Chapter 1 - Where To Begin

"Did you guys hear?" It seemed as if in a small place such as the Black Order High School, that rumors spread like a wild fire. In a place such as this, everyone is fake as it can get and you really can't trust anyone.

And she hated this.

"Hear what?"

"Tyki Mikk was just reported dead, there's no proof yet."

"Man, and I didn't even get to meet him yet, he's so hot."

At a school like this, all the people were idiots. It seemed like 99% of there people weren't born with brains.

Mina Kimura slammed her hand on her desk. The two gossiping girls behind her jumped. Mina turned around and gave them a glare,"You guys are idiots."

Of course they didn't say anything back because they knew who she was. Everyone knew who she was. That fact alone... makes her want to get the hell out of this school as soon as possible.

Tyki Mikk was some hot singer that the girls at this school and all around Japan seem to love so much, the irony of this is, most of these people don't even know who he is... his personality. Mina thought it stupid that people would fall for people because of their looks and not their personality. What a disgusting generation this is.

As much as she wanted just to bad mouth Tyki Mikk to get these girls to shut the hell up, she knew she couldn't, because for as long as she could remember, she was in love with her best friend.

Mina Kimura knew just how scandalous Tyki was, to what extent... she wasn't sure. But that was a side of him that she just didn't believe in. She believed that she knew the real side of Tyki Mikk. The real him.

"Mina, earth to Mina, are you there?" a face appeared in front of hers and pulled her out of her thoughts as school was finally over.

"Hi, Lenalee," the beautiful dazed girl greeted.

"Did you hear the rumor to, Mina? It's so sad!" Well... Lenalee was always into the rumors like everyone else at this school, but there was always something about her that made her different from everyone else. Her gossiping didn't make Mina mad, she was the only exception.

"Yeah, it is sad," she answered with a little too much sarcasm. Lenalee wasn't aware of her relationship with Tyki Mikk, no one except for her family and some significant others. People always seemed to ask her opinion on everything that concerned Tyki. She didn't quite understand why. Perhaps it's because she's the only person who doesn't seem to care. It had been four years since she has seen Tyki, so when this news reached her she almost had a heart attack, but her parents told her that he was okay. Thanks to them contacting his family.

"Oh, come on, Mina, why are you so apathetic towards him? He's like every girls dream," Lenalee said a little too dreamily.

"Uhm... yeah..." she frowned.

"Hey, no frowning allowed!" Lenalee said as she tried to form a smile on Mina's face with her fingers. Lenalee had this strange problem with her frowning. She said that Mina was too pretty to be frowning. True, Mina was prettier than the average girl and could look stunning with out even trying. She hardly ever wore make up because she was naturally beautiful without it, but she was never a materialistic person or a person to care about something such as looks. Thus, without knowing it, she sometimes just looked unpresentable.

"Hey, Lenalee, I'll catch you later, I think I'm going to go home and catch some sleep, I'm so tired," she lied as she walked away. She wasn't very social, she preferred not to have a lot of friends but her family status changed that. One could even say that the way she portrays herself at school is completely different to how she portrays herself in the real world.

Mina's house was probably only fifteen minutes away from the school walking. Well, at least this house was. Mina's family was rich, her parents were famous models and perhaps that's where she got her "good" looks from. Her parents had been super disappointed in her when she told them she wouldn't be following in their footsteps. That doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy modelling it just means she stopped liking it.

Mina pulled her house keys about of her bag and unlocked the door. This house was one of the rather uglier houses that they owned, so to say.

"Hi Mom, Dad!" she called out as she entered.

"Welcome home honey!" her mom came out from the kitchen to hug her. She couldn't lie, she was a mommy's and daddy's girl. Despite her taking her own path in life, her parents loved her dearly and she loved them dearly to.

"Mina, please do change out of that school uniform and fix your hair, you look hideous," Ms. Kimura sighed. Although they loved her, both her mom and dad were terribly blunt but she's got use to it. "Oh by the way, I'm making sushi, so hurry up and change so you can help me."

"Okay," Mina answered as she ran into her room and threw open her closet doors. She pulled out a plain blue summer dress and put it on. She grabbed her hair brush and gently brushed out her long black hair. She was prepared to walk back out to the kitchen when her phone vibrated.

She read the text.

"Are you busy? Let's catch a movie.

- Allen and Lavi"

They were probably hanging out right now but she was busy.

"Can't, gotta help mom." She wrote back quickly.

In a few seconds they wrote back.

"Such a good girl, alright Mi, maybe another time. Oh by the way, did you hear about Tyki?"

"Yeah, but he's okay." I wrote back.

"Is he really? Damnit."

"Guys, that's not nice! Well, talk to you later," she replied before throwing her phone on her bed.

Allen and Lavi were two of her closest friends. They were childhood friends and understood her so well. They were so protective of her and it made her really grateful because back in preschool people use to bully her because she had been a slow learner, like dreadfully slow.

Allen was an orphan from a very young age and at one point in time, he was taken in by Lavi's family which made them very close. Lavi was born into a really rich business family. His parents were geniuses in the business world and were just downright amazing. Lavi inherited their intelligence and plans to take over the company one day in the future. Just as a little side note, Mina thought they were both... very... very... attractive. On the downside though, Allen and Lavi had a strained relationship with Tyki. Mina has known Tyki as long as she's known Allen and Lavi but they hadn't met Tyki till later on. The moment they had met though, they just downright hated each other, but they were civil... ish.

Mina exited her room and went to help her mother in the kitchen. Half way through cutting the fish, the doorbell rung and Mina dropped the knife and went to open it. She wasn't quite expecting to see who she did she.

"No offense or anything, but shouldn't you be dead right now?" she smiled.

Hope you guys like it! Bye! R&R
