Chapter 2:

A new period begins

From Loneliness to Love


It's been a week since Yuki played with that mysterious girl and although he went to the field he hasn't seen her again.                                                              —I'm going to school now.— He says goodbye to his mother before leaving.    —Take care.— She answers.                      It's a beautiful day in september a new school period begins, Yuki was heading to the subway station, as usual while he was walking the girls who saw him looked at and talked to each other. Yuki is an attractive young man, he is 1.87cm tall, has black hair and due to his practice in sports, has a well-formed body, so it was very common for even unknown people to see it.                At the station, while waiting for the subway to arrive, a girl wearing a different uniform than Yuki approached him. —Ex-excuse me, I want to give you this!— With a nervous voice the girl hands him a letter —I've seen you for a long time and I want you to know my feelings— He had just received a confession of love.                                        In his face you could see that Yuki was uncomfortable with the situation.              —I'm flattered but I can't accept your letter.— Kindly decline the letter.               —Even if you don't reciprocate my feelings, please accept the letter— The girl insisted.                                                  Not knowing how to react, Yuki tries to come up with an excuse.                              —I can't accept the letter because...          —He is with me.— Before he can finish his sentence, a person interrupts and puts their arm around his shoulder, he was a tall boy with long hair who wore the same uniform as Yuki, that boy's name is Ryuu Izumi and he is Yuki's best friend.                                                              —He's right my heart belongs to him—Yuki puts his hand on his friend's cheek and looks directly into his eyes.                The girl blushes when she sees such a scene. —This can not be possible.— A little blood comes out of her nose and realizing that she runs away.                      —Haha you saw the expression she had.— Yuki laughs with his friend.                    —Yeah looks like she totally bought this— Responds Ryuu removing his arm.        —By the way, thank you very much, you saved me from a difficult situation.          —That's what friends are for.—                  At the end of this sentence, the subway arrives and they go up to their school.   

—The new period has just started and you already received a confession, that must be a new record.— Ryuu comments as the two ride the subway.    —It's a bad start to the period.— Answer Yuki.                                                                —Most guys would have been happy to get a confession.                                          —Receiving a confession from a stranger is not nice, it's very awkward, she wasn't even able to tell me her name before.      —Maybe you're right, but at least with the scene we put together, you won't be getting confessions on the subway for a long time.                                                        —I wish we could do something to make the girls at school leave me alone.          —We could kiss in front of them so they'll leave you alone haha.— Ryuu says laughing.                                                           —Of course not, I want to be calm not ruin my reputation.                                      —Would it bother you if people think you're gay?                                                    —No, it would bother me if people think I have bad taste in choosing a partner haha.                                                            —Many people would like to have me as a boyfriend.— Ryuu answers with a wink, between jokes and laughter they reach the school.                                          

They both arrive at school, again Yuki attracts glances, the two go to the lockers for their sneakers.                          —See you at lunchtime.— They both say goodbye and go to their respective salons.                                        As soon as he enters his room, Yuki is greeted by all his classmates.                    —The great star of this school has arrived.                                                            —Thank you very much for the welcome.—Yuki greets his classmates kindly,Although they are not really close, he is dedicated to talking with others.    —Guys I heard a rumor that a new student is coming today.                            —Oh really and do you know if it's a guy or a girl?                                                          —According to the information I have, it is a girl.— He directs his gaze towards Yuki. —You will surely have a new fan.— His classmate jokes.                                      —Maybe you are right.— Yuki replies discouraged since he is not interested in the topic.                                                      The students seek their seats when they see the teacher enter.                                  —Good morning guys, before class starts I have an announcement to make.— The teacher stands in front of all his students. —From today a new classmate will join this class, you can enter now.— The teacher speaks towards the door.   Immediately a girl with short hair enters the room, Yuki was shocked since he had already seen her before.                            With a lot of energy the new girl introduces herself to the class.                  —Hello my name is Hanako Fujiwara,I lived in England for 5 years and just came back to Japan, I hope I get along with everyone.— She ends up smiling at her new companions. After a week Yuki sees the girl he met before again.            Maybe this new period won't be so bad, Yuki thought happily.
