Chapter 1

BANG! "Ouch!" A thin looking brunet lay flat on the ground screamed. He lifted his head and began to rub where he felt a bruise begin to form. "Stupid," he grumbled as he began to climb back in bed.

"Tsu-kun, are you alright?!" yelled a sweet and caring voice from downstairs.

"I'm fine, just being dame again," Tsuna whispered the last part to himself. He looks up to his ceiling and thinks of the day he is about to embark.

Tsuna is 15-year-old who had just switched schools again. He hopes for a successful three years of a being a new person to this new school. One thing, though, Tsuna is a major dame. For example, this morning. What 15-year-old falls out of bed, and not just today but almost every morning. Tsuna sigh looking already defeated. He rose out of bed to get ready for his first day of high school.

As Tsuna looks into the mirror to check if he looked alright, he feels this sensation in the back of his head. He reaches around to touch it and feels nothing but another bruise. 'Must have gotten it in my sleep somehow,' he thinks as he tries to straighten his outfit and began to head downstairs.

"Good morning, Tsu-kun," a short sweet woman in the kitchen says, "Are you ready for your first day of high school? My little Tsu-kun is growing up so quickly!" she cries to herself. Tsuna sits in his spot where his breakfast was waiting as he watched his mother takes off to get rice for him.

Tsuna sighs again on the inside as he thinks about how much he isn't ready for today. His mother returns and sits next to him as he smiles his big bright smile and begins to eat.

Finished with breakfast, Tsuna heads out waving bye to his mother as she waves bye to him. He waits for a second as if expecting someone to follow after him. Noticing nothing was coming he slowly turned and began to head to his new high school, Namimori High.

Last year, Tsuna attended a middle school thirty minutes away by bus. At least, on the days he decided to go. This year though, he had decided to go to the high school that was only a 15-minute walk away.

Why did he go somewhere so far? He just didn't want to see his classmates from school when he went out with his mother shopping. Plain and simple in his opinion. He didn't want to be Dame Tsuna in front of his mother, or at least not more so.

Tsuna continues to walk until he reaches a house. At the front gate was his nightmare, who continued to sleep. Tsuna stared at the little bloodthirsty creature before deciding to try sneaking by it. Tsuna beings to walks carefully past the gate in hopes of not waking the beast. Tsuna celebrates inside for having succeeded for the first time in his life. Tsuna takes this as a sign of good fortune for the day.

Tsuna arrives at school. He begins to walk to his new homeroom. Tsuna walks in with little people in the room. Most of the seats are open to taking. Tsuna decided the night before where the best spot to sit is at. Tsuna looked to the back row and the row by the window. He could tell those would be for the delinquents like he thought. A few smarter looking students took up the front rows of those last three rows closer to the window. He could see a few athletic types surrounding the middle area and knew not to go in front of them if he wanted to survive the year more successfully.

Tsuna knew the middle of any row was best so he began to head to the first-row middle seat. He secretly hoped he wouldn't make a fool of himself by just walking to his seat. He made sure to go at a safe pace while trying to rush to his seat, hating to have anyone's attention on him for much longer.

Tsuna can hear more students coming in as he walked to his seat. Tsuna made it to his seat and threw his bag on the desk as he felt a heavy presence behind him. Unable to ignore the strong presence, he turned quickly to face it.

He came face to face with a long silvered hair grouchy-faced guy, Tsuna gulped in fear that this guy was a delinquent. He began to panic inside because he believed the delinquents would sit in the back row or by the window with the nerds. The teen grunted as he felt Tsuna staring at him.

Tsuna tried to calm down but could not relax his beating heart. He tried to be friendly and mind his own business, so he began to sit down in his chair. But Dame Tsuna began acting up again, and he missed his own chair landing on the floor. Having brought down not only his chair, as he reached out in panic, but also the delinquent in front of him. A grunt and a slight squeak from Tsuna echoed in the now silent room.

