A little spark of friendship
Shu stopped by his locker to take out his Maths books. Today, they had a test and Shu had already studied the things he needed. He slowly made his way to the class ignoring every eye contact. It's the second day of this place but still the students didn't even talk to him. He sat down just as the teacher came and handed them their tests. Everyone started to work in silence, no one spoke a word.
The silence was only there until they heard their teacher call. "Kazuki are you cheating?" She asked walking to the blonde and taking out two answer papers. Everyone raised their heads to look at the blonde boy who was now red as a tomato.
"Who helped you with this?" The teacher asked with a stern voice.
A smirk appeared on his lips as a cruel plan instantly formed inside his mind."Shu Kurenai helped me"
Shu's eyes widen in pure surprise and astonishment. Not ever in his life he even thought to cheat, much less to help anyone else to help with something like that. "What?" He yelled out.
The teacher looked between them. "You two go to the principal's office."
Shu got up. "But mad-"
His teacher cut him off in the mid sentence. "No excuses. Go. Now "
Shu sighed. Cheating, it's like a foreign word to him. He never cheated, he was always honest in tests. He didn't need to cheat in anything, because he was a hard worker and he always had good grades. Kazuki got up as he walked out of the class. Shu hung his head low making his white bangs cover the most of his face. His eyes were downcast as he got out from the classroom. Once they were outside from the class and out of sight from the rest of the class Kazuki smirked.
"Well,well, Kurenai, how is my plan? You like it? "
Shu looked at him, eyes raging with pure anger. He was trembling with all the emotions swirling inside his mind. Shu grabbed the collars of the taler male as he slammed him against the wall. "Why did you do that? "
Kazuki smiled. "Aww are you angry?" He said pushing him away. "I did it because I can"
Shu didn't wait a minute as he threw a punch at the blonde boy. But Kazuki caught Shu's hand and twisted it behind his back slamming him against the wall. Shu yelped in pain.
"You can't beat me. I'm better than you in every way" Kazuki said.
Shu bit his bottom lip as he gritted his teeth. He wasn't sure whether it was because of the pain or anger.
"Let's go" Kazuki said. "Remember? to the principal's office" he said releasing Shu's hand.
Shu sighed as he followed the blonde boy. He thought of his friends in Beigoma. And his parents. His parents what would they think if they heard this. They would believe him. But he was scared. He came to the school yesterday. And today he was caught to cheating which he never even thought about doing. All along the walk his eyes kept fixed to the floor. His bangs covered his eyes so no one can see the tears welling in his eyes. He blinked back tears. "No Shu don't cry you didn't do anything wrong" he talked to himself.
Kazuki knocked twice as he entered the room. He seem too relieved at this position. "Of course" Shu thought. "He really cheated not like Shu"
Both of them went inside. Their teacher was already there. Shu kept his eyes fixed to the floor. But he can feel their eyes on him. He looked at the principal.
"I'm ashamed of you two. Especially you Mr. Kurenai. You have good records from your last school and your principal talked highly of you. But I can't believe you're a cheater"
Shu bit his lower lip harshly to stop tears from falling. He knew telling excuses wouldn't help. Kazuki had a good plan. All he needed now is a miracle.
"And you Kazuki this is the third time you caught on cheating"
Kazuki didn't even cared. He just kept smirking and enjoying the shorter boy's suffering.
At that moment someone knocked he door. "Come in" The principal said. Shu looked at the door and a Lui entered.
"Great" Shu thought. Now he wanted to kill himself. Lui looked sternly at Shu and then at Kazuki.
"Yes Mr. Shirasagi what's the problem? " the principal asked.
Lui walked to them. "Shu is innocent" he said.
Shu's eyes widen. He was shocked. He didn't thought Lui would be his saviour from everyone Lui.
The principal looked at Shu and again at Lui. " explain"
"Shu was beside me. And he didn't even raised his head ones and he wrote with his left hand so his hand writing should be shaky and on that answer paper that handwriting is perfectly fine isn't it?"
