Chapter 1

Neha, Akimitsu and Hitomi were starting their first day in highschool, Rich Kid Academy. They all came in at different times, Neha was early since she wanted to get a chance to look around the school before the halls grew crowded. Akimitsu was next, on time with the rest of the students, he went to the gymnasium with everyone as they were gathered for new student orientation. Hitomi was late. He came just as his second class started.

Luckily for Hitomi and Akimitsu, they had the same second class. Akimitsu sat in the back, at an empty desk, hoping it would stay that way. Then walked in Hitomi. “Well hello new student! Your name is?” The cheery teacher asked. Hitomi looked him up and down, sighing before answering, “Yanagisawa, Hitomi.” He watched the teacher look over the attendance sheet before smiling at him, “You can sit wherever you’d like!”

Hitomi looked over the room before stalking his way to the back of the room. A couple people were staring heavily, he already looked like trouble and it was only his first day... Hitomi looked at the seat next to Akimitsu and the seat that a girl was clearly offering him. Akimitsu smiled, watching as Hitomi nudged the empty chair next to him with his foot before sitting down. They were silent for a portion of class before Hitomi mumbled, “yeah, im skipping this shit...” before standing up. Akimitsu watched and then smiled as Hitomi left, unnoticed by the teacher, chuckling before he silently stood up and followed

The next period was lunch. Hitomi went outside and found a spot to chill. Akimitsu was in the lunchroom at first, he got the school lunch and sat down to eat. Neha went outside, seeing the basketball court was pretty empty so she went to sit there and play games. As she walked she stopped at the vending machine, quickly getting her favorite drink of mango and strawberry juice. She grabbed the can, wiped the top before cracking it open and sipping.

She then headed for the court, finding a shaded corner and sitting her bag down before sitting on top of it. Neha pulled out her phone and started to play her favorite game, 2048, she doesn’t know why it was addicting but she loved it. She pressed the buttons on her flip phone, watching the blocks move across the screen. Meanwhile Hitomi scrolled on Spaces (Facebook type shii), looking at posts from his old classmates from his previous school. Akimitsu was on his way out and spotted Hitomi.

Akimi smiled and walked over towards his friend, “Yo!” he smiled, Hitomi immediately shooting him a glare. “Woah.. okay.. just say you hate me.” Akimitsu spoke, stopping short of Hitomi, “i hate you.” Hitomi said, sarcasm laced under his tone. They stared at eachother before Aki cracked a smile and sat next to Hito. “How was your summer?” Aki asked. “Eh, same old same old. Mom just being all… well her, about high-school and telling me to behave and be good” Hito rolled his eyes.

The boys spoke to eachother for a bit longer, before Hitomi got bored and pointed to the basketball court. The two got up and headed through the gates and picked up a ball each. They started practicing, shooting and occasionally missing (a lot). They decided to play HORSE, shooting, getting letters and spelling the word. “alright! If I get this one I win” Hitomi smirked. Akimitsu grumbled and mocked him quietly. Hitomi shot and... somehow completely MISSED.

Neha smiled as she beat her high score, then flinched as a ball whizzed past her head. “what th-” She turned her head.

Akimitsu laughed and shot.

[Thwack!]

“oh fuck-”

“dude she’s bleeding!! oh were so screwed!”

"We?! You threw it!”

“What?!”

“You heard me!.. Just leave her here, come on!”

Neha’s eyes opened up slowly as she saw the nurse’s office, the ceiling at least. “ugh.. what.. where am I?” Neha asked quietly as she looked around. The nurse soon appeared at her side, “shh shh, hun. Relax.” The nurse spoke softly, “luckily nothing is broken, just a really bad nose bleed.” Neha’s eyes widened and she reached for her nose, “What- ow!! Fuck!” She hissed in pain. Akimitsu flinched a little from where he was, “ouch..” he whispered. Hitomi was on his phone.

“These two lovely young men brought you here, said they found you in the court” The nurse gestured to Hitomi and Akimitsu. Neha snapped her head in their direction and stared. Hitomi glanced up and waved, Akimitsu waved awkwardly. Neha stared... then realization filled her eyes, “It was you two that threw the ball at me!!” She shouted, the nurse gasped.

Hitomi turned off his phone, “woah-” “i-it wasn’t us!! it was- some- some delinquent!” Akimitsu lied. Neha looked at Hitomi. “WOAH!?” Hitomi said and hit Akimitsu. “Sorry- not him.. some other.. other delinquet” Akimitsu gulped. “no, no no it was you! I saw you! I cant believe you would hit me then lie!” Neha glared.

“I didn’t liiiee” Neha mocked Akimi’s voice. “I do not sound like that” Akimi rolled his eyes. Neha giggled as she sipped her drink, “yes you did, I cant believe you would hit a girl Akimitsu.. shameful” she nudged him. “Don’t say that out loud! You know how fast rumors like that spread.. I cant have anyone hearing this and my rep be ruined...” Akimi sighed. The two turned as they heard the grunt of some poor fuck getting his ass beat.

Hitomi watched the guy crawl on the ground, before he swung his foot back and kicked the guy in the ribs again. Blood splattered on the ground as he coughed, “Hitomi- Please!” he begged. “Please? Now you try and beg? I gave you 8 fucking days to pay me back.” Hitomi spoke, pressing his foot down on the guys neck. “I don’t like giving my money out to broke people, and especially those who don’t even work to repay me back!” Hitomi pushed his foot down further.

Neha and Akimi gulped and turned their heads, “You pay him back yet?” Neha asked, “Nope.. still trying to pay my cousin back for scratching his car.. totally..” Akimi said, “You?” he asked. “I.. im broke.. and might be dead in like a day once he finds out..” Neha sighed. Akimi pat her shoulder.

Hitomi lifted his foot, “You got til tomorrow to give me back what you owe... plus interest, Bitch.”

[Crack!!]