After a moment, the room erupted in laughter. It echoed in the room and down the hall. Spectators began to stare into the room to see the cause of so much laughter. Tsuna, flustered, began to apologize to the other teen he had embarrassed and pulled down him to the floor.

He barely heard the grunt from the other because all Tsuna could focus on was the laughter around him as he apologized to the taller teen. Tsuna began to feel tears form at the ends of his eyes. 'Stupid why did you do that? Now, this guy might hate you or worse beat you up for embarrassing him. STUPID! Why can't I just have one normal school day before Dame Tsuna starts acting up!' Tsuna screamed to himself.

"Ha! It's Dame Tsuna! He's always so clumsy and was a big loser in middle school! Ha ha!" yelled a student from the entrance of the classroom.

Tsuna blushed harder from the embarrassment and tears began to escape his eyes as he stared down at his hands knowing that his secret was out already. Everyone was now going to find out about how much of a loser he was. He had hoped to have a friend or two before it happened, but fate seemed to have other plans.

"Dame Tsuna?"

"I bet he can't do anything."

"What a loser!"

Tsuna could hear the negative words from the people in and outside of the classroom. He began to lose hope in his high school life when an irritated growl was heard right next to him.

Tsuna looks to his right seeing the forgotten silver teen begin to get up from the ground with a frustrated and angry face. Tsuna looked down to the ground knowing he must be upset with him for not only dropping him but having everyone laugh at them. In the process, making him be noticed. The delinquent boy stood back in his spot not moving just standing as if he was waiting for something to happen.

Tsuna stayed on the ground feeling ashamed looking down on the ground again when he heard a slightly deep and rough voice yell out, "Shut the hell up! I am tired of all you idiots laughing about something so stupid." Tsuna looked up in shock to hear a voice so harsh yelling at the others.

The teen standing in front of him turned back to him with his hand out for him to take as if he was offering help. Tsuna looked at it carefully. He felt unsure of it. 'Is it a trick? Was he going to hurt me or make a fool out of him?' Tsuna questioned himself. Tsuna then grasped the bigger hand and felt himself being lifted off the ground.

Tsuna landed lightly on his feet wobbling for a second before getting his footing. He was about to thank the much taller teen, but he turned away from the brunet teen. He then reached down to help Tsuna get his bag and a couple of books that flew out, and he handed them to Tsuna. Blushing a bit at how the class was still giggling about Dame Tsuna, Tsuna sends a shy thank you to the taller teen.

Tsuna felt sad to have been so embarrassed already but happy the delinquent boy didn't hate on him like the others. The taller one sat with ignoring Tsuna's sorry excuse of a thank you. Tsuna, feeling like a fool, sits behind the other not able to relieve the flush and embarrassment he felt. He sat quickly and buried his head into his arms. Tsuna feels a rush of uselessness run through him. Tsuna, having a dark aura around himself, sat in his chair waiting for the day, no, the year, to end already.

The whispers and laughter left as he heard a sweet voice come into the room. In response, the male population of the classroom began to act out. Some talking loudly about sports, weightlifting, previous reputations from middle school, and class ranking all in hopes to getting the pretty girl's attention.

Tsuna looked up from his arms curious about where the sweet voice belonged to. Noticing a short, light brown haired girl laughing with another taller, darker haired girl. The short one looked so kind and sweet looking. Tsuna stared amazingly at the cute girl walking inside. She looked up finding a spot for her and her friend seeing the first two rows front seats were not taken.

'So close,' Tsuna thought as he watched the black-haired teen sit in front of the silver-haired delinquent, and the smaller girl sitting next to her in front of an empty seat. Tsuna stared and was grabbing his bag when he saw a shift from the other males in the room. He sees them all making a move to the empty seat. Tsuna tried making rush for the seat before the others. Just as Tsuna was jumping out of his chair to get to the desk he tripped and fell on the floor next to the teen he had dropped before. Laughter erupted from the other students in class again.

