Alright, my first part/chapter whatever you wish to call it sucks. I'll be straightforward with you. This was before I had gotten more detailed and less.. jumpy with my writing. It's a bit unrealistic, but it's important. I will let you know, I don't do those lovely stories where the OC and the guy she ends up with get together first. Does not happen. I have a plot formed for this and have an outline for a good first.. eh, maybe the first tenth of the story? I know some of the things I want to happen, and I know how I want them to happen; the tricky part is figuring out when they will happen.
Let me clear this with you: I have schoolwork to do, and I am in Marching Band ((FYI: I play the flute.)) We have practice every single day for two and a half ours after school, except on Wednesdays and Fridays; then, we only have it for one hour and a half. My first game is on August 29th; do not expect me to update regularly after that point. I will have Band Practice after school every day, except Wednesdays, but then I will be going to a friend's church those nights. On Fridays I will have football games to go to. That leaves Saturday and Sunday to get any writing in; very limited amount of time means not so much writing is done quickly.
I promised you a full summary, didn't I? Let's see how well I can do it on the spot:
Trinity Mimikotsu is your average, smart high school student; well, at least that's how she appears until she loses the one last thing dear to her: her brother Shonrou. She lost her parents in a car crash and recieved a large sum of money; they didn't keep their money in a bank. Rather, they left it in the house for their kids to find with clues they'd written on their "will," which was actually just a piece of notebook paper they'd wedged in between two of Trinity's books. That was how the underage girl and her brother lived. They moved to Japan, only letting the school board know they were leaving. They had relatives in Japan, a family of four, but that hadn't been their reason for moving there; they were both smart for their age and had always wanted to be more challenged. To be completely honest, they didn't like their relatives, though they only really knew three of them.
Trinity found out second-hand that her brother died, from her relatives: the Wheelers. She wasn't really given a choice but moved in with her last living relatives. It was a few weeks later, the day before school started, that she met Yugi Moto. It was that night she learned of how Joey disliked a male they referred to as "Kaiba." She never learned much about him, no matter how many times she asked, and it annoyed her to a certain point. Trinity quickly found herself crushing on Yugi, and her crush only got worse and worse as time went along.
The first time she spoke to Seto Kaiba was one of the days at swim practice. He had called her friend Raven's phone, and she had answered it. Words were traded, and soon she was being told they were going to be baby-sitting some little boy, whom Raven called Mokuba. Not really too happy about it, Trinity merely went along with it. After she met Mokuba, she immediately took to him because he reminded her a lot like her brother Shonrou. After Trinity actually met Seto Kaiba, she decided she was going to learn as much about him as she could, learn his life book, so she could rub it in his face and hate him completely. But fate was against her in more than one way and wasn't willing to let her despise Seto Kaiba peacefully.
Through a lot of twists and turns, bonds started forming with people she never knew she'd be able to like at all; and it didn't help that Mokuba was there to make all of the things even more difficult for her, eventually gaining Raven's help as he convinced her to see his side. If Trinity thought her life was rocky already, those rocks were about to become jagged and slippery.
Yeah... it pretty much sucks. I like the short summary better, but I wanted to give you a slight bit of background information, which will be revealed later, seeing as I don't want people asking so many questions. Please, please, please bear through this with me and keep the flaming down to critiques or things I might need to change; though I try to read thoroughly and fix the mistakes, they do happen. Don't gripe about the lengths of chapters, either, if you don't mind.. They'll be longer as soon as my foundation for this story is completely laid out. Thanks, guys. You may now if you actually took the time to read all this get onto reading the story.
I yanked my headphones out of my ears. The music had been blasting, and I had been shocked at first. I blew some of the shoulder-length brown hair out of my emerald green eyes and glared at the school uniform that was waiting patiently for me to put it on.
"TRIIIIIIINITTTTTTTY, there's someone at the dooooooooooor for yoooooooooooou!" I heard the annoying voice of my little brother yell. I growled and stood up, immediately grabbing a brush and yanking it through my hair. I pulled on my school uniform and pulled my hair up into a ponytail allowing two strands of hair to hang on each side of my face. I put on my makeup before walking downstairs and putting on a fake smile before answering the door. A balding man with brown hair, grey eyes, and tan chubby skin was standing there in a black form. He looked to be about fifty.
"Yes?" I asked politely. The man cleared his throat.
"Um, I asked the boy to get the parent or guardian..." the man answered, clearing his throat slightly yet again.
"Our parents and only relatives are dead," I lied. I only dreamed my aunt, uncle, and cousin were dead because they never cared to contact my family. They didn't want their kids to interact with me. "So, I'm the guardian..."
