A week later I have to get up at 7 because today is my first day of school. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about it, but my mom really wants me to integrate right away. When I'm done with everyone, my mum sends me outside and gives me another kiss on the cheek. Great, now I'm all alone and have to find my way to school.
"Are you excited already?" Calls out a voice.
I turn around and see Heiji and Yuna with their bikes.
"Well .. It works. It's just a school.", I answer.
"If you think so. Do you want to walk the 3 kilometers through the city?"
3 kilometers ??
"Uh ... no, I mean ... I didn't know it was time."
"Do you have a bike?" Heiji asks me.
"Yes."
"Then better get it. We'll wait here so long.", He says and I quickly go to the shed, get my bike and the three of us go to my new school.
After 15 minutes of driving halfway through town, we finally arrived at my new school."You're in my class anyway, so I can initiate you into everything," says Heiji and I accompany him to our classroom.
I step in shyly and look around and see Kenji right away, who is talking to a few other boys. When he sees Heiji he starts right away:
"Well, super detective. Where did you leave your sweetie."
"Better leave your stupid drivel, Kenji. You can tell how stupid you are.", Heiji defends himself.
"But I'm right. It's your sweetie."
"Not exactly!", Heiji is already getting a little louder.
"But she said ..."
"Yeah, but that was just kidding, got it?"
"What, Heiji has a girlfriend? Who is she?" I hear a girl's voice from behind.
"Oh, Kisumi, forget it!", Heiji repels and sits down in his seat.
Now I'm really getting in and everyone is staring at me.
"There, that's it!", Kenji shouts right away and I blush a little. If only I hadn't said it, stupid cow.Everyone is staring at me and I can't get a single sound out. Fortunately, Heiji still save me:
"No, that's not true. She is not my friend. There is a mix-up."
"But she said it herself.", Kenji contradicts.
"That was just for fun. I wanted to defend him." I can finally talk again.
"Well, I believe you!" Shouts a girl with shoulder length, dark brown hair and green eyes from behind, who now comes to the front and stands next to me.
"Honestly folks. Who is Heiji's girlfriend voluntarily? And everyone likes to put Kenji in, right?"
At the 1st comment she cleared Heiji and now speaks:
"Don't get cheeky, Imaro."
"It was just a joke, Heiji.", She says and innocently sticks her tongue out a little.
Then she asks me:
"What's the name of the shepherd next to me?"
"I ... I am Kazuha."
"Nice name. Come with me! There is still a space next to me."
I smile at her, relieved and grateful, and sit down next to her.Then the teacher comes and everyone gets up.
"Good morning class!"
"Good morning Miss Mihano."
"Right at the beginning I would like to announce with pleasure that we have a new classmate. Kazuha, would you please come forward.", Says the teacher and I stand in front of the class. How I hate that.
"So, my name is ..."
"Kazuha Tomaya. Everyone already knows that!" Shouts Kenji and I admonish the teacher immediately.
"Well, what else should I tell you. I live at 31 / b Mayong Street and ..."
"That's right next to Heiji!" Shouts the girl they called Kisumi.
"Yes, what?" I ask back, but she remains silent.
I sigh again and started talking about Nagoya and why we moved here. After 10 minutes I can finally sit down.
"That is very interesting, Kazuha. Well, I think you will find your way around our subject."
The rest of the day is completely normal. Imaro and her friends show me the school and Heiji always tries to avoid me as much as possible.Stupid guy. I didn't do anything to him. During the meal break, Imaro keeps a seat free for me. She seems to like me. Yay !! As I sit down next to her, she asks me:
"How did you actually get to know Heiji?"
"Well, how well. We are neighbors." I can't tell you that in the hospital.
"And how is he like?"
"How is he? You must know that best. I've only known him for a few weeks."
"But I want to hear your opinion on him."
"Why?"
"Oh, just like that.", She says and waves her hand.
What is she up to?
Suddenly Lisa, a friend of Imaro's, starts giggling and sometimes looks at me.
"What's going on?" Imaro asks, moving closer.
I imitate her, as the other and Lisa say:
"Heiji and his gang are sitting 3 tables away. And guess who he's always watching!"
"No, there is no such thing!"
"Yes, and he is always absent when someone talks to him. Isn't that cute."
I already blushed and leaned back a little further."Hey Kazu, are you hiding something from us." Imaro asks and the clique looks at me curiously.
"The thought makes me sick. So leave me alone." I say a little louder, take my tray, hand it in and go out to a bench in the courtyard. That's impossible. They're teasing me about these idiots. That was just a lie anyway, I hope. I did something with this girlfriend story with Kenji.
