When I think of my school, H high school I think of...escape? That sounds crazy doesn't it now? But in reality, I never found going home to be as warming as some other students have, another thing with Highschool we must take a test to get in if you can't pay the immense amount of money that the rich and snobby parents pay for their moronic children. I don't have that leisure in like others, you see first I took one of the "hard" tests to get in and it took me 10 minutes to complete. After you take your test that teachers probably couldn't get through their thick skulls that it had to be hard then you get put on a list and depending on your score then that chooses when you enter. I was accepted into the school 1 month after I took the test then, I was put into all top classes. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAhxV9ILNnc6
It astounded me the amount of students wanting to go to this school, no student taxes get paid off so most kids who don't have rich parents have to get a job and work to stay at this school. Me and my friends, Bobby and Jasper we have a small band kind of thing. Bobby is our drummer, Jasper and I were the bassist, all 3 of us were singers of the team. As a second job, me and Bobby work at a coffee shop near school and not a far walk from our houses. As I was saying before school is a way of escape, that may confuse some since before this I was saying how terrible the process is and how snobby the students are. H is an escape for me because when I'm there I can't hear his voice, my Mother's name is Chelsea and my father's name is Jinyoung if that all wasn't context enough then for everyone's surprise I'm half Korean half English. My father happens to no longer be with my family due to a accident according to my mother, I never actually met the man who I'm supposed to call father. Right now my mother is dating an imbecile named Akinori, he has a 8 year old daughter named Mina, I hate the man for good reason considering that he doesn't treat my mother right and it's a law in our home that we or at least I can't speak English when he's near because he can't understand the accent.640Please respect copyright.PENANA74lXP0dJdt
Even if I hated my home, I loved my mother and I had to stick by her plus I usually bring Bobby or Jasper there if something is happening at their homes that they'd prefer not to be involved in but if all of us have problems we just go to the park and play music together. I don't think I've ever written down music, well the lyrics that is, that is because we sing what's in our hearts and that's all on the spot so we have good days and bad days always.640Please respect copyright.PENANAfpOzstlHD9
Bobby and I have been friends the longest I think, 10 years of friendship right now since we met at the age of 8, Bobby is a English-Chinese nationality and his full name is Bobby Zhao, no middle name given. He has a little brother that has taken a liking to Jasper and a step mother that has taken a liking to Bobby and I. It was crazy how protective he was, Jasper hasn't come in visual range of Bobby's stepmom, another thing about Bobby is that his parents are divorced but live together and both of them are remarried, his mother to a 45 year old man and his father to a 20 year old girl which isn't very surprising but it's uncomfortable when she's only 2 years older than Bobby and she is his step-Mom.640Please respect copyright.PENANAnNG3jQMU3R
Jasper was a whole other story for us, he lives with his father who is as terrible as Akinori. Just as Bobby is protective of Jasper, Jasper is protective of Bobby I wouldn't speak terribly of Jasper's father even if it is in my mind but that man is kinda terrifying to me due to the way he speaks to his son. Jasper and his father's relationship was never actually loving, it was more in the way of a boss and worker, one orders the other around not actually getting personal and blames the worker if the boss does something wrong. Why I say that Jasper is protective of Bobby is because Jasper usually defends Bobby if his father starts questioning him about his life. Jasper's full name was Jasper Song-En Han, he is English-Chinese, his father being the Chinese side.640Please respect copyright.PENANARppkwmZBIx
We all actually had another friend but he still lives in Brent, London his name is Hachirō but considering he took minimal speaking effort in life and was usually on his phone with his girlfriend he claim to have but none of us met, due to his efforts of convincing or at least trying to and him not talking us about anything else none of us grew very close to him.640Please respect copyright.PENANAQyh4RTnqwe
