Bulletproof

The First Day

Kazue's POV

Beep, beep, beep, beep. I hear as I awaken from my slumber. I reached over to turn off my alarm and head to sleep. Only to realize that today was when high school starts. I then quickly spring out of bed and head downstairs to the kitchen.

"Oh, good morning, Kazue!" My mom says as she sees me walking to the table. I take a seat and go on my phone to pass time. When breakfast is finally done, I get up and grab a plate.

~Time Skip~ (cuz eating is boring XD)

After breakfast, I went back upstairs to my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went into my room and threw on my uniform. I grabbed my glasses, a hair brush, and hair gel. I put my glasses on and styled my hair. I stared at myself in the mirror, and zoned out. Do I look okay? Is my uniform on right? Does my breath smell? I said to myself coming back to reality. I had a few minutes to spare so I went back on my phone and opened Instagram to see what everyone else was up to. All I saw was pictures of what they were wearing to school. As I was scrolling, I stumbled upon a guy who I've never seen before, but has the same homeroom as me. I guess I should post something as well I say to myself. So I get up and take a picture.

Kaz.Iz.In.The.House: Ready for high school!!!
I posted the picture and was immediately flooded by likes. I checked the time, 06:55. Shit! I swore under my breath. School starts at 07:00, I have exactly 5 minutes to get there. I run downstairs grabbing my bag and dash out the door. "Bye mom, be back before dinner!" I yell before closing the door. I check the time again, 06:58. I started sprinting down the street, and made it to the front doors just in time. I didn't have time to chat with my friends but I guess I'll talk to them at free period. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. The school bell rang and everyone rushed into the building. I ran to my homeroom and took my seat. I pulled out my schedule to see when free period was. Free Period: 13:35. I was the first one inside so I enjoyed the silence as much as I could. About 3 minutes later, more people started walking in. But the silence was still there. Just then, all the girls started screaming. What's their deal? I said rolling my eyes. Once the flock of girls went away I could see a guy in the middle of them all. It's that guy I saw earlier..

... Hidea- "Heyo! The party starter has arrived!" He said, cutting off my thoughts. People stared as he walked into the class, taking a seat in front of me. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. The bell rang again, signaling that class has started.

~Time Skip~ (Cuz school is boring XD)

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, those are the only sounds I can hear in my head. I glanced over at the clock, 13:30, Yes! Only 5 more minutes! I started dozing off in class, but was quickly awoken by the sound of students jumping up and running to the halls. Free Period had started so I got up and ran to the cafeteria to find my friends waiting by a table. Okay pause, the friends I'm talking about are a part of a group that we haven't named yet. In said group involves; Me, Ichiro, Masato, Isao and Isah, Atsushi, and Takashi. These names will be important to my story later. "Hey slowpoke, Over here!" Ichiro says, gesturing I come over there. I walked to their table and sat down. "Why weren't you here earlier?" Masato says, crossing his arms. "Yeah! We missed you!" Isao and Isah say in unison. "Sorry, I was running late," I said, drinking my pop. "Well get here earlier," Atsushi says, giving me the 'if you don't you're dead' look. We spent the rest of free period talking. I checked the time, 14:12, the end of free period was 14:20. "Hey guys, I'm going back to homeroom. I want to enjoy as much silence as I can before the rest of class," I said packing up my things. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. 

I walked into class thinking I was the first one there but to my surprise I found the guy who made an 'entrance' earlier, sitting in my seat.

"Hey, you, blondie!" he said, pointing at me. 

"What do you want?" I said, slowly walking towards him.

"Come here, yeah," he said impatiently. I walked faster towards my seat. When I arrived he stood up. He's a bit taller than I am, so I have to look up to see his face.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, you can," he said, pulling his face closer and closer to mine. By now I could feel his breath on my neck. The tension between us made me blush like crazy.

"Haha, you're cute when you blush, you know that?" he put his hand on my chin forcing me to look up even more, to see his entire face. My face getting progressively more red. "S-stop, we don't even know each other yet," I said, turning away. Hoping that it'll stop what ever he was doing, or planning on doing. "Oh, right. We haven't been properly introduced yet. Allow me," he went into a bow with one hand on his chest and the other in front of him.

"Ahem. I'm Hideaki Kinoshita"

"I-I'm... Kazue"

"Kazue?"

"Kazue... Igarashi"

"Nice to meet you, Kazue-Kun!" he took my hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too, Hideaki," I said looking away. 

"Now, where were we?" he smirked and grabbed my chin once more. Pulling his lips closer to mine. Just as we were about to kiss the rest of the class walks in to finish the last part of class. "We'll do it tomorrow for sure, no interuptions," he winked and walked out the door as the final bell rang. Thank God! I sighed, walking outside to meet up with my group. We talked as we all walked home together, one by one leaving to go inside the comfort of their homes. I was the last one to get home. I walked in and took my shoes off. "Hey, mom," I said, taking a seat in the kitchen. "Kazue, you're just in time for dinner!" she exclaimed, handing me a plate. "So, how was school?" she asked. I immediately blushed at the thought of Hideaki. "Oh... It was... good" I quickly looked back down at my food, finishing it. "Thanks for the food, mom," I yelled walking up the stairs to my room. I removed my uniform, changed into my pajamas, and set my alarm. I lay in bed with repeating images of what happened with Hideaki. I closed my eyes, dreaming of what would've happened if the class hadn't came in at that time. I was finally able to fall asleep, concluding this eventful day.