"Here, we still have to read that.", Someone says to me and hands me a blue paperback with the silver inscription: Masuko, by Eyo Suzuki
I look up and see Heiji. I am very amazed and forget to take the book and then he says:
"Well, you want it now, don't you? You still need a good grade and I would read that. It's not that bad, either."
Still shocked, I slowly accept it and leaf through it a bit. In fact, Heiji even sits down next to me and says:
"You have until Thursday. I think it won't be difficult for you, since you read a lot anyway.Well, then have fun. Bye."
He gets up again and leaves. What is it that suddenly got into them? Does he want to talk to me? Thank you so much for your kindness, idiot!
"And what did he want?" Suddenly comes from behind and I get a little frightened.
"Yeah, what did he say?"
Imaro and Lisa suddenly sit down next to me and look at me expectantly. I lift the book up a little indifferently and the two of them just sigh.
"What did you think?" I ask indignantly.
"Oh, forget it!", It only comes from Imaro and the two of them leave again.
Half past three I cycle home after this exhausting first day, although I get lost several times. At some point I give up and stop at a café. I need a road map. Or I would have to ask someone.
"Oh, who do we have there. The new one.", Someone calls from behind and I see, after I have turned around, that it is Kisumi with her 2 other friends.
"What is it?" I ask indifferently and turn back to the front."Don't get cheeky!" Kisumi snaps at me.
What did I do to her?
"You stupid cow. Do you think I can't see what's going on here?"
"Expires? What's going on?"; I ask in amazement.
"Oh, don't act so innocent now."
Now her friends circle me and give me angry looks while Kisumi stands in front of me and gives me a more deadly look.
"You want to throw yourself at Heiji, but very powerful!"
Is that your only concern?
"You have a complete tit. Why should I?"
"Why? Because he's handsome, because he's charming, maybe?"
"If you think it's so great, why don't you grab it?"
"I'm trying to do that, just ..."
"Oh, I'm getting to know you better? I didn't think it would go that fast.", Comes a voice from the right and Kisumi and her friends take a step back so that I can also see who said that Has. And, in fact, Heiji is barely 5 meters away with his bike."Kisumi, I didn't even know you were so sociable."
"Oh you know ... Heiji ... um ..."
"You have to get along in a class, don't you? Kazuha, should I accompany you home? You don't know your way around here yet.", Asks Heiji and grins a little.
I nod, grab my bike and push it up to Heiji before I have to endure the looks from the trio again. Heiji waves to them again and we both drive off. At the first traffic light I say to Heiji:
"Thanks. I couldn't have lasted a minute longer."
To which he replies;
"Yeah, I know. They're bad."
"They accused me of why you talk to me so often and that kind of thing. Totally stupid."
"Yes, I got it. That's why I went to you."
"You noticed everything? Now you know that Kisumi is into you."
"I've known that for a long time."
And as we drive across the street, when the traffic light turned blue, he adds:
"Unfortunately!"
"Unfortunately, why? I thought you'd be happy.""Happy? Do you have tit? I can't take off this bitch. She's so on the wreath with 'Oh Heiji.' And 'Hello Heiji, how are you doing?'"
When he copied Kisumi I have to laugh. He got it right to the point.
"How long have you known?"
"Since 4th grade!" He says, a little annoyed.
"What so long? Didn't you even tell her that you didn't want anything from her? And, me
My, you're not that great either. "
"I beg your pardon? What do you mean by that?" He says with a fiery temper and looks grimly into my eyes.
"I'd rather not tell you."
"Come on, out with the language."
Now it is getting louder and has come a little closer.
"Ok, but you mustn't hit me. I mean that you're not exactly the most handsome guy in school. And you're not really nice and charming either. So I don't understand Kisumi."
Before I argue with him now, I prefer to quit.
"Bye." I call out quickly, get on my bike and make me get away."What is it?", Heiji calls after me, but I don't fall for his trick.
He just wants me to stop so he can have me. Not with me!
I step a little faster on the pedals and cleverly avoid the people who come towards me.
"Hey Kazu, wait a minute."
I stopped, startled. I beg your pardon, Kazu? Out of breath, he slowly approaches and gets off his bike.
"Man, you can be really fast!"
I keep silent and just look at him in disbelief.
"So ..." he starts, but I interrupt him:
"Please don't harm me!" And hold my arms protectively in front of my face.
"We please? Why should I hurt you?"
I slowly straighten up and shrug my shoulders. Then we go home normally. In front of the garden fence I say goodbye to
