"So will you do it?"
"I don't know, I mean, I have college to go to."
"You're brilliant enough that you don't have to go."
"That doesn't matter to employers."
"Fine, I'll also pay for your intuition to go to any college in Neo Domino."
"Hold on, (muffled) MOM! He says he'll pay for my college….. Yeah dad I'd thought you'd say something like that….. I guess…. Yes it sounds pretty tempting…. *sigh*. Alright sir, you have a deal."
"I'm glad. Please report to the Milwaukee Airport next week around 7 AM. Someone will be waiting for you there."
"Alrighty, thank you Mr. Goodwin."
"Bye Ciel."
I stared at my phone strangely before turning to my mom who hugged me. I looked at her confused.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"My baby girl is leaving us," she said.
"I thought that's what you guys have been waiting for," was my reply.
"No, that's your father. You're only 18, are you sure you want to go all the way to Japan?"
"Yes mom, it's my life long dream, that and going to all those European countries I want to see. And remember, we're going to Greece and Rome together," my mother nodded. I promised her that, and I was going to keep that promise. So for the next week, I spent every day with friends and family. I feel guilty leaving my best friend, Riley, since we did almost everything together. She wanted to go to Japan as much as I did. My aunt Jamie was very upset and most of my family was sad. Next week came around and I was on my way to the airport with my parents, Riley. and oldest brother, who wanted to see his baby sister off.
"Please be careful," my mom repeated.
"Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to Las Vegas," my older brother sighed, for I had brought up something he did without anyone knowing. A woman walked over to my group and asked if I was Ciel Crescent. I replied with a yes, and she said that she worked for Rex Goodwin. I nodded, and hugged my family a good bye. When I turned to Riley I put a hand on her shoulder. "I shall miss you my dear Watson," she smiled.
"Yeah, I'll miss you too, Holmes," she couldn't help but hug me good bye. I patted her back and I finally departed from my crew. I followed the woman and was already thinking that I'm probably going on a private jet, seeing as my new employer is a rich man.
"Oh, by the way Miss Crescent-"
"Call me Ciel."
"My name is Mina Simington, I'm Mr. Goodwin's secretary," she said. Mina showed me out to the field and turned to me with a wide smile. That smile fell as she saw my unenthused face. She opened her mouth but I stopped her.
"I already deduced that you where taking me to a private jet, so there was no need for shock," she only downcast her gaze and nodded. I was ushered onto the jet and sat in the glorious comfy chair. After buckling in, I was ready to let my Ipod take me away to Imogen Heap paradise and la-la land. My few seconds of peace was destroyed by my stomach being anchored to the floor as we started the ascend upwards. Mina looked at me concerned as I crunched forward, hoping that by squeezing my stomach, I wouldn't feel it. After the jet leveled out, I just fell asleep. I purposely was changing my nights to days so that I wouldn't have too much of a jet lag. I suppose it all went smoothly, since I didn't wake up to having a heart attack. Although, I did wake up to the lady shaking my shoulder. We were about to land and my stomach was doing flips. I, again, doubled forward as we descended. When we actually landed I felt a sigh of relief escape me. We exited the jet and I was greeted by a man with gray hair. I just assume that he is my employer.
"Hello, Miss Ciel. It's nice to finally get to meet you. I'm Rex Goodwin, the Director of Neo Domino City," it was almost like a cold wind below between us. I'm guessing my subconscious knows something I don't, it doesn't like to share.
"It's nice to meet you too, sir," I replied rather monotonic.
"The sun wont rise for few more hours. I think you would like to see your new apartment," he said. I nodded, yes I would like to know where I would be crashing. I was ushered into a black car by Mina and was taken to a huge building. Understand this, I was born, raised, and lived in a small town for 18 years. Sure I've been to big cities like Chicago and Tampa, but this, was huge. Mina continued to push me to the large building and proceed to an elevator. There I stood, watching her press the second to last button. My stomach turned as the elevator started up. Mina asked how I was feeling, but I couldn't reply. After a gut-wrenching few minutes we arrived at the right floor. She handed me a key card and scanned one into a door. I found myself walking into a large and nicely decorated apartment.
"So this is yours," Mina said. I turned to her with a perplexed look.
"Couldn't you… ya know, get me one closer to the ground," she returned the look I gave her. Her phone rang and she quickly picked it up.
"I'm sorry, but I've got to go." Tomorrow a woman named Mandy will be here to pick you up for work, she said quickly while walking out the door. I waved nonchalantly before turning to the view of the city before me. It was beautiful… I guess. In the end I started to explore, finding a large bedroom with walk in closet and a large connected bathroom. I began to unpack my clothes and other belongings. Hooking up my laptop to the apartment's system was easy, now I could control the whole place with just my laptop. I was a little surprised by the amount of technology used in the apartment. Going through the kitchen was fun, because I found it full of food. By the time everything was done and I was crashed on the couch, it was mourning. Flipping through channels I was amazing by Japanese TV. Weird was all I could think. A knock came from my door and I grumpily got up. As I turned my knee cracked. I walked to the door and opened it, not really expecting much on the other side. What I found was two kids, identical twins, one boy, one girl, staring at me. My head tilted as I looked at them strangely.
"HI there downstairs neighbor!" The boy yelled and was hit by his sister.
"Sorry for my idiot brother," the poor girl said. I blinked some more before straightening out my thoughts with nods.
"Ah, yeah. Um… you live up stairs?"
"Yeah!" The boy exclaimed. I didn't know what to say. "I'm Leo," he said with a grin.
"And I'm Luna," the girl politely said. I wasn't much of a kid person, but these guys were cute… I guess.
"Well, my name is Ciel," I said, leaning against the door frame.
"Hey do you duel?" Leo asked. I stared at him for a moment then shook my head.
"No, not for eight years," his jaw dropped.
"What! Really?" He exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, but I still have some cards, for memories," that brought his hopes up.
"Oh! Can I see them?" I invited the twins in. I went into my room and picked up the box I kept them in. When I walked out I saw Leo, eagerly waiting for me and Luna telling him to calm down.
"Are your parents okay with you coming here?" I had to ask.
"Our parents are rarely home, so we really can do what ever we want," Luna said. Ah…lucky kids. I laid out the cards on the glass coffee table and watched at Leo gape at them. I caught Luna looking behind me, so I quickly glanced back to see nothing.
"This card is so cool! And this one!" Leo said while holding up Victory Dragon and Tyrant Dragon. I spent the next hour learning all about Leo's deck… and I chatted with Luna. The twins turned out to be cool. They left after 2 hours because they had to do their online classes.
"Go get em tigers," I said stupidly as I waved good bye to them from my door. Maybe this gig wasn't that bad of an idea.