"You aren't but-" the man started.
"Sir, I don't think it matters how old I am. Besides, I am older than I look. You see that car in the driveway?" I motioned to the blue convertible on the freshly paved concrete. The man glanced at it and nodded. "It's mine. I've been driving it for about three months. Now, who are you and what do you need?" I was seriously pissed about this man's accusations.
"Ahem, I'm Principal Shanoku; your brother Shonrou Mimikotsu is going to be attending my school, and I always come to pick up the new students for their first few months of school. So, if you would please tell him to come out here when he finishes breakfast, I would be grateful..." Principal Shanoku nodded.
"Of course Shanoku-san, I will send him right out. Have a good day," I gave him a sickeningly sweet yet fake grin.
"Arigatou, Mimikotsu-chan," Shanoku nodded and allowed me to slam the door in his face.
"Well, Shonrou, I guess the principal of your school is taking you to school for a good chunk of weeks. Finish your orange juice, go upstairs and brush your teeth, then go outside and get into that car, okay?" I asked him. He nodded, his shaggy brown hair's bangs in front of his blue eyes. I smiled at him.
"Where're you going?" he asked, swallowing a chunk of pancake.
"My school is just right down the road. I'm going to walk to it... Yippee for me, huh? I'm so close to my school..." I rolled my eyes, and my brother laughed. I grinned, ruffled his hair, and walked out the door, but not before saying, "I love ya!"
"Love ya, too!" he grinned.
My day at school was interrupted during the middle. I was already starting to get pissed at a group of popular girls that kept stalking me. They wanted me to join their group because apparently I had the "looks, brains, and walk" of theirs that they've been looking for. "Alright, I'll join your little posse if you'll shut up!" I hissed.
"Trinity Mimikotsu, go to the principal's office," the teacher suddenly announced. Everyone blinked at me as I stood up. "Take your stuff with you, please..." She sounded kind of distressed. Her gray hair had suddenly become disheveled, her eyes a sudden cloudy gray.
I picked up my bag and blinked as the three girls that I was now in the "posse" of hugged me. "It's tradition," the leader replied. She had red eyes, red hair, a lovely tan, and the most beautiful lips I'd ever seen. The girl next to her was extremely smart, had brown hair, silver eyes, and a nice tan, too. The girl next to her had blonde hair and purple eyes with porcelain-colored skin. I had yet to learn their names, even though I had every class with them. I nodded, understanding, and walked out of the room.
When I made my way through the labyrinth they called the school's hallways, I entered the room behind the door labeled "Principal's Office." I waited patiently as it closed with a soft click and gasped when I saw four people in the room, only three of whom I knew. One was around my age: blonde hair, chocolate brown eyes, pale skin, and a school uniform accentuated him. There was a girl possibly two years younger than I; she had waist-length, red hair, red eyes, and palish-tan skin and wore a pair of blue jeans, a pink shirt, and a white jacket. A woman with red hair, brown eyes, and a pink secretary uniform on was sitting down. A man with blonde hair and red eyes stood as well, leaning against the wall, a brown suit on. They all turned to look at me as I entered. I narrowed my eyes at the man and woman in the room. "What're you doing here?" I growled vehemently. "Are you finally allowing Joey to coerce with me?"
"Hey, watch yer tone!" the blonde teen exclaimed. "You don't talk to yer aunt and uncle that way!"
"You're forgetting that your family ignored my parents' cries of help after that car crash and didn't even try to help me and my brother out, Joseph. Watch your tone!" I hissed vehemently.
"You haven't met Serenity, have you?" the man asked, looking at me. I shook my head, looking at the red-haired girl.
"Serenity, I'm Trinity, your cousin you've probably never heard of..." I introduced myself, holding out my hand. Serenity took it, shaking her head to say she didn't know of me.
"If you would stop being so curt with us, there's something you need to know..." the woman, my aunt, sighed. I blinked and looked at her. My aunt sighed, worry in her eyes. "Now, don't go into a tantrum or anything, but Shonrou..." she trailed off.
"What about my brother?!" I asked, frightened. 'Shonrou, please be okay...' I thought to myself.
"Trinity, h-he.. a kid at his school shot him..." my uncle finished off.
"N-no... No..." I mumbled, weeping immediately. "Why Shonrou?!" I screamed out. "No..." I fell to my knees on the ground, not wanting to get up. I felt someone hug me and start rocking me back and forth, but I simply kept crying, using their shoulder for support...
