The Curse of the Iwasakis

Chapter 1

Aiko's POV (15)

Mmmm!!! It's great to be in school again!!!!!! I thought as I walked around my new middle school. It was free period and I was wandering around, trying to see if I could recognize anyone. I hadn't had any luck as of yet. Looking around, I noticed a boy with black hair and decided to ask him if he knew someone named Tohru.

"Hi! Sorry to disturb you, but I was wondering if you knew where Honda Tohru would be at this time?" The boy gave me an irritated look and abruptly shoved me to the ground. I got up with a sigh and dusted myself off.

"I take it that's a no. I'll be on my way then." I began to walk away only to be rudely knocked to the ground again by another boy, this time with brown hair.

"Hey!" I protested, getting up again.

"That wasn't nice." The boy who shoved me glared.

"You were the one who bumped into me." I shook my head.

"No I wasn't. You shoved me, liar." His glare hardened and I started to back away.

"Who are you callin' a liar, freak." When he called me that I stopped backing away and started glaring, my temper getting the best of me.

"You, dumb-a." His ears turned red as he clenched his fists in anger.

"I'll get you for that!" Before I knew it, I was running away from a large group of boys, most of which wanted to kill me.

"Excuse me! Pardon me! Coming through!" I shouted, slowly losing the boys in the crowd. Just as I started to slow down, thinking I had lost them, I got shoved into the wall by the boy I had called a dumb-a.

"Where do you think you're going?" He growled in my face, his fingers circling my neck. I glared and vainly began trying to get him to let go, or at least loosen his grip, as I struggled to breathe. D-dang it... I-I can't... I can't get him off... W

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" A voice called through the crowd that had gathered. The boy turned around, looking frightened, as the crowd separated to reveal a girl with brown hair who was panicking, a black haired girl with her hair in a braid, and a blonde haired girl with a long skirt who looked pissed. Grabbing a lead pipe from seemingly nowhere, the blonde girl stormed up to the boy, who had finally let go of my neck and was currently cowering in fear.

"A-Arisa... h-how are you..." He stuttered

"What have I told you about trying to kill people?" The girl, now dubbed Arisa, yelled, smacking the floor next to the boy with her lead pipe. The black haired girl walked up behind her.

"Yes... You're lucky I don't ****** you with electric shocks." I rubbed my neck as I watched the boy run off with the black haired girl chasing him.

"Hey, are you okay?" I glanced up and nodded, taking the hand offered to me by the brown haired girl.

"Y-yeah. Probably gonna have a sore throat for a while though." I said with a small smile. She grinned.

"That's good." I turned to the black haired girl and... I think her name was Arisa? and bowed.

"Thank you for helping me out just now." The black haired girl nodded while Arisa just scoffed.

"Ah, he had it comin' to him anyway. What I'm wondering is how you pissed him off so bad. Even I've never done that!" She said with a bright smile, patting me on the shoulder. The black haired girl nodded.

"Yes, do tell." I grinned sheepishly.

"Well.... I was looking for an old friend of mine when he shoved me to the ground. I told him that wasn't nice and he said that I had bumped into him, and that he hadn't done anything. I called him a liar, and he asked me who I was calling a liar, calling me a freak in the process. I lost my temper and retorted, "You, dumb-a." Which resulted in me being chased through the school by him and his buddies, until he caught up to me and slammed me into a wall. You already know the rest..." They looked at me shocked, until Arisa just burst out laughing and slapped my shoulder again.
