Chapter 1

“Oie, wanna hit the arcade today?”, questioned Kai in his sleepish, pretty boy manner.

“Sure”, was Ken’s vacuous reply to this ever-repetitive question.

Both Ken and Kai were sophomores at Shimizudani high school. Ken was taller than Kai, both were well built for their age. While Kai, a natural red-head, was the heart-throb of their school, Ken was on the cooler side. Both had known each other since they were toddlers and had been like brothers since then.

As usual after the bell had rung for the last period, there was bustle in the class, everyone excited now that school was over for the day, making plans with their friends, the usual.

Ken and Kai made their way out of the school and moved towards the arcade, one of their favourite getaways. After reaching the arcade both started to blow their pocket money on whichever game they could lay their hands on. After three hours of intense gaming, Kai asked, “Hey Ken, say let’s visit our base”.

“Sure, after this much hard work we deserve a break”.

Their base was an abandoned pasture with a single apple tree. No one knew why it had only one apple tree, or why did the pasture exist at all, but something about it was so captivating that it had been Ken and Kai’s base for many years now. It was located in the edge of the city where population was less. Whenever they needed a place to relax they would crash there.

As they reached the pasture, Kai gave a discontented grunt, “Huh, who’s that, this is supposed to be our base.”

Ken looked towards where Kai was looking, and that happened. He had seen it happening in anime and movies and had always found it cliche and cringe, but it still happened. Time stood still, Kai’s voice drained out, his focus was only on the girl seated on the bench under the apple tree in front of him. She had long brown hair blowing in the wind, big pearl like eyes, nose with a fine line, and lips which Kai would define as “lush”, and long slender legs. She was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a jean mini skirt with a pair of leather sandal.
