Summary: Akanishi Jin is the president of the student council. Being the president, he is supposed to be hardworking and can efficiently carry out things. Sadly, he's too lazy or sleepy to do his work that he thinks up of lame excuses to pass on the work to the other members of the club. The vice-president, who is the only person that can coerce Jin into doing his work is currently busy with his drama filming that the members decided to add a new member that would also act as a vice-president. Who will the new member be? Can he help Jin?
Author Note: This is the first chapter of Council Love. Thank you to those who read and commented to the previous chapter *bows* And thank you to my beta who helped me with this chapter <3
Hey! Watch where you’re going!”
Jin gaped at the boy before him, clearly confused as to why he reacted so strongly. Jin furrowed his eyebrow. He only bumped into him and even said sorry! So why was the boy so angry? He cleared his throat and bowed.
“I’m very sorry, um…?”
“Kamenashi. Kamenashi Kazuya.”
“Well, I’m very sorry then, Kamenashi-san.”
Kazuya merely let out a faint tsk and his glare was replaced by a blank stare. Great. Just great. It was his first day of school and he was trying very hard to avoid trouble. But it seems trouble had been the one to find him. He let out an audible sigh as he remembered the events that happened to him earlier in the morning…
~~~
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Kazuya groaned as he slowly woke from his sleep. Brown sleepy eyes opened as a yawn escaped his mouth. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up on his bed and looked at his clock by the bedside table. 11:45 am, it read.
“Oh shit.” At this rate, he was going to be really late, seeing as it was close to lunch.
Scrambling ungracefully out of bed, he hurried dressing up and dashed towards his door. But not after stopping in front of the mirror to look at his appearance; to see if anything is out of place. After all, he did want to make a good impression since it was his first day - even though he was hours late.
Hair perfect without a lock out of place - check. Akai Ito Gakuen uniform pressed and without a wrinkle in sight - check. Looks excited to go to school and try to make a good first impression - check.
Satisfied, Kazuya let out a smile, grabbed his bag near the tall mirror and went downstairs in time to see his mom setting the table.
“Good morning, mom!” Kazuya greeted enthusiastically while sitting down on a chair, saying a quiet ‘Ittadakimasu!’ before digging in. His mother merely smiled at the scene before pouring herself a cup of tea and a glass of juice for Kazuya.
Sitting down beside her son, she handed him his drink and Kazuya accepted it with a grateful smile, sipping a bit of his juice. A few moments of silence passed before Mrs. Kamenashi glanced at the clock.
“You woke up really late today, Kazuya…” Mrs. Kamenashi said, a hint of warning in her tone. “But since it is your first day, I’m sure they would forgive you this once.”
“Huh?” Kazuya stated rather intelligently before looking at the clock as well. 12:00 pm. Oh no! He forgot the time! He gave out a gasp and quickly stood up before remembering that he was still eating. Sitting back right down, he gobbled up the food, choked a bit, and drank his juice before standing up and rushing towards the door.
“Thanks for the food! I’m going now!”
Kazuya shouted, already wearing his shoes and was out of the front door, leaving his mother a bit bewildered. Kazuya ran as fast as he could in order to reach the school on time. Good thing he played baseball before and thus, he was pretty fast at running.
Reaching Akai Ito minutes later, Kazuya was hunched over, hands on his knees, panting at the run that tired him out. Kazuya was then struck by a thought. Kazuya inwardly blanched at his stupidity.
‘Note to self: I have a bike! Use it!’ Kazuya wanted to face palm at his stupidity. He forgot that he had a bike! A bike that would be useful for mornings wherein he would be late. Greaaaat.
Sighing in frustration at the time he could have saved riding his bike than running, he walked inside the school to be in awe.
“Wow…This school really IS big!” Kazuya exclaimed, taking notice of his surroundings. Finally! He was inside Akai Ito Gakuen, his dream come true! His reason for enrolling in this school was because not only does it produce successful people, it also offers quality education.
Kazuya was never really a fan of groups Akai Ito Gakuen had produced, rather, he was here for the education. But still, looking around the campus and seeing faces that are usually seen on TV was quite overwhelming for Kazuya.
“Neeee~ shall we go visit Pi and Ryo today~?”
Kazuya snapped out of his musings and turned his head to see Tegoshi Yuya walking with other members of NEWS. Mainly Koyama Keiichiro [affectionately called Kei-chan] and Masuda Takahisa, Massu for short.
Keiichiro, who was about to remind Yuya that Ryo and Pi are currently busy, stopped altogether when he saw Kazuya standing a few feet away from them. Yuya and Massu also stopped; looking at Keiichiro in question before turning to what caught Keiichiro’s attention.
“Ara? A new student?”
Yuya skipped the few steps away from Kazuya and looked at him from head to toe. “I’m Tegoshi Yuya! What’s your name?” Yuya asked in that I-am-Tegoshi-Yuya-so-find-me-cute kind of voice.
