Summary: The almighty Sakurai Sho was the perfect student in Sora High-school. He was rich, smart, and hot. All girls in school were falling at his feet even though everybody knew about his playboy lifestyle. Aiba Masaki was a nice student, everyone wanted to be his friend. Sho and Aiba’s behaviors looked so different from one another. But you can’t judge the book by its cover, right?
Sho`s POV
I skipped all my classes today, not feeling like going to school at all. It`s been long since I last skipped any of my classes. I used to do it back in Junior High school, but after I met Aiba I never skipped any anymore.
Ah, Sho... Can you stop thinking about him? I knew the answer to my question, I`d been wondering about it for the last 2 years, at the least. Honestly, it wasn’t my first dream about Aiba, I had kept dreaming about him both, clothed or naked ever since I first saw him crying... At that time...
-Two years ago-
Someone softly knocked on my door.
“It`s me young master,” I heard my butler’s voice behind the door.
“Come in!” I said and he opened the door and walked in with a maid following him.
“Good morning young master,” they said at the same time and bowed low.
“Your vest, young master,” the maid bowed to me again and put my uniform on the chair. I didn’t really like if maids helped me to dress, so she didn’t even try it anymore.
“Would you like to eat your breakfast now, young master?” my butler asked me while bowing.
“Bring me my tea,” was my answer and my butler bowed again glancing up at the maid. She bowed to me again and left the room.
“Did my mother already left?” I hoped my voice was showing that I didn’t care one bit.
“Yes, young master, Mrs. Sakurai left early this morning,” he answered. I sighed, I didn’t care... I didn’t care at all...
The maid came to my room again, only pushing a trolley this time. She put down a teacup and a teapot, then poured the tea in my cup, adding some milk like she always did. She bowed and stepped back, positioning herself beside my butler.
I drank a little and stood up.
“Lets go,” I said to my butler.
“Yes, young master...” he said following me.
Before driving to school I made a stop at Ohno`s house, he was already waiting in front of his house, his expression not giving away anything, as close to expressionless as one can get. He opened the door, not waiting for my driver to do it for him. He sat himself beside me with his usual “Ohayou.”
“Ohayou,” I greeted him back. He was my only friend ever since we went to kindergarten together. I couldn’t really understand why exactly he kept hanging out with me. I knew it wasn’t because of my money, he always refused it if I was trying to buy lunch for him, he never let me treat him anything either.
“Sho-kun... I must say that I don’t really feel comfortable if you are picking me up,” he said while looking outside the window.
“I must say... I don’t really feel comfortable if I have to go to school alone in this car...”
“We must go to school by bus sometime then...” he suggested.
“We can’t do that, I hate those giggling girls.” That was true enough, I hated those giggling schoolgirls who were always trying to flirt with me.
“You hate everything,” he retorted.
“That’s true,” a little smirk appeared on my lips.
It had been 3 months since my first day in high school, I had gotten a nice rest kind of room after my father’s donation to my school, which had been one of the generous kind. I never did ask for drawing more attention on me, I opposed to that to be precise but he never listened to me. And now... Everyone knew about Sakurai family and the donation it had given to the school so my schoolmates treated me like a prince, they were never brave enough to even have a simple talk with me. So here I was, the lonely prince Sakurai Sho with his only friend - Ohno Satoshi.
The car stopped in front of the school gates. I waited for my driver to open the door for me so I could get out of the car, while Ohno had already opened his door by himself. That’s why I liked him, he never treated me any different than he would other ordinary people.
I felt the warm and dry air touching my face as the door was opened, I got out of the car and the driver bowed low to me.
“Have a nice day, young master...”
Yeah, I surely hoped so, even if I didn’t quite understand what a nice day was supposed to be like.
I passed the school’s gate entering the school grounds. I skipped my classes again and went to the roof - my favorite place in the entire world.
School’s roof was better than any other place in the world, even better than my own home.
“You`re skipping classes again,” it wasn’t a question so there was no need to answer it.
“I can graduate even I skip this class,” was my answer nevertheless.
“I know...” Ohno nodded in agreement. And that wasn’t because of my father’s donation; believe it or not, I was born smart. That was the reason for why I could always skip my class and still always easily pass my exams.
The bell rang at that moment.
“I have to run now Sho-kun, see you later,” he didn’t wait for my answer and ran to our next class. I was still on my way to the roof, walking slowly until someone crashed into me really hard. A body fell to the ground right in front of me.
“Gomen nasai!” I heard him apologizing to me. A boy with pretty face stared at me, scared. I stared right back at him, my facial expression cold. His eyes widened in shock after realizing who he had crashed into or maybe because he had heard the ridiculous rumors about me having yakuza as my bodyguard, what was, of course, false. Poor boy...
“Su-sumimasen...” he stuttered out.
