Chapter one

"Caitlyn! Come unpack your room!" My mother yelled. My mom, a widow since my father died in a car accident when I was five years old. She started to right her books shortly after his death as a way to work away her sorrow. My aunt found one of her books as she was watching me one day. She sent it to a publisher and they liked it. Mom was the talk of the town for a few months. We moved to Animilia city hoping to get some peace and quiet, but she was famous there too. We moved to Tokyo for Alice's modeling career and here we are in Tokyo. I'm fourteen years old, have lived three different countries and know four different languages.

Grudgingly I ran into the house to unpack the mess that was to be my room. In my room I had a full size mahogany bed with a canopy, and red satin sheets, a mahogany dresser, nightstand, vanity, and desk and a kitty condo for my beloved cat, Silver.

When I was done, I went to the bathroom that was closest to my room, to take a thirty minute bath. I got out about ten minutes after Alice started to bang on the door. I went to my room in order to get ready for bed and put on my favorite pajamas, red silk kitty pajamas. I turned on my radio and climbed into bed. I soon drifted into a dream filled slumber to the classical music that was playing.

I looked around and found myself in a pink mist like substance. I saw a black object. It came up to me and it looked like a black panther and lunged at me. Its body was in gulfed by mine

I jumped up at the sound of my alarm clock. I looked around me and noticed I was back in my own room.

"What was that?" I gasped for air.

Eventually, I got up and got ready for my new school. Last night my mom told me that my new school had a uniform just like the school in Animilia. The uniform was a grey outfit with a white undershirt.

Great I look like a freaking idiot in it I thought bitterly. I looked in the mirror when I was finally forced into by my mom. Alice strolled out of her room and of course looked just as good as she does in the magazines that she models for. I tried to hold back the jealousy that was nipping at my skin like it was trying to chew through me.

The only things that Alice and I have in common are our eyes and our hair color. Our father gave her height and her streamlined body figure. Our mom gave me an average height and a slightly heavier build the kind for a sport like running or skating, I'm still streamlined but not the kind for swimming like Alice and Leona. Leona was the only one who got dads brown hair, while Alice and I got moms blonde hair. Dad had green eyes and our mom had brown. I'm the only one who got green eyes.

"Mom can you give me a ride to school today?" I asked as I turned my back away from Alice.

"Why not get Alice to do it? I have to take Leona to school across town; if you come with me you'll be late! So just go with her," she said from some part of the house.

My attempt to get away from her came to an immediate halt. Now I have to ride to school with "Miss-model" here.

"Hey, Alice, mom said you had to give me a ride to school with you!"

"Okay just don't you dare make me late!" she yelled from the bathroom, obliviously doing her make-up. I ran to my bedroom to get my things and went over a check list to see if I missed anything. Twenty minutes later Alice called me down to the entryway to leave. I ran down to the door and was closing it when I felt like I was being watched. I turned around and say something that I never expected to see. The cat from my dream but way smaller. The cat looked at me like it knew who I was and turned around and stalked off into the bushes. I stood there for a few more seconds until Alice snapped me out of my thoughts by honking her horn. I high-tailed it to the car and climbed into the 911 turbo Porsche.

The ride was quiet for the most part, except for Alice's constant babbling on her new Blackberry phone. I just watched out the window at the scenery and watched all the odd cars go past me. I couldn't disagree that it wasn't beautiful outside, one of the many pluses to living in Tokyo.

Wow! What are these people, the cherry blossoms? I mean one is fine, but all of these?

"Just get over it will you? You're acting like a child, why don't you just mature already?", "Miss Prep" said to whoever was on the other end of the line before ending the call.

"Come on. Let's go find the office. Hey, do you think this school has a coffee shop in it?" she asks for no apparent reason.

When I don't answer she tries again, typical.

"Hey! Did you hear me? I asked if you thought this school has a coffee shop in it!"

Alice turns around and finds that I don't even hear her.

"Hey what are you staring at? I want to see!" is her natural response.

"I'm staring at a guy who is apparently on the soccer team! You have a problem with it?"

All of a sudden I got the feeling that we had some company. I whipped around and saw the cat again!

Is that cat fallowing me? It seems like it was panicking?

I started to walk towards it and froze when it spied Alice, who by this point had also whipped around and saw the cat.

"What is up with that cat it is scared of us? I wonder why?" she asked.

We both turned around when we heard shouting. Apparently the boy had scored a goal while we were hypnotized. Two of the boys ran up to him and they started to talk. All of a sudden they looked at me and Alice and me. I still felt that pull but it was coming from the black haired boy this time. He had deep brown eyes and a perfect face. They turned around but turned back towards us and the two friends looked at Alice and I expected the black haired boy to look at her too, but he was looking at me with some kind of recognition in his eyes.

Wow someone isn't gazing at Alice for once. SHOCKER!

