When Opposites Attract - Chapter 1
Alyjaana Paulson
As the loud school bell rang, indicating that class was starting, the middle school students rushed to get to their next class. Kiiran Sakura, a 14 year old female student, bumped into one of the taller kids and fell to the ground. She got up and waited for the hallways to clear so she could get back up and walk to the classroom without running to anyone else.
When Kiiran looked down there was a strange, white bird pecking at her feet. She petted the bird's soft feathers then suddenly remembered that class had already started. "Bye-bye birdie," she giggled as she ran off.
She quietly opened the door to Room 238 and walked around the back of the room to get to her seat. Unfortunately for her, the teacher caught her and suddenly asked a question.
"Ms. Sakura, what are the 4 questions all inventors have to ask before making a product to sell?"
"U-um... How much is needed to be made… Who the product is for... And... Um..," she hesitantly answered.
"What resources are needed, and how will the product be distributed. If you don't know what you're supposed to, what makes you think you can come to my class late? Don't let this happen again."
"Y-yes Mr. Kaozaka." Kiiran quietly sat down in her seat, humiliated. Occasionally, she looked out the window, ignoring 's lecture about our economy and people who waste their money. Kiiran saw the same bird from before class outside the window every time she looked. She started to wonder if she had only imagined the bird from before. After all, how would such a stunning and elegant creature get inside the school, and survive the mob of violent yelling kids?
The last bell of the school day rang, and all of the kids once again flooded the hallway.
The bird flew off, and Kiiran remained in her seat, waiting for the hallways to clear again. After about 5 minutes, the pondering girl packed her bag and walked down the empty hallway. She slowly made her way to the outside of the school and looked up into the blinding sun. Kiiran let out a long sigh and started walking down the old cracked concrete to go home.
"I'm home," yelled Kiiran as she opened the familiar door of her house and walked inside. She noticed there was no answer and walked into the kitchen to get a drink when she saw a note on the dining table.
"I'll be working late tonight. I'll return around 7 o'clock. I left $20 in the top drawer of my dresser, so you can order pizza or something for dinner. Be careful. – From: Big Brother"
Kiiran went into her brother's room to get the money and order pizza for herself. She took the money from the worn-out wooden dresser and went into her room to grab her phone. She started to dial the number for the pizzeria when she saw a bright light come from outside. She opened the window, and what seemed to be a firefly flew into to the dark room and filled it with light. A masculine figure with shining wings of pure white appeared before Kiiran. The golden light of the setting sun shone perfectly on the feathers of the angel.
"Yin and Yang... Demon and Angel… You, with the face resembling that of a goddess… Do you wish to know of your forgotten past?"