For me, well my name is- "Theo!" I heard the sound of Bobby's voice interrupt my thoughts but that's my name but the real thing is longer, my name is Theodore Murakami, no middle name given and the boy in front of me flailing his arms in my face is Bobby. "Are you going to speak or be silent?" He asked and I just shrugged "Answer with wor-" "Let me think..." I interjected silently then Bobby sighed. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAlglICJff8v
Once I realized I've basically thought myself out of my own mindset I came back to earth, "Time for school" I said and Bobby looked at me with a glimmer in his eye. "Finally!" He practically screamed in joy, his mood soared straight into the ground realizing something. "What's wrong" I asked while turning on my heel and walking into school knowing he's behind me, "We have work straight after school." He said with dissatisfaction in his tone and I shrugged once again, "I don't have to go home now." I said happily. Bobby stayed silent behind me and after a while we heard a person yelling "Bobby!~" we heard a voice from the left and once i turned my head and saw dirty blonde hair belonging to no one other than Jasper. "I see i am unneeded in this friend group" i said sarcastically and Jasper pouted, "Sorry, are we gonna be able to play today?" Jasper inquired , Bobby and I shook our heads simultaneously. I opened my mouth to respond till Bobby cut me off, "We have work together".640Please respect copyright.PENANA09OT0ckOmo
It was funny to me how oblivious Bobby and Jasper were about how they act near each other. Bobby and Jasper have been friends for only 4 years, that is probably due to me waiting so long to have them meet since i was scared that they wouldn't ever like each other but as some say, "opposites attract". 640Please respect copyright.PENANAcBQ12FrdKs
After a short moment of silence, we all started walking to class and me not looking i knocking into someone. "I'm sorry" i apologized and reached my hand out to the person i knocked down, the person hit my hand then got themselves up "Watch where you are going, blockhead." they hissed and once i got a clear look of their face i saw it was a girl, she had long black hair and bright blue eyes. She didn't have a particularly welcoming attitude towards me but her face seemed familiar, "Are you going to get out of my way or try are make me fall for you like you did for every other girl?" She asserted and i looked at her confused then she scoffed quietly, "pretending like you did nothing..."640Please respect copyright.PENANAN6bV8AQXuc
I turned back and looked at Jasper and Bobby, both not as confused but more concerned. I thought about what she said not speaking a word to the two but i continued walking to homeroom.640Please respect copyright.PENANAsho1o8uVhy
I can grasp a good idea of what shes talking about, at this school there is this stupid rumor started by some random girl and it goes something like this, "Theodore Murakami dates girls just to break up with them", this is how it's said but in a more aggressive tone and by others. The rumor didn't scare me but it kinda lowered how anyone who isn't Jasper or Bobby think of me and now its considered as "good luck" to be of the girls who supposedly were dumped by me but they never thought that the guys that they are dating now would want payback, that's where it all goes downhill.640Please respect copyright.PENANAGxZtrmtCUy
That one girl from before, her name is Ito Chinami, most of her friends just call her Nami though, i remembered her name kind of since Bobby and Jasper are whispering to each other behind me. Of the things i've heard of her are that she is supposedly the nicest girl in this school and the smartest even though she isn't in the top 10 for every student and not top 3 for girls.640Please respect copyright.PENANAliB3Mss8Rf
No girls in this school were actually interesting to me so I've never even conversed with one of them unless they stop by the coffee shop and I have to take their order and that's all. I grew up with my mother and it's always been that way so I'm used to talking to females and now I have Mina to talk to which isn't that bad.640Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZcETc70pB
I sat at my desk, basking in the silence of the class till it was broken by the opening of a door and the rest of the class coming in.640Please respect copyright.PENANAvUtXYg7soz
Occasional glares coming my way from the guys walking in but that's daily so it isn't surprising, at H all the classes are separated by gender also each student has a teachers number for emergency but that teacher is the same gender and if not and the student texts for an emergency then said opposite gender teacher texts a teacher of the same gender of the student about the situation and it all gets sorted out by the newly informed teacher. We do have so periods like lunch with people of opposite gender but students who are single have come accustomed to being with the same gender.640Please respect copyright.PENANA9tKa9QOY44
