're right! She is really good at math!"
Fuka groaned, not believing that Sana was still having trouble with what was probably the easiest subject in school.
"Don't tell me you're still ridiculously bad at math?"
Sana gave her a sheepish smile, giggling when Fuka rolled her eyes.
"Unbelievable." The brown haired girl laughed lightly as Sana burst into a fit of giggles.
"Well, than that makes it easier on us now that you know Fuka!" Tsuyoshi said with a laugh.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Fuka asked sharply, narrowing her eyes at the boy with the glasses.
Tsuyoshi put his hands up in defense, laughing nervously as Fuka swiped out her fan. "Nothing! Nothing! But…"
"But what?!" Fuka demanded as she placed her hands at her hips.
"You're not exactly the easiest person to warm up too when first meeting you." Tsuyoshi finished as he backed away from the brown haired girl. Sana laughed loudly as she clutched her stomach because of how funny and true Tsuyoshi's statement.
"And what are you laughing at?!" She turned sharply to her best friend.
Sana wiped her tears from her eyes. "It's so true! I mean, remember when we met?" She put a hand on her shoulder and grinned. "We hated each other!"
"Well… I guess so." Fuka put her fan down and thought back to their elementary school days and laughed as she recalled the memory. Sana had just moved and was introduced to the class. People liked her immediately, but she had doubts. And with Sana being the same type of person she was, they both thought the same thing and bumped heads occasionally. It wasn't until they were both put into after school detention for throwing food at each other during lunch that they became friends. They both insulted each other but then laughed and became best friends after.
"You guess so! It's so true!" Sana laughed and everyone joined in, making Fuka embarrassed. Her and Sana went back and forth a few times before they eventually sat down and started their class. Sana sat next to Fuka and watched as the mysterious blonde boy from this morning walked in so casually and sat near the back. She saw as Fuka gave him this glare, which he turned away from her. Sana sat confused, wondering what the relationship between her and the blonde boy was.
-O-
Class went by incredibly slow for Sana. She groaned and whined at the math problems her teacher started doing. She got a few kicks and glares from Fuka who kept nagging her to shut up. She watched the teacher do these problems that just looked foreign to her. She gave up after the first fifteen minutes and stopped paying attention. Of course, after class Fuka reprimanded her for still being an idiot and even though Sana tried to argue back, there was no she could because Fuka was right.
Tsuyoshi watched as the two girls argued with a smile. Aya had joined in on their conversation and Hisae, Mami, and Gomi had all left to their next class. He usually walked Aya to class but she Sana dragged her into their conversation and now he stood waiting for them to finish.
He heard the door slide open and out came his stoic faced best friend. Tsuyoshi noticed how tired he was and walked over to him, hoping that he was no longer in a bad mood from earlier.
"Hey Akito." Tsuyoshi walked up to him with a smile.
Called boy turned to him and nodded. Tsuyoshi sighed in relief.
"Apparently, Sana and Fuka already knew each other back in the day and they hit it off just fine. Funny huh? And the best part is that they are exactly the same! Except, I think Sana is a little nicer than Fuka." Tsuyoshi said as he tried making conversation with his best friend.
"There's two of them?" He questioned as he looked over at Fuka and the new girl, Sana. Tsuyoshi nodded as he smiled.
"Great. Buka is annoying enough." He mumbled under his breath as he turned away from him. Tsuyoshi frowned.
"Akit-"
"See you later guys!"
And at that moment, Sana, who wasn't paying attention as she was looking back while waving goodbye to her friends, crashed right into Hayama, causing them to both fall to the floor, the auburn haired girl falling right on top of him.
Hayama felt the air get knocked out of him as the new girl crashed right into him, making them both fall to the cold, hard floor. He groaned silently as his elbow ached from falling on it awkwardly. He tried to push himself up, but there was a sudden weight keeping him down.
Sana rubbed her head, as she lifted herself up. "Ow." But her eyes went wide eyed as she felt something soft under her hand. She looked down and noticed that she had her hand pressed against a very firm chest. Her eyes trailed up and blushed as she locked eyes with the golden eyed boy she met this morning.
The position they were in was a very promising position for any hormonal teenager. The auburn haired girl was straddling Hayama's hips and very close to his face. Her hand was pushed up against his chest and he hand one hand on her calf, the other pushing himself off the ground.
"You're really heavy, you know that?" Sana flushed as she realized the embarrassing position she was in. She yelled as she jumped off of him as fast as she could.
"I'm sorry! I didn't watch where I was going!" She laughed as her face flushed bright red. She bent down and helped him pick up some of the items that fell from his bag.
The blonde haired boy annoyingly grabbed his bag and glared at the girl who was helping him pick his stuff up. He couldn't believe the position she just put him. He wanted to strangle her.
"I'm really sorry! I'm so clumsy!" She gave him a sheepish smile, "Honestly, mama always tells me I'm going to break something one of these days!"
He gave her a glare, at which she ignored. That ticked him off more. She handed him some of the papers that flew out of his bag and he grabbed them from her hand, but not before making brief contact with her hand. Both teenagers went wide eyed as their fingers touched. Hayama felt an electric pulse convulse through his body. And unbeknownst to them, Sana felt the same jolt.
Both ignored the brief contact. The golden eyed boy gave her one more glare before turning away. "You idiot."
Sana gaped, glaring back at the boy. The nerve of him, she thought to herself as he walked away from her. "I'm not an idiot!" She shouted back, still fuming red from earlier.
But both teenagers couldn't deny the jolt that ran through their body at contact. Hayama frowned, wanting to shake off the feeling. He didn't need any more people in his life. He didn't need more people to meddle with his closed door. Sana smiled to mask the sudden anxiety. Though it was brief, Sana felt a sudden tingle. She didn't know what it was, but there was something about Hayama that made her raise a brow. Unbeknownst to both teenagers, that brief contact was the start of a long, heartbreaking, challenging road with dips, curves, forks, and so much more.
A/N: I need to stop doing this. I need to stop writing stories and uploading them when I already have other stories to focus on. But, this one, I really want to write. I actually had this written for a while but I kept putting it off because I had other stories to finish but I finally decided to upload this. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Let me know what you guys think! Should I continue or no? A review is very much appreciated!