"Caitlyn lets go already, you can admire your first fan later. That is unless you want to be late?" she sneered at me. I stared at the back of her head that could kill the devil himself.

"Okay I'm coming," I said. "Why don't you go jump off a bridge?" I muttered under my breath. All the while I felt the black-haired boys gaze never leave me

"Hey Alice do you even know where the office is?" She nodded in response to my question.

"Okay where is it?" I played the game of twenty Q just to get on her nerves.

"It's over there smart one." she points to a door with the words principle office written on it.

"Oh. I found it."

"Nice one blonde. Now that you are so smart when is my next photo shoot?" She had to ask the question that I didn't know.

"Umm…next week?" why would I care when her next shoot is? I'm not her stupid agent.

"Wrong. Its tomorrow so you either walk home or you can get a lift with mom who will be coming out of the store when the school day is over. I'll be getting an early dismissal."

By the time she'd explained all of this we had entered the office and it was one of my least favorite colors, green. And not the good earthy green, the minty dentist or doctor type green. The lady at the reception desk was black haired and had freckles, she had brown eyes, and she was like the fiftieth person I had seen with brown eyes.

"Excuse us but, we are Alice and Caitlyn Night. We are here to pick up our schedules. We have just moved here from Animilia City if that helps you find them."

"Oh! You two are the famous authors kids aren't you? I have your schedule right here. Alice you class is the first class on the fourth floor. Caitlyn yours is the eleventh class on the second floor. Do you two need help finding your classes or not?" the secretary was overly polite.

"I think I can manage on my own." Alice stated, which answered my question for me.

"I could use some help finding my classes. I am kind of a ditz at this kind of thing."

Alice sent me a glare saying, saying "don't do it and I won't kill you", kind of look. I just smirked back.

"Okay someone from your classes will be here momentarily. Please enjoy your time here at Tokyo high."

With that said she looked back at her desk and went back to the papers.

A few minutes later two shadows appear outside the window. One is a girl the other to my displeasure is the boy.

"Okay which one of you is the sophomore?" The girl asked.

I raised my hand thinking I was with her but, the boy walked up to me.

"Hi, I'm Cory and you are?" The black haired boy introduced himself.

"I'm Caitlyn Night. Sorry I'm not use to the customs around here so if I do something insulting, I don't mean it."

"So what country are you from? Before I lived here I lived in Phoenix, Arizona. So I know what you mean about the customs." His said with an ear-to-ear grin.

This guy was an outsider at one point.

"I'm from the US. I lived in a lot of towns but I lived in Europe in a small town called Animilia City."

"Animilia City is it big?" He questioned.

"No it's so not big, I was like an eighth the size of L.A. back in the U.S."

"Then whys it called a city?

"Well, to the town people it is a city and apparently it was larger a long time ago but, a fire destroyed most of the town."

We arrived at the class room, which was actually hard to find. He opened the door and leda me to the front desk to see where I would sit. The teacher made me stand in front of the class and tell them something about myself.

"Hi I'm Caitlyn Night and I just moved here with my mom and two sisters, Leona and Alice. I am the middle child. Some of you might know my older sister Alice Night, she is a world famous model for Glamour Magazine and she is currently doing a job in town right now. My mom is a famous author, Katrina Night, and she is currently renovating an old store into a cake shop. My youngest sister is nine and she is in the elementary across town. I have lived in the US and in England, I am fluent is several different languages including Japanese, Chinese, English, Norwegian. My birthday is July twenty-second."

The whole class was quiet as I turned to look at the teacher who was also speechless. After a minute he told me that I was to sit in front of Cory, who wasn't as bad as I expected. I also sat behind a girl that looked like she was a nerd with her big round glasses and one who had short red hair pulled up in pigtails. After class Cory came up to me and started to talk.

"Oh yeah, by the way let me see your schedule and was that Alice I saw you with on the soccer field?" He asked.

"Yeah that was her don't let her looks deceive you, she's horribly catty and is extremely self-centered."

"You know, you look like someone that I knew for where I lived in Arizona."

"Whoa, wait you lived in Arizona? What area?"

"I lived in Phoenix."

"I lived there until when I was about nine years old and I moved to Animilia."

"Cool I don't remember much I left when I was like six or so." He stated.

"Anyway do you know where the gym is? I'm like so lost."

"Yeah I have gym next let me see your schedule. I want to know what classes we have together."

I handed him my schedule with no complaint, I wanted to see which classes we had together. He looked it over for a minute. The whole time that he was I was praying for us to have some more classes with each other. A shocked look came over his face.

"What is that our last class together?" I asked worrying.

"No it's not our last one we have the exact same schedule down to the same lunch and teachers. That is a first." He told me.

He was shocked and I was dancing circles in my head praying thank you to the man upstairs.
