Is It You?
Chapter 1 Feeling the heat of the sun seeping through my closed blinds to my face, I can hear the loud ringing of my alarm clock resounding in my room, filling my ears with its loud noise waking me up in my deep sleep. I groan as I reluctantly reach my alarm clock on the bedside table and turned it off.
Reluctantly, I sat up and let out a huge yawn as I stretch my body while I get out of my bed and drag myself to the bathroom getting ready for another day.
I neatly put on my uniform and grab my bag as I head out of my room and close the door. As I close the door, I was greeted with a smile by my older sister.
“Good morning, onee-chan.” I greeted her with a small smile.
“Morning Acchan.” She waved at me, keeping the same smile on her face.
My sister is very beautiful and a caring person. With her tall stature, thin body and short hair, she practically looks like a model, though she’s already doing that at school. And with her cool aura, she attracts a lot of attention around her.
My sister is my half-sister; we are both born from the same mother but we have different fathers. My sister’s father died in a car accident after she was born and a few months after, our mother got married with my father and a year after, I was born.
“Mariko! Atsuko! Breakfast is ready!” Hearing our mother’s call, my sister and I went downstairs and head towards the kitchen with our breakfast prepared on the dining table, where my father is already there watching the news.
“Ah, good morning girls.” He greeted us with coffee in hand and his usual smile.
“Morning.” We both greeted our parents as we gave a kiss on their cheek and started eating our breakfast, specially made for us.
Eating and watching attentively the news on the television, until something caught our attention.
“This morning’s topic, a man name Mono Tobita, the third son of the most dangerous mafia boss, was found dead at 2:00am this morning, after being shot and thrown over an old building. The police are now currently investigating the situation…”“It looks like a fight between the mafia families or something.” My sister said as she finishes her breakfast.
I answer with just a shrug as I also finish every last bits of my breakfast.
After finishing our breakfast, my sister and I thanked for the food as we stood up, rushing towards the front door and slip on our shoes and said our quick good byes. Since if we miss our train, we have to wait at least 20 to 30 minutes and we don’t want to be late for school.
* * * * *
At the train station, we arrived at the right time to catch our train. Inside the train, my sister and I were talking about many things and laughing together, it stopped when I suddenly felt a hand touching my bottom as I let out a little squeak, I look around me finding the person who is touching me but failed since the train is completely pack.
“What’s wrong, Acchan?” My sister stopped laughing when she noticed the little squeak that I let out, and the way I was looking around for something, she was looking at me with worried look in her eyes.
“Nee-chan, someone is touching my behind, but I can’t find who it is.” I look at her pleadingly as tears starting to form in my eyes.
My sister was also looking around for the person angrily and will totally give a piece of her mind and a taste her fists if she finds him. But it seems that someone had already beat her to save me as the hand stopped touching my behind and I heard a loud thud behind me, I turn around with the rest of the crowd to find out what’s going on, and there I find a boy gripping the collar of a man after being slam at the doors of the train, looking like he wants to kill the man.
“Hey! Old man, what do you think you’re doing?” He growled and glaring at the man with eyes shooting daggers at him and fire burning in them. If looks can actually kill, the man would be dead by now through the boy’s eyes.
“What you’re doing right now, is one of the worse thing a man can actually do to a girl, especially those who are extremely younger than they are. You pervert!” The man looked really terrified as cold sweat formed on his forehead, after being caught in the act.
When the doors suddenly opened behind him, the boy pushed him out of the train still glaring at the man while the man tripped and stumbled to the ground, as the doors close in front of him.
“Are you okay?” He asked me as he turned around; his fiery eyes became soft and calm as he looked into mine.
I gave a small nod as my sister and I thank him and he gave me a small nod as he look away, putting back his earphones on as he continues to listen to his music.
I, on the other hand, was staring at him who is right beside me. He’s not as tall as the other boys I’ve seen; he’s really…short, though he’s probably an inch or two taller than me. It seems that he’s going to the same school as I am, with the uniform he’s wearing; his gakuran widely open, his shirt untucked and two top buttons unbuttoned, his pants hanging a little low with a silver chain hanging onto it and paired with black and white high cut Nike shoes. And with his dyed golden blond hair, he successfully looks like a bad boy slash delinquent type of guy.
I’ve never seen him before in school or anywhere, but I have a feeling that I do know the boy from somewhere… but where? And his face…his face looks so familiar.
“Are you sure you’re alright, Acchan?” My sister asked worriedly as I turned towards her, it looks like she seems to notice that I’ve been staring at the guy none stop, I blush slightly in embarrassment.
“Yeah. I’m okay.” I answered as I gave a reassuring smile and she just smiled back.
