Promise of Reunion
Chapter 1: Unexpected
Because... we will see eachother again!
"Ib! Are you done with your breakfast? I have to drop you off at school and then head to my work. I can't be late!" Ib's mother yelled from across the room.
"... Yes mother.. I just finished eating, I'll go grab my binder.." Ib yelled back. Ib walked over to the sink and put her dishes away. She headed upstairs and into her room. Ever since the museum, she would check. A vase full of water, the blood red colored rose still lived. This flower wasn't any ordinary rose. It was her life, so she had to be very careful of the flower. She wondered what would happen if the flower went missing or someone would pull the petals off.. Would the same happen to her, like what Mary did to Garry?
"..Loves me... Loves me not... Loves me... Loves me not.. .. Loves Me!"
Ib's mother sat patiently inside her car, waiting for Ib. She pressed the center of the wheel, and a sound came out. Ib was startled and headed down the stairs, slipped on her smoke black shoes on and headed inside the car. As the car headed out of the driveway, the garage closed and they headed to Ib's school. Ib was now in middle school, a 7th grader. Over the summer, she had to transfer schools, and Ib didn't really mind. The school she was now attending was a mix with the highschool. Both schools where connected by the hallways, but highschoolers had still highschool classes and middle schoolers had middle school classes. Nothing was different besides this school being the only school to be connected with older teens. Ib didn't really have much friends, but she wanted some company. Ib arrived at the front of the school. The car gently came to a stop and Ib's mother looked at her.
" Here we are, Ib. Your new school. Do try to make some friends here, okay?" Ib's mother gently stroked her hair, warmly smiling.
"..." Ib didn't really say anything, she didn't really know what to reply back.
"Well, do your best, Ib! I hope you like your new school!" Ib's mother got out of her side of the car and opened Ib's side of her door. Ib looked up at her mom, and headed out.
"Thank you.." Ib mumbled.
Ib's mother had heard her and smiled. "I love you Ib, have a great day as a 7th grader." She lightly patted her shoulder and went inside the car and drove away. Ib waved as her mom drove away. Ib now faced towards the school and walked forward. The school was amazingly big. She turned to her left and went inside the office. A mid-aged woman with light red hair with glasses was at the desk.
"Hi there. How may I help you, miss?" The red haired woman glanced up a bit wide eyed.
"Are you new here?" The elder woman asked.
"..Yes, I am. My name is Ib.."
The elder one smiled and typed in her name. "Ah, Ib? That's quite a pretty name you have. My name is Rochel. I am the main office worker here."
"Rachel?..." Ib spoke, gently.
"You're a very pretty girl, a shy one too. Has anyone ever told you that, Ib?" Rachel warmly greeted her, making Ib feel welcome and safe.
"Anyone hasn't told me that, but thank you, Rachel." Ib replied, smiling.
" The girls here are also pretty, but most of them don't have manners. They're pretty protective when they have their eyes set on a guy they like.." Rachel told.
"Oh.." Ib blinked a bit.
"But don't you worry! With your personality, you're gonna stand out!" Rachel complimented, and printed out a paper and handed the paper to Ib.
"Here's your schedule, Ib. Welcome to Saukura Mitsuhashi Junior School!" Rachel smiled.
"Thank you, Rachel.. Oh! May I eat lunch with you? If you don't mind.. I didn't really have friends at school before I transferred.."
Rachel was surprised, but smiled. "Of course you can, just meet me here and we can go eat at the teacher's lounge.. You better get going to your class, you missed about 15 minutes of your 1st hour!"
Ib laughed a bit and headed out. "Thank you, Rachel!"
Rachel waved at Ib as she walked out. Ib looked at her schedule.

"1120, 1112, 1106?... I'm going to a sophomore's class? This must be mistaken.." Ib skipped going to her locker and went to her sophomore's algebra class. She nervously opened the door, and tall teenage boys and girls stared at her. The teacher turned his head and smiled.
"You must be the new student, Ib." The tall man walked towards the 5'3 gentle girl. One of the students sitting there, was surprised to see her.
"I'm Mr. Mitsuhashi. I'm Sakura's older brother that teaches here. You're the youngest student in my classroom. Please sit anywhere you'd like."
"... Thankyou... Mr. Mitsuhashi." She looked over to the seats and one of the students got up and walked towards her.
"He looks awfully familar.." She whispered.
"Ah yes! Garry! Please do the honors in showing her to each of her classrooms. I have a special pass for you, so you don't have to worry about being late."
Ib's head spun.. Garry? The nice man who helped her throughout the 'other side' of the museum? He.. Garry, has the same class as me.. Garry, goes to school with me.. He's a sophomore..
Because... we will see eachother again!
