Settings:

⁃ The blue sky is being partially covered by a few clouds that are scattered

⁃ The school bell begins to ring as the class ends

⁃ It has been a few days since Yukihime had learned about Shin and the war between the Dragons and Mages

⁃ Yukihime can be seen looking in Shin’s direction, so focused on him as if she was trying to solve a puzzle

⁃ The male students are still showing to be mesmerized by Yukihime’s beauty

Dialogue:

Shin: (His head laying on the desk) “Hey man, is she still staring at me?”

Shiro: (Turning to see Yukihime staring daggers in Shin’s direction) “ Uhh, yeah, locked straight on you. Damn, what the hell did you do to get all her attention like that you lucky bastard?”

(Shin picked up his head to see all the boys in his class looking at him with anger and envy in their eyes.)

Shin: (Sigh with a single drop of sweat rolling down his head) “ Lucky huh? If you think so then please take the “Luck” for yourself.”

Shin: (In his head) “ Ever since she found out about me she’s been following and watching me everywhere I go. (Showing scenes of following or watching Shin while he is walking to school, In class, poking her head around the corner as he goes to the bathroom, and various other scenes) This would be a dream come true if it wasn’t that damn walking bad luck charm.”

Ketsuki: “ Seriously, why is she all stuck on you when all this manliness (flexing and posing) is ready and willing.”

Shiro: (Smiles nervously) “ Sure there is tough guy. Anyway Shin, you should be careful with how much your around Yukihime or else you really will end up on her fan club’s hit list.”

Shin: “What the hell, she’s got a fan club already? She just got here a few weeks ago.”

Shiro: “ We’ll it took about a week of her being here for them to build a cult for her. It’s called the Ice Princess’s Personal Guards. I talked to one of their members and found out that all of them concluded that no one is good enough for their princess. So now they're watching out for any guy who tries to get close to her.”

Ketsuki: “ Yep, and with the way she seems to be all over you, I’d be more shocked if you weren’t on their hit list now.

(As this was being said, Yukihime is seen walking over to Shin and friends.)

Yukihime: “ Hey Shin, can I talk to you for a bit, alone?”

( Dreading the idea of being seen with Yukihime out of fear of her fan club, Shin’s would give off an annoyed expression)

Shin: “Nope, not even for a second. (Laying his head back on the desk)”

Yukihime: (Annoyed) “ Oh come on, I just want to ask if you have any idea of when those other Dra-“

(Shin jumps out of the seat with nervous sweat dripping down his face to cover Yukihime’s mouth before she continues her statement.)

Shiro: (In confusion) “Dra, dra what?”

Shin: ( still covered in a cold sweat) “ Dra…draft racers. Yea, we saw some near the school when we were walking home one day. It was really crazy, I think they might be filming a movie close by. (nervous laugh)”

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

(Shiro and Ketsuki both look at Shin confused.)

Shin: “ Anyway, me and Yukihime have to talk for a bit. If we’re not back before the teacher, just tell them that we had to go to the nurse.”

(Shin runs out of the class while pulling Yukihime by the hand.)

Shiro and Ketsuki: “ What the hell?”

(While running out of the class, an unnoticeable boy whose face could not be fully seen was shown to have a snowflake-shaped button on the collar of his uniform.)

(In a deserted hallway farther away from the classroom)

Shin: (Vein popping out of his forehead)” Why the hell would you bring that up during class in front of everyone?”

Yukihime: “ W-what do you mean? I just wanted to know if we should be on the lookout for them after how long it’s been. I don’t see the issue with just wanting to know that.”

Shin: (Sigh while holding between his eyebrows) “ Bad luck, crazy, and stupid; you really are the whole package for a bad luck charm. Think about it for a second, how do you think anyone in the class, no the world who didn’t know the truth already would respond to hearing about how we saw and fought dragons on the rooftop of the school?”

Yukihime: “ Umm, well…”

Shin: “ Can’t think of an answer, well let me tell you. Either they’ll be scared and think that I’m a monster or they’ll think we’re crazy and avoid us.”

Yukihime: (In her head) “ Well yeah, he’s right. Come to think of it, if I didn’t hear any of this from Ms. Sakura or seen Shin fight those guys I would be thinking the same thing. I guess I wasn’t thinking right.”