The doors once again open as we finally reach to our station, we all got out at the same time and the boy gave a small salute and left, going ahead of us towards the school.
* * * * *
“Waifu! Good morning!” When I got inside, I was greeted with a hug by a certain Gachapin, who had called me ‘wife’.
“Hey Kuu.” I greeted him back and pushed his face away from me as he tried to lean forward to give his ‘morning kisses’. I giggled as I found him cute when he pulled away from my hand as he says ‘that hurt’ and pouted at me.
I walk towards my group of friends with Kuu still hugging me but from behind, it’s actually really hard to walk when someone’s clinging onto you from behind.
“Hey guys!” I greeted them with a smile as I wave at them.
“Oh Acchan!” I notice the excited look my best friend; Tomochin has on her face. It’s kind of weird to see her excited like that, because usually when she’s at school; she would always brag about how boring school is and complaining about teachers being annoying and sometimes when she’s really lazy; she would skip school.
“What’s up?” I ask wondering what’s gotten her so excited. Probably the reason why she looks happy. I know Tomochin more than anyone else, besides her parents, of course. I guess.
“Have you heard?” She asked like a ball of energy ready to explode, it’s really rare to see her like this.
“About what?” I ask only to receive an ‘are you serious?’ stare from my best friend, I replied with a ‘what?’ gesture and a confuse look.
“You mean you don’t know?!” She exclaimed as she couldn’t believe what she’s hearing earning a few stares from other students in the class.
“About what?” Next thing I notice, my sister was right beside me with her boyfriend holding hands as she pushes Kuu away from me. Onee-chan is always overprotective of me; she would protect me no matter what.
“Stay away from Acchan, you Gachapin.” Onee-chan glared at Kuu.
“Ooh! Could it be that you’re jealous, Mariko?” Kuu said to my sister with a grin forming on his lips.
“Who’s jealous?!” She protested earning a few winks while being flirted by Kuu.
“Kuu! Stop flirting with my Mari-chan.” My sister’s boyfriend said and glare at him as he wraps his arms possessively around my sister’s slim waist.
“Come on Riku, I’m just playing.” Kuu said in surrender not wanting to go in Riku’s bad side.
Riku and Kuu are cousins; Riku is a pretty looking guy and a real gentleman, he’s a clean and a really nice guy, so many girls fell for his good looks and his niceness. The main reason why onee-chan is head over heels over Riku’s charm. He also has a younger sister name Haruna, they both really look alike and they can pass out as twins at how much they resemble each other. His sister is also pretty like a model and she’s best friends with my sister, though she’s younger than Onee-chan.
Kuu is pretty much a playboy; he would flirt with every cute and pretty girl he sees, just like me. With his cute appearance and filled with energy, again many girls would date a guy like him and surely would have a good time hanging out with.
“Anyways, what were you guys talking about?” My sister said getting back on topic.
“Apparently, we’re having a new transfer student today in our class.” Yuko answered with a smile while clinging onto Haruna, while the other girl tries to push away the squirrel-like girl.
“Yeah so?” I ask wondering what’s the big deal about this transfer student.
“Well, don’t you think it’s weird to have a transfer student in the middle of the school year?” Tomochin said facing towards me as I nodded, urging her to continue.
“This person must be really smart to enter the school in the middle of the year just like that.” She added.
“And your point?” Not getting where this is going, might as well get to the point already. Onee-chan, Riku and I were waiting for her to answer and…
“Well, I want to know and find out if this new student is a guy or a girl.” She said with a bright smile and added. “And if it’s a guy, I wonder if he’s cute or hot, or both.”
I felt brain-dead at her remark; and looking at Mari-neechan and Riku’s expressions, I could tell they were too. What kind of idiot reasoning was that? To have so much excitement driven by looks. Typical Tomochin.
“Oh my god.” My sister said unbelievably as she was the first to recover.
Suddenly, the bell rang and Mari-neechan and Riku waved us a small and a quick good bye, since we’re going to see them again at lunch, as they left our classroom and went to their own.
I went to my seat as the other students did the same, as we waited for the teacher to enter the classroom. Tomochin and I sat at the same area.
When our homeroom teacher came in our class, everybody in the classroom stood up from their seats as we greeted the teacher and bowed and sat back on our seats.
“Good morning class.” Yoshiyaki-sensei greeted us back. “This morning, a new student will be joining this class starting today.” He announced.
Everyone in the classroom were eager to see the new transfer student, and when I turn around to look at Tomochin behind me, she was practically jumping from her seat.
“You can come in.” I can hear the door sliding open and suddenly, sounds of squeals from the girls and disappointments from boys can be heard in the classroom. I curiously turn around back to the front and my eyes widen in shock…No way.
