Just You and Me~(Komahina)

Chapter 1~New Student?

My name is Hajime Hinata. I was never the shy person when I was little, I always loved talking to others. In elementary school I would chat with everyone, no matter if they were mean, talkative, or shy. Eventually being social when I was younger paid off, I gained a bunch of friends in middle school. They would be around me all the time and it made me happy to have all of that attention on myself.

Now...I'm in high school. I've socialized with everyone at this school and have spent my free time getting to know them. There were a couple of new students, but they ended up being major bullies...when I first talked to them, they hated me because I defended myself against them without any fear. After many encounters, they eventually started to respect me and ended up hanging around me. They even decided that I was one of them...I, in no way, even wanted to be friends with them, but being their "friend" actually has some benefits. I hate seeing others get hurt...so I always try to prevent them from bullying anyone. When I see them messing with a student, I usually just walk up to them and give them an excuse to leave the student alone so that student can escape. Unfortunately, that won't stop them from wanting to bully others...which is frustrating. Besides them I have a lot of friends at this school, the students consider me the most popular guy in their class.

Usually everyone loves being around me here...they hang out with me in the halls, crowd around my desk in class, sit with me at lunch, ect...This shows how well known I am in this school and I don't mind it, but...it can be overwhelming at times. I never truly get time to myself...not even at home. There is always someone texting or calling me, wanting to hang out...I always try to make up an excuse or reason to not go, but when I do they just end up coming to my house anyways. They either walk into my house or drag me out of it, which irritates me, but I have problems telling people to leave me alone. Maybe it's because of how I was in elementary school, loving the feeling of having everyone around me, but now...I just want to get away and do my own thing...I don't mind spending time with my best friends Chiaki and Kazuichi, I always enjoy their company and usually never turn down and opportunity to hang out with them.

Even though I enjoy spending time with them, I still have days when I just want to be alone. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so popular, but I know that won't change...unless something unexpected happens...

Hajime's POV:

I left my house, taking my usual route to school. Truthfully I didn't feel like going, but Chiaki mentioned yesterday that there's something major happening in class today. She wouldn't tell me what was gonna happen, but said it would be worth going to school for. I thought about what it could be all last night...knowing Ms. Yukizome, it's probably gonna be some sort of test or partner assignment. I'm hoping it's not the second option...I really don't want to deal with everyone asking me to be their partner...I'll probably grab Chiaki or Souda if that happens, most likely Chiaki. Thinking about that option makes me wan't to turn around and head home...that opportunity was missed once I saw a certain pink haired boy walking up to me with his signature shark-like smile.

"Yo Hajime! What's up dude~!"

I gave him a small smile, "Hey there Souda."

"I wonder what's so important about going to school today? I was honestly thinking about skippin~" he says as he starts to walk next to me, laughing some.

I rolled my eyes, "You shouldn't be skipping school Souda...you've already missed too many days." I laughed, though I honestly wanted to do the same...

"Yea Yea I know quit being my mom!" He says, crossing his arms with a slight pout.

I couldn't help laughing more, seeing his pouty face always cracks me up. He looks over and glares at me, "What's so funny!?"

I wipe my eyes trying to quit laughing, "It's nothing Souda, we're almost at the school." I say as we head towards the front gate.

Once we walk into the school, almost on cue people started walking towards me. I noticed that a couple of them were from my class...one had black crazy hair with white streaks along with pink and blue bangs, while the other had short red hair and freckles.

"Hi Hi Hajime~!" The girl with the black hair says as she skips over to us.

The red haired girl catches up with her, "Hello there Hajime, nice to see you today~"

I look over at them and gave a small smile, "Hey you guys."

"Hello there ladies~!" Souda says with a large smile, "How is Ms. Ibuki and Mahiru doing on this fine day~?"

Mahiru rolls her eyes at him while Ibuki is swaying back and forth like she's not paying attention, "Ibuki is excited for class today~! Something great is gonna happen~" she says with a grin. I guess word gets around fast, maybe Chiaki told the other students too...

"I am too, Ms. Yukizome always has something fun planned for us~" Mahiru says with a kind smile. She's normally abrasive towards men, but she's never been like that towards me.

"Souda and I were just discussing that on our way to school, I'm very curious about what's gonna happen..." I say as I start thinking about the possibilities again.

Mahiru laughs a little, "Well were gonna go ahead and head to class, see you guys there." she says as she walks away.

"Bye Guys~!!" Ibuki says as she runs over to Mahiru.

I watch as they walk away, "We should get going too Souda."

"Alrighty! Lead the way Hajime~!"

I role my eyes and walk into the school, I see Chiaki walking up ahead and quickly catch up to her, "Heya Chiaki, Hows it going?" I say with a smile. I always enjoyed seeing her, we were friends since Elementary school and we always normally walk to class together. Souda is there too most of the time, but it's usually always me and her.

"Hello there Hajime~I'm doing alright, but I'm gonna be a bit late to class...so you and Souda will have to go without me today." She says as she walks away from me. Thats weird...she's never done this before...

While watching her leave I hear Souda running up to me from behind, sounding like he's out of breath, "Hah..Hah..Hajime...when I said lead the way, that...Hah...doesn't mean run ahead and leave me behind..."

I turn around and face him, "Sorry...I was just catching up to Chiaki, but apparently she's not walking with us today..." I say, feeling a bit bummed out.

Souda looks at me a bit surprised, "That's not like her...she's always on time despite her staying up and playing video games.." he says with a laugh.

I laugh a bit, but I'm more concerned about Chiaki...could something be going on with her?...I shake away my thoughts and walk into my classroom, most everyone is already there. They all look over at me with bright smiles and waves as I go over and sit in my seat with Souda sitting behind me. After a while, Ms. Yukizome walks in with Chiaki, they look at each other before Chiaki goes and takes a seat. I thought she was going to sit in front of me like normal, but this time she sat in a desk on the other side of the room, close to the back where hardly anyone was...something is definitely up with her...

I was gonna turn around and ask her what was going on, until the teacher spoke up, "Good morning everyone~! I have some exciting news for you guys!" She says with a bright smile.

Everyone automatically turned their attention to her as she continued to talk, "I am happy to announce that a new student has been transferred into our class~"

I was kinda surprised, I wasn't expecting this kind of news. At least it's not a partner assignment...I looked over at the door and noticed her motioning someone to walk into the classroom. The person slowly walked in with their face glued to the floor, they looked like they were scared and nervous...it was a boy wearing a green jacket with red squares placed around it...he had the hood of the jacket over his head, hiding his face. Once the boy walked over to Ms. Yukizome, she leaned in and whispered something to him. He nodded a little before turning towards the class and hesitantly removing his hoodie. The hoodie revealed fluffy white messy hair, a fair skinned face, and grayish green eyes...I was looking at him shocked. I've never seen this student before...maybe he's a new student? No...she said that he was transferred into our class...I thought I knew everyone at this school, but I've never seen or talked to this boy before...who is he??
