Foreword:Mixed Up! presents yet ANOTHER side story from the supposedly original one which takes place a year after the characters' graduation from high school, with the addition of a new character. This, I may say, is another way of the heads of delaying the entire process of making the original manga without any logical reason at all nonetheless it is still part of the Mixed Up! series, I think.
============================================================================================
SHINJU GIN
21 years old
Eldest son and oldest brother of Ao and Ai.
Graduate School student in T-university. He's finishing his masters in Engineering (major in Information and Communication)
He's a delinquent but, without much effort at all, he's surprisingly smart which is why Michiyo is so pissed off.
FUJIWARA MICHYO
19 years old
Youngest daughter and has an older brother
University student at T-university taking up a major in Interior Fashion and Design.
She stands out both in academics and sports but what pisses her off is that Gin, without any effort at all,
always
beats her in English Literature, a subject that they're both taking.
===========================================================================
"It's pretty cloudy out, I hope it doesn't rain." I whispered to myself as I looked out from my apartment's window. I'm Fujiwara Michiyo, or as others would call me, Mii-chan. I live by myself in my own apartment now and it's been almost a year since my high school graduation. After graduation, it was difficult to keep in touch with former friends especially Xianne, since he decided to migrate back to Korea and finish his studies there.
"Mii-chan!" as usual, Shizuka called out from the university's gate. We always attended class together in high school but now that we're university students, it's quite impossible because of our different schedules and even if we barely see each other on campus we still find the time to hang out on the weekends.
"Shizuka! You're really early again"
"No, I'm not." Shizuka chuckled as she accompanied me inside the campus. T-university's campus is really wide, it comprises of a lot of buildings and even a huge track n' field oval. A ton of students walking to and fro, coming in and out every single second. Even if I've been going here for almost a year now, it never ceases to impress me.
We finally arrived in the main building's lobby where Shizuka and I needed to split up, even though we take the same major she attends a different class at a different time.
"I'll just text you, okay?" Shizuka smiled and waved as she left
"Okay!" I nodded and decided to attend my class as well. I rummaged through my bag and and pulled out a small planner, "Let's see...hm. English Literature A-302. Okay then, I guess I need to get going"
As I walked along the corridors, there was this one person that caught my attention. A guy with messy blonde hair sitting...no sleeping on one of the chairs in front of the registrar's office. "How sloppy" I renounced softly. He was such an eye sore but not that I'd wake him up. He does look tired, so I walk pass by and ignore him and continue to my classroom.
As I entered, I immediately took the seat on the top row, the one nearest to the window. And because this class is an elective for everyone in the university I get to meet a lot of different people from all different majors. Not long after I arrived, finally our professor arrived as well. He rested his bag and other things on the table and glanced around, and asked in his deep very-professor-like voice, "Is everyone here"
Nobody seemed to know so there was no response until the door opened which caught everyone's attention. There I saw to my astonishment, that messy-haired blonde guy who was sleeping along the corridor just now. Why is he here? I never see around this class before.
"Ah, Mr. Shinju, I would have known" the professor greeted sarcastically and then continued shortly "It's quite a pleasure to have you join us this time"
"Sorry I'm late, prof" he scratched his head and entered the room and sits along the front row unbothered with all the stares from the students.
"I'm warning you Mr. Shi--" even before the professor could continue scolding him like some highschool teacher-student relationship, this guy abruptly interrupeds with quite an abraded tone, "I'm passing every single one of your special exams, right? The ones you consider 'even teachers with a Ph.D wouldn't get pass', right? I don't think you should say anything more, prof" he then grinned.
"Hmph" he turns away, "Alright let's continue where we left off..."
The professor wasn't able to say anything. I wonder how good this guy is...passing backbreaker exams like that. I don't think that's possible, not coming from someone who sleeps along the corridor with messy hair and all but our professor looked convinced...might it be true?
The 2-hour lecture finally ended and I have one more class to attend before lunch, I fixed my things and immediately got up and went down from my seat. Before I headed out the classroom, this guy, Shinju was still there, it seems he was waiting for everyone to leave, what a weirdo. Then at that moment, he suddenly turned his eyes my way and noticds that I was staring at him. He smiled and made a waving gesture toward me. My eyes fanned a bit, as I was a bit embarrassed myself, where did my manners go? Even if he looked sloppy, well atleast to me, it's rude to stare at people. I hurriedly out the room and into the other classroom for my next class without giving him a second glance.
"Okay, since we lack time today to finish your work, I will be giving you the rest of the day to finish that and I expect them by 5 pm today. Understood? Dismissed"
That was the end of my class, I had the rest of the day to finish my designs for a studio-type pad. "I can't believe I need five designs for this" I complained to myself and headed out the room. My phone rang instantly and I expected it to have a message from Shizuka, who by this time has ended her morning class as well.
"Miichan! Sorry I wouldn't be able to have lunch with you today (；￣Д￣）
My groupmates need to finish this project we're working on so I need to help them!
I wouldn't be able to have lunch anyway so please go without me!
I'm really sorry（ﾉ´д｀）I'll make it up to you next time, ne? Love, Shizuka~（ ＾＾）人（＾＾ ）"
"Hm. I guess things like this can't be helped"
I headed over to the cafeteria to get myself something to drink first before heading to somewhere quiet to finish my designs. As I was about to exit the cafeteria, I see this Shinju guy again, not sleeping but flirting? I may be wrong but he seems to be enjoying the company of those girls. It's so annoying that I couldn't stand the sight of it, so I rush to the library to finish my work.
"Hm. I think this should do it. Alright! two more designs to go" I thought to myself with contentment, I've been here for almost 2 hours now I've finally made progress and good thing I'm not having an art block today. I took out another page from my sketchpad so I could start on my other design but then without looking away from my table, I felt as if someone were approaching me, and all of a sudden this person says