Homeroom passed by swiftly then it was PE and that to went by fast, it wasn't until first period that things started going slowly but that was particularly because there was a new guy who sat by Jasper, I didn't pay attention when he was introducing himself but he looks like he's taken a liking more to Bobby than Jasper since he's been looking over and me and Bobby's desk every so often, our class was to big to support one other student so me and Bobby shared a desk for every class till we got another desk.640Please respect copyright.PENANAKysixJaToe
Lunch rolled around slowly and I felt a sense of tension once the bell rang for Lunch since Jasper was still talking with the new kid and it seemed that he plans to introduce us to him. I could care less if I meet the kid since he doesn't have any importance to my life story. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAAtgSU5UtCm
Jasper walked up to Bobby and I with the new kid behind him and before he could start talking I put my ear buds in and started walking "See you at Lunch" I said in English to Bobby quietly and he just nodded and Jasper looked at me with a slight astonished look like I did something wrong.640Please respect copyright.PENANAESP4dQv9In
After 10 minutes the signs of Bobby and Jasper became clear that they weren't coming so I just left the cafeteria since I don't eat at school.640Please respect copyright.PENANAzRkkrMnlFE
After Lunch I basically ignored the others for the rest of school and right before the bell rung for the end of the day I excused myself so I can change into my work clothes, basically consisting of a white button down, black pant, black boots, and my name tag. When I was ready I headed out to work and it only took 5 minutes to get there since I was running and I clocked in 3 minutes early.640Please respect copyright.PENANAAV9BPBNvDT
Work wasn't anything special, consisting of taking order from people who have time to drink coffee and conversing with my co-workers about said people's orders since thats the only reason I'd talk to them.640Please respect copyright.PENANAeNOliVHwcY
Today was like any normal day since on a normal day I wouldn't see kids from my school,etc me clear that up, today I saw a wild pack of female snakes that started the rumor about me "whispering" among themselves at a practical talking level that they thought no one could hear, I could hear at least the key point of the conversation but not all of it since I was doing something at the time.640Please respect copyright.PENANAep8QSLORXb
"Is she gonna so it...any minute...figure out what he's like." That's basically what I heard and I imagine they were talking about me but that's kinda narcissistic.640Please respect copyright.PENANACsMVaDStxd
"E-excuse me" I heard I high voice catch me off guard and then I looked at the owner of the voice it was a girl, she look younger than me, she had light brown hair and some of it was pulled into a high bun then she had greenish-blue eyes. She was wearing a oversized red cardigan and a black chocker, I haven't seen her before but I think I have...640Please respect copyright.PENANAE1IFzMhIwk
"Yes?" I asked blankly to her and she just started at her feet quickly, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I'm being forced to learn what you are like for my friends so they can do something dumb, play along with it." She said quietly and I fake smiled then placed my hand on her shoulder "Thank You for the compliment, would you like anything?" I lied in the beginning then decided to do my actual job and she nodded, after she ordered then I made the drink she ordered, an expresso before I actually made the drink I forgot about the key thing for our establishment, "Name?" I asked and she looked at me confused then I sighed "what's your name?" I repeated while holding the pen and cup in hand and she came back down to each realizing what I said "Akari, you can just put Kari though" she said and I nodded then wrote Akari since that sounded nicer to me and fixed up her expresso. After I gave her the drink I smiled at her still keeping the fake thing up since she may be yelled at if she doesn't do this.640Please respect copyright.PENANAEPOVDqX0f6
I've heard her name before but I don't exactly know where...After a couple hours then my shift ended along with Bobby's and we walked home together in silence not knowing what to say to each other but once I reached my home I was prepared for what was to come...I know that Akinori is in here alone probably lounging on the couch drinking a beer or something like that and when I open my door then I'll be ridiculed for no reason or I'll just be tossed around with like the first time I can home with only him here...640Please respect copyright.PENANA41HQcvTDyw
The first time was the only painful time then it all got more natural over time.