Shin: (Rubbing his hair) “Look, when or if those guys come back is nothing for you to worry about. It’ll just be better if you’d just try to go back to your normal life and stop following me around. (Begins to walk away from Yukihime) Besides, the more you’re around, the more shit I’ll have to deal with later. (Sigh) Give me a damn break.”

Yukihime: (In her head) “ What does he mean, why would it be an issue for me to be around him?”

(Yukihime returns to the classroom. When she entered the room it showed that were more boys in the class than before. Almost all the boys were seen to have the snowflake button on the collar of their uniform.)

Shiro: “Hey Yukihime, where did Shin go I thought he was with you?”

Yukihime: (Annoyed after what happened between her and Shin)” Why would I know where that idiot ran off to, he could be in a ditch for all I care.”

Ketsuki: “Damn, I wonder what he did to piss you off. Well, I hope he doesn’t run into your Personal Guards while he’s out there.”

Yukihime: (Confused) “ My personal what?”

Ketsuki: “Oh I’m surprised you never heard about it yet. It’s been the whole talk of the school for a few days now.”

Yukihime:(Nervous single drop of sweat rolls down her face) “Ah, well…(in her head) I’ve been so stuck on Shin and the Dragon thing that I guess that I zoned everything else out. (Speaking aloud) Anyway, what do you mean by my personal guards?”

(Ketsuki and Shiro begin to tell Yukihime about the Ice Princess’s Personal Guards.)

(The next scene shows Shin walking in the hallways of the school.)

Shin: (Annoyingly rubbing his head) “Ughh Dammit, was I too hard on her? I mean all she really wants to do is make sure that we’re safe now. And she is still all new to this and is still learning. I guess I should apologize and give her some advice for later. Besides, (a cartoonish image of Sakura shows up in a thought bubble) that Granny told me to make sure I keep her safe too so she’s gonna be around anyway. I’ll try to talk to her on the way home and…”

( Shin notices that there is a group of people slowly encircling him.)

Shin: “Hey, not quite sure what the hell is going on but can you guys get out of my way? I’m already in a pretty shitty mood.”

Random #1: “Look at him. Acting all cool just because the princess talks to him.”

Random #2: “Disgusting, he has no right to be near the princess at all!”

(The angry comments towards Shin continued)

(A slim, blonde-headed girl with short hair deep green eyes began to walk forward from the crowd)

???: “ (Chuckling with her hand slightly covering over her mouth) Well well, so this is the vermin that dares to get near our Ice Princess. Shin Moyasu was it?”

Shin: (Confused) “ Um yea, and who the hell might you and your flunkies be?”

Aoi: “ Hm and such a vulgar mouth as well. You truly do have no right to be near our princess. But I suppose that you do have the right to a proper introduction. We are the Ice Princess’s Personal Guard who have sworn to protect our princess from those who are not worthy of her time or attention. And I am the leader of the Guard, Aoi Saito of Saito Marketing International (a golden background is showing with signs of money and dollar bills showing around her)”.

(Shin look at Aoi as if she was crazy as he has no idea who her family is nor their business)

Shin: (Eyes showing to be closed)” Oh, well names Shin Moyasu (puts hand up to do a slight wave) I would say it’s nice to meet ya but I think I had my full of craziness today so I’m gonna take my leave first.” (begins to turn around to walk away from the crowd)

(While attempting to leave he was stopped by the guards)

Aoi: (Chuckling) “Did you really think that it would be so easy to just leave like this? (Pulled out a folding fan) Oh no my dear, there is still a matter that is needed to be discussed between us.”

Shin: (Annoyed) “ And what would that be?”

Aoi: “It would be the matter of how close and friendly you are when it comes to our princess, (she begins to clutch the folding fan tightly) Miyoko Yukihime!”

Shin: (A single cold sweat rolls down his face while dark lines of stress begin to show on his face) “ Ehh? Wait, are you seriously say it because of…(Begins to remember what Shiro and Ketsuki had warned him about before) so these guys are from that group.”

Aoi: “Yes, and because of this a decision was made that a lesson was needed to be taught to you so that you can truly learn your place!” (She points her fan at Shin to initiate the boys to attack)

(The boys begin to charge at Shin)

Shin: (Annoyed while picturing Yukihime in his head) “That Goddamn bad luck-, give me a damn break!”
