Part 1

Yuu's POV

SHIT shit shit shit shit, is that Ro? Was he making all that commotion in the hallway?

He looks different now, his hair is longer than when we were kids and he's wearing it in a half up ponytail??? Cute.

His eyes sweep across the classroom ignoring everyone and stopping at me, even if only for a few seconds, his eyes stop on ME. And my fucking heart feels like it's going to hop out of my chest and run away.

After what seemed like forever of holding my breath I chuckle a bit, there is no way in hell he recognizes me. I don't even recognize myself when comparing my current appearance with my childhood pictures.

Butttttt just to be safe I pull the hair tie out of whatever semblance of a bun I had managed to create on the top of my head and let it fall creating a little curtain I could safely watch him from. He looks... good, happy even, and I'm so relieved that a little breath I didn't know I was holding slowly releases from my lungs.

After his eyes leave me they sweep towards the back of the classroom and land on Takemitchi. And I hear his voice for the first time in ages "Lets go play Takemitchy." I couldn't help the small "pfft" that escaped my lips, that isn't even how you say his name what the hell. Ro's eyes flick back to me just for a second too long, and then back to Takemitchi.

Takemitchi gets up to leave with them stammering out protests, and the whole class follows after excited by the interruption. Fuck it, why not use this as a chance to leave for the day. I grab my stuff and follow them out about a minute after the rest, I hate crowds.

As I make my way down the hall a sigh escapes my lips as I realize they are in fact crowding my way out. I slip through the students and finally break free. Tackemitchi and Ro are talking along with a tall dude with a tattooed temple, I didn't notice him before. "Tch" at this point I can't help myself, the crowds used up the last of my patience for the day. "Oi, take this shit outside, this is a school you know."

The crowds whispers turn their attention on me I "Tch" one last time for good measure and continue walking. Whatever, not like I'm really interested in making good impressions on my relatively new classmates. I've always been a loner and it's something I'm comfortable with.

At this point Ro is burning holes in the side of my head as I walk by. I can't quite read the look in his eyes. But it doesn't really matter anymore, I'm free, I swing the school doors open and suck in the fresh air releasing in a huff. I hear some more commotion with a girl's voice included but I'm not really worried. Not like Ro would ever hit her or let his tall bud hit her either.

I start on my trek home, though I catch myself wandering in the wrong direction a few times, my brain is swimming and it's hard to focus on the vaguely familiar street signs. It took a lot out of me seeing him again after so many years, too many memories to sift through.

I first met Manjiro Sano when we were babies. I don't remember much about him other than I looked up to him when I was a kid, him and his big bro Shinichiro. Shin was the one who got me hooked on fighting and fiddling with tools even though he absolutely sucked at fighting. I'm not even sure why but I felt like if he had my back I'd always be okay. Shin knew I was a girl but Ro was completely oblivious. I didn't talk like one, act like one, or look like one, and I never bothered to correct him since my name is technically a boys name.

I wasn't around when big bro passed, I moved to the US with my dad for his work before it happened. He insisted that I move with him even though he's barely around to parent me, so it's not like it mattered if I didn't live with him.

I just got back a few months ago, enrolled in school, and found a gang I wanted to join. Okay, look, I know that sounds bad, but I need an outlet for my aggression if I'm going to survive my last year of high school.  Although I do have to bind my chest, wear a mask, and put my hair up, pretending to be a boy if I ever wanted to get a serious fight out of anyone.
