"Are you sure you want to do this, Clarissa?" asked Suzaku.
"I'm sure," I said "you asked me that like 8 million times. I want to do this."
"Alright," he said. Suzaku has been taken care of me ever since my parents died. He's my cousin. Although, my family was royalty. My father was a lord and my mother was the step sister of Suzaku's father. So, I'm not technically Japanese. The bell rang and we hurried to class. I heard a lot of people whispering.
"Everyone," Suzaku said "this is my cousin, Clarissa. She'll be going to school here now."
"Um, hi everyone," I said. We both sat down. Suddenly, some of Suzaku's friends came.
"So your the cousin Suzaku's been talking about," Rivalz said.
"Yeah," I said "you must be Rivalz. Suzaku told me a lot of things about you."
"Well, that's not suprising," said Milly "I'm Milly Ashford. President of the Student Council."
"And I'm Shirley," she said "and this is Nina." She pointed at Nina.
"Nice to meet you," I said.
"Well," Milly said "since you're new here, I should tell you that all students must participate in at least one school club. So would you like to join Student Council?"
"Um, ok," I said.
"Perfect!" yelled Shirley "we meet every day after class.
"Ok," I said. Then, a guy came in.
"Hey, guys," he said "sorry I'm late." I turned around to see who he was. I froze and stood up.
"Lelouch," I said. He froze.
"Clarissa," he said. The bell rang and I ran out of class.
"Clarissa!" yelled Suzaku. I continued to run. I ran to a room with a piano in it.
"Lelouch is..." I started crying. I went to the piano. I remembered the song that my mom and dad use to sing to me and I started to play it.
The Gift: Jim Brickman
Clarissa:
Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on
Like a fairy tale come true
Sitting by the fire we made
You're the answer when I pray
I will find someone
And baby I found you
Chorus:
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart
From being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
I was to upset to continue...
