Ripples [1]
A/N: Chapter One. Enjoy ^^
FROM PROLOGUE:
He was just a transfer student, this was our first time to see each other, and this is how I feel.
Kris Wu, 16, now a transfer student at Sakura Tamashi High.
I’m just Naoko Kujo, 16, President of second year, Class B.
~o~
“Hey, Naoko-san…” Sungmin said. She was a petite yet voluptuous teenage girl and every boy in their school had fallen for her.
“Oh, hi, Sungmin-chan…” Naoko said.
Naoko Kujo, 16 years of age, Class President of 2-B. She had long, straight black hair, which flows just below her elbows. Her brownish black eyes wherein they resisting looking at deeper things, which kept her innocence. Her lips, small and pinkish-like, tried to smile at her classmate. She wasn’t feeling fine at all. She knew there was something wrong or something will happen.
“Naoko-san, are you okay?”
“Ah, um, yes, yes, I’m fine,” chuckled the president. Sungmin then smiled and sat down beside her. Each one of their classmates was coming in. The semestral break had just finished. Spring will just be around the corner since it was the start of the new year.
When suddenly…
“Okay, okay, settle down, everyone. Make it faster,” said their teacher, Mizuki Aora, “I’m going to make an announcement. Well, more likely a surprise.”
When she saw that everyone had settled down, she slid the classroom door and said to someone to come in. Everyone looked at him and was stunned. Most of the girls were in awe whilst the boys were amusingly afraid.
“Now,” Miss Mizuki said, “You introduce yourself.”
“Hello,” the dazzling man greeted, “My name is Kris Wu. Please take care of me.”
“Now then, he’s a transferee from Canada and he will be your classmate starting from today. Um, you may sit wherever you think is comfortable to you.”
Kris bowed down and looked around. There were only three available seats, one, at the third row by the aisle, two, at the farthest row at the back, near the window, and the last, was right beside Naoko.
He then carried his bag and went to the farthest one.
“So cool~” Sungmin said as she glued her eyes to the new student. He was really tall, had bleached blonde hair, had an earring at his left ear, and really looked too serious.
“Watch your words, Minnie-chan,” Naoko smiled, “you wouldn’t want your gamer from Class A hear that you’re hitting on the new student, right?”
“Aww… He’s just so perfect, Naoko-san,” she whispered back as Miss Mizuki started the day’s lesson. Naoko just smiled and turned around. She saw him, looking outside the window.
He seems so…lonely, she thought, staring at him more, I hope… I do hope… There’s something I could do for you.
“Naoko-chan, stop staring to our new student.”
Naoko looked immediately in front of her and was surprised that even her classmates were looking at her. Some were annoyed, some wanted to burst out laughing, especially Sungmin. Miss Mizuki just sighed and get on to her lesson.
“So, who looks more stupid now, Naoko-san?” Sungmin whispered, giggling.
~o~
Lunch break.
Naoko sat down at the empty space at their campus rooftop. It was indeed sunny so she looked for a place that was covering the sunlight. She found a spot but saw a student already occupying the said place. Still, she went there and brought out her bento box. Sungmin wasn’t with her since she went on to cut class with Kyuhyun. It was only their first day since the semestral break but it wasn’t an exception.
“Seriously”, she said to herself, “if I did have a boyfriend, I would not let him get away with what he only wants. If he does love me, he should know our private lives. No one must interfere at all.”
“Oh really?”
Naoko gasped and the soy sauce almost spilled over her skirt. She turned around and saw the sleeping figure. She widened her eyes as wide as she can for the person in front of her was the least person she expects.
“K-Kris…”
“Hello there, Miss President,” he said. He got up, yawned, and stretched, revealing his flat stomach. His big and long arms who can actually grab Naoko from his seat and long legs which were centimetres away from Naoko’s bento box made her stunned for a moment.
It was really embarrassing. At least, for her side.
“What are you-”
“Sleeping… I don’t wanna eat anyway.”
“Oh, I see…”
“So,” he moved beside her, “what was that if-I-had-a-boyfriend rant?”
Her flushed face dared not to look at him. One was from nervousness for being so close to him and two, her embarrassment from what she just said.
I think I’m digging my grave right now, she thought.
“I-it’s not… It’s none of your business…”
“Okay, then…”
She looked at him and saw that he was looking miles away from where he was sitting, admiring the view. She looked in front of her and,well, it was just buildings and white clouds.
“I’m really sorry if I stared at you for so long earlier…”
“Is that a sin?”
“Huh? Excuse me?”
“Is staring at people,” he moved closer to her and looked at her brownish black eyes, “a sin?”
“Uh… N-no…” Blood was overflowing at the top of her head. He smiled and ruffled her hair.
“Then, you don’t have to say you’re sorry.”
She, then, smiled and started eating. It was only ten pieces of sushi, but it was more enough for her.
“You could say you’re sorry for disturbing my nap. THAT, for me, is a mortal sin.”
“HUH?!”
“Why? Do you like it when people disturb you while sleeping? Or they just rant out of the blue?”
“Hey,” she started, but he was already walking away from her, “what the… wait a minute, Kris Wu! How dare you-”
“Eh,” Kris turned to her. This time, his gaze can actually give Naoko a heart attack. He looked serious, “Babo. Whatever, you disturbed me. So just say you’re sorry and shut your mouth.”
“WHAT?! JUST FOR THAT?!”
“Yes, Miss President,” Kris said, turning the doorknob, “Say ‘sorry, I disturbed you’, then everything will be fine.”
“BABO!”
“Okay, then,” he opened the door and slammed it.
Bipolar freak, her mind cried out.
As he closed the door, Kris just smiled.
Too cute…
