Sakura Tree
Chapter 1
Just Another Day
Reading minds is fun, you know? Wait, of course you don鈥檛 know, cause you鈥檙e a loser! So yeah, my name is Nao Katakurushii, but my first name is just Nao.
I was so bored at school today, cause my Algebra 2 teacher kept going on and on about鈥?well, you don鈥檛 need to know what he was talking about (because I don鈥檛).
Well I鈥檓 just sitting here in room 24 and staring out the window鈥?(It鈥檚 almost time for lunch ^_^)
Well the bell rang I rushed out as fast as possible. I met up with Izumi Makezugirai, my best friend鈥?he鈥檚 pretty emo, but we鈥檒l live鈥?his hair is like, dyed black and its pretty long鈥?always covering his eyes, but he鈥檚 really lively and my hair is long too, but it鈥檚 naturally black. Well he鈥檚 pretty tall, and slim.
While he looks emo, he doesn鈥檛 act like it. I on the other hand am emo. I like the quiet and the dark鈥?but I would never do something as stupid as to cut and hurt myself. Those are for wannabe emos. Real ones are just quiet and quaint and to themselves.
Izumi and I don鈥檛 like to eat much, the school lunches are鈥?green鈥?br>
鈥淚鈥檓 so bored today!鈥?he said. I guess I can鈥檛 blame him. The beginning of 10th grade is so boring! It鈥檚 only been the second week of the year. We sound like losers huh? Well鈥?we鈥檙e actually pretty popular. We don鈥檛 know why, we don鈥檛 talk to many other people, but I guess it鈥檚 just because we look good, just kidding. No seriously, that鈥檚 why I think it is. Nah, everyone else is just ugly.
鈥淲hat do you wanna do?鈥?I asked.
鈥淵ou know it can鈥檛 be just us, we need to start a group.鈥?br>
鈥淚t鈥檚 not that easy, even if everyone likes us. We have to choose carefully on who we want to be our friends.鈥?br>
鈥淪ure we do.鈥?br>
I admit that we could try to be more social, but I guess I keep holding us back鈥?Mostly because, like I said, most of the people were ugly鈥?and I wanted a group of cool people. You can鈥檛 blame me!
鈥淵ou know how this is Japan?鈥?Izumi asked.
鈥淵eah,鈥?I replied.
鈥淗ow come we don鈥檛 speak Japanese?鈥?br>
鈥淚 think it鈥檚 because this story is written in America鈥? I dunno.鈥?br>
Oh yeah, remember when I talked about mind reading? Well, I鈥檓 a mind reader!! It鈥檚 so cool, but you should know all the trouble I had to go through for this power. Okay there was this鈥?and than there was鈥?Oh and I can鈥檛 forget the time when that giant scorpion鈥?oh and than mermaid, she was violent!! But yeah, that was how I came to mind read. So I鈥檓 a teenage psychic!
I make Izumi jealous all the time! Okay, there was one cute girl that he liked and I started to read exactly what she liked in a guy and I asked her out! That鈥檚 kinda mean, but hey! Besides, I dumped her after a week, because鈥?well I felt like she was starting to like me. When girls do that they get all clingy and dependent of the guys, and I didn鈥檛 really like her much anyways.
I don鈥檛 even like half the girls I date. Oh well, I guess my mind reading is cooler than Izumi鈥檚 鈥渟kill鈥?to ride his bike faster than a race car *cough he ended up in the hospital a couple of times*.
Well nobody knows I can mind read鈥?I mean, they鈥檒l try to stop thinking and what fun will that be? And that also means that they can鈥檛 focus in school causing an academic mess. So overall Sakura Tree would have been a normal and typical series, but I had to go and mess it up and be psychic. Teeheee!
The lunch bell rang and Izumi and I left for English. There was some old guy watching our teacher. She鈥檚 pretty cool, young, and the first time I saw her I though she was a student, but our mean principal doesn鈥檛 like popular teachers and I guess he assigned that guy to watch over her and catch every bit of mistake.
Izumi and I sat in the back of the class. I saw the old guy sit behind this brunette; I think her name was Heta Miyukuren. I just had to tap into her mind.
鈥淥HMYGOSH!! This old guy is sitting behind me! Behind me, behind me, behind me, behind me, behind me, BEHIND ME!! What if he鈥檚 a trained assassin?! Or a clown? Or some guy my mom hired to embarrass me and ruin my social life!!鈥?br>
I than turned to Unaru Unarimasu, the guy to the left of the man.
鈥淥h, what鈥檚 with this dude? What if鈥?what if he鈥檚鈥?perverted?! I can鈥檛 have an old man touching me here and there!鈥?br>
I saw him scoot a little to the left. I looked Sappari Wakaranai the girl to the man鈥檚 right.
