A new school means new love right! No I must be reading too much shojou. Surprisingly, I'm not looking forward to it as much as I though I would. It's not that I particularly hate school or anything but I usually end up hating the people in it. I'm transferring from my crappy old public school to a new private school called Dublin University. The only reason I transferred here was because of my childhood friend. Well that and I couldn't stand my old one. She told me all about this new school she was going to and how awesome it was. I wanted to go so bad just to get away from my old school. I was the nerdy girl who didn't have any friends. I only have one friend I ever stayed in contact with.
Her name is Ember but I think everyone calls her Em now. She's a year older than me which makes her 19 but she started school late so we are in the same grade. She has long, white hair, light blue eyes, and pale ivory skin. She is one of the most popular and most beautiful people I have ever seen. She is on the track, swim, and baseball teams. Not to mention she has a really hot boyfriend! When I first met her I thought she was too good to be true and that she must be a robot, then again I was 4 when we met. I later found out she sucks at cooking, she's impossibly clumsy, she sucks at most school subjects, she acts like kid, she is lazy, and she loves to eat and play video games.
I have dark purple hair and dark blue eyes that both look black unless I stand in the sun. I'm not all that popular because I tend to get shy around people and I'm not all that pretty because I never usually wear makeup. I wear bright red glasses, and I'm what most would call a nerd. I'm not athletic, but I have pretty normal grades and I make one hell of a cook. Not to mention I don't think I've ever even had a boyfriend! I wish I had Ember's life.
Once I got off my plane I was suppose to go to my new home. Ember offered up her spare bedroom almost instantly. "You said you don't have a place yet? Not a problem! You can totally crash at my place for however long you need! I have like 3 extra rooms and its so super huge. I'm all alone so it would be awesome to have you around." That's what she said on the phone a month ago. I called a taxi and finally had some time to relax. My phone vibrated once I got in the cab…
'From: Ember
Yo! Mitsuko! Welcome hooome!
I went to go pick something up at my boyfriends house so I may be a little late. I left a spare key under the mat so when you get there just let yourself in and make yourself at home!
-Em'
I looked at the text for awhile and all I thought about was what her boyfriend was like. They looked like a really cute couple in all the pictures she sent me and she seems to like him a lot. I still have no idea what he's like, let alone his name.
-skip forward an hour-
W-What the hell is this!? Did I get the address wrong! No that cant be it but… This isn't a house it's more of a mansion! I quickly calm myself down and then remember that Ember is a rich girl. Her whole family is made up of rich people, from doctors to lawyers to the CEO's of big time companies. Her dad left her mom when she was little and her mom died when she was 5 so she spent most of her life with her crazy rich grandma. My parents worked a lot so I never saw them much but they are still really nice and so supportive of almost everything I do. I grabbed the key to the house and walked in…
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! The ceilings are all so high! And there's such beautiful artwork and statutes- and oh my gawd! Is that the bathroom! These sinks are amazing! The tub is humongous! What! She has a garden! There's a river and a bunch of golden statutes! Hard believe she's 19 and already has this huge house.
I was walking around giving myself a tour and somehow found my way back to the main staircase without getting lost. Just then the door opened and in walked some albino guy, he was kind of hot. I jumped a little and wasn't sure if this was a burglary. "Hey! Do you know where Em is?" Said the albino guy with a German sounding accent. "Uh-um w-who? Oh! Wait! S-she's um at her boyfriends house but should be back soon." "Alright cool! Then I will just stay here until she comes back." "Eh heh heh right… Um who are you?" I asked still really confused but acting surprisingly calm. "Oh! You are looking at the awesome Gilbert! I'm Em's classmate no need to worry" "Uh huh right well um just make yourself at home…" I said thinking about how my mom always told me to be hospitable. He made his way to the kitchen then to the living room. I heard the door open again and hoped it wasn't another random guy.
It was Ember wearing some shorts and a black tank top that read "HERO" in big red letters, she also had thigh high blue socks. She was carrying a bag around her shoulder which she dumped on the floor with a thud. She took off her black high-top converse and looked up in surprise. "Oh! Hey what's up Mitsu! Long time no see! Did you make yourself at home?" "Uh y-yeah thanks a bunch Ember…" "oh no problem I will show you to your room in just a sec. But I'm sure you know your way around here by now, you were always good at that." "u-um Ember…" "oh and I don't really cook all that much so you can be in charge of cooking cause the only thing I can make right is hamburgers…" "Emberr…" "I have a bunch of ingredients you can use and I can always go out if you need anymore…" "EMBER!" She looked up at me shocked "What's up something happen?"