"There goes Dame Tsuna again!" they laughed.

The cute brunet turned to look behind herself looking surprised. The delinquent he had dropped before snorted at Tsuna making Tsuna think he must be laughing at him for being a loser and falling again. Tsuna felt like he should just get up from the floor and run away for the rest of the day.

Suddenly Tsuna felt himself being pulled up from the ground and his legs and arms hung in the air. Tsuna looked up to see the scowling teen looking at him with a scolding stare. Tsuna felt like a beaten puppy carried by his collar by his owner. "What are you doing dumbass? Can't you even walk right without causing problems? What can't you even talk now?" he grumbled glaring at Tsuna like a nuisance.

Tsuna felt bad for being trouble for the other teen again. As Tsuna was dropped to his feet, he wanted to do something for the other. Perhaps an apology for causing so much trouble or to tell him he will disappear and be no trouble again. But Tsuna was just stuck on what to say or do, he could only listen as his new classmates continue to enjoy the Dame Tsuna show.

"Hey Gokudera, you're in this class too?" A spiked blacked haired teen walked in looking athletic and strong. He walked up to me looking down at the delinquent teen next to Tsuna.

"Shut up, baseball freak." The silver haired teen grumbled sitting down. Tsuna began to move back to his seat behind Gokudera forgetting about the seat behind the pretty girl.

The new guy noticed the brunette and laughed saying, "Sorry was I interrupting something?" He looked unapologetic, but a bright laugh and smile.

Tsuna having just sat down, looked up to the brown eyed boy, "Umm no, I was just sitting down." Tsuna flustered as he gained more attention. He quickly looked down at his desk. The dark-haired boy turned to Gokudera, "It's awesome we're in the same class this year, huh?" Gokudera ignored the boy as he rolled his eyes ignoring him. The athletic boy threw his bag on the desk next to Gokudera and behind the pretty girl. He continued saying things to Gokudera about trying out for the baseball team here. Tsuna began to lay his head down on the desk again as the last of the students arrived and the last bell rang.

Everyone quieted down when the teacher arrived. Tsuna still contemplated about leaving to the nurse's office to get away and go home. The teacher began taking attendance. It could be heard from around the room laughter as Tsuna's name was called. Tsuna found out the cute girl's name was Kyoko Sasagawa and Hana Kurokawa was the dark-haired friend of hers. The "baseball freak" was named Yamamoto Takeshi.

"Today we will be taking a quiz to see how much you each know before we get started tomorrow with a real lesson. There are 10 questions and each has two or three parts to it. Each question represents a chapter in our book. These are beginner questions just to see what basics you remember from middle school." He began to pass out the test saying "Do not flip the paper until I say."

Tsuna looked at the white back of the paper terrified of what will happen when he tries to answer the questions. What will happen when the teacher finds out how much of a loser Tsuna was not being able to answer beginner questions? What will happen when everyone finds out how Tsuna fails everything? The teacher announced "You will have 30 mins to complete the quiz. Completely as much as you are capable of. You may begin."

The sounds of paper flipping occurred as Tsuna continued to dread the quiz as he flipped his test. Tsuna wrote his name at the top and began reading the problem one. It asked something about whether the number was a normal, real, imaginary, and non-real numbers. 'Was this a trick? How can a number not be normal or REAL!?' Tsuna screamed in his head. He began to answer it in hopes that he might get something right. Each question left him more confuse and more depress.

Finally giving up, Tsuna looked up after 20 minutes to see Gokudera taking a nap and his test still sat flipped over on his desk. 'Well, at least I tried. Maybe the teacher will go easy on me for trying and caring about my school work.' Tsuna hoped. Tsuna sighed and began working on his paper again trying to get more done in the last minutes. The 30 minutes went by fast and the teacher began picking up the papers.

Dread began to fill Tsuna.
