Golden Years

Daiki Hayashio P.O.V.

I was always the good kid. Done my homework. Heck, I even went from around town mowing lawns and such for any amount of money. Every penny counted. I would always save up to get things I couldn't get from my parents which was a lot. My parents didn't care for me so I always looked out for myself.

I was in school on my first year in high school very first day. It's always the worst day. I just love hearing about what the teachers expected of me. Blah blah blah. Even the good kids hated this part of school, because you're not learning anything new. I sat back and took a look around. Great I'm stuck with the two idols everyone so thrilled about. Mizuki Fujisaki and Asami Ito. I haven't really seen them, but the teacher called their names so I guess that I'm lucky to have their presence. The teacher explained everything he expects from us and then the bell rings.

I get up out the door and some jerk face slams into me and my stuff goes everywhere. What's worse is the one who ran into me did a hit and run, coward.

I'm picking up my stuff when I noticed a girl helping me out. She had light brown hair and grey eyes. Wow she's pretty. Plus, it's rare for a girl to help me out. We finished picking up my things, and she smiles as she hands me my things.

"You're Daiki right? Sorry your stuff went flying. Some people can be pretty rude. Keep your head up." Wow she remembers my name. Who is she?

"Asami, did you get lost?" Some guy asked. So she's Asami Ito. Wow! No wonder why she's so popular.

"No Mizuki, I'm not lost." Asami turns to me, "don't be late, okay."

"O-oh yeah... I'm headed to class now...thanks for helping me."

"No problem, bye! See you later!" She waved.

Wow she's so...perfect. I could see why people would want her. It's not going to happen though, look at me... I'm all the way at the bottom, but no not Asami, she's on top. Everyone looks up to her.

After that, I constantly look for her. She's in my gym class and lunch. However, during lunch, she leaves with three guys. One of them is Mizuki. Ugh... what is he to her? Why are they sticking together?

"Hey Daiki, my favorite person!"

"What the hell do you want Kuh?"

"Oh nothing! Just for you to join..."

"How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to join your Girl Scouts squad. So bug off."

I started to walk away. "I know how you can get Asami!"

"Oh really, do you now?" I asked as I stopped that's when I remember who I was talking to. "What's in it for you?"

"Well besides you joining, get Asami far away from Mizuki."

"They're friends so stop."

"Friends? Do friends tell each other's problems? Do they run crying to the other when something wrong happens? Do friends eat together and share secrets?"

"Oh damn you're right, they're not friends. They're best friends." I said getting annoyed.

"Well regardless, no one is supposed to be close to Mizuki! No one but me!"

"That's the difference between you and me. I actually like her because of her. Not because she's a celebrity."

"Oh whatever! Do you want to or not? Because if you do, I'll give you info on how to get closer to Asami!" I thought about it and she must have noticed. "You'll also get money for your hard work. Trust me, it's worth it."

"Alright fine, I'm in."

"Good. Here's the info that you need." She says as she hands me a folder. I opened it up, and it tells me how to get to the hideout. A pass to get in. What time the next meeting is at.
