The Story of You and Me - Book 1

Lesson1: Transfer Student (prt1)

"Look, is that the prince?" "The prince?" "Yes, he's the most popular student in this school" "I heard he's the current vice president of the student council" "Oh yeah he's a second-year student and his name is Keisuke Nakahara" – said the students as Keisuke passes by, a bespectacled ginger-haired young male with a small physique and has piercing blue eyes. Despite his stature, he is well known for his academic prowess and the youngest son of the wealthiest family in the country which gains him the name 'the genius little prince' of their school.

The school is prestigious and most of the students studying there are from the upper class but there are some commoners that were given a scholarship.

"Urgh here we go again, it's always been like this since I enter high school. I'm flattered that I'm recognized but I can't avoid feeling awkward and conscious whenever everybody talks about me not to mention they are all staring at me. I prefer to be under the radar than this" – Keisuke whispered as he enter the school premises.

"Kei-kun! Kei-kun!" – girl calling his name from afar.

"Saki?"

"Good morning" – the panting girl with a messy bun on her left side along with a long stray piece of hair near her shoulder greeted him.

"Good morning, what happen to you?"

"Well I saw you back at the bus station and I was calling for you but I guess you didn't hear me and you walk so fast so I have to chase after you" – she said as she gasps for air.

"Here" – Keisuke offered his handkerchief to her to wipe the sweat.

"Thank you" – that reminds her of a memory when they were little kids, Keisuke also handed over his handkerchief to her back then. 

Ever since Keisuke helped Saki from her bullies back when they were in 3rd grade, she started liking him, she always has a crush on him but whenever she tried to express it to him he just shrugs it off.

The two childhood friends walk in the hallway when Keisuke bumps into someone throwing him down to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Are you alright Kei-kun?" – Saki.

"I'm sorry" – the student said.

"Watch where you're going!" – Keisuke snarled as he fix his glasses and looks up, he was surprised to see a tall young male with wavy brown hair and deep dark brown eyes. He is mesmerized by how handsome he is, he felt a thump inside him as their eyes locked.

"Are you alright?" – he reaches his hands to Keisuke "I'm sorry I didn't notice you right away" – he added.

"What is that suppose to mean?!" – Keisuke stands up on his own refusing the other's help. Based on what the male student said he seems to say that because he's small he didn't see him.

"N-nothing" – the male said "Do you want me to bring you to the infirmary?"

"No you don't have to" – Keisuke said angrily "Let's go Saki" – he said and walks away.

"Excuse us" – Saki bows down to the tall male and quickly catches up to Keisuke who is now walking ahead of her.

"Is that a girl wearing boys clothes?" - whispered the tall brunette in reference to the ginger's androgynous appearance.

"Hey, are you alright?" – she asks.

"Yes I am" – he answered "We need to go to our class now"

The two of them proceed to their classroom.

"Don't you think it means something?" – Saki asked.

"What?"