I grabbed his arm so I could help him stand up, at least that was my intention, “Itaiii!!” he screamed at my touch, wincing a bit.
I was taken aback by that and let go of his arm. Did I pull him too hard? I had just wanted to help him up, maybe he thought I was mad at him now..?
“No... I`m sorry... You didn’t hurt me, I just..,” he stopped mid-sentence and stood up. His body looked skinny and fragile for a guy, and his pretty face made him look somewhat girly.
“Thank you... I mean, I`m sorry...” He looked at me.
I looked at him, probably looking bored, and nodded. He smiled widely and bowed. I returned the gesture and he ran to his classroom which happened to be the one nearest. I heard him yelling an excited “Ohayou minna!” to his class, then someone replying “You`re safe!” could be heard. Baka boy, huh? That kind of boys never have any problems in their lifes. I envy him…
I walked right past his classroom, till the end of the hallway and right up the stairs. I opened the door and felt the fresh air filling my lungs. The roof... I loved this place. I could think about anything and everything, I could be myself with no one interfering in my life. I chose the one corner that was hidden from everyone who might think of coming here, it was aloof the openness that most of the roof possessed. I laid down and gazing up saw the vast blue sky. Imagining what the first thing I`d do if I would be able to fly, maybe I`d fly to a deserted island and live there... I closed my eyes and could hear the sounds of waves and feel the soft, barely-there wind...
That was until I heard someone opening the door which led to the roof. I opened my eyes angry at whoever it was and checked my watch. It was almost lunchtime now, I had slept for a long time. I stood up and saw a woman walking out the door, to the roof. I stood still to make the woman, who turned out to actually be my biology teacher, realize that there is someone already here besides her... And her boyfriend...??
I took a few steps back so the wall would hide me. She dragged someone else with her, a boy... She giggled looking at the student and pulled him close and kissed him passionately. Or I would rather say they were snuggling in front of my eyes, stuck together. She placed her hand to the student’s neck, the other entangling in his hair, deepening the kiss; the student embraced her waist tightly. That was disgusting...
The next thing I knew - someone was opening the door and yelling at them.
“What are you doing??” I saw the boy from earlier, the pretty boy, yelling at them, a look of disbelief on his face.
“Ma-chan...?” the biology teacher looked utterly shocked. Oh well, she dated two students… That’s just perfect…
“I was looking for you in the lab, but I couldn’t find you so I came here to eat my lunch and then I saw you...” he wasn’t able to finish his thought.
“I`ll better go...” the other boy tried to leave, but that slutty and absolutely incompetent teacher held his hand.
“No... I`ll explain it to Ma-chan,” she winked at the boy whose hand she was holding.
“Explain it!” the boy who had just entered the scene, demanded.
I couldn’t really understand whether this boy was innocent or stupid… She is cheating on you!!!
“I cheated on you Ma-chan,” she said in a tone that implied she hadn’t done anything wrong. “And you can’t tell anyone about our affair Ma-chan, I know about your hooker mother and drunkard father, remember?” she smirked looking smug about herself. ‘That kind of boys never have any problems in their lifes’ was my most stupid, and wrong for that matter, thought of the day…
“But that’s not it…” I could feel that this boy didn’t want to advertise the affair and spread the information any further, he just wanted to know what was really going on.
“This is not about my parents!! This is about us!!” he was nearly yelling again.
“Well…There are no ‘us’ now, and to be honest, you`re a boring boy Ma-chan…” was what she replied.
“I won’t forgive you…” the boy wasn’t yelling anymore…
“I don’t need your forgiveness, Ma-chan,” she flashed him a smile and walked away, holding the other boy’s hand as doing so.
And then… Only I, hiding behind the wall, and the poor boy were left on the roof.
He stared at nothing in particular, just some point somewhere in the air, known only for him, his face blank and free of emotions.
I could feel his pain and if I could have turned the time back, I wish I wouldn’t have seen this scene. The next thing I saw was him crying out loud enough for me to hear it and hugging his knees tightly. I didn’t really understand why I had to try so hard to stop myself from hugging him and trying to erase his pain. I tried to think about reality, how the situation really was, like how I didn’t even know his name, how I met him just this morning, to hold myself back.
He tried to wipe away his tears, rising his sleeve to his face and I noticed some bruises on his pale skin. So that’s why he looked like he was hurt so much more than he should have been after such minor thing as bumping into someone, when I tried to pull him up.
I sat back again, keeping my position so that the boy wouldn’t be able to see me. I accompanied him even if he never knew about it…
~~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~~
I made that damned teacher pay for what she did by using my money to fire her. Yes… I used my money to make the school fire her and she deserved it! For once my money was something that had some more use to it.
I snapped back to reality when I heard someone opening the door. It was so similar with that time… I turned around to see who it was and for a second I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was standing there… Aiba Masaki…
