Chapter 1
*KEITH'S P.O.V*
After my father's death, my mother and I moved into our new house here in Tokyo. New environment, new faces. I sighed heavily, realizing that I gotta adjust once again to my new school here. My mother is a Biomedical Engineer and she has several duties here in Tokyo, so I guess moving here is convenient for her to move easily.
Today is my first day here in Tensai University and I am shaking right now. What if they don't like gays in that school? What if they bully me for being different? Yes, I am gay and I am not ashamed to say or say it, But of course I am also a modest person. I don't act in an exaggerated way. I am smart but that doesn't mean I am an undergo. For your information, I practiced Karate ever since I was 12 years old. I beat people if they are ridiculing me or making fun of me in an offending manner. But of course, I have to keep a low profile here for now. I don't want to cause a ruckus in my first day.
After minutes of riding our car, my mother dropped me in front of the school gate and went to her work after. I'm lucky because my mom isn't abusive and judgmental. She's really caring, also my late father. When I told them what I really am, they just hugged me and supported me. So I guess I am grateful for having such parents. My dad is dead, but I know that he will still support me. I hope that my classmates and other students are the same in my new school.
I walked and went to the principal's office. When I arrived there, I saw the principal and a good looking guy waiting for me. I gotta admit, I am nervous but seeing a guy as handsome as him isn't so bad after all. I guess this school has some treasures as well.
The principal greeted me and introduced me to the guy.
"Good morning Fujisawa-san. I want you to meet this university's Supreme Student President."
The guy comes forward and extended his arm for a handshake.
"Jerome Utsumi."
"Keith Fujisawa." I also extended my arm and both of us did a handshake.
Jerome looks cool and quite the serious type of guy. Base on his appearance, he doesn't act like a jerk. At least his kind.
"Fujisawa-san, I will tour you to the whole school so that you won't be lost. I will also be the one who will tell you the rules and regulations so that you will be aware of what's the Do's and Don't of this school."
"Then I'll be at your care." Me and Keith went outside of the office and he brought me to the school lobby. When we arrived, Jerome suddenly turned around and faced me. He was holding a long rolled paper and gave it to me.
"What Is this?" I asked in confusion.
"It's the map of the school. The rules and regulations are also inside. I heard that you're smart, so you'll get that perfectly." He turned around and started to walk away.
I am speechless. What the hell was that? Is he two faced? I guess my judgement about him was wrong. He's a jerk! A fraud attitude! I don't want this to end up like that so I ran quickly. I pulled his arms and he's now facing me with an annoyed face.
"What do you want?" Is what he said with a matching stiff face.
"What kind of a president are you? Shouldn't you be helping me?"
"But I can't right now. I'm busy." Jerome replied still not bothered.
"Busy? Busy with what? Flirting?" I said with crossed arms.
Jerome moved his face closer to mine and said;
"And what if I will?"
"Wow. Flirting over duty? I thought this only happens in stories." I rolled my eyes
"Whether I flirt or not, it has nothing to do with you newbie. And by the way, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"...Are you gay?"
I was quite for a moment.
"...Yes I am. Why? Got a problem with that? Are you going to insult me? Excuse me, I am proud of myself and If you can't accept students like me, then what good are ya?"
His eyes went wide after what I said.
"Woah, calm down dude. I just asked. I may be a jerk to you but believe me, I know how to respect people."
"Oh really? Since you respect people why not show me around the universi--"
Before I finished my sentence, Jerome turned around and walked away.
"D-did he just say 'respect to people' awhile ago? Is he looking for a beating?! Who the hell voted him to be a president?!" I am so angry that I opened the rolled paper with much force that it almost got torn apart. I followed the directions on the map irritated of what happened.
