Miaka Yuki was a 15-year-old teenager who had just arrived in Tokyo from Morioka. She had beautiful, silky black hair which reached all the way to her chest. It was laid back gracefully with a black ribbon and her fringe was shifted to the left side. Her brown eyes were gorgeous; it glowed with exuberance. She was sophisticated and had a slim figure. When she arrived in Morioka, she immediately signed up for Daichu Secondary School and on the induction day, she found out she had gotten into Class 4/1, which was the best class in the Secondary 4 Express Stream. Although she usually looked cheerful, she always carried a sorrow in her heart- she was an orphan. When her late parents passed away ten years ago when she was 10 in an unfortunate car accident, they left her with a massive amount of assets. This also taught her to be independent, even though she was like, extremely wealthy. She carried a white vintage bag which was exquisite and she was standing in front of the class, waiting for the teacher to announce her arrival.
“Class, kindly welcome the new student, Miaka Yuki!” Miss Yukari (Yukari-sensei in Japanese), the form teacher of Class 4/1 gladly announced.
“Hi, I’m Miaka. I’ve just arrived here, so I hope trouble any of you,” Miaka said and bowed gracefully.
“Oh no, you won’t we’ll be more than delighted to help you. I’m Yuuhi Aogiri and you can just call me Yuuhi,” a handsome guy who had beautiful black eyes and light brown hair smiled.
“Alright, now settle down. Miaka, could you take that vacant seat over there?” Miss Yukari pointed to an unoccupied seat beside an elegant girl. Miaka nodded and briskly headed towards the seat Miss Yukari told her to go to and put down her bag on to the chair.
“Hey, I’m Aya Mikage, but people usually call me Aya. Pleased to meet you, Miaka!” the elegant girl who was called Aya said cheerfully. Miaka returned her a gorgeous smile. As soon as everyone settled down, their very first lesson of the day, Geography, started.
“Ok, we’ll start by looking at different countries to see whether you did complete your assignments yesterday. Miaka, as you are a new student, it’s alright if you do know the answer.” Groaning came from most of the students as Miss Yukari sighed. She doubted that most of them completed their tasks given to them yesterday. Miss Yukari then questioned, “Can someone tell me what the capital of Canada is? She looked around, and then sighed in exasperation. “Does anyone want to attempt it?” No one took the initiative. She rubbed her temple, and then said, “Yuuhi, why don’t you try it?”
“Ok. I suppose it’s Toronto.”
“Yep, you’re right. Next question: What is the capital of Australia?” A few students raised up their hands, including Aya. “Yes, Aya?”
“It’s Canberra.”
“You’re absolutely right. Ok, this is a pretty difficult question. State four examples of the Lands of the Midnight Sun.” No one was confident of their answer but Miaka suddenly stood up.
“I know the answer.”
“Really? So, what’s the answer?”
“They’re Finland, Norway, Sweden and Ireland,” Miaka answered, full of confidence.
“Excellent! You may sit,” Miss Yukari smiled in elation. Wow. She’s so intelligent!
“Whoa, Miaka, you’re really brainy and smart!” Aya whispered.
“Nah, I’m just plain dumb,” Miaka shrugged. Yuuhi heard her voice as he was not too far away from her and shot her a “well done” look. Miaka blushed in embarrassment. As she was also deferential, she had always thought that she was stupid. Like… duh? Of course a boastful braggart wouldn’t make friends so quickly!
The rest of the lesson passed by with a whole lot of questions and man, the hard ones were mostly answered by either one of these three intelligent students: Aya, Yuuhi or Miaka for they were all geniuses in disguise. Miaka answered the most, though. She always spurred herself on, motivating herself that her late parents wanted the best for her and as such, had three years more of knowledge than most people. After Geography, the teacher teaching Additional Mathematics came in. The students stood up and greeted, “Good morning, Miss Kurosawa (Ohayo, Kurosawa-sensei in Japanese).” As Aya struggled through the questions, she was really pleased Miaka was sitting beside her. “Thanks, Miaka,” she thanked as Miaka taught her the question patiently.
Afterwards, it was break time and pupils rushed out of the classrooms. Most pupils often got extremely mutinous and bored whenever it came to curriculum time and as such, many were dashing for the canteen. Miaka was walking with Aya and chatting when suddenly, Yuuhi asked, “Miaka, do you want to go to the canteen with me?” Miaka shot Aya and Yuuhi a surprised look.
“What? Me? But … But … I’m going with… Aya…” Miaka stammered. Why would such a charismatic guy ask me to go to the canteen and spend the break time with him? It was clearly obvious that Yuuhi was starting to fall for Miaka since she was so sophisticated, intelligent and of course, not excluding she had a beautiful heart on the inside.
“…Then… it’s alright. Some other time, I guess,” Yuuhi replied, forcing a smile, but Miaka could still see the melancholy in his eyes. Not wanting to upset him, she thought of a plan.
“Aya, is it alright if Yuuhi comes along to spend the break time with us?” Aya nodded and then Miaka shouted, “Wait, Yuuhi! Why don’t we spend the break time together with Aya?”
Yuuhi turned back, hearing Miaka’s voice. “You wanna go with me?” he looked astounded.
“Yeah, let’s go!” Miaka replied jubilantly. Aya shot her a look full of happiness and Miaka returned the gesture.
When they reached canteen, Aya asked, “Miaka, what do you want? I’ll buy what you want on the way too, Yuuhi.”
“No Aya, it’s alright. I’ll go. Shiitake mushroom ramen for you? Miaka, why don’t you try the chicken bento? It’s really delectable.” Aya nodded and thanked him.
“Uh… I hope it’s not too cumbersome… thank you…” Miaka muttered awkwardly.
“Don’t mention it. I’ll treat you all,” Yuuhi replied in elation, then ran to purchase the meals.
“Whoa, Yuuhi is just so charming and kind!” Aya was smiling in great delight.
“Yeah, I‘ve gotta say he’s pretty nice,” Miaka shrugged as if it was no big deal.
Sigh. Looking at Miaka’s beauty, I think Yuuhi would most likely choose her over me. Sigh. If only I was Yuuhi’s girlfriend.
“Here you go!” Yuuhi smiled, interrupting Aya’s daydream.
“Oh, ur, thanks!” both of them chorused and started eating. It was really
“Miaka, I’ve got something to say to you. I think I’ve fell in love with you.” Yuuhi admitted, blushing deeply.
Miaka nearly splattered out all her food that was in her mouth. “WHAT? ME?”
“No, it’s alright, take it as I said nothing,” Yuuhi looked quite embarrassed while Aya looked sort of green with envy. Yuuhi then shifted to the extreme left.
“Say, Miaka, do you like Yuuhi?” Aya whispered to Miaka, making sure that Yuuhi could not hear what she was saying.
“What? Of course not! We’ve only met and what’s more, you’re more compatible for him. I mean, so I do treat him as a friend, but it’s not like we’re a couple!” Miaka hurriedly whispered back in a surprised voice. Aya kept silent though.
If only I was as sophisticated and intelligent as Miaka, then I wouldn’t have to worry about finding a boyfriend since Keisuke and I have fallen apart. Sigh. Why couldn’t I be just a little more fortunate like Miaka?
“Huh? What’s the matter, Aya?” Miaka asked with concern.
Faking a smile, Aya replied without hesitation, “Oh no, it’s nothing, Miaka.” But Miaka could see the dejected look in Aya’s eyes.
I really hope she’s not fed up with me. I think SHE’S the one who likes Yuuhi! But why on earth would such a guy with so much charisma fall for a pathetic idiot like me? It’s not like I’m desperate to find a perfect boyfriend!