Kazuya merely stared at the three strangers in front of him. Okay, not really strangers since he had seen them on TV more than once. He suddenly felt awkward standing there, gaping at the school. He cleared his throat once. Twice.
“I’m Kamenashi Kazuya. Pleased to meet you um, Tegoshi-kun.”
Yuya laughed and gave Kazuya a pat on his back. “Calling me Yuya is fine, Kazuya! I can call you Kazuya right…? And these two people here are Koyama Keiichiro and Masuda Takahisa!” He exclaimed before introducing his two friends.
Kazuya had a blank look on his face. Boy, he never knew Yuya was this talkative in real life. Nor that cheerful. He winced inwardly as he noticed that Yuya was still babbling something about a certain Yamapi and Ryo not spending time with them lately. Kazuya faked a cough to get his attention.
“Excuse me, not to be rude but…How did you know that I was a new student?” Keiichiro smiled.
“It’s because we don’t usually get new students in the middle of the year….” He started.
“And! Everyone practically knows each other in this school.” Massu finished.
For the second time that day, Kazuya wanted to face palm. Of course! Since everyone in this school have either appeared on TV have done concerts, everybody knew each other!
“Anyway, since you’re a new student, I think you should go to the Student Council. They often handle the things that are going on in this school.” Yuya suggested.
Kazuya felt himself being dragged along with the three as they walked down the hall. Kazuya looked at the people who were talking about an upcoming single, voice rehearsals, dance practices, and who knew what else.
The next thing Kazuya knew, he was pushed to the ground by a blur. Said blur kept apologizing and extended out a hand which Kazuya took. He dusted his clothes that he was sure had wrinkles. ‘So much for looking perfect and making a good impression…’ Kazuya thought in dismay.
He looked up to the man who was flushed. From running maybe, Kazuya surmised. “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” Before Kazuya stopped himself, he had said it out loud.
“I’m very sorry, um…?”
“Kamenashi. Kamenashi Kazuya.”
“Well, I’m very sorry then, Kamenashi-san.”
~~~
…Ugh. Just remembering what happened to him made him want to groan in frustration. He did not want to attract much attention on his first day. At all.
“Ahh~ Jin! Just the person we wanted to see!” Yuya exclaimed as he bounced his way to Jin. “Ne ne ne! He’s a new student here,” Jin nodded in understanding. So that’s why he hasn’t seen the Kamenashi guy before. “and I wanted to bring him to the student council, you know, to welcome him!” Yuya finished.
Kazuya just looked on at the scene before him. It appears that this Jin guy or whatever his name is, is probably a part of the student council? Kazuya snorted at that thought.
‘No way. He looks idiotic to be part of the student council.’
“Ah…a new student? This is rare for this school to be accepting students during this time of year.” Jin mused out loud, with a hint of interest in his voice. It was true though; their school rarely accepted students to enter during the middle of the school year.
“Oiiii! Bakanishi! We thought you were already making yourself fat, not standing in the middle of the hall looking like an idiot!”
Ryo’s voice was heard a little ways behind Jin and all turned to the group that was approaching. Jin bristled at the nickname and met the group halfway.
“Hmph. For your information, Bakanishikido, Tegoshi stopped me from reaching the cafeteria.”
“Liar~ Jin is a liar~ he bumped into Kazuya here~ It’s not my fault!” Came Yuya’s reply.
“Kazuya? A new student?” The other members of the student council asked as they looked towards Kazuya’s direction. Kazuya, feeling uncomfortable, introduced himself. “I’m Kamenashi Kazuya, nice to meet you.”
After pleasantries were exchanged, Kazuya voiced out a question: “Excuse me…But may I know where the student council is…? Tegoshi-ku…Yuya told me that they would be able to help me..?”
Receiving blank stares from the student council members, Kazuya felt like he was missing something. Something very important.
“You are looking at them, Kamenashi-kun.” Keiichiro helpfully supplied the clueless Kazuya.
“Eh?”
“Hime, Yamapi, Ryo, Taguchi, and Jin are all members of the student council.” Massu added.
“Ehhhh?!” But these guys look…look not student council material!
Kazuya first looked at Tatsuya who was quiet the whole time. He thought that Tatsuya, or Hime, as they put it, looks feminine to be a guy, Yamapi looked a bit weird making this hand sign and saying ‘Kon’ to himself every now and then, Ryo was just too sarcastic and doesn’t look like one to do work, Taguchi just…smiles nonstop! And Jin...He just doesn’t look like a student council member. At all.
He wouldn’t be surprised if Tatsuya was the president. After all, he was the one who looked capable the most. But he just had to ask…
“Oh…So, may I know who is the president?”
“That would be Bakanishi.” Ryo.
“Jin.” Tatsuya and Tegoshi.
“Akanishi-kun.” Keiichiro and Massu.
“Me.” Jin.
“It’s Jin, kon!” Yamapi.
“Jin.” Taguchi. Smile.
Silence.
Blink. Blink.
“Ehhhhhh?!!!!!”
