Shidora and his life with a harem

CHAPTER 2: Acedemic Meltdown

          You're probably wondering, Why does the school not recognize me from a different school? The reason I say this is because if you didn't read chapter 0, you would know I was in run down part of town. That means I was home schooled by my, and the answer may sound crazy, but my alcoholic, stubborn, prick of a father. He always had a bit of a hot head. Every time, and I even remember this, he would hit my back with a ruler even if I got one problem wrong. That hurt, a lot. The marks on my back left so many rashes and I showed Saito when I was 15.
      My school, Hoshikawa Academy, also known as Star River academy, is way different than getting slapped in the back with a damn wooden ruler.
      The buss ride there was loud but the usual banter about what happened on the weekend or big parties everyone went to. This struck me a little though, "Did you hear about Saito Ryoko?" A guy from the back said. "I heard that she tried..." I'm glad I couldn't hear the end of that sentence because the buss stopped to my school. Look, I know Saito is gone from our school, but I still respect her name. No one does anymore though. She turned into hero to zero really quickly after she graduated. I look back at him, thinking that it would do anything, not even a glance they saw me. When I say in respected, I am respected. The bus stopped and I walked out clinging onto myself, my gut was boiling or growling. I head straight for the bathrooms, not even taking off my back pack and my shoes, just booked it towards the bathroom.
I got there and you know what happened, I'll spare you the details, but the person that was there was Haruto Yamazaki. When I first was transferred to this school, I was only 11. So transferring was bad enough, but having no friends on the first day sucked even more. I sat alone all the time and one day, at 4th period, he came up to me and introduced himself. Even though being the same grade, he was a tall and athletic build. His brown hair was always in a mess like a raccoon went for nothing except his hair. Brown eyes and tan skin like mine. He always wore his blueish hoodie with a zipper that looked so tight that it looked like it would choke him.
"Yo bro, you doing okay? You're puking up a storm and I know you have dietary issues but Jesus you sound sick." He asked, patting me on the back gently. Somehow, he always found me, even in situations where I don't even see him in. He was my back up, my brother not related by blood but bond.
"Class starts in 15, you sure you're going to do alright?" He looked at me, worry on his face, like always. I glanced back at him, about to hurl abs nodded.
"I'll call home but Dad wanted me to go through atleast 1 hour of school, strict bitch if you ask me." I say, kind of jokingly, but at the same time I'm pushing through. I'm a guy who can't back down that much, Saito taught me that.
   I pull myself together, pat Haruto on the back, and then lean against the wall. I think about what I might have eaten for me to puke up a sterile storm, but then it hit me. I got so mad, so pissed at the rumors about Saito that my gut couldn't react right and send me a one way trip to hurl town.
           "Your birthday is going to be lit though, who you inviting?" Haruto asked, trying to cheer up the mood. "You having it at your house or somewhere fun? Remember when we went to karaoke with Ren and Takumi for your 17th birthday? That was lit!" He exaggerated, sounding like he was running out of breath.
         "Chill dude, still got to get through today, and also Ren was a buzz kill. It also didn't help that Takumi had so much damn sugar in that soda. Honestly though, you bring up a good point."
     I shake my head and then snap back into reality. I put my head in water and then say, "I'll think about getting some friends over, maybe you could bring beer to celebrate." I say after cleaning my face off.
          "Piece Haru" I wave.
          "Piece Shido" Haruto waves back

       I got to class and then remembered, Exam day for a career in the future. I don't even want to do this but gotta do it so my parents don't ride my ass about, "Your a bum around the house" or "Get a job and pay for your own groceries."  I get the test over with as quickly as possible because I don't want to stay in there as long as I haft to. I then turn it in after a 15 minutes of very odd questions.
    Something was off the whole school day, like someone was watching me, very, very closely. The whole time I was thinking about was why is there rumors about Saito? She already graduated, give her a damn break people.
     "Shido, you doing okay?" My friend, Natsumi Hayashi, asked while her exam. She was one of those study girls. Tall, graceful, smart and independent but helps others if need be. Her hair was jet black with a match of black and brownish eyes, sharp as ever. Even though our teacher doesn't like talking in our class, during exams, she doesn't mind. I nodded back at Natsumi but she gave me the 'Stop lying dipshit.'
After the exam, she caught me before I could book it out of the room. She held me to my seat, with all the force she could do. Natsumi wasn't the strongest but when she's mad, she'll let you know.
"What the hell is wrong with you today, you look like shit." She whispered to me, worried.
"I'm fine. Just had a gut ache during 1st hour, no bother-" She then dragged me to her locker and slammed me against it. Her face looked like a balloon about to pop at anytime.
"You think I'm an idiot? I can read it all over your face." She confronted me.
I was a little scared at that point, but I said back, "Okay fine, it's about Saito." I confessed. Honestly, I'm worried about her, she's been my friend since I moved here. Natsumi let go, she didn't like my answer. She then patted my shoulder and said,
"I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing about it." She then hugged me and ran off to her next class. Scary to think that a high schooler so sophisticated, so academically praised, would ever be friends with a nobody.

After a day of academics, I get home and text Saito, to see if she wanted to come over for my birthday. Just me and her though. No best friends, no parents, just me and her. Don't get me wrong, I love my parent's who adopted me but they get a little too clingy. One time my mom, Shino Hagumatsu, once snuggled me for an hour and finally let me go when she was hungry. My dad, Iguro Hagumatsu, is a little bit more in the less physical touch though.
I finally got the courage to text Saito and ask if she wanted to hang out for my 18th birthday. She said and quote, "Hell yeah." I then called mom and dad to see if it was okay, in short, yes.
It was getting late by then so I ate my supper, took a brisk shower and head off to bed. Nerves backed up my a pounding headache didn't help though. Even though it was my birthday on a weekend tomorrow, I was nervous to tell Saito the rumors I heard. Eventually though, I closed my eyes and thought about her, and hope she never game a rats ass about anything. About how morning bothered her. I then fall into a deep slumber.

(I guess we found out how this day went, hm. Sorry how the chapters are long and a little boring but the story is still developing, so I hope you stay for a while. The next one should be out 1 week from now, maybe 2. Just keep your notifications on for more in Shidora and his harem)
