Love @ seventeen highschool days

*Shuichi* : Brighter days

It was weird having a twin. Not only did I get a twin but I got sister and brother. Kaede and Rantaro. Since I was born a few minutes after Maki they called me the youngest one of the four of us. They would tease me, and force me to do their homework. They'd also spoiled me and hung out with me a lot. Me and Kaede would read comics and Rantaro got me on the basketball team. Maki also taught me self defense tricks and how to use weapons. It was odd. But it felt nice having three people around who loved me. They'd wake me up in the morning and make me sleep early at night.

I got used to mom slower. Sure we would have dinner and talk but I still couldn't believe that I was kidnapped. Or that she was a store owner and actress. My uncle never let me watch much tv. It should've been obvious at the time. It was obvious she cared. She bought me new clothes and made sure I was always comfortable. Her and Maki were excellent cooks. My mom Kirumi was the best mom in the galaxy. Maki and I quickly began fighting like brother and sister.

It was easy to fit in at school. I quickly got admirers and made friends with the whole basketball team. Kokichi was weird but it was nice to watch him draw. Sometimes he went off alone and sang. It might seem weird but I followed him. I guess that's around the time I began observing people.

Like how I observed Kaede. She would constantly help her friends. She would carry their book bags to class and I would have to help her out. Rantaro was kind of conceited but he was kind and talented. I could see why the whole school would ship them. However, I kind of liked her.

It was nice to be around her. She was cute and smart. She brightened my day. Even when she and the others teased me she was there.
