• My name is Ken Yoh and I’m fourteen and I lice in Tokyo Japan. I’m about 5’8 and I have black hair and blue eyes. I intend Origami High School, people look up to me because I’m team captain of the basketball team, and I am only a first year. To tell you the truth I really don’t give a crap about other people accept my friend Mugen. He also plays basketball with me. He is really good but people don’t really see him. Last game we had he was six for six in three point shots and fifteen assists. He is the only person I think at my school will even have a chance of beating me in basketball. Me and Mugen already have colleges looking at us, and were only first years. We’ll last game I had 45 points, 8 steals, and 10 assists. It’s not the best game I played but overall it was a good game. Ring, Ring, Ring, Ken alarm clock went off at six o’clock in the morning. I got up and rubbed my head. You know, I actually I do this every time I get up from sleep. I rub my head. Anyway I got a towel for I can take my showers. I don’t to be the weird person here but I love taking showers in the mourning because I feel free like I washed all my troubles away. I took a 10 minute shower and after that I brush my teeth put on deodorant. I put my uniform on and about that time it was time to go. Looked the kitchen counter looking for my uncle but he left a note saying he was off at business again. Last time he was off at business he was wasn’t home until about 2 months. It’s cool though because I stayed out as long as I wanted to. I know you’re asking yourself why what happen to your mother and father. We’ll here is your answer, there both dead. They have been dead ever since I was a baby due to a plane accident. I grabbed the house keys and motor scooter keys, and left out the house. It was pretty warm since school just really started about four weeks ago. I opened the gate that’s next to my house which leads to the back house were my motor scooter is. I had my motor scooter last year for my birthday. It’s pretty fast because it goes to like 80 miles per hour. I pulled out, got on it and put the key in the incision. It made a big roar sound and the sound made all the birds fly away from the tree that was right above me. I started to drive away from the lot. I always loved to drive my scooter because it was so fast and smooth on the road. It’s pretty to have one. It’s nothing special though because most kids at my school had one. The school was about 5 miles away from my school. I drove in the school parking lot. People were starring at me because I didn’t have a helmet on my head or because we won that game that last night. I parked on the student side and took the keys out and started walking towards the building. As I reach the front entrance door someone had grabbed my arm hard as hell like they were looking for me to kill me. I figure it was probably a jealous upper classmen. I put my fist in a tight ball and turn around and swung at the person. The person ducked swiftly. “What the ******** was that for Ken, it’s me Mugen.” “My bad man I thought you were someone else you grabbed my shoulder pretty hard b***h.” We’ll my bad, but man was on a three game win streak, I think we might go to Nationals this year.” “Man we will.” Yeah….. .. We’ll see. We went inside of the cool building. The building was pretty nice since it was built 5 years ago. We had good computers, vender machines, and a video game room. It’s a pretty good private school, in this part of town. I and Mugen sat down at the normal seats we seat at in breakfast. In the back on the left by the water fountain no one drinks from because they it’s cursed. They say what ever you’re good at will disappear if you drink from it. “Hey Mugen, I said.” “What’s up man?” “I had a dream that I got bitten by this strange girl and she was so beautiful that anyone in the world would kill to be with her, but she chooses to be with me.” “What kind of dream was that, a freaky vampire girl, bro, you really need to get laid”. “Man that’s ******** up’. “ I don’t see why you haven’t got any your one of the most popular teens in school; you could get love like that from the back.” “I told you I was waiting on the one man.” “Yeah what ever, said Mugen.” He had a confused look on he’s face. “Here comes your little girlfriend, said Mugen”, “s**t.” Ever since I came to this school and beat the old team captain this girl name Amy. She has always been on my jock. She’s cute and all but she’s crazy as hell. One time she was at one of my games she had a huge sign that said go Ken go. You’re the best. It was embarrassing at that game I couldn’t even concentrate that game. “Hi Ken, why didn’t you go to the after party, when the basketball”. ‘I got to tired to go because of the game and I don’t go to parties when there is school the next day”. “You didn’t