A/N: DID I REALLY FORGET TO FINISH THIS?!

Never Thought I'd Feel This Way: Chapter 1

"Honey, you know your father and I still love each-" Began my mother, trying to make everything seem like it was okay. Unlike my father, who was always the blunt one.

"No, we don't." My father interrupted in his matter of fact way.

"Yes you're right, we don't. But don't be a bastard about it, for the sake of my child." They've been going back and forth like this ever since they told me they were getting a divorce, and my mom was headed off to America to marry some man she met.

"YOUR child?! Who's leaving her behind on some spontaneous trip to America with some douchebag she barely knows?!"

"I believe Richard and I have some packing to do." Mother said as she stood up walked to the front door. I wanted to beg for her to stay, but I knew she had her mind made up, and I had too much pride to do anything like that for a mother that doesn't even care about me. Father and I followed her to the front door to watch her leave. It's kind of unbelievable that she's actually doing this, without even bothering to cry, or care about how I feel. She's been raising me for 15 years,
kissed my scraped knees, told me not to care what others think. Did all of that mean nothing to her? "My dear Natsuki, I hope you do not follow in your worthless father's footsteps. With that, I bid you farewell." Without even so much as a hug, she was gone. Failing to hold back the tears, I ran up the stairs to my room. She's gone. And she's probably never coming back.

TWO WEEKS LATER

"Dad! Wait, why're you doing this?! Mom leaving me was enough, I don't need you abandoning me too!" I yelled angrily at him as he carried two suitcases full of my belongings down the stairs.

"I'm sorry, hon-"

"DON'T call me that."

"Natsuki.. I've been trying my best, I really have. But without your mother, I can't raise you by myself, knowing that a girl's school will have women, equipped to deal with womanly problems. I just can't do any of that, your mom used to do all that. I'm sorry, I love you. This is why I'm doing this, it's the best thing for you right now."

"Whatever. Be that way. Just a warning, DAD." I scoffed when I spoke the name he didn't deserve. "Don't ever expect to see me again."

I walked out the door with tears in my eyes and two suitcases in my hands. Dad thought he was doing the best thing, but that didn't stop my pride from taking over. I couldn't run back to him, or call him everyday begging him to take me back. That'd be pathetic. Grabbing my bags, I got in the cab, which immediately started driving away from the house. I couldn't help but sneak a peek at the house I would most likely ever see again.

"We usualy don't accept girls as old as you. Most of the girls here were enrolled when they were young, so our rules are hammered into their brains, ya know?" The headmistress of the Garderobe academy chuckled. She was pretty old, probably about mid fifties or something. And for some reason I didn't like her.

"Well, then why did you? Did my "dad" give you a lot of money or something?"

"Young lady, I personally believe that no child should be turned away. Especially now, seeing how much of a... troubled girl you are." She scoffed as she looked me up and down for emphasis. THIS is why I didn't like her.

"Listen lady, I honestly couldn't care less what you think of me. So what, I don't run around in skirts and dresses like most girls do. I'm comfortable in some nice basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I don't give a shit about appearances,
because I don't wanna be an old hag like you when I get older."

At my statement, she let out an audible gasp, covering her mouth with her hand dramatically.

"Well, I never! Since you don't seem to want to cooperate with me, young lady,
I'll get the president of the student council to explain everything to you. I hope she can put up with your bad behavior, because I sure can't!"

Saying that, the headmistress (she never told me her name, the bitter cow)
stormed out of the room, mumbling incomprehensible things on the way. From inside her office, I could hear her scream at her assistant to get the student council president from her dorm room. I hope the president isn't as much of a prude as she is, or else I'm gonna really have some problems with the management of this prison. My thoughts were interrupted as the door to the headmistress' office opened quietly. An absolutely beautiful face poked in from outside, looking curious.

"I assume you are Miss Natsuki Kuga?" She asked as she opened the door all the and made her way inside. There was a strange thing about her. It seemed like she was teasing me, either that or she was always this amused.

"Yeah." As you can see I'm not really in the mood for talking, even to gorgeous brunettes with the most captivating eyes I've ever-

Okay! No fantasizing yet, you've only been here for an hour, there's plenty of time for that later!

"Okay then, Nat-su-ki. My name is Shizuru Fujino, and I'm the president of the student council. I'm assuming that I'll have to be the one showing you the ropes,
since you seem to have made Adelaide so angry."

At first I thought she was going to scold me or something, but then she started giggling with a hand over her mouth.

"She kept calling you an evil brat. I don't think you look like an evil brat,
Nat-su-ki. You are a cute brat." The last part was said with a twinkle in her eye; she was definitely teasing me. C'mon Natsuki, don't blush!

"Can you just explain all the classes and stuff already so I can leave?" I tried to make my tone as petulant as possible, so maybe she'd think twice about trying to make THE Natsuki Kuga blush!

"Of course, cutie." She winked. Crap, I know she can tell I'm blushing, it's not like I'm used to this! "You'll have the five core classes, which is all taught to you in the same classroom with the same teacher. There are two different teachers for each year of students, so it won't be so crowded in the classrooms. You'll either have Mrs. Johnson, or Mr. O'Connell. I hope you get Mrs. Johnson this year, that's the teacher I have, and everyone prefers her over Mr. O'Connell. Do you need anything else explained, or shall I show you your new room?"

Shizuru could be so many things at once. Sweet, innocent, flirtatious,
informative, and most of all, sexy. She doesn't even have to try to be considered sexy, which is what makes her so sexy. Do you understand my logic?

"U-uh, yeah. Just show me my room."

"Okay, your stuff has already been delivered there so it will be waiting for you.
Follow me."