鈥淓www! This guy bugs!! Why can鈥檛 he go die on the moon? Or why can鈥檛 he die of severe foot injuries?鈥?br>
Okay鈥?I guess that the man is kinda weird, but hey鈥?what can he do? Ms. Wilder came into the class room, smiling.
鈥淭oday class鈥?Mr. Harponsnooper,鈥?she said to the man, he smiled politely. 鈥淭oday we have to learn about-
She was interrupted by a soft knock on the door. Everyone turned to see a girl. She was cute with her salmon colored hair, and her preppy little outfit. Her features were subdued except for the slightly colorful clothing she had.
鈥淯mm鈥?m-my name is Amai Kioku鈥?I鈥檓 a new student,鈥?she said shyly. She nervously looked around the classroom and saw me looking at her. She smiled a sweet smile at me.
鈥淗mm鈥?okay, let me just figure out where you can sit,鈥?Ms. Wilder said and looked around. 鈥淭ake that seat in front of Nao there.鈥?br>
Amai walked quietly over to me and took a seat in front of me. I like her, and I don鈥檛 even know her鈥?but there鈥檚 something about her, I think it鈥檚 because she鈥檚 so nice looking and sweet and鈥?she smells like strawberries, that鈥檚 my favorite fruit!
I couldn鈥檛 pay any attention to Ms. Wilder at all, seeing that the new girl was so interesting. Good thing she didn鈥檛 turn around to talk to me the whole time, because that let me stare at her all period long.
The bell rang, but I didn鈥檛 want class to end. I got up when Izumi did and we walked up to the door, and I did such a classy thing! I opened the door for Amai. She did her sweet smile again and left.
Izumi and I had 3rd, 5th, and 6th period together, so we walked side by side to our history classroom.
鈥淒ude, I know,鈥?Izumi said.
鈥淎bout what?鈥?I asked all puzzled.
鈥淵ou like the new girl!鈥?He said making kissy faces at me. I pushed him playfully and we continued to History.
The classroom was aligned in rows. Izumi sat to my right and the seat to my left was uninhabited. I couldn鈥檛 believe my eyes when I saw Amai walk into the classroom. She headed over to our teacher and he pointed to the seat next to me and the other one next to Stinky Kusaku Narimasu.
I smiled at her and she took that as a welcome and came over.
鈥淪o I have you for two classes, eh?鈥?I asked. I eyed her and started reading her like an open book.
鈥淚-I don鈥檛 want to make a fool of myself鈥?but this guy seems nice鈥?he鈥檚 cute too鈥?WHA!! What am I thinking?! This is pretty straight-forward鈥︹€?br>
鈥淵-yes,鈥?she said. I couldn鈥檛 help, but feel good about myself. I turned to Izumi and made an I OWN YOU face. I get to sit next to Amai and he gets to sit next to Sappari, who really likes the two of us, especially Izumi, but Izumi really hates her.
鈥淭oday class, we鈥檒l be doing a history project. Partner up pleases or I鈥檒l choose partners for you.鈥?br>
Izumi asked to be my partner. Amai looked very left out.
鈥淣ao,鈥?Sappari said.
鈥淲hat?鈥?br>
鈥淚zumi got to be your partner last time! Couldn鈥檛 he be with me once?鈥?br>
I had to hold in my laughter and let out a soft giggle, 鈥淐ourse he can be your partner, not like I own him.鈥?br>
Izumi made a surprised face at me and started making your dead signals as Sappari grabbed his hand and dragged him away to another table. I got up and looked around for a new partner, and a whole bunch of girls that I didn鈥檛 like started for me. I don鈥檛 care if they like me or not.
I quickly got down, 鈥淎mai, can you be my partner?鈥?br>
She looked shocked and said yes. She gave me her address. The teacher took the rest of the period explaining our project. Something about the Great Wall of China, but dude, this is Japan.
I met with Amai after school.
鈥淪o you鈥檙e new here right?鈥?I asked.
鈥淯mm... Y-yes,鈥?she gently replied.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to be shy. Consider me your first friend here.鈥?br>
鈥淭hank you,鈥?she sputtered and blushed. Izumi then rushed up to me.
鈥淣AO!! You ruined my life!! Sappari is smothering me in kisses!鈥?br>
鈥淲ell, at least she really likes you. Oh and this is Amai. Amai, this is Izumi, my bestie.鈥?br>
鈥淎mai Kioku, pleasure to meet you!鈥?she said with a calm smile, her face lit up and her hair was flowing in the wind. The petals from the Sakura Trees were drifting in the air.
The End
