Dreams are nice, non?

Today, I dreamed of a handsome man resting his head against my soft stomach, purring like a little kitten. It was rather strange, but I didn't mind. No, I laid back, relaxed and I was content. How nice it would be if I could spend my days like this…

I opened my eyes lazily, and glanced down at my stomach. My beloved orange tabby, Ciel, fell asleep on me, like she does every day. I chuckled to myself and carefully moved the cat onto my bed, trying not to wake her up. Grabbing my silky blue robe from the floor, I covered my bare skin before leaving the room.

On my way down to the kitchen, I noted the various colors and patterns on the walls and floors of my new house. My aunt was in the kitchen, cooking toast (French, of course).

"Bonjour, Océane," Aunt Agatha greeted me with a smile.

I noted that she was wearing one of her silly costumes again with a mental laugh.

"Bonjour, ma tante," I responded automatically.

Auntie and I had been living together for about two weeks now. To say that I didn't miss my parents was a lie, but my aunt and I were content living together. After getting a glass of orange juice, I sat down at the kitchen table. Two plates were already set out along with silverware.

"So, ma nièce, are you ready to start school today?" Auntie asked as she placed slices of toast on my plate.

"Sure, I guess," I replied between bites of my toast, "I suppose it won't be too terrible."

Although I didn't really want to move.

A while back ago, one of my classmates had committed suicide because of bullying. While I was not a victim of those kinds of circumstances, my parents, Gérard and Anastasie, did not want me around bullies, so they had taken me out of school. Unfortunately, there were no other schools close to our house, and my parents did not want to leave our hometown.

My aunt Agatha, however, lived close to a school that she said was nice (with no instances of suicide). So to keep my parents happy, I moved in with my aunt. Today, I was to begin my attendance at Sweet Amoris High.

I put my plate and cup into the sink and headed back upstairs. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and washed my face before going into my room to change. Coaxing Ciel to get off of my bed, I fixed my sheets back into their original, neat position. I then turned to my closet and pulled out my outfit—a taupe knit dress, salmon bolero sweater, silver buckle boots, and salmon leg warmers. I brushed out my caramel brown hair and pulled it up into a bun, leaving my bangs out. No need for makeup, I mused, I'm already gorgeous enough. I smirked at my reflection, pushing the beauty mark beside my lips upward.

"Océane," Auntie called from downstairs, "are you ready to leave?"

I replied with a 'yes' and turned back to the mirror with a smile. Grabbing a purse to put my things in, I put a few of my basic necessities inside of it and then left my room.


Within twenty minutes, Auntie pulled up in front of a large building. I gazed at the students walking up into the building with happiness in my teal eyes. Suddenly, I felt a little too eager to meet my new peers.Oh, this will be absolutely merveilleux! My future friends! And maybe even a lover!

After telling my aunt goodbye, I left her car and stood still for a moment as she drove off. Get ready, Sweet Amoris. You're fabulous new student has arrived! With that thought, I walked confidently into my new school.

Only a few moments after I entered a hallway, I was greeted by an elderly woman in a pink suit.

"Hello, welcome to Sweet Amoris High School. I'm Principal Shermansky and I hope you'll feel at home quickly here in your new school."

"Bonjour, Principal Shermansky! I am Océane Chauvette." I introduced myself politely.

"Well, Miss Chauvette, I would suggest that you go see Nathaniel, the student body president. He'll make sure your registration is complete."

She gestured to a door on my right.

With a nod and one of my charming smiles, I said,

"Okay, I will. Merci."

Then I turned on the heel of my silver boots and strolled into the student council room. Upon entry, I saw a blonde boy leaning over a stack of papers. He turned to me once he realized I was there. Oh, I gasped mentally as I saw his face, que beau garçon!

"Bonjour," I said, "I'm looking for the student body president."

"Hello, I'm Nathaniel. Do you need something?"

He gave a sweet smile, unintentionally make me melt.

"The principal asked me to come and see you about my enrollment form."

"Oh, you're the new student," Nathaniel said, "sure, I'll take a look."

He turned around and shuffled through his papers before coming to me.

"Well… It looks like there are some things missing here. Let's see… You still need a photo for your ID and twenty-five dollars for the enrollment fee."

My eyebrows went up in confusion as he continued,

"And the most important thing, you seem to have forgotten to hand in one of these forms, the one with a guardian's signature. You need to take that in too."

Bon seigneur! Why didn't Auntie do this when I was transferred?!

"Alright. It appears my aunt forgot to do these things before I came here. She's a little out of it."

He offered a sympathetic smile.

"Just in case, I'll make sure your form didn't get put in another file. Go take care of your photo and money for the enrollment fee."

I nodded and turned to leave, off to retrieve the rest of my registration items.


After visiting the dollar store and swinging by the house again, I returned to the school and went back into the student council room. Ready to officially finish my enrollment, I gave Nathaniel the rest of my registration items.

I left the room and went exploring. I walked inside of a random classroom and saw a familiar face.

"Hey Océane, how's it going?"

"Kentin," I smiled and walked over to the small boy that I stood over by three inches.

I leaned down and kissed both of his cheeks before hugging him.

"I've missed you so, mon ami," I murmured.

"I-I missed you too, Océ," He said, his cheeks warming up, "I hope you don't mind, but I, uh, moved here so I could be with you again."

"That's great. Now I won't be so lonely here. You truly are a good friend, Kentin—so considerate."

My compliments only made his cheeks burn brighter.

"I hope the kids in my class are nice," He said, a little absentmindedly.

I reached forward and ruffled his hair affectionately, muttering an agreement to his statement. A school bell rang, and luckily, Ken and I found the perfect spot to sit together. We had a few minutes to talk before the teacher and our new classmates came in.
