A/N: Chapter 1! Sorry for the long wait, and sorry if it's short. I needed to travel to manila TWICE last week...tiring really and unexpected. Well, enjoy! And remember comments are loved and highly appreciated! ♥
As I looked around my room for the last time this year, I started to feel this nervousness build up inside me, probably because it's just so sudden and because the people i'll beliving with are rich un-average people and don't really give a care for average human beings.
"Yuri!", I cringed when I heard my female oriented name being called and immediately exited my room, carrying my luggage. Once I reached the kitchen where my sister was...
"Yuri, this is for your own good, you know that right?". Liar, it's all for your personal gain...
"I know and I knew I wasn't really loved in this so called "family" of mine, so I guess I should start getting used to not being around you, not like i'm not already". Before my sister said anything else against what I just said, I left the house and entered the taxi that was waiting for me and once I got in, I started to try and forget that I even had a sister...
As I reached the train station I bought my ticket and hurridly got my seat. The train was pretty empty so I thought that since it's like a 3 hour train ride I'd take a nap...

"Loved?...Me? Mom you never loved me! Nor cared!", Chinen shouted. The 9 year old boy ran straight down the street as he attempted to run away.
"Did they ever love me? Do they even understand me?", as the young boy stopped at a park bench, not quite far from his house, he sat down and tried to think positively about everything...
"Yuri! Yuri where are you!", the moment he heard that he immediately knew it was his sister, the only person he trusted at the moment.
"Yuri!", she ran toward the sobbing boy and hugged him tight, "Don't worry, Yuri, i'll always be here for you...". She said always...what happened to that?
~
I jerked awake when I felt a stabbing in my heart, I even found tears rolling down my very cheeks. I wondered why...I never really cried except for the time I was 9 years old. That was the last time I remembered crying...
A few more minutes passed and I already found myself walking toward the Matsuyama residence. Seeing a limo and other expensive cars parked infront of the house was not so surprising to my eyes.
I knocked and let myself in, being immediately met by a man and a woman who pretty much looked like they are working here as maids/butlers...Again, too typical that I wasn't surprised. What surprised me was to see some 20 year old unpacking in the bedroom I just entered which I actually thought was my bedroom.
"Um, excuse me, are you--"
"Morimoto Ryutaro? Yes. And you are?", he asked me coldly, not even taking a glance at me.
"Chinen Yuri", I said plainly. He didn't say anything after telling that except that my room was across this room, on the other side of the hallway, a very huge hallway I might add, but I noticed that Morimoto-kun seemed already used to this type of environment...I guess he's a richie?
I entered my room and took a look around. I didn't have much stuff but this room can hold like, 4-8 people and to think I only had 3 bags with me.
I unpacked, and thought of taking a bath. I did not enter the bathroom yet so I was wondering if the bathroom is as big as the walk-in closet. And it is....The bath tub looked like it was made of expensive marble and the sink doesn't look anything like a normal one, thats all I can pretty much say about the sink. The toilet, no comment. Everything was just so shiny.
After taking a bath I wondered if I was going to be going to school..I wanted to call my sister but I forgot that I was mad at her.
"Chinen-sama! Morimoto-sama!", a womans voice called. I went out of the room, so did Morimoto-kun, and we were immediately met by a maid who looks no younger than 24.
"Lunch is served", I smiled and nodded. While the other boy went straight down stairs ignoring the kindness of the maid before us.
"Excuse me...um..."
"Suzuki Shori desu", she smiled.
"Suzuki-san, I just wanted to ask, where are the Matsuyama's? I mean they are the owners of this house...". I asked out of curiosity, obviously I haven't seen the so called "Matsuyama's" eversince I came in...
"Well, they're out for vacation until next winter, until then you can give the orders around the house and we will be putting you to school, how does Sora Gakuen sound?". I nearly passed out when I heard the name.
