Ao no Sumika [Initial D - Keisuke Takahashi | Novella}

Seishun: 2

High school was new territory for Keisuke and one that he was excited about. Being a first year means he can also get his motorcycle license. Ever since he saw those big bikes and got to ride one of them, he's been wanting to drive one. At his sixteenth birthday his parents even got him a motorcycle but he hasn't been able to use it until he got his license, which was the first thing he made sure to prepare to get after his birthday. Now that he was officially in high school, he can freely drive his motorcycle to school, despite it not allowed by the school.

But who cares?

His parents have reprimanded him when they knew he's been taking his bike to school, even his brother told him repeatedly that it wasn't allowed but Keisuke didn't listen. He was in that stage in his life where he was "too cool" for anything. So, he kept on it, besides he wasn't the only one who was doing it. There were students who were in his year and older who were bringing their bikes to school to and were parking at a space at the back of campus where no one would find it or even consider checking.

Which was where he was at the moment. Parking his motorcycle at the back of the school at a blind spot of some building.

"Keisuke, is that you?" A familiar feminine voice caught his attention.

Since meeting Sasaki Motoko, Keisuke started seeing more of her as his brother began an unexpected friendship with the girl. Maybe it was because they were both model students with good grades, or maybe it was because they were often appointed to be class representatives (either one was the class representative and the other was the assistant), or because they realized they have many similar hobbies which was cars. If it were the latter, then it could be supported in the fact that Motoko's parents, rather her family, owned the famous Sasaki Technologies who have been supplying engines and car parts to those in the automobile industry.

It came as a shock to the brothers to know that Motoko didn't just share a similar name to the Sasaki brand, but was part of the family who runs it. It explains their wealth, Keisuke thought then. They found out about it when Motoko invited them to a motor sport event since her parents got extra tickets and told her and Soshiro that they can bring a few friends. They had VIP seats at the time and then were greeted with the large Sasaki Tech logo on their VIP pass.

Maybe it was also there when Ryosuke developed a love for cars. Keisuke couldn't say, his brother was the type of person who keeps to himself. Or maybe he just doesn't think much of others.

But back to the spot behind the building, Keisuke found himself frozen as he came face to face with the third-year. Motoko has grown taller since their middle school days, and her face grew much more mature. Her hair was shorter than before though since it now just reached her shoulders – she claimed it was easier to manage when working in the shop with her father (he's a Mechanical Engineer with a Masters and everything). Her eyes were still the bright grayish-blue with long lashes, lips still supple looking – he wondered how many guys have had the privilege to feel them, and he wondered if his aniki was one of those guys too. He frowned at the thought of it. He knew it would make him sound like a creep but he did like how the summer school uniform emphasized her body's maturity. No longer was she 'flat-chested Motoko' – a teasing name he called her when he got fed up by her teasing when they were still in middle school. Most of all he liked the height of the skirts here in high school.

"Sup," Keisuke greeted her.

"You do know that that's not allowed here in school, right?" Motoko said.

"You gonna report me or something?" She was part of the student council.

A frown etched on her lips. "If I was then I would have done so the moment Ryosuke mentioned that you were driving that thing to school the first time."