say hey to me, Amy.” “Oh… Ohm hey Mugen how is you doing.” Amy never liked Mugen since he beat her old boyfriend a** because he was talking a lot of crap. She had a look on her face like she wanted to hit he’s face. “We’ll are you going to the next party on Saturday after the varsity game.” “I’ll think about ok.” “Cool guess I will see you later” “Yeah you do that.” “Man, you she really digs you man, said Mugen.” Who cares I don’t like her.” “You don’t have to like, just stuff her then don’t mess with her anymore.” When he said that comment about what he did to girls I started to laugh hard as hell. “God Mugen, I wonder how many females you done that to.” “I’ll have to say about 20 at least.” The bell ranged for class, and me and Mugen rushed to the freshman hall. It’s always so many people in the halls, talking to people like they don’t have anywhere to go. I remember the first week of school, there were so many people in the hall way I missed 10 minutes of my first class. My first period class is Gym and Mugen first period Biology. My gym class sucks, because all we do is play basketball. I’m not saying its bad it’s just that people tend to try to pick me first when a game is started. I walked to my gym looker and changed into the gym uniform. “Hey ken, nice game yesterday day man, said a boy.” “Thanks.” I walked to the bleachers for role call. As the teacher was calling role call I looked across the gym were the other gym class were. It’s this chick that never dresses out in class and she’s always got cool Goth clothes no one ever seen before. Today she had on a black skirt long black socks with skulls on and black tennis shoes. You know those long hand gothic people were, well yeah she had those on. She had black finger nail polish and a black skull t-shirt to top it off on her outfit. She also had black hair and looked about 5’5. As I kept thinking about the girl across the gym, some dude name lance in my class kept tapping me. “What!” “Dude the teacher calling you for role.” “Oh, I’m here.” “Next time pay more attention ken, said the gym teacher. “Yes sir.” looked backed across the gym to see the girl but she wasn’t there. After school me and Mugen left with our scooters and went to the arcade. The arcade is most teenagers, and men with no life go after school or work. They always had all the high scores on a bulletin for the game they won in. Mugen went straight to the street fighter three since he was the high score champion of that. He put he’s money in and started playing with Ryu. “Hey Mugen, said ken.” “Yeah what is it.” “Who is that Goth chick no one knows about at school?” He was trying to come up with answer and play the game at the same time. “Ohm…., I know her name is Sympathy, and she not that smart.” ““That’s a unique name, never heard that one before.” “Why you ask?” “I’m going to try to talk to her tomorrow.” “That’s cool she is fine as hell and has an a** too.” “After Mugen got done with the game he insisted I should play the basketball game. You know the game were you shoot the basketballs until the time runs out. Of course who ever had a high before I came was gone. I beat it by 3000 points. Then Mugen played and then he was close of beating my score, he was done by 100 points.” Ken, why are you always one step ahead of me in basketball?” “Don’t know?” “Hey lets go to the cession stand to get something to drink, said Mugen.” The cessions stand was all the way in the back and always had a large line. Mugen was telling me about how this chick in he’s first period started rubbing on he’s d**k, and he almost c** on himself. Mugen always had the sexy girls; you would think I had all the girls. I think I like this way though, most girls are same. There either stuck up, or to friendly. I always was a loner, at school and at home. My uncle is always at work or on business trips, I basically I be at home all by myself. We finally made it to the front of the line and Mugen ordered to fruit Punch sodas. “Hey you want anything else, said Mugen.” “Naw I’m fine man.” I think that’s why I and Mugen are best friends, best we relate on a lot of things. Like he’s parents are never home, so most of the time we spend the night over houses. We got our drinks and went to seat down. He handed me the cold fruit punch soda. “Ken you really need a female in your life man.” “ Well we’ll see.’ “ Hey got to run man its getting late, said Ken.” “ Alright, I think I’m going to stay here.” I finished off the soda and walked out the arcade. Its was about eight o’clock and I wanted to get home to study on the quiz tomorrow. I grabbed my motor scooter keys, and started it. I drove for the arcade parking lot. As I was driving I was so glad that we did not have basketball practice. Basketball practice is so tiring. All the running and play calling, you just get tired.
