Chapter 1.

"Ouch! Well that hurt." I said sitting on the floor of the male restroom as blood trickled down my nose.

"You bastard, you got some nerves speaking to us that way." Riku said before kicking me again.

"He's such a bastard, why do you spend time with him Hiro?" Gojo asked my supposed best friend.

"Well.... you know. His little sister is super cute and he's a real friend in need." He whispered into his ear before grinning widely.

"I thought we were friends?" I asked.

"Friends? Don't make me laugh. You're just some lame kid with no friends, a cute sister and some money." Hiro said.

*He didn't even think of me as a friend, I've been a fool. Thank God I didn't let Kaede meet him.*

"Hey, Izumi listen. Am gonna get your little sister, whether you like it or not." He said smiling.

"Go to hell!" I cursed as Riku landed a forceful kick on my abdomen making me cough up blood.

"Izumi you bastard." Riku said dragging my hair before throwing punches at me.

"Hey now, come on Riku. He's my best friend, and he will be my future brother in law." He said with a smirk as Riku let go of my head and spat on me.

"You should be grateful to Hirota, he just saved your ass." Riku said walking out.

"Hey hey Izumi, what you gonna do now?" Hirota asked smirking as my vision turned blurry. "Hey.... Izumi, Hey..."

"Hey, Izumi. You should read the next line, it's your turn." Our English teacher said looking at me sternly.

"Oh, am sorry sir." I apologized before bowing.

"Was he asleep?" Someone at my back asked before I heard giggles.

"Whoa, that's too crazy, why should he be sleeping during Mr. Shiros' class?"

*Tchh* I thought before reading out my part.

"Hey, let's go for karaoke."

"Yeah, am up for it."

It was already school over and I packed my stuffs ready to leave the class.

I was already in the third term of my first year in highschool and had left middle school behind, although most bad memories still remained.

"Ouch, hey watch where you are going." I heard someone say as I left the class.

"Oh, am sorry." I said without looking up at her before walking out.

"Mom, am back." I said before walking up to my room.

"Honey, welcome back." She said from the kitchen.

"Hmm, I smell something delicious and it's coming from the kitchen." Kaede, my little sister said before walking into the house.

"Welcome back, Kaede." Mom said.

I threw my bag on the bed and loosened my tie before sitting on my bed. I turned on the television and set the game.

"Time for some alone time." I said before starting a game.

"Heyy, big brother. I really have no patience now, come down let's eat." Kaede shouted.

"Okay, I'll be down in 3 minutes time." I said still playing.

"3 minutes! I just said I couldn't wait." She said before barging into my room.

"Hey! You should knock before entering a boys room!" I shouted.

"Hey! Quit the damn game and come let's go eat." She said dragging the console with me.

"Hey, quit that, this is an online match." I said dragging it with her. We kept on dragging it till she let go and went straight for the switch before turning it off.

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed before kneeling on the floor with the console still on my hand.

"You got what you deserved, now come let's go eat." She said.

"You.....you..... Argh! Damn it." I cursed before throwing the console on my bed. Immediately I got up, she fled.

"How was school today, Izumi?" Dad asked. It was already evening and we were having dinner.

"Oh, school was normal, I guess." I said not looking up at him.

"Oh...you sure?"

"Yeah, why should you even be asking that." I said laughing.

"I heard fathers ought to do stuffs like that." He said as I sighed.

"Yeah right." I said still eating.

I've never really cared about anyone except my parents and my sister after what I went through in middle school. School wasn't fun, the only time I loved school was whenever school was over or during break when i have time to play games on my phone, every other time seemed like a bother and a bore. That doesn't mean am not smart, I just don't feel like staying with other people.

"Before I forget, A friend from your middle school dropped by,she was really cute I couldn't believe you were friends with someone like her." Mom said as I choked on my food.

"What's wtong? Here." She said handing me a glass of water.

"Thanks." I said gulping down the water.

*Who the hell dropped by my place, don't they have any better thing to do?* I thought eating hastily.