"Uh w-well there was a weird guy who came by a-and" "Hey there Em!" There was the albino- I mean Gilbert. "Oh! Haha Hey Gil!" She looked up at me "This here's Gilbert he's a classmate of mine. Which means he comes over from time to time and crashes on my couch. He's a nice guy but he can be a dick and kinda pervy too…" "What! I'm an awesome guy! I'm not a dick! Gawd I just came over to get the notes for today cause I fell asleep in class" "Haha clam down man! Here!" She hands him what looks to be a notebook. "Can't you go ask your brother or even Roderick some time?" "But you're so close to meee! Kesesese" He hugged her really hard and ran out the doorway yelling something in German as he left. Ember yelled something back in German but I don't speak any German so I would never know what they were saying to each other. Well that is until I asked.
Ember showed me to my room and it was huge as usual. It was almost as big as my old house. "Sorry I had to give you such a small room but I thought you would like it." She's such a rich girl. I had some extra time so I started on dinner. We had some pasta which Ember enjoyed since she obviously didn't have any home cooked meals recently. Ember went into the living room with the huge 70 inch TV to watch The Avengers. I went back upstairs to finish unpacking.
My room was painted a cream color and had its own TV, awesome desk, bookshelves galore, a huge bed, a window with an awesome view of the city, and my own bathroom! It looked like someone had already moved into my room there were clothes which Ember said were her old ones but she said I could use them if I wanted. The bed had its own comforter and pillows which are black lace. She had picked up my textbooks and study guides and placed those on the book shelves and she even got me some new manga and two little figurines that looked like us! How adorable! And after I was done unpacking it looked like someone had been living there for a long time, it had such a nice homey feeling I loved it.
I was proud of my work and looked at the clock. 10:00 Oh. Shit. I had to get up at 6 in the morning! I quickly took a shower and went to bed. By the time I woke it was about 5:00 and still dark out. I put on my school uniform and headed down stairs. Ember wasn't up yet but she left a note for me.
' Good morning Mitsu!
Make yourself breakfast and I should be down soon. If I'm not don't wait for me.
–Em '
I was just about to walk out the door when I heard a bunch of crashing noises coming from the kitchen. I heard a small 'shit' then I saw Ember run out of the kitchen doors with a piece of toast with jelly in her mouth. She ran towards me not even acknowledging the fact I was there. She quickly but on her high-top converse and shoved her phone and keys in her bag. She was just about to run out the door when she noticed me. She tripped and face planted but then shot back up "Dude! You're suppose to be at school!" I looked confused at her "I was just going to school…" "Well we are going to be late!" She yelled at me before grabbing my hand and yanking me out the door.
"Ughhhh! I can't believe I forgot my clock was an hour ahead of time!" I smiled as we walked next to each other. Ember's uniform was a little different than mine. She had the same skirt and white sweater but she had a red blazer that wasn't buttoned, and her signature thigh high socks on. My uniform had the same skirt and sweater with an undershirt and a black tie. I had to keep pulling down my skirt because it felt shorter than I was used to. Ember looked so beautiful in hers and I thought I must look like a whore compared to her. "Oh your skirt is fine! You look great! Trust me ok?" I nodded a little nervous.
"I had to pull some strings but I managed to get you in most of my classes. But we have a different gym class. I hope you join some clubs too! We have some crazy clubs here at school." I looked up in surprise "Really? What clubs are you in?" She gleamed and it almost seemed like sparkles were going to explode everywhere "I belong to the hero club of course!" I had never heard of such a club but it sounded fun. "They even have an anime club." Ember nudged my shoulder knowing how much I love my anime. "Oh shut up!" "Ahaha! You're too funny!"
Ember went on and on about how much I'm going to love it here, she said that I'm going to meet all her friends and kept going on and on. I was so excited, but nervous, but excited. I think I'm turning Bipolar or something. But I couldn't wait to see what happens!
