Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1 : Typical But Atypical Day.

I hear my alarm goes off.

"Hmmm ahh~~ It's already 6:00 in the morning.."

I do some stretching and slide my curtain, the sun was so bright. Every morning, right after I woke up, I went to the bathroom and take a shower. When I'm done, I will wear my school uniform and make my breakfast and also lunch for school later. That's what I will do every morning before I went to school.

I pack all of my stuff for school today and went out of my apartment. My trip to school only takes about 15 minutes from my apartment. Usually, I will walk and sometimes ride my bicycle too. And the best part is, today is the first day of school. I hope that I will be in peaceful class where no one would dare to compete with me. Actually, I don't want too.

Right after I reach school, I went straight to the information board where you can look at which class you will be in.

"3A.. Thank god. I have done better on last year test." I said in mind.

I'm on my way to 3A class and I saw Ono Shin, my rival but I don't really look him as my rival. Well, because he is also a person who has a good intelligence like me and we always compete with each other so that is why I make him as my rival. But he is the only guy where I can be comfortably close with in a friendly way.

He noticed me and walk toward me.

"Hey! Long time no see, Mizuno, which class are you in?" Shin said

"3A, how about you?" I said

"Aww, its a fate eh? Same as you, of course!" He said and winked

"Huh?! Are you sure? No way in the hell I will spend my last year competing with you again!" I said

"Well, no one asked you to compete with me and I don't intend to compete with someone who has an IQ 140." Shin said and smirked

"Whatever. Let's get to our class now." I said and walk

"Hai~ Hai~" Shin said and walk beside me

The class starts as usual and this year, our form teacher is Sakurai sensei. He is my favorite teacher and I like the way he teaches.

"Okay! First, we will change the seat. Everyone, please draw out a piece of paper in this box and the number you get is where your seat going to be for the rest of this year. Let's start now!" Sakurai sensei said

So I start first and followed by everyone.

"I got no 29, so that's mean my seat is at the back row near the window then." I said in mind.

I make my move to my new seat and put all my stuff there. So I'm going to sit here for the rest of my last year as a high school student. When I look on my left side from my seat, it's a guy and the right side is also a guy.

"Well, hope they don't disturb me for the rest of the class." I said in mind

"This is your permanent seat for now. Please be good to your seatmate next to you from now on. Class end here. " Sakurai sensei said

It's recess time, I usually go recess with my friend, Nishida Satomi in the school park. I always call her Sa-chan.

"Ko-chan, let's go~ I'm already hungry..." Satomi said

"Hai~Hai~" I said and we walk to the school park.

Usually, we will put a picnic mat on the grass so that our skirt will not dirty from the dirt. And we will start eating and rest there under the big tree.

"I can't believe I pass the year-end test last year and it was all thanks to you for tutoring me~ Now, we got in the same class again!" Satomi said and hug my arm.

"Hehehe~ You have done your best so that's what you got." I said and smiled

Actually, Satomi is my best friend from elementary school until now.

"Hey Ko-chan, still no boyfriend?" Satomi asked out of the blue

"What the... Sa-chan, don't talk nonsense. I will never fall in love." I said

"Tch, you never changed eh? Nevermind, you will have one soon." Satomi said and smirked

"Yeah yeah, whatever..." I shrugged

We spend our recess time talking about our holiday, how Satomi and her boyfriend spend the whole holiday. While I just told her that I spend the holiday working day and night.

*RINGGGG*

"So.. Let's get back to class, shall we?" I said

"Yeah~" Satomi said

We pack all the stuff and start walking to the class. On the half way to our classroom, I accidentally bump to a guy.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" I said and bowed

"Tch, are you blind? Are you alright, Yuta?" The girl beside him said

"I'm alright." He replied to the girl

Then Satomi and I walk away but then somebody touch my shoulder.

"Hey you, don't just walk like that. You haven't even apologize to me." He said to me

"Umm, Hello? Are you deaf? I just said sorry to you just now, I don't like to waste my time so I'm sorry again." I said and walk away from them

A minute later, Satomi talk to me about the guy.

"Ko-chan, do you know who is that guy? " She said

"Yeah, I do. He sits beside me in the class. Like, what the hell? I don't like his attitude at all, I already apologized to him and he make me said it twice?! Ughh.." I said

"He like to tease people, well you need to be tough enough to survive his teasing or joke if you sit beside him. And he likes to flirting too. " Satomi said and smirked

"Ahem, what with that face? I'm not interested at all to care about him. I will ignore him for the rest of the year." I said

"Alright, we'll see then, Ko chan." Satomi said and giggled

So, it is just the first day of school and it is really hard for me to concentrate in class. Because there is this idiot who stared at me whole day of all classes. I felt uncomfortable. Like, doesn't he need to listen to the class?

"Please handout your work today or tomorrow to class representative. Class end here for today." Sakurai sensei said

I walk to Sakurai sensei.

"Sensei, I have done my work. Here you go." I said and handout my work

"As expected, Mizuno!" Sakurai sensei said

"See you tomorrow, Sensei." I said and bowed

"See you tomorrow, Mizuno." He said and walk away.

I went to my seat and pack all my stuff. When I'm ready to go, someone called me out.

"Oi, you! What is your name?"

I turn back and it's him, the one I bumped to this afternoon.

"Mizuno Koharu." I said

"I see, the smartest girl in this school. I'm Fujiwara Yuta." Yuta said and smirked.

What is wrong with him smirking like an old man.

Then I said "Okay. Well, I'm in a rush now. Please excuse me." And quickly walked away from him.

He is really annoying, he reminds me of my father. I don't know why but I hope he will not do anything with my life for now.

Oh, that memories from that summer flashback through my mind. He ruined my day and now, I already hated him.