"S-Sora Gakuen? Isn't that school for..like..for rich kids? Rich and Spoiled kids? I'm neither!", I retorted.
"Well, not all the students are rich and spoiled, i'm sure you'll make good friends and are you sure you aren't spoiled?", she smiled and somehow I felt calm when she did. There was something about her that made me feel, at least, a little comfortable here.
"Now lets get you some lunch ne?", I nodded and followed her downstairs.

Lunch ended early and I was growing bored. I walked around the house a bit, whilst a lot about this place entered my box of knowings. I found out that they have 2 gyms, 3 kitchens, at least 8 comfort rooms, 10 including the comfort rooms in My and Morimoto-kun's bedrooms, a HUGE garden out back and a car port enough for at least 10 cars. That's all I found out right now but I think that's all i'll ever see at the moment, unless I go deeper which is a chance I will not take.
Going back up to my room I noticed loud bangs coming from Morimoto-kun's room. I got curious and went closer to his bedroom door. I knocked but wasn't answered. I opened the door and was met by a flying book which met my forehead...it.was.painful.
"Ugh! Eh? Oh my, are you okay? I didn't notice you there! Chinen-kun?", I guess he tried to assist me in standing up but unfortunately I couldn't understand the situation...Was he helping me? Or is he mad at me? I guess he's trying to help.
"I'll get you ice!", he left me and ran to get whatever he needed to get while I was stuck with the throbbing pain in my head. I couldn't even hear well...my eyes...were getting very heavy...and soon I blacked out...
-
I was awaken by the smell of kiwi and strawberries, looking around I noticed I wasn't in my room, I was in...?
"Ah! You're awake!", Suzuki-san's room.
"W-What happened?", I asked.
"Umm...it's best not to ask, but don't worry, Morimoto-kun's truly sorry for his actions...I've met him before and he was nothing like this", I got curious once again.
"What do you mean?", I asked.
"I'll tell you what happened...", I nodded and got into a comfortable position on the bed.
"I was Ryutaro's maid once, when he was 9 years old--"
"11 years ago!?", I asked
"What? No, 7 Years ago, he's 16, Chinen-kun..."
"That giant!?", I asked again, "Oh sorry...please continue"
"He was always a happy, cheerful boy, always asking to be played with, either it was catch, baseball, anything, as long as it was playing...His parents loved him very much until he turned 10 was when things started to change..."
"Why is that?"
"I quit being their maid because of me not getting my pay on time and although I wanted to stay and help him, I needed to leave, because I, too, have a life. His parents, at his age, were scolding him non-stop about almost everything. Even though he gets wonderful grades his parents have not once congratulated him nor praised him...He would visit this house just to get away from his parents but then a time came when they found out that he has been coming here to escape their wrath...That's all I know...I don't know about the following 6 years but I guess it hasn't changed once..."
"That's...so terrible to hear...", I looked down at my hands. And to think my story was worse compared to his...it actually isn't...Am I just selfish?
-
I made my way back upstairs, noticing it was already evening, I thought i'd take a bath...
"Hey", I turned around
"Oh, hey Morimoto-kun", I greeted back.
"How's your head?"
"It's fine now, thanks for asking", I smiled and he smiled.
"That's good to hear, hey i'm sorry about earlier today...I was just so...I don't know--"
"Angry? People get angry alot", he laughed.
"Haha, yes they do...I guess, i'll see you tomorrow then?", I nodded with a smile at an attempt to ease up the moment even more. I didn't want him mad, hearing what childhood he's had. I didn't want him to be sad nor mad....I just didn't want him to..
"Okay then...", he smiled. He patted my head before going into his room which somehow made me freeze on the spot. I don't know why...but something about his touch made me feel...his pain. I entered my room and sat on my bed...I ran my hands through my hair and was met by that same feeling of his hands...I can somehow feel my heart clench as I continously remember his touch...His past was much more painful than what Suzuki-san has told me...Why was it so painful?
