Life and Times At Plastic High by LittleSingingBird

Introduction

When you first step onto the grounds of high school, as a freshman, or freshie for short, you are immediately a little fish in a massive pond. You have extremely limited options as that little fish to find your place. Also, you are apart of the majority, which is very likely you just survive. But there are the chosen few that get lucky and they don’t just survive, they evolve and thrive. They are the leaders of the pack and like the rest of us, they are striving to be #1. And like the famous quote by the illustrious Elizabethan author and play-write William Shakespeare from his play Twelfth Night, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” That is what we all crave, to rule them all with an iron fist and for them to answer and do what you command without question. Dictatorship-esque but ruthlessly effective none the less. Unfortunatly, with that style of leadership, you lose “followers” very quickly; but we don’t see that, we see that we have a token spot at the top of the food chain and we don’t care who we had to step on to get there.

However, there is one way to get power, prestige and respect by not only your peers but your teachers as well. And there was only one person to achieve it practically single-handedly, we called him Akihiko. Though his clique which was not large but it was far from small. The clique was and forever will be known as “The Young Royals” and no one will ever top them. He was...what you would call an It-Boy, he knew everyone and everyone ”knew” him, and if you didn’t know who he was, they it would be best for you to crawl back into your little hole or rock you have been living under. Myself on the other hand, not the It-Girl, but I know a lot of the right people and I’m at the right place at the right time. People know me, though it may be due to my family name, and/or my friends, especially my friend Gogo, we enjoy to blend in and watch the drama play out like a bad reality show…or a train wreck. But I need to stop before I give everything away and we cant have that can we? No, I'm not rockin at all! So I hope you all will enjoy our high school years at one of the most prestigious high schools in Tokyo, Japan; though our parents know it as Mt. Fuiji Academy, we know it as Plastic High.