Both of the adults looked at the question paper and nodded. Then their principal turned to Shu.
"Why didn't you tell us?" He asked. His face held a sympathetic look. His voice was softer than before.
"I never got the chance to explain" Shu whispered quietly as he could.
Then the principal turned to Kazuki. "Now young man you done two wrong things. Cheating and accusing a wrong person. I'm afraid you have to apologize to Mr. Kurenai"
Kazuki glared at the albino. "Never" he muttered.
"What did you say?" The principal asked again.
He narrowed his eyes as he turned to Shu. "I'm sorry" he whispered faintly. Shu nodded accepting his apology.
"Now two of you should go. I'll have a talk with Mr. Kazuki"
Two of them went outside. Shu took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves. Shu looked around to fine Lui. But he had already left. The bell rang signalling it's time for the lunch but he didn't care he ran around the school finding Lui. A last he found him at the stadiums standing with the team Rideout.
Shu stood there for a moment. "It's just a Thank you " Shu muttered to himself as he walked to the group.
Gou smiled at him. "Need some help Shu"
Shu shook his head as he turned to Lui. Lui's face held a blank expression. "Thanks" Shu said. Lui still looked the same expression but Shu can tell he was surprised. "Thanks for saving me" Shu said again as he turned again walking away.
"Don't let that idiot get on you" Shu stopped on his track by the voice of Lui. Shu turned his head and smiled giving him a simple nod as he walk away.
"Okay are my eyes tricking me or did they talk like normal people " Katana said rubbing his eyes.
Gou looked at Lui. "What exactly happened? "
Lui shrugged. "Nothing and don't make a big deal of it we're still enemies"
But Gou wanted to know exactly what happened so he kept questioning until Lui said what happened at their test.
"You mean he accused Shu for nothing" Gou asked looking at Lui.
Lui nodded. "That's horrible " Shinki talked. "Kazuki is really a bad guy"
The day went along Shu get off from the bus. He started to walk along the road. He started to walk near the park. He heard laughter echoing near the bey stadium. That's when he saw beyclub laughing and chasing each other. Wakiya and Honcho seemed to be arguing. And there was a battle going on. He stopped as he turned his gaze toward them. Valt was the first to notice him. His eyes lighted up with happiness.
"Shu!!!!" He yelled top of his lungs causing others to close his ears. But no-one complained this time they all started to run to Shu. Valt was the first to reach him. He tackled him to a hug soon the five boys were in a group hug. They pulled away.
"So how is your new school?" Daigo asked.
Shu's face changed but he forced a smile. "It's good"
"Come on don't lie what really happened?" Wakiya asked looking concerned for a moment.
The group walked to the stadium. Shu explained everything happened today. They stayed in silence until Shu finished his talk and as soon as he finished, Honcho yelled.
"Who the hell is this Kazuki?"
Shu shrugged. "He is a idiot "
"And accusing you for cheating if I found him I'm gonna kill him" Wakiya said.
"But it's a surprise Lui saved you" Daigo said. Shu nodded. "Yeah I thought about that too."
But Valt was silent all the time. "Valt" Honcho asked. "Are you okay buddy?"
Valt took Shu's bandaged hand. "How are you gonna battle like this? Does it hurt?"
Shu smiled at his friend. He felt thankful to have such amazing people caring for him. "I can battle from left hand. And no Valt it doesn't hurt"
But their friends didn't took his words. They were concerned about him. "But Shu still that school is like a hell" Daigo talked.
"Oh come on guys don't get so upset. Let's do something I won't be able to talk to you guys for the next few days" Shu said.
Wakiya raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Shu talked. "We're going on a camp for three days"
"No way you're going with that dumb kids right?" Daigo said.
Shu shook his head. "I have to go. Our teacher said that the activities we do there can affect our grades"
"But be careful" Honcho said.
"You guys sounds like my parents" Shu chuckled.
"Okay let's do something fun." Valt talked. "Cause we can't see Shu for few days. So let's enjoy our day"
They all agreed as they raced to Shu's house.
I'm off. Sayonara
