『 July 6th 2005 』

  My brother is very strange.
  Don't get me wrong, I love him and all... but something seems to be going on with him.
  He came home two days ago and started crying once he saw me... AND THEN HE HUGGED ME???  I may not know him all that well but I knew that was way out of his character.
  I guess he's finally maturing...
  I would ask him if he's doing okay but he's a teenage boy... and unfortunately teenage boys typically don't tell their older sisters everything.
  I'm 15 years old and Takemichi is 14.  My mom adopted me when I was 5 and Takemichi was 4.  I love my life with this family.  It's just me, mom, and Takemichi (a/n: takemichis dad was never in the manga i don't think).
  I'm top of my class in school.  I don't really have many friends, just people I rarely talk to in class.  No boys have crushes on me and I'm pretty much on my own at school be honest.  It gets a little lonely but i'm used to it.
  I hummed my favorite song to myself as I walked home with the moon shining bright.  I usually come home by the time it gets dark since I enjoy reading at the park after school. 
  I was almost home until I saw someone already in front of the door... Takemichi....
  "Takemichi?" I called out.  He looked over at me.  Bruises and cuts filled his face and his arms.  As I suspected.
  "Another fight?" I said, "Jeez what am I gonna do with you?" I asked as I unlocked the door.
  "You sound like Hina when you say that." Takemichi said and gave me such a loser smile.
  "Hina?"
  "My girlfriend."
  My head whipped around to look at him.  A look of surprise took over my face.
  "Since when did you have a girlfriend??" I gasped.
  "I never told you?"
  "No!"
  "Well now you know."
  I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the first aid kit.  I treated his wounds like the way I did when we were younger and would he would get hurt when we played.  The good times.
  "Thanks y/n!!" Takemichi said as he walked to his room.
  I sighed as I watched him leave.  I put the first aid kit away and sat down on my bed to put a movie on.
  What am I going to do with him? I thought.

••••

  School was boring again today.
  Don't get me wrong, I do great in school... but just because I get good scores that doesn't mean I enjoy going to school.
  I was about to leave the school building until I felt something being ripped out of my hands.  I looked back and saw some jerk with me book.
  "Hey!" I said, pretty annoyed, "Give that back!"
  "Give me the answers to the homework and then I'll give you back your stupid book." the guy said, his friend laughing as everyone watched.
  "No." I snapped, getting more annoyed by the minute, "Give me back my book you moron!"
  I reach for the book but he just holds it up higher to where I cant reach.
  Fucking asshole.
  His friend came closer to me and shoved me to the floor while the other guy ripped my book.
  Fucking bitches.
  I wasn't even done reading it.
  The crowd got silent as I saw two guys walk up behind them.  My heart skipped a beat as well, but in fear.
  One guy was tall and had blonde hair that he wore in a braid.  The other guy was shorter than him and wore his blonde hair half up and half down.  Mikey and Draken I believe are their names.  I don't know much about them but all I know is that the short one sleeps in all of our classes and they're both in a gang.  Running one or just part of one?  I can't remember...
  "Hey!" Mikey spoke.  Chills ran down my spine.
  Are they the reason why this is happening?
  "What are you doing to that girl?  Did she ever do anything to you?" He asked.
  Guess that answers my question.
  "Oh M-mikey!" the guy stammered, "I was just-"
  "We don't care." Draken interrupts, "This isn't the way you treat women."
  "Want to know what happens when you lay your hands on a girl?" Mikey asked, darkness in his voice.
  "Nuh uh." the two guys replied, shaking their heads.
  "Then get lost."
  The two guys walked off, throwing my book in the trash while they were at it.
  Great.
  Mikey looked over at me and smiled.  I didn't know how to react.  He reached his hand out to me.
  "Sorry about that!" he said, smiling with his teeth this time.  I took his hand as I got up.
  "Thanks." I said as I looked to the floor, too shy to look at him.
  I started to walk away.  I didn't know what to do.  I mean, Mikey and Draken are good looking, but good looking guys don't talk to me.
  "Y/n is the name, right?" Mikey asked out of nowhere.  I turned around and saw Mikey with his hands in his pockets, Draken standing next to him.
  "...Yeah." I replied, genuinely confused, "How did you know?"
  "You're the top of our class."
  My cheeks tinted pink.  For one, guys don't usually talk to me.  Two, guys don't usually know my name like that.
  I smiled and nodded as I turned to keep walking.  I didn't know what else to say.
  I walked all the way back home since I now didn't have a book to read.  What a buzzkill...
 
First chapter done! I hope you guys enjoyed and I hope you stick around for the rest of the story <3
